Alia had barely taken a few steps when the door to the mansion opened and Sarah, her teenage cousin excitedly rushed out to welco her.
"Cousin Alia, you ca."
Alia opened her arms to receive her pretty cousin. "Yes, I did. How are you?"
They both embraced warmly before Sarah started lanting.
"Not fine, cuz." Sarah pouted cutely. "Mom won't let go to the music festival taking place on the magical Puri island. Do you know that the Evan Brothers will be there? I cannot miss it for the whole world. Can you put in so good words for ?"
"I'll see what I can do," Alia said chuckling.
"Thank you cuz. You're the best." Sarah chirped happily.
"Anything for my sweetest cousin sister." Alia bead as they both made it into the mansion where the butler was already standing by the door.
"Welco, Madam Alia." The old butler greeted with a short bow.
"Thank, Rufus." Alia smiled in response.
"I hope that little mischievous girl is not bugging you because my no remains no," Judith said climbing down the curved stairs.
"Mum, how could you accuse of such? You know I'm a good girl." Sarah said batting her long lashes playfully.
"Yeah, right?" Judith rolled her eyes causing Alia to burst into laughter.
"Coz, please don't forget what we discussed. Love you." Sarah blew kisses to Alia and her mother before dashing out to join her brother Michael at the inner swimming pool house.
"Good evening Auntie and sorry for coming unannounced." Alia welcod a warm embrace and a peck on either side of her cheeks from Judith.
"You don't have to be sorry about anything Alia. This is also your ho and I will always be here for you anyti you need ."
"Thank you, aunt."
"By the way, you are glowing, Amy. Look at you. It seems your husband is really taking good care of you." Judith said, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
"Aunt J, don't make blush." Alia's cheeks slowly turned pinkish red under her aunt's scrutiny.
"It seems soone has finally let go of her candy." Judith teased, leading Alia to the spacious lounge area.
"Oh my goodness!" Alia blushed harder covering her face in embarrassnt.
"Co on Alia, you don't have to be shy. It's you're talking to." Judith made Alia sit beside her on the double leather brown couch, holding her flushed gaze.
"Fine! We did it." Alia replied, blushing even harder while turning her face away in sha.
"And..." Judith was inwardly joyful to see her favourite niece glowing this way after getting her heart stabbed by those ruthless people called her family and ex.
Alia shrugged, unsure of how to describe her sexual experience with Blaze. Aside from being her aunt, Judith was like her elder sister and best friend who she could tell virtually everything.
"It wasn't like I dreamt it would be. Nevertheless, it was really intense and mind-blowing. At first, he was very demanding and a bit annoying in the most intoxicating way. But after he found out that he was my first, he beca very gentle, sweet and passionate." Alia tucked her hair behind her ear, a hint of sadness crossing her eyes.
"Do you regret giving it up?" Judith asked observing her sadness.
"On one hand, yes. I feel I have lost sothing precious. But on the other hand, I don't think I have any regrets. Even though I really wanted to give it to the right person, love was never ant for ."
"Don't talk like that, Amy," Judith said in a slightly rebuking tone holding Alia's hands. "I believe you'll find love and whoever that lucky guy is that will win your heart, he will restore what has been broken. Until then keep an open heart."
Alia nodded her head, dabbing a teardrop that escaped her eyes.
Judith quickly changed the topic seeing how depressing it was for Alia.
"By the way, I got your ssage. You said it was really urgent. What's up."
Alia cleared her throat, facing Judith's quality.
"It's about Presley Anderson."
Judith was taken aback. "What about him?"
"Dad called and he told that Blaze had Gwen and Jerry beaten up and arrested for theft, breaking and entry. He said they were made to pay a huge fine and none of them are willing to counter the injustice ted against them."
"Impressive!" Judith clasped her hands together. "It's about ti soone taught those criminals so lessons they will never forget. I hope he had them beaten real good."
"I don't know," Alia said in frustration. "But that is not the main problem."
"Then what is the problem?" Judith asked, raising an eyebrow. Aren't you happy that Blaze dealt with those criminals after everything they've done to you?"
"I really don't care if those two maggots are run over by a bus. Or if all those responsible for my kidnap et a horrible end. But, I can't let anything happen to my dad or Nana. They both an everything to . According to what Dad said, I have this strange and unwavering feeling that Blaze may have sothing against my Dad in relation to his dad's untily death."
"Are you sure of what you're saying?" Judith asked feeling the weight of Alia's accusations.
"Is just a hunch but I need to dig into it. Tell everything you know about Presley Anderson. I need to know everything about him and what led to his death."
"Hmm... That matter is a bit dicey and there were a lot of coverups most of which I really didn't know. But here are the facts I know about Presley Anderson."

Alia returned to her Villa around 7:30 PM to et Blaze waiting for her in the living room.
"Hey, you are back." Alia was a little bit startled to see him. He was seated on a single couch, wearing a tee shirt and black sweatpants. A bottle of Scotch was on the table beside his seat and he was holding a short-stemd wine glass in his hand right hand. One of his legs was crossed over the order and his head was lowered as though he were in deep thoughts.
However, when he lifted his face to look at her, Alia suddenly felt the air in her lungs being snatched away.
"Why are you snooping in around my family affair?" Blaze asked in a deep, cold and lethal voice, his darkened and inflad gaze shooting daggers at Alia.
