Chapter 61- Confrontation. Part 1.

The argument had turned more petty than progressive. I walked around our shared room almost in a spiral motion. I was anxious, distressed, and frustrated all at the same time. My mind was clouded with too many worries to produce a single thought worthy of quality. 

There was Serena's coma who had changed the way I processed things.

There was the imposter out there prepared to expose my identity.

And there was a curse growing inside me.

I took a deep breath and cleared my mind, I walked over to a crowded side table with various irrelevant items and grabbed the jar of water poured the water into a glass, and took a few sips.

Water was often the least of my worries but my health had become my first priority. 

I needed help.

"I don't know what to do, Tom!" I wailed as we chatted through his given earrings. I had spent so long wearing them, that I had practically forgotten their use. 

"What you created was a useless argument Emerlyn," Tom responded. "Imagine, if someone told you, your father was a brutal man because a house elf had told you so, no one would believe that."

"Then what do I do...to make him despise Lucius?"

It was now I realized, just how vicious my plan really was. 

"You show instead of tell," Tom instructed. "Expose Lucius, by making him perform a horrible act in front of Draco." 

I'd have to stay at the Malfoy Manor for a while for this to take place.

"Make sure you don't act too quickly, Draco will go into a frenzy, into shock for a bit. Let him grieve and then plan your next move."

I didn't the idea of imagining Draco hurt. Why did he have to be Lucius's son?

JUNE 5.

No one had bothered apologizing. 

These two weeks had been dealt with the silent treatment, it was rare of Draco to do this but whenever he did it was for long. 

I didn't try either.

Perhaps, I was too fearful of the outcome or way too mentally exhausted. Maybe a combination of both. In another week or so, I would be 1 month pregnant.

Yet, I had no intention of confessing to Draco.

I looked at the full-body mirror. There were no obvious signs of pregnancy--at least yet. Today was Draco's birthday, and a party was hosted for this occasion.

I wasn't completely dreading it, but somewhat impatiently waiting for my special guest. Lucius.

There stood my reflection in front of the elegant mirror, I had a navy blue dress on with a part of my chest exposed and around my throat a prominent feature of the outfit and a shining silver necklace. 

My hair was pointing down and my makeup was light like usual. I walked towards the jewelry box and viewed the necklace that was given by Narcissa. I made a mental note to wear it after the party was over.

I didn't know what it was about, I had only recently come to know that this necklace had belonged to me but the attachment with it had felt as though it was from decades ago.
