Avenging My Mother

CHAPTER 4

I got into my car and called my big brother, actually my step brother. My father got Linda, Justin's mother pregnant before he married my mother. My parent's marriage was arranged for the benefit of power. But they fell in love since it was not their wish to get married. In the end, it worked. Unfortunately, my mother died.

"Justin meet me at the usual place," I said to my big brother.

"Whoow hello to you too little one, my fine thank you for asking," his voice reached my ears irony all over. But I end the call.

My mother never hated Justin or his mother because none of them was to be blamed. In fact, they would have been a legitimate family if it hadn't been for the greed of power. Before my mother died he told me that I had a big brother and I should always love him and treat him well. That I have never forgotten. When my father married Pamela she tried to kill Justin and Linda, I overheard her on the phone but it was too late. I managed to save Justin but Linda wasn't so lucky and she was killed. But the b***h thinks that Justin is dead too.

I made another quick phone call to Wren and asked him to get Riccardo and meet me at the same place but this time I gave a different timeline so that Justin and I could have a good time of talking.

I few minutes later I'm in the VIP room of my nightclub...it is the biggest in town and no one knows the owner well no one of the board members. Pushing the door open I was surprised if not impressed to see Justin set already all serious. I would have laughed but this is not the time. My father also thinks Justin is dead.

"What's wrong," he asked.

"I met father today," I told him. He frowns and asks.

"So that's what's wrong,"

"He is handing over this position to Liam," I tell him.

He leaned down on his sofa and narrowed his eyes.

"What's the plan," he asks.

"What do you think,"

I trust Justin More than anyone else in this world he is the only other person I trust with my life apart from Wren and Riccardo.

" I'm okay with anything you come up with but we should be very careful, this is the day we have been waiting for all our lives we have technically sacrificed so much for this day any slight mistake it's over," he said.

"Don't worry I have everything under control," I assure him.

I laid out all the plans to him then I checked my watch we still had around ten minutes before Wren and Riccardo.

"Have a date," he asked.

"No, Wren and Riccardo should know beforehand," I told him.

"Yes, also they need to prepare and keep the Reds stand-by for anything. We don't know how it will go," he adds.

A door sounded and Wren and Riccardo came in.

Thirty minutes later everything is said and the rest will be put into action.

"I have to go and have some rest, have a good one guys," I told them.

"Wait," Justin grabbed my hand. I turned and looked at him. His face was perfectly masked.

" Anything you want to add," I asked.

"No, I just want to walk you out," He said.

"Okay," this isn't just walking me out though I can feel it.

Outside the door, Justin tried to fight in his mind but he couldn't so he just asked.

"Who is Titan's father," he asks holding my eyes.

"W. What?" I was shocked this was not what I expected to hear from him, and why would he even ask that after five years?

"Who is he, Nana?"

"I don't know," I lied.

"You do," he said, "I'm not stupid and you are not too, You want to keep it a secret but not from me. We only have each other, at least I know I only have you," f**k I can't when he says those words. He is not wrong though but for some reason, I can't give out this information it feels like a betrayal I don't understand.

" I mean it, Justin, I was drugged I don't remember anything," I hate lying to him I always tell him selective truths if not everything.

He tensed and gave in. "Okay I trust you, never give me a reason not to," he gave me a tight hug and held me to his broad chest. I hugged him back and leaned to find some comfort and those deep ocean-blue eyes stared into mine in the memory of Xaden and me that night.

I dragged my mind out of the memory and pulled myself from Justin's embrace. We took the elevator down and started chatting about our childhood, we reached the ground floor and as we walked along a corridor that separated the washrooms and the main club, I saw a slim woman's figure at the corner of my eye standing in a way-like she was following someone secretly. She didn't see us. So I pulled Justin's slave to a corner and tiptoed in the woman's direction. Justin had seen her so he stopped me, "what are you doing?" he whispered I almost burst out into laughter but I held it down.

"what's she doing," I said pointing at her in the same voice manner as him. He shakes his head and decides to follow.

Just before we reached her she turned to look at our direction.

My eyes opened wide and I was surprised to see Reem, she was my schoolmate. And my best friend. she was just as surprised as I was by the look of her expression.

"Nana!" she shouted and ran to me I snapped out of my dream back to reality but it wasn't a dream it was really Reem.

" Reem?" I braced myself for a hug that would have knocked me down. She squeezed me right and I squeezed back.

"What are you doing here?" she looked behind me and her cheeks were red, she blushed and said "I came here for a drink and got bored and I was just going to the washroom.

"Oh, okay," I said with a deep thought she was lying.

"Your boyfriend?" she asked offering Justin a hand for greetings but looking at me.

I smiled and asked sweetly, "Yes, isn't he cute?" her blush grew and there was a little disappointment in her eyes.

'She likes him,' I said in my heart. In college, I have never been interested in men ever. Justin gave her a disgusted look that said hey back off. I can't hold it anymore I burst out laughing so hard that they were both surprised.

"It has been a long time since I heard you laugh like that, Justin said in a tender voice that always found talking to me or Titan. Reem was surprise to here him talk like that.

"Well yeah, I told them, I can't believe Reem is here.
