She was so embarrassed to be seen like this by that irksome brother of hers.

" So, this is what you chose over us, over our family, this stupid stuff, oh .. how did it turn out for you? you are almost dying" Zane said with anger in his voice.

"Zane, I don't have time or the liberty to listen to your motherly rants, I'm kind of stuck here, can you help me?"Zena said as she tried to free herself from the ridiculous binding.

"Free yourself then;you got yourself into this mess, by the way!"

"Hey, that's no way to speak to a lady?" Kitty interjected.

"Can you just stay out of my family's business? you are getting really annoying." Zane scolded kitty with a harsh voice.

    After months of court cases and trials, the Anderson's were proven guilty of all cooperate crimes and thereby convicted."Chris, you backstabber, after all this family has down for you, you are running without us?"

Zephyr sipped his wine as he looked towards thin air."Yes sir, the poison was still present ravaging her veins and I saw her jump froma cliff into the deepest ravine I have ever seen. Her bones and body have been crushed into smithereens by now"a voice sounded as the dark shadow materialized." Are you sure about that?"zephyr said still unconvinced. He of all people know the tenacity of his niece, calling her the most stubborn of his brother's children wasn't an exaggeration at all, he didn't believe she was one to die so easily like that." Check the ravine again, report to me when you find a body, I will not believe you until I see a body"" That is absurd, she fell off a tremendously high cliff, she couldn't have survived and there is no way to access the cliff, I tried to check the time she fell off, but the gale was too strong making it impossible for me to go."Still ...""Mr zephyr, the board of directors are ready, they have accepted to work
