Deceptive Desires: Fooled by Secrets

P A R T - 2

"God, after all this man had been through, its a heart attack that takes him? The Lord does work in mysterious ways." I hear one of the men say, the one with long ponytail.

"The man was best at what he did, I don't think we'll be able to find another like him." Says the one with stark blue eyes. From the other two, one has specs and the other has a clearly has a wig on.

By their conversation I understand that they are men who worked with my father. But I still don't understand the whole thing.
I made the guest list, I invited each and every person who is currently standing inside this banquet. I didn't invite them and I don't know who they are. Because my father didn't share much about Horizon, I didn't invite anyone from there.
Horizon Reality Group, the real estate company my father worked with which got him the promotion to shift from India to Italy.

I stay calm as I approach them. "Hello"

"Oh Hi dear, you must be Alina. Your father talked so much about you." Ponytail's the one who talks first.
"Indeed, he couldn't stop talking of his overachieving daughter and his son who always looked up to her." This time it's four eyes.

"Really, that's so nice to hear. You are all from Horizon, I assume?" They nod in unison. Weird.

"Why don't you follow me gentlemen, you could tell me more stories about my father at work. And I mean, I ought to treat my father's colleagues well." I say with a look in my eyes which would make the greatest tyrants have sympathy for me.

It's ocean eyes who speaks next, "I really wish we could but we really have somewhere to be and-" he's cut off by ponytail. "Oh come on Rick, I'm sure we could spare some time for her, she's Arun's daughter after all."

Ocean eyes or Rick as they call him seems to think about it for some time and then gives a hesitant nod. "Yeah. Yeah sure."

"Great, then follow me." I say jumping at the opportunity.

We reach what I call the 'Diamond room' .

"Make yourselves comfortable gentlemen." I say walking towards the door we just entered from "guards, why don't you lock the doors for... 20 minutes? Yeah 20 minutes." I say looking at my watch.

"I don't see why their is a need to lock the door really-" says racoon hair as he's cut off by the sound of the gate locking.

"Oh no, no. It's fine, we'll get more privacy this way. Why don't you come here, ponytail."

They looked shocked at my sudden change in behaviour but that doesn't stop him from standing up and coming near me.

Swiftly and with speed, I take the gun out from my belt hidden by my blazer and point it at him. Immediately, all the other men point their guns at me. Just like I wanted.
