Alaina's pov

Ever seen a bird flying high and almighty, it expand it's wings so that it could reach more and more towards the oblivion of skies but it forgets that the sun which seems to provides warmth of the love and affection that same sun will burn it's wings to the ashes being the very bird's fall.

I didn't asked for the pain, no one does, but it's memories haunting me down to the core never got totally buried. Perfection- all my life I strived for it, lived for it ,but in the farthest corner of my heart I knew what I was- a coward, but I will not stop fighting .

My father was five years older than his tyrant brother making me the heir of the chains of empire passed by my grandfather. But unlike Valace Storm, Papa always loved him and had respect for his brother, and I didn't want to ruin it, I couldn't because he threatened me to kill my parents.

Seeing Cally made my heart hurt, whatever Valace did was always for her. He wanted his daughter to have what he couldn't, he broke me every single day piece by piece, the parts which I am collecting till date.

I remember being so terrified of him. My panic attacks were in the confinement of my bathroom so no one could know what happened.

Valace left Cally because he never wanted her bathed in bloodbath which his enemies would certainly do if they knew what she meant to him, instead he showed care for me, making me always the centre of attention of attack which I barely escaped sometimes.

He was a monster who didn't saw that even he was saving her in his own way he was still breaking her mentally by never showing her affection of a parent. I knew how it felt -to be alone so I brought her with me but now seeing her standing before me I felt only hatred towards her.

Like father, like daughter- thankless. She knew I was in the night club for I texted her last night that I was feeling sick, feeling intuition of something bad was to happen, guess what, this girl never came. She ignored me for what,a boy?

"My father is not like that, he would n-never do i-it".

I felt pure rage flowing through my body. I lifted my shirt. A dark scar was adorning my figure stretched across my abdomen. Her eyes widened, shock filling them.

"You got my message didn't you?" Shame filled her eyes.

"I thought your gu-guards w-will be with y-you" her body was trembling but I couldn't bring myself to care, what I felt right now was my empty soul.

"Why?" Her question made bile rise my throat. I didn't wanted to recall those times but I guess it was time to let it all out.

"Uncle Lace, let's go and get Cals here, she would love this place" I laughed while we were sitting in a small cafe with fresh pine smell,decorated with designer jute lamps.

I didn't liked company much and right now it was perfect because only five or six people were there. I observed my surroundings while sipping my chocolate smoothy with a straw.

"She better be at home Laina, it's not safe to get out here" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"Well, we both are here too" he gave me an evil smirk which I naively ignored.

"Stay here princess! I am coming from washroom." If it was any other time I would have my guards with me but uncle insisted it would be a special hangout with just both of us.

I waited and waited but he wasn't there ,but suddenly then I heard a loud bang with screams from different people which scared me to shits, so I ducked under the table ,large tear droplets flowing as I heard a series of heavy footsteps approaching my way.

A large hand pulled me out of my place, making me scream. A huge man with black glasses towered over me, his eyes hardened on seeing me.

"Tell boss we have found the one we were looking for."
