Alaina's pov

Ever seen a bird flying high and almighty, it expand it's wings so that it could reach more and more

towards the oblivion of skies but it forgets that the sun which seems to provides warmth of the love and

affection that same sun will burn it's wings to the ashes being the very bird's fall.

I didn't asked for the pain, no one does, but it's memories haunting me down to the core never got

totally buried. Perfection- all my life I strived for it, lived for it ,but in the farthest corner of my heart I

knew what I was- a coward, but I will not stop fighting .

My father was five years older than his tyrant brother making me the heir of the chains of empire

passed by my grandfather. But unlike Valace Storm, Papa always loved him and had respect for his

brother, and I didn't want to ruin it, I couldn't because he threatened me to kill my parents.

Seeing Cally made my heart hurt, whatever Valace did was always for her. He wanted his daughter to

have what he couldn't, he broke me every single day piece by piece, the parts which I am collecting till

date.

I remember being so terrified of him. My panic attacks were in the confinement of my bathroom so no

one could know what happened.

Valace left Cally because he never wanted her bathed in bloodbath which his enemies would certainly

do if they knew what she meant to him, instead he showed care for me, making me always the centre

of attention of attack which I barely escaped sometimes.

He was a monster who didn't saw that even he was saving her in his own way he was still breaking her

mentally by never showing her affection of a parent. I knew how it felt -to be alone so I brought her with

me but now seeing her standing before me I felt only hatred towards her.

Like father, like daughter- thankless. She knew I was in the night club for I texted her last night that I

was feeling sick, feeling intuition of something bad was to happen, guess what, this girl never came.

She ignored me for what,a boy?

"My father is not like that, he would n-never do i-it".

I felt pure rage flowing through my body. I lifted my shirt. A dark scar was adorning my figure stretched

across my abdomen. Her eyes widened, shock filling them. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"You got my message didn't you?" Shame filled her eyes.

"I thought your gu-guards w-will be with y-you" her body was trembling but I couldn't bring myself to

care, what I felt right now was my empty soul.

"Why?" Her question made bile rise my throat. I didn't wanted to recall those times but I guess it was

time to let it all out.

"Uncle Lace, let's go and get Cals here, she would love this place" I laughed while we were sitting in a

small cafe with fresh pine smell,decorated with designer jute lamps.

I didn't liked company much and right now it was perfect because only five or six people were there. I

observed my surroundings while sipping my chocolate smoothy with a straw.

"She better be at home Laina, it's not safe to get out here" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"Well, we both are here too" he gave me an evil smirk which I naively ignored.

"Stay here princess! I am coming from washroom." If it was any other time I would have my guards with

me but uncle insisted it would be a special hangout with just both of us.

I waited and waited but he wasn't there ,but suddenly then I heard a loud bang with screams from

different people which scared me to shits, so I ducked under the table ,large tear droplets flowing as I

heard a series of heavy footsteps approaching my way.

A large hand pulled me out of my place, making me scream. A huge man with black glasses towered

over me, his eyes hardened on seeing me.

"Tell boss we have found the one we were looking for."

"UNCLE, UNCLE LACE where are you?" I saw someone shifting in the shadows just before being

dragged outside and I was sure I saw him grinning.

Valace Strom standing in the shadows smirked. He took out his cellphone. "Brother, Laina is nowhere

to be found, I searched the whole home" he faked panted while the other person on the line got

extremely furious.

"How dare you leave her even for a second, I am coming this instant, text me the location. NOW! " the

line went dead.

"She would be dead by the time you get her" he whispered.

....................

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" a man in black cladded Armani was furious on his men.

" I wanted that bastard, not his niece, bring her here" he lowered his voice when he saw the said girl

flinching at his tone. God! he was a businessman not a bloodthirsty mob boss what he would possibly

do of the little girl? Kidnap her?

She was brought with a black cloth blinding her sight.

"What is your name sweetheart?"

" A-Alaina" she answered while trembling as he removed the cloth from her eyes, his blue orbs seeing

the innocent brown ones. He sighed.

"Do you want to go home" she nodded fearfully "Look darling, your uncle has something of mine of

utter importance but I guess you don't need to get between this mess." His voice was soft as of a

father.

She relaxed in his presence and looked at her surroundings, it was a glass office with her sitting infront

of a chair in round fully furnished table.

"Send her to her Uncle back and bring him to me at this instant." He didn't wanted a child to be

involved in this sick game.

Though he didn't knew that the place he was sending her would a living hell for her.

After she came back to Valace and his meeting with the man she met before was done his entire

personality took a 360 degree turn. He didn't told her father that she was found. He kept her hostage

for eight days till one.

"Hello darling feeling good? Did you slept well?"He asked her in mocking tone when she moved away

from him, the distance her shackles would allow her to, on the floor.

"Your stupid bastard of a father is searching every place for you when you are right under his nose" he

crouched down in front of her. FIRST

He opened her restraints . SECOND

"Nothing of this have happened if Sandra was mine,I always wanted to see her withering beneath me

just like a whore begging to be released." THIRD

She brought the heavy shackles to his head and smash it hard against the wall. He wasn't expecting

her to have this much strength left after days of starvation.He groaned blood pouring down his head .

She kicked him hard her knuckles bruising his face.

"I will kill your parents, I will destroy everything you love."his voice sounded distant.

"Don't think you win Valace, it would only be me who rules this fucking empire and the day I will, you

will see the depths of molten hell. I promise Valace I will bring you to your damn knees." she seethed.

Valace had sold her to Leonard, but Leo was God's grace to Alaina. An eight year old was traded like

cattle.

Nobody knew that it wasn't the people who took her gave her those scars but her own family. Only she

and that sick bastard knew.

...............

Cally was frozen at her place, tears dripping down her eyes with anger and shame filling them.

But Alaina knew her biggest enemy has returned and yesterday it was his man who tried to drug her,

but this time she was ready to unleash hell on him. She would be his downfall.

What she was not aware of was that a certain someone outside the door was hearing her each and

every second besides her treacherous cousin. His eyes were that of a grim reaper at that moment the

greens in them swallowed by unfanthomable darkness.
