—————

My heart's already breaking, baby, go on, twist the knife.

I couldn't sleep last night. My mind was full of different thoughts about my father and that mystery girl. Who was she and why had my father been seen with her multiple times? This morning Niall is working on his computer trying to answer my questions.

"Pacing back and forth is not going to help you." Niall said.
"I can't sit still."
"I think I'm getting some answers." He mumbled.
I sat next to him.
"Are you?" I looked at his screen.
"Kind of." He shut his laptop.
I gave him a confused look.

"I contacted some of my friends from other organizations and they are trying to figure it out. It's going to take some time." He explained.
"Like how long?"
"I don't know. But they're pretty fast so not too long."
I nodded.
"Come on babe don't stress yourself. It's probably nothing." He said while placing a gentle kiss on top of my head.
"Maybe." I said resting my head on his chest.

Couple hours have passed. I was scrolling through the magazine.
"Daph they found out." Niall announced.
"But I don't think you're going to be happy about it." He said.
"What do you mean?" I placed the magazine on the coffee table while Niall sat next to me with his laptop.

"Um ... how can I say it"
"Niall what's wrong?"
"Turns out your father is not only a detective, he's also a criminal."
"What?" I was confused. So very confused.
"He's been living a double life. And the girl is his ... other daughter. Your sister."
My sister?! No that can't be possible.

"My was stillbirth." I said under my breath.
He looked down.
"No. That's a lie. They lied to you." I said. That was the only explanation.
"How sure are you that your sister was stillbirth?"
"I ... my dad told us. He didn't even let my mom to glance at her." I murmured.
Niall turned the screen toward me.
"Her eyes are like you. So are her lips."
I stared at her picture.

My sister was alive. All this time she was alive and healthy. The grief we went through was for nothing.
"Why?" I said with a shaky voice.
"He raised her as a criminal."
Two daughters. Two occupations. Two morals. Two lives. But now it's two daughters, one occupation, one moral, and one life.
"I'm also a criminal." I said.
He hugged me.

It was in the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep. So I walked out of our bedroom letting Niall to get the sleep he deserved. I sat on the couch while my eyes travelled to Niall's laptop on the coffee table. I picked it up to look at my sister's picture again. Password. Well I used to be a detective once so I figured Niall's password quickly.

Hazelnuts93011!

His nickname for who he loves the most with the combination of their birthdays. He is also a mystery guy with full of surprises hence the exclamation mark.

I kept looking at the picture and trying to figure out why my father had done such a thing. My poor mother. My poor sister. I sighed shaking my head and tried closing the laptop that Niall received an interesting notification.

Did you tell her about her sister yet?
Are we moving on to the third phase?

I clicked on it.
I scrolled. And scrolled. And scrolled.
Niall had been texting this mysterious person for a while.
I scrolled once I saw my name had been mentioned couple of times.
I scrolled. And scrolled. And scrolled.
The world started spinning. I felt nauseous.

Plan.
I was nothing but a plan to him.
I was fooled. I had been Manipulated for a plan.
I was just a plan.
I waited for the next morning to arrive.

"Morning" Niall came downstairs.
"I was just a plan to you?" I blurted.
"What?" he furrowed his eyebrows.
"Don't act dumb. I was just a plan for you. You so badly wanted to take your grandfather's seat that you didn't care about hurting anyone! You Fucking Used Me!" I said while my tears dropping one by one. I was frustrated, hurt, and betrayed.

"Daphne baby"
"No!" I pointed my finger at him once he took a step toward me.
"Just tell me what happened." He said softly.
"I saw it Niall. I saw the texts. You and some random person were planning everything. Including you fooling me. You knew about my father, you knew about my sister. Seeing them was not coincidence." I said.
He closed his eyes taking a sharp breath.

"I left everything behind Niall. I stepped on my morals and ego for you." My voice trembled.
"I gave up on everyone and everything for you. But ... you were going to toss me in the streets once you achieved your goal."
"No." he shook his head.
I nodded.
"No I would've never done that"
"You would."

"NO!" He yelled punching the wall.
"I Fucking Love You Daphne. Understand That."
"Until when? Until when Niall?"
"Until tomorrow, the day after, the day after tomorrow, next week, month, year, forever. Until forever." He walked toward me.
He wrapped his hands around me and kissed me.

"I love you Daphne. Until forever."
I shook my head side to side breaking free from his grip taking a step back.
"No." I whispered.
"You may love me, but" I swallowed hard.
"You love having power and control more than anything else." I said.
"Daphne I love you more than anything else. Believe me. Please." He said once again closing the gap between us. He cupped my face.

"I want you. I need you. I love you." He kissed me again.
"No lies?" I asked.
"No lies." He said.
I kissed him back.
But this time.
I had a plan.
