The Defiance novel

---- Chapter 30: Anyway, Who Is Alice? Sev's POV I know everything. About you and Seth. Her words rang into my head. The line went dead minutes ago and I still couldn't fully believe what I just heard. I was gripping the phone on my hand and stared into the space. My mind couldn't seem to handle the reality in ventured through after Alice said he knew everything about me and Seth. Endless questions formed in my head. I muttered a curse and weakly let myself sat on the bed behind me. "Fuck!

This is all fucked up" I let her go. I let Alice go and I was not allowed to have any contact or even see her as long as I live. That was the deal. The one I fully accepted for my own reasons , and those reason as too selfish but I wanted her safe. I wanted her far from all of these. I knew my father well. He would not stop until he got what he wanted and he wanted me back. What more, I... "Are you okay? We need to go ina moment", I looked ---- at him. It was Seth. Seth.

My twin brother whom I thought was dead. Whom "we" thought was dead. Here he was with me in this very room, alive. He closed the door and I watched him walked closer to where I was sitting. His hair was longer than mine and his skin got darker . One of his eyes was patched like a pirate captain. My eyes went down to his exposed arms covered in slash scars. Some of them were long and some may looked shorter but they were deep wounds.

"Tl be there in a minute", I told him and wiped my face with my hand then brushed my hair with my finger. I felt frustrated and hurt and confused. "Ts there a problem?" From the way he talks, I had a feeling he was not the brother I knew all along. Something in him had changed. He seemed dangerous, too. "Nothing", I watched his eyes turned suspicious. "By the way, who was the girl earlier?" I tried to control my emotions when he mentioned it.

I should not show him anything, he might see how affected I was because of Alice. I put my phone on my pants' pocket and stood in front of him. "No one", I replied leaving no traces of what Alice ---- meant to me. Walking passed him, I carefully strode to the door. "Are you sure? She seems to be attached to you", he added, still probing. Without looking back, I shrugged hoping he saw it so he would think it was really nothing . I put on an expressionless face hiding my hands into my pockets.

Seth forgot everything except me, my father and our family business . He forgot about Alice. It was one of the reasons why I decided to totally cut ties with Alice. With my brother being like this, he was clearly on my father's side. Ineeded to know the whole story here. What really happened to him? It was just a few days ago before coming here to see Alice when I learned about Seth being alive. My father totally got me there.

I thought he was bluffing but when I finally saw him in person, Icouldn't deny I anymore. But like I've said, things changed on him. It had this feeling that he was observing me all the time. My father was a vicious man and we were no exception for his cruelty. After a while, I heard my twin's footsteps behind me. It was faint but I could feel him nonetheless. "We have to leave now, come on. Father wants us to
