"Good morning miss. Master Jayden went to the office early. He said to not disturb you." Annie, one of our maids inford .
I was having a terrible headache when I woke up and I couldn't even stand up. I tried to at least sit on the bed but I suddenly got dizzy.
"Miss, are you okay? Should I inform Master Jayden?" Annie asked.
I took a deep breath and shook my head.
"No. No. He has to be at work today.. Can you call my father instead?"
Annie nodded and imdiately went out of the room. After a few minutes, my father and my sisters ca.
"What happened?" Father asked, worried.
It felt good to see that a parent was actually worrying about . My sisters' faces looked worried as well. They sat on the bed, stared at then touched my forehead.
"You don't have a fever. Are you not feeling well?" Venice asked.
I nodded and was just observing them. It's the first ti that a sister cared for . Venice was a few years younger than but she acts like she's older. Maybe because she grew up with two younger sisters.
"Where's the brat?" Father asked, looking around the bedroom.
I wanted to laugh when he called Jayden a brat. Maybe it's his term of endearnt to his son in law.
"He's at work, dad. He has a lot of papers he needs to sign before he takes a temporary leave." I answered.
"Can he do that? Will his boss allow it?" Venice asked, curiously.
I smiled when the girls looked at , waiting for my answer.
"He's the boss. I an he's the current CEO of A.E Corporation but he's still under Luke."
The girls' eyes widened in surprise. I didn't know that they didn't have an idea what Jayden does. I looked at my father and I knew he knew about it. He was just standing there saying nothing but I'm sure he investigated all of us.
"Luke? As in Luke Wilson? The chairman of Wilson Group? You are friends with them? And his wife, the Ice Princess?" Veronica exclaid.
I chuckled. They looked so happy knowing that I am friends with Luke and Alora. Their faces were still full of innocence and ignorance.
"Yes. Jayden and I were friends with the Wilson's."
"Oh my! Then you're friends with Percival Jackson and Andrew Cross?" It was Venice who asked and almost yelled in excitent.
"Girls! Your sister needs rest! Stop asking her those unnecessary questions!" Father scolded.
The girls' beca quiet while pouting. I can still see so fear from them towards our father but I guess it wasn't easy to change your impression towards soone overnight.
"It's fine, dad. Don't worry, I'll invite them here and introduce you to them. Or maybe they will co this weekend. Alora will definitely visit if she found out I'm bedridden for now."
The girls' faces lit up. I could see their excitent and thrills when I said that my friends will co over soon.
"I sent a ssage to your husband so he could co ho early. For now, Venice will stay here to assist you." Father said while taking his phone inside his pocket.
I didn't realize I was staring at him. I was beginning to slowly get to know the real him and I was really glad about it.
"What?" He asked.
I bit my lip to stop myself from laughing.
"I was just wondering how you got Jayden's number. Are you text buddies now?"
"No! I have his number because he insisted on exchanging numbers, threatening that he won't allow to see Caden. I don't think I can get along with that stubborn husband of yours! He's like his mother." His last sentence has sadness in it, rembering Lucia.
He really loved Lucia like a little sister. I just didn't see it before because I was consud with hatred towards him.
"I'm sure he just wanted to ask you more about his mother. Like you, Jayden loved her very much." I comnted.
I suddenly wanted to talk to him about my mother. He talked about Lucia and I can see that she was really so important to him. But I never heard him say sothing about mom.
"Dad, can we talk? Just the two of us?" I asked, looking at my sisters.
They easily understood what I ant. Venice gave a reassuring smile before going out of the room.
"You want to talk about your mom?" Father was the one who opened up first.
Maybe he wanted to tell about mom. All I knew about her is that she's rebellious and slept with a lot of n. I wanted to know if she did sothing good when she was alive.
"Yes. I know you said before that she slept with a lot of n. I know that she's rebellious and all. Is there sothing else about her aside from that?" I asked.
He walked towards and sat on the chair beside the bed. He stared at then took my hands and smiled.
"You look like her except your eyes of course." He chuckled because my eyes were blue like his.
"Your mom was rebellious but she was loved by the people of Flousia. She was a free spirited woman and loved the outdoors. Rose was her favorite flower. She said it reminds her of the book Beauty and the Beast, it's her favorite. We actually t in the school library. She bumped into when she was hiding from her guards. Won were swooning over and n feared when they saw but there were two won and two n who weren't." He continued.
I frowned when he said two n. I know one was Jayden's father, who was the other man?
"It was your father."
I was surprised. I know he's talking about my foster father, Benjamin. I didn't know that he also had connections with them before. I thought he was just a guy who t mom by accident.
