"You don't have to drop me off everyday. I know you're busy more than I do." Nora said. She feels bad for taking too much time of Aaron. He never fail to drop her off everyday and he took her on a date every other weekend.

"So cheesy." Nora roll her eyes.

Arrive at Nora House.

"Oh Aaron, I see, you're with Nora." A man in her 40s said as he see Nora and Aaron enter the house together.

"Hello, uncle. You're home early." Aaron greet with a big smile on his face.

"Yes, I decide to come back home early to have dinner with Nora. Did you two stay after school? I was almost going to ask someone to look for Nora when I come home and she's not here. I thought she wander alone again." The man said as he takes a glances at Nora.

"No, I took her out in a date that's why and I'm sorry I didn't know you'll be home late. If I have known, I wouldn't let her eat first." Aaron apologize.

"Oh I see. That's fine with me as long as she is with you." The man said.

"Dad, you should ask him to take a seat." Nora said.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Come, take a seat." He gestured his hand and said.

"It's fine. I'll be leaving now anyway." Aaron said.

"And I'm going upstairs." Nora said pointing her indent finger up.

"Alright you two.." before she could hear anything, Nora walk away to upstairs to her room.

"Phew! I thought I was going to die of holding my breath."

As soon as she close her room door behind, she let out a sign of relief. Her hand clenched onto her chest. She was scared. Scared of her dad getting mad. The thought of seeing him crash everything in the house shivered her.

If only she could escape.

"I've been in this cage for a long time and I'm tired of it." Nora looks upset.

She takes out her phone dial Aaron's number.

She's desperate. Desperate to escape.

"Hey, Nora? Are you okay?" Aaron asks as soon as pick up the phone.

"Aaron? I don't want to live like this anymore. I want to have my freedom. People told me I have it all but what's the point of me living like this when I'm not happy. What should I do?" Nora cried.

'She has enough and tired of it all. She must has been desperate.' Aaron thoughts.

"Nora, breath. Calm down. I'll think of a way to take you away but please can you endure it longer? In the meantime, I'll help you not to get hurt. Please trust me on this." Aaron said.

“Promise?” She asks.

“Yes, I promise.”

“Okay, good night then.” She hang up on the phone and follow with the sound toot-toot-tooot..

“What should I do?” Aaron turn his head and ask the man.

“Let’s wait a little longer. It’s not the time yet.” The man said.

Meanwhile in Eden’s Apartment.

“Did you find anything about him?” Eden asks.

“No, but something looks suspicious. I try to find his profile record but there’s nothing that shows his hometown, parents, childhood school, or anyone that related to him. However, I found that he was adopted by a rich and very powerful man.” The man said.

“That’s good enough. I’ll find out the rest.” Eden said.
