Aryan quickly rushed to the café where Adele worked, and there he saw Mrs. Harold sitting dejectedly on a chair. She stared at him when he walked in without saying a word. Diana walked in and saw him. She said, "Good evening, Mrs. Harold. With the look on your face, I can tell that you've also heard that Adele is dead." Mrs. Harold shook her head, "Life is really unfair. How can the innocent get punished for the crimes they did not commit? "Please show me the evidence," Aryan requested. Diana gave him Adele's diary, and he began to read about her life in her father's house and the things Selene did to her. He was shocked that Adele went through such things. "This... Did Selene really do all this to Adele?" he asked. Diana said, "I witnessed most of it myself, many times. Selene treats Adele like a slave, and even her father hates her with a passion. Adele always felt that she wasn't their real child, that she was adopted because of how they hated her. He never bought any clothe
Aryan stared at Mrs. Harold in surprise, "You knew Adele's mom?" "Yes," Mrs. Harold replied. "My husband and I were here, and I was the one who helped Adele's mom deliver her. She died right after birthing her." Aryan could not understand what was going on, "Am I imagining all this?" Mrs. Harold shook her head, "No, you're not."But Adele told me that her mom fell ill and died a few months after giving birth to her." "Of course, Adele told you what she was told." "So, does it mean both Adele and Selene were born in this cave?" "No, they were not." "If they were not both born in this cave, how come they are twins?" "You will find out everything soon enough." Mrs. Harold responded. "Please, tell me if you know," Aryan pleaded. "Everything is so confusing, and I can't understand what you're saying. Kindly explain it to me." "As I said earlier, be patient, and you'll find out the truth for yourself," Mrs. Harold advised. "Adele was a special child, and she was born differently
Adele stared at Aryan in surprise, "I still don't understand what you mean by what you said earlier. Can you speak more clearly?" "Just hang on, I'll tell you everything in detail," he replied.They finally arrived at one of his father's houses, and Aryan led Adele into the house, shut the doors, and covered the blinds. Adele was staring at him in surprise. The things that happened minutes earlier were still fresh in her memory but she found it difficult to believe that they really happened. She could not believe that Aryan had gone against his father and everyone else just to save her. Aryan had just believed her words and trusted her, which was something she did not expect. For a moment there, she had thought she was going to die because Aryan's father seemed determined to kill her. It was a very scary ordeal for her.After looking around the house, Aryan came back to the living room. He noticed that she was lost in thought and held her hand as he led her to the couch. When sh
Aryan and Adele came out of the bedroom and tiptoed to the living room. After thinking of what to do, Aryan said, "Listen, we need to get out of here." "But how are we going to do it?" Adele asked.While they were still figuring out what to do, an officer outside said in a loud voice, "You have been surrounded, come out right now." Aryan heard the officer's voice and laughed. "These are obviously officers, and I understand why they were sent by my dad. But it's okay; this is what we are going to do. I will distract them.""Distract them how?" Adele asked. "No, I don't want you to be in danger." Aryan replied, "Listen to me. They will not kill me no matter what, but I cannot say the same for you. I have looked around, and I've noticed that they are positioned at the front and the back of the house. But by the side of the house, the room where we just came out of, there's no one there. So what I'll do is break the window in the bedroom and jump out. The moment I do that, I'll attra
The officers drove Aryan to the station, while he sat in the midst of two officers. He looked at the road, waiting for an opportunity to make his escape.He finally got it when they got closer to the station and the car he was in, slowed down. He looked one after the other at the officers who were sitting beside him and smiled. Both of them were werewolves, and the fact made him happy. He pulled his hands apart forcefully, breaking the cuffs. The officers beside him were watching but didn't know what to do because they were no match for him. He kicked one of the officers out of the car, breaking the door in the process and forcing the driver to stop. The two other cars that were coming behind instantly stopped as well. However, before they could get to him, he dashed out of the car without taking a look at the officer who was now lying unconscious on the ground.He knew he would heal in no time and his priority was Diana. He ran as some of the officers came out of the cars and chase
Adele stared at Mrs. Harold in surprise, "That sounds really nice. And what about the man I know as my father? Is he really my dad?""I can't say anything about that," Mrs. Harold replied. "I'm sorry, but all guardians have to take an oath, and my oath only permits me to tell you about your mom. I can't say anything about your dad. Whatever you want to find out, you need to find out on your own.""Alright, I guess once I meet with Aryan, we'll figure out everything. No matter what, I will find out the truth. Thank you so much, Mrs. Harold. Thank you for saving my life. How did you know I was going to be there?""When I was keeping watch at Aryan's house, I saw when you both ran away. I kept following you from a distance and I spent the night outside, watching over the house. When you ran out in the morning, I saw when Selene and your dad came after you and I did what I had to do to save your life." "Thank you once again," Adele said.Diana rushed to Mrs. Harold's café and got inside
Selene opened her eyes and saw her father. She asked, "Where are we?""We are in a safe place," he replied. "After we were attacked, you lost consciousness, so I brought you here. It's not safe for us to go back home right now, so we'll just stay here."Selene inquired, "Who was it that attacked us? And why couldn't you do anything to stop her?"Her father sighed, "Just forget about her. For now, we should be more worried about Adele. I have a feeling that Adele is with that lady who attacked us."Selene persisted, "I can't just forget, Dad. Please tell me why you didn't act. Why didn't you fight that woman? Why did you let her get away? I know you're very strong."He smiled and replied, "She's different, and I'm not allowed to hurt her kind.""You're not allowed to hurt her kind, but she's allowed to hurt us?" Selene questioned."Just forget about it," he repeated. Selene kept a sad face as she said, "Dad, I can't lose to Adele. I can't lose my mate."Her father corrected her, "He's
The mayor's wife stared at him for a few seconds and finally stepped out of the way. "Good," he replied. Afterward, he walked toward the door of Mrs. Harold's house and kicked it open. He went inside, accompanied by his betas, while his wife waited outside with the police officers. They searched the house thoroughly but couldn't find any trace of Adele or Mrs. Harold. The mayor cursed under his breath and finally came out of the house.When he came out, his wife stood by the door and stared at him. After looking at him for a few seconds, she shook her head, turned, and began to walk away."Hold on," he said, but she ignored him and continued walking away. "Bridgette," he called out to her, but she refused to turn. She kept walking until she got into one of the police cars and asked them to drive her back home because she wanted to rest. Meanwhile, Mrs. Harold and Adele continued driving in her car."Where are we going to?" Adele asked after they had been driving for a while and t
