“In between, when her twins were three, she gave birth to a girl,” the man said shocking Rhiannon.
“What are you trying to say?” she asked angrily as she thought that the man was playing with her mind.
“Your mother was a gorgeous woman, so how could the men in the organization not have other thoughts about her?” the man asked making Rhiannon speechless.
“The men who pursued her in there included our boss but your mother remained unmoved as to her, she had the love of her life although they had parted ways. She believed that the man would come back to her. However, being rejected countless times made the boss so angry that he forced himself on her and she conceived. After nine months, she gave birth to a daughter. At first, she didn’t want to see the child or even breastfeed her but one day as she was passing through that way, she heard her crying and she was shouted at by the wiping mothers who had been employed for that work. She felt torn and she started taking care of her daughter making the kid dependent on her,” the man said while Rhiannon stayed there frozen.
She started asking herself whether she had mistaken her identity and was her mother’s killer her father. The man chuckled as he looked at Rhiannon’s shocked and serious face as he could tell what she was thinking.
“I know you are now asking yourself, have you all mistaken your identity, right?” the man asked as if she wasn’t in pain.
“Yes and no,” Rhiannon answered sincerely as she hoped that the man would tell her what the truth was. She wasn't so naive to think the worst of what the man was saying as he had no reason to lie to her. Also, she knew that he was telling the truth through the true chip that she had injected on her body before the party.
The only reason she had refused to believe it when the second prince told her who she was was because she was too anxious and couldn't concentrate on it to determine the truth.
“You all have not mistaken your identity as your sister is still in the organization,” the man replied making Rhiannon sigh in relief before she frowned once more after remembering the man’s words.
“Our leader pampers the girl rotten. She was so willfully. Your mother would take your sister when she went to visit your brother. After all, the girl was the organization's princess while the boy was just a mere prisoner, how could they compare to one another? Your brother loved her little sister and he always looked forward to when your mother was going to visit him. Till he overheard from the guards who said that he was a prisoner while the girl was their princess. He was confused and asked them,” the man said as he sighed. However, he had initially tried to shake his head but found that he couldn’t thus he sighed in desperation.
“They laughed at him and told him that he was a prisoner, he didn’t have a father but the person who had held him captive was the father to the little girl he always played him. That time, when he was six, he didn’t fully understand them and opted to wait for his mother to come and explain it to him. He asked and your mother told him the truth. He asked whether were they siblings yet one of them stayed in a dirty place while the other lived well. Your mother was pained wishing she could get him out but when he went to the leader to ask him, the leader laughed at her and told her that it was impossible since if he was released, she would not be obedient to what she was instructed. When she failed, your brother refused to see him and the girl. Your mother’s personality turned cold and she started blaming everyone even her daughter. After all, that was her lover’s son while the girl’s father wasn’t. She started rebelling and before she left, she had tried taking your brother but was unable to,” the man added.
“That time, your brother was already ten years old while your sister was seven. She took the girl to see the brother although the little one had forgotten him since the last time they went, she was just three years old. There, she told your brother, everything as to why they couldn’t stay together, why he was locked up, and where the girl was staying out there. She then drugged everyone in the organization for them to fall asleep so that she could leave with her kids. She only got the courage to do so as the leader wasn’t present that day. However, when she had just succeeded and was leaving, she met with a very angry leader. He dragged her and the kids back and beat them even the girl as he claimed that she had betrayed her father. Your mother protected them and received the most beating but the kids received the whips because they couldn’t bear to see their mother beaten.”
“After she recovered, your brother asked her to leave, to escape from there as that day when they were beaten, he believed and understood everything. To him, even if his mother was to stay there, she would just receive more torture when she was alone and also he would put his little sister in danger. He felt that as a girl, his sister shouldn’t know the cruelty of the world and stay innocent. He vowed to your mother to protect the girl in there. Your mother escaped and we have been searching for her ever since,” he said
“There, I have told you,” he concluded making Rhiannon shake her head disagreeing with her.
“How is my brother? Is he still locked up?” she asked her voice trembling.
She felt like she could just break in there and get him out as he was her biological brother and she felt pain thinking of how much he was suffering in there.
“He is good. When your mother escaped, she requested the two siblings to take care of each other. Although your sister was only eight, she remembered everything. She would sneak in to visit him twice a week but the leader was told one day and he was furious and asked her what she was plotting. She said that she knew the boy in there was her brother and she wanted him out and for him to live with them. The leader refused but the girl refused to eat claiming she would only eat and open her bedroom door if it was her brother who was in front of her door.” The man said as he chuckled.
“She is the only child thus the leader was afraid that she might do something in there and he would hate himself for even killing his own daughter. He pretended for once and got your brother out of the cell. However, with how scheming he was, after your sister finished eating, he locked him up. That made the girl so angry that she refused to eat, shower, and open her door. Till went on for more than two weeks till her maids called her and she didn’t reply. When they broke the door, they found her lying on the floor with fever. The leader was so afraid that if he didn’t that trick once more, the girl would really kill herself. She was twelve and your brother was fifteen.”
“He took him out of the cell and gave him the bedroom next to the girl. Even today, he lives there and he protects the girl from harm. He started learning while the two worked hard to gain the leader's trust. That made the leader curious and afraid that the two were plotting something. No matter how much he hated your brother, he could never confront him thus he sent others to make things difficult for him but the guy pretended not to see them,” he said then sighed.
“Recently, the two siblings have become so aggressive and refuse to listen to him while your sister claims that the leader should step down and let her take over but how could the leader agree when he had always been greedy of power? He has tried oppressing the two after understanding that even his daughter didn’t listen and respect him and wanted to overthrow them. When he heard about the banquet, he sent many of us here to observe everything. For us to get rid of any threat then take the head back to the organization so that he could use that to threaten them,” the man said shocking Rhiannon.
“Now, we had to kill you and take your head and the report that Miss Celestine is already dead. That way, all the hopes to get out of there to unite with their mother would end and they would be obedient. Who knew that you are so strong and have some other backups on your sleeve?” the man said as he sneered.
“The name of the two before saying your last words!”
