Richard reached for his cell phone on a small table. A message came in from Justin. The man sent a file.
"What is this." Richard muttered, he was immediately surprised by what he had read at a glance. The corner of her eyes looked at Alicia who was still sleeping.
Before reading the scan file, Richard glanced at the wall clock that showed at 10 p.m.
"I'll wake you in an hour." Richard told Alicia. He knew the woman had not heard him, but it felt warm to remember the woman beside him. Richard became eager every night and every morning he found Alicia, just asleep quietly, not anything else. He always felt there was less and empty if he did not find this woman near him.
Richard leaned his body against the headboard, looking for a comfortable position for his back. He should focus on what happened with Alicia first.
'Alicia gets a trophy and intends to help Sophia in the store, but when she changes clothes at home, she finds Marten panicking and tells him to hide in the room. Before long came some men who beat up Marten, feeling unbearable Alicia came out and helped Marten to escape the torture of the men.'
Richard grimacing. How could a little girl who was only 15 years old have such courage. Even his power could not fight 1 adult man, let alone this there were 3 people.
"I didn't choose you wrong." Richard muttered, now his hand rubbed Alicia's forehead gently.
"Mama, I got the trophy." Shouted a girl with a cheerful smile on her face. He ran with a cup in his hand.
"Oh Alicia, you're a smart kid." Sophia hugged Alicia's body warmly, she stroked Alicia's head very gently.
"Where can I order?" A man's question made Sophia let go of her embrace of Alicia.
"I'm going to your table sir." Answer Sophia friendly. After the man left, Sophia cupped Alicia's face with both hands.
"Let's save this cup at home, change your clothes and help mama here yes, it's lunchtime, tonight we'll celebrate your victory." Alicia nodded with vigor, her smile never fading. Their shop began to attract some guests.
"I'll be back soon ma." Said Alicia, the girl ran out of the store, she couldn't wait to tell Daddy.
Arriving at home very quiet, Alicia keeps the new trophy she got near the television. He changed his clothes with clothes that you just bought, right, this clothes is quite beautiful.
"Looks like Daddy's coming home tonight." Alicia said slowly. He smiled in front of the glass. Her long hair is unraveling beautifully, this afternoon she will also meet the senior of her school, the man who has captivated Alicia for the first time.
"Am I beautiful?" Alicia muttered embarrassedly, like a teenager who was in love, and this was the first time they would eat together at Alicia's shop.
"Mama will definitely tease me." Again Alicia blushed to herself with her words.
'Shelf'
The sound of the door opening quickly made Alicia frown. He walked over, peering through the door of his room. His heart was a little relieved when he saw Marten entering the house, but that made him confused when Marten was holding his head up in the chair, his breath hunting and occasionally the man's hands grabbed his own hair.
Alicia ventured out of the room, walking toward Marten slowly.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Alicia was a little surprised when she saw Marten who immediately got up from his seat and approached Alicia.
"Allicia! Aren't you at school?" Marten asked in panic. His head was moving like he was looking for something.
"I'm home, it's just the final, and I got a Dad first place. That's my cup." Peeking Alicia, he excitedly pointed at the trophy near the television. Marten bowed and hugged Alicia tightly. It was just the breath and desperate voice Alicia heard back then.
"Alicia, I'm sorry I failed to be a good father to you."
"Dad. You why? What's up?" Tanya Alicia tried to let go of the hug, she felt Marten crying softly.
The sound of a car squealing in front of the house makes Alicia more confused, Alicia pulled by Marten into her room.
"What's up Dad?" Marten put his finger in front of the man's mouth.
"Shut up Alicia. I'm not a good person, you're hiding here, whatever you see you need to shut up, don't get out of here. Whatever happens to me, don't you care. Come on in." Marten pushes Alicia's body into the bathroom. There was the sound of an outside door being forcefully broken by someone.
"Shut up here. You'll be safe." Marten closed the bathroom door, and followed by the sound of the closed room door.
"Dad.." cried Alicia, and she bit her finger with great fear. Something must be wrong with Marten. Alicia's heart was pounding, she wasn't calm just staying here.
The sound of heavy stuff being thrown made Alicia cover her ears, she was scared. Before long the voice disappeared, Alicia came out of the bathroom, she opened the room door slightly to see what was really happening.
"Dad.." - Oozed Alicia slowly, her eyes glazed as she looked at the battered Marten, Marten was held by a large body, and someone with a neat appearance walked slowly in front of Marten.
"I'm John. No one dares to play me." Said the man in a distinctive voice that could make everyone shiver.
"I. I'm not playing you, I'm looking for money to pay for all my debts." Shouted Marten with a pleading face.
"You always avoid meeting my people! You intend to escape from me huh!." The man pulled Marten's hair back. Alicia covered her mouth as the man pulled out a gun from behind her shirt.
"No. Don't kill Daddy!" Shouted Alicia, he came out and attacked the big man, Alicia bit the man's arm to release Marten.
"Catch this girl." Shouting at the man holding the gun, Alicia rebelled as two men walked into her house.
"No, don't hurt my son! Just kill me!" Shouted Marten. John smiled slanted, the girl was still rebelling.
"Why didn't you say you had such a beautiful child? I like girls who have this kind of energy."
"No! Please don't take my son! Just kill me." Alicia's sight and hearing instantly felt dead as the handkerchief perched on her face. However, he still heard Marten's voice shouting his name.

Alicia blinked her eyes a few times, the lighting in this room was so dim.
"Dad." Call Alicia weak. He tried to move his hand, but the hand tied back made him want to cry. He can't do anything. The second time was tied up and his hands tied behind a chair.
"Daddy!" Alicia shouted, she cried, was scared and various frightening feelings hit her mind.
