“My father owns a casino in Spain, and my mother is Chinese… My name is Silver, Silver Banks”

Emory’s mouth hung unbelievably open as she stared at the lady in front of her.

It’s like her ears just deceived her, and she direly wishes for a repeat but she’s too shell-shocked to ask.

The room suddenly felt too hot and at the same time too cold, and her throat went dry automatically.

She couldn’t speak, and it’s worse cos Silver is not even looking at her as she spoke.

She’s staring into space.

“I don’t really like my father, and that’s because he mistreats my brother. I wonder if he’s still doing that. Besides, my baby should be 25 by now, so he should be old enough to put father in his place…I miss him so much, and I miss my mother too. Her name was Xusan, and it still pains me till now that Levi wasn’t able to meet her” Silver said again.

Tears crawled out of Emory’s eyes, and she had to cover her mouth so she won’t break down.

It’s her.

It’s Levi’s sister, for real.

Silver faced her, and she frowned when she saw the tears on her face.

“What did I tell you about tears?” She said, but Emory is too weak to wipe them right now, so she just let it flow freely.

“You’re just like me when I was young. That day in the car, if I hadn’t cried when Levi was sad, and if father hadn’t looked back from the wheel, maybe the accident wouldn’t have happened. That’s why I promised myself that even in bitter situations, I’ll never cry again till I die” she continued.

“I’m so…sorry” Emory said through tears.

“Is that pity? Throw it away” Silver grimaced.

“No, it’s because… because I…I might have killed your brother” Emory sniffled, and Silver stood skeptically.

“What do you mean? Tell me everything so I can understand…you know my brother?”

Emory stood too, tears blinding her eyes as she stayed in front of her.

They’re same height, short and petite.

Emory told her everything, including her rape case and where it all started, down to the Levi’s head shot.

“What in the freaking pit of hell…did you just narrate?” Silver said, looking speechless as her ash eyes stabbed poignantly into Emory’s marrow.

Emory quickly went on her knees…

“You can kill me if you want, but…

“You were raped by your uncle?” Silver interrupted, and Emory hiccupped.

“Huh?”

Silver squatted in front of her.

“What filthy uncle would do that to his niece? Darn it, I want to kill him. I badly wanna tie him to a piano and throw his body into any available river… fûck!” She said, looking madly pissed.

“You’re not talking about Xhen? I just told you he got an head shot because of me!” Emory said, and Silver stroked her hair gently.

“Listen, so far the name of my mother is Xusan, even if he gets shot in the balls, if his will is strong, then he’ll live. He’s alive, I’ve always been feeling him and I’m still feeling him” she said, wiping Emory’s tears.

Emory went silent, calming down for her, and Silver smiled when she saw the sunstone necklace again.

“He must be madly in love with you to give you that” she said.

“Why?” Emory asked.

Silver sighed, dropping her hand from Emory’s face as her mind went back to that year.

“I gave him this necklace on the day of the accident” she said.

TWENTY YEARS AGO, BANKS FAMILY MANSION*

The spacious dull house is so silent that even the fall of a needle would reverberate.

It’s like a hell house, in the middle of a light forest.

No one is in sight in the dimly lit living room, but there are several toys on the couches, all with the name SILVER inscribed on them.

The main door opened, and Master X stepped in, looking as stoic and stony as ever.

Seven years old Silver came rushing downstairs, and as usual, her ash eyes and extra-white skin stood out.

Those are the two distinct things she took from her late mum.

“Dad! Levi turned 5 today, is there not gonna be a birthday party again? He has never had one, and you never buy him cake” She said accusingly.

“We’re almost late for the academy, go dress up and tell him to dress up too” Master X replied without blinking, then he began climbing the stairs.

“But Levi needs a birthday cake too! He needs a birthday party! He needs gifts! He needs you! Stop being mean to him! He didn’t kill mother!” She started crying habitually.

Master X didn’t budge despite her tears, and when he finally went out of sight, Silver gathered all her teddies from the couches.

They’re five, and they all have names.

She took them upstairs to her room and abandoned them on the ground, then she raised up her pillow and took out a sunstone necklace.

She has been saving her allowance since last year just to get this, and she even had to steal some money from Master X’s drawer to complete the amount.

It’s a rare necklace and the only type of it in the world…she got it from a jewelry store with the help of uncle Reginald.

