Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 194
“Harris! Stop!” The Princes who just arrived at the spot and of course heard about everything that happened said while holding onto his shoulders and pulling him back.
“Don’t stop me! Let me go! I will not let him go with this, because of him Sister…my sister is so hurt…all because of him.” Harris said as he broke down in tears and Alan who was standing the nearest the him gave him a shoulder to lean and cry on.
.
“Harris, we understand your feelings and your pain but your rash behavior will only bring more problem for Rose, so please calm down.” Kelly said as she patted his shoulders whereas Alfred without a single word just walked towards her room.wjere he saw her looking at the closed window numbly.
.
“Would you like the window to be open?” Alfred asked as he walked towards the wodnowband opened it to let in fresh air and sunshine.
“—-Rose—” He said softly while placing his hands on hers.
.
“—Yoy probably don’t want to talk right now and I can’t understand your pain so I won’t tell you to cry or move on but I would just like to clarify one thing— Rose everything that happened today wasn’t your fault, this has nothing to do with you. So, please don’t ever blame yourself.Please.” He said while looking at her eyes which got a little watery and as he stood up to leave, a tear rolled down her left eye.
.
“—-I know, I am not the one to blame, but I don’t know whom to blame and how how lightne my heart—-just why, just why is my fate so tragic-” Rose murmered under her breath while looking at the sky.
.
“I want to be free.” She said while closing her eyes and right then, the Duke entered the room. Through his walking style one could say that he hurriedly came there.
.
“Rose, how are you feeling now?” He asked while walking towards her.
“Don’t come near me.” She said while looking at him with a cold look on her face.
.
‘Rose don’t behave like your brother and be nice.” He shouted back at her which made Rose more sad and teary.
“I don’t understand you kids, why are you two being so dramatic? While everything I am doing is just for your sake!’ He said while banging his hand on the table.
.
The whole room went silent for a moment none of them talked and the Duke slowly realized that he let his anger take over him and he took his frustration out on Rose.
“Rose, I didn’t mean those words, they just came out in anger–”
“Father! You know it too that truth always come out in anger.” She said while looking at him with teary eyes.
.
“Whats wrong with Harris’s behavior? Just because he doesn’t follow the rules set by you, you dislike him but at the same time just because he is a boy you train him for becoming the future heir, and you look at me only because I follow your rules and never question you.
.
father ever since we were young, we grew up without a mother and you knew it too well that at such a age the thing we needed the most was your care and love but what did you give us?
.
Leave love and care you didn’t even look at us. You neglected us as if we were some kind of disease.” Rose who never had enough courage to take straight with the duke was now letting it all out.
.
“Rose, that time—I was confused”
“Confused? What were you confused about? What made your mind so busy that you even forgot about your own children….for the last 8 years you had no idea about our life…and now suddenly where is this love of yours coming from?”
.
“Rose! I am your father!”
“And Roslin was my only mother!” She shouted back while throwing the glass on the ground and shattering it into pieces.
.
“Why? Father, how could you give my mother’s place to someone else? How could you!! Your actions really make me doubt about your relation with mother…was it really love? Or was she too just one of your greatest achievements?” Rose said with a smirk and Duke unconsciously raised his hands against her.
.
“Father! What are you doing?” Harris who entered the room on time said as he ran toward Rose and stood infornt of her.
“Father! Can’t you see sister is sick! Because of your so called marriage drama so please spare her some peace and leave!” Harris said with pure hatred as he glared at her.
.
“Harris–” Rose said as she clenched onto his coat and hide behind him totally devastated form the fact that her father for the first time rose his hands against her.
.
The Duke with no way out had to leave the alone. And as he came out the other kids were also looking at him with questionable eyes which he just avoided and walked directly towards his room.
“What was I about to do?” He talked to himself while shaking and looking at his left hand which he rose against rose.
.
“Just what am I doing? And why? How could I treat my kids Ike this?” He said while crumbling down and hiting his head on the ground with years flowing down his eyes.
.
While the Willson family was having emotional breakdown, Jessica was on cloud seven and drawing herself on the sweet wine sje was served with.
“Finally! I have achieved everything I wanted! And it all thanks to this.” She said while bringing out a potion from her hardback which was blue in colour and a little shiny.
.
“The Willson Family has no idea, what they are going through is just as I wanted. All the years of humiliation and pain I want through now it is time to return it back to them.” She said while clenching on to the poiton.
.
“Your words sound very powerful but remember the day this potion is used up your time will be up too.” A voice form behind said as the place she was standing suddenly stated glowing in a green light and a person appeared before her.
.
“I know, and that is why I need your help.” She said with an evil smile as she walked towards that person.
“So, you remember that you need me. Then Madam Jessica *dissaper the potion from her hand* do you remember our agreement?” That person asked with an intimidating voice.
.
“I do, you only want Rose to give up her place so the crown Prince dance partner and make sure she never gets the top position on the society.”
.
“Good that you remember it, so tell me *a knife suddenly appears near her neck* what’s with the miscommunication between the Duke and her? Why are you destroying their relationship while I only wanted you to destroy her social life!”
.
“Tch, tch…You are too aggressive don’t you think so? What’s the fun in that?”
“Fun! Do you think all this is fun? Then how brought I play with your life too?” That voice said while the knife touched her skin and Jessica eyes twitched as her heart beat rose up aggressively.
.
“Wow! You know I can hear your heart beat form here I wonder if this knife cuts your throat out how much noise would it make?”
“—I–You—just stop okay I am the wrong one. So please take that knife away!” Sje siad while stammering and that person bought the knife near her neck more so close that he cut her skim slightly.
.
“Ouch! Are you crazy!” She said while touching her neck which was bleeding slightly.
“Yes! I am crazy so don’t test my patience and do what you are supposed to do. Or else killing you won’t be too big of a deal.” She said and with clap the knife dissapered and the potion was back in her hands.
.
” You are not only crazy but also with a twisted personality, one side you are trying to save her and the other side you also trying to destroy her. Just what type of person are you? Violet?” She said as the moonlight fell in the person Aka violet’s face.
.
“Ha! Even I don’t know what type of person I am but I know that I am not greedy like you.” Violet said while facing her with a pissed off look on her face.
“Oh really, but I know what type of person you are, Lady Violet, you are a traitor. I am doing everything for money and power but what abut you? You are betraying your friends who trusts you blindly. Now tell me who is the worst you or me?” She said with a smirk on her face while violet just returned around and replied
.
“I am the worst” and with that she dissapered form there without any trace.
.
“Looks like the fate of wheel has started trying again….hah a storm is coming.” His Holiness looking at the sky form the temple said as he sighed.
“Why is my heart so restless?” Irene thought as she closed her eyes and prayed.
