27| Unveiling Discretions (2)

  Lucian tapped his hand on the table, brows furrowed, hands clasped together on his lap as he glanced at Orea who sat a table away. "So, you mean this person can tell you who did it?" Orea nodded, Lucian released a breath, running his hand through his hair. " Orea... I don't believe Carol would kill anyone either but that doesn't mean you have to get yourself in danger for this, why don't you just leave the police to their job?

"I can't, that Mother fucked bastard killed one of my best friend and framed the other one, I can't just let this be without doing anything... I can't, I can't let him get away with it." Tears polled out of her eyes as she hug her knitted jacket to herself, eyes puffed, hair loose and in disaray. Lucian frowned, hands tapping against his lap. "Please, come with me... I.. am having issues with Ceaser at the moment and, I can't, I have no one else to turn to."

"How sure are you that this person knows what they are doing?"

"Carol told me something, she told me... She told me about the story behind the piseongs domain, the killer came from their." Her eyes darted around, hands shaking as she moved closer to whisper to him. "She says there was a survivor that night. That survivor is the sister of the murderer... If we can just find and ask her, and I know where she is." Lucian nodded, though she could see it in his eyes that he didn't believe her.

"You don't believe me?" More tears welled up in her eyes. "I know what I am saying, that bastard is just like his father... He... He killed people and now my friends." Her eyes were wild as she looked around once again before leaning Closer to speak to him. "I can find him. I will find him and tell him this."

"Orea..." he hesitated. "I don't think-"

"No please," she cried, running over to him, still hesitating she asked, "can I... Can I touch you?" Lucian frowned before he nodded, at his reply she let out a cry of relief and jumped in his arms. "Please, please don't send me away... I know what I am doing, I am not crazy.... Please we have to do this, for Ana"

Lucian pinched his temples. "Where do we find this... Person?" Orea leaned away from him, body shaking, eyes wild as she pushed away as if burned by him, tears filled her wild eyes, "Orea.. are you okay?" He made to touch her but she flinched, pushing him away to which he hit his knees on the edge of the table, "damn!" He cursed but wasn't giving time to cradle his leg before he heard Orea's scream as she bolted out the door. "Orea?" He called after her but she screamed, running away from him.

"Creep!"

"Creep!!" She yelled twice.

"Stay away!" She kept screaming, Lucian couldn't help but glance around, Incase there was an officer around to help them, she kept running no matter how hard he called after her, no matter how hard he ran, she ran harder and faster but the wound on his leg wouldn't let him get to her, when he finally caught her, they were in a secluded part of town, before it stood an abandoned house close to the piseongs domain.

"Orea?" He called, moving closer to her bit by bit as she stood by the door of the place. "Move away from there Orea." He demanded, moving closer to her bit by bit yet Orea wouldn't listen to as she walked slowly to the door, hands on the handle and ready to pull it open. "You don't want to go in there Orea!" He yelled, gaze hardened, voice think with warning as he ran to her, Orea turned to look at him only to see shadows wrapping around him, she let out a loud scream before opening the door and running in.

Without hesitation, Lucian ran after her with heavy footsteps that drowned the pitter patter of her legs, Orea ran straight for the basement and opened it, whatever she saw made her stop in her steps before Lucian appeared behind her, Without looking around the room, he grabbed her by her arm gaze furious, jaw and fist clenched as he yelled at her. "What the hell is wrong with you? I told you not to cime in!"

"L-Lucian... You need to see this." She whispered, pupils dilated, body trembling, even her knees buckled behind her, Lucian looked around the room, no inch of surprise on his face as he took in the dimly lit room room. Orea yanked his hand away from her and walked in, on the walls, there were pictures of different people, women and men alike, even Ana's picture was there, so was Carol and Ceaser's. The walls were painted pink, a lone bed sat at the far end of the basement including a chair.

Dark clothes like those she had seen the killers wear was hanged on the wall away. Orea turned to Lucian, eyes blurred with tears. "I Lied." Her voice soft as she looked back to the room, tracing it with her hand as he gaze down casted, her shoulders hunched. "Carol told me who the killers is." She turned her sharp gaze to him. "Why did you do it?"

Lucian stayed quiet for a while before a grin spread out his lips. "You caught me." The basement door closed with a loud thud to which Orea flinched. Lucian placed his hands in his pocket and walked over to her, his steps unhurried and calm.

"Liliana was your sister." Her voice cracked. "Carol trusted you... Why would you do this to them?"

Lucian's gaze softened at the mention of His sister before his gaze hardened, he walked over to his bed and picked up a knife. "I will make it quick." He told her, walking over to her again, Orea's eyes dashed between the door and him, dull and unhurried before she turned her head away.

" She was more than a sister." Orea ignored him. "Tell me why you did it, she... She was also your sister." Lucian was close to her now. But Orea leaned against the wall and slid down, eyes dull, broken and unable to comprehend what she had seen.

"I had no choice," Though she had expected his words, her mind still couldn't believe it. "She was going to reveal my secret, I tried to stop her bit she wouldn't listen. Lil was about to betray me, I couldn't take it, family don't betray family. She needed to learn, I tried disciplining her but she wouldn't learn so... I did what I had to do." He grabbed Orea's hair, knife positioned on her stomach as he pulled her up.

"What about Carol? She loves you!"

"She was a necessary sacrifice. Just like you will be, don't worry, I will make it quick."

His words made her scoff, what was she expecting? A man who bad killed his own sister wouldn't find it he's to frame the woman who loved him. "You are a monster!"

"I know!" He pressed the knife harder into her lungs and Orea closed her eyes. "I will bury you in a better place." His voce held some kind of promise but Orea wouldn't flinch, her eyes opened again and she looked him in the eye, expecting some kind of sympathy for the victims he had killed but saw none. Just when the knife had dug in her skin to the point of causing pain, a loud loud bang echoed including the sound of gunshot, Orea's scream was swallowed up by Lucian's own as he clutched his shut hand, leaving the knife in his hand to make a clang to the floor. "Ah!" He shouted.

Orea quickly moved away from him, running to Ceaser who had a gun in him hand which he lowered as she pulled him in for a hug, Orea's sobs filled the air as the other police forces filled the room, apprehending Lucian who wouldn't stop screaming and shouting. "You are safe." Cease kept whispering though Orea was Sure it was meant for him more than her.
