Knowing the Truth

Eighteen years later.

"Hello, the most handsome man in the Adams family," Kylie said during a video call to Arson, Drake Adams' first son.

The man on the other side laughed at Kylie's words.

"Hello is also the most beautiful girl because she's the only woman in the Adams family," said Arson, teasing Kylie, the youngest daughter in their family.

Kylie smiled because it was true, she was the only woman in the Adams family after the departure of her late mother.

"I'm coming home tomorrow. Did you miss me?" asked Kylie who also teased Arson.

Kylie is currently in Germany. Kylie has been living there for 3 years to continue her education, and tomorrow she will return to Italy to enroll in one of the best campuses in her homeland which belongs to none other than the famous mafia family, Drake Adams.

"No, I don't. I don't miss you at all!" the man replied quickly and managed to make Kylie move her lips forward.

Arson held back his laughter when he saw Kylie's pouting face.

"Arson, you're really bad! You're the only one who doesn't miss me, while the others are eagerly awaiting my return," Kylie said, moving her lips even further.

Arson's laughter broke out even more at Kylie's whining.

"When you're angry, you look even more beautiful," he said, trying to seduce Kylie.

Kylie made a pouty face. "Arson, don't tease me!"

I'll love you more later. This final sentence could only be said by Kylie in her heart.

The girl cursed what she was feeling, she shouldn't love Arson like this.

The man on the other side was puzzled when he saw Kylie's sudden silence.

"Hey, why so pensive?" he asked and managed to snap Kylie out of her reverie.

Kylie was taken aback. The girl laughed so much that she showed her teeth. It wasn't long before she folded her face again. "It's because you don't miss me!" Kylie replied simply to cover her nervousness in front of the man she loved.

Arson burst out laughing at Kylie's cuteness.

"I was just joking. Just so you know, I'm the one who misses you the most, and can't even wait for your return, Honey."

Hearing the word 'honey' come out of Arson's mouth made Kylie even more embarrassed. This small thing already made her heart beat fast. Somehow every attention given by Arson always made Kylie's heart flutter, while the attention of Drake's other three sons never made her cheeks blush.

Unable to contain her embarrassment, Kylie simply ended the call, without saying goodbye to Arson. She couldn't bear to talk to Arson for long.

After the video call ended, Kylie quickly rubbed her chest while lightly patting her cheeks.

"Wake up Kylie, wake up! You are one family. You can't love him, and please get rid of your feelings," Kylie monologued.

Kylie sighed.

"You need to get rid of these feelings quickly Kylie, before they deepen and hurt yourself. This love will never be reciprocated because you will never be together forever. Remember, you are one biological family," she tried to remind herself to realize that she should not have feelings for Arson Adams, Drake Adams' first son.

"Siblings can't love each other, let alone hope for a relationship until marriage!" Kylie muttered again with a sad face.

The young girl tried to make herself realize that the feelings she had were the biggest mistake she had made.

On the other side.

Arson was suddenly confused because the call just ended. The man thought that his network was having an error.

"Why is it dead?" he asked monologuing.

Arson also tried to open a video application to test his provider's signal and it turned out that he didn't have any problems.

He also tried to contact Kylie, but Drake's daughter did not answer him, making Arson worry that something had happened to Kylie.

Just as her hand wanted to press the call button again, a message came in and Kylie's name was there. Arson quickly opened it.

[Don't call me yet! I'm packing clothes,]

Kylie's message said and managed to make Arson feel calm because his bad thoughts didn't happen.

After sending a message to Arson. Kylie went back to arranging her clothes into the suitcase.

While preparing all the necessities for her return, Kylie intends to go somewhere for a while to say goodbye to all her friends.

The girl grabbed the bag and tucked the gun in the back. However, just as her feet took a step, Kylie was approached by a 45-year-old man.

The bodyguards assigned to guard Kylie did not remain silent, they approached to block the strange man.

"May I speak to you for a moment, Miss Kylie?" the mysterious man asked in Italian.

Kylie, who heard the stranger speak in Italian, thought a little about agreeing to the man's request.

The girl nodded.

