There were lingering silence that fall on the Damouche Manor, The whole "family " was dressed in blackmrewdy to mourn the loved family member Mister Gwen .
"Come dear sister , the carriage is about to leave ." Aisha holds Aida hand before carefully leading her , while Annette followed holding a lot of guilt , she wanted her sisters to know that the reason behind their fathers death was because of Sean.
But She couldn't bring herself to tell them ,no not yet not right now .
_______________________ ______
The funeral finally had begun the priest was saying their prayers , Aida had been crying on Aisha shoulder . Silviya had been crying as well at least it looked like it .
The only people who weren't were Annette and Sean both stood in slience. Sean had a poker face on , showing no emotion or remorse in his eyes . Annette had a face of anger and relief. Angry that Sean had just murder her father but relief that Aida should not have to suffer any longer .
Annette had felt that maybe she was not worthy of being daughter of mister Gwen ,she was supposed to be crying at the fact she lost her father. The man who raised her but .... She Couldn't bring herself too do that, soo she continued to stare at the ground , slowly looking at Sean who also met her gaze .
His eyes told her many thing , they starred at like he knew, she was the one who witnessed her father death It left a feeling nauseous.

A day after the funeral
Aisha had her concerns , she thought the real cause of their fathers death was because of Lady Silviya . Since the death of Gwen Silviya was quite pleased , she had thought it was gift by God telling her that can forward with her plan , now that the triplets were no more had protection. Aisha knew so did Annette they both knew from now on they were no longer safe .

"Sean , what bring you too the Bird house today?" Annette turned to face Sean. "Nothing , just needed a place to clear my mind . " Sean smiles at her before continuing "how have you been lately, I've taken notice that you and I don't spend time together as we use to."
"W-well I just needed sometime to myself with all that's well....happened its..um a lot to take in ." Annette nervously looks at Sean "Hmm.. I see well then i hope you've been coping well remember you can always trust me ,okay." A shiver rolled down Annette back not liking how Sean worded that , it's like he knew she was the one who watched him murder her father .
"Sean ...."Annette whispered to him trying to find the courage to ask him "W-why did you k-kill my father no I mean Mister Gwen ?" There it is the the big question that left a thick layer of silence in the room .
She noticed how Sean curled his hand in to a fist a frown displaying on his lips " You know why Ann." His voice was soft yet stern not wanting to make her feel bad , he wall towards her while doing so Annette took a step back . This made Sean eyes widen for a quick second.
"Do you hate me , Ann?" Sean asked
"I-im not sure , I'm confused ... I'm not sad of his death like I should be like how a daughter should be .. I should've cried like how Aisha and Aida did .
I'm
Just stuck and confused and I feel all of this thing Sean... i-i just wanted my sister safe
Not too witness a whole murder ... of my father's murder ... His death , I feel guilty cause I-I .. I don't know anymore.".
"I'm sorry " was all Sean could say .
"It's not you fault , he was bound to die sooner or later." Tears slowly trickled down her eyes.
