LG'S DEN...../

The mehagony wooded clock ticked loudly taking both of them came back to their sense when Ethan was too shocked after figuring out everything. Even Athena's obvious question didn't matter to him momentarily as he was too devasted on digging his own memories.

Ignoring her question, Ethan sucked a deep breath before exhaling them rentlessly through his parted lips while murmuring like a silent raindrops at midnight,

" They.. they were all together from the beginning.."

He spoke turning Athena's face ashen who certainly knew that what did he exactly mean by those words. Her heavy eyelids dropped on the scattered letters which were exchanged between her mother and the prince of Dalastia world. 

An immense hatred towards her own mother, a sinful blame on herself quickly surfaced through her mind giving her the most painful moment of her life. An eternity had passed but no one made a noise until Ethan's choking tongue hit the deepest core of her heart.

Athena shivered lightly staring at his stiffened shoulder as if he was on the verge of breaking down. She offered her warm embrace to give him the mental peace that he lacked at that moment but Ethan moved away from the spot quite recklessly.

Athena's reaching figure postponed midway as she offered him a pitiful glance. At the end, she couldn't put down the guilt that she caused to their family.

The letters said everything crystal clear. While doing any illegal crimes, each parties took precautions in case any of them caught red handedly. Thus the leader of LG had preserved each letters that were shared between his allies. Most of them came from her own biological mother, the queen mother of Moonshine Castle, Lauren Richards. But the last seeming newly written later was sent from the prince of Dalastia world Prince Ester who showed his eagerness towards Queen Mother's uncertain position in the castle and the existence of her baby who thought killed on that horrible day seven years back.

Her eagerness to know about her baby started growing stronger but Ethan's silence kept her reserved untill he was willing to speak first.

Ethan kept standing mutely as numerous thoughts crashed across his mind like wildfire. From the very beginning, he really thought that the mastermind behind Edward's murder was the queen mother of Vampires. But unfortunately he got to know that their own biological brother played the vital role behind this cruciate murder.

A bitter smile came on Ethan's lips when his thoughts wandered on their past memories. Edward had a pure heart like jade. Even though they all could see through the evilness behind Ester's eyes, Edward always doted Ester the same like his own brother.

Who ever thought that one day..one day his beloved brother would give the perfect idea of killing him?

Ethan knew that Ester was greedy for the position of King in Dalastia world but he never imagined that Ester could be involved in Edward's murder history. The everlasting pain of their family was caused by their own brother, who could he blame in their?

Ethan dropped his gaze over the letters clumsily as his gaze started radiating a killing intent.

How naturally that cruel Queen Mother mentioned about burning his brother alive? How brutally she planned when she got to know that her daughter was pregnant by Edward?

Ethan couldn't wait to skin that woman alive who dared to lay hand on his brother and niece's body. He was boiling in rage that could destroy heaven and earth in no moment.

He inteneded to run away at once but Athena's voice came from his back. Turning around to face the woman, his mood didn't subtile a little and got worsened. His momentarily anger, hatred towards this Richards family won and stopped his rational thoughts from thinking further. His gaze was in fire but Athena failed to notice that.

Lowering her gaze down in guilt, she sucked a deep breath and spoke stammering hopefully,

" Ethan...Is my baby alive? I..I saw the letter that prince Ester has mentioned about my baby..Is..is..she really alive?"

Ethan's expression sank immediately as he momentarily forgot that Ester had sent a letter to the LG leader too as Queen Mother wasn't responding to him. Feeling another gush of anger coursing through his mind, Ethan gulped down slowly and replied quite nonchalantly,

" Yes..she is.."

Athena was completely unprepared for his positive straightforward answer and felt her feet dissolving down into the ground. Her heart pounded faster as a overwhelming happiness flodded through her mind. 

Holding back the choking tongue behind her tongue, she tiptoed behind his back blankly and whispered disbelievingly,

" Why.. why... didn't you tell me then?? You ..you know that I was suffering trumas after that incident."

She paused midway as pain and anger flashed across her reddened eyes. She felt betrayed over the thought that Ethan had purposely hidden her baby from her even after knowing everything.

Is this how he loved her?

Athena couldn't control the emotions that were coursing through her mind and blurted out angrily,

" Why didn't you tell me!! Answer me, Ethan..!! What is my fault..!! Why don't I Know that my daughter is still alive..Why.. just..tell .me..."

She shouted hysterically ignoring the thought that whether anyone heard her or not. At the same time, Ethan had lost his patience of hearing out her accusation. He was already depressed to know that Ester was involved in everything. In his spilt vision, Ester didn't appear out except queen mother but he played the major role in here. From revealing their marriage to their baby, Ester shared each news with Queen Mother and bargained his elder brother's life like a cheap staff.

His emotions were turbulent as his only thought was to destroy each one of them who caused his family's disaster.

Turning around in swish, Ethan faced the enlarged Athena with a solemn face and shouted back more emphasisly,

" Because I didn't want your witch mother to harm my Ayra again. She has suffered enough for your family since she was born. Tell me, what do you expect me to say? You want me to tell you about her so that she can be killed by your mother successfully this time?"

Ethan finished in a breath as his chest heavied rapidly. On the contrary, Athena was frozen in her spot as she didn't had anything to rebuke. But the way Ethan showed no remorse for not telling her caused her so much pain humiliation.

Drawing another deep breath, she murmured looking up at his burning eyes softly,

" But..I..I am her mother, Ethan..You..you could have just told me that she is alive and safe..I have the right to know her existence."

Ethan's anger rose up once again as he took a large stride on her way. Without paying attention to his words, he growled angrily grinding his teeth together,

" Right? What right do you have? Have you ever thought about the consequences before bringing her in this world, Athena? Morever you don't think that you are equally responsible for my brother's death? Tell me, Why did he had to die in your mother's hand? Couldn't you stop him from getting married with you,huh? Why are you acting pity now so that I can give you back your child?"

Athena was stunned before looking up at him astounding. Her body quivered before jerking back from his grip electrocuting. Blinking her eyes abruptly, she murmured lowly,

" Th.. that's it.. You..you still think that I am responsible for your brother's death?"

She waited for his answer and couldn't stop the pain that were suffocating her. Even Ethan was astounded as soon as she repeated his own spoken words.

Opening his lips together to say something, he closed off again as he knew that he had spitted something wrong. He stepped to hug her tightly but Athena took a step back warning him silently to stay there where he was.

Forming into a bitter smile, Athena mumbled,

" I..I should have known that some grudges never fade away Ethan..You have proved it once more to me. Tell me, were you seizing your revenge hiding my baby from me?"

Ethan replied tightening his lips together,

" I was only protecting her."

Athena almost laughed and replied back painfully,

" Protecting her from her own mother? "

Ethan wasn't in his usual mind to think of Athena's emotions that she was feeling right away. Without paying attention to her words, he replied sternly,

" It's upon you whether you believe me or not. But right now, my all attention is on killing Ester and your mother successfully including this whole damn LG group. Also I need to get my sister back from your monster brother, Athena. Let's get the hell out of this villa first."

He spoke before turning around to head outside but Athena spoke causing his pace halting abruptly,

" What about us? "

Ethan jolted before turning around to face her raging face and asked back confusingly,

" What.. what do you mean ... by that?"
