Descending from her high ground, Aberdeen ferociously stepped down. Eyes locked to the rude visitors. She was barely covered by her nightgown. The three strangers stared in awe.

"Yes, how can I help?" She strictly inquired.

"Good day, Miss Alderige," The middle-aged man introduced himself first. "I am attorney Zach Stephenson. The legal advisor of the Alderige International."

The lawyer withdrew his words after Aberdeen's eyebrow ominously rose. His hand was ignored by the lady. He saved himself the embarrassment with an awkward smile and glances.

    "You know them?" He curiously asked the old man, given the reaction he had as he glimpsed to the huge portrait.The butler managed to get back to his senses and straightened up. He cleared his throat then shook his head. Devonne was not convinced with his uncertain denial."Are you sure? You looked like you're about to faint the moment you saw who those people on the portrait." Devonne started pressing.The butler was back to his poker face. He stared back at the portrait like it was a normal display in the house. It started to spark a curiosity on Devonne's part. Mr. Mercer has this talent of altering his expression as fast as he had showed them."I believe I am not familiar with them." He denied, now with much certainty."Even a slightest recognition?" Devonne was still not dropping it."Yes. Now, I need you to---"He walked out the mom

The young man smiled at her. She took a seat in front of her son."You're early!" Allison was surprised to see him this early. There were pancakes and breads on the table. She took some, spread chocolate syrup and took a bite."I forgot to tell you. I'm leaving for Paris. It was supposed to be yesterday but you called."

London has been choking him for his entire life and Paris was a good place to escape. He held a cab and headed to his mother's ancestral home. After he told the driver where he is headed, fear unfolded to the driver's face. It's like hearing a forbidden word after a long time."Monsieur, are you sure you are going there?" The driver spoke in his tongue tied English."Yes. I just saw it on the map. I just want to see it in person." He even showed his phone to convince the driver.The driver reluctantly nodded but didn't bother asking further questions. The ride was a bit peculiar for Devonne.

A middle age woman approached the two teenagers when she entered. The woman is still gorgeous for her age. She smiled to Devonne and offered him to take a seat which he did."You must be Devonne?" She cheerfully questioned.The young man who was completely tongue tied, nodded. He is trying to catch the perfect timing to inquire something about his late mother without being obvious that he knew her."What's your last name?" The lady's curiosity settled in. There's interest in her eyes."It's Duor, ma'am." He remembered his lie to Hazel.A disappointed nod from the intrigued woman. He chose to hide his real identity considering the controversial families he belongs. Another photo captured his attention, it's
