Chapter 82 - Matthews shoulders (1/2)

Cold eyes staring at the monitor witnessed and heard everything that happened in the study room. Evan's eyes widened in shock after hearing the truth.

None of it made sense, how could his family do this to Daniella.

And most of all, how could he forget the twins he used to visit when he was just a kid.

His heart raced uncontrollably as he picked up the phone on the table, his trembling fingers dialed the president's number and when the other line was answered, Evan parted his lips to speak.

”Mr. Minoan I want Roman Lee's location” he ordered coldly.

The other line went silent until a few sighs sounded from him ”What do you want from him?”

”Give me his address.”

The president gave him an address, and looking at it has made him scoff in disbelief.

”He certainly knows where to hide huh!” he spouted in sarcasm and ended the call rudely.

He dialed a number once again and when he spoke his voice was coarse in pain ”Mark leave Daniella's side and pick up Selena from my mom's house ” he paused to take a deep breath ”Daniella might come so make sure that none of my mom's guard would hurt her.”

He ended the call with a heavy heart , he brushed a hand over his face as his head started to pound mercilessly.

He looked at his screen, a sour smile curved upon his lips when he saw his wallpaper with Daniella and Selena's picture together.

He picked up his phone once again and this time he dialed his mother's number. And as the phone rang his heart pulverized while his mind was baffled by reality.

The softness of his mother's voice rang in his ear as she answered the phone.

”How are you Evan?” his mother giggled.

His eyebrows furrowed upon hearing the energy in his mother's tone. His mind flashed a picture of her good life in the past seven years while she was enjoying every cent she got from her divorce , the child of the woman she killed was suffering relentlessly.

”Mom how could kill her?” those words came out of his mouth painfully, he felt a thousand of needles piercing his throat as he spoke.

”what - what are you talking about?” his mother voice, full of confusion stuttered.

”I know what happened mom!” he yelled ”you didn't just kill Alexandria Chen but you also let my brother die in that fire!”

He paused because of the pain in his heart, his nose wrinkled when he thought of the truth  ”How could you and father hide the truth from me!”

His voice broke down just as the tears streamed down his eyes. He had never cried like this, not even at his brother's funeral or even at Kierry's. He barely showed emotion to his family but right now , knowing what his family had done to Daniella's family, he could not help but lash from frustration.

”She's coming to kill you mom!” he warned her as he laughed , it was a laugh full of bitterness, the shadows underneath his eyes differed the clear sky outside.

”If she doesn't kill you , please Do me a favor and don't show your face in front of me again!” after he blurted out what he wanted to say to his mother he ended the call and about to throw his phone into the air when his eyes saw the face of Daniella on his phone.

There was nothing he could do to change the way things were . He couldn't let Daniella stay by his side knowing that his family was the reason why she became an orphan.

--

As Daniella drove away from the villa, her stomach was grumbling from pain, was it because of the alcohol or the truth, she didn't know.

She stopped on the side road , jumped off  her motorcycle and squatted on the grass, all the alcohol and breakfast she had this morning rushed out of her mouth .

She spewed all the food and liquid in her stomach, the bitter aftertaste lingered in her mouth and she continued puking like a sick baby.
