Chapter:Peril

"It was strange to realize that a

dragon who couldn't be hurt on

the outside could have so many

ragged holes on the inside."

E.H.

When a kid,I had cried and prayed for a family and when I found out about my inheritance.....well,I wanted to run.

Years later, after escaping from the Evil's clutches,I searched for my mother who had abandoned me in that hellhole of an orphanage. Investigations concluded that my biological mother was an Irish from a rich reputed rich background. She got pregnant during her summer vacation at the tender age of eighteen by a diabolical and beyond handsome stranger.

Afterwards in order to save her eminence, she tried to abort me but eventually due to complications couldn't do it.

Now she was nothing but a widow of a late businessman and have a daughter named Isabella.And yes,my mother goes by the name of Erina.

This information was what I kept and cherished.Earlier I tried to convince myself not to bother but later I gave in.Then with Blue's arrival in my life,a peril sprinted in.She tried to reconnect me with my history, convincing me to look for an answer.

I tried to reach out for them but instead Erina tried to sue me for interrupting their life and privacy. That was it, the last straw of patience was finally drawn.In defense I complained a petition for degrading my name as they tried to associate my name with their filthy ones.If my biological mother wanted to play,then a game it would be, with me being the rule maker and the winner.

All these years she had been absent and now she had the odacity to renounce me again and lie about my hereditary.Preposterous.

Yet,in the span of few weeks Blue and Isabella became fast friends.How they met?It's been a mystery.Did Isabella knew of me .....questionable?

What was happening?

Though somewhere I guessed it was Blue's work.Sure was I even.

That petite, fragile girl never stops trying to mend me. And I believe Erina was too oblivious of this blooming friendship.

I never bothered Blue about it.She could try because somewhere in a corner of my devious mind I wanted to be normal. I wanted a family and wanted to be loved.She might have sensed it.So thoughtful.

In the time being,she was continuing her study and internships here. First summer she worked for one of my subsidiary branch office and for the next break,she took off to "The Billington's".

The latter one was challenging for the company still worked like an outdated peers.

Ahhh..., sorry that I got distracted .Well,to be honest I know that you all are quiet eager why I married Elena in the first place,well it was because of Erina's insistence and due to my health issues.

In way she took control of my life again and tried to dictate it and mess it around.

And for this I quite often blamed her yet I couldn't solely resent her.For her mistake,Blue and I were gifted with David and Angie.
