~ Madelyn ~

Aleks stopped the car on the plane runway before getting out. There was a jet waiting for us not too far away and I stared at it mesmerised.

Aleks said something to the flight attendant who was waiting by the jet before walking over to my side of the car and holding the door open for me.

I got out of the car with my eyes still glued to the jet in front of me. Aleks just chuckled at my shocked expression as he led me towards the jet. I'd never been on a plane before.

As we walked someone lightly grabbed my arm from behind me and I spun around. It was a man. I shook my arm out of his hold as I stared at his face. He looked equally as shocked to see me as I did.

"Madelyn?" He said surprised and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Did I know this man?

We both stood there frozen. He wore a shocked expression to match my confused one. I inspected his face looking for anything familiar.

Dark hair , hazel eyes and a scar... A scar across his left cheekbone.

My brain clicked and immediately, in one shaky exhale, all the air left my body. My eyes filled with tears and I struggled to find the words as I stared at him.

"...Sebastian?" I finally said in a breathless whisper and let out a heavy breath.

"It's me." He nodded over and over. "It's me Madelyn."

Without another thought I leapt at him as I choked out a sob. He grabbed me holding me tightly and I buried my face in his chest.

"You're all grown up." He whispered against my head and I let out a soft laugh.

"Well it's only been like 20 years." I said holding on to him tightly.

"Shut up." He muttered and I laughed pulling away to look at him.

I lifted a shaky hand trailing my fingers along the scar on his cheek. It gave him a rugged and protective look. I still remember the day he got it. Our father was angry at me. It was my 5th birthday and I had asked him for something. He got mad and flung his glass filled with scotch at me. Sebastian shielded me but the glass cut across his face.

After that Sebastian was sent away to a boarding school . That day was the last day I saw my brother and it has been 20 years since.

"I love the family reunion but we need to go." Aleks said interrupting our moment.

Sebastian nodded at him and gave me a smile. He lifted my hand off his face and gave it a slight squeeze before walking towards the jet.

Aleks followed him and went up the steps to the jet. I made no move to follow him and he turned around when he noticed.

"You coming?" He asked and I stood there lost.

"I don't know?" I said but it came out sounding like a question.

"Are you asking me or telling me?" He said with a laugh and I bit my bottom lip.

"I'm scared." I finally said.

"Take a risk." He said extending his hand towards me. "What have you got to lose Madelyn?"

At those words I took his hand following him on to the jet because ,if I was being completely honest with myself , I had nothing to lose.

We took a seat on the jet. Sebastian said he had to update our family and began walking away but I grabbed his hand.

"Sebastian you know I'm not..." I muttered trying to find the words. Would the fact that I wasn't really his sister change our relationship?
