I saw my mom who kept walking around the mansion, but she seemed angry with me, she didn't even talk to me.

But my mom keeps walking to my room, and she suddenly slaps me.

“What are you doing here? You think I don't know what you're up to?”

“W-what, do you mean? I don't even understand what you're talking about.”

“So you want to snatch my boyfriend and make him give all his attention to you? You are such a hypocrite and cunning!”

“I don't understand what you're talking about, please let me go!” I felt so sick because my mom kept pulling my hair and slapping me.

“Why do you still dare to pretend? I know you begged my boyfriend to give it all to you, I will get rid of you! I should never know you again!”

“Mom, I didn't do anything, I swear, please let me go, it hurts so much!” I held my mother's hand, which kept pulling my hair.

“Hey, stop that, Sarah!”

Rafael immediately pulled my mom, who kept attacking me.

I'm sobbing uncontrollably because I felt pain in my head and face after my mom attacked me.

“Why are you doing this to me? You think I don't know, what's the relationship you guys had? Until you give anything to her?”

“If you dare to touch her! I will cancel our plans!”

“No, I'm so sorry, please don't do that to me.” My mom kept begging and hugging Raphael.

Raphael nodded his head, then he immediately left, and my mom kept following him and beg forgiveness to him.

It was my first day at Raphael's mansion, and I was trying to fall asleep and forget everything that had happened.

“Am I going to continue to live in this place? If that's the case, then how about with my further education? Can I continue to live with this situation? While my mom hates me.”

I kept crying all night long, I couldn't sleep, and I was in so much pain.

Until I heard the screams of Raphael's assistants from the outside of my room.

I immediately walked out of the room and tried to find out about everything that had happened.

“What's going on here?”

I ran to see the crowd and rushed over to them.

My heart shattered into a million pieces after knowing all that had happened.

I saw my mom lying on her back in a lifeless state, she had passed away in a strange and terrible position and had scratch marks on her body.

“How could this happen?” I was so sad that I couldn't stand up and almost lost consciousness.

“Alice, I'm so sorry for the all things that happened to you.”

“I miss my mom, even though all the things that have happened before have made me sad and heartbroken, Sarah is still my mom who gave birth to me in this world.”

“Yes, that's precisely the right thing, but I will always be there for you, Alice.”

Raphael hugged me tightly, and I kept crying in his arms.

I can't stop thinking about my mother and this is all happening so fast to me, I still can't accept that my mother will leave me forever, this is so weird.

I will always love her no matter what, even if she didn't claim I exist and live as her daughter, but I will always love her and do my best to make she will forgive me and accept me as her daughter.

Then Raphael and I and some people took care of my mother's funeral.

I saw many crowds that kept coming, but their way was blocked because of Raphael's mansion, which was safe and heavily guarded by security guards.

I immediately saw a TV broadcast that was about my mother's death, and it was very lively and became the talk of the media at the moment.

As soon as I arrived at Raphael's mansion, I immediately packed all my things, so I could get out of his mansion immediately.

“Where do you want to go?”

I was immediately shocked when I heard Raphael's voice, which immediately destroyed my concentration to leave his place.

“I will go from here, everything has been meaningless since my mom's death.”

“You can't leave here, you're also alone out there, I want you to stay here, and I will help you and give you anything you need.”

“I can't do it, it's all over, this place just reminds me of my mother and I still can't let it go.”

“You still have to stay in this place, it's very dangerous outside and numerous reporters are looking for you.”

“Okay, I'll stay here, until it all settles down.”

“That's a good decision.”

“I will prepare everything for you and everything you need is in this place, you can call the assistants when I am busy and not there for you.”

“Thank you so much, Raphael.”

At night, I still can't sleep, like thinking about many things and my new life at Raphael's place.

In the morning, I immediately went to a beautiful garden in this mansion to relax my mind.

But I see Raphael is scolding an old man who looks very shaking, the old man seems to be a senior servant in his mansion, and he looks so afraid of him.

Then I immediately ran to my room after seeing everything that had happened.

And after minutes I see that old man coming to me.

“Good morning, Miss Alice, here is tea and your favorite breakfast.”

“Thank you so much, sir.”

“Just call me Gregory, I'm the senior servant here.”

I nod my head and start to eat, but Gregory still staring at me.

“Miss Alice, I want you to be always careful with Mr. Raphael because he was a very dangerous person.”

“What do you mean?”

“He was a very dangerous person, and he can do anything he wants, even end someone's life, he had ended some people's lives here, that's like the real entertainment for him, he was so mysterious, dangerous, and very unpredictable person.”

“Y-you means, he was the murderer too?”

“Yes, I want you to be always careful and kept locking your bedroom because that will be so dangerous, I will free my time to help you escape from here.”

“Thank you so much, Gregory.”

“Yes you are welcome, I'll attempt to think about the plans and time for you, don't worry, and always be careful.”
