Chapter-41

Vanessa's POV:

Few days later,

It's more than 2 weeks since Mrs. Silvia's surgery. Now she is on wheelchair, so she doesn't stress herself more.

She asked to meet Seth, I just decided to say here, because I am worried. Seth ordered the maids to bring her here in his study.

I felt Seth's hand on my cheeks, he said to me, "Didn't I told you dress as you please...." I am still in the spare Uniform, I got two so, I thought he was not serious.

I looked at him straight, I said, "I am fine in it...."

I felt him freeing my hairs, His hands made them proper as he wanted. I am counting seconds, why is he doing this?

Making me feel like this.

He said stern, "Don't worry..... No one will touch you again, and....." My eyes went wide hearing this, he knows why I dress like this now!

My lips started trembling, a person cold as him will understand my pain, or.... Or How does he care to point it?

But he proved that he knew what's in my mind by saying, "It's not your fault.... they are going to try even if you look ugly or clothe head to toe...."

My eyes finally dropped the tears, his words were something unknown, but I needed to hear it.

'It was not my fault'

I wish someone else had said these words to me, but I got taunted on my looks and dress. I wish if someone told me that it's not my fault, then maybe I won't feel so warm by these words by him.

Seth pocked his hands assuring, "I will drag anyone to death, if they look at you..... No need to hide.... You are Mine...." He wiped my tears, I looked down.

I don't know if he means it or not.

But for a orphan like me, just these words that he will protect me makes me want to believe it.

Is it possible, that Seth will really protect me?

He walked back to his seat, as if he knew the knock on the door was about to happen, The maid pushed the wheel chair, Doctor said not to strain Mrs. Silvia too much.

But she is better than before, the recovery looks good.

Seth stayed there cold as Mrs. Silvia was waiting for the maid to leave. As the maid was about to leave, Seth said, "Vanessa.... close the door...."

I was here being audience to Mother Son bitterness. Mrs. Silvia said, "Seth.... I want to go back....."

Seth's hand went to the papers as if he is busy, he said, "I do not plan to keep you forever..... unless you leave those people....."

He whispered, "I can't even look at your face...."

Mrs. Silvia just looking at him, I am sure she was in distress. Seth got up said, "I am busy....."

Mrs. Silvia said, "Seth..... Are you going to behave like this? Like I am your enemy?...."

Seth's eyes went to his mother, he is surprisingly composed. Mrs. Silvia said, "I ... I might not live for long... Seth will you forgive me for whatever this mother did to you?"

This is heart breaking, Seth got close to her, surprisingly he sat on his knees to her level. He asked stern, "Do you regret it?"

I swear I was praying that everything fixes after this.

Mrs. Silvia placed her hand on his cheeks, she said, "No.... I would do it again, but early.... so you won't remember him...."

Seth got angry, he gulped looking at her, She was in her tears. Seth whispered, "You are just a vicious women, you destroyed him.... and Me!"

She looked at him in tears, She whispered, "Just forget him, let's be like we use to be....." She is so desperate to get her son back.

Seth smirked, he said, "Terry will drop you back to your family.... and yes, your life is a dept from Morris family now.... At last our money saved your life, so you can waste it on those low life....."

He is saying to make himself unattached to her, but I think he took care of her for himself. He didn't wanted his only parent to be dead. He is not ready to lose.

Mrs. Silvia whispered, "Daniel always said, he would like to see his brother..... he would like to learn basket ball from you, and other things..... you use to love him Seth, what happened to you?"

Seth smiled, he said, "I always hated that Parasite.... I will never care for them.... His father didn't let justice to come to my father... Why would I care for him?"

He mocked.

Mrs. Silvia said, "Justice?.... For what?.... and your father never knew what Justice was..... Fine..."

She looks at him straight, She said, "I killed him, I shot him till the gun was empty, set the room on fire.... You saw it right?.... then,.... kill me, your justice will be served..... just forgive me after I die..... You are my life, I don't want to be hated by you...."

