Untold Truth ( Jack strify fan fiction)

Chapter 20: Learning new things

Weeks pasted by after that heartbreaking day. Lord Strify was no longer available to have any contact with me nor I to him. Of course my father and Strify had a few business meetings when he arrived I wasn't in that part of the house. I did enjoy writing in my journal in the afternoons that I knew he would arrive, just a glance of my darling that was so close yet so far away.

My father has not spoken to me since that day: It seems he is ignoring the matter hoping things will clear up after my marriage to whomever I'm engaged too. Today my father was leaving for important business to take care of with the king.

  "Farewell darling be safe" my mother kissed him goodbye; the carriage was out front waiting.

"Victoria," he spoke turning to look at me. I had hope that he would inform me that the marriage was over but he didn't.

  "Behave while I'm gone." I nodded disappointed. Mid-afternoon that day the house eerily, quiet memories crossed my mind, the person I've missed so much. Tears that threatened to spill rolled down my face as I played a smooth melody on the piano. I felt a hand on my shoulder suddenly turning to face my mother who was now behind me with a frown on her face.

"Oh Victoria" she whispered

  "m-mother, I miss him" I whispered sheading more tears. With the gentle touch of her hand she wiped my tears away.

"Come darling, time for dinner"

 Walking to the dinner table, our maid opened the double doors, I gasped. Lord Strify sat in front of the table a smile formed onto his face as he stood up to greet us.

 "Lady Bella thank you for having me for dinner" he spoke politely placing a gentle kiss on my mother's hand.

 Knives p.o.v

 I heard the door knob unlock and soon the door opened, Shin walked in. "hey knives," he smiled I was relieved that he wasn't Jack. "Come downstairs."

"Alright"

I followed him down the stairs to fine the first floor quiet. Shin walked me though the hallway leading us in front of a plain white door. He opened it slowly suddenly holding my arm with a firm grip. Jack was seating behind an office desk as soon as the door opened he stared straight at me. I gulped nervously feeling shin tug on my arm sitting me down on the chair that was facing strify.

"Leave us" he voice was crept along with a serious tone. Shin nodded obeying closing the door behind him. The room grew quiet I looked over my surroundings of what looks like to be his office; there was a large shelf filled with countless books. There were unique pieces of artwork hung on the wall.

I heard jack clear his throat I turned my head giving him my full attention. "I'm sorry I lost my temper a bit back there you must have many questions and i'm willing to answer them but first" he took my phone out of this pocket and slid it across the desk. "You may want this back" what the hell??!?.

Surprised I leaned towered taking the phone that buzzed in my hand. "jezz what did you do to me when I was unconscious?" I unlocked the screen of my phone seeing the missed calls from Jeremy along with many unread text messages. "Oh truth me I did much less then I wanted" he winked at me with a slight smirk. Eh what a perv. "Strify what the hell?!" I rose my voice slightly suddenly his face hardened "Careful darling" he warned.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

 "Why did you ask me to marry you? Why i'm I here?"

"Don't you know the way I feel about you? You saw what you saw and tried to run away-"

"You're not human" A hard lump formed in the back of my throat.

"Correct and neither are you"

"How?"

"You died"

"You're saying the life I'm living now is a lie"

"Yes you'll start to remember your past life with time Johanna, yu and Kiro have gone to your apartment to get a few of your things"

"You expect me to just be ok with this?" the lump in my throat started to sting I forced myself to swallow it.

"Well you are my fiancé after all"

 "But I-" the doorbell rang cutting me off. Jack stood up from his seat. "Come you have a piano lesson hopefully it will help you regain you memory"

Jack hired a middle-aged man to teach me piano daily today's lesson was short due to strify's schedule. Johanna finally arrived with yu and Kiro with my things shortly after given orders to pull everything away while I took a shower I had my own bathroom. Kiro hang up a purple shower certain for me and placed a black rug of the center of the floor.

  Finally.

Left alone I took a deep breath as the warm water ran down my body releasing tears of frustration. Why is he doing this to me?
