Separated

22. Death

My mother had disappeared after I had talked to her.

I wanted her to disappear but I never thought that she would die leaving me by myself.

I had questions.

Why were people following me and saying that my biological parents were looking for me.

Why was my mother murder?

"Clara, I'm sorry I shouldn't have called you" he said upset.

"No, you did the right thing. If you find out anything else. Please let me know" I said my voice creaking.

I was trying hard not to cry.

"Is everything, okay?" Angelina asked as I hang up my phone.

"Problems at work" I lied and stared outside my window.

****

"We have arrive" Angelina said stopping the car and getting out.

I study my surroundings.

I had zoomed out thinking about the death of my mother.

That I hadn't paid attention to the route we had taken.

Now all I could see was trees surrounding us.

Behind the gate there was a mansion it was so dark. That I thought she was playing a prank at me.

No way did someone live there.

A loud noise made me jump.

Angelina was opening the gate in front of us.

"They are waiting for us" she said as she pushed the gate open.

"Are you sure?" I asked looking at the mansion.

There was no light coming from there.

The mansion felt more like a prison.

The windows had bars and there was no life behind it.

The mansion was kind of ugly. It was painted in a dark gray color. The door was a shade black. Even the ground scared me.

There was object.

Like broken glass, plastic items, and metal.

"Can we go back" I said turning to leave.

"Its not that bad. Trust me" she said walking back in getting in her car.

I didn't trust her. 

Yet I got inside the car and she dropped me of in front of the door.

"I'll be back soon" she said driving away.

I thought do I knock or do I leave.

I tap at the door softly.

"O, will I guess there is no one home" I said turning to leave.

I took three steps away from the door. When the door open wide to a women staring at me.

"O, hi sorry I got the wrong address" I said quickly.

"Come in. Your in the right place" the women said looking me up and down.

"I remember I had something to do" I said backing away from the women.

"Come in. They are waiting for you" she said getting out and pointing inside.

"Will..." I said hesitating.

I walked close to the women and look inside.

"But isn't it to dark inside" I said looking around.

She didn't reply.

Suddenly, someone pulled me inside the house and throw me against the floor.

My hands were in pain as I fell down.

"Look who is here! My dear daughter" a men said with a lunatic expression.

I looked around it was dark. The only thing that illuminated the room was a couple of candles on the wall.

A group of men stood looking at me with fascination.

"Is she the one?" A young men asked stepping forward.

"Son this is the women you have always wanted. This is the gift I spoke to you before" he said sitting down next to me.

"Stay away. I won't let anyone hurt me!" I yelled at them.

The young man walked towards me and hold my chin in a tight grip.

"You were taught right. I guess Jack knows what he likes the best" he said with a huge grin.

"Jack.. Jack ordered you to do this. How could you all be brought with money! I won't let any of you win. So you better let me go!" I shouted taking a good bite of his arm.

 
Pushing him away and getting up fast.

But I was surrounded.

"How dare you treat your future husband like crap! Jack didn't teach you right!" The man that called me daughter shouted at me.

"Who are you and this people" I said glaring at him.

"Your my daughter. My name is David Lee and that is my son Steven" he said trying to calm himself.

"Your not my father! Your a fake! And does it make sense that you want to marry me of with your son..my brother" I said rolling my eyes at them.

"There is nothing wrong with you marrying him. All the women in our family married like that. Your mother did the same thing" he said with a huge grin.

"My mother would never do that" I said disgusted.

"I'm married to your mother and I'm her brother nothing wrong" he said walking next to his son.

"So your my father and uncle" I said trying to process everything he said.

"He is your brother by your mother side also he is Jack younger brother. The first time he saw you he fell in love with you" he said look at his son.

"Okay, I'm so confuse right now" I said looking around trying to find a way out.

"I married your mother. She was a useless women back than. I bought this house and forced her to live here in the middle of nowhere. I was so stupid back than. I thought I could make her love me" he said walking around in finding a stick that was against the wall.

"But she escaped one day with her lover. The man I hired to watch over her and you my dear daughter. At that time you were 2 years old. That was the last time I said you" he said tapping a small furniture with the stick.

"And I was so lucky to find her 4 years later. But unfortunately she was pregnant by that man and she would never tell me where she had left you. I had great plans for both of you. I assure you he is much better than Jack. I taught him how to be a real man" he said.
