Rosena hit her head on the table as her father's mysterious case was too hard to crack.
The announcement of Dalton heir was cancelled due to the absence of her father. He is the one holding most of the shares after her grandfather. No one has seen him, due to his work in underworld, there were no pictures of him.
The Dalton siblings had never seen their father.
Rosena thought about her mother's words and realization hit her that, her love for her father was unrequited. So, the next question was whom did her father love? Why did he marry her mother and impregnate her?
Many questions swam in her mind as she sipped her black coffee.
Aurora entered Rosena's cabin in the old shop.
"Why so down?" she asked sensing her mood, she eyed the cup in Rosena's hands.
"Life happens, coffee helps" Rosena sighed, her expression showed that she was suffering going through a big unfortunate thing in her life which had drained all energy from her body.
Aurora just lifted her eyebrow as she sat opposite her.
"About the announcement" Rosena shook her head.
"Oh, he must have threatened the old man" Aurora guessed as she raised her left hand to admire her perfectly manicured nails.
"How do you know?" Rosena asked widening her eyes, how can she forget that Aurora was adopted daughter of her father.
"I guessed, he has been threating your grandfather for more than decades not to announce the heir to the public, giving an excuse of protecting the heir from the enemies" Aurora shrugged.
"Tell me everything about him, even the little thing like he admires his nails when he bombs some astonishing news like you do" Rosena exclaimed as she described what she wanted to know, making Aurora frown for using her gesture.
"Your father, Harold Dalton is one of the most dangerous man alive on earth, he is compared to Satan and is also called as demon god the underworld, an order from him in underworld is like decree and everyone should follow it or else they are cemented alive. Last time I saw him was when he found you in the hospital on the verge of death, when you were 7 and I was asked to look after you from that day on..." Aurora explained, and was stopped in mid-sentence when Rosena glared at her.
"What?" she asked.
"I never saw him, and I thought it was a fateful encounter meeting you, I was like, 'sometimes god uses unexpected encounters to bring unexpected blessings', now, I think the god was of the underworld and blessing was condemnation" Rosena quotes her words.
It was now, Aurora's turn to throw daggers towards Rosena through eyes.
Rosena just shrugged it off.
Rosena gestured to continue her words.
Aurora rolled her eyes and continued,
"He asked to take care of you and make you meet all the 'unexpected encounter people'...." Aurora quotes her words.
"Unexpected encounter people like Master Grady, the famous surgeon and the Master Henry were planned by you and my dad" Rosena yelled as she threw the empty cup on the floor.
She was furious, that the father whom she hated was behind her every little happiness. Those little 'unexpected encounters' had helped her through her chickenshit life at the Parkers.
The Parkers had always abused her.
She had always been sad as she had no friends due to her 'sister's' involvement and she found her friend in Aurora and the old Masters had taught her everything she knew till now.
She clenched her fist, digging her long manicured nails in her skin, making the skin bleed.
Aurora expected this reaction and so, did her.... father, who was her boss, Harold had saved her when he was a mission in the mountain where she lived with her family, she was 4 and was playing with her friends when the rock underneath her feet vibrated and was about to roll down the cliff, he had saved her from falling and kept her with him, as there was a sudden landslide on the mountain. After the whole night, in the morning they found out that her family had died in the disaster and there was no one to look for her, so, he adopted her to train her. her next 5 years were spent in hellish training, which was under his nose, which was extra hard even for the mature men. Her first and last mission was to always protect Rosena.
