章節 12: Chapter 12

She strides into the house. Her heart feels alive. She no longer cares what it is, she wants to explore it, she wants to feed on it.

"Ahhh..." She lazily moans.

"Whose car is that?"

She jumps out of frightening.

"Uhm...a friend" She stutters. She walks quickly trying to go to her room. She was not aware her brothers would be in the lounge room.

" That car is familiar" Peace falls into deep thought.

"Who is that?" Zayn blocks her way and redirects her body to the sofa. She rests her body there. She knows she is in it for interrogation.

"A friend I said" She bit her lip.

"Who drops you in your estate?" Nick creases his forehead.

"Surprisingly" She falls into thoughts. The gateman never waited for her to go ahead, it's like he knew him. But then again, the wealthy community is Kyle's territory.

"I know that car" Peace finally speaks out

"Nobody cares about that car. I want to meet the guy who makes you go to an outing without Nick" Zayn had a grim face. She chuckles out of startle.

"Wow! I thought you said I should go solo and when I do, you hate it. You are never satisfied" I shake my head and sigh.

"It's Kyle's car" Peace speaks again with surety of his statement.

Her heart sunk, he is correct. How did he know? She prays they are not friends or related.

"He's my friend" He exclaimed with a smile.

What the hell happened on Earth. Her jaw dropped. But the boys were more vexed than surprised. They twisted their mouths and glance at her with chastening eyes.

"I told you he is bad news" Nick conclude.

"I don't know him, but you can't date our brother's friend" Zayn war her.

She rolls her eyes out of annoyance. "I choose what I want. He's not family, it means nothing"

"Oh, he is family" Peace chews on his crisps. He is calm and his face is not moved by his words.

"What!" They all exclaim. Nick and Zayn fume, while Amica buries her body on the sofa in disappointment. She fell for her uncle.

"Why he didn't say anything, I don't know him" She mutters in despair

"Because he doesn't know you, a lot of us don't know him because he is the youngest from the Rabannes" He put more crisps in his mouth.

Tears leak uncontrollably from her eyes, while she is quiet and not letting a sound escape through her mouth. Her heart is aching, a piercing pain has pierced through her heart and stab it a thousand times.

Her phone chimes. The contact flashes with Kyle and heart emoji on it. The boys peek at her phone and silently glance away. With her breaking down, they don't know what to say anymore. They were fuming that their supposed uncle who is taking advantage of his supposed niece. Yuk! How disgusting of the picture, they can't even fathom that picture in their minds. They pray that no physical sexual acts have taken place because that would be a hard pill to swallow.

"Hello" Peace picks the ringing call.

"Peace. Why are you picking Amy's phone?" He sounded surprised

"Because Amy is my sister" Peace's voice was firm and calm. There was a stretch of silence. He patiently waits for Kyle's reply.

"Oh...I wish I knew that early" His voice was denser

"Now you know" Peace chews on the remaining crisps in the crisp bag. The boys eagerly watch him handle this abomination. At the same time, they are glancing at their sister's tears dry on her cheeks, she is sitting staring into the wall like a lifeless being. They prepared themselves to help their sister through her first heartbreak.

"You don't care?" Peace sit upright startled a bit by Kyle's words.

"I love her and nothing matters. I will leave her alone, if she says it with her mouth straight to my face" His voice was now cold and stern.

Damn it! Peace should have known that the Rabannes are a hard nut to crack.

"I am on my way there and don't try to get into her head" He commanded Peace and end the call.

He glared at the phone, then shake his body. He threw his phone on the sofa. He gets up and walks barefooted to the kitchen. "He is on his way". He turns the faucet on and fills his glass.

He walks to the sofa and sits. He watches the almost ghost of his sister. She is not even fixing herself. The atmosphere is was too cold, so they sat in silence. There is nothing that they can say to make their sister stop having feelings for a man she should not be with.

After minutes of silence, they hear the doorbell. Zayn opened the door and he was met by a giant of a man in front of him. Oh, he is a Rabanne. The extreme grandeur that matches with his commanding presence. The man passed through with his eyes seeking for the only person, Amica, his love.

He saw her image turned into a lifeless being on the sofa. He hurried and cupped her dry torn face. His eyes could not stand to witness her this way. He held her in his embrace. She started to sob uncontrollable in his broad chest. She sobbed, her brothers could not stand to witness this saddening farwell. They evacuate the room to give them space.

" It is okay" He tries to soothe her.

"It is not. I love you. It is not okay" Her voice is quivering accompanied by the piercing pain."It is not okay Kyle"

"I love you and you are all that matters. I promise you we will be okay" He tries to comfort her as much as he is comforting his aching heart. This can't be the end of them. A tear roll down on his right cheek.

"You are my uncle and I am your niece" Her sobs increased. It is pain to her heart. She gasps for air as she sobs.

"Not everything is as clear as you think it is Amy. Just put your trust in us. Please..." He squeezed her so tight.

He can't lose her. He will do everything in his might to have her in his life. He can grovel for her to her father. He is willing to lose his pride for her. Titles and prestige mean nothing if it is not with her.

"Stay with me" He begs her with his voice cracking and almost undetected. She just held on to him tight and sob. The least she could do is hold him one more time before she has to set him free. She is not ready to defy her family for a man, especially a man who is her unknown uncle.
