RECAP
“Your Highness!” The Librarian called. “The file is not here!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJlQcgqpgs
“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?1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8RVRQBtsD
“Maybe there was a mistake-”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0xp2s4Qte
“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!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvE7eBXhSq
“Who wasn’t my friend?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnmtIDQJwf
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?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBslj79H6b9
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,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNoAiHtqM7
“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!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pzv7eGVXt
Fucking snitch!1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNllycaCzEm
“Did she now?” My mother said laconically as she averted her glare towards me.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyrSX35BJN
“Yes she did!” I spat at her.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z07ikDXmA
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.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPevF6aJNm
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.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaFDSsLziA
“What are you doing down here?” She growled slowly.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OBD4Qlidd
“I DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU SHIT!” I raged as I quickly lost my temper.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu29NwU8kj9
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!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FeU8QGsev
“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?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcSPLgDGxY
“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!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyB9pfXKoG
“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,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs8RB3QvyL
She sputtered and gripped my arm tighter as she realized that I was right. “SHUT UP!” She screamed.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaMyRSAH1f
“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!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC6T82nk2h
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.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9kUbQ8J0H
“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!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjUQUEeauc
“THEY CAN’T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING IDIOTS!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPijkKPb1g
At this moment ladies and gentlemen, this dumb bitch just fell into my trap!1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkru2hjqLWb
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’,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IGpbQHbGb
Her eyes widened in horror as she released my arm and stepped away from me. “You conniving little bitch! You wouldn’t dare!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS42bpddTid
“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,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwv8ZDX5pE
She grit her teeth as she stared at me. “What do you want?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTO7NhoAPn
“Who’s Blair Heavens?” I got straight to the point.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvOqgLl7Ha
Her previous anger vanished as she stared at in astonishment. “H-How do you know that name?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpth8lUHQC
“Did she ever work as your maid?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleMLT2B59O
“Work for me?” She scoffed. “She didn’t work for me! She worked for your father!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj5FMAdNdU
My father?1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfE1tny8O0
“What!” I gasped. “What do you mean she worked for him? She was his maid?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVaTjXse8N
“Maid?” She spat. “She was his mistress,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EHSVuhMN3
My eyes widened as I sputtered in shock. “Mi-Mistress? But I thought...wait, she was his mistress while he was married to you?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEkeOSrvPy
“She was his mistress before I even married that bastard,” She spat.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAewCPaXGTA
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?1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl4yMX16F1
“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?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVO5PCUjkJ
“How do you know Blair Heavens?” She glared. “And give me the truth,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwNKnh4KTn
“She’s the mother of one of my friends,” I said truthfully. “I’ve met her a few times and we talked a bit,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevG06hPY73
That’s not exactly a lie.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfywBgjSEC2
“What did she tell you?” She urged as she stepped closer to me.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6fUIMkDUj
“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!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LCgQW89z7
Instead of reacting shocked like I expected her to, my mother merely chuckled humorlessly. “That’s what she told you?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt460l8SfR
“That’s what I saw!” I glared. “And that’s what she confirmed,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX7S5lIe4z
“Looks like you’re not as clever as you think you are,” She smirked. “Your father was not raping me, he was raping her!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR8BdbBLY1
Once again I was baffled. “What!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tyaRdhZxd
“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!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFq0VXGfPQ
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,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVZI3s0E29
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,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS30JDRDnmh
She’s a crazy bitch! Who the hell could fall in love with a heartless man like my father? “Go on,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZjdNS7DmO
“She hated me with a passion,” She said nonchalantly. “And I hated her just as equally,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUIMq2xHdO
No surprise there.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zJOKBKEpR
“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!”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7ARb1QkVW
“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?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolTsJaSW6P
“I was getting to that!” She snapped.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdCQmfB5Uj
“What else about her?” I folded my arms, dismissing her bitchy tone.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhWT6EdWq2
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,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YXe8t6D8b
“Then how did he end up raping her?” I questioned.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4iUqh1dUV
“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,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNYwTEmMxB
“That’s why you hit him with the vase,” I whispered as the gears turned in my brain. “But why did you hit me?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqrwxCoPwi
She turned her head to the side and glared at the ground. “I did it so that you wouldn’t remember what you saw,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv3qCQe6nj
“Why?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ECsAGaH7z
“DON’T QUESTION ME I JUST DID IT!” She shouted.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIszQRm68l
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?”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ7aNEel9P
“Yes,” My mother nodded stiffly.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgLCXyApif
“When did this party happen?” I whispered to myself.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUCbglkwtq
“September 1999,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3V0GbcLE1
I felt the bile rise from my throat. Oh God, my suspicions were confirmed.1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwndtoSUXP
“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,”1193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJoEa5pm0S
