Chapter 72 

ALPHA LEO 

As soon as I got back to the mansion, I met Blake waiting outside

Hey, did something happen?” I questioned walking towards the entrance he was trailing behind me

“I think something’s wrong.” Immediately I heard this, I halted and turned to face Blake

“What’s wrong? Did something happen at the company or did Tanya do anything stupid I should know about?” 

Tanya didn’t do anything, but she was strange today, and so was Katherine.” 

Hearing Katherine, my interest to know what happened shot up, “what happened?” 

“I could swear I saw a familiar face at the company right after the meeting, but I really can’t remember who he was. I keep trying so hard to remember this, but there’s nothing and everything goes black whenever I’m so close.” 

I arched my brows

“Where’s Katherine?” 

“Upstairs with Tanya. I think they should still be together…” 

“I’ll be right back, I need to confirm something,” I uttered and Blake nodded his head at me before I began walking towards the stairs. As I got up, I headed for Katherine’s room and rasped a knock on the door. 

There was no response, and then I rasped another knock on the door before it was opened. Katherine poked her head out of the room, 

“Hey…” 

“Hey? What’s wrong? Did something happen? Why the look on your face like you’re hiding something in there?” I asked too many questions at the same time because I was curious about what Blake said. He had mentioned him, and I had this insecure feeling traveling around my blood at the moment. 

“Did you have a bad day today?” 

“That wasn’t my question Katherine. I asked if something happened. Is someone in there with you?” 

“Yes, Tanya, and we’re busy. Can we talk Later? If there’s anything you want to ask me, I’ll answer everything.” 

I scoffed, 

“I’ll talk to Tanya then,” I said and held the doorknob. 

“What do you…” before Katherine could complete her statement, I opened the door wide enough for me to walk in. Tanya was on the bed covered with a duvet, but the moment I walked in, I smirked. 

Get your ass out of bed, Tanya. I know you’re not asleep. I can hear your heartbeat racing so fast and your eyes are shaking badly. You should learn how to act when you return to school.” 

She didn’t open her eyes like I had expected her to, 

“Leo, she’s asleep. We had a really busy day today and she’s tired.‘ Katherine cut in from behind me, 

Oh really. Then I guess I should check for myself before leaving or better still, I’d just go to the dungeon and find out exactly what I 

want to” 

“I’m awake brother, what is it?” Tanya’s voice came even before I could complete my statement. Katherine walked towards the bed and sat down close to her and when I stared at my sister, I could smell her fear, 

“We need to talk, Tanya, right now,” I said and turned, tucking my hand into my pocket and walking away, but Katherine spoke, 

“Not now, Leo, she’s unwell and she needs rest. Maybe next time, please.”

Chapter 72 

“This is something urgent, Katherine, and Tanya knows just how important it is.” 

It’s urgent Katherine, thanks. Goodnight okay, we’ll talk tomorrow.” She rose to her feet and began to trail behind me and when we got out, I headed for my study room immediately. I shut the door immediately Tanya stepped in and took my seat on a white couch. 

“Sit sister, there’s no way I’m going to hurt you,” I uttered and when she sat down, I rose to my feet and walked towards the small table at the end of the room. I opened the drawer and brought out a wooden toy… 

“Remember this?” 

Tanya turned around to face me, and then I watched her arch her brows in surprise when she saw it, 

“Y..you still have this?” She uttered, and I nodded my head, 

“Yes. Tristan gave this to you when you were 3 Tanya.” 

I monitored the expression on her face as I called Tristan’s name. Damn, I badly wanted to find out if my suspicions were true. It would hurt me even more to do what I had in mind if they were true. 

“I thought I lost it. I never found it after that day. After you left I cried so much that you wouldn’t be taken away from us. Everything happened so fast Leo, and now this is where we are.” 

Tanya was starting to bring up the past that I didn’t want to remember, 

“And when you returned, you were never the same. The sweet little boy who always watched after me day and night. Who fought endlessly until I stopped crying…” she chuckled still staring at the toy, 

“I loved him the most in the whole world.” 

I couldn’t let my emotions get the better part of me yet. 

“What if I told you I saw him? Our brother.” 

I watched as her eyes widened, 

“What! That’s impossible, Leo. Tristan isn’t out here. He’s in there in the dark, alone and scared. He’s been there for too long don’t you think?” 

“We’re not having this conversation, Tanya. That’s enough, you may leave now. I got what I wanted already so leave.” 

I turned and began to walk back to the couch, but Tanya rose to her feet. As I sat down, I saw tears roll down her eyes as she stared at me. She clutched her fingers, 

“Don’t 

you think he’s received more than enough punishment for what he did? It’s been more than 4 fucking years, Leo. That’s enough for anyone who committed his crime.” 

I banged the table close to me so hard, 

“Tanya, as I stated before, we’re not having this conversation,” I uttered again knowing that she would be scared if I showed that angry side of me, but she wasn’t. She rubbed the tears that had rolled down her eyes, 

“What exactly are you scared of? Why won’t you let him out? Are you fucking afraid that he would be better than you? Or he would take everything you’ve built in the last four years? Are you afraid he’s going to come take what belongs to him?” 

It was at this moment that I lost it.
