"Kiari." he did a single nod, that's how Baron greeted me.

"Baron" I do the same.

"I guess our plan for today was postponed, What are you planning right now Kiari?" He asked me, maintaining his stared straight forward to the sea.

I sighed "She wanna talk to him." I said deeply cold. Shaking my head, I am against Selina's decision since then, I just gave her a chance.

"Talk to him for?" he asked rose his eyebrows at me.

"She believes it's for good," I said coldly.

"And you let her?"He questioned, his voice was outraged and there's a presence of disagreement.

I nodded " I was against to that Baron. I can't put her life in danger. But I can't do anything as well." I said deeply, I sighed and close my eyes for a while. I'm stressed, she wasn't listening.

"Love really makes people stupid."He said nodding and twisting his lips upward., I looked at him and he rolled his eyes, crossing his arms.

"Shut up Baron you're not helping," I said casually.

"Man, You have to hold her. She needs to stay out of this."He said tapping my shoulder.

"I'll let her talk to her Dad. But nothing changed the plan must go on." I said looking at him more seriously. He nodded.

"How?" He asked placing both hands in his waist.

But I can't find her, my heart beating so fast and I'm breathing rapidly. I saw a flower on the couch, Nothing was written. I asked the receptionist if they ever saw her, I showed them her picture and they quickly shook their heads. I know they are hiding something. I called baron to track her location, but he has a hard time. Baron came to my condo and we do everything to find her, we watched the CCTV footage and I can see that someone kidnap her, I quickly stood up as I remember something where she might be. I sprinted into the parking lot and getting in my car, speeding through the highways.

When I got home I run to his office. Without knocking I swung the door opened.

"What did you do this time Saynel?"I asked deeply and shot him a death glare. He was puzzled for a moment, I was clenching my fist as angered filling me in.

"What are you talking about Son?" He said, Try to convince me that what he was saying was true. He rose his eyebrows.

"Don't call me Son," I said angrily shaking my head. "What did you do her? Where the hell is she?!" I shouted and lifted him up in his collar. He punched me.

"Looked at yourself Kiari, you're crazy." He said deeply. "I don't know where she was, Maybe she knows everything now. I told you she won't stick with you if she will know the real you." He said and walked out of the room. I leaned down on the wall, looked up, and sighed. My phone beep I looked who texted me.

I know this is Selina. I quickly reply.

Me;

Unknown number;

And she never replies. I drove to my condo I don't care if I was over speeding through highways.

"Track these," I said to Baron and quickly hand him the phone.

"Found it!" He said and I stood up quickly. Grabbed my guns and slipped it on my waistband, I wore my ballistic armor with my leathered covered And I slipped my knife. And run outside to the parking lot and getting in in my car.

I slowly entered the house, many men guarding Timothy's house.

I looked where I can go to get inside quickly. I climbed at the wall, the window was the best and safest way. I climbed on the second floor. I jumped off from the window, I search where she might be. I continued searching for her, I saw two men standing outside the bedroom door, I need to get inside I know she was there. I walked over to them and had a fistfight with them, I dodge all there punches and when I got the chances, I snap one men's neck.

Next is the other men he took his knife from his pockets I immediately twisted his hand and pulled the knife and cut his neck. I get inside, more of men was there than I expected. They are 15, and fucking Jack he's holding Selina, They all point their gun at me and Jack aimed his gun to Selina. I took 1 step, and he closely aimed the gun to Selina.

Selina was crying, her mouth was covered with tape. Her eyes are swollen. And she was shaking her head.

"Take another step Kiari and this girl's head will be blown off." He said deeply threatening, and he bites his lower lip. I looked at him with a death glare.

"Let her go," I said deeply dark. I was clenching my fist. He snickered.

He nodded at his one men and it went closer to me. He was holding round steel and hit my back.

I have gritted my teeth as I was stopping myself to react. I hold the round steel and he tries to pull the trigger of his gun aiming to Selina. He rose his demonic eyebrows and smile idiotically.

Then hit me on the knees and cause me to bend down. I stared at him with a death glare. And he snickered. And they hit me again, Selina was crying out, I close my eyes and clenched my fist. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes, I just restrain myself.

