Chloe stood up and fixed her clothes then turned her head and looked at Jerome.
” I’ll call you once I’m done. See you later.” Jerome stood up also and both of them walked of the the apartment.
They walk to the elevator and Jerome pressed the button.
“Be careful honey pie. We don’t want anybody to discover that your still alive. Extra careful when you go to your mom’s grave.”
” Ding…” The elevator opened and both of them went inside. Jerome pressed the lobby and the door closed. “I will buddy. Thanks for the concerned.”
” Ding…”
The elevator opened and they walked out and went straight to the door. Door automatically opened and both of them standing outside.
The car will pick you up in 2 minutes we can wait here first.
” No worries I will drop you at building B before leaving.”
Jerome smiled and look at her. ”
“No need, I will just walk. Anyway I’m still a military don’t you forget that!”
He laughs while started walking away from her.
” See you later buddy.”
She shouted while watching him walks away.
After awhile the car stopped in front of her. She opened the door and slid her self in.
“Hi Ms. Chloe, how are you? ”
Mr. Grey greeted her.
” Hello Mr. Grey to the St. Burge please but let’s drop by to the nearby flower shop I want to buy some roses. Thank you.”
She instructed.
The driver started the engine and drives for Chloe. They stopped by to the flower shop and Chloe got out of the car and chose pink roses.
“I want dozens of Pink roses please.”
Her mom’s favorite flower is pink rose.
Their old mansion had a fresh pink roses everyday.
Even how busy her mom was she always make sure that there were pink roses around the house. Pink roses reminded her mom’s youthful days.
How she and her best friend used to love picking roses in the garden but sadly her best friend passed away with her cancer when they were in college.
From that day onward Amy never fail to buy fresh pink roses everyday to make sure the presence of her best friend is still around by looking at those beautiful pink roses.
” Here you go ma’am.”
The shop lady handed her the dozen of roses that already arranged in a beautiful bouquet. “Thank you so much its look beautiful.”
She smelled the pink roses and handed her the money for the flowers.
She walked to the car, opened the door and slid her self in while holding the bouquet of pink roses.
“Let’s go Mr. Grey.”
The driver started the engine and drove to the St. Burge memorial park. The temperature outside was percent.
It wasn’t hot nor cold. It’s perfect for a visit to her mom.
Inside the car was silent and Chloe was anxious. “How come did Denyx Moore knew Anna? What was his connection to her?
She can’t even remember his name before when she was young.
It made her anxious but it seems that he knew me before but its just I can’t remember his name.
She thought for a long time that she didn’t realize they reached the memorial park.
” We’re here Miss.”
The driver reminded her.
“Thank you Mr. Grey. Please wait for me here outside. I’ll call you when I’m done.”
She reached out the door and opened to get out. She stood for a while and looked at the place. It’s been two decades.
The last time she was here was the day before she left to Boston.
She couldn’t see her mother’s memorial service because she wasn’t allowed by her father for her serious injury asides from that her father hid her for her safety reasoned.
After a month of her recovery she’d finally met her mother’s grave. It was so painful that she cried too much and wished she also died with her that day.
But her father was still standing brave and fought for her happiness all these years even he can see how sad and broken she is every time she look at her mom’s picture.
She have it with her everywhere she goes. She couldn’t let go of her mom’s death for a long time.
Until such time that she learned how to investigate the caused of accident that changed her entire life.
She sighed deeply and started walking towards her mother’s grave.
She stopped in the front of two large tombstone. Written their names Amy Mc Len and Anna Mc Len.
But to her surprised she saw two bouquet of flowers on the graves.
One for her mother and one for her and it shocked her to see the lollipop next to the bouquet of flowers.
It is still look fresh. Who brought flowers for her and mom?
Is it dad?
But dad knew that I’m still alive how come he will ask someone to buy flower for her too and the strange thing is the lollipop? She was confused.
Anyway it might dad he always mentioned that he make sure mom’s grave is cleaned.
She was talking to her self but then shrugged her shoulders.
