(gulped)
Dr. William Verain (fl father)

Everyone was looking at Trace Grimwick
Trace Grimwick
Dr. Verain, I want you to make your daughter marry the man I say.
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
(eyes widened)
Alya Verain (fl mother)
(eyes widened)
Zack Verain (fl brother)
Oh hello Mr. Whatever, are you in your senses?
Zack Verain (fl brother)
Do you think my sister's life is a joke? Do you?
Zack Verain (fl brother)
She will be the one who will decide whom she will marry!! And if not her, it will be father who will decide it and of course, with her acceptance. We don't need some random OUTSIDERS to take decisions in our life🥱
Zack Verain (fl brother)
And papa... (turning to his father) why aren't you saying anything?
Trace Grimwick
(chuckle) Looks like you haven't told anything to your kids.
Trace Grimwick
My dear Zachie.... your papa won't say anything now, he can't... because (voice turned cold) HE KILLED MY WIFE!!!
Everyone flinched at the last sentence.
Trace Grimwick
Be ready for the marriage. The groom and party will come and meet you here in two days❄️
Trace Grimwick
(gets up and about to leave)
Zayra Verain (fl)
Who is the groom? (looking blankly at Trace)
Trace Grimwick
ALEX RIVEN!!
After taking a glance at Mr. And Mrs. Verain, Trace left.
There was a moment of silence
Finally Zack decided to break it.
Zack Verain (fl brother)
Papa, what was all these about?
Zack Verain (fl brother)
You owe us an explanation
Zayra Verain (fl)
(looked at her father)
Alya Verain (fl mother)
It's all because of me... (looking down with teary eyes)
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
(sigh)
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
Come and sit here I'll explain everything (sits on the sofa)
Zack and Zayra came and sat facing their father.
Alya came and stood beside him.
William gestured her to sit.
She sat on another sofa without looking up.
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
It happened when you both were 6 and 4 years old.
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
I had a surgery. The patient was Mr.Grimwick's wife. She had severe injuries from an accident. It was the second surgery led by me.
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
Your mother and I was having a fight. Just some moments before the surgery, your mom called me and said she was going home. It was a serious fight which had started some days ago. So at this sudden decision I panicked. The thought of losing you two were running through my mind.
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
I wasn't in my senses and the surgery failed😔
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
As it was a complicated surgery and the situation of the patient was also not so stable, it was treated as a medical failure. So I was not arrested or anything.
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
But I felt guilty, and that guilt increased day by day. So I thought I will tell Mr.Grimwick everything. So one day I went to see Mr.Grimwick.
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
Before I even say anything, he shouted at me. He said he will take his revenge for killing his wife, for making his son motherless. I couldn't say anything. I just went there to confess. There was nothing that I could tell it was an accident.
Dr. William Verain (fl father)
From that day on I have always been keeping you safe. I know he will come back. But years passed and he wasn't even coming in my life. I had told everything to your mother. Slowly we thought everything was becoming calm until now...
Zack Verain (fl brother)
So this is his revenge?
Zayra Verain (fl)
I'll do it father.
The three of them looked at her...
Zayra Verain (fl)
Even if it was unintentional, it happened and he suffered a big loss. He just asked for a marriage. He could have done terrible things to take his revenge on us. But still he just said this.
Zayra Verain (fl)
I know he is asking for my life, but if it's what he wants I'm ready to give it for you.
Zayra Verain (fl)
But please mom, papa please don't stand infront of us with your head lowered. It hurts to see you guys like this.
Zayra Verain (fl)
I know it was an accident. You guys won't think about hurting a soul even in your dreams, leave alone taking someone's life.
