Aliyah seemed shocked for a while before she quickly regained composure before her expression was noticed.

That was one revelation she didn't think she'd be hearing today.

Cecile looked away like she'd rather stare at something else than look him in the eye and, then her eyes suddenly turned to Aliyah, like she didn't want her to be here all of a sudden, hearing her getting scolded.

Aliyah blinked.

On hearing her grandfather's scolding, Cecile quickly got up and waltzed off in annoyance before the old man could get on with a long-ass lecture in front of a stranger. Mr Vawn's eyes held a grim expression of worry in them.

He sighed. "Kids these days, What exactly is their problem?" He raised both his hands briefly before dropping them down to his side in obvious frustration.

Aliyah stared in the direction Cecile had walked off before her gaze darted back to Mr Vawn as her mind wandered off.

What the hell is going on? She is Ben's sister? That revelation hit her like a ton of brick

    The question came as a surprise to Aliyah, maybe he was still trying to make sure what he was seeing between them wasn't just some fabrication or deliberate act to deceive him. That came out of nowhere and she was battling in her mind to think of the right answer she could give. There was no right answer she could think of cause since she had come to know Ben this past few weeks, he was many things, many vile things, but she obviously couldn't say that. That wasn't what the old man was waiting to hear, and saying such would destroy everything they had shown him, even the dumbest person would know that. Aliyah searched in the world of her mind for one redeeming quality that he had that she could narrow upon. 'His unswerving dedication and determination to achieve his goals reached me, I guess' That was the first thing she thought to say about him but she scrapped up the answer and threw it in the bin of her mind. Aliyah was going to have to think of a much more solid and convin

    Did he figure it out? That this was all a lie. All she said about her affection for Ben. Were her words not convincing enough? Had her face given her act away? The heat of the situation and the blazing flurry of questions engulfed her mind and body. "Now tell me," he continued, Aliyah swallowed the gulp that formed in her throat as she waited on edge to hear the old man's next words. "What's weighing so heavily in your mind? I'm sure it must have to do with Ben, what has he done?" he asked her, displaying pure concern about her. Aliyah's brows quirked in realization. The relief that swept through her was calmly huge, pleased that the words that came forth from his mouth weren't what she had thought he was insinuating. As much as she tried to conceal the issue that had been bugging her mind it seemed like the old man had managed to sniff it out. Since the old man was showing genuine concern, she had to at least say something, there was no better way to build a connection with a

    "What!?" Cecile blurted out in a rising tone, her discontent with that decision was plain as daylight on her face. ”But we could just hire a professional chef to take me lessons does it have to be her?""I thought you've been wanting to prepare a decent enough meal yourself? I've hired five different connoisseurs in cooking and you just run to me saying they are bad teachers and that I should get you a new teacher. Unless you are no longer interested this is the condition I have." It was not up for debate, her eyes darkened, as she glared at Aliyah. Like she wanted to drag her by the hair and throw her out. Cecile was silent, contemplating the whole idea, Mr. Vawn, her Grandfather made sure to stamp his foot on it and as much as she was a tough nut to crack, he was one person she didn't like to offend, wanting to learn cooking to make something for him made clear how much she held him in high regard. Aliyah glanced at Cecile with soft eyes. Hearing that she had turned away five pro

    Ben's tone earlier had startled her, she simply obeyed without even trying to utter any word in protest. The pitch of his voice was malicious and bore anger but he wasn't saying anything in the car as he narrowed his vision to the path before him. Aliyah swallowed the lump in her throat, maybe she was just imagining it but he unmistakably had anger in his eyes, and she didn't have to think twice to know that they were directed at her. Did Mr. Vawn say something to him in his study? She wondered in her mind. There was no use thinking of it since she was no mind reader. She had faced his anger before but this time it was different, clearly so, it was more menacing and she feared for herself. He seemed to be in a hurry for an unknown reason as he reached the house quicker than she had expected. She didn't wait for him to tell her to get down when she did. She was striding away from the car when she suddenly felt a violent pull on her arm, the manly strength drawing and swerving he

    Aliyah took a deep breath as she glanced up at Ben. It was now the supposed day of the reunion and by some miracle, Ben had agreed to let her go. Perhaps, whatever his grandfather said made him change his mind at lastThese past few days, the way Aliyah prayed, she probably didn't think she'd had prayed that much all her life, and to think it was nothing but to get the privilege to go out of the house when she wasn't a 13-year-old that needed constant watch— How the mighty had fallen. Nevertheless, it was a thing of joy for her that he somehow ended up letting her off, though there was a tinge of hesitation in his eyes, which seemed to point to his total district of her. The way Ben warned her, it felt like she was sworn to a secret brotherhood, that it might cost her her life if she spilled valuable and well-kept info to her friends, he warned her clearly that they could lead to dire consequences if she tried to pull a fast one on him and she knew better than to doubt the raving lu

