CHANGE OF FATE

I thought everything I heard was a lie but as I read on the documents placed in front of me, I suddenly feel ashamed and weak. Ashamed because I even yelled at them but I feel so weak to digest all of this and think of a better solution. I tidied all the documents and bring it with me as I got up from my seat and turned to leave.

"Han Quing Shan!! don't you dare turn your back on us!" I heard them calling out my name but I just ignored them and continue walking down on these wide hallways of THEIR mansion.

I go to the room where I stay and pack all my belongings and I left all the things they gave to me. All this time I thought they are my real parents, I never even thought that this is the reality. That they are not my parents, for all those years I've been miserable just for them to take notice of me. Trying hard to catch their attention that was not suppose to be mine at all. Why did they hide it from me for that long? Why don't they just say it straight on my face? Why do they need to do this? Don't they want me to know the truth?

"Quingshan please don't leave" a soft voice approached as I continue packing all my things.

"Nanny don't make this hard for me" my mind screams as I put on the things on my luggage but I never had the courage to say it out loud because I know to myself that I cannot withstand all the things happening right now. I feel so numb, my mind went blank as I keep on reminiscing my life in this house. The house where I spend my childhood. The place where I live isolated to the world. The place where they hide my whole existence while they enjoy their family time having a tour around the world.

"Nanny Xi you know me and you know how thankful I am that I had the chance to experience this life, but I cannot hold on to this life knowing that someone is suffering because of me." I cannot let myself live like a princess now that I know I was never meant to be one.

"Is that your final decision" a cold voice said as I finished packing my things. That voice of the man which holds much authority, the man who helped me overcome my fear.

"My dear please don't do this we can keep the both of you, just stay here with us. Please listen to Mother" The girl said as she hugged me and beg me not to go. I hugged her as tight as I can this time, I want her to feel how much I love her and how thankful I am.

"Mom please do understand my decision" I said as I gently free myself from her embrace

"Quingshan please don't go!!!" Mother said as he was held by Father while i'm walking away from them.

From now on I will no longer be with them, no luxurious things, I will no longer live on this palace where I spend my youthful days. From this day and onwards I will be Liu Quing Shan the girl who had been exchanged to the Han family's true heiress. Now all I have is my name, Mister Han and Madam Han told me that the true heiress Han Ruoxi grew up in orphanage. When they search for other details about my real family all they've got was the name Liu Zhiyin. And with all this I will start anew. Far from them and all this heartache. This time my life would begin here.
