Clive’s P.O.V
He went back downstairs after half hour thinking. He was thinking how it got to this. He didn’t know why she wouldn’t want to come home. He wanted to go see her over at America but she would always refuse to see him. She would have an excuse all the time. He remembered once he wanted to surprise her on his visit and she got angry for not making an arrangement. That was their first argument. He was close to shouting at her.
******************************Flash back******************************
He was waiting for her at the apartment he got her. He was waiting from morning. He was going to leave in the evening when someone came. It wasn’t Charlene. It was a lady. She walked up to the door and notice him standing beside it.
‘May I help you?’ the lady asked. She was frightened he guessed by her tone.
‘I’m looking for my daughter,’ he said. ‘Charlene Choi.’
‘I don’t know who you talking about,’ she said it in a rush. He heard the urgency in her voice that she doesn’t want to be here.
‘This it her apartment,’ he pointed to the door that she was standing in front of.
‘I’m sorry but this is my apartment.’
‘Are you sure?’
The lady nodded and quickly fiddled with the key. She opened the door and rushed in closing the door behind her. Clive called Charlene’s mobile phone.
‘Hello.’
‘Hello. Charlene?’
‘Yes.’
‘It’s, your father speaking. Where are you?’
‘I’m at home,’ came the cheery response.
‘Home? Which home? I’m outside your house Charlene,’ he got irritated. There was silent in the other side of the phone. ‘Where is your home,’ Clive said curiously. He got the feeling that it was definitely not here.
‘Urm… what are you doing here?’ she said when he got to her apartment. He was standing outside an old building in the lower side of the town. Clive was clenching his fist. He wanted an explanation in why she was doing here instead of the place he bought for her.
‘What am I doing here? Can’t I see my daughter when I want?’ he said half-mocking and half angry. Before she could say anything he carried on. ‘So enlighten me. What’s your explanation for staying here and not at the apartment I gave you?’
He saw that she was fuming. He didn’t care. She was fuming? What can she possibly angry about? He was fuming as well. What she has been doing he wanted to know. She went inside her small apartment while he followed in suit.
‘What my explanation is?’ she said stopping in her tracks just by the TV. He stood by the couch. It was the only couch there. He did a quick look around. There was a single bed at the other corner. There was a wardrobe and a small desktop. It was a small one-bedroom apartment. ‘I’ll tell you,’ her both hands were supporting her hips. ‘I can’t afford it.’
‘Can’t afford it?’ he choked out. He could not believe this.
‘I want my own place,’ she shouted. ‘The one that I can afford on my own! I want to be independent on my own two feet.’
‘You know that what is mine is yours!’ he said suppressing himself from shouting back. He never shouted at his daughter and he definitely won’t shout today. ‘You’ll inherit half of my share!’
‘I don’t want it!’
‘Tough!’ was the only thing he said before turning and leaving the apartment.
**************************End Of Flash Back***************************
Clive got back to reality. He had made up with her later that day. He went back to apologise and she apologised back. He went in the living room where everyone was. The entire guest had gone to the hotel. He was paying for the expense of the guest stay.
‘How can she be so mean?’ he overheard Cecilia say when he got there.
‘Leave it!’ Chase said firmly.
‘What’s going on?’ Clive asked. He knew they were talking about Charlene.
‘It’s nothing,’ Clark rushed in.
‘Nothing?’ he mocked. He raised an eyebrow. ‘I perfectly know what you guys are talking about and if I hear anything, and I mean anything, bad about Charlene it will not be good. Do I make myself clear?’ he threatened. When he never heard any reply he asked again raising his voice a little. ‘Do I make myself clear?’
He heard them muttering ‘yes’. When he was satisfied he went to the study.
Charlene’s P.O.V
She was lying down on the bed Edison left her in. he tucked her in. She kept remembering the words Edison had said before he left her side. She had pretended to be a sleep and assumed she was. The words were driving her crazy. She didn’t know what it meant.
******************************Flash back******************************
‘I’m sorry. But it can never be,’ she heard Edison whisper in her ear.
***************************End of Flash Back***************************
What can never be? She thought. Aaaggghh! This was driving me nuts.
Edison’s P.O.V
He was outside her room. He had come upstairs few minutes after Nicholas left. He had been cold towards Nicholas. He does want something between Charlene but… He stared at the door. Thinking. He was deep in his thought and didn’t realise that the door swung open. He realised when someone bumped in to him face to face.
‘Ow!’ he heard her voice. He was back to reality. He saw Charlene standing there holding her nose.
‘Sorry,’ was all he could manage. He left her side. He didn’t want to talk to her now. He wasn’t ready. He needed time. He heard her calling his name. With out turning he waved with one hand and walked in his room closing the door behind.
'Charlene,' he whispered.
