Prologue
My parents died two weeks after I turned twenty-two. It was a head-on collision with a drunk driver while they were on vacation in New Orleans, Louisiana. They died instantly, or so the Virginia Beach police said when they arrived at my door. I'm not so sure and sometimes imagine them suffering before they died. I have nightmares about it and wake inconsolable. I miss them so much. They had been a constant presence in my life, always, and their sudden death left me dangling, unsure, lost, abandoned, and afraid.
The trip had been their lifelong dream to visit the city and experience the food and music they both loved. Their death and the confusion of dealing with it as an only child, and repatriating their bodies, the funeral, the wake, and then the lonely days sobbing in our great big house missing them so completely; all remain in a fog of memory. I know it all happened; I just can't seem to recall any of the details. Just an endless sea of faces. So many people came to mourn my mom and dad, and I knew almost none of them. Faces blurred and then faded into obscurity, and then the house went silent.
My parents' lawyers had me sign so many documents in those first months that they were all a blur. I signed so many things having no idea what they were or represented. I only worried about the house and belongings. They were all mine after probate, which wrapped up quickly. Then I never heard from them again and I was thankful. They assured me my parents' affairs were being managed by their small firm and I needn't worry. So, I didn't.
It was four months before I could see fit to go through their belongings. I started small, hesitating over every small item, memories flooding me, and I almost always ended up curled up on my side and crying all over again. Being an only child meant my parents were also my best friends. My everything. And they were gone and never coming back. It wasn't fair. I didn't deserve to be abandoned.
My only best friend was there at first when I needed her. She would come over with a pint of ice cream and a couple of bottles of wine, and we would eat, drink, and I would mostly cry. Most nights, we would end up curled up on the couch in our onesies, her holding me tight, covered in a fleece blanket, and my mascara streaming down my cheeks. I don't cry pretty.
After a time, she demanded I start to move on. When I didn't, she stopped coming round. After month three, she stopped taking my calls and texts. She had better things to do. Better friends.
I was alone. Completely.
Then I started going through the contents of my parent's master bedroom and my life changed forever.
Part One
My parent's house is a monster in a rich area of Virginia Beach, Virginia. It doesn't matter where exactly it is, but it's eight thousand square feet on four acres, gated, and surrounded by a high stone wall. My parents call it
Bradley Manor
. The lawns are immaculate, tended by our gardener. The house is run by an estate steward called Javier Taylor. The head housekeeper is Hailey Rivera. The full complement of staff is rather large, from chefs to housekeepers, to a chauffeur and someone just for laundry. I have never interacted with the staff. I rarely see them, and it has only been Javier who has approached me and brought me my meals. Most of the staff live on the grounds in the staff house; detached, and to the side of the property. They come and go and tend to the house, and I, like a ghost, wander from room to room, remembering the good times with my parents.
Even now, as I walk through the house, I keep expecting to find them, sitting, and reading. Or watching television. Or laughing in the kitchen over a glass of wine. My parents were always together. Always touching and giving soft kisses. Their absence in the house was almost a physical loss to me.
I was supposed to start my final year at George Mason University (GMU) in Fairfax in September, but instead I submitted a leave of absence and deferred my degree and wandered the house. Everywhere I looked were reminders of my former wonderful life. I had been so nurtured and loved and now abandoned. Alone. Depressed. Orphaned.
I slept in my own room. I had decorated it with all my passions: Horse posters, K-pop posters, World of Warcraft, Skyrim, and Halo posters, Lord of the Rings books and paraphernalia, my righteous PC gaming rig, a PlayStation 3, and even an XBOX 360. Stacks of paperback fantasy and sci-fi books, along with comics, lined the walls and bookcases. Everything I had wanted; my parents had provided.
It's my dad's fault I love geeky and nerdy stuff. I love him for that. And I'm crying again.
One day, I wandered past the master bedroom, which meant I walked down the corridor on the upper floor down to the double doors that opened into their massive master bedroom suite and the en suite. My parents were obviously very wealthy. Both came from rich parents, and when my grandparents died before I was born, my parents had inherited everything. Including an international consulting firm. Which I now owned, I suppose, but left the day-to-day to the new CEO, a friend of my mother's, to run with the lawyers. He was a thirty-something, nice looking single man. Clearly homosexual, or so I thought at the time.
Mostly, I was alone with my thoughts. The outside world was gone as far as I was concerned. And I never wanted to return to the harsh reality of being an orphan. I wrapped my head in fantasy and my delusion at that point was solidifying. But their bedroom awaited. I would have to do something with it and all their clothes and belongings. I had looked up several charity organisations that excelled at this. They all recommended I go through everything by myself first or with friends and remove the items I most needed and wanted to keep. They would come for the rest and take it away to sell or donate.
