The End of The Beginning [3]

[AMELIA]

"The person who ruined our family."

At that, the James siblings look at each other, curious to know who Amelia was talking about. Some of them knew while some had an idea, but maybe their answers were different from what Amelia had in mind.

This is why they looked at her as she composed herself on the seat, before she turned to look at them, like a mother who was ready to get their children out of poverty.

"It was Alexander. All this while, it was always him. He was the first one to pull that shit, and he was the cause of the whole ripple. It was his fault and for all these years, he thought we would never find out. But I did.

"All the efforts finally paid off, Nik," Lia said to Nik and her siblings. They had all been so invested in Lia's plans, but none more than Nikolai Orlov, the man she had met in his aunt's Judo all those years ago.

This, to them, was more than an achievement.
