Aaric Grey and Isla Grey. The words stunned the people present in living room. Neil was looking curiously. Liam who was also stunned to hear was first one to gain his composure and ushered the siblings to settle on couch before he gave detail of the whole thing to his siblings who were giving him questioning gazes. Noah realized who these kids were. He didn't think his brother will bring them here.
How he wished someone else who is occupying his heart enter the living room and confidently Introduce herself as Grey. Noah laughed at his thought. Day and night he thought that Elena would just pop out of nowhere. Noah was impressed by Aaric confident introduction. The people present were not ordinary. The aura surrounding them is enough for people to bow down. Kids usually are scared to approach them. It is the reason Ivy trained herself to look gentle and approachable.
As memories returned Aaric and Isla original demeanor also returned even the noble look was deep in there bones but now they looked like children of special force soldier plus there old life experience. Making their aura more strong.
After settling down. Liam told every one how they reached here. He did not mention anything from the investigation but he mentioned there conversation in hospital. Why did you bring them here again Ivy questioned. She scrutinized the kids. What if they are not innocents as they seem. Sean questioned followed.
Liam was going to answer but again a voice cut him. This time it was Isla.
You are right mister we are not innocent, In two minutes the room will be Boom! she said with serious expression but Aaric saw mischief hidden in her eyes. Yeah he know she was pissed because of Sean questions and Ivy inquiring eyes. He was to. For god sake they are 7 years old. They couldn't attack an highly secured building, to exaggerate. Before she could say more nonsensical things Aaric calm voice made her shut up.
Isla, Talk nicely Aaric reprimanded.
Noah was amused by them. He knows if something would be fishy Liam would not bring them here. But He didn't know it was not the case this time. What could be fishy than the missing origin. Blank 5 yeas of there life. :p
Let me give you a proper introduction and our main reason to be here. Isla sated seriously. The young lady business mode was on and her who persona changed. her eyes became serious and face was expression less as 7 year old can pull.
My name is Isla Grey I was born 7 years ago. This is my twin Aaric Grey. For five years of our life we stayed with our mother in country A. But 2 years ago when for first time we came here we were kidnapped. Our mother is Elena Grey. and Our Father is Noah Allen. Isla spoke. She was nervous an scared inside. Her hands were sweating.
The expressions of people were sight to see. Sean, Liam, and Ivy didn't how to react. there silence further scared the twins. Fearing Noah reactions Twins were looking at him. He received as huge blow. He stilled for few minutes . Even though he was surprised of two kids popping but he was more shocked to hear information about Elena.
Neil voice bring them out of the reverie. So you are my younger siblings He questioned.
Yes Aaric said If you don't believe us you can do DNA testing. His voice was did not waver. even though every passing minute the fear inside them increased and disappointment marred their expression. The expectations of having father diminished.
Noah was about to say something but his phone Rang looking at Ralph call, Noah had no choice to pick up thinking that something important came up. Picking up the call Noah went out of lounge. Isla had tears in her eyes while Aaric felt has the world abandoned him. Several thought came in there eyes as Noah existed the room. There eyes were fixed on the door. Quickly they composed themselves. It would be not good to leak any emotions.
——-
Ralph was having hard time digesting the news. On the other hand he felt like that time was now taken over by turtle 🐢 soul. It walked to slow. At last Ralph decided to call Noah. Without knowing how his call would break two souls.
Hello Said Noah.
Hey Ralph greeted back.
What happened?
Nothing! Just wanted to ask you are going to come right. Ralph asked he didn't know what to say. Ralph was tong tied. He was feeling helpless. But thinking again he didn't want to tell such important information on phone so he changed his statement.
Yeah, I thought there was something important to report. Noah said. His tone was a little harsh. He felt anger but couldn't lash out on him. As Ralph was unaware of whole scenario.
What happened to your mood early morning questioned Ralph.
Nothing replied Noah. Remembering something he questioned Is country A under Ivans jurisdiction.
Yes It is. Ralph replied
Arrange a meeting with him as soon as possible ordered Noah as heard his affirmation.
Why? Ralph asked back. He was taken aback. Elena was the one who controlled 3 countries. And expanded NRIES influence there. After Elena Ivan became temporary head. He report after every 2-3 months.
Even the area he had under him is now headed by Ivan. He just oversees few things. Make important decisions which influence direction they will take in future. Realising how he got less time to spend with Neil he took this decision.
NRIES is a big cooperation with hidden forces. Th Forces work in Grey area but mostly so Legal things. As part of special force and as President they preferred every legal. NRIES founder as anonymous for world. No one could think in young age someone could bring to peak. But Noah sometimes find it as burden because for him it was useless. And it was that helped his beloved to successfully escape under his eyes.
He didn't know was Ivan was secretly helping Elena. Thats why his forces couldn't trace her but two years back he lost contact with her also.
I got some information about Elena. I have some doubts. I will tell you everything when we meet. Okay Hangup first with that Noah ended the call.
Releasing a breath he walked back. He knew it was insensitive of him that he walked out but anything related to Elena whereabouts etc could make him go frenzy.
Entering the living he saw his siblings sitting quietly observing the kids. At one side Neil, Aaric and Isla with Ivy kids were engrossed in some discussion. But Aaric and Ivy wore cold expression. They have became restrained. And he accept it was his fault. If they are his kids, Hmm No ifs. He was a jerk of a father.
———-
After Noah went out, Aaric and Isla had heart breaking expressions but they covered immediately. Realising Liam and Ivy took initiative to talk but Aaric and Isla sat there like statue so they backed out.
Brother I think our decision was wrong Isla whispered.
Yeah, I think we are been to selfish he whispered back.
What if he doesn't accept us Isla questioned in Low tone.
I don't know. Aaric replied dejectedly.
How about we look for Uncle Ivan Aaric said as he suddenly remembered Elena assistant. Aaric and Isla knew they couldn't get hold of Elena.
Because she always gave them her subordinates number if god forbid something happens. Staying with her would be more dangerous for them. Plus Elena didn't have any fixed number.
Thats good Idea. Isla said as hope revived. We will than ask him to contact mom she said. A little gloominess disappeared from there heart as they thought about it. But they couldn't help feel dejected.
Aaric saw Neil looking at them. With different emotions in his eyes. Thinking how his mom always remember him. And would feel sad involuntarily he said to him.
Mom loved you a lot, he have a picture of you and Mr Allen. We would spend quite some time talking to it.
Really Neil exclaimed and He smiled like he got his favourite thing.
Yeah and she would always say that you and Mr Allen are her heart Isla grumbled. She was jealous of course. Seeing Neil happy expression she wanted to tell him that mom never forget him.
And thats how they started talking. Aaric and Isla never asked anything about Noah or his life. They just told him about Elena, what they could remember.
Aaric and Isla hid there feeling they felt been ignored by Noah and concentrated to make Neil happy by little stories even though they restrained themselves.
