"Because the man you've been calling Daniel…"
He paused.
"…is actually Damon Hale."
The room seemed to stop.
Aria stared at the man in front of her.
"No."
Damon's face hardened.
Damian continued.
"Daniel Hale was the loyal one."
"He worked for your father."
"He protected Jack and Sophia."
"He tried to warn them about me."
Aria's fingers tightened around the photograph.
"And Damon?"
Damian looked at the man beside her.
"Damon was the opposite."
His voice became colder.
"He wanted power."
Damon finally spoke.
"You're telling her half the truth."
Damian's eyes narrowed.
"Then tell her the rest."
Damon looked at Aria.
"I was never supposed to inherit anything."
His voice was calm.
"My brother Daniel was."
Aria stared at him.
"So you killed him?" She asked.
Damon said nothing.
That silence was answer enough.
Aria's face hardened.
"You killed your own twin."
Damon's expression changed.
"I didn't have a choice."
"You always have a choice."Aria frowned.
