Chapter 113 (THIS IS MY FATE)

“Gosh! What an evil woman.” Aunt Gloria shook her head Disappointedly. “The family will now live in leave since she’s dead.” Aunt Gloria’s husband said.

“What did Clara and Mona do?” she asked Emily. “Clara said that wasn’t the kind of death she wished for her. She said she wanted her mum to suffer in sickness and due lonely. She said her Mum wanted to kill her husband and she had to send him out if the country.”

“Oh no. What sort of a mother is she.” Aunt Gloria’s husband shook his head. “Evelyn is a wicked soul. It’s a good things she took her own life.”

Harry has just returned from work when he saw Michael sitting on the sofa in the sitting room watching a program in the television. He wanted to walk past him but decided to talk to him.

“Hi,” he said to Michael. Harry didn’t wait for him to reply, he went and sat next to him. “Michael, are you also angry with me?” he asked him. “I’m not angry with you but I can’t help it but hate you whenever I see you,” he said.

“Do you hate me even now?” he asked him. “I don’t know. I just hate the fact that our Mum killed our Dad because of you,” he said. Harry sighed, he lowered his head and exhaled.

“But what if Clara and Mona decided to hate you because Mum killed herself because of you, what would you and your sister do?” Harry asked him.

Michael raised up his head, he looked at Harry and became speechless. Harry was right. Even if Clara doesn’t care about that, Mona would and she would treat them the way they treated Harry.

“I didn’t say this go force you not to hate me. I would have hate myself too but nothing is my fault. She was the one that adopted me, I was just a toddler by then. I wouldn’t have followed her if I was already a grown up.”

Harry looked at him and continued.

“If we start hating each other now, we would only hurt ourselves in the future when we need each other’s help. Mum is gone, she left without explaining anything to anyone. She left without telling Grandma, Clara and Mona I was adopted. She left without telling them she was the one that killed her husband.”

“Don’t you know I am the one everyone would blame? I have no one. I have no parents or siblings. I’ll only be left alone. I only have Jeff and Emily now. Do you also want to depart from my life? I know no one will stay with me if the truth came out,” Harry sighed.

“Michael, I don’t know what else to do. I’m already scared and depressed. How I wish I can turn back the time for Mum to make everything right. But I think, this is my fate.” He stood up.

“Thanks for giving me your time to talk about my pain. I hope you understand.” Harry talked Michael’s shoulder and went to his room.

Michael sighed, he shook his head. Harry was right, what if Mona found out their mum killed herself because of them?

“What should I do now? It wasn’t Harry’s fault. How can I stop myself from hating him every time I see him?” he exhaled. Michael couldn’t watch the movie again and so, he left to his room.

In the evening, Harry went out of the apartment. He went to the garden which has already turned wither because it got no care ever since the servants left. He heard someone sniffing and he followed the sound.

And just at the back of the Quarters, he saw someone crying there. The person had the back leaned on the wall while sitting on the bench.

Harry approached the person, he wondered what a normal person would crying for in the dark. He tapped the person’s shoulder and Michael lifted up his head.

“Michael?” He was taken aback. “What’s wrong? What happened? Why are you crying in the dark?” He was confused. Michael cleaned his face with his sleeve and looked at him.

“Harry, I’m sorry,” he said in tears. “I should have known that it wasn’t your fault that Dad got killed. But it’s not too late right?” Harry nodded his head. “Then you and I can now become friends right?” Harry nodded his head again.

“I’ll never hate you again.” He sniffed. “Harry, can you please take me to Emily? I want to apologize to her. I was mad at her because I can’t take her side and leave my sister alone. Emily loved is, she cared for us like a mum would care for her kids.”

“But because Naomi hates the fact that you guys are dating, I also hated it. Naomi wanted Emily to just take vengeance on you for making her sign the slave contract but she fell in love with you at the end,” Harry giggled.

“Michael, do not cry again. Emily isn’t angry with you. And I promise to take you to her place very soon,” Harry promised. “What about tomorrow?” he asked.

“I have meetings at the company tomorrow. Let’s go in the next tomorrow,” she said and Michael nodded his head. “Alright, let’s go back to the house.” Harry held his hand and they went back together.

Grandma saw Harry holding Michael’s hand as he escorted him to his room. She smiled and her mind became cool.

“Finally, Michael has come back to his senses,” she smiled. She waited for Harry to come out of Michael’s room but he didn’t come out on time. She felt sleepy and went to her room.

Few minutes after she went to the room, Harry came out of Michael’s room. He went to his room and smiled.

“This will turn out good.” He sat on his bed smiling happily. He wished Emily was there to see that. “Emily,” he smiled. He checked the time but it was already 10pm. “She might be sleeping now.”
