Unforgettable past

By the way, Rei-nee, you said you would tell me my father's story later. But you didn't talk about it." I curiously asked. 

I know that she will tell me how my mother and father ended up in a relationship, when my mother was already married. That time I didn't ask more because mom was beside me. I don't want her to feel ashamed. So, I think it's the right time to ask. 

"Oh, I did forget to talk about it. It's about how your father and mother ended up cheating on both of their partners. Well, I don't think it's cheating. Your mother was the victim. Before I start telling the story, I have to tell you, please don't hate your mother and father. Both of them were emotional that time. It's not like cheating is uncommon in this world. You see, males always have more than one partner within nobles. So, I don't think they were wrong. The one who was wrong is the situation." Rei-nee warned me. 

"I told you that I wouldn't hate them. They might have reasons. Without them, I wouldn't have been born from the beginning." I replied. 

"Okay, let's see. It's a love story between two friends called A and B," Rei-nee said. 

"Why A and B? You could use their names directly," I advised. 

"It's troublesome to use real names. I tend to forget the name." Rei-nee replied. 

"Okay." 

"The girl A was born into a low-level noble family within the Silverstorm family. She was intelligent and beautiful from the beginning. She was a girl that everyone would like to have. Her family was proud of her. 

On the other hand, boy B was born into the Silverstorm family. He was the 2nd son of the duke's family. He was also beautiful and talented. He was far more talented than the official heir, I mean his older brother C. But he did have a complex. He looked more like a girl than a guy. Because of them, when he was little he was teased by other boys. But Girl A has always helped him. Both of them became friends when they were little. Then they entered middle school. They have a few friends. They were really happy. Everyone was sure that Girl A and Boy B would get married in the future. Both of them are intelligent. They were always together. So, before they know it, they fall for each other. It was a happy love story. If it wasn't for the elder brother, C. C was really a perverted person. His behavior started getting worse. Even though he had a wife and daughter, he started raping girls from various families. Most girls attempt suicide. Day by day, his character was getting worse. He started kidnapping random girls and turning them into prostitutes. He was the heir of one of the duke's family. He also got the son of the Yellowlion duke's family as his accomplice. No one dared to object to them. 

Because of this, Girl A's father got worried. He was worried that C could rape his own daughter and make her a slut. So, he decided to marry her off to a low-level noble from the Blackforest family." Rei-nee explained. She stopped a bit at that point. 

"That family is the Scarlet family." 

"Yeah. The Scarlet family was under Blackforest family. C won't be able to put his hand on A if it's a family under Blackforest family. If it was a family under Silverstorm and Yellowlion house, C would easily blackmail A's husband and rape her. But he won't be able to do that if it is under any other duke's house. 

A's father thought that was the only way to save his daughter. So, he did that. But it triggered A and B's love. Until then, they know that they love each other. But now they realized that what they thought was friendship was really love. A didn't want to get married but she could not object to her father. Because her father chose the right option. B couldn't do a single thing, because his older brother is the main culprit here. Before the marriage, while wearing the wedding dress, A goes to B. She proposed to him while crying. She knew that she wouldn't be able to live without him. B accepted. But within a few hours, A will get married to a guy called D. They don't know what to do. They were panicked. A proposed that they should run away. It was the only way for them to be together. But B didn't have the courage to hold her hand that time. 'A' tried to explain that right now no one would accept them. But in the future, B will be able to return to his home. But B didn't want to run away. So, their relationship only lasts for a few minutes. After that, 'A' felt like she was betrayed. She did everything she could do. As a girl it was really hard for her to make up her mind to run away. She prepared herself for every way. B just has to take her hand. But she felt like B rejected her. So, finding no way, she decided to marry D. After marrying D, she felt like she was broken. She used to be a very cheerful girl. But now she could hardly let her emotion out. She had a very good husband but she wasn't able to love him. It was like one-sided rape every night. She has to entertain a man she doesn't even love. 

On the other hand, B regrets his choice. He felt like he had lost something that was more important than his own life. He wasn't able to look at A's eyes due to regret. Even after A's marriage she continued her studies. So, he was able to meet her. But it was too late. Right now, she is what he could not achieve. She was already out of his hand. So, he decided to punish those who were responsible for this situation. He gathered some nobles under his family and legally complained about C's behavior. After a few days, his work paid off. The head of the Silverstorm family announced that the future head would be B instead of C. That enlarged C. But he could not complain. After that, B married one of his friends. One year and a few months later, A gave birth to a girl. That's your older sister. Few months later, B's wife gave birth to twins. It was a girl and a boy. Everything was normal. Except B. He tried to be a good husband. But in the end, he wasn't able to be a good husband. He wasn't able to enjoy himself while having a husband and wife relationship. He knew that the only person he truly loved was A. Without A he wouldn't be able to live happily. So, he made up his mind and this time he proposed A. He knew that what he was going to do was wrong. He was trying to steal A from D. But he could not control himself. This time he asked A to divorce D and live with him. He promised that he would make her his wife and live happily. But A refused. Because living all these years with D, she started falling for D. After all, D might be a little pervert but he wasn't a bad guy in any way. D was really a good husband. 

That made B jealous. The devil inside the B awakened. He used his family power to kidnap A. He raped her. That's the only way he could have A. That was not a safe day for A. B took A's happiness again. But A could not hate him. After all, he was the person whom she used to love most. All she could do was endure. Before B realized what he had done, it was already late. He took the happiness of the person he loved, because of his own happiness. He left that place while panicking. After a few months, A gets to know that she is pregnant. D was happy. He thought it was his own. But A wasn't happy by any means. But she couldn't destroy that child. So, she decided to give birth to that child. After that, a cute boy was born." Rei-nee stopped in the middle. 

"Don't tell me..." 

"Yeah, it's you.  After you were born D, I mean Simon Scarlet was really happy. He really loved you. But at that time, your mother, I mean A, felt ashamed of herself. She wasn't able to forgive herself. And at the same time, she couldn't forgive you either. She thought of you as filth. But she wasn't able to kill you. Day by day, you started to look like you B. D didn't really care at first. But he started to suspect later. He did your DNA test secretly. Then he found out that you were not his own child. He felt his heart broken. Even though he tried to be a good husband. Even though he loved his wife so much. His wife cheated on him. So, day by day, he starts to hate you. He tried to convince himself that it was your fault. So, he started torturing you. At that time, your mother hated you too. So, she didn't stop him. Simon-san even tried to kill you. When you were a child. But you survived. It was like a miracle," Rei-nee explained. 

So, he tried to kill me too. I don't remember a single thing. No, I do remember something. It was a snowy night. Maybe it was that night. 

It was the night when I first met the angel of death.
