CHAPTER 54

PAST
"Ares, I was called in the principal office before this day, I might need to hold off a while to go."
Truth to be told she did not wanted to go for Hector has warned her but wished to investigate about the entire matter.
Aurora sighed looking at the half eaten cold sandwich. The maids have always been extremely strict to her diet as instructed by her mother. She might have had already left for the office of Gregory Asis if it had not been the maids that begged her to sit down and have a full warm meal that they will prepare or the Queen might as well would fire them.
Looking at the clock and listening to Ares's voice on the other side of the call, the princess missed her home much more now, missed her mother's home cooked meal and the way their father took them to the local mountain for playing with snow, thus she would have liked to just once for all know that Hector was playing with her about his father and then wrap all the things up and take the fastest flight to Switzerland yet this one task of going to meet Gregory Asis who had told her on phone that he would like to apologize for Hector's behavior was left.
He did not sounded like someone who was apologetic.
"Aurora, I had not allowed the soldiers to guard by your side so that no one could get suspicious, as I said before please refrain from mingling with unknown entities for your own safety, your flight is at midnight and by then your bodyguards will reach your home to escort you.
I hope to see you at home little devil" The phone was disconnected with a beep making the girl smile lazily. Mafia Royalty had strict etiquettes, even while talking with family in ceremonies or during a conference, the hierarchy should be maintained yet usually Ares despite being straightforward and cool while conversing did told her time to time that she was his little sister.
And the way his mind could choose right from wrong despite not knowing the situation was what made him capable to have half of the throne. Just like Aurora, Ares too could sense that this entire fiasco regarding this 'principal' looked sketchy.
"Then I will not go." the brown haired girl whispered to herself trying to calm a strange sensation developing in her heart, it was a disturbing feeling as if chaos was wrapping her up in its blanket.
'Don't go Aurora.'
Why did he said that? Was it logical to threaten someone to this extent and despite that show such innocent and pure expression of fear, Hector was terrified when he said that.
But why?
"Don't go anywhere near that monster....I searched for Graham all over the school and he has left, I need to go home as soon as possible." By the looks of it Hector was already at his home and according to the time it was already 6 PM, two hours late to when she had been invited.
" I hate you but even in this deep hatred I cannot bear to leave you." The mafia princess collected the three guns on the table before strapping in her jacket.

"W-What is happening? God! What are you doing?"
"It would be better if you step aside ma'am, a person had been murdered." Aurora looked at the house infront of her in complete shock, when she arrived there were already police cars patrolling that area with wide orange tapes securing the perimeter.
"Can I please know w-who were the people involved?" The girl felt her voice almost disappearing with terror, was that- NO! She just in morning saw Hector, he was alive, he has to be alive.
"Ma'am, Hector Asis has killed his father Gregory Asis to save his friend Graham Albert from the occurring sexual assault."
Relief
So much relief that one sentence caused her
No matter how much she said that she disliked him but then if she would have been honest, then she always wished that he would improve and live well.
"Officer,here is my id. My name is Aurora Waylon and I would like to talk to your superior handling this case."
The moment from then onwards passed like a blur. The officer did not recognized the girl yet allowed her to have a talk with their superior. Aurora despite feeling panic with ever passing moment where neither Hector nor Graham were visible did her best to remain composed and tell the officer about her identity and asked him to verify it.
The procedure of getting information after that was much more smoother, the police department had informed the girl that Graham was in custody with his mother present and their statement was recorded while Hector after killing his father have gone into the state of complete shock. The medical team had given him a shot of anesthesia and right now he was in the central hospital.
The princess could not help but shiver when the details were opened layer by layer. The officer spoke clearly that Hector Asis was raped multiple times and had a severe case of PTSD. His aggressive behavior was almost non-existent in the all boys boarding school where to the most he was found to do pranks and tease a fellow student.
The activities of bullying and anger have started from when he had returned from from the boarding school.
With eyes wide and her palm clamping her mouth that was agape with horror, a tear escaped those earthly irises.
"Ma'am we will try to provide the child will all aid possible but he has to go to be detained."
Detained? A childhood snatched and still bound with the same iron chains of past.
"I will decide the punishment for him officer and this is the command of the mafia princess."
