I got there to find no sign of Sylvia" where is she?" I ask no one in particular.

"Shiloh" a familiar voice calls behind me and I am so sure this voice doesn't belong to Sylvia.

I stand stiffly afraid to look back to meet the person I wasn't expecting to see anytime from now.
~~~~~~~~

"Shiloh" The familiar voice calls again bringing me back to the present.

I take in a deep relaxing breath before turning around slowly to be welcomed by no other person than" Dad. I mean Mr.Dante" I say correcting myself immediately.

I meet his eyes with mine feeling anxious before looking around for Sylvia since Emma said she will be here" Sylvia is not coming" he says snapping me out of my trial of thought.

"Sylvia made that call to Emma to bring you here so we could meet," he says seeing the confusion on my face.

"What going on?" I ask feeling nervous once again, I feel something is not right and the fact that he is dressed in just a t-shirt and jeans which is different from his usual suit and pant shows something is going on.

"Shiloh, please seat," he says moving to take a seat on a bench.

I watch him with curiosity as he takes a seat waiting for me to do the same but I refuse to follow his orders blindly after he got me here using Sylvia's name" No. No, I am not taking a seat if you have anything to tell me while standing because I don't have to time for this" I know my words are rude and also I sound like a brat but I just can't help feeling tired of him always trying to control everything I do without considering how I feel about it.

I watch warily as he walks towards me before standing in front of me with his intense eyes focused on my face, I watch as emotions like guilt, regret and pain flash in his eyes making me more anxious with every second will stand in silence.

"Shiloh they are still so many things you need to know," he says softly with eyes still locked with mine" I tried in so many ways to keep you in the dark but I guess it's time you know the truth"

I stare at him bewildered not knowing what to say or how to react.

He takes in a deep breath before speaking"I was once a business partner to Mr.Colt(Chance's father) our family was very close as a result of the business deal we had" he explains looking deep in thought" Sylvia was just a little girl then and your mum was pregnant, I was happy because everything was moving smoothly until a well-respected worker of Colt called  Benedict. Blake's father betrayed us by selling important project plans to our rival to gain money and power from them"

"Colt later found out about this so he paid Benedict off and put him off his job with not only his company both with other companies but while all this was going on Colt never told me of Benedict betrayal" I listen silently as he explains with dread in me because I know something bad is about to follow.
