4. WINTER

"God! Why I have to do such things?" He groaned as he covered the distance with his steps trying to get in a room.

"But I don't want any innocent soul to be dead." Muttering frustratingly he swiftly messed up his hairs.

"Xavier on the count of three you will kick the door open." Leo's voice hit in his ears through bluetooth.

"Mhhmm," humming he fasten his footsteps nearing the room.

"I am just infront of it." He muttered quietly into the bluetooth.

"Ok. On the count of 3."

"Yeah."

"1."

He Breathed out through his mouth.

"2."

He took 3 steps back

"3."

He burst the open with his powerful and strong kick.

"And tge show begins." Leo smirked looking into the computer infront of him and munched on his favourite Chicken blait burger with some peri peri fries and a soft drink.

"What a nice meeting with an old friend." His raspy voice full of sarcasm and sterness made the man look towards. His face void of colours as he his nightmare infront of his eyes. But soon composed himself and gestured him to sit infront of him.

"Xavier. Ahhh. What a nice name just like a nice boy." His voice annoyed him.

"Cut the drama. And free all of those girls." Xavier commanded with his straight face.

"Easy said than to be done. Ever heard of it. Its an old saying." He stood up and roamed around his chair playing with a paper weight.

Rage burned into his veins making him curl up his fist.

"Sure Winters sure."

"But did you got the latest news. Oh i guess you didn't let me fill you up. Your daughter Bella,-" before he can continue Winters caught his neck in a tight grip.

"What about her?" He gritted through his teeth.

"Free me!"

He left him as coughed out the tightness that was caught in his throat.

"She ran away." He muttered scratching the uneasiness off his neck.

"This is not a time for a joke!" He yelled gripping his hair.

"Look me in the eyes and see if I am joking." His face void of emotions making him believe on his lie.

"Where can I found her, please?" Winter was a man who was known for his coldness he never feared anyone, but there's not a single soul who is not feared by him. Some are feared by natural thing and some are by man-made. But he was a man who never feared anyyhing. Till now. Alas.

"Trust me and free all of the girls when my man will take them out from your place safely. I will tell you safely."

Winter was fast to take out his phone and make a call,

"Free them. You idiot I said free them. All of them. Get all of them out of my place. Now hurry the 'venus' up." He yelled in the phone making the person on the other side bark the orders to the people there.

Xavier's phone pinged

"Done." receiving the message he smirked and made his way towards the door.

"My daughter," Winter's voice hit his ears but he didn't stop and told him.

"Daddy's princess is sleeping peacefully in her room. What a shame Winters you don't even know about your daughter's whereabouts. Or you are just too caught with being someone's slave." with a mocking tone.

Winters burned down rage realising he was played. Again. Throwing his coat on the floor he yelled frustratingly

"AGHHHH!"

"Dude we are in amusement park lets enjoy." Leo said dragging me knowing how much I hate going through all the rides.

"I am not interested." I showed my rejection but Leo is Leo how can he listen to me.

"Yeah, yeah I know you will say something like that, before you say something listen to me that we are going to ride all the rides and you are not gonna deny." He said last line in a dominating voice with a blank face. All the frankness gone. Not cool.

"But I don't wanna go." I told him with puppy eyes.

"You have to and that's final." He dragged towards the ticket counter.

And I agreed. Unwillingly.

~~

"No we are not separating our ways." Aria said sternly stopping everyone to agree.

"We are separating our ways. We will enjoy." Aiden told them and looked at Aria with nothing assurance and trust.

And that's how they separated their ways.

"Aria she is not kid anymore,try to understand she can take care of herself," he said more like scolded her for her stubbornness.

"But-"

"Not everytime we can't stay with her." He cupped her face whispered in her ear with assurance.

"Yeah, you are but I want her to start activities when she will be twenty one." she confronted against him.

"Listen if she is starting her activities onwards eighteen or twenty one, it doesn't matter. What does matter is she is enough mature to handle herself or not? And she is enough mature to handle anything. You no need to worry." Exhaling a strong breath he pinched his nose to control his anger and made her understand.

"C'mon lets enjoy" keeping his hand on her shoulder side hugging her, he said.

Xavier's POV

We were going towards Ali baba ride. When suddenly I was bumbed in to the short and soft figurine. Wait what. Shrugging my thoughts away I looked at the 'thing' and realised my mistake.

Why can't I spend a single day without her. Such a chatterbox.

"Hey Xavier, how are you?" She asked with a smile. Her blue eye showing glint of happiness. And when she is not happy?

"I am fine Angel and you?" I asked trying not to sound rude yet rolled my eyes to show that I am not interested in exchanging our greetings.

"I am fine. Okay I gotta go bye." She blubbered out and went away like a flash. Her back that was familiar but where I saw it I can't remember.

"Woah! What was that?!" Leo exclaimed

"Its first time I have experienced her this little talk." He continued gesturing to the talk that just took place.

"I also don't know. When ever she meets me she asks so many questions but today she was in hurry, I think so and strangely familiar." I blurted out whatever was in my mind.

Strange.
