31 The other side of the story (1/2)

LANCE FORD DE LAVE

Everyone hates me. They just talk to me when they needed something. After that, I'm back to being a nobody. I got bored of it one day. I realized that they were just taking me for granted so from then on, if they talk to me I don't answer them or sometimes I just glare at them.

I got used to it until one day when Aviana came into my life. I thought that she was just like them but I was wrong. Like a tail, she was always behind me. Following me everywhere I go. She copies what I do, including shooting with a gun. She loved that! She always tells me stories even though I don't listen to her. She just talks and talks. She never got tired of it.

Until the day when she was finally being sent to Russia when she's just 6 years old, I realized her existence became important to me. I pleaded Grandpa not to take her away but he told me one thing that made me kept my distance from her.

”She's not your sister.” He said with an irritated tone on his voice. After what he said, I never saw her again.

But after years went by, I heard she's been killing people for Grandpa. Mom and Dad went to Russia after that but I was surprised when they never return and later found out that they were dead. I wanted to blame her but it is not her fault, it's Grandpa's.

I've treated her like a real sister even though Grandpa didn't want that. To me, she is important that's why I never wanted for her to be hurt. Until I found out that she's been putting her life at risk because of a boy, it was Ace. After she met him, tragic things began to happen and because of Ace. she's no longer beside me. My little sister whom I treated dearly.

”Lance,” Grandpa called. We are inside his office. He's at his chair while I was standing near the windows looking at the car which is parking right now. I texted Ava to come home. She knows what will happen if she can't make it on time.

”Yes?” I asked.

”Ava.” He stated as he took a deep breath and looked at me in the eye.

”What about her?” I asked.

”She's not your sister.” He then stated.

”I know.” I just simply answered. He frowned. I know already right from the start. I will never accept the marriage if she was my sister. Ace is my only brother.

Ava is Aviana's little sister. Just like Avianna, Ava has a warm smile like her. I often hurt her, emotionally and physically. I admit that but all I wanted is for her to hate me. I want Ava to leave this mansion. I want her to stay away from this old man. I don't want to see her hurting but this is the only way for her to stay away.

”Then take care of her.” Grandpa finally talked and walked out of his office. Just as I thought, he will want her dead.
