Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 40: Missing Piece of The Puzzle

"It's okay," he said with assurance as he caressed my head, calming me down. "You're already safe, okay? Don't cry too much. But if you really want to, drink water first." Even though I was crying, I couldn't help but smile at what he said. He was the same guy four years ago-A brother willing to protect his little gem from the cruelness of the world. In fact, he really is my brother.

"Mason..."

I pulled away from the hug and stared at him. His eyes were full of love and care-like this the first time he came to the student council to tell me to stay away from Ash.

I was blinded by my annoyance back then. I even dragged Haze and Mason into my anger at Ash.

I never noticed that Mason was one of the missing pieces in my puzzle.

"Is there a problem? Did my father do something to you? Did he say anything bad?" He messed up his hair in frustration. "Sorry I was late. If Evangeline hadn't noticed..."

He shouldn't blame himself, though. It was his father who took me, not him.

"Mason... My brother..." was all I could say as I held his hand. "Sorry..." I bit my lower lip to stop myself from sobbing.

I promised that someday I would find him, but I couldn't do that because I didn't remember him. It even took four years for me to remember the painful past and him at the same time. "You... know?" There was a mix of surprise and joy in his voice. The same emotions were reflected in his eyes.

I nodded.

"You never told me before, but I accidentally overheard it." I smiled genuinely as I said that. "I also just understood why Evangeline was so kind and mean to me at the same time. I never thought she was also my sister. Did she know about it?"

"No. Evangeline's our cousin. She wasn't related to the Parker Clan."

"What?" My voice was a bit louder when I asked that, but I couldn't help myself. "I thought she was your sister too?"