    Anxiety crept into the cracks in her heart, she hadn't seen her friends in quite a while. And for some reason she felt a sudden hesitation, but then she went on. Aliyah took a deep breath as she stepped into the club which Clarice had told her the reunion would take place. Her eyes scanned around the surroundings and for a while, she hesitated to step in as the poor music wasn't pleasing to her ears—nor were the shouts of people partying or even the strong stench of alcohol that hit her nostrils. For a while she stood by the door, unsure of where to head to—Clarice didn't give her the room number so she was uncertain about where they might be right now, and she also didn't have a phone to call and ask her about it. Her gaze traveled around the crowd again and this time, she decided to step in. A large body collided with Aliyah and it had her staggering and almost falling but she was quick to stand straight and regain herself. The man that had mistakenly hit her didn't bother t

    "Where did you say you are heading to ma'am?" the taxi driver's voice pulled her out of her reverie. Aliyah seemed lost for a while when she realized that she didn't know the address to Ben's house and the time he had given her to return home was already thirty minutes ago— the chauffeur was supposed to come pick her up but she couldn't wait till then. Looking up, her gaze wandered around and her heart dropped when she couldn't tell where she was.She wanted to be as far away from them as possible, she hadn't felt this insulted in a long while and it hurt even more knowing that they were from people she thought were her friends even her cousin was part of it. "Can you just take me to any bar close by?" Back at the club, minutes after Aliyah left, Clarice face palmed herself as she finally made the trio before her calm down "I'm for real disappointed at how you guys behaved. I can't even find Aliyah anymore and don't know how to get to her," she cursed as she stood up from he

    After painstakingly searching around for a while, Ben drove to the front of a nearby bar and there she was staggering in her wake, embarrassingly drunk to a stupor, as she tried to keep herself from falling. He took a quick look again and noticed three shady-looking guys standing close to where the exit was with one of them pointing towards a lady's direction to his friends.As soon as started down the path out the door, they followed suit with obvious intentions and Ben cursed under his breath. “Hey there, beautiful lady," the first man said as he walked closer to where Aliyah was barely standing without falling over, she wasn't paying attention until one of the men grabbed her by the shoulder.“Hey, we're talking to you, " the second man said with an evil grin sweeping across his face.Although she was drunk, Aliyah was a sensitive person especially when touched, and without warning she turned swiftly and slammed her heavy bag across the face of the man who had just touched her, m

    Chloe stepped into her room and went on a frantic search for her phone. Her father barely threatened her but she was sure that whenever he did, it wasn't a joke—this annoyed her to the core. She picked up her phone, intending to make a call, and scrolling through the call log, she dialed a number."Hello, Clarice," she spoke abruptly. "Hey, Chloe it's been a while. How are you? you don't sound so good." Clarice detected immediately that the unease in Chloe's voice was clear."Is everything okay with you?" She asked with great concern.She drew in her breath to recall herself before she spoke. "I'm fine, umm...remember the last time we had a reunion and you invited Aliyah?" Chloe went straight to the point.Clarice was puzzled by the direction their discussion was going since Chloe never tried to hide her contempt for Aliyah. Hearing her start with something that concerned her was off-putting."Y-Yeah I do" she stammered, her lips curling to one side as she waited for her friend's

    Dave Thompson sat down in the living room of his opulent house, looking disturbed and worried as he angrily slammed his phone on the table—he was heavily disoelws3d from the news he just heard. Mark was just not anyone to their organization, he had a lot of resources and was like a brother to him, so the news reaching him about the death of his friend shook him to the core, but what disturbed him more was how Mark was killed and tossed in the street close to one of their underground business headquarter—he was certain that whoever killed Michael was not just powerful but daring and he was after something that without a doubt had something to do with him as well. He cursed under his breath before standing up, pacing around, and thinking deeply about something—he would have to get Akiyah out of Ben's territory sooner and not later, cause there was so much time. If he wasn't careful, the next death would be his and maybe it would be more cruel compared to what his friend suffe

    Ben held a blank look at her before he shut the door, and the last thing she saw was his lips slowly pulling into a smirk. She zapped out of the room like a scaredy cat, his eyes trailed to the item that was placed stop his table, a small parcel that was no bigger than a brick.His eyes flicked as a thought seemed to extinguish in his mind. he turned his back to carry on with what he was doing.What was that about? She wondered if she could still feel his breath on her skin even though she was away from him already.Aliyah cursed him in a low voice before heading down the stairs. Cecile was nowhere to be found and Aliyah assumed she was already getting ready in her room, so she went straight to the kitchen.She still couldn't find Viola, so she decided to just start preparing the dish, she wanted to do it alone without assistance, so this was fine. Just as Aliyah brought out the ingredients she needed, she stepped over to the refrigerator and opened it, bringing out some vegetable

