Kate became speechless after seeing Ella and Aiden's reaction. She felt that both of genius may solve the Maria's half story puzzles. Then she shivered after seeing Ella and Aiden's smile. On the other hand, He Family members stunned after seeing Aiden and Ella's reaction. But Mary, Mia and Jason felt otherwise. They started to think that this two genius may figure out who Maria was. Because this two genius belonged to high class society of Country S. Although He and Moore Family belonged to high class society of City F, they were still below actual high class society. Thus Jason asked Ella and Aiden some questions.
"Both of you did guess Maria's real identity, am I right?" Jason asked with serious tone.
"Actually, yes. Maria did tell her half fantasizing life story. No one besides us will believe her. They will think that she is a psycho. But she knew both Ella and I can find missing puzzle pieces of her story. So, she welcomed three of us grand manner that time. If you do not believe her story after hearing, you will definitely ask Ella and me." Aiden replied with serious tone.
"Maria said some dangerous things will happen if we know her real identity and talk about her. Is it true?" Mia threw another question.
"Yes, Maria's statement is right. Actually King Family's direct descendants are like golden goose for every high society in every country. Speaking of Maria, she is the solo heiress of King Family business and empire. So, there are different kinds of enemies around King Family's direct descendants. Some greedy enemies want their power and fame by connecting marriage alliance. Some enemies want to suppress King Family by killing it's members. As for last category belongs to old enemies of King Family." Aiden said a shocking matter.
"Even, King Family member's close relatives and friends are red zone because of King Family's identity. Because of these reasons , King Family members always live low key manner. They have one identity for public and another identity for their daily life. Maria used her another identity in Country S. I can tell her real name. But everyone here have to promise that no one should talk about her name after that. As far I know, no one in the outside world know Maria's identity. Everyone knew Maria's real name and her 6 years old photo. Rest of her information were erased from online platform. Thus not many people know her information. If you search her information online, your information will automatically saved King Family and it's enemies data function. This way King Family's enemies find Maria through you. And her family will check your information for safety. Now decision is in your hands." Ella added another bomb.
"If this is dangerous, I think we should stop our curiosity here. In this way, everyone will be safe. As for Maria, she did tell her identity despite of dangerous situation. We should respect her decision. I think she will definitely show her real identity one-day. Till then we should protect her secrets and should not betray her." Jason's elder uncle said with serious and domineering tone.
"Uncle is right. Maria trusted us fully. Only then she revealed her secrets. Time will tell her full story. But I only to reveal her real name for everyone's final curiosity. After that everyone will forget Maria's secrets. Maria's real name is 'Maria Nicholas King'." Aiden said with serious tone.
"I heard this name. Teacher from my high school said that this person completed her graduate and post graduate degree at 15 years old. She also chose two major subject for her studies. Teacher set example of her, so we can do well in our studies." Kate said innocently.
Hearing Kate's words, everyone in the room were stunned and they lost their words. They never thought that in their life they would know such genius student.
First they were shocked after knowing Maria's identity and her identity puzzle pieces. Now, they heard another shocking news. They started to question their life. Ella and Aiden received 10000 volts shock. They were known as a genius among their peers. Now, they knew the true genius. Mary and Mia secretly swore that they would work hard in their studies from today onwards. Otherwise they would embarrass their friend.
At 11:15 pm , everyone came out from their shock. They somehow felt normal atmosphere in Jason's personal study room now. Then everyone came out of the study room and sat on the living room area. Three aunties of He Family brought some late night snacks and drinks for everyone. Then everyone quietly ate snacks and drank. Tonight was restless for them that was 100% sure.

Maria and Mike reached barbecue stall at 9:35 pm. During this time, they did not speak a single word. However both of them enjoyed peaceful walk. Actually silence was some kind of language between two of them. After that Maria ordered barbecue chicken stick and beers.
"I would never believe that 'the Maria June' eat this kind of place and this time I personally witness this. Hats off to you. Where did go all of these junk food lecture?" Mike teased Maria after he sat down.
"Shut up, Mikey. You know adventurous life. I am now accustomed to this life. At first, I had some troubles at eating. Because I only knew some basic cooking skill. After that I practiced a lot and now I am an expert cook. For my healthy routine, I had to learn cooking for myself. Last four years, all of my healthy lifestyle broke. Now, I can eat anywhere. Although I ate this kind of food last four years, I often enjoyed home's food." Maria said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, June baby. Do not smile here. You will kill everyone in here. By the way, what happened with you four years ago? Do not miss any single details. Your brother almost went crazy four years ago. Only that bastard Jasper Hall casted some calming spell on your brother. Then your brother's temper cooled down." Mike said with teasing tone.
Hearing first lines, Maria did not feel unhappy. On the contrary, she was quite happy inside her heart. But she started to panic after learning her brother's situation. She felt guilty about this matter. She also did not want to happen this thing with her. What could she do about this matter? Betrayal was the most painful matter for her.
"Okay, I will not smile. Is my brother okay? How is her health now?" Maria asked with worried tone.
"Your brother is perfectly fine now. Because of your missing news, your brother exposed one of his hideout. Thus, he faced assassination. Now, everything is alright. But your brother became quite ruthless recently. He will come Country S end of this year. Now tell your story." Mike said.
"Hearing your reports, I feel relief. It was my fault that my brother got worried. Now, I thank God for keeping brother safe. I will tell you my story. Do not overreact after hearing that." Maria said with half smile.
When Mike heard Maria's words , Mike had a bad feeling about Maria's experiences here. His heart started to beat faster but he kept his cool outside. Because he knew the meaning of his overreaction. In the meantime their food were brought out. Then Maria started her story different language (not Country S) and started to eat. As Mike listened Maria's story, he started to get furious. Thus, he started to eat more food than Maria. Few minutes later, he ordered for more food.
At 10:30 pm, Maria completed her full story. After that Maria heard some breaking noise. Looking at Mike's direction, Maria noticed that Mike broke everything near him. Because he could not control his temper anymore. Hearing breaking sound, everyone near Maria and Mike stared at them with full curiosity and whispered in low voice between them. Only then Maria gained her senses.
Then she said, "Sorry, everyone for disturbing. Sir, I'll pay for your losses. Please send me the bill. I also apologize for my friend's bad behaviour."
After that Maria paid the bill. Then Maria dragged Mike from that stall and at a quite place for rest of the story. When Mike reached quite place, he came back his senses. Then he started to check Maria head to toe again and again. When Mike saw Maria was alright, he started his questions.
"Are those still alive? How could they do those nasty things with you? Oscar Long should be felt lucky to become plaything in your hands. But that bastard betrayed you for that mere Black Family. What kind of stupid are they? They will drown themselves in the water if they know who they offended in the past. Baby, why did you not tell anything about this matter? If you did give some hints, you do not have to face those nasty things." Mike said with fury and heart breaking tone.
" It's alright. Let bygones be bygones. Because of them, I got some loyal friends and their kind family. I think it was a blessing in disguise. God gave me a test and I overcome the difficulty. Now my time has came. Those bastards will hellish punishment for torturing me. They should remember my name at their death bed." Maria said with rage and gentle tone at the same time. First some lines felt good but her last lines gave a creepy feelings. Even Mike felt bad about those bastards who stepped on devil queen's tail.
