Silver was woken up by the rays of sun light that radiated into her eyes as her eyelid flutters before opening and closing due to how intense the sunshine is. After getting used to the it, she slowly sat on her mattress.
What time is this ' she wondered as she looked outside through the window.
What happened to me... Ouch my head hurts like hell' she moaned in pain as she grabbed her head.
'If I remembered correctly Damian was here and we had argument and....he.... Damn that son of bitch". She cursed out loud after remembering what transpired between her and Damian.
Tears streamed down her face as she recollected all the insult she had suffered in the hands of her step mom and her son.
'What did I do to deserve this kind of life ' she asked again as she sobs quietly
'Am I really facing the karma of the sins that I has committed in my previous Life, if that's the case then it means that I am super villain as he said ' she laughed bitterly at herself over her condition.
' why didn't I die instead of my dad? At least I would be able to escape this pain and humiliation that I have endured for many years.
' why am I cursed?
' why did I had my parents taken away from me".
Many thoughts ran through her mind as her eyes were swollen because of how long she has been crying.
Knock! knock! There was a knock on the door which frightened her out.
"Go away I don't want to talk to you" she screamed. Not again she told herself.
" My Lady it is me Rebecca" said a voice from outside.
" Rebecca is that you? Come in" she said after calming her self down.
Rebecca their family chef was one of the few people who treated her well like a human being she is. She always checked on her to know how she was doing. If not for Rebecca, she might have found a way to end up her life since . "Don't give up on your self, there were millions of people out there who their miserable that being in your condition will be considered a blessing for them" , she can't forget it as it was one of the motivational speech Rebecca gave her when she was depressed.
" You are completely a mess my lady " she teased her trying to cheer her up.
" Who cares about my appearance " she replied as she tried to wipe her tears.
"Hush, come on don't look down on your self" advised Rebecca with a gentle voice that showed how much she cares.
" Alright, what are you doing here by the way?" she was surprised because though Rebecca use to pay her a visit,it was usually at or early in the morning when everyone was asleep but to visit right now that is almost evening time is risky.
"Actually it was the madam that sent me to bring you down stairs" she replied her face full movie of worries.
" She sent your brother initially, but he refused to talk since he came back from your room and looking at your situation I can pretty guess what happened" she continues when got no reply from silver.
"How long has it been?" she finally asked
" If you're asking about how long madam had been waiting for you, then it would be almost one hour. But if you are asking about how long it has been since the returning of the young master from your room, though I am not sure but it must have been up to four hours." Replied Rebecca.
'so I have been unconscious for four hours ' she thought
" Please help me meet her so that we can know what she want these time." She said at last.
There in the living room sat a woman who seems to be in her late forties. The living room was big though, by the left side of it was Damian who was pacing up and down, one can clearly see how upset he was.
" Stop it Damian what is the meaning of these."the said in irritation as she watched him pace up and down like a caring husband whose wife was in labor.
" Mom can't you see, she doesn't put us in her eyes anymore, how many hours will it take her to crawl down from that hole she was hiding to this living room, eternity maybe." He spats with annoyance.
His mother wanted to calm him down but stopped after seeing Rebecca pushing Silver on her wheelchair as they made their way to the living room.
"Good evening stepmom, hope I have not taken most of your time." She greeted the woman as her eyes moved to her stepbrother who looked back at with eyes full of madness.
" What took you so long,? Asked asked her brother but was ignored by Silver which fueled his anger more.
" I am asking you, you shameless slut" he cursed
"Enough! " Said the woman who has been silent since , as she couldn't take it anymore.
"Damian and Rebecca leave us alone," her eyes were cold as she ordered leaving no room for questions.
Damian left but not without glaring hatefully at Silver before storming out the living room and Rebecca followed shortly after giving reassuring smile.
"You may be wondering why I called you here which you have every right to " said her stepmom as she started the conversation.
" The reason is that we have had enough,so I want you to move out of the house " she finally declared her intention for summons with her eyes steady and clear as water .
