Chapter Eleven

'Most of the things you heard were lies. I'm not saying everything. Because your names are real. And some other things too. But I want to apologise on behalf of my family. Though I actually can't speak for them because whatever I do is they told me to. I'm just a follower. Yes, I'm a liar as well. I supported you guys but it was an act all along. But trust me, along the way, I changed. I see that, we were harming innocent people. You became my closest friends. And I'm sorry you have to find out like this. I shot Janet is because I don't want to be with their side anymore. I don't care if they're my family or friends of my family, but I see the goodness of the truth now. The whole story my father told you was real. The biggest lie was about Jax being the number one enemy. The security is so strong that Jax couldn't possibly take the sphere all by himself. Yes, the problem of the Jaxs are their greed. But the accomplice was all along my family, the Williams. In fact, my family isn't an accomplice. We're the instigator. The one who influenced the Jaxs to be greedy, pampered them, and ordered them to bomb Zonex. Our family survived in Ava wasn't because we survive, it was because we lead. The Jaxs are afraid of us. They only act tough but their bravery are only in words. The government is our control. When the Jaxs captured you, it was because they know the truth. But they're too coward to tell. They are too coward to tell the truth. They still act under our influence because my family told them to lie to you. Lie to all of you that they're capturing you because they're your enemy. None of your family members were killed by the Jaxs. At least none by their own will. I'm sorry you have to learn all this now but I'm telling you because I'm truly sorry and I want to be on your side. I wasn't expecting Janet to be so ruthless like that. My family has always been just a helper, a friend of the leaders' family. I guess my family's greed is bigger because we do all this so that we can rule the planet. My family asked Jax to steal the sphere so that we can bomb this city. With the sphere still here whatever assault can't penetrate the defense. And when the Jaxs bomb the city, we were hoping all the leaders and their family would die with the city. But we were wrong. Your families are too smart for that. My family searched for you all afterwards because we found out the password you created in order for the sphere to be activated once again. Your forefathers definitely have known who was the true villain. And plus we couldn't get in without Adams. Because Danther wouldn't be at peace until he found his master once again. Adams is the actual head of all the leaders. And your family was the first to decide the placement of the sphere and the first to tame the lion. We don't know how but your family managed. The lion was a wild beast that roamed the surface around Zonex until he became the guardian of the city. He could withstand fire, bombs or anything hot. It's just his nature. My family was jealous. We wanted to rule as well. So the system isn't faulty. It really is three more. Jacoby, Jax, and Pentagon. It was never my family. But I'm terribly sorry again…'

Tazanna started crying uncontrollably. But she continued trying her best to deliver what she wants to say.

'Because of my family, your family died. Because of my family the lineage of Jacoby is terminated. Because of my family you lost your loved ones. I'm so sorry!'

A long pause as Tazanna continued crying.

Then Fayre went to her and held her hands in hers.

'Apology accepted by me. I'm glad you've changed. I'm glad you changed for the better, to do what's right' Fayre said.

I walked to Tazanna. And I gave her a hug.

'Apology accepted. Thank you for telling us the whole truth' I said.

Michael went to her. He looked deeply into her eyes.

'Apology definitely accepted. I love you even more now that you've come clear with all of us' he said. Wow! Was that a flirt? Tazanna blushed.

'There I said it. Just don't do it again' he said again.

Then Norman came to her and also gave her a hug.

'Apology accepted. Don't be fierce on us from now on' he said.

'I can't even if I want to. You're all my bosses' Tazanna replied.

'You're our friend' Fayre said.

Orion gently let go of Draven's body and got up slowly. He walked to Tazanna. I wasn't expecting him to forgive just yet, he just experienced another lost.

'I'm sorry Orion' Tazanna said, very sincerely. She looked downwards with guilt. And suddenly Orion hugged her.

'Apology accepted' he said.

And I noticed their hug tightened.
