Harry's POV.

"The reason they hated you is because you aren't our sister." Matthew blurted out making everyone pause, with wide eyes and gasp leave our lips.

I quickly turned my head to look at Alana whose eyes were wide as sausages, the grip on her fork tightening until her knuckles were white.

"What the fuck did you say?" she spat, her jaw tightening.

Aria slapped on Matthew's shoulder and warned him with her eyes "Alana, baby, just listen, okay? You are our sister but..."

"Byt what?" Alana urged, her hands trembling, her breathing escalating drastically "But what, Aria?"

"We don't share the same father"

"Excuse me?"

"You are our half-sister, Alana" Matthew said once again.

The fork drop from Alana's hand making a loud clank sound, she leaned back, her eyes fixed on her brother and sister "I don't believe it. That can't be true. She loved dad. More than anything. She wouldn't do that to him. You guys are mistaken" she shook her head in disbelief.

"No, Alana, we are not... Just look at us... I look exactly like mom, Matthew looks like dad except for his eyes and you, you have brown eyes but not the same as us, your hair is different there are a lot of differences between us, some of them so minuscule that can be mistaken as mom and dad's and when... when you first came home, I asked them and they told me the truth why they didn't wanted to keep you."

"Why?"

"Because dad didn't wanted you and neither did mom... The day you were born, the day mom went into labor with you, they were in an accident. Mom, dad, and your father... Somehow, mom and dad made it and so did you but... but your dad died on the spot. I am sorry"

"I don't get it." she still shook her head, it was like she was purposely trying to not understand what Aria is saying.

Aria gulped at her sister before speaking again "You see, umm, mom and dad had a fall out, I guess, they weren't divorced or anything, they were just in a fight and mom got drunk along with your father and mom cheated on dad with your father and she fell for him too and she got pregnant with you and she was in love with two guys"

Alana leaned forward resting both her elbows on the table, her hands going into the front of her hair, and gripping it "Oh my god"

"Apparently, mom tried to just go back to dad and forget about your father and didn't tell him about your father and she lied that you were his but it was hard for your father and mom to avoid each other because your father is... " Aria stopped to look at Matthew who nodded his head in go ahead.

"Your father is Uncle Daniel, dad's older brother" Alana gasp.

"Dad loved his brother and so did mom. And mom dad too and she couldn't just keep lying to him about you so one dad she told him about you being his brother's kid and dad I don't know.... but he accepted you, even though it hurt him, he accepted you and promised to love you just the way he loves us until that accident"

"After losing Uncle Daniel, everything changed. They were fighting in the car when the accident happened and you were born the day he died. And they blamed you for Uncle's death. They started to think you were the reason he is gone... And right after you were born, dad lost all his money during a tax raid leaving us with like very little to no money. They blamed you for something that wasn't even in your hands and I am so sorry, baby" Aria finished leaving all of us in shock.

"Mom hated you because you looked like your father. And dad... you know, how dad lost his father at a very young age so Uncle Daniel was all he got and he loved him, Uncle Daniel was the only father figure he had, his best friend and after that accident, he lost him too and he couldn't bear the thought that he was gone and you were safe. He hated you for that... And then they were umm..." Aria trailed looking hesitant.
