An SUV parked into the Vin's mansion,
"Father" Dylan greeted.
Delvin "You are late".
Dylan" I don't see you as someone who cares about time, tell me?
Delvin " I just found out about the mv8".
Dylan "Spill"
Delvin "it's a chip containing all the MFT agents in Tondo,are you intending on destroying it?
Dylan, "Now that I know what it is, No.
Get some rest old man, I had a long day".
Leaving Delvin behind in the living room was the first thing that shocked Delvin, as a boy he had always waited for his elders to finish their conversation and leave last, Delvin couldn't help but feel proud of the tyrant his son was turning into.
In a dark shady room, Dylan smokes a cigarette as he watches the garden through the window, he couldn't help but imagine Anabel standing outside but when he looked again she wasn't there.
"How long does this have to go on" he thought to himself. Having smoked enough he laid on his bed and slept.
Walking down the streets of Brooke's, Anabel hums a song, she had no longer been afraid of the dark ever since her Father's death.
She had imagined possible case scenarios on how she would get revenge on her father's murderer and even gotten movies similar to it.
Her only purpose in life was finding that person but the world seems to be drawing her back, she never asked why her parents were killed? she only knew they were killed and that was enough.
Arriving at the house, she took a cold shower and sat in front of the mirror.
If there was one person she would always talk to, that was herself in front of the mirror.
"Hey Anabel, she smiled,
sometimes I think I am too weak to face dad's murderer, I do wonder if I would survive the casualties if my plans were to go wrong", she picked up a dryer and began drying her hair " but either way I know I died trying, I am never going to give up".
She suddenly stopped and looked at the calendar, seeing a marking on it, she couldn't help but feel sad, the day everything was taken away from her turned out to be the next day.
The bright light shone on Anabel's face waking her up, she picked up her watch on the desk to check the time.
Dressed up in a black suit, she stood in front of her desk and carried a photo frame, "happy remembrance day Dad".
The tears rolling from her eyes contained a lot of pain.
At the Vin's, John walked in to see a bright and happy Alyssa,
"Good morning Alyssa, you look good and happy today" he said.
Alyssa, " good morning sir and Thank you.
He smiled at her and walked away but didn't seem to notice that her mood had brightened up.
Anabel walked in with a moody face ignoring Alyssa greeting,
"Good morning anabel" Alyssa couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her, this scene didn't go unnoticed by Dylan who happen to step in at the same time, he noticed Anabel's moody face but what he didn't know was that he also became worried.
In his office, Dylan couldn't help but feel sad, he picked up his phone and called John " Get me Anabel".
Minutes later a knock was heard on the door,
"come in"
"Good morning sir" Anabel greeted.
"morning" he replied.
"you called for me? she asked.
"come, sit, I need you to read something for me" he said.
"okay sir", she took a sit as Dylan handed over a book to her.
He kept on watching her as she had completely four pages, he was so intrigued by her that he didn't realise that she had noticed him.
"Is there any problem? she asked.
"Uhhm, no" he replied completely snapping back to his senses.
Anabel,"Can I have your permission sir?
Dylan, "To do what?
Anabel, " I need to be somewhere right now, it's urgent.
Dylan."It's okay, you may leave.
She stood up and walked away, but for Dylan, he felt like the light had left him, leaving him in darkness, he felt lonely.
At a cozy garden, a tombstone engraved " In Memory of Frank Leopard", Anabel sat down with a flower in her hand.
" Hi Dad, it's anabel, I'm doing fine incase you are wondering, you know sometimes I wish you were here but I know that you are watching over me.
I had promised to avenge you and I will do just that.
I wonder how you are fairing, I wish I could just get a glimpse of you.
I know I am blabbering, I don't have anyone else".
A drop of tear rolled down her eyes as she wiped it off, sitting down for hours, she kept on talking to her father tomb.
At six, the breeze in Rome had become colder make Anabel shiver, she dropped the flower, blew her father's tombstone a kiss and finally walked out.
A black SUV was parked outside the cemetery gate, immediately she stepped out, Dylan winded down his window.
Seeing him, she walked up to him,
"Did you follow me? she asked.
"This girl doesn't have any manners' he thought to himself.
"And so" he replied, she scoffed and start walking away, Dylan let her reach a certain point before blocking her path with his car,
"Are you crazy? she yelled.
"Ofcourse not" he replied as he came out of the car, "walk with me" he requested as he started moving, she followed slowly behind him.
"I said walk with me not follow me" Dylan stopped and waited for her to reach his side before he started walking again.
"I don't know what you want from me... " shhhhh" she was interrupted by Dylan.
" Quietly walk with me" he said.
After Anabel had left the office, he was feeling restless and decided to follow her to calm his nerves, once he saw her come out, his muscles suddenly relaxed, how could this girl make him feel this way.
He had never looked at any girl twice no matter how beautiful she was, but once he saw her in his office, he already wanted her around.
He suddenly slowed his pace to let her walk forward when a gust of wind blew her hair giving her the most angelic pose as she turned her head towards him " Mr Dylan, walk with me not follow me", hearing her, he smiled a bit and they continued walking.
