Out of the Darkness (Broken Heirs #2)

Bestfriends forever or not.

Shaira was in her taycan. It was quite a cool day in Milan. Her face mellowed in a small smile as she saw the scenic view. Shaira was meeting Daniel regarding the case. She hadn't met him since she came from his office. Shaira knew Daniel was not a fool. Actually, He is far from a fool. He needed a lead and Shaira had just given him that. Rest he would know everything.

"Is something wrong, Shaira?"

Christina said as she looked at the backseat. Shaira gave her a small smile reassuring her everything is okay.

Nothing is wrong.

What can even be wrong?

...
"Good morning,  Miss Shaira. Daniel is running late. Can you wait at the lobby for him?

"Yes Sure."

Shaira smiled as the receptionist looked at her star-stuck. Shaira had sent Christina for some important work at the headquarters. She had her flight today. So she was all alone in the law firm.

Shaira looked at her watch when someone came and sat with her. The VIP waiting area was secluded and Shaira was confused. There were many seats that were vacant. She was the only one sitting there afterall.

"Hey Shacks."

Shaira eyes snapped towards the intruder. Her eyes welled as she saw Diaz sitting beside her. Diaz was still the same. Stiing in his crisp suit and pants. His face showed a rare kindness which was only reserved for Shaita. She was his sister after all.

"Hey Diaz. How are you?"

"I am good. How about you?"

Shaira didn't felt any hint of sadness, anger or anything. He was still sweet to her after what she had done. He was unpredictable. Maybe that was the trait  his profession have him.

"You have grown up."

Diaz said as his eyes matched with Shaira. Shaira cracked a smile at him. One of the sweatest smile ever.

"i would have never thought that I would hear this from you."

"You could if you have come to me once."

Shaira eyes widen when he saw Diaz eyes welling up.

"We thought you didn't need us anymore. We were not enough for you. Mom and Dad were always worried for you and for every festival, Your table was always reserved."

"Why did you leave us, Shacks?"

Shaira eyes welled up as a year slipped through her eyes. She had realised how much she had hurt her family. A family who loved her through and through. Who loved her all her imperfections. Her fear and insecurities led her to this path. Oh, how much she was regretting that. She had never seen Diaz like that. He was always strong in front of her. He was alwyas standing like a wall for her. He was at her side. Even now, he was not angry but worried why she chose to be alone?

"You were a perfect family, Diaz. As much as of a fool I sound I was always the breaking point of a family. My insecurities won me over when someone barged in my safe zone and broke everything I build that year. I wanted to come back for so long but before it was my insecurity that I will destroy your family and after some years passed, the guilt was unbearable."

"You silly girl, How many times did we tell you. Nothing could break us. After you went. The family dinners were not family dinners anymore. We have always considered you in our family. How much time more Shaira till you understand that all your insecurities are not gonna affect us. Even if Daniel was angry. We could see how much he was suffering. He would never tell you that."

Shaira eyes showed a ray of emotions. Sadness, shock and everything.

"Aunt and Uncle are not angry?"
