” So uncle Arthur changed his identity. After Mrs. Mc Len and Anna’s death and he moved to Boston and never been heard again, that’s the reason he changed his surname?” I asked Alex
“Yes sir, that’s right and I just received an information that he is flying to Los Angeles this morning. Our investigator followed him until to the airport.”
“Good Alex, we have to find uncle Arthur as soon as possible. I need to talk to him.”
” Our person went the same flight with Mr. Mc Len sir. I instructed them to follow him until to his final destination.”
“Okay, prepare all those documents I gave you. He needs to see that before my dinner to Chloe tonight do it as you can to find out where will be uncle Arthur is. I will come myself to see him.”
“I got it sir.” Alex left my office and closed the door. I felt relieved after hearing those things about uncle Arthur. I pulled the drawer and took out Anna’s picture. I smiled and touch the picture gently.
“Anna, I can finally give you and your mom a justice that had been taken away from you for so long. I promised you will see Mike in jail sooner. You will always have a special place in my heart.” I kissed the picture and put it back inside the drawer where I usually kept.

After done cooking I took a shower and dress up myself. I wore a jeans and green blouse. I will be going to my office later so I decided to wear these at the moment. I went back to the kitchen and set up three plates for us includes my dad’s assistant.
We will have lunch together.
My dad will be reaching soon any minute. I looked at my watch and it’s 12:05 noontime and my apartment is just fifteen minutes away from the airport. Mr. Grey picked up them at the airport.
Soon enough the bell rang. I rushed to the door feeling so excited to see my dad. And yes, my dad was standing right in front of me smiling.
“Hello sweetheart, how are you doing?” He opened his arms to hug me.
“Hi dad.” Giving him a tight hug for I missed him that much.
“Hi Jake.” Smiling at him my dad’s assistant.
“Hello Ma’am Chloe.”
“Please come inside, you two must be hungry and I cooked your favorite food dad.”
” So sweet of you sweetheart and thank you.”
Then three of us settled our selves to eat lunch. While we are having our lunch dad asked.
“You’re staying alone here?”
“Yes dad I am alone but don’t worry Jerome is staying just next to this building. He is actually in Boston right now. Because there are some changes that I want him to do for me in my advertisement company. He supposed to meet you today but since you’re not there, I guess he’s going to see you here when he comes back. Are you staying with me here? I will be happy if you will.”
“Oh sweetheart sorry about that but I prefer not to disturb you here and besides you’ll be at work most of the time I have nothing to do here. I thought about it for few times. I think I should go back to our mansion. Our care takers are still there and your aunt Carmen is coming as well on Monday.” Dad took a bite of his food.
“That’s a great dad. I am very happy that you took this decision seriously. I visited mom’s tomb and of course next to it is mine.” I joke smiling
“Silly girl. I will visit your mom’s grave later before going back to the mansion.” I handed him the sauteed beef bowl.
“Okay daddy that’s a good idea. After our lunch we’ll talk about the reason why you’re here.” I took a bite of my food.
“Yes, because this is the right time that you have to know the truth.” He put his fork and spoon on the table and took a deep breath looking at me.
“I’m okay daddy, you don’t have to worry anymore.”
“I know sweetheart but still you can’t deny the fact that I won’t be worried after all I’m your father.” He picked up his spoon and eat again.
“Yes, dad I understood. But anyways, I arranged your car already. John is going to be your driver here. He will take you to mom’s grave and bring you back to the mansion.”
“Thank you sweetheart for taking care of it.”
“It’s my pleasure dad.” I stood up and took an ice cream in the freezer and served it to my dad and Jake.
“Thank you ma’am.” Jake said
“It’s nothing Jake. I should be thankful for being there all the time especially for coming here in Los Angeles to be with my dad.”
“It’s nothing ma’am it is part of my job.”
“I know but you’ve been working to us for ten years and you’re a good man.”
“It’s really nothing ma’am and I am happy serving you and sir.”
“But still thank you again.” I said.
When we finished our lunch Jake volunteered to clean up the table and dishes so dad and I can have a private talk in my living room.
I helped dad to sit down and I sat next to him.
I held his left hand with my two hands facing him.
“So dad tell .”
Dad paused for a moment and pressed my hands.