Seth whispered, "Stop it...."

Mrs. Silvia said as she couldn't control her mind, "Alberto forced me to be with him, he r*ped me, beat me..... He never wanted kids, just to keep me with him.... He got me pregnant!!!!... Do you like this face of your father!!!!... Seth!!!! He maybe was a good father, but... not a good man!!!"

No.... all of this is doomed!!!!

His hands were trembling, He said, "So.... I was fool..... I know everything mother, Uncle Max told me.... but now you cleared, he changed after having a son, but you didn't?"

His eyes tears up, but his anger and frustration is visible. He said, "You never wanted me!!!!.... I was forced on you, that's what you said!!!!"

Mrs. Silvia realized what the fight turned into, She whispered, "No... Baby.... You are.. mY"

He screamed, "You never wanted me, that's why you never thought about me before killing my father!!!!... You never thought how I felt in that perfect family of yours!!!! You replaced me!!!!... Because you never wanted me!!!!!.... That's your truth!!!!"

Mrs. Silvia's eyes were dropping tears on this accusation, Seth finally said, "He was a good father, and I saw him being a best husband!!!!.... He changed for us... But you are a failure as Mother.... I thought, My mother was still inside you, but... but You proved me wrong.... I am worried sick for a stranger all this time!!!"

Mrs. Silvia whispered in tears, "Seth... Baby, You are my everything..... I dint meant that... You are my life, I am alive for you... You.. are taking me wrong-"

Seth looked at her in tears, he said, "Vanessa!!!"

I looked at him stunned, he is not going to do it, right?

Seth said, "Vanessa!! make a call and drop this Women back at her door steps!"

Mrs. Silvia looked at Seth in tears, pain was streaming down her cheeks. Seth said, "If my hate doesn't let you sleep then.... I will always hate you, Mother.... I will never forgive you..... You took my father away from me and my mother too!"

He whispered, "You will never see my face again.... neither I will see yours"

He walked out of the room in anger, banging the door loud.

I flinched, I kept my eyes on the door.

I heard Mrs. Silvia's cried, I looked back at her.

My eyes went back to the door,

My subconscious whispered, 'He needs me'

But Mrs. Silvia?

I walked out of the room in hurry, I ran to find him, I realized I couldn't find him. I bumped into a maid in hurry, I said to her, "Madam.... is in that room, take care of her...."

Soon, I was rushing through the mansion searching for him.

After like 10 minutes or so I was breathing heavily, I can't find him. There are a lot of rooms, How will I find him?

I noticed the room in the corner had the door open, the door was not fully closed. I walked in hesitant, only to see Seth standing by the window.

He kept his eyes out, his back was facing me. It didn't took me long to realize it was kids room. I looked around noticing some childhood pictures, a bright color of the room. The toys, and small cars on the shelf.

Is it his childhood room?

I walked behind him, I was hesitant but I placed my hand on his shoulder, I want him to turn to me.

But I heard him, "Vanessa.... leave me alone..."

He said harshly but I can't..... You look lonely....and pitiful in your battered childhood.

I pressed myself in his back, I was embracing him. I pressed my check against his hard back. I whispered, "I want to stay...."

I hugged him tighter. I saw him throwing his head back sighing.

I hear his taunt, "When will you start to follow orders?"

My hold on his waist got tighter, I whispered, "Never...." I felt his hand on mine, he fixed my hands tighter, so I be closer to him.

I kept my eyes close trying to feel him. I want him to know I am always here.

Author's POV:

He needed to be alone, but.... she held him tight.

That made him realize he needed to be Held.

He gave in defeat feeling her embracing his back. He internally whispered, "What are you doing to me?...."

He pulled her closer, so little warm that he had never escapes him.

He was deeply into her, love, obsession or possession.... whatever it was, he was loving it....

He had no reason to give up on the one thing he craved.... One person he wanted!
