His Fractured Flame (Book II of His Fragile Flame)

"Dad!" I called for him with my little voice and watched as he turned his back to face me.A smile appeared on his lips-- that bright smile that lit up like a dawn. His face was dazzling under the sun, and his eyes glinted in them. He was the only person that could make me run when I felt like the entire world was heaved on my shoulders. I called him my sanctuary, and I was his little princess.

William plopped some files in front of me, as I stared at it while unwrapping the white cloth that was cloaking my hands. Tossing it on the ground, I reached for the file and flipped it open. We were sitting in front of the gym's huge table, and William was seated on the other side. He was watching me read the texts on the paper, elbows placed on the table and his hands were clasped together.

The memory appeared vividly in my head, and the occurrences had replayed as if it was recorded for the millionth time. I saw the person who I had grown fear from, and this was such an unfortunate circumstance for him to be in. The record had said that he was captured by the police and was locked up in a cell.

I wanted to lash out from these problems, but it wouldn’t be resolved until we create a solution. Right now, after I agreed to William and Hansel, we were heading to Dmitri’s location. Wil

I gasped. My muscles tensed, and I blinked my eyes a couple of times. I didn’t know what or how to feel because I was filled in disbelief. It all made sense now. I couldn’t wrap my head around it, and I still needed an assurance if this was true. But why would William lie about it? Was it to protect me, or he had other intentions? I didn’t know what to believe anymore. This had been hidden from me for almost forever, none of them had spoken up about this. But was it my fault for not figuring it out? Because I had been speculating all the time and I was dumb enough to not realize it.
