Chapter 58 - Fifty-Seven: Young CEO's Plan

Mark stared at the girl who was bundled up in the farthest corner of the huge sofa, leaving more than ninety-five percent of the space available for Domenic.

The scene almost succeeded in bringing a small smile on his lips but he succeeded in getting a grip on himself before that could happen.

Emily was not the only be who was terrified about her secrets being revealed in front of her brothers.

Mark too was worried about Emily disclosing the secret that Rylan stumbled across her on the very day when he (Mark) took her to the Blue Stone Club House.

He had kept that information hidden from his brothers and if it was revealed at such a point where Rylan was considered as the prime suspect behind the mall incident, there was no way Domenic would let him go easily. 

He never would have guessed that his decision of bringing Emily to the Club House would end up bringing her on the radar of Rylan Sullivan.

The reason she picked Rylan's attention was her familiar features and the fact that he found her in the waiting room that was personally booked under the name of the Alessandro family. 

Even though the charm that kept the rest of the world from realizing the similarities in her facial features with the Alessandro brothers was working in full force since day one, but looking at the fact that Rylan was the Second Young Master of the Silver Dawn Pack, it won't be shocking if he was able to look past the spell that hid Emily's identity.

If that day Mark had been a little patient and less impulsive, it was possible to save Emily from Rylan's curious grasps. 

However, at that moment all that Mark could understand was that his little sister was targeted by their rivals.

He just wanted to keep her safe and hidden from the eyes of Sullivans and the Silver Dawn Pack.

Little did he know that his interference would lead the Second Young Master of the Sullivan Family to become curious about Emily and her relation with the Alessandro's. 

A soft sigh, that was barely audible, left his lips as Mark remembered one of his stupidest mistakes ever.

On the other hand, his brothers had been quiet for a long time by now, even though it was barely a few minutes in reality.

Emily looked into the familiar dark green orbs that belonged to her eldest brother.

His hand that had been holding her chin to prevent her from looking down at her favorite bunny slippers finally slid down to grasp her small hands.

"Emilia, we are not questioning you about afternoon's incident because we are angry at you. Rather, we are asking this question because we worry about you and your safety." 

Emily nodded her head lightly at Domenic's words. She too was well aware that her brothers were worried about her safety. However, that did not exempt her from her fear. 

"I know." She softly whispered back in reply.

"Good. So, do you think you can tell us exactly what happened in the mall?" Daniel asked her as he took a seat on the small wooden coffee table to be a little closer to her.

Emily was silent for a few seconds before she found herself nodding her head, her eyes still looking into Domenic's deep gaze that almost challenged her to spat any nonsense at the moment except for the truth.

"I-I..."

She stopped for a second or two to inhale a deep breath and collect her thoughts.

A warm hand landed on her right knee and squeezed it lightly in assurance. Her eyes traveled towards the owner of that hand and landed on her most favorite brother for the time being.

Daniel gave her a quick nod of encouragement with his usual warm smile as he looked at his baby sister with pure love.

Emily's eyes traveled to look at the rest of her brothers. They all were looking at her with warm eyes, Leo was even beaming at her as he put his white pearl-like teeth on display.

The only person whose mood matched with hers was the brother who was staring at her from the farthest corner of the room.

Another small sigh made its way out of her lips as she returned her focus to Domenic before she started reciting what exactly happened in the mall.

"What is your plan?" 

The elder man in the dark grey suit, who looked in his mid-fifties, asked the young CEO who was toying with the pen drive that he held in his hands.

"Even though you have taken down most of the evidence but if I'm not wrong then Domenic and his brothers already know about Rylan breaking the rules of the agreement. As long as they are aware of this, there's no meaning in trying to erase the evidence of what happened." The young man replied as he tossed the pen drive in the middle drawer of his office desk.

"T-then....what are we going to do now? Breaking any of the rules of the peace agreement is a punishable crime. Moreover, Rylan has broken one of the five most important rules of the treaty!" 

The panic was clearly heard in the voice of the old man as he asked the question out loud.

Completely opposite to him, the young CEO looked as calm and normal as his usual self.

At the elder's question, a small twitch appeared on his lips as he replied, "Since they have Rylan in their grasps for breaking the rules of the peace treaty, we can use the same method to save him." 

The old man looked totally confused as he tried to understand exactly what the CEO was trying to imply.

"What are you planning, My Lord?" The elder once again repeated the same question that he had been asking ever since he stepped inside the office of his lord.

"Don't worry too much about these things. I'll handle this situation on my own. I won't let anything happen to Rylan, promise!" 

The words that came out of the young CEO's mouth were filled with power and assurance.

The old man nodded his head as he too was very well aware of the power that his Master's promise held.

Though he seemed harsh and cold most of the time but there was no way that he would let anything happen to his younger brother.
