The Twin He Wanted

Chapter -28

May.POV.

I decided not to tell Alex about me knowing about our past because when he is ready he will tell me. I trust him and I know that when he is ready he will tell me and it is not that he is hiding something very secretive and even if he hiding it is jto something which is harmful to me. And truthfully I want it to stay like that only. I am happy there is one person who truly loves me and doesn't try to find my sister in me and can distinguish my sister's true face .

I am thankful to God for giving me such a lovely lover and I hope that in future our love remains like that only. After hugging each other like that for a while we went back to our work. I again turned off the speaker and just kept the monitor on to look ag Alex.

In the meantime I also got a call from unknown number. The friends I have I already have their numbers saved so the unknown number is of no use to me. And if they want to call them they can call Alex's number of it is urgent. I will only pick the calls which are from the numbers I have saved. Less people ,Less drama.

For the whole day we kept on doing our work . In between we had our lunch and little breaks for drinks and snacks. Around 6:00 pm we left the office as we had some extra work and we decided to finish it up as we did take few days off. And it is our responsibility aslo along with the employees to make things work and sometimes we can give some time off to our employees if we can do that because they will also do the same for us.

When we were about to leave the company I saw Vanessa and Mark Rivera , my parents to whom I used to admire and the parents who hated me and the parents who now don't mean anything to me. They were standing in front of their car which was being driven by the Driver who was familiar to me because he was also only of my hater.

Truthfully looking at them like this after a long time  doesn't bring any emotion to me . It is just nothing and I know that this is good sign that I have moved on from the lovelorn. When they saw me they both smiled at me and it is Frist time that I have seen that smiling at me which there was a time I on e wished.

Vanessa came forward and tried to hold my hand but I  evaded it  and stepped back and hid behind Alex who was willing to become a wall for me. Vanessa looked hurt as if I have done something bad to her and Mark looked like he wanted to beat someone. There was tension among us and Alex broke it off and said

"Shall we go somewhere and talk?"

And then we went to a diner where we ordered for a private room and ordered the employees over there to not to disturb us. They agreed . We all sat down with me and Alex sitting beside each other and Vanessa and Mark sitting next to each other in front of us. Vanessa looked like as if she will cry and Mark has his usual emotionless face on.

No one spoke for atleast five minutes and the Vanessa started

"May, we are sorry for neglecting you. We never meant to do that. It was just your sister Josephine whose health was not well so we took out that frustration on you. We love you and will always will. I don't know who filled your ears with hate towards us but you are our family and will always be . No one can deny that. Actually your grandparents never meant to hate you it is just that you look like your Grandfather's elder sister Jasmine. She was the one who built the our family's Empire and was the owner of the same. Your grandfather was not as capable as her so he always hated her. It was only after her accidental death that he became the owner of the empire she built. But after him taking over the business she bulit was not the same as he is not capable and the business started going downhill. When your father became the owner he stabilized it to its current level and with only Josephine's designs were we able to slowly rise up. That's why we never had the time to visit you after your surgery. We are really sorry for that. Please come back and we will live together as a happy family again. Please don't destroy the family we have bulit. I beg you. "

"Don't do that! She is not worth it. I don't know how I gave birth to such a selfish daughter like her. She is the one who is jealous of her sister and what does it mean to show your dirty laundry to the public. And about organ donation it was your duty to help you sister. And now we just don't want to break our family. If you don't want to come it is okay. It is just that Josephine can't seem to work well without you and needs her taim connection. Otherwise we are happy to have you leave the home. " My father Mark said in an angry voice.

I smiled because now all the questions were answered. I looked at them and in a cold voice I  said

"You guys never neglected me. You guys just thought I was not worth it. For you guys only Josephine's happiness matters even if it is at my expense. Now I know why my grandparents insisted that I should be the one to donate organs to my sister even though there were many donors outside. They diverted their hate towards their sister to me. Which makes me sick thinking about them. And was it too much to ask for a hug and kiss for more than twenty years of life? I guess it is not. It is just you guys never had time for me but for my sister you had ample amount of time. Whenever something was related to Josephine you guys always lose your sanity as if it is always me who is bad. You guys never cared and didn't even dare to look into the matters . And because of you guys and my grandparents my brothers also followed the same route and now they hate me to the core. But it doesn't matter because there is someone who loves me more that myself. And no one said a word of hate for you guys it is just that your actions proved it . For you guys only your brilliant daughter Josephine matters and not me. But it doesn't matter to me because there is someone who matters to me. And the thing about Josephine's designs helping you guys in the company, Did you guys forget that
those were my designs and I was the one who won those competitions and ultimately they were my designs who made your company rise. But never mind. You guys can think if you guys want. I have nothing to say to you guys. I just don't want you guys to interrupt my life. I am happy they wy I am living . You guys can live with the family you have made. And I will live with mine. "

With that I held Alex's hand and left those people who were once a cause of my anguish but now looking at them makes me realise that now I am living with Freedom.
