She hated the Dark since she was a baby, she would cry and cry until someone holds her in their arms and open the lights only one could do that.
Amerea Jacob lived with her abusive mother and stepfather for most o...
"Now that we fixed this issue, Drix, Driz, come with me. I need to show you something." Alec said in a serious tone.
"Is it about the one who took Amellia?" Drix asked.
"Yeah, You might aswell come, Amellia. This is someone You might quite know well." Alec said.
Drix, Driz, and I followed Alec and Gio to his office. I was beyond shocked when I entered Alec's office. Papers are scattered everywhere, maps are full of pins as if they're marking each places. Alec hate mess, he maybe Workaholic but he still is the cleanness among all of us.
"Did a hurricane happened here?" I asked while looking around.
"Alec was so worried he stayed in here for a whole day until we finally got a lead about your whereabouts." Gio said.
"I was gone for a day and a half and yet all of this?" I asked shocked.
"A lot could happen in just a day." Drix patted my head.
"I'll fix the room later. Now, out of all this 3 pictures, for sure one of them is your kidnapper, Amellia." Alec gave us 3 pictures.
The first one is a guy with white hair, I think he's in his 50's already, a mustache, blue eyes. Not familiar. The second one is a guy with black hair, grey eyes, a piercing in his nose and one in his left ear, not familiar. The last one, black hair, green eyes, sharp jawline, eye shape like my mothers! This one looks very familiar to me. Ph yes!
"This one." I showed them the picture.
"He's Your professor, right?" Drix asked.
"Yeah, the substitute." I said. "But he's not the one who's with me in the dark place." I added.
They looked at me curiously.
"The one with doesn't have black hair, instead he have a bleached hair." I said.
"A bleached hair with the exact same feature as this one?" Gio asked.
"Yeah."
"Dad, call dad. Now!" Alec commanded the men with us.
What the hell? Is this guy connected to us? Fuck he really looks familiar to me, but I couldn't figure out who and when did I saw him.
"What happened?" Dad asked as soon as he enters my entire family behind him.
"R.V.S, Raven Vencar Sokolov, or as we know Raven Hara." Alec said.
Raven Hara?
"Wait, who?" I asked my eyebrows furrowed.
"Raven Hara, or You would probably know him as Raven Jacob." I looked at Alec confused, I don't know any Raven Jacob.
"Looks like he never appeared in Your life as a Jacob." Alec said.
"Raven Jacob or Raven Vencar Sokolov is the adopted son of Mother's Aunt and Uncle. He have an older brother named Gerald Vexar Sokolov. Or the one you know as Gerald Jacob, the father of Evelia Marie Jacob."
"Can someone please explain to me why this is happening to me? To us?" I said.
"Okay, here, let's start from the very beginning. Mom's Aunt and Uncle are unable to conceive. So after trying a lot of times, they decided that they'll just adopt, and they adopted those 2 boys, the truth is only Raven was about to be adopted, but Raven wouldn't leave without Gerald, and they ended up adopting both. They live happily with Mom and Uncles. They protected Mom so much because she's the only Princess. But when they grew up and Mom met Dad, Gerald and Raven hated Dad so much, non of us know the exact reason, but I guess it have to do something about the past, but he never attended Mom and Dad's Wedding and just popped out when You were born. About the time you got kidnapped, Gerald was so obsessed with you that time because he and her wife still doesn't have a child after trying for years. Her wife was jealous that he kept on coming here just to see you, she was jealous of the love you were receiving from her husband. So she brainwashed Uncle into kidnapping You. And with the help of Raven, he successfully did. That time, we're eating happily, Drix and Driz were playing with you, it was a celebration for my graduation that time, we didn't even noticed that our most trusted man which is also the one who cooks for the family decided to team up with Gerald and tried to kill us. The food was mixed with poison." Alec explained.
"How did you not die?" I asked.
"Looks like the Man regretted his decision and gave us the antidote. And the poison isn't really that strong, it would still kill you, but if You're able to go to a hospital as soon as possible, You're safe. But it will slowly attack Your Organs until it finally poisons Your whole body." Alec explained.
"And now, they want you to really die."
"Yes."
Everyone's fist are clenched to the side, they stood straight as if they're ready to fight.
"Amellia, did he tell you about a gang?" Xan asked.
"Yeah, he used that to blackmail me." I said.
"That's why they kept on moving the date on our fight." Xan clenched his fist even more his knuckles turning white. "Dad, we're going to ruin that Gang now. I don't care if this is unfair, that's how a Mafia plays anyways." Xan said.
"Well then, the older ones come with us, Younger ones, protect Amellia. This won't take that long." Dad said. "Oh, and You can start with the plan." Dad added.
I looked at Ao confused "What plan?" I asked.
"You wanted to learn how to use a Gun and self defense, right?" Ao asked.
I nodded.
"Well, we should start learning today. The earlier the better, sooner or later, Raven will find out that you didn't do what he wants. He'll go looking for you, he'll take whatever chance he got to take you. It's better to know how to protect yourself even if we are able to protect you." Ao said.
Ao bent down to my height, "Amellia, never let anyone blackmail You again. You're Amellia Mio Krane Hara-Ruscov, they shouldn't be able to blackmail You, You're the only princess of this family, remember that."
