I looked at his retreating back of his with nothing but teary eyes. Whom should I believe?

I heard another gunshot go off and with a last glance I made up my mind. Turning around I just ran towards the servant's quarter.

Deep inside of me, I believed what all was being said. The reality was crashing all my dreams but it didn't matter because I had to run. As far as from this place and try to put all the puzzle pieces together.

Looking everywhere I found a car hidden in a corner covered. Ripping the cover away I got down on my knees to get the keys. They were where they were said to be. I looked behind me for the one last time looking at the place that I called home. Putting the key in the car I roared the engine to life. The car didn't make much noise. Putting the letter in the dashboard to keep it safe. I moved out of the compound and out on the road.

I didn't realize that I was crying all I felt was the wetness on my cheeks. The only thing I needed to know was that I had to get far away from this place and people. I had nothing on me. No phone and no jewelry even no identity.

I took a road and drove and drove until I was far away from the place and people that were once my home.

5 hours later

I didn't know where I was but I was in some parking,. No directions I had. All I saw was the parking and stopped.

The time had passed in a haze but there was not much that I could remember with the bombarding questions in my mind. It was running and at the same time, I felt it wasn't. Lost was I was in my own world and it was only when the car indicated that I was running out of gas I had stopped. My tears had stopped but the car hadn't.

I didn't what to do because I hell of didn't have any money on me. Walking out of there without anything I didn't have any fucking idea how I was going to survive.

What the fuck I was going to do?

The letter.

I remembered and without hesitation, I took it out of the dashboard.

Opening it open I took out the letter. It was handwritten by Sienna.

Valencia,

Run as far as you can. Don't think of ever coming back to here even if it's our death you hear about.

Don't look back and come for us.

I beg of you to never step foot in this town again because if you did he would catch you. Your real father is looking for you high and low and everywhere.

I know you have nothing to believe in me for and it is right of you but please believe the words of this letter.

I had made too many mistakes in my life but I never considered you to be a mistake. Your real father, Ivan Nicholai Petruska, had been nothing but a spur of the moment that had never haunted me back until these past years. He has been looking for you for the last four years.

The first time I had pushed you out of the house because he had called me and told me he was coming for you. I was panicked and scared because when he had told me his name. I knew who he was. A man that everyone was scared of even back then. What were the odds that I ended up in his bed?

No one told me that monsters looked human too.

He won't mercy on you. All he sees you as a breeding vessel.

What I had with him was a passing moment with him and I was almost scared to even then. Hearing his voice so many years later can't even begin with the fear I had felt. That is why I made you leave. I knew it was wrong but it was the only best option I had ever had and it was something I would never regret.

He had come looking for you afterward and the man he had brought with him had only left me shook deep to my core. All he wants is you and your womb.

His son had been killed a few months back now he needs you to continue his bloodline. In his quest of search, he had found you, a secret that I had kept buried for so long has been out.

I had searched for him but that was even before you were born. What I had come up was with nothing. However, I had looked for him when you were three and George had the doubts. Maybe it was then when I had made the slip and that is why he had come to know all about you. That time I didn't have a name but now I did, I was scared of what I saw and learned.

He is vicious and already has a man ready for you to marry off.

Nut the thing that scares me the most is that there are men after him. He had done something horrible in the past and that is the reason his son was killed. If you got in between, you would end up dead too, dear. I don't know much but that Russians are after him and Italians are supporting him.

It's a war.

I want to scare you off from him because he won't stop at any means to get you.

So, I want you to run Valencia. Always look behind your back and keep on running.

There are two bags in the back with some clothes and a lot of cash.

It won't be enough for the rest of your life but would help you for a while.

It was the best I could do.

Don't try to contact us or anyone else because they would catch you.

I made you lose the last one but I won't let you lose this child.

Stay safe in a somewhere small faraway town.

Anywhere. Just never look for the people who you had left behind from this day forward.

May you both live long.

Forgive me after my death if you can.

Sienna

Your mother

I sobbed as I felt the pain hit me. All this mess that I had been dragged into is not something that I have never wanted but here I was.

Everything Zach had said was the truth too.

He was right too.

If my real father Nicolai was looking for me then Demyan wasn't the man I had thought him to be. There was no love between us. All I was a means to an end in his revenge just like I was a mean to an end for my father to continue his bloodline. My whole life felt like had been taken away from me, ripped apart and torn to never been able to be taped off.

Demyan was a liar. All that love and promises were nothing but a game. He hurt and used me all in the name of love.

What foolish girl I was. Both of them used me. Brought me into their world showing me hope but it was nothing. All I was a sacrificing lamb for them. Just a sacrifice they had to make for their sick revenge. I was nothing.

I wept for the girl who had believed in love. For the girl who had no one.

I sobbed for my child who couldn't meet his father because the father wanted to kill him. Drain him off the blood that was running out of his veins. I sobbed for my child who wanted to be killed by my father so he could have run his bloodline with the man of his choice.

Everything was never as it looked and this was the first time, I had understood that.

All that hatred of hers and being kicked out was for me. It was to help me escape the man who could ruin my life but...

I started laughing at the thought where had that ended up me to be.

I escaped from the man only to be discovered by the devil to be used and played with. I was just a fucking toy in all of their grand plans.

I was already in the middle of the war. I had been dragged and pulled into it.

"Ahhhhh" I screamed in my car with my hands over my head.

"Why me?" I shouted.

"Why god why did you make this my life. Why?" I screamed and punched the steering wheel because I was bleeding from inside. Every part of me was bleeding with pain and betrayal I had felt from this life.

I knew the only choice now I had was to keep on moving.

To going to some faraway land where I, Valencia didn't exist and wasn't known of.

All now I had was a path ahead.
