Them and Her

Chapter 59

Nevaeh didn't say anything else for the rest of the walk towards the kitchen, her mind was filled with thoughts, impossible thoughts that seemed possible.

Carly walked around the kitchen, preparing hot cocoas for them and some snacks, while the men had their talk.

"This is fucking bullshit!" Aiden, the oldest brother of the Santiago brothers, slammed his hand on the table, his face red, fuming with anger.

"You need to calm the fuck down!" Asher, second oldest, snapped back. Running his hand through his black hair.

Conrad just sat there on the couch, looking up at the ceiling with his hands behind his head, deep in thought.

"You mean to tell me that my sister has been fucking alive for all these years?!" Aiden spoke, more calmly this time and taking a seat.

"Yes, we're not completely sure but 99% we are." Jonathan answered, looking at Lucien for a response but getting none.

Lucian couldn't believe what he was hearing, his mind was jumbled, after his princess 'died', he himself died with her that day.

The day when she was supposedly buried, a piece of himself was buried with her. He lost a piece of himself that day,

And he never got it back.

A shaky breath escaped him as he stared out the window, his hand on his chin in deep thought.

His supposed 'dead daughter' is sitting downstairs with his wife, talking, breathing and having a conversation with her, she could be alive,

And he didn't know how to handle that.

"Look, I'm sure Nevaeh is your daughter and your sister, and I know that you know, why don't we stop lying to ourselves?" Eliot spoke, ending the conversation.

All eyes went to him, silence erupting in the large crowded room.

"All we need is a test." Theo said as he leaned back in the chair.

"Do one." Lucian spoke since the first time he's seen Nevaeh.

Their heads snapped towards him in surprise.

"Good." Jonathan took the small bag and took out Nevaeh's hairbrush out of it.

"What the..." Angel muttered, looking at him weirdly.

"What? I came prepared." Jonathan said as he handed Aiden the bag with the brush in it.

"Yeah, clearly." Conrad muttered under his breath, Jonathan couldn't care less since he rolled his eyes at the unnecessary comment, they'll thank him later.

"We'll send this to our private doctor." Lucian spoke, taking a sip of his whisky neat.

It was silent after that for a couple minutes before Angel spoke, a hint of anger visible in his voice.

"You need to talk with Lucas, what he did was out of control." His jaw ticked when he recalled the incident.

"I'll handle it." Lucian answered, looking out the window.

"How long have you been together?" Conrad asked, his voice quite in the room.

"A couple months." Eliot answered, a smile unconsciously taking over his face.

"You need to tell her, about what you do." Aiden said, putting his hands in his pockets.

"We will, soon." Theo dismissed the topic, standing up and fixing his jacket.
