The Rejected Orphan

Mrs Quinn paced forth and back in the room not able to sleep. " who the hell is she " asked Mrs Quinn furiously, she didn't know what was wrong with her son, may be he was either stupid or possessed. " I can't believe this" she didn't know what to think any more, " and you..." she turned to face her husband, " why are you protecting her? don't tell me you are possessed". Mr Quinn knew how crazy this wife of his can be but not as crazy as his son. When he married her Ryan was six, and Arya was ten, Ryan never approved of the marriage but he didn't have a choice, though he was calm, collected, brilliant, intelligent, and observant, he still welcomed her as his father's wife and nothing more. This has always been a headache to him, he just didn't know the solution to it. " now I get it, you don't wanna explain 'cause he's your son, you don't love me Richard, you don't" she wailed dropping to the floor, " it's not what you think hon" Richard walked to her and sat on his heels, " so, what is it" she asked bringing her head up to look at him, " he made me promise him" he paused and continued, " please stop crying, okay" and she nodded feeling light headed and sleepy.

'No this shouldn't be, this shouldn't be happening'

"Honey, I did nothing of such, please believe me. The evidence are not true, this people are framing me up, do something please.." she clutched his shirt as she pleaded.

He forcefully pulled his hand away from her, "Don't touch me" he felt like tearing this wife of his apart. "They framed you, indeed. Then what will you say about the tea you've been giving me, wasn't that drugged also?" He didn't know what was going on with him untill recently, and he's been doubting her since then. 'Oh God, what has he gotten himself into'.

"the tea wasn't poisoned, it was..."

"it was what? mm? how did I suddenly forget everything about my late wife, mm?" he questioned in a low voice, he just couldn't take it anymore.

"if you have more questions dad, you can ask her in the detention room" Ryan said to which the police men quickly handcuffed her and took her away.

"you will regret this Richard, I swear you will regret it.." she started shouting hysterically untill her voice could no longer be heard. 'Was this the kind of woman he had got married to? oh sh*t' Richard isn't the type that curse but right now was different.

He turned to his son who as usual was expressionless, "why didn't you tell me about this, why did you keep the truth from me."

"I didn't keep the truth from you rather you kept yourself from the truth while the truth was right in front of you"

Mr Quinn was shocked, he didn't know he was the cause of everything, thinking this he suddenly opened his eyes. 'this is a dream' he muttered to himself taking in a deep breath.

He has been sleeping in his office for closely an hour, he looked around his office and decided to look into the case, because recently his son has been acting weird to his wife, he also stopped calling her mother as he used to and was rarely seen at home. This couldn't be a coincidence, and this dream couldn't be just an ordinary dream. He called his assistant in.

"Sir"

"Jude, can you do me a favor"

"What do you want me to do for you sir" Jude immediately stood straight, it is rare to be asked a favor by his boss.

"Can you look into the death of my late wife" He said looking straight into Jude's eyes, "yes sir" Jude answered almost immediately.

"Good, look into it and give me the whole detail big or small, and also investigate her background"

'That should have been done before you got married to her' Jude thought to himself, but then he obliged "Yes sir"

"You can take your leave" Mr Quinn said and dismissed him.

FEW YEAR LATER

In the Royal palace sat Jason and his parents in the King's study room.

"Jason, you should get yourself a wife and take over your dad's position" stated the mother. "I think you should pester Dennis not me" Jason not liking the idea of getting married dragged his brother's name into it.

"Your brother already has a girlfriend"

"That's exactly why you should ask him to get married."

"aiyo what's wrong with you" the mother was getting more frustrated, this son if hers is really something. "Okay. what exactly do you want. I Know you wouldn't chose the throne why not get married?" she could only wish for him to choose the throne, he is more suited for the throne than his brother.

"You don't have to bother about me, okay?" he smiled at his parents, enjoying the expression on their faces. His father had a big frown on his face already expecting that and his mother.....felt disappointed.

"Aunty you need to rest, okay?" walking around the table, she gently massaged her aunt's shoulder. "You know you're not getting any younger, right? so.. you need to rest."

"You are now a grown up, I can't help but be happy at the same time but envious of your beauty." The smile on her face was something that made the young lady happy. She heard the older lady give a low soft laugh.

"Hey, you are not allowed to feel jealous nor envious"

"Let me admire your beauty dear, don't be stingy" The older woman pouted her lips like a child that was deprived of candies.

"You look cute doing that" She couldn't help commenting on how cute her aunt looked.

"Pfft.." She stared at the ceiling for some time, and exhaled loudly. Her niece really didn't change much. "The firm you applied for your internship accepted you" She commented

"Yes Aunty, they did"

She turned her head slightly and smiled at the grown Eli, she look more dazzling. Eyes seems to always gum on her whenever she is out on the street. Her long black her complemented by her brown eyes and smooth round baby like - face, she looks so innocent but behind that innocence is the words boldly written 'DANGER, DON'T MESS WITH ME' She knew better than anyone that the pretty damsel everyone is falling for is the devil they should be wary of, though she wouldn't blame the little one, experience is where the present and future is built on. She had passed through a lot of things at a young age, and she had no shoulder to lean on, she only had Aunt Mary and Lana as friends.

"Eli?" Aunt Mary called gently.

"hmm?"

"Joseph sent a letter earlier today and it's in the drawer." She informed.

"What letter is that"

"Go check it out yourself"