"Close your eyes, Selina," I said grueling and her tears fell and she nodded she close her eyes and I stood up despite the pain. I stood straight clenching my fist and they start hitting me. I was stopping myself from groaning.

Jack stopped them.

"How does it feels like being tortured kiari?" He asked sarcastically and he lifted up his eyebrows.

"I do the tortured all by myself Jack and you depend on your men, You're a coward hahaha afraid much? bastard?." I said deeply insulting. And rose my eyebrows. He quickly walked over me, his footstep was hard. And he punched my face.

"Haha, stupid Jackass. You do what I said, you punched me now just to prove yourself strong." I bite my lip and he punched me again. He grabbed my collar and looked straight into my eyes.

"Shut up! Scoundrel!" He shouted. We sighed and stood up properly when Timothy entered the room.

He stopped in front of me and looked at me, He smirked. I saw Charles behind him, I stared at him with deadly glared. He looked away.

"So we had the guest," Timothy said and walked to Selina.

"Oh, my dear daughter how are you? You're still alive?" He questioned sarcastically and he slapped her. How could he do that to her own daughter? He's really a heartless man. He harshly removed the tape that covered her mouth. Selina starts breathing rapidly.

"Oh, it seems like your Mom was not telling you yet." He said sarcastic and he sighed. He brushed my hair and suddenly pulled it.

"You are not my daughter. Your Mom was pregnant with another man. And you are born mistakes! you ruined our life." He said I was shaking my head I can't believe this, This is too much to handle. I can't breathe I'm not her daughter? I'm a mistake? everything tangled up my life is meaningless that I thought.

"Bye-bye Kiari Gray. Oh! I'm sorry you're Zyne already. I almost forgot that I killed your family." What I heard triggered me to kill him. But with a simple move, Selina's head will be blown off.

"You'll pay for this. I swear." I said darkly threatening.

"If you still can see me." He shrugged and aimed the gun in the middle of my head.

I heard a shot of the gun and the gun that he aimed to my head hurtle away. I saw Baron aiming his gun on Timothy, And my men entered the house.

They all pointing guns to each other. Timothy, startled. I walked quickly to Selina and Jack hold her and aimed the gun on her head I stopped. I saw Charles plucking the gun from his waistband and shot Jack on his head. The blood flood in the room, Selina screamed and Charles soon hugged her. I clenched my fist and pulled Charles away from Selina. I hugged Selina and we walked out of the room, I heard a resounding shot of the gun and I turned behind.

"Charles!" Marco shouted, And sprinted to Charles he grabbed the gun off from Charles hand and shot the men that killed Charles. I immediately covered Selina's ear and hugged her so she won't see that.

We walked out of the room and left my men and Baron inside.

We get in the car and I drove to Montana Glacier National Park.

I opened the car door for her and reached her hand she leisurely holds mine. I hugged her tight and she began sobbing, I rubbed his back and she squeezed me. I know she's terrified and scared at what she had just witnessed.

We seat on the grass and glancing at the lake. Where the skies full of stars touching on the water.

She was leaning on my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around her. I heard her sighed. I know she's devasted right now, This night must be the most terrible

night for her.

"Kiari." She said low.

"mmm?" I question rubbed her shoulder. She wiped her tears.

"This night is a terrible one. I just found out that he's not my real father and Mom was lying to me all these years. And it was my first time to encounter this killing scenes." Was all she said and sobs.

"Everything will be alright," I said rest assured.

"I hope so." She said her voice was broke. I kissed her head and I heard her sighed. I removed my leather and positions it on her back and she leaned back again on my shoulder.

She closes her eyes and sighed.

"I'm sorry about your encounter," I said and she nodded.

"I proud of you. You know how to say sorry." She said and I rolled my eyes.

"Rest," I said and he nodded.

I notice a lot of changes in me, Since the day I met her. I do what I never have done before. Slowly,  I learned how to expressed my feelings and thoughts. I love her that's all that matters tonight.

She nodded"I was made by mistakes," She said nonchalantly.

I shook my head"You're the mistakes that complete me and the mistake I could die for."I said deeply low. "Rest your mind, just think you are made to be mine." I finished.

"I guess this is your way of making me feel better." She said and smile weakly.

"I love you," I said low and she looked at me, stunned. And soon she smiles brightly. And kissed me and it felt like home.