"What did you mean? You can't be serious right" she asked while searching for any hints or clue that suggest she was playing with her, but she find none.
"How am I supposed to do that it's practically mission impossible and you know that right" she was hopeful this time. She just wish that there is somewhere she was leading her with that ridiculous demand.
"How is that my concern? How you do that is none of my business" with detached voice devoid of any emotions, she concluded. She was about to leave as a messenger that had successfully completed her mission when she was stopped by what Silver said .
" You can't practically chase me out this house, you know i am disabled how am I supposed to survive out there and besides this is my father's property, who are you to send me parking " she was desperate, and helpless.
" Your father's house? her eyes glinted as they narrowed, fist clenched as she fought hard to stay calm.
" Listen attentively let me tell you this, you were never a part of this family, never a Mansmoore, you why? She asked
" Because you were picked on the street where you were abandoned to perish. We gave you a new life, a new identity but too bad you didn't cherish it and now you will be having it taken away from you. So what I am saying is that it's now time to go back to where you belong and it's not like there's is anything I can do salvage the situation because I can't afford to feed you now, okay.
Silver sat there completely black out as her mind was spinning trying to comprehend what she just heard, her face was full of disbelief at the words of Garcia her stepmom. She couldn't believe that the man who she had lived with until he died wasn't really her father. No, that is not the truth, she must be saying it on purpose just to drive me out of the house.
"You almost had me there, but I am smarter than you gave me credit for, look I know that you want me out right ,but you can't be desperate enough to fabricate a lie just to see it through" she pointed out.
" Oh you think that you're smart, then tell me Miss smart what did this means " she threw a bunch of documents on her lap as she looked at her with contempt, waiting to see her reaction after reading it.
She wanted to doubt it, but immediately she saw the title and wolf city general hospital boldly written on it on it , she realized that this was truly her amended birth certificate. With this last evidence, her last hope was shattered as tears streamed down her cheeks. It looks like her world has come to an end, she was left alone in this world. Why did they abandon her. She was abandoned when she was a kid, got raped and disabled when she was teenager and now she's about to be driven out of the house too, it seems that for every stage of her life something big must happen, something big enough to change the trajectory of her life . This was what she figured out.
"Well all hope wasn't lost Silver , but it depends on whether you are willing to grab the opportunity or not" she was amused when she saw the expectant look on Silvers face.
Silver felt so tired and exhausted, she don't know what to do anymore, she had stopped crying since it can't solve any problem, rather it gives mrs Mansmoore the satisfaction she wants. It's not not like she has the strength to begin with, so all she could do was listen to whatever Garcia has to say.
"There would be a visitor arriving in a few hours , according to what he told me , he said that his son was interested in you and wish to make you his wife. Can you imagine, someone was interested in you even though I made sure that they understand the fact that you are not a complete package, yet their only reply was don't worry it is alright". She finally said at last, her voice full of disbelief and wonder.
Silver too was flabbergasted by what she heard,as how can it be possible
" And who may he be? Did he lives in wolf city?" She asked as she anxiously waiting for reply
" That, I don't know as a matter of fact I haven't met this mysterious son of his, but as far as it is marriage everything is fine " she answered offhandedly.
" You are literally offering me to some stranger you knew nothing about " the gleamer of hope has long gone without notice.
" Tell me how much did he offer you, for you to be so lackadaisical about this situation.
"He did not offer me any thing, I should be the one thanking him for taking the burden off from my head not the other way round . Well he will be here in a few hours from now you better think about it because wether you married him or not, you are not going to sleep in this house tonight. So you got to choose either your new home where your safety will be guaranteed or the street where your future will be uncertain, it's up to you. In the meantime use this remaining time to freshen up so that he won't change his mind as soon as he opens the door" With that being said, she left.
Silver sat there on wheelchair as she weighed her options, for the fact that the person seems to be interested in her was a mystery on its own, but what choice did she have, well she will rather take the bull by its horn and deals with the consequences later.
