After I made sure on making her believe that I have fallen asleep, I slowly got up and secretly followed. Judging by her actions, she seems to noticed that she's been followed but just doesn't care or is it becaase she drank too much.
God, wherever this tunnel is leading me, it must be a secret lair, and these stairs seemed to be endless. It is very scary the fact it's very dark on the way.
When it seemed to came to an end, I saw a hallway. A hallway that leads to a bunch of expensive-looking computers. I look to my right and I see weapons. There are needles, daggers, bottles, and etc. To my right, I see armors, vests, and a bunch of guns.
It made me think that that person who adopted me is a criminal or something.
In front of me is a lady who saved me from that hell who is probably-be raging in anger due to what I just found out.
"You shouldn't be here." Her tone reminds me of the tone of those people back in the orphanage. It's as cold as an ice that gives me chills in my entire body.
I don't know why but I seemed to lose my voice. The only source of mine that I could use to ask her questions, but I lost it.
I look at her from head-to-toe and she doesn't look like that beautiful lady who saved me and became my mother. The Lady who just came home is a.. criminal.
Could it be... Samuel is also a criminal? Like her?
"Wh-What i-is th-this p-place...?" I couldn't even from the right words I should be forming,
"The place where you should not be here." There it is again. The voice that I dislike the most. Cold.
I don't know why, but I don't seemed to know who she really is. This sight of her, it seems new to me.
In front of me isn't the lady who saved me from that hell but a lady whom I don't know. Is she a killer? Does she always come here every time she goes to work? Am I going to be witnessing an actual crime here?
"A-Are you a criminal...?" I found my normal voice again.
"What do you think?" She asks as if what I just found out isn't a big deal. "Look, this is no big deal and I am supposed to tell you tomorrow but then you seemed find out on your own." She said casually.
"Wh-What are you... No, who are you?"
"Just me or me and my family?"
"You and your family." I am still nervous but I have to keep my cool.
"Well, for starters, I am the Duke's only daughter and sister. My older brother, Samuel, was a criminal and he is in his redemption." She started as I just listen to her. "He killed our Father after years of joining a criminal Organization. Of course, I was mad but I was the only one of the people ho knew the reason why he turned out to be like that."
"Who were the others and why did he turned out to be like that?"
She smiled at me as she turned to me. "My cousin Jade, Samuel and I were the ones who knew that he was a psychopath. He would kill someone if that someone gets into his nerves, and he will not show any mercy." I got scared of her statements.
Could it be he wants to kill me every time I make fun of him?
"No, Yasmin. You would not and will never hurt you. Not because you are my daughter but he cares about you. He actually cares about you and I can see just by observing on how he treated you earlier, he would do everything what it takes to protect you. Specially your innocence."
"My innocence?"
"Yes. He will never let you see and experience such things, specially what had happened to you."
"I still don't understand why he killed you Father." I said as tears gathered in my eyes.
"Because he hated him for leaving his mother for our mother, Yasmin. That's why."
"But it doesn't me he have to kill his own father..." I pro as tears finally fell from my eyes.
I just couldn't believe it. Why would he do such thing. I didn't even know who killed my father that day and I couldn't even do anything to save my own mother because I was defenseless. I was just a kid that time.
"I know. I asked him the same question as you, but as times passed I finally understood him. My Father may not been a Father to us ever since our Mother died due to her illness. " She defended him. "The day Gerald, the current Duke, was born, the whole Kingdom celebrated, but the next day it was field of mourning. Do you know why?"
"Because mother died."
"Yes. My Mother sacrificed herself for him. Instead of him being the cold body, Mother took it, in exchange he suffered the consequences of killing her. I know for myself that he wouldn't do that. My guess was that it already was in the family, and the fact she is one of the most known and important person in the Kingdom even before she became a the Duchess. She should only have three children with husband but due to her husband's affair..." She suddenly stopped looking down at the waxed floor.
"Mama, I didn't know you have been through so much..."
"Even my younger brothers doesn't know my pain. The pain I have been carrying as the oldest when the eldest should have done instead of playing a puppeteer." Her voice has its anger and hatred in it no matter how much she hides it.
I couldn't say or ask any thing more to her statement. It's too painful to see her like this, and just the way she's telling me all of it, it almost she was about to burst into tears anytime soon.
Without any hesitation, I walk towards her and hug her, and I can tell that she let her guard down.
How I wish I could still hug my real mother like this, it would have been nice, but the universe doesn't seem to let me. So, I am hugging this lady whom I am going to be my mama for the rest of my life.
For a blink of an eye, we're in her office where I came in to follow her. I don't know how it happened but I think it's kinda cool.
"You must have a lot of questions, right now."
"Mama, if you are not comfortable of tell me everything, it's alright. I wo-"
"No, if you are not comfortable, I will not force you to." I frown at her statement. "Do you want to know more about you dad? I mean, your real dad?"
Her question caught me off guard. Does she know my dad? How did she know him and for how long?
"Mama, please spill the tea! Please!" I stated and it made her laugh a little.
For another blink of an eyes again, I am suddenly in my room in my bed.
"I will tell you everything I know about your Father, I promise." She said then kisses me on the forehead then made her way to the door. "And this time, go to sleep. It is bad for your baby if you stay up long." She reminded then exits.
Right, I really forgot that I was pregnant, didn't I? I thought in shame.
A/N:
Happy New Year, everyone! I wish for good health for all of you, and I do apologize for posting so late. He-he. But at least it's only 12:56, right?
