Chapter 101 (GLAD YOU ARE GONE)

He looked at Emily with tears in his eyes. He wanted to speak but his lips were shaking too. Every part of Harry’s body were shaking.

“She’s dead.” The maid announced and just then, Grandma, the twins and the other maid entered the room. “Who’s dead?” Grandma asked. They moved aside and she saw Evelyn lying lifelessly on the floor.

“She committed suicide. Everyone, move away from there.” She commanded. The maid managed to stand up but Harry couldn’t. Even though Evelyn hurt him before dying, he still felt as if it was his Mum that died.

“Emily, get him out of there,” Emily nodded her head. She moved closer and helped Harry up. She took him out of the room to her room and closed the door.

“What are you still waiting for, get back to your rooms,” Grandma ordered them and they all departed to their rooms. The other maid helped her colleague to her feet and took her back to their room.

After everyone has left, Grandma closed the door. She went to where Evelyn was lying and knelt there. She lifted up the hair covering her face and saw some whitish Liquid drawing from her mouth to the floor.

“You killed yourself.” She chuckled. “You decided to take your own life instead of apologizing to your kids right? Evelyn, you’ve proved to me that you are a wicked soul. There you go, tell the Lord what you did on Earth and receive your punishment.” She wiped the tears that dropped on her face.

“Why am I crying for a heartless person? Evelyn, even in death I hate you. You are not part of my kids. I should have disowned you long again since you started growing up and started showing your real self. I’m happy that you are finally gone. No one will give me an heartache again. I now have only your sister left, my lovely child that listens to me all the time.” She stood up from the floor.

“The last thing I will do for you is tell your kids you are dead and attend your funeral. I won’t pray for you because you don’t deserve it. Evelyn, let’s not cross paths again even in after life.” She turned her back on her and left the room.

As Grandma has promised, she called Mona and Clara and told them to come home Quick. She didn’t tell them their Mum was dead. She waited for them at the living room and it took them another hour to come.

“Emily, that woman is dead,” Harry cried. “Don’t cry, take heart.” She patted his back. “She should have at least apologized to the kids. She should have told them she was behind their Dad’s death. She should have told them I am not her son before she died but she preferred taking her own life than tell the whole world what she did.” He sniffed.

“Do not cry, they’ll find out someday.” She blinker her eyes to stop the tears that had gathered in it not to come out. “That’s the problem. If they find out now, they will blame me for that.”

“Harry, you have me and Jeff. Do not think about that. They won’t blame you, you weren’t the one that took his life.” She sighed.

“Harry…” They heard Screams from the living room again. “See? Mona and Clara are here. How can I look at them when I know that their Dad died because of me.” He cleaned the tears on his face. “You’ll look at them just the way you’ve always done. Let’s go.” She stood up, help his hand and took him out of the room.

“Harry! Mum’s dead!” Mona ran to him as soon as he stepped down the stairs. She hugged him and buried her face on his chest. “Mum’s dead!” she cried. Harry lifted up his teary face, Clara was sobbing on a sofa. Her two kids were beside her while Mona’s child was with the girl that came with her.

Apart from the three who were crying, no one cried. Naomi and Michael stood behind the sofa looking at the women who were their elder sisters.

Grandma watched them cried, she shook her head time to time. She would have shut them up but left them alone to mourn their mother. All she wanted was Evelyn’s body be taken out of the house and buried.
