Chapter 143 - SURPRISING DISCOVERY

We are almost complete now except Ace is not around. How I wish he's here now so he would see Vien and Faith together. The sight would deeply touch his heart the way it did to me.

I swallowed hard and forced a smile on my lips. A tear blurred my vision and I blinked back the impending tears. If only Ace was here, he would see this emotional scene. He would surely be crying too.

Vien lifted her dainty fingers and gently touched her little sister's tiny hands. Amazement lit her eyes while her lips couldn't stop smiling.

I never thought that a day like this would come. Watching the scene magically unfold right in front of my eyes filled my heart with a rush of emotions.

That moment I felt as if I'm in heaven. Heaven I haven't felt for a long time after I thought that Vien died in an accident because of me.

"C-cann I-I k-kiss h-her?" Vien asked, her wide stretched eyes begging as she looked at me.

"Of course Vien! She's your younger sister. You could kiss her as much as you like." I replied and watched as her bright blue eyes lit up even brighter.

"T-thank y-you Mama." She replied softly, a blush creeping on the smoothness of her cheeks.

I lowered Faith until Vien could reach her.

"Faith." Vien said softly. Her exquisite blue eyes nailed on the little girl in front of her. For the first time since we met, I heard her say a word without stuttering. It makes me want to throw my arms around her in surprise but I don't want to destroy the beautiful moment so I just watch her lay a soft kiss on Faith's temples.

When I lifted my head, I caught everyone staring at us with a dreamy look on their eyes, touched by the scene they witnessed.

Alexander cleared his throat after he recovered. My eyes drifted to him and I saw his expression sobered.

"Lady Ravenwood and I wanted to talk to you in private, Phoenix." He said seriously when he caught me looking at him.

I let go a deep sigh and nodded.

I know he would want to talk to me. There's so many things which he must know and the first in my list is tell him about my daughter.

Alexander and Claire slowly made their way to the library. I watched them walk away until they reached the door and entered inside. When the door closed, that's when I turned my attention to Madam Stella and Elisa.

"Don't worry, Elisa and I would accompany the kids." Madam Stella said.

I looked at Elisa to see if it's alright. She gave me a soft, reassuring smile and nodded her head.

"Thank you." I thanked them both.

I carefully placed Faith into Elisa's arms before turning towards Vien. "I will be back, darling. Mama needed to talk to grandma and grandpa first."

Vien nodded her head in understanding. After taking Madam Stella's hand, they headed towards the door for a subtle breath of fresh air outside the garden.

I pulled the door to the library open. I stepped inside then closed it behind me.

Lady Ravenwood was seated on the long rectangular table, and father was seated across from her. When they heard me enter, both looked up to me.

I took a deep long breath and summoned all the courage I could muster to begin my explanation but before I could open my father spoke.

"I already know everything." He said calmly. I was expecting him to be mad at me for not telling him immediately but instead he was surprisingly cool. "Please sit down and I will explain everything." He added and motioned me to take the vacant seat beside him. I obediently followed.

When I was seated he spoke again.

"Lucas Nicholas already told me everything." He said casually referring to Ace's best friend. My eyes widened in surprise. Why would Lucas tell father about it?

I blinked several times, pondering the reason inside my head but I couldn't find the right answer. I let go a deep sigh and gave up.

As if father read my thoughts, he explained. "It was me who hired Lucas Nicholas from an investigation agency so he would watch over Vince."

Another wave of shock hit me. So father did investigate Vince? And Lucas Nicholas—Ace's best friend was a secret agent or something? I have seen Lucas several times and he surely looks mysterious but it never occurred to me he was an agent. I thought secret agents only exist in novels and movies.

I don't know how I would handle these surprising revelations. I wasn't even expecting this. My back straightened after taking a subtle breath. I focused my attention on my father while bracing myself for another startling news.

"I want to ensure you and Ace are both safe. That's why I hired?Lucas Nicholas to keep an eye and watch your every move. Lucas secretly gives me a report on what's happening around you and that's how I found out that Vince was plotting against you and Ace." 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

He took a deep breath then released the breath he's holding before he continued. "I ordered Lucas to watch every Vince's move and looked for an evidence that prooves he tried to kill you and his wife Angela was an accomplice. After a week of trailing Vince Lucas couldn't find any pressing evidence and?was almost close to giving up. But by sheer dedication, his hard work finally paid off. True he didn't find any evidence but he stumbled upon a far more important truth— he discovered Vien was alive."

Father's expression was calm but his inky black eyes gleamed with triumph.

When my gaze suddenly shifted to Claire, I caught her intently looking at father. She didn't even seem surprise as she listened to his explanation.

I understand that father is beyond all this but what I don't understand is why Lady Ravenwood was involved in this too. Aside of course of being Ace's mother.𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
