Love found me

Zara's POV

“ Kyle”... I mumbled,my voice cracking from crying too long.

The sound of the waters,like that of a rushing wind, starring at the sunset which was beautiful to behold.

My hazel eyes welled up with tears as I started at the sea, saying goodbye to him was way harder than I had imagined.

“Kyle, why did you have to leave me so soon”I mumbled under my breath. I had always blamed myself for being responsible for his death,if only he hadn't jumped into the water to save me,he might have been alive today.

I was carried away and I had almost forgotten I wasn't alone here.

“Zara, we have to be on our way now,else we would arrive at Yaben late, we have been here for hours already” Sophia said.

“I won't be long” I replied,my voice just barely above a whisper.

“ I will be waiting in the car “she said as she walked away.

Kyle was my elder brother,and the oldest of my parents,he had died a long time ago,while trying to save me from drowning, everything was just still clear in my memory,like it happened yesterday.

It has been fifteen years already,and to honor his death,I come to the same place every year,to cry my eyes out.

“ Are you sure you are fine?”Sophia asked bringing me back to reality.

“ You do this every year, always coming to this same place to cry your eyes out, don't you think it's time to let go of the past and move on with your life, besides it isn't your fault,you were way younger then” she said.

“ I am fine,” I replied forcing a smile.

I held my self responsible for his death,if only we hadn't come to the beach on vacation,if only I hadn't gotten into the water..I thought as we drove off.

Sophia was my personal assistant she was always opened to me and that was why I liked her, and took her as my sister.

As happy as I may sound,I still always shivered in fear, thinking of how to face my mother, ever since the death of my brother,she hasn't forgiven me she believed I killed my brother,her eldest son,she has the hatred that I was responsible for the death of her child.

I had always been the odd one out, after my brother passed away,I was bullied constantly in high school for causing my brothers death.

Jasper was my younger brother,whom I loved so much but he was scared of coming close to me,my mum also made it obvious that she loves him more than she loves me,as if that wasn't enough,she wants to make him the next successor of my grandfather's company.

Jaspher wasn't a smart kid,he was constantly being bullied when we were in high school,over the years he had turn into a tall, fair complexioned,young man with a skinny body ,and a blue eyes,round face which was complimented with a small reddish lips, he had a body of a model,and he always made sure he has a clean shave.

“Zara” Sophia's voice brought my attention back to the present.

“Oh-um-” I stuttered, unable to find my words.

“We are here” she said.

It was already dark,I had no clue I was lost in thought for that long.

I came down quietly from the car.

“Goodnight Zara” Sophia said.

I watched as the car zoomed off until I could see it no more.

Looking at the Mansion,my nervousness picked as I walked closer, different thoughts traveled through my mind,I kept wondering how long I was going to continuing living this way.

Quickly composing myself,I walked quietly into the mansion,only to be greeted by my mother's voice.

“ Well,well,look who decided to grace us with her presence” my mother said,her eyes locking onto mine making me feel so uneasy.

“ I see you have gotten quite busier that we don't get to see u often” my dad said standing next to my mum.

I stood there uncomfortably and it felt like I was naked before them.

Jasper who had been there with them observing quickly said..

“ Let her be mum, she's obviously tired” ..

I clenched my fists and walked away,determined not to let them see the fear in my eyes.

Locking myself in my room,I could hear the whispers and how they laughed amongst themselves.

“ I guess this isn't going to end in a long time” I said to myself. Climbing unto my bed which was soft, caressing my skin, i decided to cry myself to sleep.

I was awakened in the early hours of the morning by my grandfather's voice which of course was followed by a loud knock banging on my door.

“Get up Zara, it's daybreak” my grandfather said.

Half awake and half asleep,I checked my time and it was just six in the morning.

“ What kind of a man is this” I mumbled under my breathe “ doesn't he sleep at all? I asked my self.

Tossing to and fro on my King sized mattress, I lazily got up from the bed, standing in front of my giant mirror,I guess I must have cried a lot because my eyes was obviously swollen, smiling to myself I said “it's another day to be strong Zara”. I got into the shower to take my bath…

With the water touching and running down my bare skin, I felt relieved, making me forget my worries temporarily. No

You are going to be fine, I reassured myself…

Coming out of the shower,with water dripping off my skin, I reached for my pink towel and tied it firmly round my chest,I wasn't the busty type of lady so it was easier for me to tie my towel, and after applying my skin care, I searched for what to wear, after going through few of my clothes, I decided to put on a light blue short gown, also remembering to apply my makeup.

Still sitting in front of my dressing mirror…

“ I need to visit the salon soon,” I muttered to myself while packing my favorite ponytail.

Standing from the giant glass I headed to look for what to wear from my shoe rack and my eye caught the red heels I had gotten as a limited edition the previous month,it was quite an expensive one.

Putting the shoe on, it fitted perfectly complimenting my gown,I spinned and smiled, feeling something was missing in my outfit,I remembered I hadn't looked for a bag, looking through various designer bags that I had,I finally reached for my favorite Dior bag.

Seeing I was ready, I opened the door and got out of the room, walking quietly. I was stopped by my grandfather's voice.
