Two years later
In a villa in Marina City, Cara Jao looked out at the waves as they came crashing into the cliff below.
She sighed as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
It had been two years and six months.
Two years and six painful months since she left Capital City. She she couldn't deny that she missed her father but most of all she missed the man that had sent her running to Marina City.
She had heard two years ago that Aldrich Lawrence had been forced to reveal his identity to the world.
If rumors were to be believed, he had a new woman on his arm every month, not letting any of them stay long enough.
Her heart broke the first time she heard that, but still, she didn't go running back to him.
As a matter of fact it made Cara even more stubborn, choosing to stay in Marina City.
Her father told her once that Al would come get her when it was safe.
It seemed safe now.