She kneeled on Amy Mc Len’s tombstone. She put the current flowers to the left side and put the bouquet of pink roses on the right side. “Mom I missed you so much. I know it’s been two decades I haven’t visited you and I’m sorry for that.”
The tears on her face slowly fell.
“Look at me now mom I grown up and I really look like you, you know.
I really misses those moments you read stories for me every night.
Those times you pick up me from school. Those memories you left is hard to forget. Everyday I still wish the same that I still hope you are here with me.
Watching me grow and get married someday but all these hopes are hard to get.”
She sobbed so hard. All these years she was holding her emotions but today she is like a child who lost her favorite toy that couldn’t stop crying.
“Mom it’s really hurt. I am still broken of your sudden death.
But you know dad took good care of me and so do I to him. Our lives in Boston is okay but not that special because you weren’t there. But somehow we managed to live a peaceful life there with the helped of some special friends.
This is the first time I came back after two decades mom and everyday I never forget you because you are always in my heart.
Mom Chloe Johnson is your daughter now.
A successful woman in business industry.
Will you believe it that I’m the CEO and founder Johnson’s company?
I tried hard mom until my heart became numbed. I did it all because I want to give you justice.
“The life that they took away from you and us will be paid soon. I promised that I will bring justice for your death.”
She touched the tombstone of her mother with her left hand while sobbing and she looked at Anna’s tombstone.
She touched it with her right hand as well.
“Sorry Anna because your name has to die with mom too.
You’re no longer live with me in this name because you’re Chloe Johnson now.
You know Anna those memories of yours are my favorite one.
You were the free spirit child. I remembered that you used to get a lollipop everyday to that boy.”
She smiled touching her name on the tombstone.” That memory I haven’t forget about you.
How I wish I had the chance to ask his name but it doesn’t happen because somebody took your name away and buried it with mom’s death.
How I wish I could be that girl full of happiness and love in her heart. Sadly I grew up so different than I used to be.”
She lifted her hand and wiped the tears on her face. She didn’t realize that it was getting darker.
It was been 2 and half hours she sat down and cried to her mom’s tombstone.
She looked at the time and it was 15 minutes before 6 o’clock in the afternoon.
She touched her mom’s name and then stood up.
“I’ll visit you again soon mom. I love you and I miss you.”
She touched her lips and blew a kiss to her mother’s tombstone.
She cleaned her pants with her hands and stretch it out and pulled down her blouse to make sure her clothes are not wrinkled.
She looked at the two tombstone again and turned around and left.
She picked out her mobile phone in her bag and called the driver.
“Hello Mr. Grey we can go now.”
She walked to the gate and saw Mr. Grey was waiting for her in the car. She reached the door and opened it. She pushed her body inside the car and sat down.
“Let’s go Mr. Grey. We will pick up Jerome first before going to the restaurant.”
She lowered her head because her eyes were swollen. She cried too much since she arrived at her mom’s grave.
“Okay Miss.”
Mr. Grey noticed her eyes were swollen but he understood that it caused of her crying.
He can just drive and sighed. He understands how difficult and sad when your love ones died.
Mr. Grey was the son of their Butler Thomas when they were living in the Mc Len mansion.
They’re the people who still take good care of the place.
When they found out that Chloe was alive they were so happy but no one is allowed to expose this secret for her safety.
They still kept the mansion clean and tidy.
Infact its still looks the same when they left. When he knew she was coming he volunteered himself to be Chloe’s driver but because of some awareness about the plan he couldn’t drive for her all the time.
She has to switched her position to Jerome.
He is not allowed to call her young madam Anna Mc Len nor Chloe Johnson but only Chloe Mack.
Mr. Grey is 10 years older than Chloe.
He remembered before when Chloe was young she used to run freely on the mansion ground and garden.
She loves picking flowers with her mom. She was so charming and soft.
Looking to her on the mirror car he could tell that Chloe had really changed.
She look very strong and cold- hearted woman. She’s way far of what she was before.
