BRIAN POV
“Tell me what happen? You wouldn’t be acting this way If some thing isn’t going to happen”She said
“Not now Emma,I will tell you later”I said
“Does it have to do with you?”she asked
“It has to and if am going to explain,I will have to do that in full, That’s why it can’t be now cause I have to see some one first”I said
“But Brian…..”I stopped her from asking more questions by giving her a kss
“When I get back I will tell you every thing okay”I said
Leaving the room I went in search of my father
I had to confirm what that man said to me, Could my father really be so cruel as to kill his brother to get his way?
That can’t be! He had told me that he was suppose to be given the throne but his brother had taken it
And when his brother and his wife died and my father took up the throne
I thought that was because it was his right,After all Gilbert had taken it from him but now am thinking other wise
As soon as I got to his chambers,I didn’t bother to knock or to announce my arrival
I just went in cutting short the meeting he was having with one of the ministers
“What’s this Brian! Can’t you see that I have a guest”He had asked
“Can you please leave us alone,I have some thing important to talk about with my father”I said
“Can’t it wait?”My father asked
.
“It certainly can’t wait!”I replied and quickly the guest he had left the room
“You will have to explain what this disrespect is all about?”he asked
“I will explain”I replied
“I got a call from our friend”I said
“Which friend?”
“The one who knows what happened twenty years ago”I said
“You have been contacted again?”
“Of course,Did you think that that person will let every thing go”I asked
“Tell me what did he tell you this time”he asked
“He told me a lot and i need answers father “I said
“What exactly did he tell you”
“Did you kill your brother just to get the throne ?”I asked
“Wh……what rubbish are you saying”He said quickly and I knew that he was lying
Due to the shock,I sat on one of the chair ,starring at him
“This can’t be true!”I yelled angrily
“What are you thinking? I didn’t do it”
“You did dad! That was why you never liked that little girl,If we hadn’t come back she would have been the one in the throne ,Not me!”
“I finally get why you hated her,I always wondered why but now I do”
“Its all because she is the rightful heir to the throne!”I yelled finished
“Yes it’s all because she is the rightful heir,I hated the fact that she was alive,I hated it,I got rid of my brother just to secure your future”He said
“I didn’t ask you to kill to secure for my future”I yelled at him
“But I did and if I have the same opportunity again I will do it “He said
“You don’t even feel remorseful,You destroyed some one just to achieve your aim”I said
“And what Hurts most is how you treated that child,You even made me hate her,You made me believe that she was the enemy when you are the real enemy”I said
“You ungrateful brat,You should be thanking me,I made you what you are today,I took out every hurdle just for you to be here”
“I never asked for it,We would have been much happier if we had never returned, You were once a caring and loving father but every thing changed when you became the king”
“Every thing in life has a price Brian”
“Not when it comes to destroying people lives,Father you ruined that little girl life”I said
“What does it matter now? The child is dead and so we must leave the past the way it should be?”
“Let me ask you just one thing?”
“What will that be?”He asked
“You didn’t try to save her from the fire because you wanted her dead right?”
I asked
“Unfortunately for me she had survived the car crash,She became a threat and so when the fire incident happened and it killed her,I just thanked my luck for it”He said
“You didn’t plan the fire incident?”
“Of course not,I didn’t”He said
“Odd,I just don’t believe you”I said standing up,Wanting to leave the ro
“What will you do with the information you have?”He asked
“I don’t know,I really don’t know?”I said as I left the room
EMMA POV
As soon as he walked into the room,I knew some thing serious was wrong with him
“Brian!”I called softly and his response was to walk towards me to hug me
“Will you tell me what happen now?”I asked
“Have wronged her,Have wrong her”He said as he cried softly in my arms
I didn’t bother to ask until he had finished crying
We sat on the floor in front of the bed,I still held him in my arms
“It all started twenty years ago”He began
“My father brother had died and he took over the throne”
“That must be Gilbert and Sharon ” I said
“Do you know about them?”He asked
“I just heard a little story from Grace but it’s not important,Keep on telling me about them”I said
“They both had a child who lived with us during that time”He continued
“We all had been cruel towards her, Father made me believe that she was an enemy and I fell for every one of his lies”
“He told me never to think of her as a friend and I did so,I treated her cruelly, We all did”
“In what way?”I asked wanting the know more
“Father always hurt her,He always did when I failed to do some thing right? If I failed a subject,She will be punished for it,If I didnt memorise a particular subject,She gets punished for it,She was always locked up In the storage room and some times my father made her starve ” He said and I gasped out In utter shock
He moved out of my arms to stare at me “how old was she? I mean the little girl?”,
“Five,We were really cruel right?”He asked
“How old were you?”I asked
“Seven” he replied and I hugged him tightly
“You aren’t to be blame,You were only a kid too”
“A kid who knew right from wrong,I joined hands with my father and we did harm on that poor child “He said
“You were only listening to what your father told you,Now I presume you know the truth”I asked
“She is not to be blamed,Every thing my father made me believe was all a lie”He replied
“And so what will you do now?”I asked
“I don’t know,There was a fire incident and I don’t know if she died or not”I replied
“If I want to ask for forgiveness,I can’t possibly do that right?”He asked as the tears fell from his eyes
It must have been hard for him,Asking forgiveness was the only way he could atone for what he did but that will seem impossible now,I thought
I cleaned his tears away and hugged him close
Neither one of us knew that we were both the two kids from twenty years ago.
