Chapter 1 ELLICE'S LIFE

ELLICE'S POV

"You know what hon? I can't imagine my life without you. Do you know that? How can I be like this without you? How can I be when I'm drunk? No one will help me." I said as I leaned my head on Nico's shoulder.

Nico is my boyfriend for 3 and a half years.

He laughed a little saying, "I'm used to it hon. I don't have a problem with that. You know what why?"

"Because I love you that much."

"Because you love me that much."

We said together, that's why we both smiled at each other.

"You just don't know, Nico. I'm really really thankful because you came into my life. Even though a lot of people say that I don't deserve you. Still, you're still there. You still haven't given up what we have now. Thank you so much, Hon. Thank you, and I love you. " I said seriously and then hugs him tight.

He caressed my back and speaks at the same time.

"I love you, Ellice, that's why I won't let anyone ruin us, no matter what happens, I will always be here for you," he replied.

"Ellice, Nico, come on, let's eat now. Dinner is ready." my mom calls us.

"Okay, Aunt. We'll go there." Nico replied.

"Let's go, Hon? I'm hungry." he smiled, and then we both stood up going to the kitchen.

After an hour, Nico also went home to their house to take a rest from his work. Nico is working at a clothing company owned by his uncle while I'm working as a real estate agent.

My mom is a single parent because my dad died when I was 7 years old because of an accident at his work, and that was one of the happenings or events that brought trauma to me. Why? Because I saw how my father died.

FLASHBACK

"Ellice! Ellice! Let's go! Maybe something else will happen to us. The fire is getting too big! Let's go! Let's leave this house immediately!" mommy yelled at me as I watched the fire grow or spread around our house.

"W-what's happening, mom? Isn't daddy here yet? Isn't he going home yet to put out the fire?" I innocently asked my mom.

I know daddy was on duty at that time but I know that his job is a firefighter so I think he will come quickly to help us and put out the fire around.

Until mommy and I left the house.

Mommy dragged my left hand while she held a bag.

"Ellice faster!" mommy shouted at me. I don't know but I was really shaking with fear because of the excessive noise of the people around. People who are also asking for help like us.

Until mommy and I were outside and it didn't take long for the firefighters to arrive.

"Our house ..." that's all I said as I saw the fire continue and spread quickly.

"Eloisa! Ellice!" daddy shouted when he saw mommy and I and are standing outside as he approached us.

I quickly ran to daddy and I didn't know that my tears just flowed.

"Ssshhh ... Don't worry daddy is here, okay? Everything will be alright. Trust me." daddy said as he tries to comfort me.

"Be careful Henry!" mommy shouted when daddy ran together with other firefighters

"Lord, please guide them. I hope they can put out the fire and that no one will be harmed." mommy prayed for them beside me. I can see how much she worried not only for my dad but also for her co-workers.

A few more minutes passed and...

"Sir! Sir! We have a big problem! We're running out of water, Sir." one of daddy's companions shouted because the fire was spreading too fast and as he said, they're running out of water.

Until...

"Henry !!! Be careful !!!" mommy shouted while crying ...

I saw daddy. I saw him climbing out of our house and going through the window of our room but ...

We didn't expect what happened next.

"Daddy !!!"

"Henry !!!"

Mommy and I shouted at the same time. Until mommy quickly ran towards daddy who was immediately stopped by the people next to us.

He was knocked down by a large burning wood and he did not see nor notice it. What's even more painful is that it happened in our own house.

"D-daddy ..."

Suddenly my tears flowed as I am standing on the side of the road. Watching how much my mom badly wants to save my dad.

I cannot move at that time. I don't know why I can't step my feet toward daddy ...

Until ... what happened started to sink into my mind ...

That he's gone ... my daddy is gone.

What happened to daddy during those times hurts my heart and mind over and over again.

I'm a daddy's girl that's why I can't easily accept what happened to my dad.

From that day, I wished that I could do something ...

I hope they just let our house burn down or whatever else could burn down so that it didn't happen to my dad.

That he didn't lose his life or that he would not be got an accident and left us.

END OF FLASHBACK

"You're crying again, Ellice," I said to myself.

I'm crying again. I-I just... I just really miss my dad... I always miss him.

"It's been 16 years but, still, I wish you were here dad," I added.

To my surprise, my phone suddenly rang.

Frances calling ...

I immediately wiped the tears from my eyes once I took a deep breath and answered Frances' call.

"Hey! Ellice!" he opened up to me.

"Hey ... W-why?" I answered.

I heard so much noise. I think he's at the bar.

"Is that Ellice? Tell her to go here now! Whooooo!" I even heard a woman shout.

I think it's Giana.

"Ellice?! Hello?! Hello?! Can you hear me?!" consecutively he asked aloud.

"Hey, why not stay away from the noise first," I said to myself.

"Yup! I can hear you!" I shouted while I was in the corner of my room because maybe my mom will hear me. She's sleeping and I don't want to disturb her.

"Let's go here! Come on, girl! I'll treat you!" Frances shouted and encouraged me to go.

I also want to have fun, as always.

Not against Nico, as long as he knows Frances, Giana, and Hazel. They have been our friends since college. So even though I didn't get Nico's permission to hang out with them, he will understand that. He already knew who my companions were and so he will let me just do what I want, besides we're not married yet, and so I just want to do whatever I want and just enjoy life.

"Okay, okay. I'll get to go." I answered whispering and I turned off the phone call after.

I just messaged them in our group chat.

"Message me the address of the bar. I'll take care of it. See you!"

Then after that, I went straight to my closet and search for the clothes that I will be going to wear.

See yah, b*tches!

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
