Ayden stood on the far side of the field trying not to get noticed, He stared at the guy with a curious gaze.
“Isn’t he the son of the Scott’s Family? What is he doing here? Are they related to the guy somehow?” Ayden muttered to himself.
Grayson got a call so he picked it up, his face had a frown when he answered the call, after putting the phone down he said something to the girl and left.
When no one was there Ayden walked in closer to the girl,
“Where is she? Tell me where she is!! Where is my sister?” She screamed as she scratched the wet soil with her nails.
“Tell me where is she? Tell me she is still alive...I want to see her once-just once!!” Her throat was sour, she looked miserable.
“Waah!! Ah!! Eryna! I know I have not been a good sister to you!! But please don’t leave me like that,” she banged her head against the ground and wailed bitterly.
“Just take me with you! Don’t leave me here! Just take me away with you!!”
“Miss, don’t do that!” Ayden pulled her back because her head had started bleeding.
“Go away!!” She tried to push Ayden away but didn’t have the strength to do so,
“Let me go!!”
“Miss please don’t be like this, you are bleeding,” Ayden felt bad for her.
“Eryna was bleeding like this when I left her, she was suffering more when she had to live through all those hardships!!” Renya shouted, “I just want to tell her that I am sorry, I want her to know the reason I didn’t go with her that night…” Renya glanced at the other grave that seemed a bit old.
“Mom!! Why didn’t you tell her? Now she hates me!! I know that she hates me, I saw that in her eyes, the day she left, she looked at me with hatred…Why did you ask me to stay with father? Why did you tell me to do that?”
Renya’s tears were flowing unstoppablly, Ayden could feel his heart ache for her but he could do nothing, other then to hug her.
“It’s okay, Eryna doesn’t hate you,”
Renya was shocked to feel the heat of an embrace, she felt safe suddenly. Ayden patted her back while whispering, “Shh...everything is okay, Eryna would be sad if she sees you crying like this…”
Ayden didn’t know what he was talking about but all he could do right now was to console her.
For a long time Renya cried bitterly in his arms, Ayden losened his grip when he knew she would not try to harm herself again,
Her blood had stained Ayden’s clothes but he didn’t bother with it much, slowly Renya pulled herself away from him and sat beside him quietly, they didn’t talk for a while, not until Renya decided to speak.
“They haven’t found her body, they say she must have fallen of into the sea when the cars collided,” She stopped, “ why was God so unfair to her? She didn’t have a happy life nor she had a happy ending!” Her voice got smaller and smaller until she choked.
“You know she was very nice to me, she was brave and strong, she was nothing like me. I am a coward a useless pawn, I wish it was me who had died,” Renya mumbled.
Ayden sat beside her, he listened to her attentively, trying not to miss a word.
“You know? She was sick, she used to tell me that she felt pain in her abdomen, she would faint because of the pain but she wouldn’t let me tell mother, Eryna would sleep on my lap when she would feel the pain, she would say that it doesn’t hurt when I am with her but what about me? How am I suppose to cure my pain when she is no more here close to me?”
Renya cried her heart out to Ayden and he listened to her with open ears, for s9me reason he didn’t want to leave her here, he sat beside her for hours until she saw somebody walking towards them.
“I have to go!” Her eyes flashed with fear and she got up, Ayden wanted to stop her but she ran away quickly.
The person walked in closer and Ayden recognised him. He was the guy from before,
“You are Anna’s son?” Hunter asked.
“Yes,”
“I am Hunter, nice to meet you,” his voice was still hoarse.
“I am Ayden,”
“You might not remember me but, I remember you,” Hunter added, “My mother and your mother are cousins, Me and—“ Hunter lightly pointed at the grave, “Me and Him were very close to your mother,”
“You used to play with us when we were younger,” Hunter added.
“I am sorry for your loss, but there is nothing we could do,” Ayden patted his shoulder lightly and glanced in the direction where the girl had run off in.
From that day onwards Ayden kept on seeing that girl in his dreams, Not only that, he would see her around him every now and then, his days had become a mess. He didn’t know what had happened to him but he always wanted to meet her one more time. But sadly he didn’t know who she was. The only name he did know was the name of her sister Eryna.
When Ayden was leaving the country he was very reluctant at first because he thought he might never see her again. But he had to leave, After three whole years when he came back to the country a surprise was waiting for him at the mansion.
He couldn’t imagine that the girl he had fallen in love with was staying in his own house, At first when Ayden walked into the kitchen he thought it was a maid but when he saw her take out cookie from the jar, his first guess was that she was a theif, but when he unexpectedly scared the life out of her and saved her from falling over the sharp glass pieces, he found out that the love he had been looking for was in his own mansion.
Ayden couldn’t contain her happiness but slowly he found out that she was already married, and what was worst that she was the wife of his brother.
Ayden felt shattered, he couldn’t believe it but there was still hope when he saw his brother was least interested in the girl, he married her under some unfavourable conditions. Ayden decided not to let her go this this time.
