Chapter-39

Vanessa's POV:

Next afternoon,

I am avoiding him since I sneaked out of his room this morning. Why I did that!!!

It's not like I regret it.... But I wasn't right either....

I want ask myself why I am doing this?

I saw a maid walking in keeping the tray on the kitchen counter, I noticed the food was untouched.

He didn't eat his breakfast.... it got all cold.....

I sent the breakfast way before he woke up, but he didn't even touched it....

I moved my hands through my hairs, I shouldn't think too much, he is just concerned because of Mrs. Silvia's surgery....

It's been hours since the surgery started.

The maid said, "He said he won't like to have Lunch either..." I nod silently.

I heard a knock on the door, I looked at that direction. Mr. Terry was there, he said to me stern, "Master Morris called you, Miss. Floris..."

I looked down, he called me.....

I was in his dead father's study, where he was sitting on the table in front of me. When I walked in this room I noticed the pictures on the wall, of his childhood and this family.

But right now his cold gaze bothers me. Seth asked, "Why haven't I seen you all day?...."

I whispered avoiding his eyes, "I... I am.... little sick today...."

He just stayed silent, he asked next, "What did last night means?" I kept my eyes off him, I am afraid I will fall for him if I look at him long enough. I already felt the danger he was for me last night.

I don't want to be in love with a man who doesn't care for me. I will be fool again....

I stayed silent, but the silence in the room notified me, I need answers, at least for him.

I whispered, "Excuse me... I have... something to do...." I just want to rush out at this point.

I was on the table out of sudden where he blocked me trapping in between his tattooed arms, He lifted my chin to face him.

My eyes meet his, and the thing I was afraid of started to happen. My heart was on speed, the memories of last night flooded in me. This is bad for me... He is bad for me....

Seth asked warning, "Answer me...."

I whispered, "I... I don't... know...." I said truly.

His eyes narrowed, I whispered further, "I.. .... I want to know... why?"

His lips formed a smirk, while I was all confused and lost. Seth got closer to me saying, "We will figure it out...." He crashed his lip on mine again. But he parted soon.

I hated it....

He looked in my eyes saying, "Now.... never lower these eyes.... so, I can read you properly...."

Hours later,

I stood behind Seth and Terry, as the doctors came out of the surgery room. Seth has serious expression on his face, but he was still cold as stone. Why must a son hold these silent hate for his mother? when she is in state as such?

See.... A person who can't love his mother, will never know importance of Me.....

But today is not about me.... I am just worried about her.

The doctor said, "Surgery went fine... we still need to monitor her and provide maximum care... her blood pressure is also better than before.... we can just pray from here..."

Seth said with hint of anger, "If you left something to Pray.... then I should have hired priest, not Educated doctors... You better pray now, she recovers, or your family won't recover your bodies....." He walked away angry, the Doctor just looked at his back terrified.

My subconscious said, "See... He cares for her" I hope so.

I really hope so.....

Next day,

I heard from the maid, Mrs. Silvia woke up, but she was very curious indeed. She was fearful too... Why was she in this hell again? Where were Daniel and Lewis?

I know she might be full of confusion. Seth haven't visited her once, he is just with his so called work in the study. I poured some soup for Mrs. Silvia.

I don't care what comes after me seeing her, I am ready for any punishment, but I need to see that sick lady.

I walked in her room with the tray, I saw her flat on the bed with closed eyes, the oxygen mask was still to her face. I can see the sides on bandages through the nightgown neckline.

I placed the tray on her bedside table, maybe the sound make her look at me with heavy eyes. She was clearly not that well.

I smiled a little at her, She whispered weakly, "V-Vanessa.... is that you..."

I nod saying, "Yes... How are you Mrs. Silvia? Feeling better?"

Her eyebrows were colliding in discomfort she still asked, "Why... Why am I here?.... they won't tell me anything..... Where is Seth... Where is he?"

She asked about him, while he doesn't care to see her once. What kind of son he is?

She said further, "Daniel.... and Lewis....where are they.... Are they alright?"

I don't know.

I kept my eyes down as I said, "I... I don't know... let's get you eat something.... I made the soup as the Doctor suggested..."

She said, "Why are you here?"

I looked at her straight, She said, "It's better for you to run till you can..... This world will kill you inside before it kills your body...." I lowered my eyes, I know she is using those harsh words to protect me.

But I cannot be protected, I walked in myself.

I whispered, "This... This was the only option to save Daniel.... I did to save the kid I saw growing up, You know it, Daniel is like my younger brother to me.... What could have I done!!!!"

She looks at me as her eyes tears up, I said, "I am here on my own will.... and right now you should focus on recovering..."

She looked away, she sighed, I tried again, "Let's get you eat something...." I took spoon full of soup to her.

She said, "I need to see him....."

I lowered my hand, She looked at me stern, she said, "Tell him... I want to see him, and know about my son and husband..... I won't eat anything....."

I whispered, "Mrs. Silvia... He will be angry...and he will..."

