CHAPTER 1: SUMMERTIME 2023

Elowen’s POV

Today is my mom’s 10th Death Anniversary. It’s been 10 years since I heard that horrifying news about my mom’s car accident. I still can’t accept that her death is an accident. I hate this season, It feels like it happened yesterday. My mom’s name is Vivienne Quinn Ruiz-Garcia, and my dad is Rafe Thorn Garcia. Me, Auntie Selene and Grandpa visited my mom’s grave. My dad becomes an Alcohol addict after my mom’s death. He never once visit my mom’s grave. I wonder why. My auntie Selene is the one who’s been taking care of me since my mom passed away. My Grandpa owns a fashion company called Velora Collection, It was named after my Grandma who passed away. My grandpa is the Chairman of his company and my mom is a former CEO.

When my mom was still alive, their company was the no.1 successful company in the world. My mom was a great Businesswoman and a lovable wife/mom. We were once a happy family. My dad is a bartender, of course, they met at the bar. I love how they love each other. My mom has no.1 competitor in that business, which is, Robert Lee a 45-year-old businessman, he’s older than my mom. Robert is also my no.1 prime suspect in my mom's “ACCIDENT”  because after my mom's death, his company became the no.1 fashion business in the world. Isn't it surprising that his company suddenly became no.1 after my mom passed away? However, the case was closed because the police said that “it was a car accident.”

After we visited my mom’s grave\, I decided to go to where my mom and I used to go\, which is a hotel near the ocean called Solace Bay Hotel-Resort. I went to the bar station which is on 3rd floor of the hotel\, where you can overlook the sea and the sunset. That place is so fascinating\, calming\, and refreshing. I ordered a wine called Shiraz\, my mom’s favorite wine. When I got a little tipsy\, I went down to sit and drink at our favorite spot which is the sand. We always sat here after we got dinner\, looking at the sky and feeling the breeze of the air.***** end of pov*****

*sobs* “Mom\, I miss you so much.” Elowen said while tearing up\, she drank the wine until no drops left.

Suddenly, a man saw her and walked towards her, said “Are you okay miss?” he tapped her shoulder and the man’s face seemed surprised at what he saw.

Elowen is drunk. She looked grimace at the man and said in her drunk voice “What are you doing? A- Are you a pervert? Hmmm???”

The man chuckles and says in his calm and soft voice “You looked drunk. Maybe it’s for you to stop drinking that wine”

Elowen replies irritated “What do you mean? Don’t you see? I want to be alone and I already finished this bottle of wine.”

The man laughs at her softly.

Elowen’s said “What are you laughing at? Are you a pervert?”

The man chuckles and replies “Of course not. Anyway, what are you doing here? Sitting alone?”

Elowen got up feeling dizzy and said “It’s none of your business.” She walked away and suddenly she passed out before she fell to the ground, the man caught him.

It’s morning and Elowen gets up from the hotel bed feels a headache and is shocked to see that her blouse is missing and that she’s only wearing her undertop. She can’t remember what happened last night. She only remembers that a man approached her.

She got up and looked first if the man was still there when she didn’t see the man, she felt relief. Elowen said with a relieved face “It’s such a relief, he’s not here” then, she ran towards the bathroom with a happy face, then she faced the mirror and tried hard to remember about last night but nothing came to her mind. She suddenly looked at her back and saw her blouse hanging.

Then unexpectedly a man came out of the bathtub with his hot-half naked body.
