RECAP
“Your Highness!” The Librarian called. “The file is not here!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4XTPYr7iR
“What do you mean it’s not here?” I stalked angrily over to her. Under my mother’s name was all of her employees names, but Blair’s was nowhere to be found. What the fuck? Did she lie to me about being a maid?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ybMrYp3rd
“Maybe there was a mistake-”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUgjePqmPA
“No,” I interrupted her. “This isn’t a mistake. She never was a maid here and she probably was never my mother’s friend in the first place!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpoZDkQRge
“Who wasn’t my friend?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTpuZTjCaj
We both whipped around to see my mother, in all her bitchy glory, standing at the entrance of the vault with her arms folded tightly across her chest. “Just what is going on here?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCa6X4qLVO
Ah shit!
Chapter 19 - Truth
“Emilia,” My mother glared at the librarian. “You know that it is absolutely forbidden for others to be down here,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNOg61s4A5
“I-I-I’m so sorry Your Majesty!” She cried as she threw herself to the ground. “The Princess threatened my job if I didn’t bring her here! I didn’t know what else to do, I couldn’t afford to lose my job!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPccLYPq5d6
Fucking snitch!1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEsxRCWM4t
“Did she now?” My mother said laconically as she averted her glare towards me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e0UEOtOic
“Yes she did!” I spat at her.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwY8nhRWyN
I watched her plastic face become red in anger as she clenched her fists tightly against her sides. “Emilia, wait out in the library for me, we’ll talk then, I need to have a little chat with my daughter,” She spat out the word daughter with so much venom and hatred.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcPGXBkY3f
Emilia bowed meekly before scurrying out of the vault, shutting the door behind her. My mother and I stood facing each other, the tension in the air was so thick, you’d need a hacksaw to cute through it. Our identical crystal blue eyes that could probably turn someone to stone right now were boring through each others souls. Shit was about to get real.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO2RljRqor
“What are you doing down here?” She growled slowly.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BjbCgeXrw
“I DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU SHIT!” I raged as I quickly lost my temper.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfFrfOMAvg
She stalked over to me and grabbed my upper arm tightly. “Listen to me good and listen to me clear you fucking bitch,” She spat as her grip became tighter on my arm. “You will tell me what you were doing down here or else I will not hesitate to throw you out of this fucking palace and onto the damn streets!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMhHitu7ML
“Oh really?” I mused as I laughed at her weak threat. “I wonder how the public will feel about you putting their princess on the streets?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb15bJGhl3s
“Don’t kid yourself brat,” She scoffed. “They hate you, just as much as I do! They wouldn’t care at all what happens to you!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdMmveupQf
“Ha!” I laughed again. “And what would you tell the public your reasoning for putting me on the streets? You don’t even know the reason why I’m down here. Heck, all I have to say is that I wanted it for research and no one would bat an eyelash,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8rnVsWkzI
She sputtered and gripped my arm tighter as she realized that I was right. “SHUT UP!” She screamed.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo60f09NCu4
“What’s the matter mommy dearest?” I said sarcastically. “Didn’t I once hear you say on camera that I love to learn about my family history and you do everything that you can to help me!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZk0TPrOQW
She’d said that on an interview. Lying straight into the camera with a straight face; I think it’s obvious where my amazing lying skills came from.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7dCooPKiC
“Or was that just a lie?” I mocked as I tapped my finger against my chin. “I wonder what the public will say about that!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx7bZKOsee
“THEY CAN’T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING IDIOTS!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdruAFGX57g
At this moment ladies and gentlemen, this dumb bitch just fell into my trap!1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkd70jvNph
I took my other hand off the recorder button on my phone and waved it up in her face. “I wonder how the Heartlands would feel if they heard their queen calling them ‘fucking idiots’,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cdbfCb5Rt
Her eyes widened in horror as she released my arm and stepped away from me. “You conniving little bitch! You wouldn’t dare!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CA0Fi2MuH
“Oh I would mommy dearest,” I laughed maniacally. “But if you want me to keep quiet about it, you’ll tell some things I want to know,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFPyIj9IH3
She grit her teeth as she stared at me. “What do you want?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVC62fNsgD
“Who’s Blair Heavens?” I got straight to the point.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeko6l2irbX
Her previous anger vanished as she stared at in astonishment. “H-How do you know that name?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetkJ2MgE4u
“Did she ever work as your maid?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmjyqeljfu
“Work for me?” She scoffed. “She didn’t work for me! She worked for your father!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NATdUFGIY
My father?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK2OJQHzyz
“What!” I gasped. “What do you mean she worked for him? She was his maid?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueDg8E6TKq
