Façade

Why do you do this to me?

Lynn's POV
I went home and straightaway noticed the smell of smoke. Smoke filled every inch of the room and I wondered if something caught fire. I was convinced that was not the case when I saw used up cigarettes in the ash tray. I sighed and kicked open the door to Sienna's study. She was in her denim jeans and black top with her hair pulled back into a ponytail. From her lips a newly lit cigarette dangled. She was sitting on the recliner facing the laptop on her desk, going through files and pictures. "How many times do I have to tell you not to smoke inside the house. You may have raised a false fire alarm with how much you've smoked" I folded my arms across my chest and showed more dissatisfaction with a scowl. She turned towards me after taking another drag from her cigarette. She held the cancer stick between her fingers and stared at the ceiling, deeply in thought. "Scarlet Enterprises is not doing so well Lynn" she muttered. I frowned and leaned against the wall. My parents owned one of the most famous and successful companies. The Scarlet Enterprises. I was named the heir of the company 4 years ago. It had all been fun back then but now...Ever since their murder the company has dropped slowly. Since everyone labelled me as the murderer I can't exactly take over the company. On my parents will, they had requested Sienna to take custody of me since she was my therapist and knew me. Moreover she was my mothers good friend. The only reason I'm not jailed is because of Sienna. Even though there were eye witnesses,stating that I was the only one who entered and exited the house, Sienna managed to find a loophole. If the eye witnesses stated that they saw me exiting the house, why did the police find me unconscious in the house collapsed on their bodies? Some could argue that I somehow entered the house again to state that I was innocent, but nevertheless they postponed the case until they got evidence. Of my innocence and of me being guilty. But even after 4 years we couldn't find the real killer. And ever since then the company has been falling, but when Kurapika stepped in to help us out with the company, it's been doing well. When my father was alive, there was no one in the company he trusted more than Kurapika. He was known to have the "Scarlet eyes", having an eye for the same things as my father. Going for the same companies to make a contract with. Etc etc. so he was temporarily in charge of the Scarlet Enterprises until I could clear my name and help him out with the company. "Why? What happened to Kurapika?" Sienna leant back and took another drag. "The kids smart and really efficient no lying about that. If it weren't for him the company would have died way back. But. There's only so much he could do. The Scarlet Enterprises deals with the medical department. There is always a lot of competition. The Zoaldick Inc has overtaken us. If that happens then Scarlet Enterprises would not survive." i bit my lips. This was all that's left of my parents. I need to save it. "What should we do?" Sienna stared at the computer screen as if the sceen held answers to our current predicament. After a while she let out a sigh. "Dont fret over it. I'll think of something. Anyway,how was school?" I looked up and met her gaze. Instantly knowing somethimg was up, she gently closed the laptop and we exited the study. she pressed the used tip of the cigarette against the ashtray and sat on the sofa. "What's up?" she asked as she quirked an eyebrow. I fiddled with my fingers and looked at the carpet. "Well.Remember about that guy I told you? The one who knows that I'm wearing a wig? You see.. that guy and I are supposed to do this project together. I dont know how I'm going to go about it... but I think I can handle it. i just wanted to tell you that i wont be coming hoime after school tomorrow." Sienna looked at me. I could already sense the gears turning in her head, analizing the position I was in. Then slowly but firmly, she nodded her head. "If you fell uncomfortable, then just call me. I'll come pick you up" I let out a breath I did'nt know I was holding. "Thanks Sienna"

Killua's POV

I laid down on the bed and clenched and unclenched my fingers. I was currently debating whether I should push her tomorrow. At least into removing her wig? I can't believe I was this curious about that girl. But who would'nt be? she was wearing a wig and she was really closed off.Maybe this is how Gon felt when he wanted to help me. But that can't be right.I don't really care that much about other people. I sighed and reached for my phone when it started ringing. I reached forward and looked at the caller id and frowned. Illumi fucking Zoaldick. The bane of my existense. I was tempted to just cut the call, but i knew he would keep calling me until I picked up the call.I sighned and picked up the call. "Hello?" I said in my emotionless voice
"Kill, when are you coming home. " Always straight to the point. I felt like killing the guy.
"Illumi, I told that I'm never coming back to that place. Just leave me the fuck alone"
"How long do you think that you can stay away? The only reason father let you go was that he was sure that you would find your way back. If you come back now, then you might escape getting caught up in this scheme of fathers" A dial tone indicated that Illumi hung up. His words sent a shiver down my spine. What was father planning? Scheme? I walked towards my window and leant my forehead against the cool transparent surface. Alluka. Who's life is father going to destroy now?
