Sydney's POV

We all turned to look at my Father who had a blank expression.

"Yes Mabud?" My Mother turned to my Father and they stared into each other's eyes for a second. He was the first one to break contact and looked at his other daughter.

"I asked you not to call.-"

"I don't give a rat's ass what you ask me to do and not to do," My Mother crossed her arms and pursed her lips.

"You're still so stubborn, I see."

"You're still Fathering other kids, I see."

My brother touched mom's arm and they looked at each other. Mom breathed in and turned to look back at each other.

"This is Cecily, she is my youngest daughter at the manor. My step-son and wife shall be arriving by the end of the day, but...That isn't what I came to talk to you about." He looked at the three of us, only to see our faces didn't waver. "Sydney...You husband. He is a great danger to us all. I told you that I killed his grandfather, so I don't understand why he'd..." he trailed off and looked at the island.

"He said, that I had to pay off the debuts that you owed him and some of his fellow partners. He also has been paying for Mom's.-"

"Sydney...." Mom put her hand over mine and shook her head.

Dad squinted his eyes and creased his eyebrows. "Tweety-bird, continue. To pay off Mom's what?"

I looked at Mom and watched as she took a deep breath, closing her eyes slowly she gripped my hand and nodded.

"Paying Mom's hospital bills off...She has cancer," I squeezed Mom's hand softly.

The way Dad's looked at Mom changed, even something inside changed as he stared at her. "No...no. Baby...Why didn't you tell me?" He reached out for her and she moved her other hand away.

"You were gone...Who was there to tell? Who was there to help? I had finish raising our kids by myself, I can get though this with my kids and myself." She gave him a weak smile before getting up. She kissed Damien's cheek and than mine before walking out the kitchen.

Dad was looking down at the counter and took a deep breath before looking at Damien. "Go check on her, please. Cecily, go to your room. Sydney and I need to talk." They both nodded and left the room.

We stared at each for a moment before I raised my eyebrow and followed my arms.

"Tell me how Aleksandr and you met, this might help."

I bit the inside of my cheeks for a moment, I was hesitant on telling him, but when I opened my mouth to speak a different voice beat me to it.

"How about I tell you how I met your daughter myself,"

My eyes went wide as I turned from where the voice was coming from. I was surprised that he was standing here in my Father's manor. How the hell did he get in?

My Father didn't flinch at Aleksandr's presence. He nodded and offered him a seat.

"You don't seem surprised that I am here," Alek unbuttoned his jacket and sat down on the stool next to me.
