Chapter 24 - Remembering past

I was sobbing again listening to Maa. I was angry what made my gramp to leave me like this, what happened that year. I went to washroom cleaned my face held Maa's hands " Maa what can you remember happening that day or tell me everything you know why my mom married that monster and who is my Maternal family".

Maa rubbed my hand " I will tell you but you have to promise on your mother's grave that you will not contact them before you turn 22". I nodded " I promise, now tell me everything from starting". Ella started with her explanation " your mother is only legitimate daughter of Diablo family, she had two adopted brothers they were twins Michael and Austin, your mother loved them both but she had special bond with Austin they were like two souls in one body they had a way to understand each other's troubles".

When Miss Victoria started her college she met Mr Mathew and they fell in love fast, actually your mother rejected him first but he wooed her like movies there were daily flowers and gifts. Finally your mother accepted him. That day young master Austin left our home to study in Abroad. Miss was devastated but soon Mr Mathew made her forget everything. That time Hawthorne enterprises were in loss and Mr Mathew made Miss Victoria to work with him. Patriarch Diablo was so angry that instead of helping him in his huge business she was helping a stranger.

But Miss Victoria was stubborn she left the house and started living with Mr Hawthorne in his mansion finally there joint effort worked there business bloomed and they married. Whole Diablo house refused there attendance but Miss Victoria despite being sad she started happy married life with Mr Mathews. Finally she was pregnant with you, everything was going well. But due to complications in pregnancy she was asked to stay away from Mr Mathew. But Mr Mathew didn't like this distance and started having affairs outside.

Young Madam was so upset seeing Mr Mathew's behavior she started loosing weight and became sick then one day she called young master Austin to her house claiming she wanted to go back. Mr Austin came that night itself to take her back but that night I don't know what happened your mother died and that deal was made.

I was shocked and angry at my mother for her poor choice of husband. I asked Maa " what happened to uncle Austin. Maa shook her head " I don't know anything as I was a mere assistant to your mother but your Gramp asked me and Mia to be your protector and care taker in this house. I was silent while Maa was remembering her days when everything was normal.I sighed and asked Maa " I want to leave school and attend home schooling". Maa was shocked she knew something must have happened but didn't force me and left the room to make the arrangement.
