The Dead CINDERELLA's
EPS. 57. Funeral home.

The public was excited when they heard the rumor that Hailey committed suicide. All the stations are currently reporting the news of Hailey's suicide, but they have not received confirmation either from the police, or Daniel personally.

Sierra comes to a funeral home, and sees Daniel there. As Hailey's guardian, Daniel was contacted by the police. Tobiaz approached Sierra, apologizing for negligence until Hailey committed suicide.

" I'm sorry Miss Sierra, I've been negligent."  Tobiaz.

" It's not your fault captain, he chose his own path." Sierra Say.

Sierra approached Hailey's coffin, although he died in captivity, but many still came there to offer their condolences to Daniel. However Daniel was a famous businessman, so they came up with various other intentions.

The news that Sierra is Daniel's biological daughter is of course still strong circulating out there, but does not dismiss the fact that Hailey and Carine have always appeared in public. So the public still thinks that Daniel still loves his two stepdaughters.

' You're a cunning Hailey. You chose to commit suicide, when your punishment was in sight. While I can't forget what it's like to get shot and die with three bullets going through my body. I just want you to get the punishment you deserve, but you chose your own path. I can't forgive all your mistakes and your deeds to me, I will never forget how you always treated me inhumanely. ' Inner Sierra monologue, with a straight look at Hailey's photo.

' But God forbid to hate the dead.. My hatred for you is limited to the world, you are dead.. Rest in peace Hailey, though I hate you, but I forgive you today after I saw your coffin.' Inner Sierra again.

Reporters who saw the scene were ceaselessly photographing Sierra standing like a statue. After Sierra placed the flowers on top of Hailey's coffin, Sierra turned around and walked away from Hailey's coffin without even glancing at Daniel who was standing not far from there.

Daniel himself tried to summon Sierra but he abandoned his intentions, fearing he could no longer control himself. Daniel was embarrassed when he looked at Sierra, embarrassed because he used to always be rude to his biological daughter.

Journalists who saw it immediately made various assumptions, some say that Sierra does not recognize Daniel as a father, some say Daniel still does not want to recognize Sierra as his biological daughter. Some say that Because it was not considered for too long, Sierra finally gave up and left.

Daniel walks out of the room and, looking for Sierra, ventures out to apologize to Sierra once more. Daniel saw Sierra about to get into Daniel's car immediately rushed to Sierra.

" Sierras.." Call Daniel.

Sierra stopped his hand from opening the car door, and turned to face Daniel.

" Sierra.. Can we talk.?" Said Daniel.

" Please speak sir." Sierra Say.

Daniel felt the pain in his heart, now he knows, apparently that is how it feels when we are not considered by our loved ones. All this time he was always rude and did not care at all about Sierra. Maybe it used to be how Sierra felt, maybe even more sick because Sierra experienced it for years he lived after Sophia's death.

" Can we talk somewhere else.?" Ask Sierra.

Sierra was worried, he wanted to know what Daniel wanted to talk about, but he did not want his heart to hurt again.

" Where.?" Sierra Say.

Daniel smiled brightly, he immediately expressed his intentions.

" Can you go home tomorrow night ? There's a lot of things I want to talk to you about." Said Daniel.

' You call yourself father again..' Inner Sierra.

" Good, tomorrow night I'll come." Sierra Say.

All his life since his mother's death, Sierra had never seen Daniel smile at him at all. Never even called out to him in such a soft voice at this moment. If Daniel spoke to Sierra it was only when Daniel was about to scold Sierra, and always in a harsh word.

" I'm no longer your daughter sir, please remember that." Said Sierra, then got into the car that apparently had Arthur in it.

" Road." Said Arthur.

And the car left Daniel still standing with his own face. Sierra again reminded that he had no relationship with Sierra.

' Can't you forgive dad son.. I know you've done too much wrong and sin to you, I really regret it.' Inner Daniel.

' I want to make amends for you, son.' Daniel again.

Hailey was buried in a public cemetery, Daniel did not put Hailey impregnated the elite like other rich people, the public was back in a frenzy with it. Because Daniel has always been famous for pampering his two daughters, then what is the meaning of today's events.

" Mister Daniel, why did you bury Miss Hailey in a public cemetery and not in an elite cemetery? Aren't you worried that the public will talk about you.? " one of the reporters said.

" I will hold a press conference, to confirm the rumors circulating there. So that you don't make assumptions. Come to my company building tomorrow, 10 am." Said Daniel.

Daniel is escorted by his bodyguards and leaves the cemetery after Hailey is buried. Even after Daniel left, everyone joined the fairies from Hailey's tomb, leaving behind only a photo of Hailey that even fell on the ground.

JDW..!

The sound of lightning roared, heavy rain fell on the earth. Photo Hailey slowly dirt land due to rain water droplets and splashed by wet soil.

It is sad, he committed suicide, even after being buried there was no one else who cared about his tomb.

Somewhere else..

Sierra was looking out his window. He is in his own home at the moment. Sierra asks Arthur to drive him to his residence to retrieve something important.

Sierra is alone in his home, honestly not alone.. Arthur orders four bodyguards to guard Sierra, among them Zen. And that was unbeknownst to Sierra, while Arthur himself went to take care of his busy life.

Sierra stared at the window, as the rain reminded him of his childhood when he ran after Daniel at Sophia's funeral.

" Mother.. " Murmurm.

Unwilling to linger long immersed in bitter memories, he decided to brew a glass of hot chocolate and sit on his warm sofa. He looked for the most comfortable position and opened his laptop. Laptops that have not been open for a long time.

" O Sierra, you forgot that you've been working as a Hacker, you're dead.." He muttered to himself after seeing so many Emails coming in from Lucifer.
