Chapter 86 The Real Game

"I know," Bryan said as I sensed him smirked, "that's why we will be there in the afternoon, I just wanted to tell you so you can prepare."

"Okay, I will also tell the others." He said and aimed to end the call.

"Cool!" I heard through the phone but then Xenon ended the call not waiting for the Bryan to say more.

"So... where was I?" He asked smiling playfully.

I smiled mischievously as I slowly and seductively sat up. His eyes were full of lust as he bites his lower lip.

I smirked "Let's talk." And he suddenly looked at my eyes, the lust turned emotionless and his face turned serious.

Right words to destroy the moment.

"What talk?" He asked looking innocent.

"Xenon," I warned.

"Fine." He sighed in defeat. "But, first promise me one thing..."

"What is it?" I simply asked.

"Tell me something about you." His voice sounded desperate.

I can hear my heartbeat sings louder... but in anxious. I know he sensed my reaction,

"Claire, my mind keeps on thinking about you and I feel like I don't know anything about you." He said as he sits beside me and holds my hand "I love you and nothing will change that. Don't deny my curiosity for the person I love." His face held sincerity and his eyes are desperate to see the truth in me. How will he handle the truth? I don't think he's ready, and most especially... I don't think I am.

I smile as I sighed "Fine." Is it really the right time?

A genuine smile creeps out on his face but his eyes turned sad all of a sudden. "I'm sorry I can't introduce you to my family anymore."

Curiosity crept on me "Why?" Only the word comes out of my mouth.

He closed his eyes and when he opens it "They're dead." He said and I can see his eyes watered as he bit his lip.

I felt my heart squeezes when I see the sadness in his watery blue eyes. I have this sympathetic feeling over him. I squeezed his hand wanting him to know, I'm with him. "I'm sorry for asking, you don't ne-"

He put his thumb on my lips shutting me up "No, you have the right to know and you need to know. It's been a long time..." He gave a weak smile "I can handle it."

I nodded in understanding wanting him to continue. He leaned on the headboard and lifted me, making me sit on his lap. "Better." And he smiled.

I leaned my head on his chest as I breathed deeply on his enticing scent just as he started telling a story.

"Seven years ago, I went home from the market but when I was near our house... I heard my sister screaming... so I hide in the nearest place I can. Just then I saw my family being dragged by armed men towards their van. I can't do anything, they have weapons and I have none. Suddenly, my eyes turned to a man wearing his business suit. From there, I know that he is... the leader." I sensed him clenching his hands so I took one of his hand and intertwined it with mine. He breathed as he turned calm and continue.

"I reported it to the police but they ignore me... none of them believed... they just laughed at me. I went out of the police station, losing my hope. However... one kind man approached me, he helped me on my case and just then I discovered he's an inspector. He adopted me and... this house? He gave it to me, he was a lonely man. Rich, but have no one until the day he adopted me. He treated me as his real child, he was there at my darkest moment when it was hard to deal with, missing my family but he did not give up on me while dealing with my case... just as he became my Daddy Derif." He smiled weakly while looking straight at the wall.

"One day, we went for a grocery but then I saw a familiar man passing the convenience store. It was already dark but I followed him until I reached an alley. And there... I saw the men who dragged my family to the van. I asked them to give my family back but instead, they tried to kill me... just when... the Silencer came." I suddenly looked at him.

"The Silencer?" How did he know? So... that was the reason why he was there at the alley that night.

He nodded "I can't believe myself, but when I saw how that child fight I know it was the Silencer. Daddy Derif proved it. After two months of searching, He discovered something about my case, he gave me a picture and it was the leader of those men who dragged my family... He told me everything about that man. And I found out that his name was... Marco Baron, the owner of... a secret underground facility." I freeze... that is why he was so mad at him... he kept something... he held revenge on his heart.

"Also the moment I found out that my family... were dead. He killed him... he used them as his samples on his facility." His voice was hard that every word came out of anger. "He is a devil." His aura is too dark, anger is radiating from him.

I cupped his cheek as he softened and look at my eyes. "May I know the name of your family?" I asked softly.

He smiled sadly "My father's name is Alejandro Montaiz. My mother is Rimelda and my sister is Angelica... she's pretty." He said as his eyes held happiness at the same time sadness from remembering old times.

Rimelda and Angelica Montaiz... they are on the list of samples but... Alejandro Montaiz wasn't there... is it possible that..?-

"You're handsome so I bet they're pretty good-looking," I said smiling.

"I am?" He asked playfully.

"You are... what?" I asked looking innocent.

"I heard it myself. Don't worry, this handsome man... only belongs to you." He smiled as he pinched my cheek.

I gasped and lightly punched his chest "Oww!" He rubbed his chest acting hurt. I'm sure it wasn't hard.

"Don't ever do that again," I demanded. Oh, how I hate being pinched in the cheek.

"Your hand is heavy." He said still in pain.

My face suddenly turned worried. "Hey, I'm sorry. Does it hurt?" I asked out of concern.

He nodded. "What do you want me to do?" I asked.

"Kiss me." He said pointing to his lips.

So I did. I pecked his lips and get out of his lap as I run towards the door. "Hey!"
