Meanwhile, Aylin stood in front of her manor as she stared at the locked door. All the memories from two nights ago came back to her strongly. Yet, this time, she did not tremble in fear. She was prepared to deal with the man who had destroyed her family.
Aylin had hardened her heart, and since she did not know who the man was, she had not hired any more guards to protect the manor. Moreover, she did not even need any guards now for all her family was gone and she was the only one left.
Elena and Gregory had tried to persuade her to stay with them at least for a few days. But Aylin had rejected them sternly, not giving in even when Gregory had pleaded with her. Even his threatens had not worked on her.
She had to deal with the issue herself and running away from reality would not help her in any way. She had to face the man head on.
Aylin's stern eyes looked around the place and when she did not find anything unusual, she climbed the stairs that led to the door. Her hands shivered when she held the lock but a strong determination flashed through her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and entered the manor.
Unlike two days ago, Aylin did not detect any smell of blood and she sighed in relief. Though she had been accustomed to blood and death since the time she had joined the royal army, the smell of death in the air when her family had been viciously murdered was registered in her mind and imprinted on her soul. She could not forget it even if she wanted to.
Aylin walked inside and instead of trembling in fright as she had assumed, she was oddly calm which surprised her. She reached the spot where she had found her brother dead. The area was clean, devoid of any blood. Similarly, even the room where her sister and aunt had been murdered had been cleaned of blood.
Aylin walked around the manor, reliving the memories she had shared with her family. She recalled the first day when she had entered the manor. Her parents were still alive and her siblings were yet to be born. Her father had built this manor using his own abilities and her family had been staying here since then.
Even when her father had been killed in a war and her mother had died of an illness immediately after, Aylin and her family had not moved away. Instead, they stayed strong, facing all the difficulties bravely. However, this time, she had to face her difficulties alone. Even Azimir was not with her.
Just the thought of the man who had nothing but affection towards her even when she had pushed him away made her teary. But she stopped herself from crying, forcing all her tears away.
'I forced him away from me myself. I cannot bo back on my decision. It is best that he stays away from me lest he should get implicated and his life be in danger.' She thought and wiped the lone tear that had escaped her eyelids. His safety was her priority along with avenging her dear one's deaths. There was no way she would get distracted and deviate from her motive.
Aylin returned to the man hall. There was no sound in the manor and she felt lonely all of a sudden. Siena's laughter and Zeev's voice echoed through the manor. Aunt Martha's scolding filled the place just like how it had always been.
However, the next instant, the voices vanished and the manor was plunged into an uncomfortable silence. Aylin could hear her own heartbeat and she started to feel apprehensive of everything around her. Yet, she did not give in and walked towards the portrait on the wall. She smiled faintly on seeing her family members who were smiling brightly as they posed for the painting.
Aylin caressed the picture and a blissful smile made its way on her face. She started with Siena who was lying quietly in her mother's arms. She had only been an infant and her curious eyes kept darting around as she tried to comprehend what was happening.
The skilled painter had captured her expressions quite well and Aylin let out a muffled laugh. She then stared at her brother, who even at that age stood expressionless. But his eyes were gentle and even through the painting, Aylin could sense his love for his family.
Aylin's gaze then fell on her mother, who had been the most beautiful woman in her eyes. She had always donned a smile on her face. Nothing could faze her and she had been the bravest woman Aylin had ever known until her father's death shattered her mother completely. It was then that she stopped smiling forever and until her death, Aylin her never her mother's gentle smile which she loved the most in the world.
'Father,' Aylin eyed her father, the man who had encouraged her to pursue her wishes, despite what society thought about it. He had always motivated and influenced her to follow her heart. Her father had been her trust and with him gone, her trust in the world had broken completely. He had been her pillar of support and with his death, the pillar had crumbled.
Aylin had, however, managed to proceed with her life for she still had her siblings and aunt. But now, she was wrecked. She did not even have any reason to live, other than to avenge her family and protect Azimir from the sinister man. Her happiness was destroyed, her life was now without any spark and she had pushed the only ray of hope, Azimir out of her life.
Aylin carefully removed the portrait from the wall. This was the only painting she had when her entire had been together. So, she cherished it more than her life.
She dragged her exhausted body towards the couch and lay down on it as she hugged the painting. Unknowingly, tears started to gush out and this time, she could not stop them even if she wanted to. They kept flowing out as waves and waves of misery hit her, pulling her into the tide of painful memories.
Eventually, exhaustion took a toll on her body and Aylin fell asleep with the painting in her embrace.
