I woke up to someone touching my face. When I opened my eyes the first person I saw was Zack. I wanted to remove his hand from my face but I just felt tired
'' Leave me alone,'' I said.
'' Not until you listen to what I have to say,'' I kept quiet. I didn't even know why I was upset.

It was not him who I was upset with.

It was my family and myself. Zack didn't do anything I was just frustrated.

I thought I could prevent the death of my grandfather but once again I failed.

In my past life I thought he died because of his disease but no it was because of his wife, son and his daughter in law. I thought they would take care of him this time because they had enough money.

It's my fault for thinking that these people would have a heart to take care of someone who was old and part of their family when all they care about is themselves.

And Matt how dare he come close to me. If it wasn't for me being weak yesterday. I would have made sure he coughed out blood even better I would have made him a cripple.

Zack explained to me who Lara was. I didn't like her. She seems to be Ariana but more dignified.

I guess now I attracted a new enemy

Why can't life just be simple

'' Zack, I'm tired of hearing you talk about her. If you don't stop I will start thinking that you actually like her .'' I said covering his mouth. He removed my hands.
'' I would never like such a girl,'' he said
'' yeah, why not?'' I asked smiling
'' Her father is the reason why my parents died in the car accident .''
'' What ?''

I was so shocked

Lara's father was the man who Zack is mother fell in love with at first.

In the novel Zack had written it explained everything. Ivan(Zack's father) and Luke( Lara's father) were best friends from middle school. In highschool Ivan went abroad to learn how to take care of the company. Roxanne (Zack's mother) fell in love with Luke and so they started dating but Roxanne was forced to marry Ivan who she later fell in love with. Luke was upset that his best friend married his girlfriend but he was fine with it because he never actually loved Roxanne. He saw it as an opportunity to get richer. He wanted everything that his best friend Ivan had. He didn't really think of Ivan as his best friend because he had hated Ivan from the very beginning. He hated how Ivan was richer than him.

'' Can we go see grandma?'' I asked.
I didn't really feel like continuing this topic. I felt as if Zack really had memories even though he was willing to tell me.
'' Okay ,'' he said after a while.

When we came out from the room Dorcas came forward and slapped me. I didn't expect so I could not dodge.

'' Because of you my husband is in the hospital lifeless !'' She shouted. Zack wanted to hit her but I stopped him.

I wasn't weak

I was just going through a lot

I witnessed my grandfather's death for the second time.

I didn't want to mourn for his death because he wouldn't like it especially since this was my second time. I know his in a better place.

Now this woman comes here and slaps me like I did something wrong.
'' Are you try to blame for his death even when we both know who's really to blame. Do you think I don't know that you changed his medicine because apparently you could not afford it even after I gave you billions .''
'' I...I...I don't know what you are talking about,'' she denied nervously.
'' I don't even know how to describe what shameless things you have done. Shameless is an understatement. How could you do that to your own husband?''
I asked.
'' Iris don't talk to your grandmother like that! ''  Chris shouted.
'' see, I told you we should have sent her back to that place. It is the only nice thing we can do for a child of Emma's .'' Sarah said.
