  { Lily's point of view}

I wanted to call my daughter Rosabel. Although at times I felt that she was telling lies I could not take the risk now.

'She will be angry.' I thought. Rose has already told me that she had to work late at night. Initially, I was angry but I could not blame my daughter when I myself work late hours when required.

'I hope she is awake.' I crossed my heart as I dialed her number. I knew that she would be coming back for lunch with her boyfriend, or should I say with a man she claims is her boyfriend.

This was not the first time Rosabel had pulled something like this. From the day I started to bug her she was keen enough to fool me.

The man she brought and introduced to me looked genuine and smart until I did a background check. Maybe I was too deeply engrossed in my work that I failed to identify the thoughts of my own daughter.
