Chapter One

"Ms. Kerr, you father has request your presence", my fingers pause, but soon continued to slide across the piano as I gave back a soft hum. The melody today was sad, it's been three years since I left his side.

But I f*****g hate him, I never want to see him again, over my f*****g dead body. he never had the right to f**k with my head. my fingers stop with that thought, I close the lid to the piano and stood. My dress dropping to my feet, it dragged behind me as I left the almost empty music room.

the last note still ringing in my ears, even though the sound is long gone.

he f****d with my head. and I let him. willingly, wholeheartedly.

I make my way down the old oak hallway that's filled with pictures of dead relatives I never met. I make a left, as I take in a deep breath, and kept it in as I enter my dad's bedroom.

sadness crept into my heart as I see all of the medical equipment and wires hooked to him. he was in stage four cancer. My mother died when I was young due to giving birth to me. Her body was weak, yet she wanted to have me.

I reach for his hand, and it makes him area that I'm here. He smiles and speaks, "you look just like her", then he looks away. "I don't have much time, so of course since your my only child, you must take over the company. I can't leave knowing you not protected", he said with his raspy voice. Tears pooled in my eyes but I kept them from falling.

"Don't speak like that, your going to get better", I said but my shaky voice made me sound less confident. he looked at me once more, his loving eyes cast on me, a tear slipped and he slowly reach to wipe it away.

what if I can't run the business? what if I mess up?

"do it your way, don't worry about following in my steps, create you own. I just want to die knowing I left my daughter in the safety of the business", he said with a gentle smile. the doors open and the nurse walked in with his lunch.

I hesitated to let him go, but I eventually loosen my fingers one by one . "I love you papa", I said giving him a hug.

"I love you too, never be scared to face something head on. be the fireball I know you can be", he said as I turn to leave.

I wish his words were true, that I can be that person.

but I nod to make him happy. I let a breath go as I close the door behind me. I wipe my face from the fresh tears that are running down them. My chest heaves as I think about being alone in this world without my father.

I tap my fingers on the edge of my desk, it feels smooth yet rough. I force myself not to think about her, but on the women who's sitting in my lap right now, with both of her legs on either side. lips locked on mine.

yet I find myself waiting for it to end, instead of the other way around. her dark brown hair softly graze me face as she pulled back, she smiles. it doesn't reach my cold heart like it should, so my face stays blank.

"I have to go," she said with her thick foreign accent, she was from the Bahamas. I saw her while I was on the beach this last week, I flew her back with me, but now I'm flying her back.

I was done with her.  I don't watch her as she put's on her heels, instead I focus on work.  My fingers fly as I type up and email. I heard my door close but I was solely focus on my work.

once I was finished.

I stand up and push in my office chair, I walked out of my office, putting on my jacket. I felt a buzz in my left pocket.

I fish out my phone,

My feet halt as this information sinks in.
