The Family Of The Haunted

Chapter 49, Hidden Lies

Calum looked at him over his shoulder, " Have you told her the truth about that? I mean you always said that everyone deserve the truth, especially her...so why not tell her the truth about her brothers, hm?" He raised a question as he kept on staring at him. " What do you think? You've told me to keep a secret from her. " He stood up and walked up to Cal with a gentle smile. " Then we're in the same chapter. " He put the remote into his hand. " Hit it, so she can go somewhere and we can monitor her. " Calum shut his eyes tightly and pressed the button. " Good job." He patted his shoulder while Calum felt the regret build up in him.

Although he should've known better not to trust Louis's dad, he knows too much about him,or his own family that he wouldn't let out to the public. " Perhaps that you wouldn't tell none of your bandmates the night of the ' accident', nor our future plans. Louis's dad added, sitting in his chair. " ...I am already working with you like a dog." he grinned and leaned further into his chair. " and leash. '' A woman's voice appeared behind him as he turned around to see a woman around in her 20s, or 30s. " Ah, Chole! You've made it!" Louis's Dad greeted her with a big smile and hugged her. " Victor, It's been so long since the last time we've spoken about the project about Ms. Winchester. " She pressed her lips together and looked at him. " Speaking of the project: how is that going exactly?" she tilted her head to the side. " It's gonna be good. We've already sent her to a different timeline. " She gasped in delight. " Perfect. What time did you send her in?"

" In The 70s, Lady. "

Chole turned to face me. " Good, so she can show us some information about the mafia. And maybe my father too." She mumbled the last part to herself. Calum narrowed his eyes at her as she looked at the cameras that are on the wall-well they're montire of different people that they've been sending people in all past times before 2023. It was Victor's idea to maybe change the ' future' but what future do we have to change? Because I don't see any changes happening. Now Chole mentioned her father in the 70s...I am scared. Jess is a very skilled person, so she can handle herself unlike others. The others didn't make it, nor complete the task that Chole had sent them on, but there were the challenges. All of them were hard for them.

" Others? Have they completed their tasked?" Victor looked at her, " Yes, they did. " She hummed and kept her eyes on the montiro. " Good to hear. The more information that we have-the better for all of us. " Victor glanced at her before he leaned over to her and whispered something into her ear. " Calum, you can go now." I nodded and left them alone. Chole let out a sighed deeply, " Are you sure that we can trust him?" He looked offended by that. " Don't doubt me about the people that I've choice to help us with this project of ours. " He responded as she stared at him. " I doubt the lack of your careless about the things you do with the family, and what happened to your son. " She walked over to the small mini fridge. " Your poor son wasn't ready for the task, or this project. " She recalled.

" To me, he was ready for the task and challenags to face. But in your eyes-he wasn't." He face her as she made eye contact with him. " hm, He wasn't right for any of those task because I knew of what kind of dynasty for him. When I first sent him on that task...I knew the danger for everyone and shouldn't I have let you talk me in continue him doing those tasks!" She hissed. Victor chuckled a little and crossed his arms over his chest. " You're right about that. He wasn't my favortive of my kids. Isn't bad that I am glad that he is dead..?" Chole disguest looked by this. " You're not perfect either."

" At least my kids love me and alive." She quickly dodged his attacked as she glared daggers at him. " We may be enemies first, but we do want the same thing." Victor breaths heavily and glares at her. " Right. " He pour himself a glass of wine. " You and I are more better then our parents. Your dad and my mom weren't exactly.." He give her a looked as she shuts herself up which she clears her throat. " Anyways, luckily, her brothers haven't find out of what's gonna on if they did then we know what to do to them." She reminded him. " Yes, of course. " He left his legs up onto the table and leaned back into the chair. " Isn't hard them being away from your kids? And husband?" He questioned as she side-eye him. " Sometimes, Billy understands why I am doing this...even though i had to lie about this and play around to get the answers that I seek from the people. " Victor glanced up at her. " Like Charles?" She could only nodded at the mentioned of his named.

" Special him."

" Are you and him..still together?"

" I broke it off. "

" Why?" He sat up straight which she waved him off. " This isn't time for talking about that. " Chole spat. Victor looked away, " Fair enough, have you ever thought of asking your mother about this?" He asked as she let out a hummed in a agreement. " I have. " She took a moment to answered again; " But she wasn't much of a help." She said as she took a sip of her wine. They sat in silence while watching the montire of the people in different timelines. Then she came to realize something.

" You wanted him to fail...didn't you?"

========================================================

Calum plopped on the couch with the long sighed leaving his lips. " What's wrong with you?" Luke asked as he peek over his armed, " Just having a rough day..." He answered. " Why? Did something happened..?" Calum opened his mouth to answered, but couldn't. He sweared not to tell anyone about what's gonna, or else. " No..." He rolled onto his side. " okay, Micheal went to visit his grandma for a couple of months." Ashton told us, entering the living room. " Really? " Luke looked over at him. " Yeah, he missed her and the little girl that they've adopted too."

" Who's the adopted girl's named again?"

" Holly." Micheal answered as Calum eyes widen in shocked by hearing that named. He remember that Perrie had a first kid when she was 20 year old, but wasn't ready and Holly was in danger. So she decide to make Jess to give Holly Ashton's which he sent to his grandma. " How's that gonna?" " It's gonna good....I think..." he memored. Calum nodded slightly and looked at him, " you think?" He asked as he sighed softly and rubbed back of his necked softly. " I mean, Ash has told me that everything was good until his grandma was getting really sick over last year to the point that Holly had to call him about it. So that's why he is actually gonna go over there. " He explained as I stared blinkly at him before nodded. " Oh, okay."

" yeah, but why didn't he tell none of us about it?"

" I don't know, but you should ask him when he comes back. "

" Right. " He glanced down at his lap before went inside his through then sighed deeply. Micheal took a notice of this, " You alright? You seem awfully." He pointed out as he quickly looked at him and beamed at him. " y-yeah! I am fine!" He told him as Micheal looked at him. " You sure? You can tell me if anything bothering you." he ressursed him which he could only responded with a nod.

" I know, don't worry about me."

" Okay." He watched him exits the living room as Cal plopped onto the couch with a thud. Why is he letting Victor doing this to him? Isn't fair for him, or either Jess...or anyone else. He didn't have a choice when he come with a flies about his past that he didn't even told Jess about. If he did-he could only hopes that she can forgive him.
