Walking towards the dressing table, She was about to pick up her body lotion when she remembered something, She turned around losing the towel and tried to see the scare on her back, Petal started at the pink skin that started from the middle of her back and to her lower back, She was glad that it was on her back a place where no can see.

Warping the towel around her again, She picked up the body lotion bottle and went to sit on the bed.

...

Inside the guests’ house.

"Sir, We found some of the cameras are still working and we found some Videos from surveillance cameras." Mr. Robert, Ethan’s lawyer informed him as he placed the laptop in front of him to show him the videos.

Ethan clicked on the video and it started to play, He saw Petal sitting in a room that looked like a prison, Ethan forwarded the video to see if there is anything important to watch, But he found nothing and it looks like the camera was set there to watch her, closing this video he clicked on the next one.

This time, It was a video of some people he didn’t know and looked like they were imprisoned too by Henry Santos, Clicking on the next one it was the same and the two next videos.

When Ethan clicked on the fourth video, He saw Petal again in the same room. She was being dragged by two men into the room. He could tell that she was trying to escape from them. He saw her father enter the room and spoke to the men.

Turning up the volume, Ethan focused on what her father said.

"I don’t care, Teach her a lesson, Don’t be soft on her." Henry said.

Ethan frowned but continued to watch the video in silence as he dismissed his lawyer.

In the video, Petal was being chained as her father stood there watching. He couldn’t see her face clearly, But he could tell that she was crying from the movement of her shoulders.

Ethan watched as her father man torture her as he stood there watching her whimpering in pain every time she has quirted her on her back.

Ethan’s hands turned in fists watching this. How could a father do something like this to his daughter, But then again, He remembered what he did to her. He did the same to her, So don’t have the right to speak.

Ethan felt something in his heart, Something stirring his heart the more he watched.

He watched as she was thrown on the ground after being tortured and left alone in that room. He could see that her back was bleeding and that she was in pain.

Ethan stopped the video and stood up walking towards the balcony, He needed some fresh air, His heart felt heavy as he was carrying weights on his chest taking out a cigarette, He lights it before he started to smoke it taking a long puff from it before he released it in the air, Thinking about everything he saw.

He hated how he felt right now but he couldn’t help it. Even Ethan Wilson, The most dangerous underworld man, Has no control over his heart.

Taking the last puff of the cigarette, He went back to the room and put the cigarette in the ashtray before he went to sit down in front of the laptop top to watch the rest of the video until he finds what he is looking for.

He had sent his man to get him every surveillance camera and everything that they can get that can help him find out what happened the day that his wife was killed. It appears that he needs to clear up some misunderstandings and to do that, He needs to find what he is looking for first.

That night, Ethan spent the whole night searching through the videos until he found what he was looking for.

Placing both hands under his chin watching, If what his mother said is true, then this video should prove it.

In the video, Petal entered the room that Alice and Evelyn were locked in. She carefully looked around her before she asked them to follow her. Everything went well and they managed to escape from the guards but Henry was a Careful man.

When they were about to leave the gates, Henry man found out and they catch them, Petal tried to Stop her father man and asked them to go first but they couldn’t and in seconds they were surrounded by the guards and that’s when the unfortunate thing happened, Evelyn was killed, Alice managed to escape with Petal help.

Closing the laptop lid, He sat back on his chair, Rubbing his chin, All these years, He had understood what happened wrong. accusing an innocent person of doing something that she didn’t.

What he was thinking, She was his age when that happened, She couldn’t possibly do something like this.

Regret, Is the feeling that he hates the most and he was feeling it? Ethan may have blood in his hands, But he never had an innocent person’s blood on his hands. He was always careful to make sure that whoever is punished is a guilty person, Now he is the guilty one.

Ethan felt his head about to explode. He hadn’t slept in two days and he didn’t feel the need to sleep yet. He had been suffering from insomnia for a long time.

Standing up from his seat he walked towards the liquor cabinet and opened it. He picked up a Vodka bottle along with a cup before he walked back towards his chair and poured for himself before he started to drink.

When Ethan needs to stop thinking about everything and shut his mind off, Drinking is the only thing that can help him.

Finishing half of the bottle, Ethan decided that it’s enough. He wasn’t the kind to drink until he made a fool of himself. He knew how to handle his liquor.

Ethan stood up leaving the house to go for a walk. He also needed to speak with his mother about some matters about the new project.

When he stepped out of the house, The first thing he felt was the cool night breeze. He closed his eyes, letting the cool breeze calm his troubled mind.

Ethan opened his eyes and looked up, The light in Petal room was still on even though it’s past midnight.

Walking towards the mansion, His feet dragged him upstairs, To the fourth floor, Where all the mummies were buried there.

Reaching the fourth floor, Ethan stopped for a moment before he walked forward. The place was dark. The only light was coming from the big open window.

Ethan looked closely and saw someone was standing there, He took two other steps and stopped when he realized who that person was.

It was Petal, But what is she doing standing there at this time of night?

Ethan stood there not knowing what to do, It seems that she hadn’t noticed that he was there.

Running his fingers through his hair, He decided to leave, Ethan turned around and was about to leave when he heard a sound, Like a muffled cry and he turned around to look at her.

His mother had informed him about what happened today and she asked him to try and find that man named Jacob, Her bodyguard since she was a little girl. He understood that she considered that Person as her older brother.

Ethan heard another muffled cry and felt his heartache.

He stood there frozen to the ground, Not knowing what he should do, He didn’t have the right to comfort her when he made her cry once.

Massaging the space between his eyebrows, He contemplates what to do for a moment before he decided what to do.

Walking towards her, Ethan stopped when they were half a meter away from each other.

Petal heard the footsteps and she turned her head to look, Their eyes met but this time she wasn’t afraid of him, She was too tired to be bothered by him.

She had come here to be alone and he was here, Petal stared at him with her eyes that were full of tears and she didn’t even bother to whip them.

Ethan took a closer look at her and noticed that she didn’t step back. She ignored his presence and turned to look outside the window again as if she was telling him to leave her alone.

Ethan looked at her for a moment before he turned around and left, respecting her wish to be alone.

He recalled the look in her eyes and it made him feel uneasy about himself. The hatred that she harbored towards him was evident in her eyes.
