CHAPTER 29 & 30
★ ★ ★ ★
She got to the dinning room only to see that apart from her parents there was no one else there to eat dinner with them.
“Everyone went to explore the town and decided on eating dinner out. Since gerald was busy in his room, and you were asleep, you two couldn’t go. So I decided to prepare something for you both. I hope you like it” Arabella mother explained, even as gerald pulled back her chair for her to seat.
Arabella knew her mother didn’t make an attempt to get near the kitchen to cook their dinner.
*So why is she lying?* Arabella thought as she picked up her cutlery only to hear her father say.
“Won’t you greet your father or am i too invisible for you?” He asked and quickly she got off her chair and moved towards him to kis-s him on the cheek.
“How are you you?? Dad?” She asked.
“Though it’s five years too late to ask. Am doing fine” He replied arrogantly.
Feeling like a fóól for asking, she went back to her seat while the staff came to serve them the food.
“Doesn’t it smell good? It’s a great dish, i prepared it with so much love” Her mother said to gerald.
“Really? Just like you’ve prepared it with so much love, i will surely eat it with so much love” Gerald replied, earning a smile from her mom.
“Well i also hope that you will take care of my daughter. She’s been throu-gha lot in life, and having you by her side will surely be the best thing for her.”
Arabella smiled synically to herself.
She should have known that whining and dining Gerald had a reason. She had also said the same thing to John five years ago and now she’s saying the same thing to Gerald.
*Until when will she stop trying to sell her daughter off to the highest bidder* Arabella thought as she tried to hold back her anger.
“What my wife is trying to say is that arabella is still too young to take care of herself. She sometimes do stúpid things and make silly mistakes which results in dangerous consequence. All we are asking for is that you watch over her for us” Her father chipped in.
Trust her father to also say something. She knew that the silly mistake he was talking about had to do with her pregnancy. He had never forgiven her for what she did and that was why he had given her child away as soon as she was born.
She had thought that as years past, he would be in regret for giving his grand child away but he isn’t.
“I will surely do that do” She heard gerald’s reply, and she knew then that she had had it with everyone.
“Why would you do that?” She said suddenly as all eyes turned to her.
“Why would you look out for me when am just your employee? Do you do the same for everyone else?” She asked staring at gerald, who was also staring at her back.
“What are you saying arabella?” Her mother whispered at her, and she threw her cutlery down on the table.
“Have had enough of this nonsense and i would like to leave” Arabella said as she stood up .
“Arabella stop right there!” Her father called making her stop immediately.
“Don’t be rude and come back to the table” He said and breathing out an angry sigh, she turned to stare at her father.
“And watch how you and mom try to sell me to gerald. I would rather leave, than to watch that” She said as she turned to leave again.
“Arabella to my study” Her father commanded as he stood up, heading to his study.
She didn’t want to follow but seeing Gerald made her feel embarra-ssed at having to have him watch the fight going on between her and her parent.
As soon as she got into the library, she was welcome with a slap. It isn’t the first time her father will hit her and so she is used to it.
“How dare you try to ridicule your mom and i?” He asked starring at her.
“And how dare you try to sell me off to gerald? You have no right to do that when i can certainly take care of myself!” She yelled at him in return.
“Your future is the only thing we are thinking of. When will you stop being ungrateful, and try to accept the help we are giving to you” He said.
“Help?Just when i needed your help and support what did you do?” She asked glaring at him.
He looked away from her, and went to his desk where he sat on his seat before answering her question..
“If you are talking about what happened years ago, you should quit it now. Its been a long time and you should forget it” He said, dismissing it as if it was nothing, infruiating arabella more.
“How can you say that? I thought that while all this years have pa-ssed you would feel a little guilt at having done that to her but still you don’t feel a thing” She said.
“Why? Why should i feel guilty when i was doing the right thing for……”
“You weren’t doing the right thing for me. I had gone to that party without your permission. I had slept with a stranger and had gotten pregnant. I should have been the one you punished but you had to take it out on that little girl! My daughter who I had given birth to had to pay for what I did”
“You didn’t even let me see her properly. As soon as she was born. You gave her up for adoption. I couldn’t do anything because i was just a child myself but I wanted my daughter with me” She said as the tears Kept coming.
“Stop being a fool. You were happy to have the child out of your life. Having her out of your life made you who you are today. Did you think anyone would have offered you a place if they had known about your dirty past?” Her father said.
“I never wanted it! I never wanted to be famous. I would have been contented with my daughter and whatever job I get. Your greediness led you into taking away my child from me. I will forever remember what you did father and I will continue hating you for it” She yelled at him.
“Háte me all you can. I did what was best for the family and you should be grateful to me. If it weren’t for my decision, you wouldn’t be here so enough of this baby talk. She’s long gone already. Get married and have another child” He said trying to dismiss the topic.
“You almost suceedded in getting rid of her but luckily I managed to find her and am glad that the lady who adopted her made her feel so much love. She made her feel secure and loved. Things i was denied to give her thanks to you” Arabella said startling her father.
“You found her?” He asked feeling a little unsure about her confession.
“I did and this time i won’t let you take her away from me. If I have to forget that you are my father just to protect my child. So be it” She threatened as she stormed out of the room not bothering to answer her father call.
Arabella ran to the garden where she found a quiet spot to cry her eyes out. He didn’t feel any remorse for her daughter, and that alone hurt.
“Crying alone?” On hearing john’s voice she looked up to see him standing over her. Since there had been no place to seat she had crouched on the floor to cry.
She was lucky that it was john who found her cause she couldn’t stop her tears. John crouched in front of her wanting to pat her head, but she hug-ged him instead.
He held her until she had no tears to cry again. She moved out of his arms to stare at him.
“No more tears to cry again?”John asked
“Am sorry” She replied, as she tried to wipe her tears off his shirt but instead he held her hand.
“I heard your conversation with your dad. Did he really do that to you?”John asked.
“He did and he’s still willing to do more if i allow it” She replied.
“It must have been ha-rd for you”John said
“It was but its a lot better now that have found my daughter. Where are the others?” She asked.
“Back in their rooms. You should have come with us, it would have saved you from having this confrontation with your dad.” John said.
“It had to happen someday. I kept bottling it in because of our relationship, but now am done. I must have been so angry that i left the door open” She said, remembering how she walked into her father study leaving the door wide open.
“Well at least, am glad that you are the only one who heard” She added as she gave him a smile.
“Well actually there is something i have to tell you” John said suddenly.
