Aurora pov:

" I get back from work and decide to rest a bit, do some house chores, before going to see my guardian, who has been hospitalized for three years now."

" As I clean the house, I flashback to three years ago, I had just rounded up my studies and gotten an internship at a tech company, it wasn't much but it was better than staying home ".

" As I walk from the company to the driveway, I am so happy and can't wait to go tell Mia the good news. It's been just me and her against the world, ever since father kicked me out at twelve, just because I refused to let their rich guest play with me. How time flies, it's been thirteen years now I haven't heard from my parents. "

" As I walk down, I get broken from my train of thoughts, as I feel my phone ringing in my pocket, I reach out to it and don't recognize the number but decide to pick up anyway, immediately I pick up, I feel my insides crumbling and the driveway spinning before me ".

" I manage to get into my car and drive to the hospital where Mia has been admitted to, while praying this is all a dream and that I wake up soon."

" I get stopped on the way thrice for beating the speed limit, but I didn't care."

" That day changed my life. Every single penny I've earned since then has been used to keep Mia on life support, hoping one day she'll wake up from coma. She is the only family I have right now, my parents don't care if I live or die, I only see my brothers occasionally, they come to me only when they need money and I give them the little I can, sometimes I feel like I'm stupid and it doesn't backfire ".

" checking the clock, I round up the cleaning and prepare to go see Mia at the hospital. On my way, I cash my paycheck to pay for that week."

" Two blocks, to where I get taxi, I feel like I'm being followed but pay no attention to it, and then I stumble upon my brothers."

" As I wake up, tired and tied to a chair in a really dark room, the last thing I remember is being on my way to see my guardian and bumping into my brothers."

" Trying to find a way of getting untied from the chair, the door swings open, and standing by the opening is none other than my father. What do you want? Why am I here? I ask, not caring about the various obvious scars on him. He probably gets them from those he owes. He's got a degree in owing anyway. He smiles weakly at me, 'Aurora, Aurora' , how I've missed you, my darling daughter. Lies, you haven't seen me in years, you don't even know how I've been and now you miss me, nice one but it won't work on me.

" hahaha, you caught me, guilty as charged, I'll just cut the chase, I am owing the Enzo family a large amount of money, they'll be here in a few days and you are going to be my bargaining chip,

'he laughs' and then walks away, slamming the door behind him.

" And just like that, I am stuck preparing for doomsday, thinking who the hell are the Enzo's?.
