RECAP
“Your Highness!” The Librarian called. “The file is not here!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibAFCBkFye
“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?1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81yqW1NgRa
“Maybe there was a mistake-”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1opBIx7y97
“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!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIeex7WFAA
“Who wasn’t my friend?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUKScvsFPX
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?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAHwzpNeWe
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,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tkQG9Aj4f
“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!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60OxhPUq0j
Fucking snitch!1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVqBQuQtTD
“Did she now?” My mother said laconically as she averted her glare towards me.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBSzUQJy5C
“Yes she did!” I spat at her.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogb8aDiC9w
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.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0onknQbzD
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.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls59eEmEpZ
“What are you doing down here?” She growled slowly.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrwg5TJklw
“I DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU SHIT!” I raged as I quickly lost my temper.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bR18kemgY
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!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxPnBl5O3E
“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?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2U476m6LJ
“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!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUZ05AqrjT
“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,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiE65wIYFn
She sputtered and gripped my arm tighter as she realized that I was right. “SHUT UP!” She screamed.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv155J7NIaz
“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!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqTjfIsBa5
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.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFp22N6kdv
“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!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CY5CWhtvh
“THEY CAN’T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING IDIOTS!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ox8OM1ZPo
At this moment ladies and gentlemen, this dumb bitch just fell into my trap!1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RlFREuH5B
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’,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc5ozs8eNt
Her eyes widened in horror as she released my arm and stepped away from me. “You conniving little bitch! You wouldn’t dare!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF4knpFWyX
“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,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6fBdFeAGw
She grit her teeth as she stared at me. “What do you want?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSVvWTNyGs
“Who’s Blair Heavens?” I got straight to the point.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1AmNjrEtJ
Her previous anger vanished as she stared at in astonishment. “H-How do you know that name?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjM9bq33AO
“Did she ever work as your maid?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQZGbLTGVg
“Work for me?” She scoffed. “She didn’t work for me! She worked for your father!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDREfASpCcQ
My father?1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl259orA0Ln
“What!” I gasped. “What do you mean she worked for him? She was his maid?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XtqNsXy6i
“Maid?” She spat. “She was his mistress,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ483UKZr3EH
My eyes widened as I sputtered in shock. “Mi-Mistress? But I thought...wait, she was his mistress while he was married to you?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAPX9SVTEa
“She was his mistress before I even married that bastard,” She spat.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl0JUyVVqL
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?1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ur6etj3d
“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?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CzMmNdcq7
“How do you know Blair Heavens?” She glared. “And give me the truth,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSFPZIUjjy
“She’s the mother of one of my friends,” I said truthfully. “I’ve met her a few times and we talked a bit,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hZXJBzPZn
That’s not exactly a lie.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cuDHn7oHq
“What did she tell you?” She urged as she stepped closer to me.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02TjB6ow7g
“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!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK2LYmwS6h
Instead of reacting shocked like I expected her to, my mother merely chuckled humorlessly. “That’s what she told you?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1jAYkPWdf
“That’s what I saw!” I glared. “And that’s what she confirmed,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWICJ7HPlmR
“Looks like you’re not as clever as you think you are,” She smirked. “Your father was not raping me, he was raping her!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSozcxBcBl
Once again I was baffled. “What!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiD5TFQbWY
“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!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlzoTncK75
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,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ136c5Y4fLr
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,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtVS9ZckBW
She’s a crazy bitch! Who the hell could fall in love with a heartless man like my father? “Go on,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Gs4Zq8oM
“She hated me with a passion,” She said nonchalantly. “And I hated her just as equally,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAprjENIRnF
No surprise there.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqOhtfh7JJ
“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!”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OhuYQcv8L
“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?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuNirC5rai
“I was getting to that!” She snapped.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5NcTYhpef
“What else about her?” I folded my arms, dismissing her bitchy tone.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffZtFMYdjz
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,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hn2xUEJ5z
“Then how did he end up raping her?” I questioned.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YowqFzhuZ
“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,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFkSmgBS9R
“That’s why you hit him with the vase,” I whispered as the gears turned in my brain. “But why did you hit me?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROKbuYrJcC
She turned her head to the side and glared at the ground. “I did it so that you wouldn’t remember what you saw,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALblpgO4HP
“Why?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHinbAohJz
“DON’T QUESTION ME I JUST DID IT!” She shouted.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lh7nYKJwc
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?”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF35OVvLaAY
“Yes,” My mother nodded stiffly.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IPBFgAuOR
“When did this party happen?” I whispered to myself.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZHXVYZClQ
“September 1999,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNFY2DNkIZ
I felt the bile rise from my throat. Oh God, my suspicions were confirmed.1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8cAb0ImDr
“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,”1087Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRGt9uqICq
