ok here's the story in a really summarised way: so as we know, the mafia is led my malikai, who ends up being avens father. Harry is actually 2 years older than he says he is and he and Quincy as the walker brothers. He was the one who killed his father, after all the abuse his father made him go through. Harry's mom died in childbirth, but his father loved her and always blames Harry for it, which reflects now. Avens mom was actually affiliated with malikai, but then she ran away when she found out she was pregnant and was under the rader for quite a while (12 years obv), then malikai found out about their daughter and was dead set on taking her with him, that's why she ran away, left Aven and Winnie with their grandmother and never looked back. When aven first attended the duplicity concert, malikai found out she was alive again so he made an elaborate plan of getting her involved with band. He kept tabs on her for two years and made it so that the ivy school wouldn't except her but send her to an advicer who would recommend her to duplicity. Harry always knew she was malikais daughter (I think, I don't really remember) and malikai and ordered him to train her enough to join the mafia. The incidents which happened (the skeleton mask person) was Quincy all this time and malikai eventually says that he's been doing that purposely to identify her potential and strengths. After this chap, Harry trains her excessively, making her even better at surviving, they get through various dangers together and she learns how to defend herself real quick. Eventually down the road, Harry opens up about his past and tells aven everything he know the mafia and malikai and how he knew from the start. It starts mainly because aven finds something out, and then Harry has to explain everything.