“Sweetheart your mom’s death wasn’t just an accident. What happened to you and your mom was planned. And you were right it was not an accident. After what had happened, I hired an investigator to investigate this matter. I found out that Moore Company has to do with it. But there is one thing I am not certain after your mom’s death when we moved to Boston Arman Moore also died.”
“What do you mean by that dad?” I asked in a confused state.
“I thought when you’re mom collaborate with Moore corporation Arman was the master mind. But I realized it wasn’t him who planned the accident but someone else. That’s the reason why I changed your name and our surname. I made sure that they didn’t know about you and where I was.” Explained dad sadly.
I was surprised at the moment and I don’t know where to begin with.
“So dad what are going to do now?” I asked him. But I didn’t tell him that it wasn’t surprised me because I am working on it. I am very close enough to find out who hit our car on that day.
“I don’t know sweetheart but I will hire an investigator again and I will hire a bodyguards for you as well.”
“Dad at the moment you don’t have to. Remember nobody knows I’m Anna. I’m still Chloe. As long as no one knows in L. A about me I’m still safe.” I assured him.
“Okay sweetheart if that’s what you want. But please be careful. But we can’t see each other that often until we will find who did it.”
“Yes dad, understood. I will come at night to see you but I guess it won’t be everyday.”
“Yeah that’s work for us. So we have to leave now as you’re going to your office. I won’t keep your time with me.” Dad said
“Okay dad thank you for coming back here in L. A, it mean a lot to me.”
My father stood up and gave me a kiss on my cheek.
“Come on Jake we have to leave now.”
“Yes , sir. Thank you ma’am for the sumptuous lunch.” Jake said
“You’re welcome Jake. It’s nothing.”
“Sweetheart I’ll have to go. I will see you tomorrow evening at the mansion.”
“Okay dad, I’ll be there tomorrow evening. I love you.” I gave him a hug.
“I love you too.”
Dad was just left and I ran in my room and changed my clothes in a red dress. I have to go to my office to finish some details of the documents and we’ll have dinner with Denyx tonight. He will pick up me later at my office.”
I locked the door of my apartment and went down where Mr. Grey’s waiting for me.
“Good afternoon Ms. Chloe.”
“Good afternoon Mr. Grey, to my office please.”
He drove the car to my office and when reached I went up to my own private room. I opened the door and get inside my office. I saw an envelope with my name written on it. I walked closer to my table and sat on my chair. I put down my bag and picked up the envelope. I tore it to see what’s inside. But then my phone rang.
“Hello!”
“Hi Ms. Chloe I put an envelope on your table that’s from the investigator.”
“Thanks Kat, I saw it.”
I put the the telephone and started to pulled out the documents inside the envelope. I saw our car’s pictures and the truck which hit us that day . The report stated that the truck belongs to the the Moore Company and the police report was different. Somebody sabotaged the accident on that day. I took a deep breath and I dialed Jerome’s number and he picked up the call.
“Jerome I was right, Moore Company has to do with it on that accident. My mom’s death was planned.”
“Wait… wait… What do you mean?”
” The detective sent me the reports of the investigation and the truck which hit our car on that day belongs to Moore Company. I knew it, they have something to do with it.” I said on inferior way
“Okay, okay… calm down. You have to calm down if you want them to pay. We need some financial documents from their company so we have another proof that they killed your mother because of her company share.”
“I have a dinner tonight with Denyx. I can’t face him knowing his family killed my mom.”
“Listen to me. You have to face him. We need access to his company and he trusted you Chloe, take it as your advantage because he trusted you.”
“I don’t know if I can pretend anymore when I have already proof against them.”
“No.. no you have to calm down because we are very close to get you and your mom a justice you deserve. You can’t compromise everything when you know you’re almost there. Do you understand?”
“Understood. I’ll meet him tonight.” I said on my calmer voice
“Good to hear that. Just please take care we don’t know what might happen.”
“I will and thank you Jerome for being there always.”
“You don’t have to say that, you know you’re my best friend and I am always here for you. I gotta go now the conference is about to start and Liza said hi. Call me when you need me.”
“I will and tell Liza thank you as well… Thank you buddy.”
“My pleasure honey-pie.”
I ended the call and looked at the evidence. I put it inside my drawer and locked it.
