"Is she awake now?"
"This is all your fault, you scared her."
I heard a voice was yelling and I recognized it was my mom.
"Why my fault? You went here and trying to see whether my daughter was okay or not with intent on sending her to prison when you found she was okay."
I just don’t want to open my eyes as I can still hear them argue, I would rather roast those people at the board eting than this kind of drama, at least there I could learn and run the company well, just like what I’ve promised to grandpa.
"You are really out of mind. Can you even hear yourself?"
Dad said as he sounded so tired from arguing.
"Is it wrong to depend my daughter from you all, and you! Why can’t you defend my daughter from your own family,?!, Oh right you never cared about Jessie thats why"
She yelled in anger.
Can’t she have the decency? I know it is their house, but still I am asleep.
"Defend? I defended your daughter and hid her here betraying my own family and you dare question my care for your daughter?!"
Uncle said in a calm way but I can feel the anger in his voice that he has been keeping from a while ago.
"Who cleans your daughter’s ss whenever she bullies soone in her school?"
Oh, I never heard of that...
I thought I was the only one she bullied, not that I care as far as those people didn’t touch physically I won’t retaliate.
"Bully? Says who? Her?"
I can feel her pointing her finger at .
"Do you think I’ll just believe everything my neice’s says? What do you think of ? A fool?"
He said, damned this people can they just get out and let rest?
"I am not hearing any of you slandering my daughter.."
She said as she was still trying to defend her daughter.
I didn’t know that my family not only has got so low IQ, but also low in EQ.
Auntie has been guiltripping them for them to stop the case against Jessie.
"If you really care about her then why not ask for your brother to drop the suit against my daughter,"
This ti I can hear her scheming tone again.
"Can you hear her brother?"
I heard my dad asked as he sounded like he can’t believe what he was hearing.
Oh, please I can’t bear it anymore.
I open my eyes and glared at them.
"Luci, your’re awake!"
Mom said as she look at as sitting beside .
"Can’t you see I am sleeping here?"
I asked and looked at auntie who glared at .
"Ungrateful brat...This our house, not yours."
She said as she rolled her eyes on .
Now, she’s finally showing her disgust on .
"If I am an ungrateful, what are you? An ingrate?"
I said as my mom was helping to stand up.
"You! You! Is this the good daughter that you raised? Oh, never mind you never even raised her!"
She said as she even laugh sarcastically.
"Who raised is none of your business, why do you don’t even raised your own daughter."
I said and stared at her with no emotions on my eyes.
Does she think I never knew about her past life what she did?
I maybe young, but I am not fool.
Gradnpa always tend to say to that before I trust a person, I should know all about them, and if you can’t find a dirt on them, I should dig deeper.
This is why I don’t have any friends, as I know they were just approaching for my money and connections.
Blood related or not they were all the sa, it’s good that my parents are not trying to kill , as far as I know they didn’t even care about business as they were busy with their own.
Even my cousins from afar are even trying to dare to steal the empire from that by killing the empire would be there, too bad I am more a head than them.
I made a will, that if I died everything will be passed down to charity.
"Auntie, I know you have an animosity towards for taking your daughters place, but what can I do? grandpa was the one who chose ."
I said when I give her an emotionless look, but deep inside I want to smirk at her reaction, seems like I hit a nerve.
If she can fool uncle and everyone not and grandpa.
Grandpa can see through her that’s why her daughter wasn’t included in the will and besides, unlce has been slacking off ever since he had married her.
She always spends his money that his bank account was almost empty, but my grandpa loves his son that even how fool he was in love with his wife he still gives him so money.
She even went to so casino’s and played, she was even worst than my own parents for spending money, at least them they just didn’t want responsibility that’s why they even had in the first place, they didn’t want the responsibility of being the one to handled the empire.
"You! You get out!"
she yelled as she pointed her fingers on us.
"How dare you slander in my own house?"
She said as she was even gasping her own breath when she said those words.
"Own house?"
I asked and saw her stop from what she was doing.
"Are you sure this is still your house?"
I asked which made uncle loooked at her.
"What is she saying?"
Uncle asked her which made her stiffened and paled.
"What are you saying? Are you mad this is our house."
She said as she was denying the things that I still haven’t spilled yet.
"But why are you sweating, Auntie?"
I said as I looked at her while I raised on brow at her.
"What sweating? I am not. You ungrateful wench, get out of my house!"
She yelled on us as she was pointing at the door of the guest room.
"Before you throw us out be sure that this is still your house."
I said as I get my phone out from my pocket and dialed my butler’s number.
"Martin.."
I said as when I heard that the other line answered.
"Yes, Young Miss?"
I heard him asked as I looked at my Uncle who looks confused and my Auntie who looks like she’s constipated.
"Send them the file of the deed."
I said as I smirked at the two faced Aunt that I have.
Does she really think that I’d be more lenient to her now?
I had been trying to stop myself from spilling her rendezvous to different people, and her failure investnts using my grandpa’s na and Uncle’s money which is technically still grandpa’s.
I heard their phones sound as they seem to received the email that I request from Martin to be sent to them.
"You....!"
Uncle said as he raises his hand, but when he saw how his wife looks like he stoped it in the middle of the air.
"How dare you sold this house?!"
He asked as he can’t believe what his beloved wife did.
"What can’t I sell our own house?"
She said as she snapped at Uncle who put his hand on his chest as he seems to be in pain.
"You..!"
"You...-!"
Uncle said as he fainted and everyone in the room panick as well as his wicked wife.
I was the only one who was left standing there when-
"Luci.. What are you still waiting?"
Mom said as I saw dad panicking as he was calling the family doctor that we had.
I went out from the guest room and followed Mom to where Uncle’s room is, the doctor was just near as we all lived in the sa village that was owned by family, it’s just that the place we were currently leaving was at the highest part of this land.
I looked at the Jessies room again when I rembered sothing...
I tried shrugging it off from my mind, but it seems like it was really pulling to get it. I know I shouldn’t do it as stealing is bad, but subconscious and my body was telling to get that photo.
I looked at her bedside table as I took one of the photo of a man with a silver dark hair and red eyes.
I went out after I took it with .
Now, I am a thief and what did I stole? A damned picture of a man, I looked at the back photo and it has so na.
Hellion...
Where did I even heard that na before?
"Where have you been ?"
I was back to my senses when I heard Mom speak as I was standing in the lobby of the second floor.
"I was just not feeling oka.."
I said as I looked at her as she looks worried.
"How’s Uncle?"
"Your Uncle is stable now, too good Dr. Jun was about to co here, but Lerisa yelled and drove us out, your dad was already waiting for us outside."
She said like I was gone for many minutes for these things to happen.
I just went to Jessie’s room ...
Wait...
"We were waiting for you for almost twenty minutes, I just went here to look for you as you were just following a while ago."
She explained as we were on our way to the stairs.
I sighed, did I space out that long that I didn’t even notice the ti?
-----------
When we arrived that night I went straight to my room and do my routine when I rembered sothing.
I looked for the dress that I was wearing a while ago and I saw a maid was about to get it.
"Wait!"
I said as I stopped her from getting the dress/
"Young Miss."
She said as she bowed her head to .
I looked for the pocket and took out the photo and give the dress to the maid. I looked at the photo in my hand and went to my desk to get my laptop.
I typed the title that I read from the back of this photo and saw that it was from a book.
I searched for an online shop, to buy and after that I fell asleep while thinking the photo.
