TIMOTHY's POV
"I am sorry. please let me tell you
everything before you judge me."
"Start speaking" Tim said.
"Umm... let's sit and talk."
"No. " Timothy said looking in her eyes.
"please." I said giving him the big
puppy eyes. He glanced at me, then
with a sigh he sat down.
"Do you remember Mrs.
Vasquez's ?"
Sofia's mother ?" Timothy asked.
"yes. she threatened me to leave
your father."
But why ?I thought you and she are
good friends ?"
"We were; until I found that she
was your father's classmate. she
always had a crush on your father.
When your father met me in his high
school he fell in love with me. But
she thought he was only with me
for show, later she found put that he
loves me and had already proposed me. "
SO.."
"She played with me all these times,
I thought that she liked me. so I
believed her, until after you were
born. She started harassing me,
threatening to kill me. I was scared
So I told your father but she act Sofia innocently in front of him that he
never believed me. until..."
"Until what ?"
Until one day when she was
threatening me your father heard
her, He was so angry that he told her
to leave and never return. She left
though after all this."
After a long pause she started again.
I handed her a tissue to wipe her
face.
"4 years later, I started receiving
anonymous call holding threats
about you and your father. Your
father tried to trace the call but
everything was in vain. Then one day
I heard Sofia talking to her on
call saying 'yes She is worried and he
tried but I deleted all the data don't
worry mom she will pay for her
mistakes and they will have nothing
left after we are done with them.
I will tear them apart. 'that time I
realized that it was her all along. But
she was me before I could leave and
that day I was kidnapped by her. all
this time I was in their possession."
"Now it made sense that's the reason
you were always suspicious around
her. Mom did they... " He stopped
speaking. pain evident in his eyes
I quickly got up from my seat and sat
beside him holding his hand. I don't
know from where I got that strength
but he did not deny it so. He looked
at me, closed his eves like he was
processing everything in his mind.
I could literally see the wheels turn
in his head. He exhaled loudly and
spoke again.
"Mom did they hurt you ?"
"No. mostly they would starve me,
but rather than that nothing."
" How did you escape then ?"
"Tim Sofia have a twin sister
she was with me in the cell where
kept me. She and I escaped together
but after running for an hour she
changed her route just in case if
there were following us. Two days
ago I was in the alley when a group
of man surrounded me but Hailey
here saved me. I didn't know where
to go but she gave me a place to stay.
why didn't you tell me about him ?
maybe I would've told him about
you "
"I have a hunch that they are
following me, I didn't wanted anyone
of you to get hurt so today after you
sleep I was going to sneak out but
before that He came..and rest you
already know."
You were going to sneak out
tonight ! "I asked narrowing my
eyes.
"I am sorry, I know you would've
asked me a out where I will go and
everything so instead I thought a out
that."
"Now I know where you will go. but
can you make me pasta and then go
please...you make it very tasty... !!"
They both chuckled."
" If you think that they are following
you maybe they will come to my
place as well it's better if you stay
here for a while till I make all the
arrangement for you at home."
"But Hailey.."
"I would love that. You make so tasty
food and its good to have someone at
home when I come back. Don't worry
I'll take care of her. you don't need to
worry about her until she is here."
"I know." Huh he know what does
that mean ? never mind.
How about both of you sit down
I'll make dinner for you." as soon as
she said that my stomach gave a loud
growl embarrassing me before them.
I blushed, didn't dare to look up. I
heard a deep chuckle from Timothy.
"Umm...Hailey why don't you show
me your room.." Tim asked.
"Umm..yeah sure...this way.." I
said leading him back to my room.
though I was not sure why, I mean
it felt creepy for my boss to come to
my room but he was always lenient
towards me so seems fair. So instead
leading him directly to my room I
showed him around a bit. He walked
behind me watching everything
carefully and then at last my room. He walked in my room behind me to take a closer at the picture s that hung at far corner.He looked at them and I look him I see his face with confused. He turned around,"asking,"
"Who are they ?" I furrowed my
eyebrows and answered
" My family. "
" He is your father and the this-" he
pointed the picture which I took
years ago with my brother when he
giving me a piggyback ride around
the backyard. "- who is he to you ?"
" My brother. Do you know them ?"

TIMOTHY's POV
"My brother. Do you know them
She asked looking confused. No
wonder she saved mum from those
people
"No. I just thought maybe I have
seen them somewhere.
"ohh. but they live inbboston who
could you see them ?
"I said maybe princess" she visibly
turned red. Before he could say
anything his mother called them for
dinner
They left her room and made their
way out. While dinner he thought of
his days in training
"Flashback"
"Harder Timothy you are hitting like a
five year old. If you want to pass the
test and get tomorrow's day oft then
hit it with all your force,"you have in
you. "
"But sir, it's difficult when you are
holding it in place and not letting it
budge."
"Think of it like there is a man
standing twice or four times your
Size think then how will you face
him, how much force will you use
then, what will you do to win ? Its is
all up here in your head, whatever
you will think, that will result in
your actions,"
Timothy thought if his father hitting
him for breaking the glass that made
him angrier and all the memories
soon started rushing in and his anger
grew. He shouted in frustration
and hit the bag with all his strength
making the punching back come out
of it's hinges which resulted sir to
stumble few steps back. The bag fell
to the ground with a thud.
"Very good Timothy, Fantastic. " This is
what I was talking about. come on
now take a seat, rest for few more
minutes then you can leave. "
okay sir."
His guide sat in the corner of the
room eyes closed.
Sir, are you alright ?I have never
seen you like this ?"
"I am fine Timothy, I just miss my
daughter."
" You have a daughter sir ?!" That
was new. he never talked like this
about his family. But Timothy knew
he has a son who accompanied
him sometimes to learn from his
father, and of course his wife who
sends lunch for him and Timothy every
afternoon.
" Yes."
"why do you miss her then ?"
"She is a beautiful lady and the
princess of our house... But due to
reasons she left and never returned
its been 6 months we are searching
for her but we can't find her."Michael
came inside and answered my
question.
"oh. I am sorry. do you want me help
you sir ?",,,
"No it's alright I am sure she will
Come around soon enough."
