Beauty Inside

Chapter 45.

Elizabeth POV.

     So maybe i need more sleep. The person in front of me was surprising. I looked at James, then Jace.

Owen Stark.

"So...., I'm confused!!" I said

"I called Owen here!!" Jace said.

"Whoa. Is that him?" Owen asked Jonathan.

"Yup!!"

"Well, I don't need to know why you kept yourself hidden. If not, every girl will be at your door every morning!!" Owen said.

"Anyways, what's going on here?" I asked them. They looked at me and became silent.

"You guys might want to sit for this!!" Jace said. We sat down, he brought popcorns and lemonades.

"What I want to say..... Must only be with us four only!!" He said

"Yeah okay!!" We said.

"Promise?"

"Promise!"

"Okay." He said.

"I was given birth when I was 2001 in Manchester. And..... I was a twin. Bla, bla, bla, two years later. My Mom gave birth to a baby and named her Jacklyn....."

"Wait, Jacklyn Hamilton?" I asked. One of Stefan brothers.

"Yep." He replied.

"But why....."

"Would you let me explain?" He asked. I shrug and ate popcorn.

"So, at 5, Mom frequently went to America and we were left with her rich best friend. Ethan's Mom. At eight, Mom took us to America and we saw the cabin Mom and Grandma had been living. It was amazing when we saw the waterfalls.  After that time. We came every year. And every time Mom always went to our Dad's place, we always stayed at the cabin, telling Jack stories."

"One holiday, after going back to England, Ethan went to Knightsbridge. We stayed at our house and the next day, Mom had  a call. She said it was from our Dad. I didn't care, cause as far as I knew, I didn't know him so I didn't like him. She said she was going to America, my sister, Layla wanted to follow her. She asked if we wanted to come along, but i insisted. So she took Jack and i to Knightsbridge, to stay with Ethan and his Mom. But at the end......"

"That was the last time I saw her. And Layla." He said. He took a cup of lemonade and drank it.

"That was......"

"I'm so sorry!!" I said. So his Mom is also dead.

"That's not all. And you guys should stop the pity face!!" He said.

"So, when the news came weeks later that a plane coming to England crashed, I knew they were gone. And I wanted to be strong for Jack so I didn't cry. Layla was my best friend, my sister, my mom, all in one. And I loved her so much. I never really love anyone as I loved them both." He said. That hurts.

"So, limos came the next day, and took Jack and I to America along with Ethan and his Mom. Dad told us he was my father, actually, it was obvious. And because I resembled him so well, he had to keep my identity hidden. He hired men to school me at home but I didn't like it. So, he asked me if I would go to school for normal children, but I had to wear mask, glasses and hoodie." He said.

"So, you have to keep your secret hidden?" I asked.

"Yup. Because of his Dad!" James said. Great, he told them before he told me.

"Oh. What about balls?" He asked me.

"Well, I only come once in a while to represent my Dad!!" He said.
