CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

                                TRUTH 4
                             
Immediately I heard my father words on his reference on what happened two years ago

I felt my smile leave my face , my little smirk fell flat from my face asi I can't believe they called me all the way from work to this

I then turned towards my father with a cold stare on my face and said

I have made it clear I don't wish to discuss what happened two years ago why can't you all just let It be

Because I don't really get why is that a day won't pass without any of you asking me about it 

If  you don't ask me,  James will ask me if James doesn't ask me  Sarah will ask me I don't get what is wrong with this family , Amara shouted with so much anger in her voice

Amara calm down my mother said touching my shoulder

No mother I won't I shouted as I stood up from the chair I was sitting ,  almost knocking the seat down due to how enraged I am

You all have always interfere with my life , everyone seems to know what is good for me did I ask any of you for help ? I shouted at my family

Look at how you all , will just decide and pick a date and then go ahead and interfer in my private life it not as if I do same to any of you

Amara sit down and listen to what father has to say chuks said trying to calm his sister

If you call my name again chuks I will match your head  at that place your sitting did I ask for your opinion I shouted at my brother with my raised voice

Amara sit down this instant my father shouted at me

I turned towards him sharply and narrowed my piercing silver eyes at him,  at this point  my breaths have started to come in a fast pace , as  I am fuming with so much anger 

Deep within me I was contemplating on Disobeying my father ,  but I can't do that in front of junior brothers

So I reluctantly sat down back  on my seat with my head in my  palm

I could literally feel my hands shaking and my  chest constricting with so much pain

The  only thing that is  running through my mind  is how I can escape from here,  so I won't  break down in front of my family

I can't let them see that I have been having panic attacks
That I have been suffering silently alone ever since that day I was served those rape allegations papers

I know if they are to find out about my panic attacks I won't have any peace left  , so I decided not tell anyone and keep it to myself because I can't afford anyone to think I am  weak 

I was still trying to control my breathing and my anger , and not have my panic attacks that comes whenever I am being cornered and ask about what happened

I was doing my breathe in and breath out exercise routine trying to get my anger down,  that was when I felt my mum  held my hands in her own  and kissed them both she  then said

Amara I know your deeply upset about what happened, and I also know you don't wish to discuss it but this is very important for you to discuss
My mother said in her always gentle mothering voice

I then turned my face towards my mother and said  ,
I understand you and father is worried about me but mom I assure you I am perfectly fine

The reason why I don't want to discuss about what happened it because there is nothing to discuss

What has happened has happened,  you all should let It go I said to my mum hoping she will understand me and convince the rest of the family to let go of the issue

I was still looking to my  mum,  waiting on her reply when my father said something to me

Well there is something to discuss now , remember Sarah travel to the US to meet the newspaper company who will be covering your wedding ceremony with Jane

Yeah father  I remember she took permission from me I said as I looked to my father waiting for his next words

Well she also went ahead to do  some investigation  about the Wilson's and what happened between you and  them

Oh god why me I thought to myself as I closed my eyes trying to hold in my anger
When Sarah comes back she will wished she hadn't made this journey and poke into my private affairs

After I am done dealing with her the next person will be James if he so much as breath wrong next to me he is fucking dead

Father  Sarah is doing too much  don't you think she is going about  disrespecting my wishes, I said calmly but as each words left  my mouth so my voice began to rise for the second time

I didn't ask her to go do some heroic investigations on my behalf
I only granted her permission to the newsletter who is publishing my wedding

Why is she going over board and poking around something I didn't send her ? My voice exploded through out the room in anger

I immediately stood up from my chair and turned to leave,  I  need to leave this place  and find somewhere to cool off.  I can't afford to suffer another panic attack

I had just taken two steps towards the door when my mother's voice stopped dead in my tracks

I turned slowly towards her with my heart Beating fast and my eyes rapidly moving side my side

what did you just  say mother I asked her slowly hoping to God almighty I heard wrong the first time

My mother stood up and handed me my father's phone and said

Elizabeth Wilson became pregnant shortly after her meeting with you , she gave birth to twins a year ago both a boy  and a girl

That is their pictures that your sister Sarah sent

I looked down at the phone In my hand I could feel my hands shaking and heart beating fast , my breaths was also coming in fast gasps

As I use the little courage in me and flip through the pictures I saw the twins that they said it mine

Both of them having my  eyes and nose including our family distinguished dread's locks

This set of children looks exactly like me the little resemblance that they have towards Elizabeth is the colour of their dreads and also their delicate hands
Since their mother is very petite in size 

I then flip to  next picture, it is of my sister and the twins

I quickly flip to the next picture by this time tears is already falling down my eyes

I immediately wipe them off so I can see properly, upon seeing the next picture it was of Elizabeth and the twins

She still looks the same , with her petite stature , beautiful long blond and blues eyes

I can see elizabeth still have it in her to capture my attention as I was still staring at her picture

I then felt my world starting to go black I can hear voices calling out my name but no matter how hard I tried I can't respond

I felt my knees hitting the floor and the phone falling from my hands
I felt someone grabbing me trying to get me to stand up , with the perfume I perceived I noticed this is my brother Allen

Even in my unconscious state I can still recognise his smell

Alot of voices was calling out my name  but still yet I can't move a muscle or responds

My mum voice was shouting calling out to me I tried to say something but my toung felt heavy

I then felt everything began to slip away from me little by little , Until my vision went black

I then felt my body go slack and my world  welcome  the darkness
