The unbreakable promise

"Falling sick while suffering alone and dying alone, "

He thought, it was just Sasha's drunken rants, but whatever she said, it was from her own life.

It was a bunch of dreadful things that she experienced in her life.

Even though he occasionally fights with his father and sister, Noah had someone to call his family.

There were several maids and butlers at his mansion to take care of him, even if he gets a silly cold.

Having no one to take care of when someone falls sick- even thinking about such a situation felt worrisome for Noah.

"What about her boyfriend? She said that she is in a toxic relationship,"

"Boyfriend and toxic relationship. What are you saying?" Lia glared at his brother in disbelief.

"Sasha's boyfriend...he is an abusive person...She said that he tried to kill her various times,"

Hearing Noah's worried words, Lia let out a sigh and touched her forehead.

"Sasha has been in an accident and she was in coma for a long time. She had amnesia and currently, she is trying to recollect her memories. Depression, anxiety disorders she had a hell of lot of psychological abnormalities.

But recently she came up to me and said that she started to see a man in her dreams, someone who is pretending to like her boyfriend and tries to murder her every single time," Lia raised her eyes at the man who remained with his mouth open in incredulous disbelief.

"Do you know what all these mean?"

Noah had no answer to his sister.

"I don't want to treat her as a mental patient, but Noah that girl...she is sick here," Lia pointed at his head and elucidated,

"That's why I told you to stay away from her. A person like you can never handle a girl like her,"

"But Lia isn't there any solutions for her condition? don't you usually say that people with psychological disorders need empathy and support from others? Then what is wrong with getting closer to her?" Noah opened the box of his queries.

"Noah, please don't tell me that you fell for her. That's the last thing I want to hear from you," Lia warned her brother all at once.

"I thought I was just intrigued by her, but Lia, after knowing more about Sasha, I think I-"

"Stop it, Noah. Stop right now," Lia seethed, "You are my brother and I will not allow it,"

"Why?" He raised only one question, "Why can't I fall for her?"

"For God's sake Noah, just don't treat Sasha like other girls that you have dated," She almost shouted at him for bringing up such a difficult question.

It was true that Lia had a soft corner for Sasha but she wasn't that considerate to sacrifice her brother to cure her patient.

"You have no idea how hard it is to love or even care about a person going through such terrible mental health. You won't be able to handle her,"

"I like her, Lia. I don't want her to lead a lonely life and end up dying like our mother." Noah honestly confessed.

Sasha's desolate self reminded him of his late mother, who suffered from depression. He failed to help his mother, and he doesn't want Sasha to go through the same pain which his mother has gone through.

"Yes, you don't want her to end up like our mother. That's it...what you feel for her is just sympathy since she reminds you of mom...don't let those feelings fool you, Noah," Lia couldn't help but advise her little brother.

"No matter how much you grew up, you will always remain as my naive and little brother. As your sister-"

"Are you stopping me from getting closer to Sasha because I am naive and kind?" Noah sniggered at his sister's words,

"If I were brutal and unruly like Kit, would you allow me to date her?"

Hearing Noah dragging her brother in law into their conversation, Lia was a bit frustrated. Noah and Krist used to be close friends. However, recently she has found that both of them are no longer on talking terms.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you dragging Kit into it?" She raised her voice, "And what is that brutal and unruly kit..he is your friend, and you knew that he is nothing like that,"

"You are right, Lia," Noah's lips bloomed into a bitter smile,

"He wasn't like that...not when he left Z city, but the kit who lived in Amorpolis is eligible for that title of the brutal and unruly man who almost killed an innocent girl,"

Noah's words reeked hatred and disgust.

"Noah, what nonsense are you talking? he is your friend," Lia reprimanded him as she heard him trying to throw shades at his friend and the gentlest man she has ever known,

"I am sorry, sister. I am no longer friends with a murderer like him,"

"Noah!!!!" Lia bellowed at him, "Use your words properly. Who are you calling you a murderer? The Kit, I know is nothing but a kind and considerate guy,"

"Oh then, let me burst that fantasy bubble which he created for everyone," Noah suggested with a pair of burning eyes,

"The kind and considerate person whom you all know has successfully ruined an innocent girl's life and pushed her to the brink of death. Like everyone else, I also want to believe that my best friend, whom I grew up with, will not be able to do such a heinous crime to anyone. But Lia, I am sorry...I cannot treat him like the way I used to treat him earlier," Noah concluded and glanced at his sister, who remained shocked.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Kia, who is aware of everything that happened in Kit's life while he was in the university. And now if you allow me, let me go and search for Sasha, whom I'm going to spend the rest of my life,"

Noah walked towards the exit leaving a startled Lia back at the lonely rooftop,

As she stood alone under the starry sky, Lia was still not able to recover from the shock he received from her only brother.

She was unable to tell apart which truth was more shocking to hear.

The confession regarding her brother in law being a murderer or her brother got enchanted by a woman who got serious mental issues.

For some reason, Lia felt that the second confession needs immediate action since she still got a chance to stop Noah before he turn rogue,

As for Kris, she must confront him and know the truth directly from him.

Lia glanced at her watch that struck at past midnight.

Isn't it too late to go to the clinic and collect details regarding Sasha Reagan?

Though Lia instructed the maids to check every nook and corner of the mansion for Sasha, she wished to believe that girl might have gone home.

While the Stevens siblings frantically searched for her, under the giant roof of the Storm Bell's mansion's attic, Sasha was lying half nakedly in the arms of a man.

The man's calloused fingertips traced her face,

"Sasha Amber Reagan, do you love me?" He asked in a deep husky voice, gently squeezing her plump red lips.

Bewitched by his presence, Sasha's mouth curled into an alluring smile.

"I will answer, only if you promise me something. Promise me...promise me that you won't kill me." She raised her pinkie finger at him,

Hearing her odd request his attractive thin lips curled into a devilish grin,

"I promise that I won't kill you," He tangled his pinkie finger with hers and sealed the promise.

"This will remain as an unbreakable promise, and it will be valid as long as I'm alive," Sasha demanded in a drunk stupor,

"What if I break it?" He casually asked and leaned closer to the girl who was swaying under the effect of alcohol,

"You cannot break it. I am going to seal it forever," Sasha adamantly retaliated as she threw her arms over his broad shoulders and locked her lips into a passionate kiss.
