She is dying to know but is afraid to find out. When the secrets which are covered under a veil of dust, will come out, will she be able to handle them?

Her heart burns thinking, the quench, the fire, the thirst, will she really accept those?

" What happened? Did he got so scared of me that he is not even coming here " I seethed, looking at them with a mocking smile.

Sitting on the same chair for hours, bored me.

So let's do some entertainment.

Diana fumed in anger, ready to scratch my face with her long ass nails but Samuel held her back. I almost laughed at her red face.

" Go to hell! " she shouted, wriggling to get out of his hold.

I guess, by mistake, she stomped upon his foot because of the voice he made and glared at her.

" Aww have been there baby, but devil did not liked me so chucked me out " I looked at them with dazed eyes, but a smirk playing on my lips.

This cut in my arm really did hurt like a bitch.

" How can you left with much humour when you are about to die?" Samuel spoke this time, shoving her to the side.

She almost banged her forehead, Diana got up and glared at him with hatred.

" And who said that I will be dying? Instead it will be you and that idiot mastermind behind you " Samuel rolled his eyes.

" You -" he was about to say something but was cut off by opening of the door. The bright light again blinded my eyes causing me to shut my eyes tightly.

I blinked my eyes few times to adjust with the light, a tall and well built figure walked inside. I could feel his intense and intimating gaze on both of them.

They bowed their head down, he was dressed in long brown boots and black jacket, his face was still not visible due to my dizziness and that bright light, contrasting behind him.

" You both are idiots. Can't even keep a girl shut " he roared and both of them flinched. Wait! I have heard this voice before.

Why is everyone just so known to me!
I mean, can't there be another new character in my life? It really hurts when your own family betrays you.
But then, betrayal comes from your closest ones.

He took long strides towards them and they fumbled to find words. I craned my neck to get a glimpse of his face.

He turned around, my eyes widened.

" Henry! " I whispered in shock. He smirked seeing my face.

" Hello Alaia! I hope they were not too harsh on you. But seeing your devilished state, I really can't say that. They really tortured you well. Atleast these good for nothing idiots are good in something"

He rolled his eyes and turned around to look at them with a praising look.

" Wow" I whispered to myself, if not for my hands tied, I would have slow clapped.

" The one who is a fatherly figure to Ashton, whom he respects so much, the one who is literally like his body guard is that on who is trying to kill him..... Wow! " I laughed sarcastically, my lips quivered as I looked everywhere but at him.

Tears brimmed in corner of my eyes, never in my wildest dreams I would have thought that him would be him.

" You know Henry, not only Ashton but even me, we both respected you so much. Never I thought that it would be you who killed our parents. The fatherly figure to us is the one who made us an orphan" I said, looking at him with hatred.
