The Unseen Pain

My whole family

Kaira's POV:

The whole day, I didn't eat anything so in the middle of the night, I am in the kitchen finding something to eat.

" So.." I got startled hearing the voice. I turned to see Alessandro.

" Are you finding something to eat?"

" I guess so."

He took out two chips packet from a drawer and passed one and took one for himself.

" Aren't you going to question me about being Leonessa?" I asked him as I settled on the counter.

" No, I already knew it was you."

I stared at him.

" I caught you sneaking that day and to confirm my thoughts the other day you opened the path as Leonessa, which no one knew except Dad and grandpa."

" So why didn't you told anyone about it?"

" It wasn't my place to tell."

" But didn't you doubt that I would have planned something or maybe tried to escape."

" You had many opportunities to escape still you didn't and if you would have planned something, still I didn't had any say, you have the freedom to do anything you want."

" Finally, someone who have some sense."

" Lorenzo also knew that you were Leonessa."

I raised my eyebrows.

" He identified your voice and eyes and to clarify his doubt he say the leonessa tatoo on your shoulder."

Wow! And I was dumb to think, no one knew about me.

" So why didn't you all tried to ask me to go to save Aria?"

" Because we couldn't save one of our sister by risking another."

" I never knew you considered me as your sister." I said while rolling my eyes.

He settled beside me on the counter.

" We all do consider you as our sister, Kaira so take that out of your heart, even Valentino. Everyone missed you when you where not home, dad and Lorenzo rarely came to home. Now when you are back from them we are frequently seeing them otherwise we would cry out eyes out still they didn't used to come. Francesco tried to find you on every app so that he could find atleast one photo of yours and see the number of gifts Valentino has kept in his room for your each birthday, what he got for Aria, the same thing is kept for you too. And about Antonio, he didn't knew about you."

" And what about you?"

" I still sleep with that teddy, you gift me on my birthday."

" I don't believe if all of you missed me, you would have atleast came once."

" You think, we didn't tried. Whenever we tried to come, mom asked us not to because you didn't wished to meet any of us. You had started hating us and could have killed any of us if we even tried to meet you. She told us, you were happy where you were."

" And how did you know I was happy?"

" Mom told us about you, every time, she used to come after visiting you."

" Visiting me? But no one of you came to ever visit me."

" What are you saying, Kaira?" He looked at me in shock.

" I am saying the truth. I waited for everyone of you to atleast meet me once in these past 11 years but none of you came."

" Fuck it." He ran a hand in his hair.
