Day 2 He refused to accept the fact of her death

 It has been 6 months after everything happened. However, Leo still couldn't move on. After reviewing the research about Emma, Leo found himself trapped in her pass and was not able to get rid of it. Sometimes, he would have dreams about Emma. Nightmares about Emma being abandoned and bullied in the boarding school or being sick in the hospital and no one came to take care of her, then he would wake up when he tried to help her.

She worked so hard to get a good grade and graduated from college. She did this all alone and still got beat up by the world. Trouble came by no reasons, sexual harassment in the workplace, colleagues making things difficult for her because of their jealous of her beauty and wisdom. She tried to be nice to everyone and no one shown respect to her just because they knew that the girl had no one supporting her. Eventually, she stop being nice and start to defend herself. She was smart enough to make sure anyone who was dare to trouble her would get their consequences. People started to fear Emma and that's what she wanted.

"I never knew you were about to take out Charles. It's such a good job I have to say."Leo's father commented at the family dinner. Leo barely met his father and having dinner together was nearly impossible to them, but that day was the birthday of Leo's mother. She passed away 8 years ago.

"I didn't do it for you nor your company."Leo replied carelessly.

"Then why would you do that?"James was not satisfied to the attitude of his son.

"Not your business."Leo finish his food and left the table. The dinner had been a torture to him. Sitting with someone he hated and he knew damn well that selfish man had love no one but himself. If it wasn't his sister who asked him to come, he would never show up.

"It's really unbelievable that you still can't get over it, Leo."Lena ran out after him.

"Sorry, Lena. I didn't mean to ruin the dinner."Leo apologized to Lena.

"The fund, I have been watching it, no one has touched it yet. Maybe you should consider to accept the fact of her death."Lena said.

"...No, she's not. Let me know if anything shows up."Leo refused to believe that Emma is dead, not until he had solid prove.

"Maybe she doesn't need your help, I mean if she is alive, that would be a genius plan and she will be alright by herself. I.....mean...I just want you to stop blaming yourself." Lena understood her brother's sadness and guilt. She knew Leo had been down for months already.

"I know. She is such a genius right? She doesn't need anyone. It's just ...I need her."Leo gave Lena a biter smile, then left.

A house without the person you love inside, should change it's name to prison. Leo felt like he was living in prison everyday.
