Its 29 degrees in the shade. This is the hottest holiday Lily has been on for ages but one she so desperately needed. While lying on a sunbed in the shade she spots the mystery man she saw at baggage check in at Gatwick. 

Whilst queuing for ages at Gatwick, she spied a handsome gentleman waiting in the next queue. Dashingly good looking, in designer clothes, he is out of place in this queue. Everyone else is prepared for their holidays, in flip flops, shorts and oversized hats, yet this man is dressed as if he has stepped off the catwalk. 
He surely cant be going on her flight to La Palma. 

Staring at the mystery man from behind her sunglasses she studies his chiseled chest and toned back. This man clearly knows how to look after himself, if only he would get off his phone. Everytime she had spotted him from Gatwick baggage check in, through security and waiting in the departure lounges his phone had been permanently fixed to his hand. He was obsessed and oblivious to the women around him staring. Maybe he was gay Lily thought. 

Lily's attention was diverted from studying his bronze body by screams, blood curdling, life altering screams. A Spanish maid was running from an apartment block. "El Auxilio! El cadaver!" The only two words Lily could make out from the maid's garbled crying and from the speed in which she spoke.  
"Help! A dead body!" Lily thought in her head, she knew basic Spanish from school. She pushed herself up from her sunbed, a crowd had gathered near the maid who had fallen to the floor sobbing uncontrollably. Lily saw what appeared to be managerial staff descending the steps of the main hotel, missing steps as they raced to the scene. 

What followed was chaos, the apartment block was closed, a crowd had gathered and the police had been called. It was serious, Lily's relaxing holiday had suddenly became the scene of a vicious murder.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in nightterror #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #34 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #44 in ptsd #40 in misunderstood #59 in mafia
