Hello to you all beautiful friends.
Another part of Evander and Aliya's story.
Evander watched his sister, as she took Alyia to the guestroom. It didn't escape his attention that she chose the farthest one. It was kind of hilarious. Did she really think that it would prevent him from checking on Alyia if he wanted to?
Perhaps the only thing he had done right that day was to introduce those two girls. Evander thought to himself.
Alyia could certainly use a friend at that time. Even by his standards, which were quite high, what she was going through was incredibly difficult to comprehend. Not only was she in an entirely new environment, with complete strangers around, a totally new world, which was very different from the one she was accustomed to, but also she just realized that she didn't know anything about herself. What was even worse was the fact that, it was her own sister who had betrayed her, and sold her to the wolves. She had leaked their father's research on her, to the medical agencies, had taken their money and disappeared. Of course she hadn't counted on getting caught by a son of a bitch like himself.
She was lucky if someone had done her a favor and killed her already, because the moment she was in his hands, she would wish she wasn't born. They all did when he was finished with them. Although in this special occasion, he wasn't sure if Alyia appreciated him torturing and killing her sister. She was one of those few people with a very generous heart. One of those, who would forgive and forget. And that meant, he had to act civil around that traitor sister of hers. It wasn't easy. The puzzle in Evander's head was almost solved, except for maybe the most important part. Who was the mystery person who had left Dr. Monroe a note all those years ago, and was now responsible for orchestrating Alyia's kidnapping and her delivery to Azure?
There weren't many people in the world who knew about Azure's existence. And those people were some high profile wealthy politicians, entrepreneurs, celebrities or scientists. The problem was that, the person in question, had left absolutely no evidence. It could take time to find him. But he would do it. There shouldn't be a lot of people who fit that profile. But it also could be someone who was working inside Azure.
Azure had two skyscrapers, dedicated to the field of medical research. There were at least about one thousand ongoing genetic projects, running just at that time inside Azure. And that meant, they had hired a lot of very impressive scientists through the years.
He would find that person. But not today. Today his one and only priority, was the girl who was sleeping peacefully inside one of his guestrooms, Thanks to the sedative that Tania had so thoughtfully slipped in to her drink. When had his sister become so shrewd?! Except for disclosing almost about every major secret they had to Alyia, his sister had made him proud that day.
Evander watched Alyia as she slept. The rise and fall of her chest was the most peaceful sight he had ever seen. She looked like a little girl lying on her side, with both her hands tucked beneath her head. The strands of her hair spread on the bed like golden sunrays.
Why in the world did she look so fucking familiar? Unfortunately, now Evander knew the answer to that million dollar question. Because she just had to look completely like his dead love. If Mira was alive, she would have grown to be exactly like this girl. That was certainly why he had lost control when he first saw her. And also the reason, he was so attracted to her all at the same time. The whole situation was so a fucking mess.
He wanted to go down the hall, in to her room and take her in to his arms. He wanted to apologize. For the first time in a very long time, he was really sorry.
It wouldn't be a good idea at all. Apart from the fact that she hated him wholeheartedly, she would have enough on her plate when she woke up.
As much as he hated surprises and the fact that he would never forgive someone going behind his back, breaking just about every rule inside and outside Azure, ruining his program and endangering everyone in the process, now that he considered the situation, maybe he wouldn't kill the son of the bitch who put Alyia in his path. Or maybe he would kill those people with mercy.
After all, if she wasn't in his guestroom sleeping right now, she would probably have ended up captive in a secret medical research facility, in the hands of a mad scientist. Not that he himself, wasn't mad or cruel enough, or that he hadn't done enough experiments on humans before or wasn't doing it just now. And with what he had learned from her father's research, Alyia was truly an interesting and unique object for conducting all sorts of experiments. But for very obvious reasons, she was completely off limits. He would not touch her again, or allow anyone else to touch her ever. He would be content with helping her get out of this mess with as less damage as possible, which wasn't an easy task. Thanks to her sister's actions, all the medical and non-medical agencies around the world now wanted to have her, alive or dead.
She would be safe living in Azure, but she wouldn't be happy. Also based on his and the council's rules, she couldn't stay there for long. In fact he should have deported her the second he knew about her real identity. She was no longer a charge admitted to his program. She wasn't staff. And she wasn't a family member. So he could not justify her presence to anyone. Of course no one in the council was brave or stupid enough to challenge his authority, but for his and her sake, he had to come up with a solution for her problem. One that gave her back her freedom.
Evander put his head in to his hands. DAMN. How did he end up in this fucking mess. How did she become his responsibility?
Alyia opened her eyes. For the first few seconds she was disoriented and groggy. She wasn't in her own bed. She doubted a bed could have felt so soft. It was like she was sleeping on the clouds. The sheets, the room's light, the temperature, all felt heavenly. She could hear the very faint sound of some sort of a music, playing in the background. She surveyed the room. It looked to her more like the inside of a spaceship than a regular room.
Suddenly yesterday's incidents came flooding inside her brain. The kidnapping. Cruel green brilliant eyes. Severe pain and finally her father's crazy words.
She remembered multiple times wishing that she was asleep, that she would get up from this nightmare. However, this did seem to be the reality. What was wrong with her body? Was she even alive or had she died? Maybe she had died all those years ago and had just entered heaven? Again she looked around the room. Furniture so royal and exquisite couldn't exist in the real world. Could it? However judging by what the king of darkness had done to her, she had most probably ended up in hell and not heaven. A very luxurious version of the hell.
She noticed someone was sleeping close to other side of the bed. First she panicked. Then she remembered Tania. Her strange new friend in the wonderland. The Devil's sister who was so very different from him. She was asleep in what appeared to be a silk black robe. That girl was fond of black. In complete contrast to her brother, she appeared to be a normal human being with a kind heart. At least as far as she knew.
"Hey,Ummm..... Tania?" Alyia patted her friend on the shoulder gently.
