(Adrian's pov)

Its been a month since Jeff and Liu moved in the mansion and things have gotten pretty heated in the underworld.

Zalgo is pissed and has declared war.

I need a more detailed explanation of why Zalgo is after the trio.

I found Roselyn alone in the library and figured this was the best time to talk about the said topic.

"Roselyn, we need to talk" I said sternly and to the point.

"Yes, I suppose we do, don't we?" she sighed in defeat.

"Why is Zalgo after you and your brothers?" I asked.

"He isn't after my brothers, just me" she replied

"Why?" I pondered.

"It's because of my powers. I could easily destroy him. Therefore, he wants to claim me as his bride. Jeff and Liu have been helping me get stronger, so when the time comes, I’ll be able to face him alone. Zalgo will kill anyone who gets in his way" Roselyn explained.

"You said in your letter that you are not related to the twins or Sally. Why do you call Phoebe and Eliza your cousins and Sally your younger sister?" I questioned.

"I was sent to an orphanage after the incident where Jeff lost his sanity. I met Sally there in the orphanage. She looked up to me, depended on me, so she started to call me her big sister. The Parker family adopted Sally and I"

"How did you end up with your uncle?" I asked.

"I was twelve and Sally had just turned eight years old. 'mom and dad' were abusive parents. One day, Sally and I had just got home from school and we found them and Mason drunk off their asses. We tried to get upstairs without them noticing, but we were caught. Mason grabbed Sally by her hair and I was thrown into the wall. I was knocked unconscious upon impact. When I woke up, Sally was lying in a pool of her own blood, dead. I was overflowing with rage and before I knew it, I had murdered my adoptive parents and passed out due to trauma. Mason had told the cops a story filled with utter bullshit lies about how someone had broken into the house and I was the only one who survived" she huffed concluding her story.

It all made sense now that I think about it.

I’m just glad that she trusts me like she trusts Richard.
