Miles changed his clothes and left the house immediately.
After driving for minutes, he finally got to Ace’s mansion.BHe came down from the car and headed inside.
A maid rushed to him immediately he stepped into the living room. She looked shocked.
You are here sir, she mumbled.
Where’s he?, Miles asked.
Urhm well he isn’t at home right now, she replied. She looked away to avoid his eyes.
To where?, Miles asked.
Urhm to……to….he went to……well I don’t know, he didn’t tell us, she stuttered. Miles scoffed and walked past her.
Sir wait!!!! Hold on!!!!, she screamed.
He ignored her and made his way upstairs.
He got to Ace’s door and kicked it open.
What the f-__-k bro!!!, Ace shrieked and jumped up immediately from the bed. Miles walked to him and grabbed his shirt.
For how long are you going to avoid me huh!!, he yelled.
Miles wait calm down, Ace mumbled.
You ran away last time without giving me any explanation and since then you have been avoiding my calls. Now you even asked your maids to lie to me, Miles snapped.
Wait remove your hands from my shirt so we can talk. Let’s talk okay, Ace begged. Miles released his grip on his shirt and pushed him away violently.
He almost fell but was lucky to regain his stamina immediately.
You told me Jewel was alive right?, Miles asked
Why are you suddenly asking about Jewel?, Ace asked in return.
Because you said she is alive!!, Miles snapped
I meant she might be alive. Her body wasn’t found right?, Ace replied
Where is she?, Miles asked ignoring his statement.
Listen Miles, that’s only my thinking. How would I know if she’s alive, Ace scoffed.
Do you take me for a fool!!!!, Miles snapped.
Miles!, Ace called
You always told me to forget her and then you of all people suddenly say that she’s alive.
Then you ran away after that. Not only that you also kept avoiding my calls and you said it’s just your thinking!!, Miles snarled.
Listen I……
You know what I’ve been through for the past nine years. You know everything, you know my greatest regret and wish!!!!!, Miles yelled.
Fine!! Fine!!!. Jewel is alive that’s only what I know. I don’t know where she is or anything else. I only know that Jewel is alive, Ace snapped.
How did you know that?, Miles asked.
Happy told me, Ace replied.
Happy?? What does she have to do with Jewel?, Miles asked.
Happy is Nara, Ace mumbled.
What Nara? Wait your Nara?, Miles gasped. Ace rolled his eyes.
How’s that possible?, Miles asked.

° Next morning °
Chelsea laid on the bed humming a song. She asked Rachel and Happy to come later as she was going to be discharged in the evening.
So she was the only one in the room.
She couldn’t explain how she felt that moment but she knew she was more than happy.
She talked to Dami all night. She couldn’t believe she opened up to her. Chelsea felt attached like they have been friends for years.
She suddenly remembered something and sat up. She raised her pillow and brought out the envelope.
She had thought of tearing it but after her discussion with Dami, she had a second thought.
She opened the envelope and brought out the letter.
Dear beloved 😍😍
Your coward of a dad is writing this letter to you. I hope you can read it.
What a horrible beginning, she muttered.
I know you h@ťě me so much, you probably wouldn’t want to see me but baby please give me a chance to make things right.
I dare not ask for your forgiveness now, that will be selfish of me. I will stay by your side and try to make it up to you till you accept me.

Your dad.
Tears filled Chelsea’s eyes.
Why am I crying, she asked herself. She wiped her tears but it wouldn’t stop flowing.
Maybe she was crying because she missed her dad so much, she longed for him for years and now he’s back. But then……….
At that moment, the door opened. Chelsea dropped the letter under her pillow and stood up.
Dad??, she gasped.
Fernando walked to her and hugged her immediately.
Chelsea felt really happy that moment but then she remembered all she went through and pushed him away.
What are you doing?, she snapped.
I know you are mad right now. You have every right to treat me like trash. I am really sorry, he said. Chelsea scoffed and turned away.
Then why did you leave?, she asked coldly.
Back then, your mum and I were already having issues. We were already processing our divorce before that accident happened.
Few weeks after the accident, Everything was really and we were legally divorced.
But your mum was not herself that period. I was afraid she would do something stupid if left alone so I left her with you, Fernando replied.
Lies all lies!!!!, Chelsea screamed.
Chelsea, he called.
Do you know what I went through in the hands of that woman!!, she screamed.
What do you mean?, he asked.
She always blamed me for everything, she treated like garbage and even till now she still treats me like that.
To her Jewel is only human child she has and I am a monster that broke her family. Do you even know what I went through!!!!, Chelsea screamed.
I didn’t know that, I swear, Fernando said.
And why didn’t you come to visit or check on me???? Do you know how many times I went to your company???. Didn’t you see my emails???? I searched for you tirelessly!!!, Chelsea screamed.
Fernando fell to his knees in tears.
Yeah back then I was also not okay. Even though it’s wrong, I blamed you too. I blamed you and myself.
But I didn’t h@ťě you Chelsea, I really didn’t. When I left I was severely depressed, I was dejected!!. But there was no day I didn’t think of you.
I thought of you every single day, I wanted to come back long before now but I was ashamed. I was scared of facing you.
I admit I am a bad father but I will try to make it up to you, I promise.
I promise to be by your side till you accept me again. I have no excuses for what I did, he sobbed. Chelsea scoffed.
You expect me to feel happy hearing that?? Do you expect me to feel happy hearing that!!, Are you supposed to abandon me in the first place!!!!!, Chelsea screamed. Fernando stood up and held her hands.
Let go!!, she screamed.
I am sorry, I won’t stop apologizing till you are ready to accept me, he said.
I h@ťě you!!! I h@ťě you!!! I really h@ťě you!!!!, she cried. He pulled her into a hug immediately.
Chelsea I am really sorry, It’s all my fault. I promise to make it up to you and also…I will find Jewel by all means, he said.
She pulled away and looked at him.
Jewel?, she asked.
Yes I……
Is that why you came back?, she asked.
Look Chelsea that’s………
Why is it always her?? Am I not your daughter???. Why do you and mum always choose her over me!!!, Chelsea screamed.
He tried hugging her but she pushed him away.
Just get out!!! Get out, Chelsea yelled at him.
Chelsea calm down and listen to me, Fernando said.
Why should I???, she screamed.
Your mum told me that Jewel is alive, he said.
What?????
I came back for you. I wanted to make it up to you, you are the reason I came back. But then your mum said Jewel is alive.
She sounded resolute.
If Jewel is really alive then I have to find her no matter what, Fernando said.
Jewel is alive??
But how didn’t she….
Her body wasn’t found, Fernando said cutting her off.
Chelsea suddenly remembered something.
Wait, don’t tell me it’s what I am thinking, she mumbled.
