The Support

Chapter Twenty-Four

"Your father or should I say, our father and my mom had an affair before he wedded your mom."

"You're lying."

"You have a journal with you right? it was all in there."

Hestia just looks at her, trying to ransack her brain to say something.

"Cat got your tongue, young lady?" Chantria taunted again.

♧︎︎︎・・・・・・♧︎︎︎

"Hestia, are you okay?" Gemma asked for the nth time and thankfully she got the younger woman's attention.

"I-I'm sorry what did you say?" Hestia asked.

Gemma sighed when she saw her reaction after she talked to the contained woman in The Cellar. "Chantria is a master when it comes to getting in your mind, she knows what exactly to do to set you off, please don't let her get into your mind." She said.

"She's not...I already forgot half of what she said to me actually...I am just...shocked." Hestia admitted. "Whole my life I thought I was the only child of my father and it turns out I had a half-sister." She added.

The older woman smiled sadly at her and patted her shoulder. "Welcome to the real world young lady, this is the world outside of your prison." Gemma said.

"It is much better than the house."

Gemma hummed in response and all of a sudden an idea came into her mind.

"I think I know who can cheer you up."

Hestia looked at her with confusion on her face. "Who?"

Gemma smirked. "Follow me."

Jaypee walked back and forth as he started to think about who wanted him to be gone in the organization.

Because as far as he can remember, he didn't have a single member who was mad at him. He might be a violent person but he knows how to control it.

There are a few questions in his mind. Who, Why, and Why him.

He jumped slightly when he heard a sound that meant someone opened the locked door where he was.

"Hestia?" He asked.

Hestia's expression brightened and immediately ran toward him and hugged him.

Jaypee let out an 'oomph' sound when his body collided with Hestia as she hugged him.

"You're okay!" Hestia said and hugged him tighter.

The man let out a chuckle and looked at the other woman at the door, Gemma nodded at him before walking out of the room, giving them privacy.

"I am okay." Jaypee said and let out a sigh of relief.

So this is what Gwen is talking about how Hestia can calm someone by just being near. He thought.

Hestia looked at him and smiled but it immediately backfired when her lips quivered and tears came out from her eyes.

"Here...I'm here..." Jaypee cooed as he hugged her again.
