My mother always taught me one lesson, in times of doubt follow my heart. When she told me I thought it was just some corny shit she was making up but, in reality, that thought stuck by me and it helped me. 

     Since I was born it had always just been my mother and me, my father was non-existent and any relatives stayed well away from my mother. She told me the reason for that was because they had a bad relationship but, I knew it was something much deeper, darker and scarier. My mother was loving, caring however, she had days where her moods were more than terrifying. She would try to hide it from me but, I could sense the tension. It would emit from her like a dark aura and I would be able to sense it the minute she walked into the dining area. I wasn't exactly poor, therefore we would get the occasional relative who would want to borrow money but my mother would give them the cold shoulder. Not even a visit she would permit. As soon as she saw them at the front gate she would immediately tell the guards to send them away. I was homeschooled because my mother feared a kidnapping, I was confused at the time but I went with it. If my mother didn't tell me something in good time everything would be revealed. I was brought up to be cold and threatening, fearful and powerful. My mother called me, "A force to be reckoned with." Every time she said that to me I would try to hide it but, a smile would creep up. I loved my mother so much, seeing her proud of me was my happiest moments. 

     Until 2013, I was age 15 when she passed away, it was an assassination, and the people who assassinated my mother was clear. My mother had predicted this, she had her will done up and left all her assets to me because she knew that her family would be after her money. However, to her family's dismay, everything was given to me. No one except the people working at my home came to my mother's funeral. No one cared and that thought angered me the most. I didn't know what to do, my chest was hollow because my heart had been ripped out. I had lost everything, my mother who was also my best friend, my mentor, my hope and my light. It was all gone within a second. 

A letter was given to me by my butler whose eyes were puffy from crying, he had been with my mother since the early days, he had raised her and he was like a father to me. He helped my mother raise me and he played and taught me lessons. I was glad that I hadn't lost him as well. 

My dear daughter...

                             If you're reading this then the worst has happened, I wish that you never have to read this but it is inevitable that I was going to die anyway. If it's not from an accident or assassination it was going to be from my disease. I never told you because I didn't want you to worry and be the one looking after me and not be me looking after you. I love you so much and I am so incredibly proud of you, the days that I have spent looking after you have been my most joyous occasions. I know you are trying to figure out everything and your mind is a blur majority of the answers you are seeking are in this letter so don't fret I will explain everything. But firstly, I need to let you know I love you so so so much and if there was a day I could go back in time and live a normal life with you I would do anything for that. I don't want you to have to experience what I did so I spent days and nights in my office trying to pull you out of it (which I wish I could go back and spend the time with you more). Out of what? You may wonder...out of the hideous debt your father left behind. I may have money but money isn't what your father loaned... it was bodies. I have made many many enemies through this and I know because of me you're going to get hurt. I don't want that therefore I am trying everything in my power to save you from it. by the time you read this, I have no idea if I have accomplished anything.

    Your father is a very bad bad man, he was my biggest regret but through him, I have gotten the most precious thing in my life and for that I am grateful. your father was the first and last man I have and will ever fall in love with because despite his many many flaws that I chose to ignore he was my prince charming. It may be hard to read through this but you know your mother she is a corny bitch with many corny words to say so what do you expect. Anyways your father had dealt with many dodgy businesses before he met me (and he continued soon after), the one business that led us into massive debt (also about the same time he left) involved a very scary man called Arthur Jillins, he is the leader of the largest mafia group in the country your father had unfinished business with him and instead of dealing with it, he ran away like a prissy little wuss. Jillins wanted bodies of may people who are said to be "bad" and your father couldn't go through with it so he left it for me to deal with. 

    I made you stay at home 24/7 only because if you were exposed to the outside world you would be in imminent danger and I couldn't risk that. If anything were to happen to my precious baby doll I would lose it completely and go with you, that is why no matter what even if you look up to me  DO NOT become me. become better than me and strive for greater success. DO NOT find a shitty man like your father, you are a strong independent young lady strive to live and work for yourself. The true reason for such bad connections to my side of the family is because they know about your father, they wanted me to stay away from him and tried their best to make him stay away from me, your grandmother is also a very terrifying woman and through her, I had also become independent. She threatened to disown me and abandoned me if I chose your father because she would not have such a shameful person as your father in our family. I never forgot the day she and the whole family fave me the cold shoulder. Even your aunt, my sister whom I was very close with gave me the cold shoulder. I couldn't forgive them, I hope that you can have a better relationship with them. Through these tough years, I have discovered that you need help to be independent, you need to strive by getting help from others. You have the people who help you build a platform for you in which when you have a sturdy platform then can you help others. That is my one and most important rule for you. I know you have much more questions which you will have to figure out yourself.

Remember you are my most prized possession, no matter what anyone says you are my greatest hope and you are also my greatest light. you lighted my pathway in times of sadness and darkness, seeing you improving made me feel proud to have a daughter like you. Don't feel resentment towards your father, despite the shittyness he gave me the one thing no one else could give me...he gave me you. I am going to give you one last and final lesson and that is, to NEVER strive off from vengeance.

Love from,

 your mother who loves you deeply from the bottom of her heart and forever shall she love you.
