201 Everything Will Be His

Both decided to return to City B to rest at a hotel before returning to Kuiper Country.

Despite Timothy wanting to return as of this moment, Alissa was already too tired that he suggested for them to rest for a day at least.

After a good days rest, the two of them are now waiting for their evening flight.

"I should apologize for the harsh treatment I gave you back in the grave," he started upon remembering how she was always flung away by him.

Alissa just shrugged, she understood after all, that all those happened because of the confusion inside him.

"Are you ready to face her?" instead she asked, as they eat their early dinner.

"I have no idea," was his reply.

But with the good rest that he had, his mind was clearer.

Though the thought of facing her knowing that she was Nathalie still makes him hesitate.

What would he do?

Would he speak like normal?

Would he tell her that she did a great job surviving?

There are too many things that he can do but has no idea if it is the right one.

"Just do whatever it is that comes first in your mind. You don't have to plan or anything, you don't need to rehearse whatever it is that you have to say. Just say whatever comes first in your mind."

"She didn't know I brought you here nor I told you the truth. At the same time she didn't know what aunt Jacqueline was planning back then when he invited us."

"Yeah I can tell that much, she was a stubborn one after all. Though I find it too stupid on my part," he said with a defeated smile.

"About what?"

"After meeting her and spending time with her, I had glimpses of Nathalie in her childhood, yet I never, not even once consider that I never had such glimpses before I met her."

He looked up at Alissa, "I should have known back then that there is something about her. There are multiple times where she resembled Nathalie so much."

"Her hatred for the hospitals, her hatred for medicines, her childhood sickness. Being a busybody, watching over so many people, there's just so many," he added shaking his head.

"Well she is one hell of an actor anyway, she can face you without showing that she knew you or that she was actually your sister," Alissa commented.

"Thank you," he suddenly said looking straight in her eyes.

Alissa was taken aback by his sudden thanks, "Don't mention it. It is not like I did such a big thing."

"It may not seem that way to you but it is to me and to Xander. You see, he and I couldn't truly leave the Price empire not only because we somehow still were waiting for them but most of all…"

"It is because, this is the only place she could turn to if ever she was abandoned as well."

"Timothy," that's all she could say.

"But knowing that we were left behind in order for her sickness to be cured. It lifted the boulder that had been weighing down on me for so long. If it is for her, I would willingly be left behind over and over again."

Alissa bit her lower lip, another bout of tears are threatening to fall.

Timothy chuckled upon seeing this, "You really are a cry baby aren't you? Not for yourself but for other people."

He reached in his pocket and gave her a handkerchief.

"You cried in the past for Hayley and Amber's fight. You cry last night for our sake and now you are crying for Amber."

Alissa glared at him, 'I am not in the verge of tears because of her alone. It is also because at the very least I was able to help you in some way.'

She didn't want to voice it out. She has no courage for such thing, there are so many things going on in them right now that this would be too untimely to worry about.

She is fine with the way things are, she can worry about her feelings some other time, once Amber's family are settled.

Timothy stared at her and was about to say something when he received a call.

It was from Xander.

"He-"

"I am on my way to Apophis country but I have a bad feeling, I just want to tell you. I need to hang up now."

Xander seemed to only call to inform him, it seems he didn't feel like a message was enough.

But this information instantly made Timothy worry.

The last time he visited, Xander was being tightly watched for over shadowing Glenn.

'Does that mean something happened again? We were never sent to other countries and were locked on Celestial. Why did they suddenly sent him there?'

Maybe intuition runs in their blood but Xander who felt that something was not right gave his brother a call to inform him.

Timothy frowned as he stared at his phone.

"What is it?" Alissa asked upon seeing the look in his face.

"I need to change my flight, I'll have to go to Apophis country instead. You go back to Kuiper," he stood up and went straight to book his own flight.

Alissa seeing the urgency on him didn't stop him or say anything.

Timothy was right on time, that he was able to ride the flight that was about to depart.

"I'm going now, I'll contact you upon my arrival," he said before entering the departure gate.

Alissa checked the time and found out that she still has two hours before her own flight.

She took out her phone and made a call.

"Alissa!! Where are you? Did you and Timothy elope? You disappeared at the same time," Amber said upon answering the call.

"Book the earliest flight possible to Apophis country," was her reply.

Amber furrowed her brows,Apophis was the main country under the Price Empire. Why would Alissa suddenly tell her to go there?

"What happened? Was Timothy taken?" she asked, as she started checking all the flights.

She was not rich enough to have her own private helicopter, she could only rely on her skill to book the earliest flight.

"It's not him, it's Xander. He gave Timothy a call a few minutes ago. It seems it was urgent for he hanged up not too long after Timothy answered."

"Xander? What did the Price Empire do?" she asked.

The flight was booked and it was set to depart in another three hours.

It was the earliest but compared to Star Country, the flight from Kuiper country to Apophis is longer by two hours.

"I don't know, I have no idea but Timothy suddenly feel that something was not right and it seems that Xander did as well. That is why he gave his brother a call."

"I see, thank you Alissa," Amber said before hanging up.

She drove as fast as possible to the airport and upon arriving she found a sit closest to the gate before settling down, opening her laptop and started typing away.

She has no idea what the Price Empire is planning but she will make sure that they won't take anymore from her.

"What about the said promise?" Glenn asked Harry.

"Promise?" Harry suddenly laughed.

"We were duped by that old geezer for so long. I had been watching and there was no such person. No one will appear to make us tremble and fear that everything will disappear from us."

Glenn stared at his father, "How sure are you?"

"I have tried so many things, even back when they were kids that they almost died when they runaway, nothing happened to all of us," Harry said.

"And with it being our country, we can hide it very very well."

Glenn smiled evilly as well upon seeing the confidence in his father.

They have waited for so long, for so many years, waiting to get rid of this sibling that were abandoned by their very own parents.

Finally, the time has come. With them out of sight. He will be able to shine even brighter by taking everything that they have.

Everything will be his.

*****

Madison stared blankly, she came looking for Glenn when she chanced upon Glenn and Harry talking about it.

She was staring blankly at Glenn's face.

He always had this gentle look whenever he was looking at her but for the first time since the time she was in the hospital, she is seeing a sinister look in his face.

She suddenly felt a strong headache coming, she held it in as she didn't want to be caught by them.

Upon reaching their room, snippets of some things she has no idea what appeared in her mind.

And part of it was a sinister looking Glenn as he look down at her.

Or she thinks it was her for she was in the first person point of view.

'Or was that really me and him?'

~"But let me warn you, your whole world would surely crumble if you still try to be curious. Why don't you just live your life as it is? You are having a wonderful life anyway."~

Amber's words resounded in her mind.

'My life would crumble?'

Another scene entered her mind.

It was back when she first woke up in the hospital and pictures of Ashton were being shown at her, telling her that it was him who hurt her so badly.

Then a scene of her meeting Ashton for the first time after what happened came after.

It was when she first came out of the hospital and the look in his face back then.

It was a face filled with relief and sadness, together with it was fear.

"My life will turn... upside down," she muttered before losing consciousness in her bed.