    Cecile might have tried to hide it but getting a compliment from Ben pleased her.She was a little girl at the end of the day and even though she was so against her brother she still sought validation from him, to be seen and to be heard.Viola and Aliyah observed as she came by to drop the plates that had been lined in the room for a while."You are lucky Master Ben didn't get angrier than that, that was a crazy stunt you tried to pull. how could you do that?" Viola stated Aliyah rolled her eyes at the endless nagging she was receiving from her makeshift older sister."Don't worry about it, I was just about tired of his attitude that was why I did that, okay?" Viola only pursed her lips.She took a long probing gaze at Aliyah's and then suddenly relented since she seemed to be getting nowhere with the scolding.With all that had happened and how Ben had reacted to the whole thing it all made Aliyah wonder if he was trying to seem softer to his sister, if that wasn't the case there wa

    A black Mercedes drove into a dark alleyway across the street, a narrow way in between long buildings, and after a while, it came to a slow stop. Chris stepped out of the car, and brushed his hair to the back, with closed eyes, he took in a deep breath and ruffled his hair, a smirk seized at his lips. Rolling the car keys in his hand, he approached a door, opened it, and stepped into a dark room. As soon as he walked in, the lights flickered on, his skeptical eyes scanned the surroundings, and he muttered, "Let's get down to business, Ernesto. Unlike you, I have other things to do rather than stay hidden in a dark alleyway while planning an attack on my rival." Chris pulled out a chair, wiped it off with a napkin on the table, and sat down, crossing his legs to sit in a relaxed state. Nearly two minutes after he welcomed himself in, shoe clicks echoed through the small room and a man came into view. Standing tall, emanating a thoughtful presence, his angular jawline was mark

    The heat that exploded in his body due to the spice in the food was unimaginably painful, he felt it in every inch of his body as he experienced severe heart burn, he knew for a fact, that beyond any reasonable doubt, this was a malicious orchestration. Heavy beads of sweat formed and trickled down his forehead as he held himself in place with shere will, if he wasn't used to the sensation of pain he'd have been rolling on the floor like a goddamn child.Cecile had a knack for getting back at him but he knew for a fact that she'd never pull such a trick. Already knowingly, there was only one other person who would have done it and he knew.Ben leaned his back against the wall for support, still reeling from the near-death experience he just had before he'd go back into the dining room, if she was trying to play a fast one for him for petty revenge, even if she won he wouldn't let her see that or get the pleasure of her success.Aliyah's eyes scanned around and there was still no sign

    Ben left Aliyah seeking clues about what the hell he meant about all that.She was beyond confused wondering what she could possibly do to get through to him, to appeal to that rock-hard heart of his.She suddenly heard the door swing open, and Ben strutted slowly into the room looking ready to go to bed."You have told me to try to earn the privilege but you have given me no clue on how to do that whatever I do, you are just going to have to bear with it then. Until I figure it out.""Whatever I don't care," he replied casually before nestling on the bed.His answer was expected, she grinned as she watched him turn his back to her."Fine then I'll just do whatever I can since he asked for this she thought to herself."With the answer he gave, she was going to find a way to get on his good side one way or another, but before all that, there was something she needed to do first.Something that had been burning within her since the incident, her urge for vengeance, Whatever his reason

    Ben pulled his car to stop, right by the corner of the road as a call came in. It was from Levi, and he had been expecting him to call sooner rather than later. He had handed Mark over to him and there were answers that he required."Hello Levi, what has he told you?" he went straight to the point."I got him to tell me all he knew, and as you suspected the Costello family seems to be involved, but I think it's more than just that, there was some sort of connivance, we've also been able to locate Riccardo's sister."He gave a deep sigh and brushed his hand through the loose strands of his hair."Find her and make sure she regains her freedom, do whatever you need to do, and bring her back.""Alright, Sir," Levi replied affirmatively"One more thing, boss, It has to do with your lady," he knew exactly who Levi was talking about."What is it?" Ben asked as his face contorted into a frown."All I could surmise is that a big player in politics seems to have been involved in a series of ki

    A tall dark brooding man dropped out of his car, the entirety of his attire was black, as if he had just come from a funeral. His darkened gaze was that of a cold murderer, it was Levi, Ben's right-hand man. He tapped gracefully on the side of the cigar pack and swiped up the first one that popped up, sliding it between his fingers he lit it up and took a long, and deep breath, feeling up his insides with the thick smoke oozing from the burning cigar, he swiped it between his fingers and released a puff.Levi stared around briefly before he ambled into a seemingly abandoned building, his shoe clicked gracefully in the alleyway.tossing aside his half-finished stick of cigarette.Levi took a quick look at the battered man who was sitting on the floor with his hands tied behind his back, clear bruises lining every corner of his swollen face, hardly being able to move around because of the cruel torture he had been through.
