Prisoner Of Her Love - Chapter 19 Memories From Childhood 4
Suddenly door opened and a lady around Fortyfive to Fifty years old came inside. There was a man with her who was around the same age as her father.
“Harrison! Oh my God! what happened to you! what am I going to do now? doctors, say something! Please don’t let him die yet,..I mean don’t let him leave me alone!!! ” she started wailing loudly.
“Mother calm down, there’s nothing we can do now. Father, he is dead. He left us. Accept it. ” The man beside her said.
“Oh Timothy, what do we do now! You’ve became orphan! I have lost my beloved husband! why didn’t I die instead of him! God is so unfair! ”
“It’s true, if you should’ve died instead of him it could have been better. ” John said.
” Elder brother, how can you say such things to Mother, don’t forget she is the wife of our father. ”
” My father had only one wife which was my mother and she is dead. I don’t acknowledge any other random woman who claims to be my father’s wife and my mother. ”
“Johnson dear, how can you say such things to me? I am your mother! ” lady Brandon said.
“You are no mother of mine. ”
“John, please calm down. This is not the right place to do this. ” Casey tried to stop John.
” You b*tch! You changed his mind! How dare a lowly woman stand beside us! I know how characterless you are!” Lady Brandon yelled.
“How dare you said those words to my mom! ” suddenly Vivian roared.
” Who are you? why are you meddling in our family’s business? ” Timothy spoke.
“Excuse me, I dare not meddle in your filthy family’s issues, but that woman said ill words about my mom. I can’t just act deaf. ”
“You…you are Vivian? ”
” Indeed I am. ”
“Timothy stop. she is my granddaughter. She is a family member. ” lady Brandon said.
“Mom, dad what’s happening here? ” Vivian said.
“Vivian, please wait outside for us. leave us for a while. ” John said.
“But dad, ”
“Go, I am really fine. ”
“OK, I’ll wait outside. ”
“Johnson, why did you sent her outside? She is a family member. ”
” She is young and I don’t want her to get involved in this matter. ”
Suddenly a person came inside. He looked professional and his expressions were serious.
” I am the lawyer appointed by Mr. Brandon. I am here to inform you that I have his last will . And I would like to read it in front of every family member in the Brandon Mansion. It was suggested by himself. ” He said.
” He, he never told me about it! are you sure? ” lady Brandon said.
” He wanted to keep it secret until his death actually arrives. ”
“Okay, I suggest that we should head back to Mansion and prepare for his funeral. After funeral everything will be clear. ” Jonhson said.

After the funeral the family of three had to stay in the Mansion for few days for some rituals. They had to agree unwillingly.
In these days Vivian learned the black history of her family. Her biological grandmother, grandfather, how she died, her father’s sufferings to fight for the head position, everything. Her father was at loss because he gave birth to a girl not a boy. He needed a succesor to continue the family line. On the other hand her step -uncle had a son, who can continue the tradition. Even though she and her father was the legimite offsprings but they were weak because she is a girl.
For the first time in her life she regretted being a girl. She really wanted to help her dad but she couldn’t. She felt helpless. During their stay the Lady Brandon was awfully nice to her also the step uncle and his son were not bad.
One day when she lost her way to the guest room where she was staying, she came across a room. She wanted to see what was in there due to curiosity. Before she can take further step she heard something and it made her froze on the ground. Sneakily she leaned over the wall and heard the entire commotion.
After that without making any noise she left and eventually found her way back to her room.
She couldn’t believe her ears, how disgusting! Her beloved uncle who pretended to be pure and fillial was like that?
The sounds were terrifiying but the images were utterly ridiculous and dirty.
Her uncle was currently having fun with a woman who was crying and screaming. He was r*ping her! She tried to resist but the man slapped her, beated her and… Disgusting, completely disgusting!
she was boiling in rage, she didn’t know that to say, or how to respond to this! She was indeed young but she knew the relationship between men and women .
She could clearly understand what was happening with that woman. She felt like throwing up. She was so terribly terrified. Unfamiliar feelings rose in her mind.
Dirty, so much Dirty!!!
She shivered in shock. She couldn’t erase that picture. She was merely fifteen when she had to experience such a thing.
