Chapter 35: Truth revealed
"You almost blew the whole thing up dad!" cried Brandon, "We've promised Stella that we are not allowed to tell Joy anything, especially what is our relationship between us and her!"
"We've tried to," explained Erendor, "But she inherited your clever brain, son. We are unable to stop her from suspecting, you know that? She figured that we are related to her, and she also figured that we know who her father is!"
"Even though she ask, she'll never know what's the truth as long as neither of us tell her anything, I repeat, anything." Brandon strongly reminded his parents, knowing that Joy will be unable to take the blow after knowing the fact that Brandon is her father, and how she was created. "I don't care how clever is she, how scheme is she, we must keep that awful truth from her."
"But son I—"
"If you excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom." Brandon spoke, and walks off.
"My two sons have such aggressive behavior! I wonder where the hell did they inherited from?" Erendor yelled,, who is pissed of for his sons' attitude.
Solara just looked up at her husband, speechless. Because she clearly knows that it was from Erendor after all, by judging his behavior.
"Honey, I think I'll just go and look for Sky." She speaks, "I'll check whether if he had got his gifts for our little brunette." Then she walks off.
Joy's POV
I look around the room, wow, are you sure that they call this a hotel room? There's a living room, dinning room and more!
I felt a little uncomfortable while mama was carrying me, and holding me tight. Looking through my mama's eyes, I can see that she's afraid. What is she afraid of, I wonder?
"Mama, put me down!" I said, "I prefer walking by myself."
Mama just smiled and put me onto the ground, but still, she won't let go that hand of mine.
Suddenly, I felt something weird from my stomach. Uh oh, I think I need to go to the toilet.
"Mummy!" I stopped walking, and look up at mummy. "I want to go to the toilet."
"Do you need someone to accompany you then?" asked mama, I shook my head and smiled at her, let's just say that I kinda know this place too well.
"No mama, I know where is it." I smiled.
"But be careful, okay?" mama smiled, and I smiled back and runs off.
I hope that I am able to fine the room that I've been there once; I remember there's a big bathroom there. Oh, not to mention their big princess bed.
Just then, I stooped and look at my right. Hey, there's a door there! I think this is the room that I've been looking for!
I open the door, and to my surprise it's another room, but bigger. Wow, can't this hotel get any bigger?
Ugh, I need to go to the toilet as soon as possible! I don't care anymore, as long as there's a bathroom!
I quickly run in and didn't bother to observe the surroundings. I just saw that there's a bathroom straight in front of me, and I just want to go there, that's all.
Sky's POV
I walked into my bedroom, as usual grabbing my favourite magazine and lay onto my comfortable bed. Why should I bother about that little brat's gift at the first place? I mean come on, she doesn't know that I'm her uncle, and I'll just give her some stupid things like… teddies? I heard that she, Stella and Brandon shares the same thing. Oh well, I'll just grab that teddy that Joyce gave it to me earlier. Geex, why did she gave it to me anyway? Oh well.
"Geez, as long as I didn't say what really happened that night, I won't be blamed. Now back to the plan, how am I able to get rid of that little brat?"
"What do you mean that you have to get rid of that little brat?" suddenly a voice spoke.
Shit… It can't be.
Damm, it is him.
What the fuck have I said?
"I mean… I mean…."
Suddenly, he pulled up my collar and pushes me against the wall, looking at me sternly.
"Why do you have to get rid of Joy? What are your fucking intentions?"
"I…. I…."
"What do you mean that you won't be blamed, as long as I didn't say what really happened that night."
"Bro… cool down. I didn't mean anything… I was just talking about—"
"Why would you want to get rid of Joy then if you didn't say anything?" He yelled. "You better tell me, or else…"
"What happened?" Cried another voice. Great, my savior is here.
"Mum, help me! Brandon has gone berserk!" I yelled, but immediately keep my mouth shut after Brandon gave me that deathly glare.
"Brandon, put your brother down immediately!"
"Mother, he admitted that he wanted to get rid of Joy, and he had something to do with that night! I heard him murmured that!"
"Sky, is that real?" My mum looked up at me.
"Mum no!" I tried to deny, "Brandy was just—"
"You better tell the truth before I kill you, you bastard."
He just won't stop giving me that deathly glare, oh shit. Should I use my boxing skills on him? But… his my brother! And fuck, he learns all type of kung fu that would kill during his high school years; I was one of his defeated opponent!
"You won't say a single word, is it?" he snapped.
"Okay okay, fine, you win!" I cried, as he was about to give me that punch. "I'll tell you everything, anything!"
Finally, he lowed down his fist, but still holding on my collar. I took a deep breath, decided to tell him the truth in order to save my life.
Cause if he say he'll kill, it is no joking matter. I still remember that he beat up that dude Lance, who said nasty things to Stella. Because of those words, he is still doing therapy… Brandon would have been in jail now if dad wasn't so protective of him….
"SAY IT!"
"Okay okay!" I choked. While mum still look at the both of us, worried.
NORMAL POV
"I was just trying to seek revenge on your Stella during that night. So…. During that party, I've spiked Stella's drink. I just wanted her to show her temper in front of you, so that the both of you will have a little tiff. But… But…"
"BUT WHAT?" Brandon yelled, even louder.
"At that party night, I thought I spiked on Stella's drink! Instead, I've accidentally spiked on yours and that's why... you raped her! Got it, god damm it!" Brandon then recalled the drink that he drank during that party night. That is why he suddenly became so drunk after he had a few cups of alcohol. That is why he can't remember anything during that night.
Furiously, Brandon punched Sky's face, then on his stomach for a few times.
"Brandon, stop!" His mother yelled. Finally, Brandon dropped down Sky. His mother ran to Sky and held him up to the bed, while Brandon still give Sky that look.
"Why could you do such a thing, son?" Solara yelled, looking at Sky who is groaning in pain.
"I… It was really an accident mum. I really didn't want that to be happen." Sky groaned, who is still in pain.
"It's your fucking fault."
"Brandon, Sky is just—"
"It's your fucking fault!" cried Brandon, looking at Sky furiously. "If you didn't do anything that night, I wouldn't have raped Stella, I wouldn't have let my daughter Joy got teased and bullied for not having a father! And worse, I wouldn't have hurt the both of them deeply! Fuck you Sky!"
When Brandon turned back, he then noticed that there is sound coming from the bathroom. He walked closer, and opened the door. A little brunette was looking up at him, as her eyes were filling with tears.
"Joy?" He yelled out surprised. Joy just pushes him away and ran out of the room.
"Joy!" he ran out too, chasing his daughter.
AN: Okay, I know it sounds bloody no sense that it all happened with Sky's murmur. But hey, Sky is that stupid, remember? Plus, there is a Chinese sentence saying that " Mei Zuo Kui Xin Shi, wei shen me yao xin shi?" (没做亏心事,为什么会心虚?) Meaning that why must you be afraid if you didn'tt do anything wrong at all. Obviously, Sky had done something wrong and he just can't stop thinking about it. That is why he murmured it out... and let it happened!
So yeah review? Okay maybe this is not my best chapter, but hey! I've used Chinese for the first time here, YAA!
So review for my awesome Chinese! LOL!