She looks at me stern, she whispered, "After knowing his father...Nothing else scares me.... Call Seth and tell him His mother needs to talk...."

hours later,

Seth pulled me to himself harshly, He said, "I warned don't approach her!!!" I had to inform she is refusing to eat, she can't not afford to that in this condition.

I looked at his eyes filled with rage, He screamed, "Have you lost your mind!!!"

I said back, "No because I am human and capable of emotions... unlike you...."

I am angry on him, but myself, I tried to search human in him, gave myself to him... but at last I came in contact with this cold Monster.

He seems way more comfortable to touch me, he was already holding my waist forcefully like asking me to stop this Drama.

I pushed him getting away from me, I said, "That women saved my life when My Grandmother died... I cannot abandon her.... You can punish me however You please... But I do not regret visiting her, she is sick for god sake!!!!"

At this point it feels like we are fighting couple, when we are nothing.

Seth warned, "Yea... Talk as much as you can... I will see later how much your voice can eco when I come back..."

He walked out of the room banging it. I felt chills by those words and eyes, and that he just walked out without doing anything.

I tried to get out of the room when I noticed he locked it. My eyes went wide. I looked back at the room, I am locked in his bed room.

Is he really that angry!!!!!

I tried to open it again, but.... I knew I was stuck here.

I covered my face with my hands, but what if he tried to harm Mrs. Silvia? No I have to be there.

He won't harm his mother right?

But he hates her, he can do that!!!

I am sweating!!!!

I banged on the door with the hopes someone will open it!!! but as I did that for few minutes, screaming for help... I realized my situation...

What Have I done!!!!

Silvia's POV:

I was resting against the bed frame, There is a pillow helping me sit comfortably. I don't know what to do....

What is going on?

This place..... the same room.... after years.... it's haunting me.... Alberto's memories still haunt me as I am in this room.... Like everything was just yesterday...

But I killed him... That monster died from my hand, I took my justice.... We cannot beg for justice we take it...

I failed regardless....

I am anxious, I want to see my both children, and Lewis. I don't think I am going to hang in for long.... I don't want to live this pain anymore.

I thought I escaped, but I raised it myself....

It's all my fault....

I tried to raise him better, Make him a nice kid... but where it all end?

I can't even recognize my son... I waited 14 years, trying to find... thinking he will be my that son who ran away from me, OR was in trouble..... but he just left out of hate.

How will I tell him I can never replace him? All those time since he was in my womb I prayed for him, I gave birth to him when I didn't wanted my life.... I loved him more than myself.... I lived with his father for his safety.... I killed Alberto for him...

But he hated me...

Author's POV:

Silvia's thoughts were disturbed when she heard the door close, she looked at Seth who was standing there looking like a stranger. Her son was looking at her with blank eyes.

He was in his back t-shirt with black pants, his tattooed hands were on display, he had his hairs messy, they were surely long. The ear piercings bothered her.

Like he was showing what he intended to be.

Seth grabbed the chair, pulling it on the floor making a sound, he sat near the bed.

He asked, "Why are you acting up?" He asked all cold, like he was talking to a stranger.

Silvia was trying to find her Little Seth in him, but she was failing.

She whispered, "How is Daniel and Lewis?... Did you hurt them?" She wanted put some things aside before talking to him properly.

She saw Seth smirk, when he did that her eyes went wide. She clearly noticed the resemblance to Alberto.

Seth said looking at her straight, "You care about That Parasite so much... and even his father.... It was better if I just killed that kid, then you would be more miserable than not finding me?"

Her eyes tears up realizing he went missing to hurt her. How was he aimed to make her feel pain?

Silvia said, "So.... You hurt them or not...."

Seth's face got cold he said, "I did nothing to them...." Like he stated.

He said, "Now eat... and be on your feet....." He was about to get up and leave, he was burning seeing the care his mother had for her other family.

Silvia said, "I am not done yet...."

Seth sat back looking at her blank. Silvia asked, "Why you are doing this?.... You want to be like that Monster, I cannot stop you anymore.... But why you brought me back here, when you hate me... My husband could arranged something for my survival..."

Seth looked at her cold, he didn't liked how his mother was speaking to him. Not desperation, nor hint of care... neither as if he was her son.

Seth whispered, "Don't call my father that... after killing him..."

Silvia looked down, she wanted to slap some sense in him, but she was afraid it was little too late.

Silvia asked, "Seth... What you want?"

Seth looked at her aimless, He whispered, "Quit the act and have the food and meds...."

He walked away, Silvia asked, "Why you brought me here?.... To remind me of that life...."

Seth said not even looking at her, "Remind what you took from your own blood.... These walls have seen betrayal and your schemes...."

Seth heard Silvia, "They surely have heard my screams too...."

Seth walked away banging the door, Silvia sighed, she didn't knew how much time she had, but her last wish would be seeing her Son looking at her as he use to when he was a kid.

As she was his loving mother, not murderer of his father....
