" That day when I was in office I received a call. It was from one of Erena's guard. She was kidnapped by a gang. She wasn't alone though. A group of girls were kidnapped that day and Erena was one of them. Mom, dad was not in the position of doing anything as you know I kept them hidden. I flew their fastly. You can't believe how much struggle I have to gone through just to find her out. They almost sold her to a bar. What kind of bar I guess you have understood. That scene still haunts me. How that poor child was shown in doll box to sell to those bustards who want to have some fun with girls who are almost in their children's age. I almost burnt that area but didn't want to catch attention of Richard so I silently came out with Erena from that place. Erena is a soft hearted girl angel. She was terrified and devastated. She almost went into depression at that time. I had to stay there by her side to keep her sane. You asked me if I also gave her training or not. It was that time when I trained her. She never wanted to be in mafia. She already told dad that. But I trained her for herself protection. I had to stay by her side to give her mental support. Then she decided to take medicine as further study to change peoples lives. After that I returned here." Mr. Mariano explained the situation.
Aurora was shocked totally hearing what her elder sister had gone through.
"How is she now?" She asked after sometime.
"Better. But she still has some trauma of that incident. She tries to keep strong all the time. She is a brave girl I must say."
" Of course she is. I hope she fulfills her dream of changing others lives. I hope she stays happy all the time dad. I wish to visit them. After sorting all these things I'll go to visit them."
" They will be happy after seeing you angel."
"You are an amazing person dad. You have managed everything so well. I'm proud of you. I'm proud to be your daughter." saying that Aurora hugged him.
"I'm proud of you more angel." Mr. Mariano said smiling.
Mr. Mariano kept telling her stories about her grandparents and Erena. Aurora kept listening to him and smiling time to time hearing those silly incidents.
Lucas was done with Antonia's assignment. He was going to her room when Charlie told her that Aurora has woken up. So he excitedly went to Antonia's room so that both of them can go to see Aurora. But he found her room empty. He furrowed his brows.
" Antonia?" He called her but got no response. Then he thought maybe she was in bathroom. He went to check up on her.
" Antonia are you in washroom?" He asked again. But got no reply.
He got confused. He was sure Antonia was not in Auroras room. Then where did she go? He got out of her room and went downstairs. Charlie, Harry was in the living room watching something on tab.
" Have you guys seen Antonia?" Lucas asked.
" No. Isn't she in her room?" Harry asked.
Lucas became more confused. " She isn't." He replied.
Suddenly Antonia's words rang inside his head. A realization sank inside him. He fastly ran towards the gym.
" Lucas!" Charlie called but got no reply.
" Whipped boy." Harry said sighing.
Lucas came inside the gym but found none. Where could she go? Lucas kept thinking. Lucas then ran towards shooting zone. Shooting is something Antonia loves the most among all the trainings. He got in there and found his intuition true.
Antonia was there practicing shooting. This is the first time Lucas became furious. He went fastly and snatched the gun from Antonia's hand. Antonia looked back being afraid of getting caught by her dad. But she found a furious Lucas looking at her.
" Are you mad?" Lucas shouted for the first time at her.
Sofia got up from sleep and found Leo hugging her tightly. She smiled looking at him. She kissed his lips.
Leo also got up.
" We should get up. It's already evening baby." Sofia said smiling.
" Later." Leo murmured hugging her more tightly.
" Baby, I should check up on Aurora and Antonia. You can sleep more. Let me get up." Sofia said with a soft voice. After that Leo let her go. Both of them freshened up and went downstairs.
" Finally glad to meet you lovebirds." Harry said rolling his eyes.
Charlie chuckled and looked at them.
" Lovebirds, your love bites are showing." Charlie said smirking. Sofia became red hearing that.
" Have a good look then." Leo said flaunting them. Sofia hit his chest seeing how shameless he was being.
" Not interested." Both Harry and Charlie said together.
Suddenly they heard a commotion from the shooting zone.
" What is that?" Sofia asked being confused.
" Don't tell me Antonia is in that shooting zone. She is forbidden for god sake!" Charlie said.
" What do you mean Antonia is there? Isn't she taking rest?" Sofia asked running towards the shooting zone. Others also followed her.
" Are you insane or what Antonia?" Lucas again asked with rage. Antonia was really shocked seeing this furious side of Lucas.
" Doctor has forbidden to put any pressure on your hand for god sake Antonia! When will you start thinking about yourself?" Lucas shouting throwing away that gun.
" I can't Lucas! When my family is in danger I can't just think for myself!" Antonia shouted back.
" So what do you want? You want to go paralyzed forever just for this war? Are you dumb or what?" Lucas said. He was really furious. Just the thought of something bad would have happened to her was making him crazy.
" I don't care even if I die Lucas. Don't come between my decision. Let me practice. Why are you even meddling in my matter?" Antonia said shouting.
Sofia, Charlie, Leo, Harry all kept standing outside the door watching them.
" Shouldn't we do something?" Leo asked.
" Things will go more violent if we go in. I should call uncle." Sofia said.
" Princess is awake too. She will be worried." Charlie said still looking at Lucas and Antonia.
" Only she can manage her now. Thank god she is awake. You don't know how violent Antonia can go in situations like this." saying that Sofia ran towards Auroras room.
The boys again looked back at the fighting scene.
