At the lunch time, Nora got the another biggest shock as Hades a little forcibly pulled her towards his table. The siblings ate their lunch together in silence.
Eleanora had noticed that there was something weird about Angel. The first time she met him, he looked so happy and acted like some real angel but from the past month, he was acting different. He was always on his phone and smoking. He just never smiled like the first time.
They finished their lunch in silence and parted their ways after lunch break. Hades and Angel made their way towards terrace where they always kill time by smoking or something.
Nora was on her way to her next class.
But suddenly something happened. A hand snaked around her wrist and she was forcibly pulled into the store room in the blink of eye.
The whole room was dark and someone was holding her tightly against the wall. She wanted to scream but a hand over her mouth was preventing her from doing so.
Suddenly the lights turned on and her eyes widened as she stared at the same scary guy standing in front of her.
He smirked at her shocked and scared look.
"What? You thought you can run from us or escape and we will let you be." He made a tsk sound and tightly gripped her chin.
Her heart skipped a beat when he started leaning his lips closer to her. She tried to push him away but he was like some rock. His hands inappropriately and without hesitation explored her body.
Her heart could be heard pounding loudly against her chest from miles away. A sudden dizziness hit her. The dull ache inside her heart started to grow slowly. Cold sweat started to break through her skin.
Something was not right...
She could feel it clearly.
"I bet you enjoyed your time away from us, from me." He chuckled.
"S-stop it. W-what do y-you want f-from me?" She asked in tired tone as she tried to look at him through her blurry vision.
"What should I actually want from you! You are so ugly." Nora remained unaffected at his words, the insult.
"So w-why are you d-doing this? If my face b-bothers you, so p-please stop l-looking at me. Why are you t-torturing me like t-this?" She found herself asking him in a small tone.
"Ask your fucking brothers! They ruined our life!" He growled.
She tiredly tried to push his hands away as they started unbuttoning the top few buttons of her shirt slowly to reveal her black bra underneath.
Slowly her senses began to came back as he started pulling her skirt up and crouched down on his knees with a smirk. But before he could touch her, Nora lifted her knee up and crashed it right against his jaw.
He yelped in pain.
She grabbed a big register that was sitting nearby at the table and hit it right across his head.
She stumbled towards the opposite direction and hurriedly tried to button up her shirt.
Before she could even move towards the door, a hand gripped her ankle and made her fall down on the floor. She let out a silent cry at the impact. The side of her face slightly throbbed in pain. But she quickly reacted and kicked his face back. His hold loosened and she took it as a chance to run out from there after picking her backpack up.
She rushed in the hallways and her short frame quite easily blended in the crowd of students. Her eyes desperately searched for her brothers tall frames and she heaved a sigh when she finally caught the glimpse of Angel and Hades tall frames.
She rushed towards them.
"H-had--" Hades silenced her with a raise of his hand as his phone started ringing.
"Yes Vincent!"
"We will be there shortly." He said and grabbed Nora's hand.
"We have to go home." He announced and pulled Nora behind himself through the crowd. Angel silently followed behind them.
Nora was fiddling with her fingers nervously and in fear. She tried to tell about the incident that happened some moments ago to twins but Hades silenced her with a glare, telling her that they will talk about it at home.
She swallowed the lump down her throat. Some negative thoughts started running in her mind and she took a shaky breath in.
What if's kept running in her mind.
**************
"Shit! That fuckin' girl hit hard bro!" Ajax hissed under his breath as he looked at the swollen bump in the middle of his forehead.
Eric laughed at this.
"Of course! She would! She's their sister after all."
"Whatever! The job is finally done and I am relieved. Now our only focus is on taking the William O'fucking Crimson down." Ajax gritted in anger.
"He killed our family and brothers in the last war and made us all helpless. He fuckin' snatched everything from us and now it is his time to payback! He will die tonight!" At Ajax's words, Eric chugged the beer down his throat.
"Indeed he will! Nobody can save him tonight. After seeing that small gift we had sent him, he will surely go to him. In this way, we can easily track that motherfucker who is hiding in the shadows and helping William and his family. Dominic and William, the two best friends will die today! After that we will slowly take down the rest of Crimson brothers'. It will be little hard but in the absence of William, their strength will weaken. The spawn of this game will surely help us in that. The real traitor of O'Crimson family!" A smirk over took Ajax's features as Eric finished speaking.
***************
As the siblings reached back home, the guards immediately rushed forward to open the doors of their cars.
Eleanora followed behind her brothers and to her surprise Vincent, William, Hunter and Damon was gathered inside the living hall. Alexander was also there and he looked like fuming in anger. His eyes turned into slits as soon as his gaze fell at Eleanora.
"Come here Eleanora!" William said in an unusual type of tone. It was much darker and colder than she had ever heard. The hair on her neck stood up in alert as his piercing, dead stare looked through her soul.
Nora took small steps towards him until she was standing fully in front of him.
He raised his phone up and with furrowed eyebrows, she stared at the screen of his phone.
Her heart dropped.
"Is it right whatever I have just seen? That you are seeing now." William asked.
Nora just stared at the photos in silence. These were the same exact photos of few minutes ago. But the difference was that in these pictures it looked wrong like she was enjoying whatever was happening with her.
A tear rolled down her cheek.
"You whore!" Alexander sneered at her and raised his hand up to slap Nora but William grabbed it mid way.
"Answer me Eleanora!" He said in the same tone.
She slowly shook her head, declining the pictures and the false reality that was being thrown in front of her.
"The fucking audacity of this girl! First she did this to ruin our family's name and now she has the guts to lie." Alexander growled at her.
Eleanora shuddered in fear.
"I-I didn't. T-this is l-lie. Trust me...." She stammered.
The silence of William was unsettling. Everyone was tensed and waiting for him to speak.
He suddenly raised his hand up.
Damon's heartbeat quickened. Even others looked quite uneasy.
Eleanora flinched thinking that he was going to hit her but it never came.
She hesitantly looked up in his eyes. His hand that was raised mid way, moved forward to remove the piece of her hair that was falling on her face and he tucked it behind her ear. His eyes narrowed slightly at her cheek. His fingers momentarily and gently stroked the flesh and suddenly he felt her wince when his fingers reached her cheek bone.
His brows furrowed. He let in a deep breath and removed his hand away.
"Go to your room."