She ran to Levi’s room and opened the door.

Darkness.

It’s dark as usual.

Levi stays with uncle Reginald and his wife, but Silver was the one who dragged him here today.

She climbed a chair and turned on the lights before going to the bedside.

She knelt beside it and peeped under.

As expected, Levi is there, crying silently alone.

His black shirt is soaked with tears already, and his face is sweatily red.

“Happy birthday, tall baby” she smiled, but he just continued crying, looking away from her.

She grabbed his hand and pulled him out, then she wore the necklace on his neck, feeling so proud of herself.

“Where did you get this?” Levi asked, touching the pendant with a sniffle.

“It’s not important. I’m glad I’m the first person to ever give you a birthday gift, and it’s the only type of it in the world” she smiled.

“Thank you” he replied, and she leaned in.

“I was told that in the future, if you meet someone you wish to marry, you can give it to the person” she whispered in his ear.

“Don’t be silly” he frowned, and she smiled widely, stroking his hair.

Levi hugged her suddenly, and she chuckled before reciprocating.

“Uncle Reginald and Kara will get you cake, we can go eat it when we return from the academy” she said.

Levi smiled.

PRESENT TIME*

“And on our way to the academy, we got into the accident cos of my stupid childish tears. It was a silent area, and unfortunately, the kidnapers were driving by. Instead of trying to save, they took me. They’d have taken Levi too, but they heard police sirens and just left with me. I’ve been here since then” Silver explained.

Emory’s tears cascaded down her cheeks in rivulets, it’s too much to take.

In everything Silver said, the only thing she held on to was the necklace.

The fact that Levi gave it to her only means one thing____he had plans to marry her, but she had to ruin everything with her trust issues.

“I wanna die!!” she cried like a kid, and Silver scoffed.

“One more drop of tear, and I’m not talking to you throughout today” she said.

Emory didn’t even act like she heard, her tears continued like she got payed to release them.

Silver shifted away from her, and then BJ came in with a bleeding, swollen back.

Only his underpants are on him.

“Baby is crying again?” He said, flexing his muscles.

“Damn! My back… To hell with y’all fûckers!” He shouted, loud enough for the guards to hear.

“You’re sick” Silver shook her head.

TERRAVERDE, CARSON’S MANSION*

Tate arrived back in the island the next morning, and immediately she entered the mansion, the stench of alcohol stung her nose.

She had to plug it before stepping further into the living room.

Bottles of alcohol and water are scattered on the ground and the table, and Adrian himself is lying on the ground too, in the middle of all the chaos.

The laptop is still on the table, and Tate took a peek at it first.

Five staffs submitted their resignation letter again, and she clicked accept with a heavy heart before tapping Adrian on the ground.

Adrian’s eyes opened immediately, and he sat up.

“You’re back? Where did you go?” He asked, scratching his neck lazily.

“Why don’t I ask you a question first?” She replied sternly, and she stood, swaying like a drunk.

“What?”

“Why did you do that to Fred?” She asked.

“What do you mean?” He scowled.

“Why did you poison his home water? What did you do to his water pipes?” She questioned.

His eyes widened.

“How did you…

“Don’t ask me how I found out and just answer my question!!! Because of that, Fred killed my daughter! He killed Sybil, how could you be so beastly!” She yelled grievously.

“I had to take over Carson enterprises one way or the other! I am the senior, not him!” He yelled back.

“And you had to ruin him by making him infertile?” She came closer.

“He’s not infertile! The poison left his system after one month I’m sure of it. It can only last one month, maybe he doesn’t know” Adrian shrugged.

“You think you have the right to talk nonchalantly right now? Our daughter died, Adrian, all because of Fred’s enmity for you! Emory is my life and you know it! You’re an animal too!!” She yelled.

Tate didn’t get a warning…

With seismic force, Adrian slapped her, and she fell on the couch, holding that cheek as her hair scattered on her face.

She looks shocked as she stared up at him.

“You think you have the right to yell too? I’m aware that you slept with Fred one week before our wedding but I’ve been quiet cos I know how cunning he is! I’m beastly? Then you’re a monster too cos we both are at fault for our daughter’s death! Don’t push me, Tate” he said crossing over her.

He stormed upstairs like a wounded animal, and Tate remained there, dumbfounded.
