(Delvin's POV)Mum looked from Aliana to me, clearly confused about what we were talking about."What if who tries something?" she asked.I opened my mouth, trying to say something else because I didn't want to tell her yet.But Aliana wasn't having it."Mrs. Barrington, please stop him," Aliana pleaded. "He's putting his life at risk."Mum frowned even more, completely confused."What's going on?" she asked.I let out a quiet sigh and rubbed my forehead, already feeling a headache coming on."His half-brother, Simon, is behind everything," Aliana blurted out.She was probably tired of keeping it a secret and afraid that if this dragged on any longer, Simon might try to hurt me again."Delvin has known about his evil intentions for a while now. And now he's planning to confront him... alone," she said, stressing the word alone to make sure Mum understood exactly how dangerous it was.Mum instantly turned to me, disbelief flashing across her face.I swallowed hard. I was cornered now.
