While telling her story she had completely forgotten that Victon was sitting there in front of her. But she couldn't understand why he was asking her his name. But when she looked into his eyes they were already turned into darker than usual. She saw the anger which seemed like they were directly erupting from his soul, as if he was ready to kill his uncle if he by chance appeared in front of him. When she didn't say anything for sometime he again asked her using the same tone,
"Didn't you hear me? I asked you something damn it!" Victon shouted making her flinch at her place slightly.
"Ja...James Halston." She finally said her uncle's name and the moment his name slipped from her mouth both Victon and his mother remained frozen there at their places. Of course they knew him but still they wanted to confirm it.
"Who is your father dear?" Mama asked her in a very suspicious tone.
"Ol...Oliver Halston."
"What!!" Both asked in unison.
"Why are you both reacting this way?" She asked them because she couldn't understand why they were acting in this way.
"Do you know my father?" She asked them while both were looking at each other suspiciously.
"Are you Oliver Halston and Emma Halston's Daughter?" Mrs Rion asked and she nodded her head at them.
"Yes, but why are you both looking so surprised?"
"Are you sure your parents died in the car accident?"
"Yes, my uncle told me that."
"Don't mind us dear, actually your father and my husband were good business partners and also your mother was a good friend of mine. I didn't get to hear any news about your parents in the last few weeks. That's why I was asking you." Said Mrs Rion to avoid the topic because she cannot afford to break the heart of this little girl by letting her know the truth behind her parents'death.
"Ohh..."
"From now onwards don't get afraid of anyone dear, because we will always keep you protected. Always remember that we are your family from now on and I will try my best to be your mother. I know I can't take part in your own mother's place but I will try to be the best mother for both of you." She said to both of them while smiling widely. But the next thing she said that took us to a very shocked state!
"You both are so lucky and I hope you two siblings will always support each other."
"What!!! siblings??? What are you talking about mom. I had already cleared you that I don't want any sister and moreover not her mom. Don't ever tell me that she is my sister, never!!!" Victon roared angrily but deep inside she was feeling very happy but why? With that he shot her a hateful glare and went upstairs to his room. 'Why is he behaving like this with me?' She wandered inside her mind.
"Don't mind his words dear. He is always like this. Whenever he doesn't like something he always acts like this but I can't understand what his problem is if you will become her sister? I don't get it."
"I also don't know mama." She Really couldn't understand why he was acting like this. But whatever the reason may be but she can't seem to get him out of her mind at that time.
"Ok leave it, now just go to your room and have some rest ok. It's time for the nurse to come for your treatment. She may come at any time. If you need anything then just tell sister Maria ok! and also another thing I have to tell you is that during dinner I will meet you with your new uncle." Mrs Rion said very lovingly and she just nodded her head at her obediently.
"Ok mama." With the help of sister Maria she headed upstairs directly to her room to do some rest.
When Stella told them about her family they really got shocked to their core. They can't believe what they just heard before some moments. Actually Oliver and Emma Halston were the most influential and powerful couple of their city and also the richest family in that city and due to business purposes the Halston family and the Rion families were very close to each other. But the Rion family never met with Stella that's why they didn't know that Stella is their very closest friend's daughter.
When Mr. Rion died mercilessly by their enemies the whole Rion family was so busy in settling of things that they didn't get any chance to contact their other friends. And of course after changing their real identity they didn't reveal in front of anyone. That's why they couldn't be able to get any information about Halston's family.
But recently Bernard who is none other than Victon's uncle got secretive information about Halston's family and told Victon's mother about that news. The news is Both Oliver and Emma didn't die accidentally but they have been murdered. Someone has planned the whole thing and made people believe that they died accidentally and that someone is none other than Stella's uncle James Halston.
That's why Mrs. Rion decided to protect Stella very dearly. She doesn't know why but she also feels some type of connection with her. She decided not to tell Stella about her parents death. She thought she wouldn't be able to accept this news so easily. If time comes then she will get to know that automatically. She also told Victon not to tell Stella anything. She also decided to change Stella's identity so the enemies can't be able to reach her ever.
When Victon got to know about her story he was so so enraged in his mind that he felt like killing those people who dared to hurt her. But he couldn't say anything in front of her. Obviously he wanted to maintain his cold behaviour in front of her and also have to keep his distance from her. He is very well aware of the fact that there is no place for heart in the world he is living in right now and also he can't risk his heart to fall for her. But only god knows about their fate. What the future holds for them.
AT 9PM,
Victon's uncle Bernard has arrived. Both Victon and his mother came to welcome him.
"How are you brother?" Mrs. Rion asked him to smile very warmly as if showing her love to her one and only brother. Yes! Bernard is none other than Mrs. Rion's own brother.
Bernard and Victon's father were best friends from childhood and when Victon's father got to know about Mrs Rion more and more he couldn't help but fall in love with her more deeply. His mind could not win against his heart. As we know the world they are living in has no place for hearts but despite these dangerous warnings he fell for her. Also Bernard couldn't say anything to them because both were very close to him.
"I'm fine sister." With that they both hugged each other very lovingly then all went to sit down on the sofa.
"Hey, My boy...how are you doing?" Bernard asked Victon very lovingly. Bernard loved Victon very much like his own son. Since childhood Victon always used to spend his quality time with his uncle and his father. He has already formed a very special bond with his uncle. But after his father's death both turned into a cold stone which can't be melted easily. They both had vowed to take revenge for Victon's father. But they both knew that the bond between them still hasn't changed even a bit.
"I'm doing great uncle. How about you? Is everything ok there?"
"No need to worry about that Victon. Only concentrate on your work. All is good there."
"Yes, uncle."
"Brother is there any emergency? Why did you decide to visit us today? You know it's very rare of you to visit us." Mrs. Rion asked him. Yes it's very rare that Bernard comes to visit them personally. Always Victon and his mother used to visit him at his place.
"Don't worry sister. This time there is no such emergency. My only purpose is to see the girl who is living here with both of you. Remember you told me about her."
"Ahh...You mean Stella. Yes yes she is such a lovely girl you know. I instantly liked her from the moment I met her. Such a sweet girl she is and very much pretty as well. Don't you agree with it my dear son huh?" She asked her son in her teasing voice and he was looking as if he got stuck in some type of conversation which he just badly wanted to avoid right now.
On the other side Mrs Rion asked him in a teasing manner because she has her doubts about her son. She has already started to doubt him in the hospital where Victon denied her to be his sister. But her doubts got stronger when today also he denied her to consider Stella as his sister...
