I opened my eyes and it was still dark , lily was fast asleep so I carefully got up from bed and went downstairs . Dad was sleeping on the couch soundly but there were many papers scattered on the table usually when he is late he sleeps there but he never brought work papers at home , I went close and took one of the papers in my hand it was a detailed report about Alex and Emma . I gulped and slowly picked all the papers I found pictures underneath them , I grabbed all the stuff and went to the kitchen and sat on the floor behind the cabinets and read all the papers. It was about thier family baground and it contained each and everything about them , I looked through all the photos and all of them were clicked after college.

I took a deep breath and picked up all the photos and papers and placed them back in thier places and tip toed upstairs. I went inside the bedroom and thankfully lily was still sleeping . I walked to the window and revinded everything that happened so far . Those reports were absolutely clean and I think that's the biggest problem , Emma's sudden entry in my life her dad working with Drew and Alex ? I don't think if I have become suspicious or something but something is really wrong around me.

I went downstairs and this time straight away I walked to sky and waked him up , "what are you doing?" He said slightly opening his eyes . " I will go to meet Drew tomorrow. " I said shaking him harder , he got up frustrated and started his same lecture that he wants me to be safe and all , "you fear that Drew might seek revenge, Mom and even lily thinks the same and to be honest I feel the same . " I said cutting him off . "Then why do you want meet him ?" He said . "Why should I stay away from him ? If i don't meet him i will always fear him ." I said picking up the papers on the table and pretending that i am shocked by seeing them . Dad snatched them from me and said "do whatever you want to do just make sure you don't die !" And he left into the direction of his bedroom .

I rolled my eyes and took laptop and sat on the couch and Googled every single thing about him and noted everything and packed a small bag with all my necessities and went up to take a shower and got dressed into my casuals . I booked a cab online and it was already 5 in the morning so i managed to get one , according to my research he lived in a luxurious hotel and it took only 1 hour to reach there . It was easy to sneak in but I didn't knew the room number so I enquired on the reception but she denied telling me under thier stupid rules so I waited in the waiting area for some miracle to pop up in my mind and finally it did .

I got up and straight went into the elevator And clicked a random floor number which was 28 , I intentionally bumped into a room service guy and pretended to get sprain in my leg . He picked me up and asked me my room number but I acted to faint and just said "I live with Drew Roberts." He took me to the elevator and we went to floor 34 room number 456 and finally he knocked the door . I took his phone from his back pocket and dropped it onto the floor, he turned to pick it up and I opened the door with the master key which I took a while ago when he brought me up . Drew was working on his laptop and was shocked when saw me with this guy entering his room , he made me sit on the bed and left with a get well soon gesture. 

"Get out !" Drew said getting up from the laptop. "I got a sprain." I said pin pointing my leg . " then why did he brought you here ?" He asked being clueless. "Because I wanted said that I lived with you " I said getting comfortable On the fluffy sheets . "You know what ? Just get out !" He said and grabbed my arm . I twisted his hand and set my arm free and again sat on the bed , "I came here to talk to you..... do you want revenge?" I said . He was freaking angry till this point and said "yes I wanna kill you !" On the top of his voice . "Stop screaming, are Emma and Alex involved in all this?" I said . He said "now who are they ?" Still screaming. "If you want to spoil your reputation keep screaming and gather everyone ." I said calmly. "Can you die ?" He asked sitting on the study table , " I can die anytime and I really want to enjoy the time I have now and not in your fear ." I said and after hearing this he was totally annoyed "You destroyed my life and I think you don't need me to destroy yours because certainly you don't have one ." He said . "I have one now , I got a dad ..." I was cut off by him. "A mom and a little sister and you got to little friends, what do you think ? That guy adopted you only for promotion.." he said so deliberately that I got triggered "he is my father !!!" I said with almost watery eyes . " who are you lying to ? Me? Or yourself?" "Your dad died in fire ! You don't have a family !" He said so heartlessly that tears started dropping from my eyes .

"You are a source of money for him ! Do you even know that the guy gets paid monthly by the government to take care for you !" He said with such a confidence that I rarely doubt that it was a lie but he continued. "Don't you realize? He is always behind your protection , his job is to make you live . If you die his professional life will come to an end ." He said so arrogantly that I couldn't hear anymore and burst out " stop ! I don't want to hear anything! You are saying a 10 year old girl is faking her relationship with me ? You are saying that a mother having a small girl was ready to adopt me just because her husband said so ? You are saying that all that affection and love was all fake ?" I said dripping tears. I turned and was about to leave but he holded my arm and made me sit on the bed again .

"I lived all alone for months in that orphanage with all that bullying untill Mary came and became my guardian it took me so long to change to get out of depression and anxiety it took me so long to graduate and master my academics it took me so long to build this empire it took me so long to forget you !" He said and bent down . I was shocked with what I heard and honestly i don't care now , I got up but something hitted hard on my leg and I fell on the floor. I got up and looked back from what I just hitted and my heart dropped into my stomach.
