"Your mum? Who was she in my life? Well, she meant nothing. Good riddance to her. You are the only one I care about now," Andrew felt as if a sharp knife was dived into his heart.His jaw dropped, as tears clouded his eyes. His throat was dry as he closed his eyes, inhaling deeply.' Now is not the time to cry,' he told himself as he met his stepdad's gaze again.
"You know your mum was a Crime detective, one that doesn't mind her own business. She was the reason for causing deep pain for me. She killed my elder brother, the only family I had. He killed him," he enunciated the last part as he let out-breath from his mouth as he poured another cup of the wine."My elder brother was one of those gangs that have left the part of the UK agitated slightly.

Tears only slipped down his face as he let go.He slumped on the ground as he cried profusely. ' This is not happening', he thought......Kevin almost jumped out of the bed as he realized he just had a dream.

He felt lost and was at the point of giving up, but he couldn't. He still has to find a way to help his father out of prison. He still believed his supposed mum was the one behind the scene."Mrs. Arianna, you will pay for this," he swore as he stared back at the letter.Dear Kevin,I know you will be the one to get this letter since it has always been your daily routine to come to my room every morning.
