Gabriel settled Vulcan in his chamber and walked towards Bella's chamber. His steps ceased for a moment in front of Cara's chamber but he quickly walked past and reached Bella's chamber. As he walked, flashes of what happened before his fight with Vulcan surfaced in his mind once again.
The sudden outburst of darkness earlier triggered something within him and as if he was in a trance, he immediately went to look for Vulcan. He didn't know why but a voice in his mind kept telling him to stop Vulcan at any cost. His mind is still in a haze but he could remember few flashes of his past. Some sad moments which are the the reason he couldn't even look in Cara's eyes. He needs to find answers soon and it looks like Cara also knew something about it.
He sighed and shook his head softly shaking away the chaotic thoughts. He then entered the chamber after knocking on the door twice.

EARLIER…..NEAR THE CLIFF....
Sirena appeared before the woman who was facing the ocean before her. The woman before her had pearly silver hair like Sedna but a few strands were now black which are dancing in the cold breeze blowing on her. There is a broken phone near the woman's feet. She has her back facing towards Sirena so the latter couldn't see her face but looking at her back, she looked like a goddess- a dark and lonesome queen. Looking at the darkness arising from the woman like smoke, Sirena's body stilled but she forced herself to move forward and speak.
"Sedna!" Sirena spoke softly trying to test the waters but she got no response from the other side. Sirena frowned looking troubled but she couldn't do anything about it. She need to bring this woman out of here soon or else soon everyone will be alerted because of the fast-spreading darkness. Such powerful and venomous darkness... It will not even take a moment for that one inside to sense it.
Sure enough, not even a moment had passed and she felt another power coming from the dining area and not only her, the woman before her also seemed to sense it too. Siena looked at the woman's stiffened body and once again spoke softly.
"Lady Salaycia!" What brings you here?"
This time the woman before her turned around slowly and Sirena's breath got stuck in her throat looking at Sedna whose eyes turned completely black. So dark that even her sclera turned pitch black.
"Looks like he sensed me..." the woman before Sirena spoke softly and looked at Sirena before her.
"Don't worry. I am not here to do something. It's just an accident and sometimes I feel like my obsession and possessiveness surpasses my love for him." The lady spoke softly and looked at the dining area where the fight is happening.
"I am leaving... I know it's not the time for me to return yet but clear the flies around him. And... I have not yet settled scores with you for hugging him. You better pray for your hands." The lady smiled but that smile and the creepy threat in it sent a chill up Sirena's spine.
Sirena's attention got swayed when they heard another explosion coming from the dining area and she swiftly turned to look at The Lady before her.
"Looks like Gabby will not be able to hold him back anymore. She sighed and continued," I am leaving... You better speed up the plan. It looks like the seal is getting weaker these days and one more thing...
"You look old" The lady smirked and in a beat, Sedna stilled and slumped down. The darkness also disappeared completely leaving no trace of it behind.
Sirena gritted her teeth and yelled, "you are old! Not me! You damned witch!". She then scoffed looking at Sedna and carried her back to her chamber.

INSIDE BELLA'S CHAMBER
Dylan and Gabriel looked at Bella sitting on the cot, waiting for her to explain but the woman is so pissed with them that she didn't even look at them even for a second. Gabriel glared at Bella and then turned to Dylan signalling him to deal with his wife. Dylan sighed and looked at his wife softly.
" Bella? Come on... How long are you going to be like this? Quickly explain what you know." Dylan said.
" Why? Are you tired of me? And I said I won't say a thing about it." Bella spoke looking at her well-trimmed nails
Dylan shrugged looking at Gabriel who looked like he was about to kill someone. The latter looked at Bella and smirked.
"Do you wanna know about with who Dylan cheated on you?" Gabriel smirked glancing at Bella's pale face while Dylan's face turned cold. He glared at Gabriel who was enjoying Bella's face turning pale and swiftly approached her.
Bella ignored Dylan before her and looked at Gabriel with her pale face.
"Who?" Bella couldn't even hear her voice but Gabriel heard it and tilted his head looking at her.
" You tell me first. What happened between me and Cara in the past? Why don't I remember her?" Gabriel tried to negotiate with her but Bella shook her head telling him to answer her question first.
" Will you guys stop?" Dylan tried to stop them but both of them ignored him and continued to stare at each other as if they were about to fight in the next second. Finally, it was Bella who accepted her defeat and said softly, " I am not going to say everything but only a few things. Take it or leave it. It's not like I can't find who that bitch is."
Gabriel nodded his head telling for her to start. He couldn't calm the uneasiness in his heart whatsoever and only finding answers to his questions seems to calm this anxiety.
"You were her secret fiance from whom she ran away. She didn't know you and ran away from the marriage contract. And you went after her, found her and you both fell in love. I can only say this much. Now it's your turn. Who is that bitch?" Bella gritted her teeth remembering Dylan kissing a girl in a pub.
