RECAP
“Your Highness!” The Librarian called. “The file is not here!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIIJ3bZlc9
“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?1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlChuW0NTq
“Maybe there was a mistake-”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsKqleyCi0
“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!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqehW8auIc
“Who wasn’t my friend?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3AUuiYAgv
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?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY74aysQSe2
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,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV9CWpjw4Q
“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!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Cii364QD
Fucking snitch!1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzucotXG72
“Did she now?” My mother said laconically as she averted her glare towards me.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpK0EjQAJP
“Yes she did!” I spat at her.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YBD0aSxTZ
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.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yD8YVTSWP
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.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcODdtdiCCD
“What are you doing down here?” She growled slowly.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh67txVtoE
“I DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU SHIT!” I raged as I quickly lost my temper.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZOlA7nssB
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!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXSja0i40x
“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?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KqagtjibN
“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!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0baPOq3orx
“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,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsTXdadfY6
She sputtered and gripped my arm tighter as she realized that I was right. “SHUT UP!” She screamed.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4qHQ5OTzG
“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!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3QiCu5vxw
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.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEvxlMCFzr
“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!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDdXL51DIL
“THEY CAN’T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING IDIOTS!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTzwOmLlNP
At this moment ladies and gentlemen, this dumb bitch just fell into my trap!1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg3XMyhzXh
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’,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxUyIr3M0k
Her eyes widened in horror as she released my arm and stepped away from me. “You conniving little bitch! You wouldn’t dare!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ODFkzcYix
“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,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WAEoAcmOP
She grit her teeth as she stared at me. “What do you want?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYm0k5NZuH
“Who’s Blair Heavens?” I got straight to the point.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrTH4YQHOb
Her previous anger vanished as she stared at in astonishment. “H-How do you know that name?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsohBZSi9q
“Did she ever work as your maid?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxvfwwxGhw
“Work for me?” She scoffed. “She didn’t work for me! She worked for your father!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zUR3LZXCt
My father?1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEW2uSSRLS
“What!” I gasped. “What do you mean she worked for him? She was his maid?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdwEYKxovL
“Maid?” She spat. “She was his mistress,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr1kU4pBQp
My eyes widened as I sputtered in shock. “Mi-Mistress? But I thought...wait, she was his mistress while he was married to you?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoRtOJqPAY
“She was his mistress before I even married that bastard,” She spat.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg1KQQArga
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?1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkArYSwZiAu
“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?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7F1v8ZEH7
“How do you know Blair Heavens?” She glared. “And give me the truth,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesdldfuqrc
“She’s the mother of one of my friends,” I said truthfully. “I’ve met her a few times and we talked a bit,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyeM8nAbR5
That’s not exactly a lie.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUxEO7qU5z
“What did she tell you?” She urged as she stepped closer to me.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt3P1PECgu
“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!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArj6Bv4N7F
Instead of reacting shocked like I expected her to, my mother merely chuckled humorlessly. “That’s what she told you?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mXXTflihg
“That’s what I saw!” I glared. “And that’s what she confirmed,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97YoeM9G6k
“Looks like you’re not as clever as you think you are,” She smirked. “Your father was not raping me, he was raping her!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE8GrKS4ze
Once again I was baffled. “What!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qYaoLlDqf
“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!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLATqRntFT2
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,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gnlLhPklD
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,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAytvf8mGar
She’s a crazy bitch! Who the hell could fall in love with a heartless man like my father? “Go on,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQImFYcMuq8
“She hated me with a passion,” She said nonchalantly. “And I hated her just as equally,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD6ZbjViFY
No surprise there.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjlvcQIcGc
“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!”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2wVLm5HmC
“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?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHyqhVhh7a
“I was getting to that!” She snapped.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzL686ZXyB
“What else about her?” I folded my arms, dismissing her bitchy tone.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1nUW3DbpY
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,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRw9XrpfzB
“Then how did he end up raping her?” I questioned.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r281cwQMM
“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,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSg9AlMnlc
“That’s why you hit him with the vase,” I whispered as the gears turned in my brain. “But why did you hit me?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUXQoNo12G
She turned her head to the side and glared at the ground. “I did it so that you wouldn’t remember what you saw,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2JnQKbYpW
“Why?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8kQTCkaTs
“DON’T QUESTION ME I JUST DID IT!” She shouted.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbHXfVXvXy
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?”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT5VNK6jnL
“Yes,” My mother nodded stiffly.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Nv1p59GD
“When did this party happen?” I whispered to myself.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tZc4vQHy7
“September 1999,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz9QrLMXPh
I felt the bile rise from my throat. Oh God, my suspicions were confirmed.1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ov7KCIHV
“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,”1198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFOUApo9TC
