Chapter 9

STEPHENO POV.

"She is asleep" I said

"I can see that" He replied

"She is not who you are looking for" I said

"I know what I'm doing," He said annoyed.

"In that case we need to bid her farewell " I said, crossing my hands looking at her. She did need to leave.

"I want to do the test again. " He said.

"This is the most accurate result one could get in the country" I barked at him.

"Do you want me to slit your tongue? I will not hesitate to do it, "he said seriously.

She had just arrived yesterday and I think she had already captivated him. He was always into innocent ones. It shouldn't be that shocking for me but this time things were not even.

"You never allow anyone inside your room. How did it become possible this time?" I questioned him playfully. He punched me on my ribs and made me want to take my words back.

I hate his strength.

"Send me the result once it arrives at my office" He said, his eyes fixed on her.

"Which office?" I asked, still rubbing my sides.

"Basement "

"This is my fucking house. Stop using it like your own" I shouted at him.

"Don't fucking raise your voice again" He said calmly he turned, his eyes speaking different emotions.

"Don't ever forget It's built in my money " He said, his aura was the scariest one.

This was the first conversation of the year. We were brothers to the outside world but inside we were nothing but strangers. Still as the older brother he always carried his responsibility. He was the one I would look up to when I was a kid and still now.

I don't think I would be alive after all the Disaster I have caused to our families. We are the only brothers who are cut out from the family. He because he stood with me.

"Prepare the warehouse" I commanded Bruno. Bruno was good with knives and in battle he lost his left ear. Still he stayed showing his gratitude towards Lorenzo.

Bruno nodded his head and took his leave. Warehouse was his office but not a normal one. Someone's day is going to ruin today.

I put my two best newly trained men on guard in front of Lorenzo's room because that's where Lyra was taking rest. It was just to keep her safe. After we were cut off from our family. Our relationship did not end there. They would still come to us and greet us with too much affection.

Their affection generally states death but then the courtesy of nature has always saved us and sent us to the hospital. Inshot they are after our lives. We aren't that bad people but I guess we are for them.

I walked out of Lorenzo's room. I needed to go to the warehouse to see he didn't dirty my tiles. I was on the way to the warehouse but instead of reaching there I ended up showing up in Lorenzo 's room.

The two men saw me and their bodies stiffened. They opened the door. She was still asleep, she was innocent, no doubts about that. But her behaviour tells she was not shown the beauty of life and had kept in the dark to survive.

After looking at her for the last time. I decided to go.

" If she wakes up. Call the Doctor and let her do whatever she wants but closely follow her" I said they nodded their head in understanding. I was about to walk out when I turned and went near him. I was scaring them.

"If I see a tiniest scar in her body. You both will have bruises" I warned them. I saw both of them gulp. Good they understood the task.

I took the lift. I unconsciously smiled thinking how she cracked the code on her own. She is a smart young lady. It was fun to know she fooled them and almost prepared her escape. She was different in many ways.

The lift dinged open and I was greeted with DK and N. They were the Hackers, they did their job well but both were pain in ass. Anything new launched the world would first come to our base and this would always put me in the conference room.

If there were some new gadgets launched they would make sure their export came to us but Skin care the first launched products of R.E.S company products were also found in our base.

I am so tired of solving these cases. Their creepy smiles told me they were into something again.

" This time I'm not fighting your case." I said them straightly.

"You know we would not put you in a tight place," DK said with his eyes on his phone. The disrespect they show me wants to choke them.

So, I pressed his neck. He tried to free him but it was not possible until and unless I wanted to.

"We promise we are not into crazy stuff this time" N said, partially trying to make a deal for DK's neck.

block

"Really" I said casually and left his neck. He coughed and fell on the floor. There wasn't any bruise in the neck. It was just a trick to the air passage going to the lungs.

After he recovered he stood up. Not making eye contact with me. Better.

N was first to guide me inside.

" What is going on here?" I don't think I will be able to stop now. My Pietra Firma Lux Touch tiles are a mess now.

"You said you were in the warehouse" I almost shouted at him. He looked at me for a couple of seconds like my words were the least he cared about and again focused on the man who was tied up with his body suspended in the air.

His wasn't the warehouse. This was the formula room which I prepared to keep the most confidential data and this fucker who is my brother is using as interogation.

"Tell me her Full name," Lorenzo said.

This man definitely wished death. He laughed at the question. Lorenzo was calm.

"I'm asking you again. What is her full name" He asked.

"Why should I tell you? You can kill me" He smirked thinking he had the upper hand.

"I have nothing to lose Lorenzo" He spoke with a glint of power. Showing you are powerful in front of Lorenzo was the biggest mistake anyone should make.

Lorenzo laughed at his words and the man laughed with him. There are only two possibilities in this situation. I would say either this man had guts to cross Lorenzo or he didn't know who Lorenzo actually is.

"You tell me her name or else I would give you the greatest sorrow of your life" Lorenzo provoked him to which he scoffed.

Suddenly a big screen came out on the other side of the wall and a live video started playing.

It was a Greenfield and in the centre there was a Tombstone the name written on it was Maria zue plarde.

That man started laughing at Lorenzo.

"What do you think you are trying to do? Hurt my close one and I would tell you everything. You are wrong, you will not get anything from me" He said with confidence.

"Start digging the grave " With one command they ran to take the spade and slowly one of them Started digging the grave.

The man looked anxious but he stood by his decision. Slowly the grass in the top was removed and now they were digging the soil out. He was angry now. He started shouting at Lorenzo but Lorenzo was enjoying the show.

"Do you want me to stop?" Lorenzo questioned playfully.

He remained silent.

"You son of a bastard. How inhumane you are to dig a grave. You are a monster motherfucker" He kept insulting Lorenzo. Lorenzo was least affected by his words.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look who is speaking of monsters. Aren't you the one of their followers " Lorenzo said now the man was death silent.

"Nooooooo. Stop this STOPPPPPP…" This time the man was in pain. Something pricked him deep and hard.

I looked at the screen and saw small wooden slippers being removed from the grave. Lorenzo was out of his mind for doing this kind of act.

"Now… " Before Lorenzo could complete.

"I will tell you whatever you need to know…I will tell Stop digging it" He begged Lorenzo, defeated in the situation and I looked at Lorenzo disgusted.

"I only want the truth. What is her full name?" One could feel the coldness in his voice. That took deep breaths and told.

"Her full name is Lyra Walton. The long lost daughter of Walton family." Lorenzo was taken back by his words. His eyes watered hearing that. He stood up from the chair he was sitting in and walked out without a word.

The shock this man gave blew my mind. She was the richest human in this world. It was good Lorenzo found her before anyone could find her.

But….how did she end up with him. I walked up to him to further question him.

But then we heard the door breaking sound. Lorenzo broke the door of this room. I will seriously put a bullet in his head. It was imported from Egypt.

"You better explain everything to me or else you will see. What I will do? " Hearing Lorenzo's loud voice the man gulped. The truth was going to shake us up. I looked at Lorenzo as he stood in his place with no emotion in his face.
