Chapter 72
ALPHA LEO
As soon as I got back to the mansion, I met <b>ke </b>waiting <b>outside</b>,
“<b>Hey</b><b>, </b>did something happen?” I questioned walking towards the entrance he <b>was </b>trailing behind me<b>,</b>
“I think something’s wrong.” Immediately I heard this, I halted <b>and </b>turned to face <b>ke</b><b>.</b>
“What’s <b>wrong</b>? Did something happen at thepany <b>or </b>did Tanya do anything <b>stupid </b><b>I </b>should know about?”
Tanya didn’t do anything, but she was <b>strange </b>today, and so was Katherine.”
Hearing Katherine, my interest to know what happened shot up, “what happened?”
“I could swear I <b>saw </b>a familiar face at thepany right after the meeting, but I really can’t remember who he was. I keep trying so hard to remember this<b>, </b>but there’s nothing and everything goes ck whenever I’m so close.”
I arched my brows<b>,</b>
“Where’s Katherine?”
“Upstairs with Tanya. I think they should still be together…”
“I’ll be right back, I need to confirm something,” I uttered and ke nodded his head at me before I began walking towards the stairs. As I got up, I headed for Katherine’s room and rasped a knock on the door.
There was no response, and then I rasped another knock on the door before it was opened. Katherine poked her head out of the room,
“Hey…”
“Hey? What’s wrong? Did something happen? Why the look on your face like you’re hiding something in there?” I asked too many questions at the same time because I was curious about what ke said. He had mentioned him, and I had this insecure feeling traveling around my blood at the moment.
“Did you <b>have </b>a bad day today<b>?</b>”
“That wasn’t my question Katherine. <b>I </b>asked if something happened. Is someone in there with you?”
“Yes, Tanya, and we’re busy. Can we talk Later? If there’s anything you want to ask me, I’ll answer everything.”
I scoffed,
“I’ll talk to Tanya then,” I said and held the doorknob.
“What do you…” before Katherine couldplete her statement, I opened the door wide enough for me to walk in. Tanya was on the bed covered with a duvet, but the moment I walked in, I smirked.
“<b>Get </b>your ass out of bed, Tanya. I know you’re not asleep. I can hear your heartbeat racing <b>so </b>fast and your eyes are shaking badly. You should learn how to act when you return to school.”
She didn’t open her eyes like I had expected her to,
“Leo, she’s asleep. We had a really busy day today and she’s tired.‘ Katherine cut in from behind me,
<b>“</b>Oh really. Then I guess I should check for myself before leaving or better still, I’d just go to the dungeon and find out exactly what I
want to<b>…</b>”
“I’m awake brother, what is it?” Tanya’s voice came even before I couldplete my statement. Katherine walked towards the bed and sat down close to her and when I stared at my sister, I could smell her fear,
“We need to talk, Tanya, right now,” I said and turned, tucking my hand into my pocket and walking <b>away</b>, but Katherine spoke,
“Not now, Leo, she’s unwell and she needs rest. <b>Maybe </b>next time, <b>please</b><b>.”</b>

Chapter 72
“This <b>is </b>something urgent, Katherine, and Tanya knows <b>just </b>how important it is.”
<b>“</b>It’s urgent Katherine, thanks. Goodnight okay, we’ll talk tomorrow.” She rose to her feet and began to trail behind me and when we got out, I headed for <b>my </b>study room immediately. I shut the door immediately Tanya stepped in and took my seat on a white couch.
“Sit sister, there’s no way I’m going to hurt <b>you</b>,” I uttered and when she sat down, I rose to my feet and walked towards the small table at the end of the room. I opened the drawer and brought out a wooden toy…
“Remember this<b>?</b><b>”</b>
Tanya turned around to face me<b>, </b>and <b>then </b>I watched her arch her brows in surprise when she <b>saw </b>it,
“Y..you still have this?” She uttered, and I nodded my head,
“Yes. Tristan gave this to you when you were 3 Tanya.”
I monitored the expression on her face as I called Tristan’s name. Damn, I badly wanted to find out if my suspicions were true. It would hurt me even more to do what I had in mind if they were true.
“I thought I lost it. I never found it after that day. After you left I cried so much that you wouldn’t be taken away from us. Everything happened so fast Leo, and now this is where we are.”
Tanya was starting to bring up the past that I didn’t want to remember,
“And when you returned, you were never the same. The sweet little boy who always watched after me day and night. Who fought endlessly until I stopped crying…” she chuckled still staring at the toy,
“I loved him the most in the whole world.”
I couldn’t let my emotions get the better part of me yet.
“What if I told you I saw him? Our brother.”
I watched as her eyes widened,
“What! That’s impossible, Leo. Tristan isn’t out here. He’s in there in the dark, alone and scared. He’s been there for too long don’t you think<b>?</b><b>”</b>
“We’re not having this conversation, Tanya. That’s enough, you may leave now. I got what I wanted already so leave.”
I turned and began to walk back to the couch, but Tanya rose to her feet. As I sat down, I saw tears roll down her eyes <b>as </b>she stared at me. She clutched her fingers,
“Don’t
you think he’s received more than enough punishment for what he did? It’s been more than 4 fucking years, Leo. That’s enough for anyone whomitted his crime.”
I banged the table close to me so hard,
“Tanya, as I stated before, we’re not having this conversation,” I uttered again knowing that she would be scared if I showed that angry side of me, but she wasn’t. She rubbed the <b>tears </b>that had rolled down her eyes,
“What exactly are you scared of? Why won’t you let him out? Are you fucking afraid that he would be better than you? Or he would take everything you’ve built in thest four years? Are you afraid he’s going toe take what belongs to him?”
It was at this moment that I lost it.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
