Chapter ?499 You Might Get Surprised

"Mom, seriously, what are you hiding from us? We know you lied about going for a business meeting when all of you just were in the middle of an ocean. It just doesn't make sense!" Tiana said with a strong headshake as she looked at her mother and Umilia sitting before her.

Sayana was silently watching everything from behind Tiana. She didn't expect Tiana to confront them the moment they returned back.

But she didn't stop Tiana since she also wanted to make sense of some things they did.

Taya inwardly sighed and didn't want to lie to Tiana. But she had just heard from Nyissa's mother that dark forces were working together to bring about a disaster in this world. If on the off chance, this comes to be true, then Tiana or Sayana's lives wouldn't be normal anymore.

She had personally seen the horrible experiments going on in one of their secret bases, and god knows what worse things she hadn't seen yet. She didn't want her daughter to be anywhere such things nor learn about them.

This was all new to her, and the best thing she could think for their sake was to let them lead normal lives for as long as possible. She knew how her life had been affected after learning about things no ordinary mortal should. Thus, she didn't want the same to happen to these two.

"We were on a yacht, Tia. And our phones were switched off since it was a very important meeting. Now, don't overthink about these silly things and study for the upcoming exams," Taya said as she tried to lead Tiana away while Umilia sighed before looking at her daughter.

"Mom! You can't just drag me away without answering all my questions!" Tiana protested though Taya kept on coaxing her as she led her away.

Sayana, who saw Taya lead Tiana away, suddenly grimaced as a voice echoed in her head, "She is hiding something, and you know it."

"Saya, are you alright?" Umilia asked in concern as she saw her daughter suddenly flinch.

Sayana was startled as she answered with an awkward smile, "I-I am alright. I just…feel a bit tired."

Sayana was confused and worried about this strange voice in her head and didn't want her mother to get worried as well.

She felt that she must be hallucinating after staying up almost every night and felt correcting her sleep schedule should make her feel okay.

But somewhere inside her mind, this voice felt too real to be simply a hallucination. This voice felt like it didn't belong to her, yet at the same time, it felt like it did.

"You are not sleeping well these days? Your face looks a bit pale…" Umilia said with a worried look as she cupped her face.

Sayana softly smiled as she held her mother's hands and said, "Don't worry about it, mummy. I will try to get more hours into my sleep."

Umilia sensed that there was nothing wrong with her body, making her feel relieved and thought that she was worried for nothing.

She then asked while looking at her eyes, "You usually don't ask where the Madam goes. So why did you track our phones this time? I am not angry at you, but I just want to know what made you impatient. Or did Tia pressure you?"

Umilia felt that Sayana did something that just seemed a bit out of her nature and felt like wanting to know the reason behind it.

Sayana lowered her face as she said with a guilty expression, "I am sorry, mummy…It wasn't Tia, but I also wanted to know where you were. It's just that…" Sayana felt hesitant, wondering if she should say it or not.

But finally, she gathered some courage as she continued, "...mummy and Aunt Taya isn't telling us what is really going on with Dorian. It has been almost two weeks, and we haven't heard anything from him. I…I also tracked his phone and found that his last location was behind some club; after that, nothing. It was like he disappeared off the face of the Earth suddenly. It just made me feel worried and made me wonder if you two were hiding some…bad news?"

Sayana was anxiously twisting her fingers behind her back since this was her biggest worry. She felt her mother and Taya might be trying to protect her and Tia from some bad news, though she prayed that it wasn't the case.

She didn't want anything bad to happen to Dorian, but she had noticed how her mother and Taya seemed slightly worried and anxious before they took the trip. She had an intuition that Dorian could be the reason why they seemed like that.

Umilia realized that Sayana was not simply having a crush on Viktor, but she very well might really be in love with him.

When Sayana revealed it to her first, Umilia thought it was only just an innocent crush of a young girl. But now she had to rethink her initial thoughts.

She didn't know how to deal with this, especially since Sayana was very smart and clever, even though she didn't show it.

Umilia already knew their flimsy excuses wouldn't convince Sayana or Tiana and hoped Viktor better have a good reason for being away so long. She didn't want to believe that he was away to enjoy his time with the Siren Queen, even though that was the only thing she knew.

Right when Sayana wanted to ask why her mother seemed to hesitate about something, a sharp ringing sound echoed through the entire mansion.

*TING!*

Umilia's eyebrows raised, and then she looked at Sayana with a smile, "Why don't you go and see who it is? You might get surprised."

Sayana's heart raced to hear her words, and she immediately ran toward the front door to see who it was.

The maids had already opened the door, and Taya and Tiana were already standing close to the door as well.

As the door fully opened, Sayana and Tiana forgot to breathe as they saw who it was.
