I turn around and never dared to look back at aunt Natalia.
Something inside me is constantly telling me that it was never her sympathy. It was her connection. Connection with me.

But I can't do anything. If she really loved me then all these years she wouldn't have hidden the truth from.

Lies. Lies and lies.
She lied plenty.

If she wanted then she would have let me out of the mansion. She didn't.

If she really loved me, then she would have told me that Jason isn't my real father. She could have told me the truth about my mother's death.

She lied. I lost faith in her.

"Hey Ronald." I say, entering my mother's house. Ronald sits on one of the sofas. He gives me a smile.
"Hello Ms. Lilith, I sorry but I have a habit of asking you, what brings you here?"

"I'm moving in."
And he seems pretty okay with it.

"Ahh! What a fortune of mine. Give me your luggage. I will keep it in your mother's room."

He takes my bag and goes to my mother's room to keep it. I go and sit on the sofa.
After a few minutes, Ronald walks in.

"So what actually made you move in?"
"You have a problem?"
"No. Not at all. Just asking."
"Long story."
"Open ears."

I then tell him the whole story. What had happened in the past few days and that I got kicked out of the house and that Elliot was almost dead. Because of me.

"Well.. I will only say that your cousin's accident wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself." Said Ronald.

"How can I not blame myself?" I asked in confusion.
"Get over it. Because your father thinks that you did it on purpose. Which means your cousin will also think the same. He will start to hate you."

He is right.
Elliot will be brainwashed.
There are strong reasons. He got everything. Everything I was supposed to get. These thoughts will force him to believe that I tried to kill him.

"Think about it." Said Ronald. Then he vanished somewhere and I am left alone in the room. Tangled thoughts in my head.

I came to know a lot of secrets in the past few days. My mom sucided, Jason isn't my dad. I had a brother who died before coming into this world.

Plenty of problems.

But one thing happened that was good.

I'm free. Completely free now.

Somewhere inside me, I will always be in dept of Elliot. Elliot, who set me free.
Ronald's right. I didn't push Elliot intentionally. I am not guilty. Maybe a little. But not completely. I loved Elliot. He was the only one I could trust. I can't even think about hurting him.

But now there is only one thing inside my head, no more hiding.

Hey guys! My exams are still going on but I'll try my best to update whenever I get a break.
Anyways, please VOTE and COMMENT.
