Squatting down, grandma Jones caressed Ethan's cheeks and smiled. When he smiled back, her heart ached for her. She could imagine how tough life would have been for the little one in SPIRIT. When she was incharge, everything was normal and she made sure everything functioned in a very lowekey and clean manner but who would have thought that her own daughter would do the exact opposite thing. She also constantly reminded everyone to make sure not to hurt an innocent being no matter what happens.
"How long has he been there?"
Jackie sighed and shook his head, "I have no idea." Without waiting for his mother's reply, he added, "We are planning to adopt him officially."
"You do know that before adopting him, you both have to get married?" grandpa Jones grinned.
Looking at each other, Jackie and Liza nodded their heads, "Yeah, we know that."
…..
Inside Sabrina's room.
Pacing back and forth in annoyance, Sabrina kept murmuring things while stomping her foot in frustration.
George, who had been observing her for quite some time, sighed, "Honey, what are you so angry about?"
"Didn't you see the way that woman was talking to me? How dare she talk to me like that in my own house? And that kid, he is from SPIRIT so what is he doing here? He failed a mission, he should be dead."
Scrunching his brows, he inquired, "What mission and kid? What are you talking about?"
"Jackson brought a woman and a kid home. They treat that boy as their son but he is not, he is from SPIRIT." Without waiting for her husband's reply, she added, "That boy failed to complete his mission, he must be dead but they are keeping him with them and—"
"What mission? And how do you know that he is from SPIRIT?" When Sabrina did not say anything, George frowned, "Sabrina, are you getting involved in that thing again? Did we not have a discussion about this earlier? Didn't we agree on you not getting involved in this again? We are supposed to look for a way to get Silvia out of this mess not—"
"Yes I know George, I am not getting involved in anything," she snapped.
"Then what mission are you talking about?" he inquired, George wasn't having a good feeling about Sabrina's intentions. Everything was great until they were living in the States all by themselves but things turned weird after they returned back to the country. Sabrina started getting inclined towards SPIRIT again and he knew that she was up to something more grief and dangerous. All these years, they had been running from their family and forcing themselves to stay away from all their loved ones. Now all Geogre wanted was to stay close to their loved ones and live a peaceful life without any kind of disturbance from any kind of external factors. But little did he know that Sabrina's plan was completely different than hers.
"Do you remember the last time Silvia was attacked?" When he frowned and nodded his head, she added, "Well, he was the boy who was assigned to kill Silvia."
"What?" He widened his eyes and screamed.
"Not exactly kill but he was supposed to lure her so that it would be easier for Gorus to kill her but he failed to do so. Since Silvia is still alive, the boy failed his mission so according to the rule, he should be dead by now but he is still alive because Jackson is saving him." Groaning in frustration, Sabrina snapped, "Nothing is happening according to the rule, this is all so bad."
"Your daughter was almost killed and lost a baby, her life is still at stake because if the stupid competition and maybe even Jeren's life is at risk but all you are worried about is the stupid rules and why a little kid is still alive?" Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Listen to me Sabrina, we have already made many wrong decisions in haste and our daughter is suffering because of that. Though we can't change the past, we can make the future better. I don't think Silvia will ever forgive us and she shouldn't, we don't deserve her forgiveness but we can at least try to make it up to her by taking her out of the mess. Right now, our main target should be to take her out of this or maybe put an end to this not get involved in this again."
Tightening his grip on her shoulder, he sighed, "We have done many bad things in our lives and may be this is why both our daughters refuse to stay with us, they don't even wanna talk to us honey. I don't know if they will ever acknowledge us but as parents, we should do the right thing."
Wrapping her arms around his waist, she sighed, "I'll try my best."
Kissing the top of her head, he said, "I know you will."
….
Silvia and Kevin's place.
Helping him wear the blazer, Silvia sighed, "I am fine Kev and I'll be okay."
"Are you sure? I can cancel and cuddle with you all night." Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pouted his lips, "I don't wanna leave you alone."
Hooking her arms around his neck, she chuckled, "You are becoming very clingy lately."
"Are you complaining?" he frowned.
"Of course not, why should I?" Fixing his tie, she smiled, "Go and come back fast, I want my night cuddles."
"The program is in the City hall, it's some kind of a boring award function." Scrunching his brows, he complained, "Why do people invite me such boring programs?"
"Why didn't you reject it then?" she inquired.
"It's also like a fundraiser for cancer patients so I didn't want to," he sighed.
Giving him a peck on his cheek, she smiled, "Alright, come back soon."
"I will," he assured before walking out of the room.
.....
A couple of hours later.
Silvia was sitting in the living room reading a book when Lucifer entered the apartment. "Lucifer? What happened?" His worried and anxious expression did not go unnoticed by her.
When he hesitated for a while, she scrunched her brow, "What is wrong? Did something happen?"
