“You’re back from your trip,” He pulled away, regarding her.
“Kind of. I’m just here to resolve some issues that include breaking up with my husband,”
And just like that, he spent the next minutes or so chatting with Emily. Niles discovered his sister had so many more problems than he thought and how negligent he had been to her.
“Don’t worry, I will take the test and see if I’m eligible for the marrow transfer,”
“Don’t worry, I’ve found a donor already. Akim should have the surgery once I’m back,”
“I’m so sorry. I got absorbed in my problems to realize you too needed my help,” He said sincerely.
“No, it’s okay. You have your life to live and I have mine. I can’t keep depending on you for everything, Niles. Moreover, father contributed to all this problem because of his quest for power and you wouldn’t be able to understand how much I hate him right now – no offense,” she spoke with so much bitterness.
Though it wouldn’t justify what he was about to do, Niles was somewhat relieved by her sister’s comment. He had been wondering how he was going to look his sister in the eye after murdering their father, turns out she cared less.
“Then why are you here if you can’t stand the sight of him?” he asked.
Emily looked him straight in the eye,
“I’m just here to say goodbye, Niles. I can’t stay in this family anymore knowing I would see his face every day and get reminded of everything he did to make my life miserable,”
“Do whatever makes you happy but you should know that I would never let you get hurt again, I’ll finally do what’s right, “He clasped her face and pulled her closer, hugging her once more.
“I pray you find a man that loves you, sister, ” He hoped.
“Oh, I did,”
Niles pulled back, surprised, “You did, already?”
“Let’s just say luck shined on me again but don’t worry, you’d know soon anyway,”
Niles pursed his lips thoughtfully, he just hoped this new guy was reliable else he’d send him to an early grave – without her knowledge of course.
“I’m sorry Emily, but I have something to take care of so I might need to take my leave,”
“Of course, no problem,” she didn’t stop him.
“See you later,” Niles excused himself.
He walked past the room of schmoozing guests to reach the entrance.
“Has Eden made his appearance,” he asked the security in charge of letting the guest in.
“No sir, he hadn’t been seen yet,” was his reply.
Strange, Niles mused.
“Thanks for your time,” he patted the man on his shoulder and went back to the party.
Niles scrutinized the guests around, wondering if Eden had sneaked in unnoticed. However, when he came up with nothing, left for the garden to make a call since it was noisy inside.
“Hello, you have reached Eden. The reason I haven’t picked up is because you have been rejected. Thank you,” Niles was treated to Eden’s ridiculous voicemail.
“Seriously, pick up, you son of a biscuit,” Niles yelled into the phone, “Ugh!” this wasn’t some sort of prank, right?
After a while of transferring his aggression on the phone, Niles decided to make use of his brain. Could it be that something happened to Eden? It wasn’t entirely impossible.
Adam was an extremely smart man, had he somehow figured out their plan tonight. It was unlike Eden not to pick up his calls on such an important day unless someone got to him first.
Uh no, Niles’ expression changed. His life was in danger and so was Eden, hence the reason for his absence. He had to leave now.
“Jesus Christ!” Niles almost suffered a heart attack when he turned around to see his father.
“Why do you look scared, son? Did you see a ghost,” Adam asked expressionlessly.
Niles swallowed, he was treading on dangerous ground here and had to be very, very, careful, “You just popped out of nowhere, why shouldn’t I be scared?”
“If you say so then,” Adam a step took forward.
Niles was hyperactively aware of that move.
“Why aren’t you at the party with your fellow merry folks,” the man inquired.
“I came to call someone,” Niles lifted his phone as evidence.
“You mean Eden?”
Boom!
At the mention of that name, Niles lifted his gaze slowly to meet his father’s.
“You shouldn’t bother, he’s at a comfortable place,”
Niles was about to lunge at Adam, but he was restrained from behind by some men that came out from their hiding place. He had intended to capture his father and use him as a hostage to escape here but Adam saw through him. After all, he was the one who taught him that strategy – every wicked move he ever knew.
“Let go of me, you bastards! ” He strived to be free but the men overpowered him.
“Since you have decided to be a thorn in my side amid my effort to give you a better future, I have no choice but to get rid of you – before you get rid of me,” Adam disclosed.
“No, don’t you dare,” Niles warned the man bringing the drugged fabric to his face but his threats were useless.
