Chapter 205 - Shadow

" Shadow? What do you mean by that?" Kevin asked.

Uncle Thomas sighed and said," When the opposition families started attacking the Jerkoffs, in order to keep them safe, the Evans family stepped forward to protect them."

Pausing for a while, he continued," The Evans family members are warriors. The head of the Evans family treated the head of the Jerkoff family like his master. Just like the Jerkoff's, the first born son of the Evans family is fated to become the shadow of the supposed heir of SPIRIT. His duty is to keep the heir safe from all kinds of danger without caring about his life. Since Silvia is the heir of SPIRIT, Ron is her shadow." 

" So that means you both know who Ron was since the very beginning?" Chris asked.

" As soon as I adopted Silvia, the current head of the Evans family, Ron's grandfather contacted me and told me everything about them. He told me that in order to keep Silvia safe we must keep Ron close to her. Mr Evans was sure that one day SPIRIT will find out about Silvia's existence and they will definitely come looking for her and some people will also try to kill. I reluctantly agreed to his request but who would've thought that keeping Ron close to Silvia will turn out to be one of the best decisions of my life." Uncle Thomas said.

Pausing for a while, he continued," As soon as Silvia turned eighteen, the unusual activities started. Though Herpi and I tried our best to keep her safe but if not for Ron beside Silvia, she would never be able to make it."

" What now? Is there anything that we can do?" Rocky asked.

" We can just keep her safe and away from everything." Uncle Thomas said.

" And that is why we forced Silvia and Kevin to get married." Uncle Herpi said.

" What if the supposed heir loses the competition?" Rocky asked.

" Whoever loses the competition dies." Uncle Thomas said.

Everyone widened their eyes in shock and shouted," What?"

" And what about the shadow?" Matt asked.

" As soon the supposed heir is declared dead, her shadow had to slit his throat and kill himself." Uncle Herpi.

Chris frowned and said," This is bullshit."

" There must be something. There has to be a way to stop them." Kevin said.

Just then the doctor came out of the operation theatre and said," The patient is out of danger now, we will shift nurse Silvia to the room soon." 

After sometime, Silvia was pushed out of the room by a nurse.

Ron quickly took charge and said," I'll do it."

The nurse nodded her head and said," The reports are already inside the room."

Ron nodded his head and said," Thanks."

Just then Janet, Martha and Bella arrived at the hospital.

" Is Silvia alright?" Janet asked.

" She is out of danger now." Chris said.

" Ron your arm." Bella said.

Ron sighed and said," I am alright."

" The wound looks deep, you should go and get it dressed." Martha said.

" But-"

" I'll take care of things upstairs. You go to the emergency room and get it dressed from Garbriel." Janet said.

After the NIS and Janet took Silvia upstairs, Kevin was still standing in front of the operation theatre in a daze.

Chris patted Kevin's shoulder and said," Kev don't worry, we will figure out everything."

" Exactly, we will deal with this together." Matt said.

" We will go and check on Silvia." Uncle Thomas and Herpi said before leaving.

After they left, Rocky said," Kev listen to me. All of this happened because they think Silvia's mother is dead but actually she is still alive. So if we get her mother back, won't everything become normal again? Since she willingly fought the competition to become the leader of SPIRIT that means she wants to lead that gang but Silvia doesn't. So if we bring her back, everything will be okay." 

" I think Rocky has a point." Matt said.

Grabbing his shoulders, Chris said," Now you have to be strong and take care of Silvia properly. Remember one thing Kevin that Silvia is innocent. Maybe Ron is her shadow or protector but for her you are her protector, her shadow. Whenever she is trouble, she will look for you and not Ron or any of us. You have to stay strong and support her." 

" Yes, since we know everything now things will be much easier for us. We have to work as a team and solve everything." Rocky said.

" I'll quickly make arrangements so that we can meet that guy and get more details from him." Matt said.

" For now, go and stay with Silvia. She needs you." Chris said.

Kevin nodded his head and quickly rushed upwards.

After Kevin left, Rocky sighed and said," I have never seen him like this before. Not even when Emily left him."

Matt took a deep breath and said," He really loves Silvia a lot."

" Yes he does and I think he loves her more than he loved Emily back then." Chris said.

" Guys, we have to keep Janet safe too." Rocky said.

" Why?" Matt asked.

" I have a hunch that Janet is trained to be one of the competitors for the leadership of SPIRIT." Rocky said.

" You mean-"

Rocky nodded his head and said," Janet's last name is Brown."

….

Inside the room.

When Kevin entered the room, he quickly rushed towards Silvia and sat beside her.

Holding her hand, he kissed her knuckles and kept on staring at her.

Seeing Kevin's blood stained hands, Bella asked," Kevin are you hurt somewhere too?"

Kevin shook his head and said," No, I am alright." 

Looking at his bloodstained hands, Kevin said," T-this is Silvia's blood." before clenching his hand into a fist.

Martha quickly grabbed a dry towel before rushing towards the washroom. 

After sometime, she came out with a dry towel in her hand and said," Here, wipe your hands first." Before passing him the damp towel.

When Kevin did not say anything, Martha said," Silvia will not be happy if she sees you like this."
