My head is pounding so much. It's the first thing I thought when I woke up. I was about to remember how did I sleep when I felt sharp pain in the back of my neck.

Back of my neck - Dustin - Ryan - murder- kidnap.

Oh my god

They are Mafias

I open my eyes wide suddenly and quickly closed because of the sudden light. I sit up and found myself in my room. Alone.

I didn't waste time and stood up.

I quickly and quietly went to the door.

I slowly opened it and crept out.

I don't want to face anyone. I don't want to be here. My mind is hazy. I don't know what I'm doing but I just don't wanna be here, with them under same roof.

I slowly crept downstairs. Then looked around and saw no one. They must be either in their rooms or in the living room.

I'm so hungry but i first want to get out of here. I feel suffocated now. I slowly without any noise went to the front door.

I held the handle but before I could open the door, it already started opening on the other side and before I could do anything, I came face to face with my brothers.

My eyes widen looking at them.

They also had their eyes wide, not expecting me seeing here. My hand was still froze where I was about to open the door.

Twins were standing at the doorway in shorts and t shirt indicating they were playing sports and were having their gym bag on their shoulder. They dropped their bag and suddenly came to me and asked how I was.

I quickly stepped back maintaining distance. They froze and looked at each other. I took the opportunity and tried to take a bee line from the side of Tyler who was on the right side.

Keyword being tried.

Tyler quickly caught me by my arm and I started thrashing.

"Leave me"

Taylor quickly held my other arm and they tried to calm me.

But me being me not in my senses, I thrashed and tried to get out of their grip.

"Fucking calm down Liz" Taylor said.

"No.no.no Leave me alone. I don't want to be here. "

Before I could say anything they started taking me to the living.

No. No. No.

I started thrashing more. These both are the youngest and still I was not even able to budge them.

Stupid me. They are involved with mafias. What can I even expect.

All were in the living room standing and looking like they were about to come in our direction. I stopped thrashing.

There was no way now I could get out.

I didn't even know when I started crying.

"What's going on? " Dad asked.

"She was going outside" Tyler said.

I started crying again.

"Sweety" I snapped my gaze in the direction where Dad was standing and looking guilty.

Twins released me but stood near in case I again tried to run.

"Sweety, firstly are you okay? " Dad asked.

"Please, I won't tell anyone. Let me go. I'll never cross your path again. Please. " I plead ignoring his question.

"You're not going anywhere" Voice said and I stilled. I was most feared of him right now because within 6 hours, I saw him murder someone.

I turned to him but kept my head down.

"Please I-" I was cut off by another voice.

"We're really sorry, we hid this truth from you Lis" Dad said softly.

"I-I plea-" I sobbed.

"For God's sake Eliza, stop crying and pleading, " Dustin yelled to which I flinched.

"Shut up Dustin, she's already shaken" Ethan defended.

"Can't you see that it was already her 2nd attempt to run" Noah said frustratingly.

"2 times!? " Taylor asked astonished.

"Enough" Dad's voice boomed.

"First of all Ethan, go and bring some water and food for her. She has eaten nothing since morning, and all of you sit down, including you Liz. "

I was scared. So much scared.

Tyler took my hand softly but I flinched a little to which he sighed.

Twins guided me to the couch and and I'm thankful that they didn't seat near me.

Ethan soon came and stood near me. I didn't look up. My knees were shaking. I was crying. My feet were itching to stand and just run.

"Can I sit here? " Ethan asked softly for permission to which I was shocked but soon nodded.

He sat near me and first gave me water which I drank greedily. Now I notice, I was thirsty as hell.

He then took the glass and gave me the plate with tacos on it to eat. I was sceptical at first and slowly and looked at him.

He just smiled and encouraged me to eat. I looked around and my eyes landed on dad. He sighed.

"Sweety, eat something first and then we'll answer all your questions. Just remember we'll do nothing to hurt you and after all the explanation, if you're still willing to go, we'll not stop you. But please eat first. "

"What? "

"Dad"

"No Way"

"Never"

All these reactions were given by my brothers after hearing his statement which dad silenced every question with a hand.

I nodded and took the plate.

I ate and I'm thankful that I was eating first before all the revelation.

After I ate, I was no longer crying. My mind was relaxed no more hazy. I was calm and collected. The pounding in my head was reduced.

I looked around and saw them looking at me like they were going to interrogate me like the last time when I was telling them my secret. The difference here is that now I'll be interrogating them about their secrets.

I took deep breaths and then finally looked at them. The fact that they are capable of killing me anytime scared me to my core.

Ryan was avoiding my eyes to which I was kinda shocked.

I was going to ask them everything. I have to frame my questions cunningly.

It's now or never.
