Chapter 84 (I FEEL LIKE A STRANGER)

“My Mum isn’t my Mum. The woman I grew up with isn’t my real Mum. She adopted me and worse of all, she killed her husband because of me.”

“Why is my life turning upside down? She didn’t raised me because she took me as a son, she raised me to marry me at the end.” He buried his face in his palms. “Why would she do something as awe full as that? Those kids already hates me, I’m sure they knew their Mum who abandoned them killed their Dad because of me.”

“Emily, I feel like a stranger in my own house. I don’t feel comfortable with Grandma again. I can’t even call her name again. What would Clara and Mona do when they find out I was the reason why their Dad died? Clara and Mona already doesn’t like me because Mum loves me more than them. And now the twins, none of her kids likes me. They all hate me.”

“I thought I was the luckiest person on Earth few days ago. I’m rich, a mum who loves me, Servants who did my bidding, a child to call me Dad and you.” Tears dropped from his eyes again.

“Emily, what should I do now? I don’t feel like going back to that house. I’m scared of what they would do to me later on. I don’t want to continue calling that woman Mum, and I don’t want to call her Mum Grandma. Those names feels so heavy in my mouth. I can’t say it in front of them again after knowing they aren’t my family.”

Emily was also in tears. It hurts so much seeing the person you love in tears. She stood up and hugged him.

“Harry.” She wrapped her arms over his neck. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you this. I’ve known this for a very long time now. I didn’t know how to tell you because you might not believe me. I know this is painful but you have to get a hold of yourself.”

“I don’t know how to do that. It fells like I’m the fault of all this. If she hadn’t adopted me, none of this would be happening.”

“Do not blame yourself. She adopted you for a reason.” Emily patted his back. “And the reason is to marry me at the end.” He sobbed. “No, she developed feelings for you when you became a teenager. She only wanted a male child that was why she adopted you and when her husband found out you were not his son, she killed him.”

“How do you know all this?” he asked. Emily lifted up her head from his shoulder “I read her diary,” she said. “Where did you find her diary?” He was surprised. Even he wasn’t allowed to touch it.

“Naomi took it from her room when I was still at the servant's quarters. I want to know what was written in the contract you made me sign and she volunteered to go bring it from her because she too wanted to tell their Mum a piece of her mind. I don’t know how she managed to take the diary but she brought it back,” Emily explained.

“Is there other things I don’t know which is in the diary?” he asked her. “Yes, a lot.” She touched his face. “Can you bring it to me? I have to read it.” He requested. “It’s with Naomi but I can get it for you when we go home.”

“Do not cry again my love, I don’t want to see your tears again. You have me now and everything will be fine, I’m always here for you.” She cleaned his face with her palm.

“Are you sure you will never leave my side?” he asked and Emily nodded her head. “I’ll never leave your side, I’ll always be there for you.”

“Even when everyone turns their back on me?” he asked. “Yes, we only have each other. I also don’t have a family. You and Jeff are the only ones I have.”

“I love you, Emily.” He touched her face. “I love you too, Harry.” Emily brushed her nose with his. “Can I?” he asked and she nodded her head. Harry lifted his lips closer to hers and kissed her.

8:04pm, Emily opened her eyes. She turned around but didn’t see anyone in the room. That wasn’t her room. She looked down at her chest but she was covered with a duvet. She lifted it up and nearly scream.

She covered her mouth and sat upright quickly holding the duvet to her chest. Her dresses were on the floor by her right. She remembered how it all happened. From kissing to cuddling and then Romance. That was her first time, she was scared and shy at the same time.

“Are you awake?” Came his voice from the balcony. Each of the rooms has a door that leads to the balcony. Emily couldn’t answer him, she has lost her voice. She wanted to stand up and go to the bathroom before Harry could come out but unfortunately, he did came out.

He was tying a towel on his waist while in his hand was a coffee mug. Harry leaned on the wall, he winked at her and Emily covered her face in shame.

“I saw them,” he said and when she didn’t answer him, he continued speaking. “I saw the apples you refused to show me that day,” he said with a mischievous grin but Emily didn’t lift up her head.

“Oh don’t worry, I didn’t release inside you.” Emily lifted up her head, she picked up a pillow and threw it at him. “Go away!” she yelled at him. Harry started laughing. The sound of his laughter was that of satisfaction. He left the room to the living room laughing so hard that someone outside could hear him.
