CHAPTER 105: BEHIND THE DEATH

Back at where mia was held captive. Time was ticking,mia didn't want to stay there any longer. She has been struggling to loose the rope that was used for her hands behind the chair. She was half successful as she managed to loose the first knot but ber arms were starting to hurt die ti the stress. It wasn't going to be easy but she already knew that.

Mia relaxed her muscles,she noticed the sky darker than before and she sighed before closing her eyes. How long she would be here was something she didn't know. She stared at the door while at the same time she hand moved to loosen the rope and she was sure it would leave a bruise due to how tight it is.

Mia stopped her movements when the door was suddenly pushed open and Charles stepped in. She balled her hands into fists,he was really as they had described him to be or even worse "why did you ever tie me up?let me go!"she stated snd in response, Charles laughed out making mia furrow her brows.

"You shouldn't be in such a hurry,you have barely even spent a day here, there's still more time and we still need to wait for our guest of honor"he said leaning against the desk that was in the room. Mia had no clue where she was right now and it made her anxious "why are you doing this?, he's your family". She couldn't understand why one would want to do something like this to their own family but what more to expect from this world. There are different kinds of people;those who cared and those who don't.

Charles replied with "everyone does things for a reason and so do I ,in the case of being a family that I don't consider..."he paused then tilted his head to the side and asked "hasn't he told you yet?"

"told me what " at this Charles hummed the answered"we don't have the same blood running through our vein,I'm from a different parents and so is his father "

Mia's eyes widen as it all dawned on her"you are adopted" she just realized this but there were still somethings to be cleared "exactly,my birth father was in a massive debt and decided to run away,my mother died an unfortunate death and I became homeless until I was found and taken in my foster father"

"I don't see a valid reason for what you are doing,he took you in and showered you with love ,the whole family took you as their own "mia stated,to her, this was all insane.

Charles chuckled at her words"do you know the phrase ' blood is thicker than water '? another son came in,one that has his family blood, though adopted it didn't change the fact that he had made me the eldest son,but he decided to hand everything to him instead,he had given us separate test but I know I was more worthy"

Mia didn't know what to say she sighed"maybe you feel you've been wrong but you are only proving everyone's point by doing this,just let this go, you already have enough"

"Nothing is ever enough in this world and you just have to get more of it , isn't that why you are now the successful woman you are now "said Charles. Mia felt her eyes narrow,this man was trying to mix his and her situation,she replied"I only got what was rightfully mine,what my father had left for me before he died ".

It was at that time that something struck in her head"you knew father,you all went to the same college "

She saw him smiled as he looked to his left,there was nothing there to look at but he looked liked he was in deep thought"true,close friends with my brother,it seemed both their characters rub off on each other as they tend to get in the way of everything "

"did you have something to do with what happened to him?"mia carefully asked ,as everything began to sink in,she felt her heart beat rapidly,she digged her nails into her palms when she heard him say"I'm glad you are finally catching up ". Looking at him,mia saw no hint of remorse or regret for what he did.

"this...you..."she couldn't find the words as her brain was still processing all if this .She was speechless and felt tears well up in her eyes as it slowly fell on her cheeks. All her emotions build up,pain and anger all she wanted to do was to let it out,but she was tied up. Mia was still trying to think,her brian was replaying all of his words,he had mentioned something about both the men always getting in the way,he had admitted to what happened to her father.

"that day...you were aiming for me, why?" as far as she could remember,the vehicle had almost hit her but her father had taken the hit saving her life in the process "hm hm,I still don't see what you mother saw in him , unfortunate that my nephew has also tied himself with you, ready to do everything for you,such will lead to his demise"he stated with his gone void of any emotions. He didn't like their relationship not did he liked their child.

At that moment she heard a light commotion outside the room,or should she say outside the building she was in. Although it wasn't clear,she could still hear it. Charles got up and clear "the person I've been waiting for is here". Hearing this,she was happy that Ryan found her location but at tha same time,she also feared for what might happen to to him.

"please don't do anything to him"she begged

"that all depends on if I changed my mind or not"he took two steps closer to her and added "having everything in my grasp isn't my only intention,you asked why I was doing all of this"

Mia the asked "why?"

"I have plans to destroy the Garcia family and it's unfortunate you'd be part of them soon,not that I have any problem with it,you survived managed to survive the last time and so did he , surviving in that crash that day and right after he kept invading everything I threw in his way "

"does Ryan know what you did?"mia asked as felt suffocated,this man was a psycho,she didn't care if anything bad would happen to him. Charles responded"he doesn't ". Walking towards the door be said to her "enjoy your remaining time here" before leaving.

He had killed both if their parents, making them go through pain during their childhood,not able to contain her emotions any longer she finally broke down ,years streaming down on her face. All this time she couldn't help but think her father had died thanks to her, because she didn't look carefully but everything was planned to look like an accident.

But then ,he had wanted to kill an entire family thanks to his greed,and Ryan even though he knew his uncle could do all sort of things as no idea that he was the cause fir his parents' deaths.Mia sniffled trying to contain her emotions,she didn't want to loose any more of her loved ones
