"Rafela Valen.. You're okay right?". Asked Hanna who was very worried about Valen who had been silent all this time.
Valen just smiled a little because she couldn't make a sound.
"You should rest here! Let me finish everything!". Hanna said while asking Valen to sit on a chair.
Valen nodded obediently.
After the sun shone brightly, they finally reached the bottom, and Hanna loaded all of Valen's belongings into the car.
They went camping to spend the rest of their vacation because in a week they would be back in college.
Valen was scared because she left without her father's knowledge and without bringing her bodyguards. Her heart was even more restless at the thought of the blood in her mouth and the tragic death of her best friend, Thomas.
A few hours later.
Valen had arrived at her house after taking Hanna home, and Thomas's body had been successfully evacuated by officers who worked to see the beauty of Wolf Hill which is famous for being very beautiful and the best place for camping.
"Ahhh...". Valen grimaced while holding her right cheek as a result of being greeted by a hard slap from her father.
"Sir...". Chloe who is Valen's loyal bodyguard is very worried to see Mr. Stevan hit Valen.
Valen also glanced at Chloe, who had bruises on her face. She could guess that Chloe had been beaten by her father because of her.
"Don't interfere!". Said Mr. Stevan while giving Chloe a cynical look.
They all immediately retreated including Chloe, after that Mr. Stevan dragged Valen to his study.
"Father... I'm sorry!". Valen said while crying.
Mr. Stevan didn't pay attention to Valen's words because he was already controlled by his own anger.
Roughly, Mr. Stevan threw Valen on the sofa, and at that moment Valen's heart hurt even more because her father always treated her as if she was not his biological daughter.
After that Mr. Stevan turned on the television which was showing the news of Thomas's death.
"Look at that...". Said Mr. Stevan with a terrible voice.
Valen gasped in surprise and then cried even harder after seeing Thomas's body on television.
"How dare you deceive, you said that you would go to your grandmother's house. But instead you went to the wolf hill. Have you forgotten my prohibition?". Mr. Stevan stood straight with his back to Valen.
"I'm sorry, Father! I know that you strictly forbid me to approach Wolf Hill. However, I can't refuse my friend's invitation. I also want to find out what's up there." Valen replied in a trembling voice.
"What do you want to know? Don't you know that your friend died from being eaten by wild animals? That's why I forbid you to go there. Wolf hill is not as safe as you see. What if you died? Wasn't it you who was with Thomas last night? News involving you, can you imagine how the reporters are hunting you down?". Shouted Mr. Stevan while staring intently at Valen.
Valen's cries grew louder when she heard her father's screams. She felt her father was accusing her of killing Thomas. However, she did not know what had happened to her and Thomas.
Mr. Stevan clenched his fists, he was very angry because Valen's answer managed to provoke his anger.
"Father, I'm sorry! I won't do that again, and I didn't kill Thomas!". Valen said.
"Shut your mouth! Don't ever say that! Thomas died from being eaten by wild animals, not you!". said Mr. Stevan seemed to be hiding a big secret from Valen.
"Yes...". Valen immediately nodded because she didn't want to hear her father's scream anymore.
"Now get some rest! Because tonight you have to accompany me to my business partner's party!". Said Mr. Stevan after taking a deep breath. Mr. Stevan must take action before Valen turns 20.
"Yes!". After that Valen immediately left her father's study.
At the door, Chloe was waiting for her.
"I'm sorry! Because of me you got punished!". Valen said while touching the bruises on Chloe's cheeks.
"It's okay! You should rest now! I have prepared all your necessities for bathing!". Chloe said with a sweet smile that showed her beauty.
"Yes". Valen smiled at Chloe.
After that, they immediately went to Valen's room.
Several hours passed. Valen was ready with a red dress and wavy hair tied to the side.
"Are you ready?". Ask Mr. Stevan who just arrived in the living room.
"Yes, father!" Valen replied lazily because she really didn't like coming to parties with her father.
"Then let's go now!" Having said that Mr. Stevan and Richard walked out.
Valen and Chloe also walked behind following Mr. Stevan.
