Chapter One
Selfish Lies
I just got home from school and I went straight to my office. I’m still in college, but being the son and supposedly the heir of a huge company, I’m expected to be already starting to familiarize myself with the work.
I sat behind my desk and stared at the picture frame sitting at the corner.
Three teenagers. One girl & two boys, happily smiling with their arms wrapped around each other’s shoulders.
I continually stared at the photo for minutes before getting on my work. But before I even get started, I suddenly got a phone call from the private investigator that I hired.
“I found her” he said.
And with just that simple statement, I froze and my eyes slowly went back to the same photo sitting at the right corner of my desk.
I quickly rushed to my car and drove on full speed to the airport. If I could, I probably would’ve just driven there.
Well I didn’t really care, as long as I get there.
As long as I’d finally see her.

I sat back and tried to calm down my oh-so-excited self while waiting for the plane to take off. However, with all the excitement, worries and the rush I’m feeling I couldn’t really just sit down and relax. My brain just can’t work properly. A lot of things, or more like questions, are currently running through my mind.
How is she? Is she alright? What happened? Why is she there? Why didn’t she contact us? Did something happen?
Had she changed? What should I tell her when I see her? How will she react when she sees me? Does she still know me? Does she still…
My mind stopped asking those questions when I suddenly remembered and the picture of the three of us flashed in my mind. I stared at my phone that I’ve been holding since I got on the plane…
Am I being selfish?
