"Where the hell were you " I ask as my sister comes in at evening she was out since morning . Well something doesn't sit well Eli asked about her and when I said she isn't home I think I saw his jaw ticking . Something is going on between them I swear .
"I was in Birmingham " she sits on one of the sofa .
"Why " I ask confused.
"Get me a glass of water please " she says and rests her head against the sofa back .
I enter the kitchen and get her a chilled bottle of water .
"Here " I say and hand over the bottle . She takes gulps as though she was thirsty for hours .
"Okay so now tell me why the hell were you there in Birmingham " I ask as I sit beside her .
"Ella . You know I love you right " she says as she looks at me .
Someone knocks at the door . I stand up to open it but Bella stops me .
"Hey what's wrong " I ask .
"If it's Marcus or Liam tell them I'm at one of my friends " she rushes to the room .
"Okay " I whisper and walk up to open the door . After I see everything is clear I open the door .
"Hey Marcus " I say . Marcus and Liam both are look royally pissed .
"Is Miss Arabella home " he asks as he looks inside .
"She's at Amelia's " I say and look straight into his eyes .
"Why didn't she inform me " he yells .
"Mr Marcus I'm sorry but you are our bodyguard alongwith Liam but that doesn't mean we need you wherever we go . Bella is at Amelia's . She is a friend of mine and hers . And I've noticed you noticing us really really well . That doesn't make is look good . This is the last warning I'm giving you " I say in a calm voice.
"Miss Ella we are here for your safety " he says his voice controlled .
"So do your safety , Bella is safe " I say and he gives me a curt nod .
"Good night Miss Ella " he wishes me before he turns to his door.
"Good night Marcus " I wish him and close the door and sigh heavily as I lean against it .
I walk straight into Bella's room she had some paper spread .
"What's this " I ask as I pick up one of them .
"Well as we both know Mom and Dad are out in Paris . I decided to go back to Birmingham for some work " she hands me over some papers .
"What's this " I ask as I flip the papers .
"Well this is ... I mean ... " she is clustered . I hold her hands in mine and look at her and give an encouraging smile and squeeze .
"What's the matter " I wait patiently .
"I was looking into the boys's family history" she says and I look at her . I squeez her hands lightly .
"So the same night I was going through some news at night . Actually going through the news regarding these four and I found a piece which said Aiden is not Reginald Callahan's own son . It was declared a rumour but we know better so I read some more . After digging into the net I found out that her mother Alice so I dug up more and well the news were proved to be officially a rumour . I had a bad feeling so I didn't discuss it with you . I'm sorry, love but this was needed to be made sure . So I went to Birmingham at four . I entered through the back door so no one finds out . After that I entered father's study and shuffled through the reports and " she looks at me . I'm shocked to the core . No this can't happen I know my father can be anything but my father being someone else's father and most of all abandoning a child which could be his .
"And?" I ask though I know the answer .
"The papers are here you can check them " she says and leaves the room. I take the papers with trembling hands after reading through the paper I find out that Aiden is indeed my half brother . I didn't shed a tear but something in me shifted . Despite of his possessive , bastard behavior I sort of liked him . His pulling me through the corridor to kiss me to whisper words for turning me on . His bites me for marking me as his territory . But after this everything can be ruined .
"Bella " I say as I enter the living room .
"You saw and read everything " she asks as she puts away her phone .
"I did " I say and plop down beside her .
"So ?" she asks .
"I liked Aiden but this can change everything " I say covering my face with my palms .
Bella pats my back and consoles me .
"You should see the present and future and not the past " she tells me .
"Present and future and not the past " I repeat her words .
"Right " she says and walks into the kitchen to get me chocolate milk . After she comes back and hands me over the cup and sits beside me .
"Do you think Krystal knows " she asks me . It's not like she loves my mother but she takes her name for the first time .
"Krystal?" I ask .
"Oh c'mon you know how much I love her " she says batting her eyelashes making me laugh with it.
"Okay let's go to sleep we have a long way to find out who murdered Isabella " I say and get up followed by Bella .
"I said to Marcus that you're at Amelia's " I say before she can lock the door .
"I'll put up a drama " she winks at me and goes into her room as I enter mine . My phone starts to ring . I pick it up and a female voice comes from the other side .
"You and Bella will die , by the time this game ends "
