Bella’s POV
I was staring at the couple that was standing in front of me in confusion. Not only me but also Xavier. On the other hand, the couple was looking at me with shock faces.
“Y-You’re, you’re..” Xavier’s mum asked no one in particular, while pointing at me. “Hi” I waved awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Xavier spoke up. “Love meet my parents, Raffaele and Aurora Romano. Father, Mother, meet my mate, Bella knight.” As soon as my name left Xavier’s lips both of them gasped.
I did not understand what was going on. “Dear, if you don’t mind may I know your parents name?” Xavier’s father asked me. I nodded my head.
“Diego and Kiara knight.” I said as with confusion. When they both heard that, they visibly stiffened. “Oh dear, you have no idea how long we have been searching for you.” Xavier’s mum said as she came and hugged me.
I looked at Xavier with confusion as he looked back at me with the same confusion expression. “Mother, Father what is going on?” Xavier asked them.
“Come and sit down with both of you. We will explain.” Xavier’s father said. Xavier’s mum let go of and went to stand beside her husband.
Xavier nodded his head as he guided me towards the couch. Xavier’s parents sat beside ours.
We stared at each other as I felt the tension build in the room. “So do you want to tell me what is going on?” Xavier asked as he raised his eyebrows at them.
Both of them sighed. “Ok. I know this is not gonna be easy for you both, but you guys should be strong ok?” Xavier’s father asked. We both just nodded our heads.
“Ok. Son, do you remember about 9 years ago you have lost you memories that happen for 6 months before and we told you fell down the stairs and had hit your head?” he asked wanting know if Xavier was following.
Xavier nodded his head. “Well don’t get mad, but that is not what actually happened.” Xavier’s father told and I felt Xavier tense. I gave his hands a squeeze to calm him down.
“You see, we know Bella’s parents 5 months before the incident. Bella’s Dad and I were business partners. Soon we were friends so were Aurora and Kiara.
On that day of the incident, we were driving back from the city and back home. Bella was home with a babysitter since she was not feeling well while the five of us were in the car.
We were chatting happily while you were sleeping In Kiara’s lap. She was very fond of you. Both Kiara and Diego were. But unexpectedly out of nowhere, a lorry came.
Both Aurora and I were sitting in the front and hence we flew out of the vehicle. But Both Kiara and Diego were stuck. Aurora was unconscious while I was unable to move as my legs stuck in between two rocks.
Kiara, Diego and you were stuck in the car. After struggling, Diego managed to get out. When he was about to help Kiara, she insisted on saving Xavier who was unconscious.
After helping Xavier and putting him to safety, Diego went to help Kiara. But unexpectedly…” Xavier’s dad trailed and consoled his wife who was sobbing.
“The car exploded and both Bella’s Dad and Mum died. After that we tried to search for Bella but she was gone. We are so sorry.” Xavier’s dad said finish and both had their heads down.
I did not know how to react. I never knew what had happened to my parents. All I knew they were in an accident. Now that I knew what happened, I did not know what to say or do.
As I turned around to see Xavier, I got startled. His eyes were dark. They held anger, no rage, disappointment, betrayal, sadness, and ashamed. His hands were no more in mine.
Soon, he took off in his inhuman speed up the stairs. I was shocked. But I understand he needed time. As I turned around to look at Xavier’s parents, they looked at me with sadness.
“We are so sorry. We tried to search for you but up to no vain. We are really sorry. But we are always grateful to your parents. If not for them we would not have our son today.” they said sincerely.
I nodded my head at them understandingly. They knew I needed time alone. So they left me alone to collect my thoughts.
I did not know what to think. But I know one thing for sure. My parents were Heroes. I am sad they are not here with me. But even during their death they saved someone. And I am proud of them.
Suddenly I heard noises of something crashing. I got startled by it. Something in me knew it was Xavier. I just realised he also must be upset by this news. He needs me as much as I need him now.
I climbed up the stairs and walked into the dark hallway. I am not sure where he was until I heard another crashing sound. It was coming from the last door of the hallway. I walked slowly and gently.
I did not want to make any noise. Soon I was in front of the door. I am not sure what to expect from the other side of the door.
But I know that he would never hurt me. With that confidence, I pushed open the door. Once I opened the door, I gasped at the sight in front of me.
