Chapter 26
“Well now it makes sense“, he said.
“What do you mean“?
“Well, I was too young but Aunt Darla told me. I don’t much about the Sterling’s personally or Dorian. But she said back when Dorian was around twenty or so he had a girlfriend. Everyone in Havenwood knew about them and he was planning on marrying her but something happened. This is where the story is sketchy everyone said something different“, he said
“What do you mean“?,
“Well some said that Emelda hates Dorian and because of that she killed Anya, some say Anya was paid off to disappear. And the most popular one said that Emelda found Dorian and Anya together one day and she killed Anya in front of Dorian“, he said
“That’s why when he saw her in my apartment, He looked like he had seen a ghost“.
“Well guess the last one was right. Anyway, after Anya disappeared Dorian just became different. He became cold, unforgiving and ruthless. He stopped caring about anything and anyone. They said after Anya disappeared Emelda locked him in a room for Months. He tried to kill himself too“. He said.
“Jesus. Why does Emelda hate him so much“?
“Because of his mother“, Darla said standing in the doorway. She made her way over to us and sat down.
“Lillith Andrews was like nothing Havenwood had ever seen. Dorian has her eyes. Kevin Sterling fell in love with her at first sight. He didn’t know that Franklin Sterling that’s the old man. Dorian’s grandfather was already planning to get his son Married to Emelda. Emelda had always been head over heels in love with Kevin and when she found out she lost her shit.”
“They were all over Havenwood. By the time Franklin found out it was too late, and Emelda was pissed. Lillith was pregnant. Franklin had no choice but to get them married. Emelda was raising hell. I don’t remember how old Dorian was maybe four or five when Lillith died in a car accident. Franklin forced Kevin to Marry Emelda if he wanted to remain in the Family“.
“Damn. That’s messed up“.
“Yea well. After he married her. We heard rumors that Emelda made Kevin and Dorian’s life hell because he married Lillith before her. The same year he married her he died in a car accident also” Dara said.
“Wait what“?
that house
“Yes. After his son’s death. Franklin left Havenwood for a few years. After Kevin died no one knows what happened but You rarely saw Dorian. When Franklin returned that’s when we say Dorian again. He was around fifteen. That was when Franklin sent him abroad to study. When he returned, he met Anya and then she disappeared and he became what he is now“, she said
“Wow. Well maybe this is their chance to be together“,
“Be careful Sky. If Emelda knows Anya is alive then that makes you a target also“, Darla said.
“I know Asher already warned me. Semester break will start soon o I’m free now“.
“Good because the golf tournament will be starting soon and the bringing out dance. Were the Prominent families will introduce their daughter that are of age to the society so be prepared“. Darla said
“Cool”

Chapter 26
I stayed for a while, and we chatted then I headed back to the apartment. When I walked in it was quiet. She wasn’t here. I did some laundry and cleaned up a bit then grabbed a shower. I was in the kitchen making dinner when the front door opened, and Anya walked in followed by Dorian.
“Ms. Raines“, he said, I just nodded.
“What are you making Sky“? Anya asked.
“Pasta. I’m finished. I’ll be in my room“, I said grabbing my plate and walking away.
“Okay I’ll be back“, She said walking to her room.
“Skylar, you don’t need to be afraid to be around me” Dorian said, I stopped and looked at him.
“I have a crazy, obsessed and possessive Demon that lost his shit all because I opened the door for you the other day wearing sleepwear. I don’t feel like getting my ass tanned so no thanks“.
“Really“, he asked leaning against the wall taking off the sunglasses and smirking at me. I looked at him. He was good looking but what do I care.
“See something you like“? he asked, quietly
“No. I don’t really like a lot of things“.
“And what exactly are some of the things you like“?, he asked in a whisper.
