Truth Untold

They walked out of the police station together; her heartbeat had increased, they walked in silence. She had to tell him the leftover information.They were now walking on the side path and going towards his car; she had to tell him now.

"Alex"she called him he hummed and turned around.

"i-i have to tell you something" she stuttered afraid of his reaction.

"what is it ?" he raised his eyebrows

"there is more to what happened today"

"what" his eyes widened

She took a deep breath"when i had the gunman under me i asked him that-you know why did he wanted to kill me he said because i had seen him." he kept silent "then when i asked him why did he wanted to kill you"she gulped

"what did he say ?"his eyes grew even bigger

"he said because he was the heir to taehyang group"

"whaAAAAAAAAt" he was astonished, he scoffed and ran a hand through his hand.

"there is more, when he was running away i caught something of his....."

"what"

"his phone" she said pulling it out of her pocket

"no way"he was astonished the second time that day.

"but what are we gonna do now, the gunman won't stay still he would come for us again"

"we need to go to my father first he might surely know something" he spoke running towards his car and she followed him.

They reached the car he had turned opened the doors before they had even reached the car she ran towards the the passenger seat's door and he ran towards the driver's seat door; they both opened the doors in a rush and slid in, the doors closed with a thump and the car zoomed off in a second. The roads rushed past them, their heartbeats had increased and the colds sweats were now visible on the foreheads even in the high speed air conditioner; next moment was uncertain.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The car came to a sudden stop pushing them forwards she supported herself by the dashboard.

"come on we are here" nervousness clear in his voice.

The door unlocked; they both got out of the car she felt like her feet had gone numb, and he had goosebumps, they would get the truth today the truth of the person who was torturing them with nightmares at night. The person who wanted to kill them; the person who claimed to be the legal heir of taehyang group, but exactly what was the real truth; were they really that close to knowing the real truth; were they even ready to know the truth; were they even strong enough to go after the gunman; what ever happens today one thing was clear today some secrets would be uncovered.

They moved towards the front door of the humongous mansion the kind of house she could only dream to live in. She could hear her heartbeat in her ears, Alex rang the bell with his shaking hands nervous what exactly will he say to his father and what will be his reaction.

The automatic door flew open and the mansion became clearer- to say it was huge was an understatement. There was a pool in the front yard the water sparkled under lights in night,the inside of the house was visible being made of glass not many people could be seen, the house was three storeys and three buildings joined together in the middle house a maid was seen passing through the dimly lit hallway; the house on the left and right could not be seen from inside the lights were closed.

Alex proceeded towards the middle house she followed him across the lawn.

He opened the door of the middle house and crossed path with a maid, crossing the room he stopped her "is father awake".

"yes sir is in his study" she politely bowed and left.

He turned right and they were in a long hallway that had a diamond chandelier hanging in middle, they walked to the far end of the hallway passing a lot of rooms making her wonder who lived in those rooms; they finally came in front of a wooden sliding door.

"here goes nothing" with that he slid the door open."you stay outside" he turned around before entering the room and closed the door leaving her mouth hanging open.

"seriously, it was my plan and he just excluded me from it" she talked to herself."but i am still going to listen"she pressed her ear on the door the voices were clear.

---------------------------

As soon as he walked in room with wooden floor and brown wall he looked for his father who sat on a wooden table that had papers on it, his father was was focusing on the papers a pen in right hand; glasses sat on the nose bridge; his father turned around at the creaking sound of the wooden floor as soon as his dark brown eyes set on the figure standing in the middle of the room a huge grin set on his face; he shakily stood up putting his pen on the papers and moved towards the figure and leapt at him hugging him "my son" Alex hugged his father back "hi dad".

"come sit" his father ushered him towards the sofa in right left corner they both sat side by side facing each other,"so.. what is it huh you don't just pass by here, there must be some reason"

"well there is something i wanted to ask you"

"what is it my son"

he took a deep breath"dad am i the rightful heir after you"

his father's eyes grew wide shocked at where this was heading"w-what do do you mean son"

"you know what i mean, who is the next heir after you"

his father gulped" i don't have anything to say to you"

"dad please this secret is endangering my life"

"what do you mean"

"whoever that person is he is trying to kill me he is after me"

"that's not possible"

"well the impossible is happening"

"no,no he had died long ago"

"who had died,tell me dad please"tension rose between two.

His father gulped and faced his son"before even you were born he was killed in the hit and run accident, and my biggest regret was i wasn't there at his funeral"

"who dad" Alex was clearly growing impatient and frustrated

"my brother"

"whAAAAt" now it was Alex's turn to be shocked

"he was my half brother but that fact was never considered i loved him as my own brother and after me he was the heir to this company but he died long ago"

------------------------------

"whAAAt"she screamed internally equally shocked by what she heard

"than is it a ghost trying to kill us"ughhhhh.
