Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge-Chapter 6 - Love Always Mum

She arrived at First Trust National Bank and walked straight inside. Seeing the other people surrounding her in office attire she tucked her hair behind her ears and smoothed down her clothing. She had to get her life on track, for now, she has to wear her stepsisters hand me downs while she rebuilds her life from scratch. She took the key and her I.D out of her bag and walked towards a counter.

The young girl behind the counter smiled at her as she approached the counter.

"How can I help you today Miss?"

"I'd like to see what's inside this Dropbox please."

The girl behind the desk nodded and took the key and Aprils I.D, she then inputs some information into the computer. She handed April back the key and her I.D while smiling.

"The Dropbox was first opened eight years ago and you are the first to open it. Follow me."

April smiled and followed the young female bank clerk. She looked around the bank as she followed behind her.

Her eyes landed on a tall, muscular man in a black suit. He walked with purpose towards her. His charisma and looks would draw anyone's attention.

He didn't seem to notice her but she looked into his eyes. His eyes were black, not soulless nor lifeless. Instead, they were like two pristine stones of onyx, that lit up with a purple flare when touched by candlelight. His jet black hair was slicked back it looked sleek and silky, she wanted to run her hands through it. He had defined cheekbones and a manly dark stubble on his square jaw.

He walked straight past her, his manly cologne smell drifted into the air. Following after him were several men, whom she assumed to be bank staff and his personal secretary. Her mind became fuzzy, she knew him but she wasn't sure from where.

The bank clerk stopped walking as she had entered the vault and waited for her to catch up. April shook away her thoughts as she entered the vault.

"I'll be right outside when you are finished. Take your time."

"Thank you."

The door closed and April looked at the number on the key.

0910

She walked till she found the box, she put the key in and turned it, pulling out the box from inside.

There was a table in the middle of the room so she brought the box to the table and she looked inside. There was a letter and another key. She smiled at her mum, she was sending her on some kind of treasure hunt.

To My Beautiful Daughter April,

I'm sure you have grown into the most accomplished and elegant young lady I wish I could see it. Unfortunately, if you are reading this I have left you alone in this world and for that, I am truly sorry. Please take this key and go to the following address.

7 Cerulean Condominium

Your father didn't know I had a condo and don't tell him. I liked to get away sometimes, you may understand this when you have a husband in the future. There are too many things to tell you and I have time in which to write them all. Please take care and know I will be watching from above.

Love Always Mum xoxo

Tears threatened to spill from her eyes but she gritted her teeth, holding them back she then put the letter in her bag. She took the box and left it back where it was, leaving the vault shortly after.

"Thank you."

"No problem miss."

She walked out of the bank and took a cold unsteady breath, the chill in the air slightly swayed her body. She thought of what she should do next. She did have some money saved up on her bank card and now she knew her mother had left her an apartment the little money she was saving towards her own place she could use.

In her previous life, she had rented a small one-bedroom, one bath apartment. It was cramped and not in a good area. Thanks to her mum she now had a promising place to live.

Looking at the surrounding high-end shops she saw the luxury Ephone sign. She walked inside and walked straight up to the counter. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

"Hello miss how can I help you today."

The salesman behind the counter surveys her attire but he was respectful and made no judgements.

"I would like the newest phone model please."

The salesman's smile widened at the sales prospect.

"No problem miss, please wait a moment."

He went to the back and carried out four white boxes with the Ephone logo on them. He placed them in front of her.

"This is the Ephone 10, our newest model. It is designed to revolutionise video and photography, with beyond cinematic 10K resolution so you can snap epic photos or videos. It has it all in two sizes: 64MP, our fastest chipset and a massive all-day battery. It comes in eye-catching red, pure white, bold black and sleek silver for you to choose."

He paused waiting for her answer.

"Red please."

She smiled happily in both lifetimes this was her first phone and most expensive purchase so far. She handed the salesman her card.

"No problem miss, I'll just wrap this up for you."

The sales clerk put through the sale of her phone and handed her a white bag. She thanked him and left the luxury shop.

She then started to walk to the bus stop again. Although she could afford to get a taxi now, she didn't want to alert her stepmother or stepsister so she chose the bus, putting her new phone in her bag.

It was getting dark and she had to go home to make dinner so as no one would be suspicious. She would visit the address her mother gave her tomorrow. She had to think of a plan now so she could move out with ease. Knowing her stepmother she would want to keep her around for her own benefits and so she could keep an eye on her.

She felt no familial love in her past life since her mother had passed away. But now she felt her mothers care and her mothers best friends warm tone she felt strong for what would lie ahead of her.
