Quiescent Storms

~THIRTY TWO (II)~

"You're Lilli's figlia ?" (daughter) A deep Italian voice asking out as I looked up from my seated position from the couch.

Gathering myself after that mental breakdown in the conference room, I silently walked inside the data cell where Chris was doing his surveillance.

He's the only one who perhaps missed my confession.

Or so I thought.

Because I soon as I entered, I found him watching the CCTV footage of the torture cell where all of this fiasco happened.

Hearing me enter, he looked up while I silently took my position at the couch without meeting his gaze which was now roaming over my undisguised appearance. I wish I could hide in a cave and never face anyone, but there's no time for wallowing in self pity. So here I'm hiding in a corner,knowing that everyone will eventually gather here for all information and details.

What I didn't expect was the confrontation of a past which was waiting to wreck me in a whole new way.

"Si." I slowly spoke out sitting up straight in couch.I watched everyone silently entering the room behind Kendrick Ivano as my face remained calm and expressionless, not letting my spiraling mind reflect on my expression.

You don't have time to weep for your sorrowful fate.Let bygones be bygones.

"But Liliana died when she was pregnant." Kendrick Ivano whispered in confusion as he now seata beside me facing my now real self.

With honey eyes and open dark brunette curls.

I had no answer to his question. It's his choice to believe me or not.

"You do resemble her." I heard him softly whispering out as he took in my appearance.I knew I was my mother's daughter, which made my father hate my existence more. I thought while forcing myself not to drop any single tear for now.

I think I've shed enough for today.

"I still can't wrap my head around the fact that we were living in  dark for twenty three years."He again spoke  up in a deep voice which carries an underlined fury and realisition about the fact that, Lucifer Federico is more than a rotten bastard than what we knew.
 
I still don't know what more can make me hate him more.

"Ken, I'm going to bring my sister in the mansion.I have to inform you something important after that.Wait for me at your study." Anthony Angus hurriedly spoke out and disconnected the call even before his best friend Kendrick Ivano can respond something.

Young Kendrick quietly stared at his phone for some moment deciding to poke his friend later about such an unusual behavior.

If he knew,that was the last time he'll ever hear his dearest best friend like brother's voice.

Anthony Angus continued driving towards her sister's home praying wholeheartedly that that monster haven't got the hauch about him knowing about  the monster's real face.In worry,he increased his speed of car not realising that a trap already lay ahead for his demise.

"What did you just said?" Kendrick Ivano screamed out banging his desk in the study room."I received a call from a local police officer.He informed me that there was a car accident,where the car was on fire and two burned bodies were discovered from the car.The bodies are in an unrecognisable condition. I'm now on my way to the hospital where they've sent the bodies." Lucifer Federico spoke out in a despair tone causing Kendrick Ivano to instantly pale in terror.
