Chapter 81 - 81: Alexandria's killer

81:

"I was with my son Nathan when we heard the explosion from the kitchen he was following Kierry that night and we were shocked to see her with a group of men ordering them to surround your house and " Alvin took a step back with his eyes closed "Nathan rushed into your burning house and Kierry saw him the next thing I heard was her ordering her people to kill her husband."

Daniella jumped down from the desk her expression showed that she was doubting , she walked closer to him and lifted his chin with her knuckles to meet his eyes.

She squinted memories of that night played in her head , the face of the woman that saved her and the men rushing towards their burning house.

'Kierry saved me. Does it mean Nathan was trying to kill me?' she questioned in her mind.

She looked deeper into his memory, only to see and hear Alvin's conversation with his son.

Then an unfamiliar voice sounded in her mind saying, "do you know them dad?"

Daniella gulped hard she could see the face of Nathan and the look of confusion clouding it.

Another voice sounded, this time it was Alvin, "that's Alexandria Chen and her kids , why are we here Nathan?"

The sound disappeared and all she could see was Nathan staring at her figure with her mom next to her escaping the fire through the broken window and from there she saw her brother's figure watching them.

Daniella's shoulders jumped in surprise when the sound of a gun exploded in her mind. She blinked and slowly came back to reality.

She took in a deep sigh, her breathing quickened as she tried to compose her shaking body.

She didn't want to continue since she already knew how it would end but she needed to know the truth about this family so she gathered all her energy and lay a hand on Alvin's shoulder.

With a firm voice she ordered "don't blink and concentrate on looking into my eyes."

She once again focused on his irises, she watched as his pupil dilated and just like earlier images which soon turned into something like a movie played in her mind.

A voice of Nathan sounded once again in her mind this time, it was panicking and full of worry, "Dad I need to go. A boy is stuck in the house."

"Nathan no!" she heard Alvin shouting but it was too late Nathan was already running towards the burning house.

Daniella watched Nathan's back just like how Alvin watched his son run towards the window , the man was about to climb in when a familiar voice yelled somewhere.

"Make sure that Nathan won't save Danny, if you need to kill them both, then do it."

Shock jolted all over Daniella's body when she heard Kierry's voice ordering someone to kill her brother, her hand on Alvin's shoulders dropped on her side like a withered flower while her knees weakened making her body to fall into the ground.

Her face as pale as a ghost's looked at the wall from there the face of Kierry – painted with innocence flashed on the wall. Her gentle smile and even her melancholic voice played in her ears as innocence as if she was in the room with her.

The only person she trusted after her family died, the person she thought her savior had her brother killed in cold blood.

Body crawling backward like a baby Daniella shivered, her face wrinkling in confusion rose to look at Alvin's face her eyes sparkled with tears .

'It's not true!'

"It can't be" she murmured silently.

Her body stopped when her back felt Evan's desk, she kept gulping as if her throat has been dry for years, her hands shaking uncontrollably lifted and pulled her hair.

Shaking her head Daniella's eyes shifted looking from one direction to another, mixed emotion overflowed in her mind drowning her heart with the truth.

Out of nowhere a maniacal smile curved upon her lips , her shoulders shook as she let out a loud laugh which almost vibrated the whole room.

"That is a lie!" she said, talking to herself.

"Kierry saved me. She-" lips quivering with undeniable emotion opened widely and let out an even louder laugh.

Her hands traveled from her hair to each side of her neck massaging it a bit to compose her emotion "she said, Dr. Lee set up the fire in my house," Daniella continued still laughing while tears and snort ran down her face.

Alvin could see the sorrow on Daniella's face but he was starting to get worried by her reaction. It seemed that she had lost her last thread of sanity after replaceing out that Kierry betrayed her .

He walked closer and kneeled in front of her. He pitied her, despite her beautiful face, a dark and sorrowful past was hidden underneath her mask , something he didn't want his son to be part of.

"You could read minds why didn't you read Kierry's mind?" he asked, wondering about it.

Daniella's face with tears still streaming down from her eyes like water falls lifted to look at him and just like an insane person with a personality disorder, lshe smiled at him with her eyes wide open "are you stupid?" she whispered in between her maniacal smile her lips barely open to say those words.

"I was 16, I had just lost my family. I was grieving!" this time she yelled and it was tainted with sarcasm and agony.

She laughed once again, louder than before "and that freaking woman wanted me to look after her kid. Huh!" she got up unsure where she got the energy after hearing the harsh truth.

"Clever really!" She exclaimed, drumming her fingers on the table angrily.

'Damn it! , was this her plan all along?' She asked herself looking out a window that had a view of the garden watching the gardener cutting the grass peacefully.

'Was she expecting for me to fall to Evan so I wouldn't hurt her kid?'

She let out a long shaky breath, her hands were itching to grab her knife and slash whoever blocked her way, but out of nowhere the face of innocent Selena popped in her mind.

The first time she met Selena, the longing and sadness of losing a mother, Daniella had seen that in the girl's innocent eyes the same look she had after her mother's death.

A small part of her conscience knew that she would never hurt Selena, she just couldn't.

Daniella's mind which was filled with confusion and anger suddenly emptied as she stared at the family picture hanging on the wall.

It was the photo of all the Su Member, each had their own facial expression, but anyone could see the love emitting from it.

'You took away my family Kierry, did you really ask Evan to replace me so I wouldn't hurt your kid or were feeling and decided to give me a family ?'

Having that thought in her mind eased some of the pain that was in her heart, her hands clenched at her sides loosened as she tried to take a deep breath.

She looked at Alvin, his face was emotionless and blank as the white paint on the wall of the room.

"I like your son and as far as I know, he likes me too so" she walked past him walked towards the door and turned the doorknob "suck it up daddy Su I will get Evan " she gave him an evil smirk which enough to make him shiver .

As she was about to open the door, Alvin rushed to her and held her hand.

She turned to look at him with coldness in her eyes but he was looking down at her hand.

"You can't be with Evan" he whispered.

Daniella scoffed "I want him Mr. Su and no one can stop me from getting him " she used her other hand to slap his hands away but instead of letting go, he even gripped her hand tighter.

"I know who killed your mom and the person who framed your friend" he loosened his hold on her hand, he was looking down at the floor to hide the guilt lurking in his eyes.

Daniella's mind froze when she heard his words, she didn't bother to look at him or even ask but she waited until he continued.

And when she heard the name of the person that ended her mother's life, an earsplitting sound of quietness screeched in her ears, the reason why Alvin was pleading her to leave Evan has suddenly made sense.
