CHAPTER 15 LIES LIES LIES

Daphne had made all arrangement for her siblings to stay in Seattle Tacoma that night and had spoke to her lawyers that evening concerning her will in case anything went wrong, it saddened her to think she could leave the two most important people to her,  three if Ace was concluded but things had to be done and sure it was going to get nasty from now on concedeeing the Lucians knew about her. Turning in bed she sighed,  that was what she had been doing after Ace had left and they had all retired for the night
"Ameth are you still awake,  can I sleep with you " Riley asked peaking her head into her room through the small opening of the door,  shifting Daphne raised her blanket inviting Riley , she runned and settled herself beside Daphne
"you're not gonna leave me too Amethyst right? "
Smiling sadly Daphne shook her head and few tears dropping " no Ariya I won't,  I'm your mother and sister I'm I not? " pausing she continued "now close your eyes and sleep princess, you'll travel tomorrow"

"I'll miss you, Blake take care of Riley and Eva will be there when you get there including Peter to pick you up, please listen to them when they talk ok" Daphne listed of when she stood at the airport with her siblings and Ace saying her goodbyes
" we'll see you soon and don't worry everything will be fine,  I'll take care of Daphne" Ace added

Smiling sadly Daphne looked as her sibling climbed the private jet, she watched as the airplane took off and then turned Ace "so now my lawyers, let's  go"

Thirty minutes later they  were sat before Daphne's family lawyer "uncle Daniel I need to  step up on everything,  I already transferred most shares to the private business and accounts and left some of it like you said" Daphne told the old lawyer who was like an uncle to her since her parents were alive,  he had been their family lawyer for as long as she remembers and when she had told him what happened to her parents he had vowed to help her
"but the firm share still in your name right? " Roger who was Ace's lawyer who had promised to also help asked
"yes it still is as you asked "
"so what is next now"? Ace who was sat quietly to the side asked.
"we wait macenth, we wait"

"Dad are you sure this is the right thing to do to Myra" Anthony asked Carlisle
" but it's the right thing to do, you have to understand Anthony" sighing Carlisle continued " I'm sure she already knows what's going on or at least a bit of what's going on , I don't want her involved in this"
" so what now , what are you going to do to her" Xavier asked looking at the face of his family one after the other
" well we send her away, to a boarding school and ensure she never comes back, at least not now , she's a weak link in the family and sometimes I just wish I never gave birth to her at all" their mother said
" but mom how can you say that??, she's your daughter!!"
" your mother is right Xavier and even Anthony knows this" Carlisle replied
Xavier looked at Anthony only to him shrugging
"We'll do what we have to do , all I need and care about is money" Xavier shrugged

"Did you people arrive safely" Daphne asked in the phone
"Hmm take care then , and please take care of Ariya and don't scream on her and also Riley listen to your brother always and also to nanny, both of you" taking a deep breath she continued " I'll miss you all and you people know I'm only doing this for your safety , always remember that family is first in everything after God, ok bye I love you all"

"Will they be alright" Ace asked Daphne after her call
" I'm sure they will, we didn't hire the body guards for nothing, a scratch on them and they are all dead" Daphne shrugged
" Now get me a very nice dress, I have a dinner party to attend tomorrow night on behalf of our company"
"Who is throwing the party" Ace asked nodding his head knowingly
" Erm ... The Rose industries I guess"
" And do you know the owner" Ace pressed on
" Do you know him, he's quiet
mysterious, I don't really know him"
" you'll know Daphne" Ace smirked
