"Cassian please! Take me with you! He...he is my brother, I can't... I will be stressed for him!"
I practically requested him, to let me go on with him.
I was begging him and it was unknown to me, as to why was I having tears in my eyes, because I was...
My eyes brimmed with tears, the same ache in the back of my head, and emptiness in my chest.
"Shh calm down!"
Coming close to me, his hand went on my cheek, caressing my cheekbone with his thumb.
"I promise, I will keep you updated! He will be okay! I will bring him back, okay?"
Giving me a slight nod, he took my hand in his, and was about to peck it, before stopping midway.
"I- I'm sorry!"
Realisation dawned on him, as he backed away and got down off the bar, taking out all the bags that belonged to me, lining them on the porch, signing the guards to take them inside.
I was still sitting in the car, frozed on my seat.
How could I stay?
How could I calm down? Even if I wasn't his sister, he was my brother! This world made me his sister, and him my brother.
So how can I just sit and wait for some news...how can I?
Opening the door for me, Cassian held out his hand for me.
"Please Laurel! Don't do this, I need to go! Kalix needs me!"
"He needs me too! I just have to make sure that he is okay!"
"I am going to him! You are not safe right now! And I... I can't risk it! I can't put my friend and you at risk at the same time, please don't make it difficult for me! I don't want to fail at protecting you!"
He went on his knees, on the road, in front of me, while I remained seated in the car.
"Trust me, just this once, and I promise, I will bring your brother back to you, even if it means that I will have to sacrifice myself...trust me...just this once, even if you haven't before, then do it, I don't care if you won't trust me in the future, just let me Keep you...and my friend safe at the same time!"
He was practically begging me, my hands in his, while he was on his knees Infront of everyone...
The guards, the gardener... everyone staring at us...at him, but for him it was just me there.
"Please?"
———————————————
I stared at his disappearing car, my heart filled with unease while prayers on my lips.
Please god! I know I am not a good human, and I know, that I don't deserve a family...but please keep him safe, keep Kalix alive... don't take him away like you took Luca away from me...
Please...keep him beside me!
The guards had taken my bags inside, but I stayed there, at the same spot where Cassian had made me stand, hoping...praying that maybe Cassian would feel liel taking me along him, thinking that Kalix might need me.
I hope he...takes me...with him.
But he didn't came back, instead the staff women had came to me...calling me inside.
Even when I walked inside, I kept turning my neck, looking at the gate witht he constant hope that his car might come.
The staff helped me up in my room, and helped me sit on the bed, all the stuff I had brought from the apartment was kept near the bed, on the floor.
My head was throbbing, with my scary and obnoxious thoughts swarming inside my mind.
How can he get into an accident?He... was okay? Then how can it happen?
Could it be- but no! Franklin is under arrest how can he? No! it's not possible it might be an accident.
he may not be the only person after Laurel, maybe he was just a sacrificial goat for someone! Her life might still be in danger.
Cassian's word from the station echoed in my ears.
What if his assumption was correct that means...Kalix?
No...no it's not possible...
I was getting more and more anxious, walking to my bags, I succumbed throigh them, taking out my anti-anxiety pills from it.
Taking a single pill I gulped it with water, yet it didn't made anything better infact I could feel it worsen.
My vision began blurring up, tears streaming down my cheeks...my hands trembling with fear in my heart.
One...two...three...four...five...
Taking more pills out of the bottle, I stared at my palm full with them.
Before gulping each and every pill with water.
The ache began easing up, as I heaved out a sigh of relief, leaning my back against the headboard, I stared at my whole room, that felt like was crawling closer to me.
My vision blackening Infront of my eyes, with weird screams ringing in my ears.
"Stop it...please stop it!...for god sake stop it!"
Covering my ears I looked around, hoping to find someone, the person behind it.
Standing up from the bed I walked to the attached bathroom, holding the wall as my support system...but the whole bathroom was empty.
"Fiammetta!"
My eyes widened as I turned around swiftly.
"Luca?"
I whispered, not able to believe my ears.
"L- luca...is this you?"
"I'm here Fiammetta!"
The same Italian accent that rolled off his tongue, only when he called me by that name, just him calling out my name, and the room felt spacious, no longer the same suffocating place from secons ago, the darkness began turning normal.
It was from the balcony! The voice was coming from the balcony, There was a curtain that separated, the room from the balcony.
Luca was on the other side of the curtain.
"Ms. Miller, Mr. Miller is back from work, and is calling for you!"
With a knock on the door, a maid spoke from the outside.
Logan was home.
"I'm here love!"
Luca's voice again came from the balcony, but this time...there was a weird tone to it and...
Love?
I stopped on my tracks...this...no! He never called me this....
Luca...was dead...he was dead.
The scene from just the morning replayed in my mind, making me feel like laughing at the shocking reoccurrence.
I took steps back, until my thigh stub on the bed.
I quietly walked to the door, not turning away my face for second, and opened the door to get out of the room, when the person Infront of me stabbed a pointy thing in my neck.
"K- Katherine?"
My voice broke, as she pushes her thumb on the plunger of the injection, stuck in my neck.
The liquid burned my body from inside, before I collapsed on the floor with a loud thud, and I could hear her snicker at me.
"Kalix is dead...and so are you... and now the only person left... is that stupid bitch, who sent you fight her battles for her."
What?
My vision, that had cleared up turned opaque, black everywhere.
And gradually my mind, and body... everything began numb.
————————————————
Wincing at the headache, I rubbed my forehead, and sat up straight.
Looking around the whole place where I was.
Am I kidnapped again?
This whole time, the whole time I was here, I had thought that Katherine was after me, just because, just because Laurel was her step daughter... Who knew...who knew that she was actually with Franklin, stirring up conspiracies against me.
Keeping an eye on me, and when I left the estate, Franklin was set out to get me.
And I came back, I fell right at their trap.
Cassian was right, Franklin was just a sacrificial goat to them...
I looked at my hands, where there was no rope, no handcuffs... I was lying freely on the bed, without any restraints.
Getting up from the bed, I walked to the door and got out of the room, as I entered a living room, full lively, plants and fosh aquarium and many more things.
This...is wierd, this is either a trap...or I am still dreaming...
I looked down at my hand, where there was no plaster anymore.
The heck? Why didn't I...notice this anymore.
Where was the bandage, with trembling hand I pressed on place where the bone was broken.
And surprisingly it didn't hurt, it wasn't painful at all... I wasn't wincing, like I used to.
My hand wasn't red... It was normal...as if there was no wound from the start.
I swallowed a lump in my throat, as I could my mouth drying up, and while walking around the place, I saw a news paper lying on the round dining table.
I snickered at myself, reading the newspaper Infront of me.
