Strings of life: Fate

Wake up call

Liam's POV
To be honest this case is complicated... it wasn't the easiest, and I know how it works. Unfortunately it's not the first time the authority would drop a case like this. No witnesses, no identity nothing it's like the one who did that is a ghost. I have a headache!

As I look at her I could only think of one way to help her. And I was 100% sure she was also in danger and the next target. Her and her baby brother were lucky they weren't with their family on that plane.

when she knew what I was thinking she watched me with disgust, I felt something and it was the first time I felt this unknown feeling.
She was so small, but so fierce and so strong at the same time. I wanted to help her like it was the only thing I had to do, like it was meant to be.

As I watch her hugging her little brother my heart broke, I watched her carefully. She was short with long dark curly hair, and gold Honey tan. she looked back at me and I could see her pink cheeks and those beautiful eyes. I guess those eyes were what I liked the most and I don't know why I couldn't bear seeing her crying.

"Lucy, can you wait in the car for a minute please?"
"But Liam!"
"Do what I say I'll be there in a minute we're done with the questions" I could see that she was furious but I didn't care.

I turn to face Sora and an absurdity pop up in my mind. No! No way! Don't say it. Go find Lucy in the car and just do your job normally. I didn't listen to that voice and
One of the most absurd phrase come out of my mouth.

"I can help you, I know you'll be in danger you can come live with me just for a while." She look at me like I was crazy. Fuck!
"I mean it's to keep you guys safe look at it like I was your bodyguard, nothing more if you'll be uncomfortable with me you can go with officer Cole"
Why did I said that?

Sora's POV
I thought I was electrocuted when these words come out of his mouth.
"you do know that I have a condo? And I think that I have enough of saving for at least 2 months"

"If the person is after your whole family they probably know everything about you, I only suggest it for you and your brother" He got a point there.
"I don't know I'll sorted it out. I don't want to be a burden for you and especially for your partner. Is she always like that?"

"You will not be a burden and you'll only see her at the office. And what do you mean by that? Like what?"

"Don't get me wrong but she clearly doesn't respect me." He stop a short moment and then said "don't worry about her she's just in a bad mood. Just think about it, we'll guard your house today and you'll tell me your decision by tomorrow and I'll contact you if I have news." Then he left.

I was alone with Simon and everything slapped me. I looked around me and all I could see was the memories we shared in this house. Simon starts to cry it was time for him to eat he was walking around like a crazy little hamster.

It was late I looked through the window and see a car parked in front of my house I guess it was one of Liam's men.

I wasn't hungry so I just shower, Simon and I went to bed. He was asleep but I couldn't sleep. I was empty the biggest challenge is that tomorrow I will have to identify my father's body and make sure it's him and then prepare the funeral.

Huh? It's weird... Why aunt Nina didn't call me and pay me a visit? Maybe she doesn't know. I take my phone and call aunt Nina but she didn't pick up. Well I'll call her tomorrow. I was about to call grandma but it's too early to disturb her. I can't tell her the truth for now I'll just tell her the flight was canceled.

I was thinking about everything how my life
could change like that. I had dreams of the day I'll get married and Dad would walk me down the aisle. Oh dad! Why? Who could do this to you? Mom! Sean, Samuel... I should have been there for them I should have tell them I loved them more!
And then I asked myself. what should I do?

A week later I still couldn't give Liam an answer, and there was still no news about my family.
After all the paper work and my Dad's funeral I was dead inside. I felt lonely, and during the funeral aunt Nina Wasn't there we went to her house her husband who was my father employee told me she was on a business trip. Weird!

All my parents business partner were there, Liam and Lucy were also there but I felt like it was a fake funeral no one seems to care honestly, eventually there were some fake tears from his "friends" but I didn't really feel comfortable with the people who were there. My brothers' friends were also there and they were the only ones besides me who was really sad. I didn't cry, I couldn't cry... I held Simon and we both put our roses on the coffin first. I couldn't bear it anymore I ran and went to my car and breakdown with Simon on my laps. I didn't speak to Liam since the last time we spoke. And every single time I'm thinking about his offer.

Eventually I told My grandmother the truth she took the news really badly and she wasn't herself anymore, she always told me how my dad was the only child who makes her feel like she's a great mother.

I guess the others didn't care they didn't contact me after the news because they still felt jealous and envious, they never liked my dad he was the youngest and his siblings always treated him like an outsider and until now I don't know why...
As for my mom she has a sister but she only knows my mother existence for money. 'I guess that's why my parents cherish their children so much' I thought to myself

All the week I thought about his proposition. But by the end of the week another thing crossed my mind. My Dad had money and legally it should belong to Mom, Sean, Samuel me and Simon if anything happened to him. so it should keep us safe for a moment.

Beep beep! I heard my alarm

"Urrrrrgh!!! mom! I'm not a child anymore why did you put an alarm to wake me up!! Jesus" Beep Beep! "Mom!! Turn it off!!" I kept yelling like that for a moment and then I realize I was alone and I set my own alarm oh Jesus I'm going crazy... I looked at my phone and it was 6am. I'm surprised that Simon slept all night long without waking up.

I got up and jump out of bed, I went to my little man's room and see him sleeping peacefully sucking on three fingers, I smile and a tear fell down on my cheek while watching him. Will I ever be able to give him the family he deserves? I'm waiting for the worst news for the rest of my family... No Sora stop thinking! They are fine! You will be fine it will be you two against the world until you reunite with the rest of your family again.

As I was thinking I Snap out of my thoughts and ask myself out loud "Why did I put my alarm so early again?" And then my brain started to work, oh! I have an appointment with the family lawyer this morning who is by the way aunt Nina but I didn't hear from her a long time ago, so it was weird when her assistant called me.

I quickly start to get ready. And when I finish the babysitter came on time, Simon was already up and grumpy, I showered him with love and kisses even before he was able to get himself in the mood... I didn't want to leave him today. After I made sure to leave all the informations for the babysitter like I was an overprotective mom, I give him a last kiss (more like a lot of kisses on his puffy cheeks) and then I headed to the front door and left the house

That's it guys ❤️ what do you think of aunt Nina? Why do you think no one was really sincere at the funeral?
