"Clean it later, I am busy. Is breakfast ready?"Avia replied not even looking at the girl
"Will be ready in few minutes ma'am"Sharon said waiting for permission to leave
"Don't bother preparing breakfast. Call a cab, I need to go out"Avia said finally turning but walking towards the bathroom
"Yes ma'am"Sharon said and leave in a hurry.
Few minute later, Avia came out of the room in a casual blue crop top and matching high waist trouser, her pink slip on fits her milky skin, she pack her hair in ponytail, her pink mini bag hangs down her shoulder and she's not on make-up making her natural beauty do the work.
"Is the cab here?"Avia asked walking towards Sharon

"Okay, you called the cab for her right?"Mimi asked from the other end
"Yes ma'am"Sharon replied
"Track where the cab is going and text it to me. After my class, I will go there"Mimi said before hanging up. Sharon did as told and sent Avia's location after the cab finally stopped.

"They are beautiful like you princess"Lorea said hugging Avia in her arms
"And I am beautiful like you granny"Avia replied giving her granny a kiss
"Princess do you know this is where your grandfather plucked the first flower he gave me? I really love this garden and this is my favorite property because this is where I and your grandfather did our honeymoon"Lorea explained caressing the little girl's hair
"This is my favorite property too granny"Little Avia said smiling happily
"Why Princess?"Lorea asked looking at the little smart girl
"Because this is where you played with me in the garden"Avia replied hugging her granny.
Lorea has always been hell-bent on been clean and not letting Avia touch mud from the garden, she scolds her maids always especially her nanny Mary. She played with Avia in the garden because it reminds her of her husband.

"I miss you granny"Avia said hugging the flowers
"Granny, why didn't you tell me about all this secrets unfolding?"Avia asked looking at the flowers she's holding as if it was her granny
"Granny, you know this is my favorite property too right? You told me about your honeymoon and people you trusted but you never said a word about my mother. Granny why didn't you say a word about who my mother is? Granny I really loved and trusted you right now I don't know what I feel?"Avia cried dropping the flower at the last word she said
***FLASHBACK TO THIS MORNING***
Avia's phone was ringing and by the time she checked who it was, it was the private investigator she hired, she picked up immediately.
"Good morning ma'am"The PI greeted
"Morning,why so early?"She asked coldly
"Because it is important ma'am"The PI replied
"Okay, go on"Avia said coldly
"I still haven't find out who Rose is or where she lives but I found out the woman whose middle name is Rose is your mother ma'am. Your grandmother took you away from the woman immediately she gave birth to you. The woman who you considered your mother is infertile and can't give birth."The PI said and cough before he continues
"Rose gave birth to you twenty two of October in a local hospital, your grandmother Lorea was the only person waiting for her outside the labor room and she took you away from her few days after you came to the world"The PI explained
"I guess that's all"Avia said and hanged up.
She stands up and walk to window to register everything said to her in her brain.
***PRESENT***
Avia was still in the garden crying which is making her head bang seriously, she searched her bag for her drugs and used it with the water she bought earlier from the convenience store. Her body calm a little before she realize she wasn't the only one sitting there and someone else was beside her, being the hard girl she is, she did not flinch at all.
"Why are you here?"Avia asked before looking at the person beside her
"To be your friend"Mimi who was beside Avia right before her headache
"I don't need a friend, stay on your lane"Avia said and stand up to leave before sitting back
"This is a private property, you should leave before I call the police"Avia added after realizing it is her house
"I will leave after giving you a piece of my mind. Miss Simpson, crying won't solve whatever problems you have, the only thing that can solve your problems is sharing it with someone. Acting like a hard girl will only break you more trust me. If you need anyone to talk to, Mimi will always be here for you"Mimi said before leaving the property.
Avia cry more after listening to what Mimi had to say to her, she believes she really needs a friend but does not want to trust anybody after everything that happened to her.
AVIA'S POV
What exactly should I feel after knowing the truth? I am the illegitimate child. After cursing the woman who gave birth to me, what should I feel? I am really disappointed in my father once again, this is all his fault, if he only he refused to marry my mother oh I mean the woman he married no she's my mother and no one can take that right away from her not even Rose, all this wouldn't have happened if he did something about it but no he decided to cheat on my mother and have this illegitimate child. How did my mother feel? How did she feel taking care of me an illegitimate child? Avia think about how Rose felt too, her child was taken away from her, no she was paid and she collected the money, she sold me out. Doesn't she love me or was I a mistake in her life? God this things are making me crazy, I need help but don't know who to ask for help, I can't even ask Mary, she's not who she seems to be. Who else can I ask for help? Miss Cruz? No I don't want to! I mistook betrayal for love twice and took an enemy as my friend so I don't want to do it anymore. But I have no one to turn to! Only God can help me right now.
MIMI'S POV
Wow!!! This girl is really using the hard girl cover, who could have thought she knows how to cry, she is always cold and dangerous. But how can I help her if she doesn't want my help? Secretly helping her, hmmm that's nice.
