Sitting at the main couch, Grandpa Emerson was slowly sipping his morning tea reading a business journal while Kiara sat beside him giggling silently seeing Josh's condition who was currently being reprimanded by Grandpa Emerson for troubling Kiara.
" Grandpa.. I have realized my mistake, I will never trouble Kiara again. I even apologized to her, right Kiara?? " said Josh Emerson with a awkward smile on his face, begging Kiara for help with his eyes.
When Grandpa heard what Josh said he turned his attention from the journal to Kiara
" No Grandpa. He didn't apologize to me and he is troubling me daily, if it wasn't for Brother Stanley to appear today i would have fallen on face on the ground. Right Brother Stanley?? " Kiara raised her voice slightly and looked at Stanley's face with a sad pout.
After making sure Grandpa's attention was not on her she winked at Josh. Stanley who just came inside just nodded without even hearing what Kiara said making Josh angry.
" Alright. It's final then, you will be not be getting your credit card till next week and I will make sure you never get it if you trouble my grand daughter again. " said Grandpa Emerson in a authoritative tone and leisurely sipped his morning tea.
After hearing what Grandpa said the two people, both the predator and the prey had different reactions.
While Kiara was silently controlling her laugh biting her lower lip, Josh was currently in the verge of bursting in anger.
' Huh! Why do I even want to help this two people meet while all they do to me is to get me punished whenever I help them. ' thought Josh in his mind huffing seriously intending to go away from their sight.
Suddenly Stanley asked Josh to stop, Josh who was intending on running away stayed in his place with a sad expression on his face.
" Take Kiara out with you when you are going to airport to pick up Alex. "
Kiara who just heard what Stanley said whipped her head at his face with a wide grin on her face.
Josh who just heard what Stanley say just nodded keeping a hand on his head. ' Taking her means going with a flock of bodyguards. My sister in law really is much more than the treasure. These both are literally trying to give me a head ache '
Grandpa Emerson who heard this just got still for a moment and stared at Stanley for a second before masking his face with a normal expression. He then turned to Josh and said in a slightly warning tone. " Take more bodyguards with you. If she suffered even a slight injury you will be responsible " He patted Kiara's head lightly and went out.
" Why am I the only one who is deserved to be scolded by everyone. I don't want to be here anymore " said Josh with a aggrieved tone and a sad pout.
" Brother please take good care of me. " said Kiara happily and just smiled widely and gave a flying kiss to Stanley and ran to her room. Stanley's lips curled up seeing her retreating figure, he then turned onto Josh.
" I am giving you the responsibility. Take care of her, if she even felt slightly uncomfortable bring her back. Don't let anyone near her. " Stanley placed a hand on Josh's shoulder and nudged him.
" I understand, Brother " Josh stated looking straight into Stanley's eyes in serious tone.
.....
After Kiara and Josh went out everyone went to the dining table.
Around the huge rectangular dining table, members of the Emerson Family sat down next to each other with everyone's face filled with anger, sorrow, and somewhat stern expression.
Grandpa Emerson sat at the center as the head of the Emerson Family, while Andrew Emerson sat to his right side and next to him was his wife, Mary Emerson. Stanley Emerson was at the right side and had a expressionless face.
The four members who were seated at the dining table were waiting for someone.
Grandpa Emerson had two childrens, Andrew Emerson was the eldest son who was also father of Stanley Emerson and Josh Emerson.
Emily Emerson was the second child who was also Kiara's mother who had died in a car accident when Kiara was five.
Seated at the dining table, no one had the mood to eat the breakfast while reminiscing about the painful memories that Kiara had to undergo when she was a child and also from three years ago with every person feeling a string of emotions.
Just as everyone was looking forward, there came a man who they were looking forward.
The mysterious man who they were waiting for was none other than Justin Kilgore!!
Justin was two years older than Stanley and five years older than Kiara making him an elder brother to his brothers and Kiara.
" Where is Kiara? " asked Justin while getting casually seated at the dining table next to Stanley Emerson.
" I have sent her with Josh to airport to pick up Alexander and others. " said Stanley. Noticing the frown on Justin's face after hearing about Kiara, Grandpa Emerson said in a somewhat commanding tone.
" Don't worry I have sent her with highly efficient body guards. Plus there is still Alexander's family who has instilled extra protection with the help of police. We cannot keep her locked all the time. "
" No. It's better if you don't send her outside, because Grandfather is not backing down and made it even severe. He is using his every resource to find out about Kiara. It'll not be a surprise even if he approaches Emerson Family " said Justin Kilgore with a stern face which shocked Mary Emerson even more thinking about Kiara's safety, while Andrew Emerson just nodded his head thinking something.
Andrew Emerson glanced at Stanley and Justin for a second and asked them " Did you find out what had happened that night ? " unknowingly his voice had cracked while asking them.
Everyone seated got still at the moment hearing that....
