Their End, My Beginning novel Chapter 9

“You got a letter from my dad!!!! When?”

“After funeral I got this letter,”, He goes to the table in the living room and takes an envelope ad gives it to me. “You were sad and didn’t want to talk to anyone I thought it will be best to not hand it to immediately so I waited to find a perfect moment and then I forgot about it and since you mentioned about finding an apartment, I remembered the letter because, well read it find it out yourself.” And with that, he left the room.

I don’t know whether to be angry or sad or happy. Angry because uncle read the letter addressed to me before I could, sad because I have been sad ever since the accident, and happy because I got something from my dad when I am feeling the world around me crushing down. My emotions are all over the place that I feel numb.

I sat down on the couch with the letter on my lap, thinking what to do. Well, the letter is already opened now I only need to unfold it. Gathering all the strength in me, I unfolded the letter.

“My baby girl,

If you got this letter, it means we are no longer near you to comfort you. We are sorry for that. My baby, just know that your mother and I will always be near you. I also know the fact that you are completely devastated because those shadows that have been lurking around you have finally showed their actual faces, I am sorry that I am not there to help you figure things out. I also know that now you don’t believe anyone, even your own family, but one thing for sure: you can trust your Uncle Nick, go to him when you don’t know what to do. Again, I am actually we both are very sorry you have to go through this alone. Since you are old and smart enough to protect yourselves, you don’t have to have anyone as your guardian, and hence we have not given the guardianship to Nicholas and Olivia. But we can’t bear to see you roam around in the cities since I know you too well to know that you won’t stay with anyone thinking you don’t want to be burden and that’s why I proudly say that you are Damien Griffin’s daughter which I will never be sorry for, so I have arranged you an apartment in the city itself close to the workplace I have arranged for you I have attached address of your apartment also the details of the company in which you will work in (if you want to which I know you will take upon my offer) at the end of this letter. Well I don’t need a Sherlock’s head, if I have already prepared this letter beforehand I know that someone took over the company and that you can’t enter your own office, and I also know you being a Marshal you will do everything to get what’s yours but for that you need money and with your bank balance you will only be able to live in the apartment you are going to stay in. So yes, I have prepared a position in one of my friends’ company for you. All those you will know later on.

My darling princess, take care of yourself you don’t need someone to take care of you, you are strong to take care of yourself. I and your mother love you so much. Take care.

With lots of love and blessings,

Dad and Mom.
