Conflicts & Motives

Unknown's POV

Shit!! How can I stop it? That boy has feelings for him. Maybe I should tell them the truth... Yeah, maybe I should... but... what if they don't believe me. They don't really know me. It's normal for them not to trust me and it's obvious that boy is smitten by him.

I must stop him. I can't let him get too close to that boy. I don't know what plan he has for them, but I know he is going to hurt them, that's for sure.

Those rumours... I'm sure it's part of his plan. I must protect them, no matter what. I need to atone my sister's sin. I know what she did to them, but I didn't stop her.

She was my only sister, I just wanted her to be happy. I didn't realise I was making a mistake until it was too late. I should have stop her at that time, but I didn't and now, I'm not going to let myself making the same mistake again.

King's POV

"Bishop, you better tell me what actually happened last year. I only know Mia loves Forth and Forth rejected her. What else happened? You better tell the truth!"

Bishop gulps, "When Forth rejected Mia, she was so sad, and you know, she was my cousin. How could I do nothing to help her? So...."

"So, you gave her the drug and told her what to do." I continue the sentence for her.

I bark and point my finger at her angrily, "How could you! Mia was a sweet girl. She might be pampered but she won't harm anyone. And you, you make her looked like some kind of vicious woman."

"I was just trying to help her, ok! I thought she would get the man she wanted in the end."

I snort, "You thought?! You tell me what happened in the end. She got reprimanded for her action. She got drunk. And she got gang raped. In the end, she committed suicide. Did you ever think of all these before you gave her the drug?"

I never thought that things will turn out this way. I always blamed Forth for her death but now, I'm not sure anymore...

"King, you shouldn't blame Bishop for that. She was just trying to help her cousin. She just wanted Mia to be happy. Is there anything wrong with that? If there is, then you should blame Mia's brother too because he knew about the plan, but he didn't stop her. By the way, King, ask yourself, will you stop Mia if you were there and you knew about her plan." Rook comments.

I shut my eyes close and heave a deep breath, "No... I will do anything to make her happy..."

Bishop sobs, "I'm sorry... I don't mean... to lie to you... I know how much... she meant to you... *sniff* I just...just don't want to ruin her image inside your heart. That's why I didn't tell you the truth... I want you to remember... her as that sweet little girl... *sniff* who would sneak food to you... when you got locked out... of the house by your father's wife..."

Those memories... I will never forget them... Not in this lifetime. I was a whore's son. Whenever I make my father's wife angry even if I have done nothing wrong, I would get locked out of the house and Mia would always sneaked food to me.

She and her brother lived beside us. I still remember the first time I got punished, I was only ten and Mia was nine. At that time, she was so small and so sweet. She would ask me with a smile whether the food was enough for me to eat. Sometimes when the night got cold, she and her brother would sneak blanket or jacket for me.

My father? He didn't care whether I'm still alive. All he cares about is that precious son of his, my elder brother. To him, that son is a jewel and I... am a garbage. The only person who cares about me is Mia and she was gone.
