Out of the Darkness (Broken Heirs #2)

No Truths Only Lies

"Money can't buy you family."

Shaira shut her eyes close and fisted to her side. She can't do it anymore. Drenched in the rain, her face remained emotionless as she sat on the bench in a park near the  apartments. The silent tears poured down on her face.

Her hands were cold as she tried to wave the pain away but it was not going at all. Daniel was hurt. She understands that but it didn't give him the right to hurt her. She doesn't have a home. She doesn't even have someone to call to.

Maybe Christina?

No, she was her secretary not her therapist.

Sabrina?

No, she can't do that too. She was not her friend anymore.

Ezra or Dexton?

No. They will ask questions.

Maximus or Alkov?

No. Sebestian was his best friend and Alkov would be too angry to even save Daniel from his wrath.

Samuel?

No. He is on tour.

Sebestian?

She wanted to talk to him. She wanted to be in her safe space again like she was years before. It was the same lonely feeling she had when she went for drinks with Sabrina. Daniel was there right at the end for Sabrina and Shaira was still there. She and her drunken self when no one asked where she was. She was all alone. Alone then ever before.

She had lost everyone again.

"Mom. Are you there?"

Shaira said as her voice cracked.

"I hope you are watching me from heaven."

"Maybe, I should come here soon. We would have drinks together. I would spend all my time with you. I hope I don't make you remember your loss cause then I would be so lonely even in heaven. You will love me. Right?"

Shaira hates this. She always hated that.

This urge to disappear. Shaira put her hands on her face. Her eyes going blurry with tears.

Shaira looked at the sky when she didn't feel raindrops anymore. Her eyes widened when she saw an umbrella covering her. Shaira's eyes dimmed when she saw Sebestian standing there. His hair is unruly. His overcoat got wet as he pulled his umbrella on her.

He was standing in front of her hiding from everyone. He didn't say anything. Shaira was looking tired. Her eyes don't shine like they always do when she sees him. It was the same as before.

"Maximus is worried about you. Dexton and Ezra were looking at your childhood photo albums every time I went there. Sabrina is jealous of why Daniel is the only one you tell all your secrets to. Daniel, well he is lost. So much anger after you went. Alkov don't talk but still went to your room hundreds of times after you left. You are not lonely. There is no need to think about going far away when you can just go to Vanedestine Estate or Lawrence estate or a floor below you. Sabrina would be ecstatic."

He heard it. Shaira eyes snapped. Her inner thoughts which she said out aloud. He heard it all. Instead ignoring her he came to her. He hated her. He still came.

Shaira didn't have anything to say. She hurt them. What a foolish she was? All because of this man's father but the worst part is- if she had the chance to go back when she fall in love with this person. She would do that again. She would love this person all over again. He was her lifeline but that time she would love those moments a hundred times more.

Oh lord knows, she would give up everything to get back to the time when he was hers. To love and cherish.

"I love you."
