The Broken Angel & Her Overprotective Brothers - Chapter 42

“Are you sure you have seen her?” Rylan asked as he pulled one of the two men, who were following him, into the empty hallway.

“I’m a hundred percent sure that she was the same girl whom you are searching for. Moreover, our men have seen her riding with Daniel Alessandro and they also headed towards this school.” The man hurriedly replied.

Rylan was silent for a few seconds as he looked lost in his thoughts. His icy blue eyes and long silver hair that was once again pulled in a high bun made his beauty intensify in the dark grey uniform that he was wearing.

“You all are really lucky to get a hold on Daniel Alessandro’s whereabouts. However, what a failure that it took your men more than a month to get a hold of that girl’s location.” Rylan said as he stared at the white tiles that were decorating the floor of the hallway.

“Second Master, what should we do now? Do you want us to check the campus or the area around the school to find out her exact location?” The man asked while waiting for his Master’s next order.

They were aware that their constant failures in finding the little girl whom the Second Master was searching for, had left a bad impact on their image in the eyes of their Master.

“Don’t! If you all kept tracking the Alessandros, there is a high possibility that they will get notified about it. Let me think about this matter a little more. Just make sure to keep an eye on this area without alerting anyone.” Rylan ordered as a frown appeared on his face.

The two men nodded their heads before one of them asked, “Second Master, do you think that the girl you are looking for has a close connection with the Alessandros?”

Rylan slowly nodded his head as the frown that was visible on his handsome face deepened even more.

“We have known Alessandros ever since they first emerged in the city. However, before that day at the parlor, I have never seen that girl in the city. She suddenly appeared out of nowhere and then once again disappeared for over a month.”

The two men looked deep in thoughts as Rylan stopped for a few seconds to gather his thoughts before continuing.

“The first time I saw her she was with Mark and today you spotted her with Daniel. A little girl whom we can’t find for such a long time and who’s spotted two times and every time with one of the Alessandro Brothers, I have a strong feeling that she is not someone normal.”

Right that moment, the phone of one of the two men pinged with an incoming message.

As the man took out his phone to check the message, a small scowl appeared on his face after seeing the message.

“What’s wrong?” Rylan asked as he kept his eyes trained on his watch which was showing that the first class of his new term was about to start in ten minutes.

“Master, take a look at this.” The man said as he passed his phone to the boy.

Rylan looked at the image that one of his men had forwarded. It was the picture of a red Porsche Cayenne that was standing outside the convenience store that was located at a distance of five minutes walk from the school.

It did not take long for him to recognize the car and its owner. However, what picked Rylan’s attention was the silhouette of the young girl who was sitting on the passenger seat.

Even though most of her face was hidden due to her long hair that she had left loose, he still recognized her at first glance.

Similarly, the grey uniform that the girl was wearing answered one of his many questions.

A small twitch appeared on his lips as Rylan said, “What a great coincidence! Who would have thought that in the end, she’s going to land right under my nose?”

“Second Master, what should we do now?” One of the men asked the boy.

“Since she’s right here in this school, I’ll take care of this matter on my own. You can pull away your men from their assigned tasks. I’ll let you know when I’ll have another job for you guys.” Rylan replied as he forwarded the photo to his phone.

The two men nodded their heads and after exchanging a few more words with their Second Young Master, they finally took their leave.

“Well, well, well, looks like you are destined to be my prey. Let’s see how long you can hide your identity, dear Emilia.” Rylan said softly as his icy blue eyes gleamed with interest and a promise.

I purposely chose the seat at the very back of the room to stay under the radar for the time being.

My time in orphanages and foster homes had taught me not to trust anyone so soon even though that person looked as perfect as a Saint.

Since I was ten minutes early before the starting time of the class, there were barely a few other students in the class.

As time passed, the classroom started filling with students who looked far from happy about starting their day with a Chemistry class.

The buzzing only stopped when the teacher finally entered the class right at nine-twenty.

A quick introduction from the teacher and the new students, including me, and then we were studying about the ‘Effects of Potassium Bisulphate as a food preservative’.

I purposely didn’t introduce myself with my full name as I was not eager about disclosing the information about me being the youngest sibling of the Alessandro brothers.

It was quite surprising, but at the same time also a good thing, that the teacher didn’t pay any attention to my half-hearted introduction.

Everything was going fine and somehow I actually was liking the chapter since I already had gone through half of the syllabus with Jackson, when the door of the classroom opened with a bang and someone entered the room.

The classroom suddenly fell silent as everyone watched the silver-haired boy who was standing near the entrance with a bored look on his face.

I found myself totally surprised as I instantly recognized him.

How could such a coincidence happen?
