Myra nervously grabbed Victor's hand and entered through the grand entrance of 'Crimson Mansion'. Her heart suddenly sped up when a man came forward to greet the Gray family.

She secretly took a glance at triplets rolling their eyes and looking around. As soon they stepped inside, they all separated, leaving Myra with Victor and Tristan. Max was also somewhere off too but it was definitely not inside.

"William!" Tristan smiled and hugged the man.

Myra slightly hid behind Victor's legs when William's eyes accidentally made contact with her.

"Who is this little one?" William's voice surprisingly turned extremely gentle when he mentioned about Myra. Victor grabbed her small hand in his and pulled her forward.

"My daughter!" Tristan replied.

William gave him a confused look but then smiled.

"What's her name?" Another voice asked. Myra's eyes widened when she looked at this scary man.

His long hair was tied in a professional bun behind his head. Myra swallowed hard yet again when she looked at the collar of his suit, dangerous and daring tattoos were peeking out of it. She again tried to hid behind Victor but he didn't let her.

"It's Myra!" Victor replied for her.

"Vincent!" A woman's frantic voice yelled and Myra stared at her curiously from beside Victor. Mostly at her tummy because it was round and big.

She huffed standing closer to the scary-tattoo-sir but smiled in Tristan's direction.

"You must be Tristan and family. It's really nice to meet you." She greeted with a smile.

"My girlfriend, Annabella!" Vincent smiled and wrapped his hand around her waist.

"Vince! I need your help. Please come with me." She started dragging him with her, without even waiting for any response.

"I have told you thousand times Annabella! Don't run, it's not good for the baby." Myra faintly heard Vincent scolding her and they vanished in the crowd.

A smile crossed William's features when his wife Pearl approached them with Alracius, their 3 years old son clinging to her neck and crying silently and another boy- Damien- around Myra and triplets age, following them. Pearl greeted the Gray family with a smile while passing Alracius in William's arms.

"Why is my little champ crying?" William cooed at the little guy. Alracius sniffled and said.

"B-bcause Mummy and Daddy are mean." He sobbed.

William gave Pearl a confused look. Pearl started to explain the situation with a amused smile never leaving her lips.

"Well he demanded to see our wedding photo album for the first time when he found that we were married too same like Nora is getting today. Now he's crying because there is no photo of him there and we didn't invited him at our wedding." Tristan and William chuckled at the same time.

"Make yourself comfortable. I will meet you all later." William said one last time and skidded away with his crying son and wife. Damien gave a look to Myra and followed behind his parents.

Tristan went off somewhere to talk to some guests leaving Victor with Myra alone.

"Do you want something to drink, Myra?" Victor asked, finally giving her his whole attention. Myra shook her head politely.

Suddenly they were approached by two men.

"Well long time, no see Victor!" One of them smirked at him. Other one just yawned loudly and glanced down at Myra's face with a sleepy look.

"Hello Uncle Angel and Hades!" Victor smirked.

The sleepy dude rolled his eyes and the other one just laughed.

"We are not even that old from you Victor!" Angel defended themselves.

Hades eyes boredly roamed around the crowded hall and they light up immediately as soon as they fell on someone and without a word, he started walking away from them.

"Oh Hade-- Nevermind. Baby is here." Angel muttered to himself and soon they were joined by Damon and Lucifer.

"Come Vic! Let's have some drink!" Lucifer smirked and placed his hand over Victor's shoulder and then his gaze fell at Myra who was standing behind him and looking around.

"And who is this?" He asked with a typical amusement in his words. Damon followed his eyes to look at Myra who was staring at Lucifer with wide eyes. For some weird reason just by looking at her eyes, he remembered the first day how Nora was staring at them first day.

Why was everyone so scary here with dangerous paintings all over their skins? She thought to herself and continued staring at Lucifer's tattoos.

Damon stared at Myra with a frown etched on his face. The way she stared at them was familiar. So innocent and heart melting cute at the same time. It was looking like it could pierce their heart but in a good way.

Myra downcasted her gaze when suddenly it made contact with Damon's curious gaze.

"She's their sister Myra!" Angel introduced her.

"Are you bored sweetheart?" Damon asked.

Myra shrugged slightly while cowering behind Victor's legs.

"Why don't you play with other kids?" Damon suggested in a questioning tone.

"They won't like me." She whispered in a hushed tone making Damon and others heart melt.

"But you should atleast try asking them first?!" Lucifer smiled down at her.

Myra glanced around at the kids running around. She swallowed the non-existent rocks down her throat and silently shook her head.

"It's a long night, Myra! You can't just stand here like this all day. Can you please at least try? For me!" Victor sighed and crouched down in front of her. The familiar harshness in his voice faded away. It was soft and gentle. The Crimson brothers' just smiled watching them.

"Come with me sweetheart!" Angel extended his hand forward.

Hesitantly, Myra agreed and with a heavy heart, she released Victor's hand. She reluctantly grabbed Angel's hand.

He introduced her to some kids around her age and soon Myra was also running around with them.

William and Vincent were standing together and talking about some arrangements when suddenly their eyes fell on Myra who was giggling and laughing with the other children. Even Alracius was playing with her.

They just couldn't help a smile that unconsciously formed on their lips as they stared at the small girl.
