ILLEGITIMATE SON
"Fannie, do you know where is the Lord?" Theodora asked as she walked where Fannie was lighting up the lamps at the early hour of the evening.
She stopped upon hearing her mistresses' voice.
"No, My Lady. I have not seen him since afternoon." She replied.
Theodora was searching for Augustus everywhere in the manor, but his traces were nowhere to be found.
Stopping another maid passing by them, Fannie asked her about Augustus, to which she replied, "I saw My Lord going to the corner room on the third floor of his office building."
Dismissing the maid, Fannie waited for Theodora's response. If Augustus was in that room, then there was no way to bring him out of it till the morning. Theodora knew that he would run seeking repentance by drowning in the guilt and the fire of vengeance, that he was harbouring in his heart over the decades.
And whenever he chose to visit that part of his life, he went to that room where no other family members liked to step in.