“Maid?” She spat. “She was his mistress,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEdbymrpAv
My eyes widened as I sputtered in shock. “Mi-Mistress? But I thought...wait, she was his mistress while he was married to you?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9eIMju2yz
“She was his mistress before I even married that bastard,” She spat.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKf0uQvbGJ
That bitch had lied to me! And I believed her! Damn, she was good. But why did she lie about it? In my memory, she was the one who had knocked my father out cold over his head. Did she hold some sort of resentment towards him?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh1rbC6GFI
“I don’t understand?” I whispered as I tried to figure everything out, but not even my advanced intellect could decipher what was going. “This doesn’t make any sense. Why would she lie?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYOqQz6tmo
“How do you know Blair Heavens?” She glared. “And give me the truth,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1k5o7WHcS
“She’s the mother of one of my friends,” I said truthfully. “I’ve met her a few times and we talked a bit,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkKfORtafg
That’s not exactly a lie.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nXk9F5LKG
“What did she tell you?” She urged as she stepped closer to me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaeJEt4LdF
“She didn’t tell me anything!” I stepped back from her. “I remembered on my own. I remember father raping you and I remember her knocking him out cold with a vase and I remember her knocking me over my head with the same vase!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4nE2LUj8B
Instead of reacting shocked like I expected her to, my mother merely chuckled humorlessly. “That’s what she told you?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIomsDVsae
“That’s what I saw!” I glared. “And that’s what she confirmed,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCosGzye8bX
“Looks like you’re not as clever as you think you are,” She smirked. “Your father was not raping me, he was raping her!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHyUdir4kn
Once again I was baffled. “What!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXwtLr5TiD
“I remember that night very clearly. It wasn’t me on the bed being raped, it was her! It was me who knocked you both out!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1WXLFswE5
My brain was turning to mush as my heart beat erratically. Just what the hell was happening? “Tell me everything, the entire story about her,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ywm1MXUTJ
My mother sighed before reluctantly speaking. “Like I said, she was a mistress to your father, but she fell hopelessly in love with him. And even though she came from a rich family, I was still chosen to be his bride so she settled to just be his mistress,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweBWlXc0VT
She’s a crazy bitch! Who the hell could fall in love with a heartless man like my father? “Go on,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9DkE72dBm
“She hated me with a passion,” She said nonchalantly. “And I hated her just as equally,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN9QKh7zr4
No surprise there.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rzaUnIXsU
“I knew that she wanted to be me, wanted to take my place on the throne,” She paced around the room. “She would even act motherly towards you and your siblings, as if you were her kids and not mine!”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYEwKpSja0
“It’s not like were a mother to us!” I spat. “And if she was so motherly, why can’t I remember anything about her? Why hasn’t Arty or Grace or even the twins ever brought her up?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCF9uM90Yx
“I was getting to that!” She snapped.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgihBuRzrXA
“What else about her?” I folded my arms, dismissing her bitchy tone.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rF5Ssv5m9
She sighed before speaking. “Over time, your father had begun to find Blair unattractive and would rather be with me than her, and she absolutely hated it! He eventually fired her and she completely lost her mind,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4TbX0HgY5
“Then how did he end up raping her?” I questioned.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DN3E36X6A
“One night, on your father’s birthday, he got very drunk, and as you know, he becomes violent when intoxicated. That delusional bitch, dressed up as me so that he would think he would be sleeping with her. But it got out of control. He got to violent and ending up raping her so badly that she was bleeding. That’s when you came wondering into the room and he started attacking you,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA6eg6GBPD
“That’s why you hit him with the vase,” I whispered as the gears turned in my brain. “But why did you hit me?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65FAEljSvd
She turned her head to the side and glared at the ground. “I did it so that you wouldn’t remember what you saw,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eSkPtegTb
“Why?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXkhyn6RN4
“DON’T QUESTION ME I JUST DID IT!” She shouted.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdTn1Zp9Aj
I was still trying to figure everything out so I wasn’t even bothered by her shouting. One little thing was floating in the back of my mind. A thought that I prayed to God was not true. “Blair said she left the palace because she became pregnant...is that true?”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRzd3wUPYC
“Yes,” My mother nodded stiffly.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3MYz9OuzX
“When did this party happen?” I whispered to myself.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGvANqCal9
“September 1999,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8yx2AUkqe
I felt the bile rise from my throat. Oh God, my suspicions were confirmed.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e9kzcIOu6
“She conceived a child from that rape,” I tear rolled down my face. “She had a child on in January 1999, a son, named Lux Heavens,”1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRg3ifQSNN
