Chapter 12

I can just imagine how their mouths are dropping upon hearing my words without me actually seeing it. And I am satisfied about it.

While feeling smug, I continued again,

"Yes, you heard it right.

we're biological siblings.

I'm Addison Williams, sister of Aiden Williams.

We are blood-related, not even a long-lost sibling,

we grew up together until he decided to pursue his dream here and I already visited him here a few times in the past, but this is the first time we encountered such a situation.

.

.

.

.

Furthermore, before we all forget. I would also like to address the reason why I flew here in the first place. There was this issue circulating that my brother is being accused of plagiarism. And I find the situation totally absurd.

Why?

.

.

.

Because I am Eidie W.,

the one who solely writes songs for Aiden." I pulled out some documents and showed it on the camera.

"Here is the evidence that I registered a trademark on this name so I can conceal my identity as a songwriter. Why would the singer be the one taking the blame for singing a song written for him?

.

.

I actually have no idea about the issue when I came here, it's just that my brother called me recently, saying he needed my company without telling me the exact reason why. As his words are very vague, I felt something is wrong so I came here to dig into it and also to comfort him. I came here to try to solve whatever problem he got into. And this is far from what I expected. Like, me? plagiarize? that is far from my personality.

.

.

.

Well going back,

Honestly, he can actually easily prove that he didn't plagiarize any song as I still have the original copies here with me which I can just give him *showing the compositions*

We will be posting pictures of this as well so you can check it for yourselves and decide who plagiarized who.

Again, going back, as you can see, he already has such evidence with him that can prove he is innocent. But even while having such, my brother chose to stay silent and just accepted the hate you are currently throwing at him. Even with this, he was still hesitant to show it as I never intended to reveal myself for some personal reasons, which he respects and he promised me he will never tell anyone.

But then, I can't tolerate it any longer so I decided to disclose it as I don't want any more roadblocks to my brother's career which I think I caused.

To add more, I wouldn't mind if his agency would file a lawsuit against the other songwriter who actually plagiarized my song and put the blame on my brother knowing he's at a disadvantage for being young and that no one would believe him. I don't know how they ended up having it, and will just let the court investigate this matter as I don't have anymore time to spare for this issue.

I hope everything ends here now so he can continue with his schedule as soon as possible as this already caused enough damage and it's not like you'll gonna compensate him for all this wasted time right?"

After the video, his manager thanked me and went back immediately to the company to upload it.

.

.

.

I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes. My body felt too heavy and I don't wanna do anything at this moment. I feel cold inside but there is an unexpected warmth beneath it.

I felt refreshed and afraid at the same time. I did something unexpected for the first time and I have mixed feelings about it. I wanna pat myself in the back, and hug myself, but my limbs aren't moving.

I originally planned to turn off all my gadgets because I'm not ready to face anyone, especially my parents, but

.

.

.

On the other hand, after contemplating it for awhile, I think by now my parents would have already heard about it. I can imagine how furious they currently are especially my father. Though they never really check what's happening to my brother, I believe this time it's different as my name was also inflicted. They monitor everything that happens to me as I'm in the palm of their hands.

Worst comes to worst is that they will fly here as they weren't able to contact me. Which is why I finally turned on my phone and face their confrontation.

.

.

.

I saw my mom's name pop up on my screen as soon as my phone turned on, and I answered it immediately so I can prevent them from coming here. It would be too troublesome if that happens and I have no way to stop them if they do.

"Hello? Addie, you!" she started but I tried to cut her off. "Mom," I said in a low tone.

.

.

.

"I'm sorry,

I wasn't planning to disobey you and dad. I promise I will still finish my master's degree and take over our company.

I..." tears fell from my eyes as I don't know how else to continue convincing my mom. I still have a little bit of confidence a few minutes ago but now that I'm hearing their voice on the other side, all the confidence I have left is gone. What I'm afraid of most is already happening. The little warmth was gone and all I felt is a chill in my spine. My parents saw another side of me that they never wanted to witness.

And there is no turning back.
