The Past of the three family heads

"Dad?"

Emily asked with a shocked expression covering her face. Her eyes were trained on the parcel that was sitting on her brother's lap.

The word was so foreign to her that it came out without any hint of warmth in her tone. Was it bad that she felt no emotions towards a person whom she could not even remember?

"Umm-hmm! It was the present that he bought for you years ago, probably as a present for your birthday, the one when you were taken away from us. Unfortunately, he never got the chance to give this to you personally." Domenic told her as he placed the box on her lap and patted her lightly on her shoulder before he stood up and left the study, giving her some alone time.

Emily knew that their father had passed away years ago. The war that broke through in City A around twelve years ago, was the reason why the heads of the three powerful families of City - Alessandros, Sullivans, and Evans, lost their lives.
