The Broken Angel & Her Overprotective Brothers - Chapter 59
“Then it means, you and Rylan only met during your Chemistry period?”
Leo voiced out his question as he waited for Emily to confirm his doubt.
“You are right. However, only if we are talking about the same Rylan.” Emily replied as she lightly shrugged her shoulders.
“There’s only one Rylan Sullivan living in this city. So, we are absolutely on the same page. However, I’m surprised that he has actually appeared in the class. Looks like he will be staying in the City to complete his final year of High School.”
As Crist’s words registered in everyone’s mind, they all thought about the rumors that they came across a few months ago.
The school campus was buzzing with the news that Rylan would be leaving for the country to complete the rest of his studies overseas.
And it was Leo who informed the rest of his brothers about this news. Even though none of them actually believed the rumor but there were still chances for this rumor to turn into reality.
But now looking at the current situation, it was clear that Rylan would be staying in the City and probably would complete his final year of school too.
The Alessandro brothers previously did not care about whether he stayed in the City or not.
However, the situation had changed. Now, it was their little sister who had ended up in the middle of a crisis that involved Rylan.
Even if they wanted, the Alessandro brothers could no longer keep a blind eye towards Rylan Sullivan.
“Do you think that the cha…well, never mind?” Leo stopped in the middle of his sentence as his eyes landed on his sister who was looking at him in return.
Even though he did not complete his sentence but all his brothers understood exactly what he was trying to say.
“He’s a Sullivan. There’s the possibility that it did not work on him.” Daniel replied with a frown.
“If it’s like that then it’s obviously Em’s similar facial features to us that ticked his curiosity off. But is it possible that he broke such an important rule just because he was curious about Em’s identity?” Crist voiced out his question as he looked at the rest of his brothers.
“We will probably get these answers in the Elders meeting.” Domenic’s words silenced everyone present in the room.
“Elders meeting?” Leo asked with shock.
“I’ll look after the preparation. But you will first need to send the summon to the Sullivans.” Daniel told Domenic.
All this while Emily was left totally clueless about what was going on.
“What are you guys talking about? What’s going on?” She could not help but ask the questions that were brewing inside her buzzing mind.
She had only told them about the masked man and how she felt someone dragging her to the ground at the time of the blast before she lost her consciousness.
In short, except for the part where Rylan was involved, she had recited the entire incident without missing anything.
What surprised her was that all the CCTV footage of the mall disappeared before her brother’s men could retrieve them.
This only gave her more confidence to continue with the lie that she had told her brothers about not coming across Rylan at the mall.
“Let’s just say that our family is not on friendly terms with the Sullivans. They are prohibited from entering the Southern part of the city, just like we are forbidden from entering the Northern part. That’s why Rylan’s presence at the mall is not only suspicious but also a big matter.” Daniel told Emily in a serious but also warm tone.
Even though Emily only grasped the point that Rylan was actually on bad terms with her brothers and the fact that the city was divided into two zones made more questions arose in her mind, she still nodded her head slightly in reply.
There were tons of questions that she wanted to ask but seeing that Daniel did not try to elaborate his short information on the rivalry between their family and the Sullivans, she thought better of voicing out her questions.
“Alright. I will try my best to stay away from him in school.” She replied with a soft smile as she looked at her brothers.
Domenic and Daniel both nodded their heads as Daniel engulfed her in a side hug and planted a feathery kiss on her temple.
“Don’t worry, Em! We will investigate about the mall’s incident and will find out exactly what is going on. No matter who’s after all this, we won’t let them escape. Trust us on this.” Crist promised her as he came closer to crouch down in front of her and held her small hands in his large ones.
“I know,” Emily replied as she lightly squeezed his hands in return.
“Alright! It’s already late and I’m sure Emilia is exhausted. Let’s end this topic here for now. We will talk about this more tomorrow when we probably will have some more solid information about that masked man’s identity and Rylan’s motive for appearing at the mall.”
Domenic’s smooth but commanding tone immediately made everyone start moving as they all stood up from their sitting positions.
“Alright, let’s head towards our bedrooms. Good night Sorellina.” Daniel said as he again planted a soft kiss on Emily’s forehead.
After wishing good night to all her brothers, she left the room along with Leo as the both of them started walking towards her bedroom.
The rest of her brothers were still inside the library and she had a feeling that they were not going to sleep anytime soon.
She felt warmth around her right arm and the next second Leo squeezed her arm lightly as he gave her a reassuring smile.
Even though she returned the smile and appreciated his sweet gesture, but the light itching that had started in her brand new tattoo was developing a completely new type of fear in her.
The darkness that had taken over the outside world in the name of the night, was going to bring something terrifying for her.
And Emily sure was not prepared for what was coming next for her!
