RECAP
“Your Highness!” The Librarian called. “The file is not here!”866Please respect copyright.PENANA9ofMJ0VsVs
“What do you mean it’s not here?” I stalked angrily over to her. Under my mother’s name was all of her employees names, but Blair’s was nowhere to be found. What the fuck? Did she lie to me about being a maid?866Please respect copyright.PENANAnYK2fa50nZ
“Maybe there was a mistake-”866Please respect copyright.PENANA5FMDIpE8p2
“No,” I interrupted her. “This isn’t a mistake. She never was a maid here and she probably was never my mother’s friend in the first place!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAIa9CZsOX5U
“Who wasn’t my friend?”866Please respect copyright.PENANA9m6ZrGNFPS
We both whipped around to see my mother, in all her bitchy glory, standing at the entrance of the vault with her arms folded tightly across her chest. “Just what is going on here?”866Please respect copyright.PENANAuHkMqVLQH8
Ah shit!
Chapter 19 - Truth
“Emilia,” My mother glared at the librarian. “You know that it is absolutely forbidden for others to be down here,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAxwVjmFJJmP
“I-I-I’m so sorry Your Majesty!” She cried as she threw herself to the ground. “The Princess threatened my job if I didn’t bring her here! I didn’t know what else to do, I couldn’t afford to lose my job!”866Please respect copyright.PENANALw2ru7zkm4
Fucking snitch!866Please respect copyright.PENANADFJoDPOlBg
“Did she now?” My mother said laconically as she averted her glare towards me.866Please respect copyright.PENANAUX9g5REzGc
“Yes she did!” I spat at her.866Please respect copyright.PENANARzCC8tIpcr
I watched her plastic face become red in anger as she clenched her fists tightly against her sides. “Emilia, wait out in the library for me, we’ll talk then, I need to have a little chat with my daughter,” She spat out the word daughter with so much venom and hatred.866Please respect copyright.PENANAEJtDdwDcqj
Emilia bowed meekly before scurrying out of the vault, shutting the door behind her. My mother and I stood facing each other, the tension in the air was so thick, you’d need a hacksaw to cute through it. Our identical crystal blue eyes that could probably turn someone to stone right now were boring through each others souls. Shit was about to get real.866Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ0eIWAtQQ
“What are you doing down here?” She growled slowly.866Please respect copyright.PENANA1kzpnOPkcI
“I DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU SHIT!” I raged as I quickly lost my temper.866Please respect copyright.PENANAvLyeXOECOC
She stalked over to me and grabbed my upper arm tightly. “Listen to me good and listen to me clear you fucking bitch,” She spat as her grip became tighter on my arm. “You will tell me what you were doing down here or else I will not hesitate to throw you out of this fucking palace and onto the damn streets!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAWjpImjXG9n
“Oh really?” I mused as I laughed at her weak threat. “I wonder how the public will feel about you putting their princess on the streets?”866Please respect copyright.PENANA9jG3RWRkq1
“Don’t kid yourself brat,” She scoffed. “They hate you, just as much as I do! They wouldn’t care at all what happens to you!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAEcKAfOeelu
“Ha!” I laughed again. “And what would you tell the public your reasoning for putting me on the streets? You don’t even know the reason why I’m down here. Heck, all I have to say is that I wanted it for research and no one would bat an eyelash,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAgyRLNgTUCu
She sputtered and gripped my arm tighter as she realized that I was right. “SHUT UP!” She screamed.866Please respect copyright.PENANAEAgAUX6wYs
“What’s the matter mommy dearest?” I said sarcastically. “Didn’t I once hear you say on camera that I love to learn about my family history and you do everything that you can to help me!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAZCiqgyBsmr
She’d said that on an interview. Lying straight into the camera with a straight face; I think it’s obvious where my amazing lying skills came from.866Please respect copyright.PENANALZ52c5Nopg
“Or was that just a lie?” I mocked as I tapped my finger against my chin. “I wonder what the public will say about that!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAq4y2azNaC4
“THEY CAN’T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING IDIOTS!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAqAlFYAL4cf
At this moment ladies and gentlemen, this dumb bitch just fell into my trap!866Please respect copyright.PENANAd4EXYjuCht
I took my other hand off the recorder button on my phone and waved it up in her face. “I wonder how the Heartlands would feel if they heard their queen calling them ‘fucking idiots’,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAsVozsg6D4G
Her eyes widened in horror as she released my arm and stepped away from me. “You conniving little bitch! You wouldn’t dare!”866Please respect copyright.PENANALjlOs34fTW
“Oh I would mommy dearest,” I laughed maniacally. “But if you want me to keep quiet about it, you’ll tell some things I want to know,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAExS70E3s2r
She grit her teeth as she stared at me. “What do you want?”866Please respect copyright.PENANAMwZdG8W5DW
“Who’s Blair Heavens?” I got straight to the point.866Please respect copyright.PENANAzI6Q6GdIMo
Her previous anger vanished as she stared at in astonishment. “H-How do you know that name?”866Please respect copyright.PENANAcy0szelHVQ
“Did she ever work as your maid?”866Please respect copyright.PENANAYxfxPcKdS1
“Work for me?” She scoffed. “She didn’t work for me! She worked for your father!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAWw7ZFUDO16
My father?866Please respect copyright.PENANAr4eFp0Uc9X
“What!” I gasped. “What do you mean she worked for him? She was his maid?”866Please respect copyright.PENANAEDqfn0jLpO
