Her Seven Deadly Brothers (Part 1 and 2)

Chapter 59 + Epilogue

#Warning- Do not miss the note at end!

William and Eleanora sat in silence of his study. Just an hour ago, she had a conversation with a professional psychiatrist. She had a whole lot going in her mind but after talking to someone about what she encountered briefly, she felt less afraid and hesitation in front of William.

She had desired to share everything with William. He had listened carefully even better than the psychiatrist, giving her time to put up with her emotions very well. His silence made it clear that he was there for her and he was not going anywhere.

"I want to know the truth, Will. I want to know everything." She never asked them about why they killed her mother and stepfather. But today it felt like she had to know. Everything seemed far too connected to even ignore.

"I was waiting for you to ask." William said while he searched throught something in his drawers.

Finally finding what he was looking for, he handed her an envelope.

She carefully opened it. Her eyes widened seeing the picture.

It was her mother, David and Gianni together sitting in a coffee shop.

"What does it mean?" She asked confused.

"Acacia and David were working with Gianni." Nora was shocked, hearing these words.

"B-but why would they do this? What would they have gotten in return?"

"Acacia ran away from home with her boyfriend after stealing a lot of money. Alexander was ofcourse enraged and he wanted nothing but to kill them. However, he never managed to find them. It was like they vanished from this planet. What Alexander did not know that Luciano was helping Acacia to escape. So Alexander get mad and everything. As Alexander started to make rash decisions under you could say alcohol influence, the heads of Romano and Gray family- Allesandro De'Romano and Xander O'Gray who were our business partners, suggested that we need a next head of family. Luciano wanted to become the next head of our family but it didn't happen. Despite me being only 19 years old at that time, I sat on our family's throne. The right age of it is actually 25." Nora listened to his words carefully.

"Two years later, I banished Alexander out of the country because he was so mad that he started to harm our brothers." Nora flinched at his words. Lucifer's words from that day started to ring in her mind again. She had understood him and it really hurt her knowing that she was right. Alexander had indeed hurt them enough to leave a mental scarring behind. The thought made her want to curl up.

"This picture in your hand is about a week ago, we met you-- Nora followed his words and looked at it once again 'a week ago Acacia and David were killed'-- that time we did not know you existed. We came to your house that day simply to interrogate Acacia about her intentions with meeting up with Gianni all of a sudden. While I was interrogating her, Hunter and Damon searched around her room and they across some interesting documents." He paused and looked straight in Nora's eyes, silently telling her that she was not going to like what she was going to hear.

"W-what was it?"

"Acacia and David had willingly sold you to Gianni for hefty amount of million dollars." Nora was horrified hearing his words. This time, however, William did not pause but kept speaking, filling her with required information.

"We had to kill them. Otherwise after you turn 25, you would be forced to marry him. It had your and their signatures over it. Truthfully, I mostly killed them out of rage. In your birthday party, when I asked you in front of everyone that if you want to marry Gianni, this was for the same reason. When the legal way did not work, he resorted to using his sick ways to get you." Nora shuddered at the thought of marrying Gianni.
