Aslap resounded on Ryan’s cheek and he faltered in his steps. “Didn't | tell you to break your friendship with Roaxana? | provided you full independence and you did this to me!” James shouted at his son..
After reading the first headline from the newspaper, James was mad.
“Dad, at least listen to what Ryan has to say. Noah came forward in defence of his younger brother. “They both are just friends,” he stated.
“Step away, Noah. This brat needs to know what he has done.” James’s anger still had not come down. He was still furious at Ryan for keeping his friendship alive for so many years without his knowledge.
“| don’t understand this family feud. Roaxana and | were stuck last night. That’s why | had to stay a night in the motel. What’s wrong in that?” Ryan raised his voice, feeling annoyed because his father acted like a madman for a reason which he wasn't even well
aware.
Noah told Ryan to stay quiet since their father’s anger could grow because of that.
“| don’t want to know what was that stu pid reason that I cannot even help my friend. | seriously am tired because of all this,” Ryan’s frustration grew as he expressed it.
“Shut your mouth. Your mother died because of those stu pid Lycans!” James blurted out, causing the both of them to widen their eyes. All these years, James never told them the truth about their mother and remained quiet about it.
“What do you mean, Dad?” Ryan asked. “What did they do to Mom?” he queried as he furrowed his brows together.
“Your mother helped her friend, who was a witch. It was against some rules and she was punished by the Lycans,” James pronounced as he settled on the couch with a heavy heart. “Stay away from Roaxana Moore if you respect your mother even a bit,” he then told Ryan.
Both Ryan and Noah were shocked to learn the truth about their mother. For Ryan it was more disturbing because he couldn't even remember what she looked like. All these years, he thought his mother died because of accident.
Tears welled up in his eyes and his head lowered on his own. Ryan tightened his fists in anger because he never imagined that the Moore Family could ever do this to him.
All the love and respect he had toward them, suddenly vanished into thin air. Only hatred was left behind.
Roaxana intentionally went late to the Star Restaurant despite Isaac warned her to be on time. As she reached the table, where Isaac was present, she said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Sinclair, for making you wait.”
Roaxana placed her handbag on the circular table and then settled on the chair.
Isaac was handsome and she could understand now why her mother kept telling her how the man had a line of proposals for him.
“| know I’ve gotten great looks, but you need not to stare at me,” Isaac pronounced in a stern tone, bringing her out of her thoughts. “I think you will not mind if we will stay informal. Also, you are twenty minutes late. | hope this no longer happens.” ‘Why is he making me feel guilty for being late? Roaxana thought and quickly wore a smile on her lips. “Of course, | won't mind being informal, Isaac. Shall we proceed to order?” She asked.
“I've chosen the today’s menu. The servers will shortly bring it here,” Isaac asserted.
Roaxana sipped the water and heard an expected question from him.
“Who was the man with you last night? Also, what did you two do last night? Why did you go on with him in the motel?” Isaac was quite direct in his questions.
“Do I've to explain all this to you now?” Roaxana placed the glass on the table.
“Of course. | don’t wish to keep any misunderstandings between us,” Isaac affirmed.
“Then, | should ask you too. How many women have you slept with so far? Did you sleep with anyone last night?” Her question wasn’t what Isaac anticipated.
He arched his eyebrow at her. “I am not that kind of man, Roaxana,” Isaac answered.
“I'm also not the kind of woman you thought of me based on what the media spread,” Roaxana asserted.
Isaac ended up smiling. He had never encountered a woman like her and it made him chuckle too. “Then, what's the truth?” he queried.
“The person whom | was with last night is my best friend. Because the rain was heavy and his car’s fuel tank was emptied, we decided to stay the night in that motel,” Roaxana explained to him.
The two servers came and they served the meals for them from the starters, to the main dishes, to the appetizers. An expensive wine was also served to them upon Isaac’s instruction.

Again, they were alone and began eating.
“| have never gone on a date before. This is my first time,” Isaac told her.
“It is the first time for me as well,” Roaxana answered.
Isaac ended up smiling again as he took the steak in his mouth. After chewing it well, he swallowed it and said, “Roaxana, you are an interesting woman. | didn’t think | would get along so well with you in our first date.”
Roaxana thought she would make him angry by going late to the date. But the opposite happened. He wasn’t irritated with that fact. Instead, he found her interesting.
“We will marry when you feel the time is right. | won’t rush it. You know that our families want us to marry within these two months,” Isaac informed her.
“Two months?” Roaxana was astonished to learn that since she had no idea about it.
“Yes. But I'll handle it. We don’t need to rush it. Let's know each other more,” Isaac affirmed with a gentle smile across his lips. Roaxana didn’t know what to say at that moment. She wanted to refuse to date him. further, but she felt her parents would be angry. Perhaps, she would plan with Ryan
how to get away from the marriage.
