"...Little one you were wrong here do you understand that?" Ivy gently asked to the little girl in front of her who resembled her a lot but still was a lot different from her. She looked at her with her red puffy eyes which looked guilty and ashamed. With her tiny mouth not able to say anything.
"Fine, I get that you are guilty. But what is the grudge between you and lady carot?" Ivy who just remembered about her asked while looking at lady white who was sitting on her lower lip.
.
"Bloom, you know what I did inside right? So before things get bad tell me the truth if the fight wasn't started by her then how come you had so many wounds when you returned home the other day? You even told me that she slandered our family and acted pitiful to gain sympathy, although what I saw today was different....You...You.." Ivy sutured as she looked at her little sister who was shaking.
.
"Sister...please don't get angry...I..I...lied about everything..."
"Lied about everything? Then what about those wounds?"
"I made them myself by rolling down the stairs..." She said while looking at Ivy whose face became dark as her eyes were out of focus.
.
"Sister..." She said while trying to touch her hands but Ivy shakes them off as she gives her an angry stare.
"Why did you lie to me? " Ivy asked with a shaky voice while placing her hands on bloom's shoulders.
.
"Because she tried to save Ethan from me. every time I would attack him she would come and stand in front of him like a shield which irritated me! That's why I lied to sister and got those wounds so that you get her punished but everything turned upside down because lady winter came in between---" Bloom stopped in between as she was felt a sudden pain on her shoulders.
.
She raised her eyelids as she saw Ivy's face which made her feel weak all over not because it was showing anger but because it showed disappointment.
"Sister..."
"Bloom...in the name of revenge do you have any idea what you have been doing?" Ivy asked in her usual tone whereas Bloom looked down and shook her head.
.
"Bloom you think you have been destroying their life but do you know who is the one being destroyed the most... it's you! Your soul is the one being ruined."
Hearing that Bloom rose her head and just smiled, "I deserve it...for bung a nuisance, don't I?" As soon as those words left her lips a slap was pasted on her face.
.
And for one second the whole world for them stopped. Ivy whose hands for the first time rose against Bloom we're now shaking whereas, on the other hand, Bloom couldn't believe how life has been going for her.
.
"Bloom!" Ethan who was hiding for so long finally came out and stood in between them.
"Ethan, why are you here?" Ivy who was in no mood to see him said as she massaged her temples.
.
"I---"
"Just go...Don't come and act like a hero." Bloom said as Ethan took a place at her.
"I am not the acting hero here and keep your mouth shut when you should." He warned her while looking at Ivy who looked a little pale with sweat on her forehead.
.
"Sister Ivy...Are you okay?" He asked as he took a step forward while she took a step back.
"I am fine, so just leave us alone...she doesn't deserve all your kind acts., Ivy said while she sighed and looked at him eye to eye.
.
And when she did that for a second Ethan saw Daniel in her which made him a little emotional making him zone out until he felt a sudden push on his back and Ivy lying on the ground with a worried Bloom beside her.
.
" Sister! Sister, what happened why are you like this?" She said while shaking Ivy with her shivering body.
"Sister Ivy..." Ethan said as he forwarded his hands to check her temperature but Bloom pushed it away with pure hatred in his eyes.
.
"What are you trying to do when she is defenceless?" Bloom questioned him to which Ethan instead of going a reply and wasting his time. Picked up Ivy and started to walk towards the carriage followed by an angry Bloom who kept bothering him by saying some mean things it just throwing some fists at his back or shoulders.
.
"Young Master? What happened to her? Little lady are you okay?" The coachman who has been working for them since they were kids asked with concern in his eyes.
"Please don't worry and drive carefully. She is only down with a kind of fever once she takes some medicine and sleeps she would be good to go." Ethan said as he reassured Bloom that everything is fine without actually talking with her.
.
"I see no wonder her paid looked so worried while she was sending her off." The coachman said while Bloom's face lose colour as she clenched her fists and was about to throw another tantrum when Ethan unconsciously held onto her and said, "Sister Ivy, hates noises when she is sleeping."
.
Even though his touch made her uncomfortable to death and his voice irrateed the hell out of jer still she couldn just ignore the fact that what he said was right and the thing that even thought it was her who is closet to Ivy she still blinded by her anger forgot about it.
.
"Fine..." She murmured under her breath while liking the peacefully asleep Ivy's face which looked tired.
"You saw that *points at the dark circles* sje got all that because she is busy handling the household after Daniel's death and despite of having a fever she today accompanied you...beacuse she cares for you....and she knows the one Daniel's loves the most is You Bloom." Ethan said softly as he looked at her face which got softened.
.
"Why...Why are telling me all this...don't you remember just a few days ago I was ready to kill you. Because of me even tour sword was taken form you and today your friend got slapped by sister because of me." She asked with teary eyes.
.
"I know and remmber it all but what can I do abut it? Throw a tantrum and plan a revenge against your revenge and breaking for people and families is that what I should do?" Ethan answerd her while smiling a bit and while Bloom became more gloomy.
.
"Are you mocking me?"
*sigh* "If this is what you call as mocking than fine." She said while letting out a small laugh.
"Stop joking....I know deep indie you use hate me..." She said while clenching her fists and looking at her shoes.
.
"How do you know what going inside me and how are you so sure that I would hate you? Did I ever say that I hate you?" Ethan said sounding a little offended which made Bloom confused.
"You...this must be the reason why elder sister feel down. You are too much!" He added before letting out a bug sign of relief.
.
"Bloom, I don't know what is going inside tour head and all this days your hate for me and Lady Carot is understandable and I allow you to hate me as much as you want as long as Lady Carot or anyone isn't involved in it. And I am saying this for the first time distended carefully.
.
I don't hate you and I belive that I can her come to hate you." He said while smiling at her.
.
"Why? Even after all the things I did...why can't you just hate me." She asked as a tear rolled down her eyes with gullet crawling over her heart.
"Because, You are my sister whom I held doe the first time. You are that sister because eof which Daniel and I came to from a connection between you. BECAUSE Bloom you are the line joimg us without you we too would not be." He said while his hands were about to her hair but stopping midway from where he pulled it out again.
.
" We have reached." The coach man said as the ceremony stopped at the front door of the mansion where already Max the second eldest son was waiting for them to return and have his food without giving any eyes to both his sister leave alone Ethan.
.
On the other hand Ethan quietly kept Ivy on hr bed and the rest he left it in the hands of the maides while he was checking out when suddenly Ivy held his hand making him to stop in his tracks and the maids to have a great shock.
.
"Thank you for today....and I am sorry..." She said softly while Ethan just smiled at her and kept her hand above her waist beige heading out with a gentle smile on his face and meeting someone he didn't want to.
.
"Good Evening, Marquess White."