Seeing Kylie agree to the stranger's invitation made some of her bodyguards try to obstruct her for fear that the stranger would hurt their employer's child.

The only daughter in the Adams family shook her head at her guards.

"Aber, Fräulein," one of the guards said in German.

"Stehen sie 5 meters von mir entfernt!" Kylie ordered her bodyguards in German.

The foreign man who did not understand what Kylie and her men were saying could only listen silently, he was sure that Kylie would not hurt him.

All the bodyguards nodded.

Kylie let the stranger walk in front of her first, the old man chose the small garden in the side yard of the luxurious apartment known to belong to her family.

"I don't want to make small talk with you, Kylie," the man said.

Kylie frowned, very confused by the words of the man in front of her.

"My years of sadness are somewhat alleviated when I see my niece this big and beautiful," she said with teary eyes.

Kylie, who didn't understand, was even more confused by the man's words. "What do you mean? Tell me clearly because I don't have much time!"

The girl deliberately said that she didn't want to give her family enemy a chance by lingering like this.

"Please take revenge for the death of my brother and sister-in-law," the man pleaded again.

Kylie, who thought the man's words were a joke, sighed while slightly looking away.

"Sorry, I can't! Excuse me," Kylie refused and immediately turned around.

"But they are your real parents!" the man said again, successfully making Kylie stop her steps.

The only daughter of Drake Adams turned her body to face the man who was still standing there with a hostile face.

"Do you know the risks of messing with my family?" asked Kylie who did not like the man's words.

The man nodded steadily.

"I know all too well, but I can't keep silent like this. You're part of our family, only you can help us avenge this," the man said again.

Kylie was silent, not knowing what to do. She didn't want to believe it, but her heart told her otherwise.

The old man reached into his small bag. "All this is proof that you're just an adopted child in the Adams family!" he said as he handed something to Kylie.

Kylie's beautiful eyes glanced at the sheet in the man's hand.

"This is your real mother and father," he continued, showing a photo.

Kylie saw clearly that the baby's face was so similar to her when she was one year old.

Kylie tried to dismiss everything by not believing it because baby faces around the world almost have similarities if they are babies.

Drake Adams' favorite moved her body forward and immediately pulled the man's shirt collar making all of Kylie's bodyguards point a gun right at the mysterious man. Although a girl, Kylie has been equipped with martial arts from an early age by her family, so she is not afraid of dealing with the Adams family's enemies.

"Save your lies and traps because I won't believe them!" Kylie said coldly, just like her father when he wasn't joking.

"If you don't believe me, you can secretly take a DNA test. They are the ones who killed your innocent parents so cruelly that your father's face and body were destroyed," she half-whispered.

Kylie froze.

"I don't have much time. If I stay here, I might die at the hands of Drake's men who are guarding you," the man said as he handed over another photo. Behind the picture was the man's phone number.

The girl's hand released the grip that was still on the man's neck, and she understood the man's intention of asking Kylie to contact him someday.

Suddenly she believed and would try to do what the strange man proposed. No wonder Kylie had never seen a photo of herself as a newborn, while Drake's four sons each had them and were still neatly stored in albums. Her album contains when she was one year old, when she was able to crawl and start walking. Every time Kylie asks a question, Drake and Emily compactly answer if Kylie's photo has been damaged by water spilled by Jeykey, whose age is only 2 years different.

The man wanted to get out of there. Just about to take a step, Kylie's call stopped her.

"Wait," Kylie pleaded.

The man turned his head back.

Kylie took another step closer to the stranger. There was no way she could speak in a loud voice because it would make all her men hear, and immediately report everything to her father because she knew this incident would soon reach the ears of her family.

"Who killed them?" Kylie asked in a low voice.

Somehow Kylie came to believe the man's words.

The old man came closer and whispered something again.

Kylie stood still, her body frozen. It felt like every bone in her body went limp, her life seemed to go with the old man's footsteps. All the bodyguards looked confused because they didn't hear what the man whispered at all.

Her heart was broken, so broken that she knew it was the man who had killed her parents. What should she do now? Choose to defend her love or move to commit bloodshed?
