Chapter 90: Chapter 90

3 years...

Three years have passed since Storm admitted his sister to rehab, in the first year he can say that it was very difficult for him especially seeing Kiara in that condition and as time went on it got worse, he thought she would lose her mind and be totally insane, but the good thing is that Zam was there and she did her best to help Kiara. Right now Storm is happy because he can see that her sister's condition is improving little by little.

Storm remembered the day she found out what happened to her sister that caused her to have trauma, she almost blamed himself for what happened, he felt that he couldn't protect her. Storm did everything to talk to the police who helped his sister and that's when he found out that they were already in jail that same day. But he feels that it's still not enough, he doesn't know but it seems like something is still missing.

Flashback...

Storm was with Chase that day to visit Kiara, even at a young age his nephew is smart and very mature when he talks and thinks, he understands things easily and he also knows what happened to his mother.

As they approached the room where Kiara was, Zam came out just in time and when she saw them she quickly approached them.

"How is she?" Storm asked.

She suddenly felt nervous when she saw the sadness on Zam's face. "It's good that you're here, I was going to call you. You need to talk to your sister, Storm. She wants to talk to you. I already know what happened to her,"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"She was harassed Storm, she was almost raped,"

When I heard what she said, I stood firm in my position, my whole system did not want to accept what I heard. Zam seemed to notice that so he took Chase from me first and then left so the two could talk properly. Storm immediately entered his sister's room. Before, Kiara was tied up because she is out of control, but now she is free.

"Kiara," he got his sister's attention and she immediately looked at him.

"Brother, it's been a while since you came to visit me. Why only now? Zam has already removed the ropes from my hands and feet, she said if I always behave I will get better." she told Storm so the young man smiled.

"Good to hear that, get well soon because Chase misses you and wants to be with you," I said.

"Thank you, Brother, because you chose to put me in this place. I can't hurt anyone else because I can't control myself. I don't want to hurt others, especially you and my son,"

Storm smiled. "That thing wasn't easy for me, at first I didn't want to agree because I couldn't bear to see you like that, but I thought that you need it more and they can take better care of you here because that's their job," Storm pulled the chair next to his sister before sitting in it. "K-Kiara, please be honest with me. What happened to you?"

He saw his sister quickly look away. "I... I was harassed, brother,"

"H-how? How did that happen?" the young man asked almost in disbelief.

"T-that day, I went to Nigel to talk to him about the child but.. he refused to listen. I-I wasn't myself when I left his condo. I-I didn't know where I was going. I was badly hurt, while I was walking m-there were men, I don't know them. They almost raped me, but the police came and rescued me." She kept her head down while saying that I could feel her pain.

"Did that happen the night I called you? You came home late and said we could talk tomorrow because you were tired and sleepy. W-why? Why didn't you tell me?" Little by little, tears started to fall from Storm's eyes while saying those words. He could not accept what happened to his only sister.

Kiara looked at him. "I-I don't know brother, I can't tell you. I-I'm still scared of that time, everything is still fresh in my memory, I-I can still feel their every touch on me. I don't want to see you hurt when you find out,"

"That's bullshit Kiara!" The young man couldn't stop shouting out of anger. "You need someone to lean on that day, but why did you hide it from me? I wish I could have helped you, I wish it wouldn't have reached the point where you are in this lonely place! If only you had told me earlier, I wish I could have treated you right away,"

Kiara quickly grabbed her brother's furious hand which was shaking. This is one of the reasons why she doesn't want to tell what happened to her because she knows it will hurt her brother a lot. "I-I'm sorry brother I was scared, I feel like I'm dirty from that day. Every time I close my eyes I see their faces but I fight it. A- I don't want to take you to the dark world where I am, because you've been out there for a long time and I don't want to be pulled back. Y-you already suffered a lot and I can't take it anymore when I see you hurt and crying again. I know how you break down brother since we left and also after what happened to me. You didn't even show it to me but I hear it every time you cry. And.. and it hurts, because.. know if I'm the reason for it. And I know you will be hurt even more when you find out what happened to me, I don't want you to be ruined again,"

"Don't you trust me?" Storm asked his sister weakly.

She shook her head quickly. "You know I trust you so much, brother,"

"I-if you trust me you won't hide what happened to you. I could have helped you overcome this shit. B-but you choose to keep it. You took everything for yourself that we can share. I am your brother and you are my responsibility. I should protect you at all costs but... I f-failed." Storm's face was wet with tears at that time. He blames himself because for him he was unable to protect his sister.

Kiara immediately got off the bed and came over. "Y-you didn't bother, you never failed me at all. I'm sorry if I keep these things to you but... please understand me. M-except for what I can't say yet I just want to protect you. I don't want you to doubt yourself, I don't want you to question your worth, and most of all I don't want you to think that you are a failure, that you failed to be my brother,"

"Y-you are my inspiration brother, I want to face this, I want to help myself not always depend on you. I-I want to be brave and strong like you. With all your experiences in life, I want you to be proud of me because I overcame this. Because I'm so proud of you. You are my protector, my first love, and my hero. And if you think that you are a failure then you're wrong because for me you're the best person I ever had in my life and no one can replace that. You are the reason why I wanted to fight my own battle because I'm an Alcantara." She said,
