2 Chapter 2:Alone?

Chap 2

"Are you trying to help her?"

Asked the man.

There's a poor little girl bruised all over her body. There's also blood stained on her clothes and floor.

"You should go easy on her. She's still young.."

The 17-year-old man took a glance at her without any pity. His eyes are cold.

The same green eyes as her but it holds a different meaning.

"She's born in this family... No one cares if you are a child, a toddler, or what... That's not an excuse to fail the missions."

As the man speaks, he continued to whip the girl but the girl didn't struggle or cry. She's just gritted her teeth so hard.

"Please... let her go, father..."

"You are still a softie... Yohan..."

The girl looks into Yohan's eyes.. she could see him smiling sweetly at her for a moment.

"Then, you shall take the responsibility."

It took a few seconds before the girl realized what did their father said.

"NO! DON'T TOUCH MY BROTHER!!!! DON'T!"

"I'M SORRY FATHER! IT'S MY FAULT. LET YOHAN GO! DON'T!..."

However... no one cares or hears her cry. There's only the sound of a whip hitting a body.

They're only separated by a wall. Seeing each other pain without no one pitying them.

'That damn dream again.'

It's been 10 years and now I already possess someone but that dream still following me like a ghost!

And again the tears flow down wetting my cheeks. Hey, I guess this is already enough to punish me.

"Milady?"

The same voice that I heard earlier.

"Leave me alone..."

If I really possessed a character in a novel that my aide read to me then my life is already ruined.

"Hey, how old am I?"

I ask her coldly. Well, if I'm not mistaken... this is also how the original Elaine talk to her subordinates.

"You are 7 years old this year, milady."

As I thought... my life was totally ruined before it even starts.

Elaine La Rosaine, the villain's little sister. She's only appeared on the last arc.. when the villain got killed by the male lead.

'IS THIS HOW ELAINE FELT BEFORE? IS THIS DEATH?'

That's it. Gosh, how can I survive all this thing? You just give me this child's memory and leave me hanging here! Perfect!

I felt like my head will explode due to my hypertension since there was a commotion outside my room.

"Ellie? Is my daughter all fine? Are there any scratches on her body?"

A beautiful woman rushes inside and... running towards me?!

Wait!

"Elaine! Mother was shocked to hear that you fainted during the banquet!"

Tch, how funny... You are not Elaine's real mother.

Laura, the female protagonist's mother. The mistress for Duke Rosaine... or should I say, hidden lover?

How can I forget about her when my stupid aide always cursing this woman.

"Let... go... let me go."

I said as I pushed her away. The main reason is I hate someone who touches me without my consent... and Elaine's emotions... affect me...

"Elaine?"

I hug her tightly and whisper.

"Where's my mother? The real one."

Laura's face became pale as I asked her the question. There's one thing that Elaine didn't know until her death...

...That Laura isn't her real mother. That stupid aide always said how foolish Elaine was as she didn't care how the maids, servants, and Laura treats her.

No, she is not foolish to not understand them. That's the behavior of a person that hunger for affection.

Until she died, did she realize she never meant anything for her mother? More precise is the woman that she thought her mother.

"What are you saying? I am your mother, dear."

She said with a lovely and caring tone.

It's kinda surprising how well she can control her face... If you were in the 21st century, I will for sure take you under my care.

"It's funny how humans can be so ignorant... do you guys believe in stories with happy endings?"

I smile sweetly and caress her cheeks.

"Well, I don't."

Laura grits her teeth while her eyes staring at me like she really wants to kill me.

"What's with all these commotions?"

A low cold but masculine voice asking the question.

"Estian! I just come and visit Elaine because I thought she will be scared all alone."

The answer Laura gives is quite amusing. Lonely? There are more than 5 servants by my side.

While I was trying to control my emotion, the duke's eyes stare straight to mine.

"Are you lonely?"
