CHAPTER 82: HAUNTED LINEAGE

"I saw on the Verse that you were approved to join the newest crew of leaders of the FO. Congratulations, cousin. That is something remarkable. It deserves a celebration." The so called Timoffey Bethervan said cheeringly while having a pleasant chat with his same age cousin, Isaac. The gathering at the house of Angelina was being great for everyone. The aura of the house held a feeling of light serenity, family and festivity.

Isaac had a yellow drink in hand and so did his cousin. They were next to the pool area, which was brightly illuminated for the occasion. The great view of downtown looked even more spectacular that night. Some of the guests were taking it as a background for stunning pictures.

Timoffey had the same age as Isaac, same stature and their face looked very similar. No one could deny they were blood related. When it comes to Timoffey's comment about Isaac's position at the Opus, he preferred to stay humble, because he was actually invited to that position and he didn't need to apply for it. "I had my doubts about going back to the Federal Opus, but now that it is under new management, I think it might go to a higher place. I am also excited about leading the training of the recent generation of soldiers."

"Our family is probably the most powerful in the country, right? I am getting a lot of free stuff just because of my surname. Yesterday I was in a store in those commercial buildings downtown, and when the cashier read my BioID he gave me a 90% discount, and I kindly accepted it obviously." The boy laughed and Isaac just smiled.

"You can say that." He affirmed and drank a bit of his cup. He spotted his mother approaching them with an unpleasant look over her face. Isaac's smile faded away because he knew something was off.

"Could you excuse us, Timo?" She said in a polite tone, but her voice was rough as a qerreol plate.

"Sure, Aunt Angie." The boy smiled and walked away from there, then Angelina got inside the house and Isaac followed. They ended up in the front door, which was closed.

"What is wrong?" Isaac asked. "Your expressions are unpleasant to look at, mother."

"Blanca is on the other side of that door and she is demanding to have a talk with you."

"Blanca? Why did not you expelled her away from here?" He was not shocked. Isaac knew Blanca would do something like that eventually, but he was irritated that his mother didn't do anything to shoo her away.

"There are several photographers outside. It would be shameful to have me discussing with a 22 year old girl in front of hundreds of lenses, Isaac. Please, deal with her, and do it quickly. I don't want the press picturing her in front of our house more than they already are." Then she walked away back to her party, leaving Isaac with the biggest problem of his life.

He opened the door to catch a sight of the girl waiting for a response. She dressed like she was invited to the party. When she heard opening sounds from her side, Blanca turned around and smiled when she saw the love of her life, Isaac Bethervan. "Get inside." He said strictly, giving her space to enter the house.

"Why you sound so nervous, my love? Come on, put on a smile!" She tried to get closer to the boy, but he lifted his index finger and positioned it in front of her.

"What are you doing here, Blanca? Are you here to put up another dramatic teenager scene? Because if your answer is either yes or no, you are invited to go back to wherever you came previously."

"Don't be so mean, my love. I am going back to visit your house because we are having a baby together. Have you forgot about it?" Her voice was very sweet, but the intentions behind it were incredibly mean.

"The creature inside your body does not have any type of relation with me and you are aware of it. You do not want to start a useless war with me and my family at this very moment, Blanca."