“Maid?” She spat. “She was his mistress,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAccOUpbSG9N
My eyes widened as I sputtered in shock. “Mi-Mistress? But I thought...wait, she was his mistress while he was married to you?”866Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kr1UnYo8T
“She was his mistress before I even married that bastard,” She spat.866Please respect copyright.PENANAN5xYsgTOJB
That bitch had lied to me! And I believed her! Damn, she was good. But why did she lie about it? In my memory, she was the one who had knocked my father out cold over his head. Did she hold some sort of resentment towards him?866Please respect copyright.PENANAvDOuKm2SsS
“I don’t understand?” I whispered as I tried to figure everything out, but not even my advanced intellect could decipher what was going. “This doesn’t make any sense. Why would she lie?”866Please respect copyright.PENANAAx0DxjsBIm
“How do you know Blair Heavens?” She glared. “And give me the truth,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAwpo7QGURtz
“She’s the mother of one of my friends,” I said truthfully. “I’ve met her a few times and we talked a bit,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAQFysec4qiS
That’s not exactly a lie.866Please respect copyright.PENANAfm8UcES1fk
“What did she tell you?” She urged as she stepped closer to me.866Please respect copyright.PENANACY7BSAWlxf
“She didn’t tell me anything!” I stepped back from her. “I remembered on my own. I remember father raping you and I remember her knocking him out cold with a vase and I remember her knocking me over my head with the same vase!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAZkdZeUQxfL
Instead of reacting shocked like I expected her to, my mother merely chuckled humorlessly. “That’s what she told you?”866Please respect copyright.PENANABquDgUOHAi
“That’s what I saw!” I glared. “And that’s what she confirmed,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAXbFEMRsXAZ
“Looks like you’re not as clever as you think you are,” She smirked. “Your father was not raping me, he was raping her!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAgYE6zJ6fw0
Once again I was baffled. “What!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAJUxU4H1rn2
“I remember that night very clearly. It wasn’t me on the bed being raped, it was her! It was me who knocked you both out!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAoPqpaCPJ7T
My brain was turning to mush as my heart beat erratically. Just what the hell was happening? “Tell me everything, the entire story about her,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAR7WNXefjGS
My mother sighed before reluctantly speaking. “Like I said, she was a mistress to your father, but she fell hopelessly in love with him. And even though she came from a rich family, I was still chosen to be his bride so she settled to just be his mistress,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAwKJIEdtIv9
She’s a crazy bitch! Who the hell could fall in love with a heartless man like my father? “Go on,”866Please respect copyright.PENANA2gaWYEsldJ
“She hated me with a passion,” She said nonchalantly. “And I hated her just as equally,”866Please respect copyright.PENANA4r3GpsjdlG
No surprise there.866Please respect copyright.PENANATUDW4mOzbw
“I knew that she wanted to be me, wanted to take my place on the throne,” She paced around the room. “She would even act motherly towards you and your siblings, as if you were her kids and not mine!”866Please respect copyright.PENANAR95laJWq7u
“It’s not like were a mother to us!” I spat. “And if she was so motherly, why can’t I remember anything about her? Why hasn’t Arty or Grace or even the twins ever brought her up?”866Please respect copyright.PENANATXdRxDeiAu
“I was getting to that!” She snapped.866Please respect copyright.PENANAuJx5BuCh1b
“What else about her?” I folded my arms, dismissing her bitchy tone.866Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sq8Xq9N5s
She sighed before speaking. “Over time, your father had begun to find Blair unattractive and would rather be with me than her, and she absolutely hated it! He eventually fired her and she completely lost her mind,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAujM1KVENGv
“Then how did he end up raping her?” I questioned.866Please respect copyright.PENANA0xw104z7DB
“One night, on your father’s birthday, he got very drunk, and as you know, he becomes violent when intoxicated. That delusional bitch, dressed up as me so that he would think he would be sleeping with her. But it got out of control. He got to violent and ending up raping her so badly that she was bleeding. That’s when you came wondering into the room and he started attacking you,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAD1ZmLa2NlD
“That’s why you hit him with the vase,” I whispered as the gears turned in my brain. “But why did you hit me?”866Please respect copyright.PENANALe5Govb4kZ
She turned her head to the side and glared at the ground. “I did it so that you wouldn’t remember what you saw,”866Please respect copyright.PENANA4HJEP2ZMgi
“Why?”866Please respect copyright.PENANAA669dYCzNM
“DON’T QUESTION ME I JUST DID IT!” She shouted.866Please respect copyright.PENANAJrqvtn49Sg
I was still trying to figure everything out so I wasn’t even bothered by her shouting. One little thing was floating in the back of my mind. A thought that I prayed to God was not true. “Blair said she left the palace because she became pregnant...is that true?”866Please respect copyright.PENANADxh9sOS81C
“Yes,” My mother nodded stiffly.866Please respect copyright.PENANAZkBpS7LkKA
“When did this party happen?” I whispered to myself.866Please respect copyright.PENANAiuwOrb3S7h
“September 1999,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAw3rHfPAPFm
I felt the bile rise from my throat. Oh God, my suspicions were confirmed.866Please respect copyright.PENANAikLj3MSYqw
“She conceived a child from that rape,” I tear rolled down my face. “She had a child on in January 1999, a son, named Lux Heavens,”866Please respect copyright.PENANAt7yukl7BWS
