Part 1
Stella's POV

Another day and i still can't believe that grandma isn't there with us anymore...she was like the head of our family after my dad left us, she was the only one who tried her best to keep us together.

I am just here in my room thinking about my family. I wonder who will take over the company, mom or aunt Lila?

Just then, i am lost in my thoughts and i hear someone knocking the door.
"Who is it?" i wipe my tears. "Its me, your mom." i hear mom's voice and i
hurry to open the door.

"Why did you lock the door?" she asked. "You don't usually lock the door."

"Umm...yesss i was changing!" i lied. "But you still have the same pajamas," she looked at me. "I meant i was about to change but you came in," i smiled hoping that she will stop questioning me.

"Okay...i came to tell you that i am going back to Blue city, after half an hour your brother will come to pick me up," she explained.

"What?! mom you know its not safe there but you still want to go," i got worried. "I will call Max and tell him to not come."

"I have to go or else your uncle won't leave us in peace..." she sighed. "What do you mean?" i asked. "You don't need to know, you just stay here and take care of yourself." she hugged me and left.

"Mom wait!"i opened the door. "I will come too," i held her hand. "NO! you can't come," she looked mad. "Why can you go and brother go but i can't go?" i asked while feeling left out.

"Because-" aunt Lila interrupted. "Oh my lovely niece!" she hugged me. "Good morning aunt Lila," i smiled.

"I have to go now..." mom left. i knew why she left(because of aunt Lila) they don't get along well. "Sorry aunt...i need to go now," i apologized and followed mom.

"Wait!" aunt Lila grabbed my hand. "You can talk to me instead, Maybe Lily is busy." The way she grabbed my hand made me feel uneasy.
