Chapter 16: Chapter 16 - One Man's Sanctuary

A question to my fellow readers.

Do you want me to stop the Reality Checks?

If you want me to just comment on it and I will stop doing it.

Oh. Also the nane of the chapter is like this because it's a two part.

I would appreciate it if you guys could spare one minute of your time to write a review for the story, helping it reach more people.

Now the second thing that happened to me.

I became Homeless.

I was out for food.

I was begging for a warm place in the lonely night.

Your thinking something similar to this right.

Wrong! I was having fun. Going to the Circus and to the night club but they didn't let me in for I was still under aged (But that didn't stop him from gawking through the window), going to different fancy restaurants and eating I don't know what... most of the things were unpronounceable and a quite pricey for so little.

Okay, Now what happened back than was that Leopold found a way to finally kick me out. Now I know why in these few months he hasn't been harassing me. He was finding ways to kick me out legally. First he tried to find any kind of dirt that could be used to blackmail me. He bribed the Butlers, Maids and other household staffs but they wouldn't give him anything as they were already under my pay.

So he tried to find any faults that could put me in trouble. Like telling the family members with some social powers of my pathetic potentials, making false accusations behind me back, telling that I do indecent things with the household staff members (even though Leopold's the one that generally does it).

But that did not bulge my father or maybe he didn't care enough about me to listen to him.

But what finally did the trick was that thing. Hmm, that one.

I remember it like it was yesterday (Because it happened yesterday).

[Flashback]

The time was 10'o clock in the morning, the skies were cloudy without any rays of sunlight.

"I-I don't understand what your talking about?"

Leopold said in a accusing tone "Hah he doesn't understand what he did, what insurmountable amount of shame he brought us"

"What do you mean, brother"

"Look at him lying so well, it's like seeing a professional actor on stage. Father can we show it now?" Leopold looked at his father and asked with adoration.

Ervin swiped his left hand as Leopold took that as the signal to get a leather bag out from his pants pocket and throw it at him.

The leather bag fell on his right leg and as it opened up a few gold coins fell from it. Looking at it my mind went on a frenzy as I stuttered "I-I-I don't know them, they aren't min-"

Ervin's voice boomed as he said "SILENCE, no more lies"

I begin to think about who could have told them. Leopold certainly didn't figure that out all by himself and I didn't even tell anyone except Emily. But could it truly be Emily? No... She's too loyal to betray me... then who could it be?

After a minute later I finally calmed down, my eyes looking serious as I said "Alright It is mine"

Hearing my words Leopold almost couldn't stop the laughter he was holding in. My father only had a deep look about him and Diana finally cracked and her eyes were full of disdain for me as if I was beneath her.

"But before anything else, can you at least tell who was it that told you"

"It was me who figured out your schem-" Leopold started to say but was interrupted by me "Not you, I want to know who was it that really told you.

Leopold angry at being interrupted was about to spew out some curses but Ervin said "Alright... you at least have THAT right to know." He lifted his right hand and waved "You can come out, now"

From behind Ervin's right side under the window curtains a woman slowly walked out.

Because of the darkness and how far she was I couldn't really see her face. Then a flash of lighting appeared and her face was momentarily shown.

But in that moment I was able to see her face and recognize her.

My face changed from confused to shock to unimaginable pain.

The person that betrayed me.

The only person I truly trusted.

It was my Mother.
