Adam POV
"Daniel" Elena and Thomas choked their words seeing their son return after long time. It's been almost two years they saw their eldest son.
"Mom, dad" he greeted casually. Seeing their son's indifferent behavior they felt their hearts contract with agony. Didn't he miss his parents at all…
Despite of overwhelming feeling of reunion he decided to act strong and cold. He came back as soon as Raymond patched up with Jean.
As Vanessa will be in her disturbed and frustrated state this might be the perfect time for him to know her secrets and weaknesses.
"You are already the vice CEO of our company and we are just waiting for you to return back" Thomas said to his son looking at him lovingly.
He is known as cold and haughty person to the outsider but he is a normal father who loves his children immensely.
"Yes, dad. I though of building my own career without your influence and the name I am bearing. So I left the country for one and half year. I learned many things and I think now I am capable of running a company"
"So, it is not Jean." Elena asked curiously
Daniel laughed ridiculed by his mother's question. "What.. Jean. It is nothing to do with my sister. In fact she cleared my head by helping me out to solve the disdain I felt then."
"If it isn't for her then I might have stayed useless just by relying on you both. Thanks to her" Daniel face glowed with happiness while saying about Jean.
"Then.. Then why did she tolerate my taunting when I blamed her for your disappearance" Elena choked thinking how harsh she had once been on her niece.
"I said not to say this to anyone. She kept it as secret that is why...." he shrugged as he said it.
This is half truth. She indeed made him to realize that day how independent one could be…..seeing her with Scott and how she built her own company he felt shame for his impotence.
He was in dilemma at that time about the course he has to take. Then seeing his sister he realized it would be good if he live his own life for some days. Given with what he listened that night from Vanessa about the threat his sister posses he decided to help her and at same time he has also built his own life.
She helped him to make his life worthy and now he have to help his sister in making her life even more worthy by take revenge for her parents death.
"Poor girl. She is always innocent" Elena choked her words as she covered her mouth to hide her sobs.
"Yes mom, she is never double faced like Cassandra. Jean didn't seduce Raymond and she was not the reason for my disappearance. But you people always blamed her"
Daniel decided to do his part of helping. Their grandparents had reunited with Jean and now making his mother reunite with her will be the best thing to stabilize her position in company as well as family.
"She suffered a lot mom. You know that but still you will be blaming her. Cassandra almost tried to kill Jean yet you are trying to protect her"
"Jean was not the driver of lorry that killed your brother, no right, then how could you be so irrational towards her and blame her. She lost more than you all people that day." Daniel shouted emotionally and his voice is so fierce that others didn't dare to argue with him.
"If you feel Jean has to be punished like this then how should Cassandra be punished for acting this viciously. But still you are supporting her because you love your brother and couldn't oppose him."
He saw his sobbing mother. If he don't act out of his impulse he could never make his mother realize her mistakes. .
"If your big brother was still alive and Jean would have done same as Cassandra. What will you do mother, same as what you are doing now, right. What does it mean mom, Jean will only belongs to family if her parents were alive otherwise no. Is this how you treat a relationship" Daniel roared looking coldly at his sobbing mother.
"Jean has been waiting and waiting for your forgiveness. It is now or never, you don't know how much she values every relation. How pure her heart had once been…"
"Your selfish and arrogance had killed her soft and innocent part. It is you who made her like this and you will suffer. I am warning all of you-" he was glaring at all the people in the room while pointing his finger to them as if he is blaming them when hid enraged father stopped him from further talking..
"Enough, Daniel. Watch your words" Thomas yelled at his son.
"No, dad wait let finish...I am warning all of you how dangerous she is, how dangerous and powerful her husband and companion's are. I think you already tasted how it feels and this is just a tip of iceberg of how capable they are… be careful" Daniel finished omitting all his grief and emotions he walled up in his heart.
All are shocked by his menacing and brutal tone. They could comprehend how serious he is....
"Danny, I want to meet Jean and apologize to her. I know that I did terrible things knowingly as well as unknowingly but will she forgive me…" Elena sobbed clutching her son's sleeves… .she looked terrible.
Elena has been holding this for a while and everytime she feels an urge to apologize to her niece the only thing that use to stop her is her son's disappearance....
"Mom, if your intentions are good and deep from your heart and if you really meant it then she will happily keep you in her heart. Believe me she still crave for the love she lost from your side… ." Daniel gently embraced his mother and felt happy for his achievement.
But for now he will not include his father till he makes sure that he can be trusted…
"Grandson, we will also come to see her. Its been long.." Elders hummed happily seeing that their family getting reunited. But when Jean is coming back into their life's their other granddaughter is leaving them…it is still painful for their poor hearts to handle.
But whatever Cassandra did is unforgivable and she has to be punished for her deeds. It is inevitable….
Vanessa clenched her fists seeing the situation that is evolving. Jean's position is getting stabilized where her condition is getting critical day by day…
There will be a chance that her husband might also shift the sides if he will get to know her deeds against his niece...what if Jean tries to change him when she becomes vice CEO.
THIS made her unsettled and uneasy…she has to take the action fast otherwise there would be a chance that the tables would be turned against her..
