"I'll go," Mia spoke.
She had been living rough in this mansion. How hard could it be to live in another mansion full of danger? Besides, she knew this would save her father's life. She doesn't want to be selfish like her step-sisters. She wanted to show how she love her father. Even if it will cost her life.
...
"Sweety," her father spoke. He was standing beside Mia's door watching her pack her clothes.
Mia looked at his father and smiled. "Dad," she said. Her father went near her and sat on the couch beside her bed. "I'm sorry," he said. "I know you shouldn't be in this situation. I promised your mother to protect you but," he paused.
Mia stopped packing and sat beside her father. "Dad, did you love mom?" she suddenly asked. Before she leaves, at least she knows if his father ever loved her mother. It's important to her.
"She's the sweetest. I loved everything about her," her father answered while looking back at the times when he was still with her mother.
Mia smiled and went back to packing her clothes. "I love you, dad. I hope I can still return to you," she sadly said.
Hearing that sad voice her father stood up, kissed her forehead, and embraced her. "I love you too sweety. Please come back anytime," he said after they parted. "Lina is coming with you. I don't want you to have a hard time at the new mansion," he said about the personal maid assigned to Mia.
Lina has been with her since she came to the de la Costa mansion. They have the same age that made them close to each other. She has been a personal maid and a best friend for her. "Thank you, dad," she replied.
...
Mia is done packing so she sat at her vanity table and looked at her reflection. Her long black hair was tied up while some are down covering her long eyelashes. She looked for the lip gloss that maintained her pinkish lips and applied it on. She then heard a knock from her bedroom door.
"Miss, have you packed everything already?" Lina asked.
"Yes, thank you for coming with me," she said as she looked at Lina.
"Wherever you go, I'll go. I'm your maid you know you can't leave without me," she jokingly said that made the both of them giggle.
Lina then carried Mia's luggage and put it in the van. The family driver will accompany them to Jake's mansion.
As they travel Mia noticed that the path has no sign of houses. It's like they have left the city. Where is Jake's mansion?
"Lina, are we out of town?" she asked.
