"Lies! Tell me you are lying please..." My eyes begging them. "Have I not been a good girl?" I cried out threwing the plates before me.
He utter annoying, "Tsk such a troublesome. Had I not warned to stay away from us?"
"So...all those affection were fake??!"
"..."
"We won't abandoned you of course because it will bring a bad image to the company. You will live lavishly as the daughter of this prestige household but you can never be our sister." He looked at me conflicted.
"Why...would you go so far...?" I hiccup wiping my tears.
"Why you say?" He scornfully tilt his head in annoy, "Would you accept the child of the mistress who was the cause of the first mistress death?!" He looks away sadly to hide his bitterness, "Poor mother she was never loved."
"Wh-what do you mean??" I ask in utter speechless.
"Oi... big brother!" The second brother interrupts when the word of their mother was being mentioned clearly displeased at the fact of being told. But refrain himself.
"Even after years of marriage, he continued to notoriously met that shameless woman behind her back. He would never be forgiven for his unfaithfulness...." His face flushed red in anger.
"No...." I shook my head in denial, "This can't be true....You are a liar! Stop badmouthing mama!" I yelled.
He stares mutely at me but grins in smug with hateful eyes after he frantically think of something, "But look now...serves her right for snatching someone else man."
I weep continuously, "Please stop....."
"It gets on our nerves everytime you address us with such love with that tiny mouth of yours! Only if it wasn't for father's sake we wouldn't have to put an act in the first place and get into this trouble."
[Flashback: Three years ago]
"What!?? I cant believe you're doing this to us!!" Shouted the eldest son.
"They need us. They've got nobody..." Said the man in a careful tone.
"Cleared her debts. Paid her financial and medical expenses and what not, fine! But to be living with us? The audacity of that woman!"
The man heave a deep sigh and speaks nodding his head, "I suggested...." He turns his back on them and pretends to stare at the birds from the glass windows, "I was the one who decided this."
"She has clearly seduced you! It hasn't been a month since mother passed away yet you decide to bring a woman to live with us...." He says in grief.
"If anyone is to be blamed it is me. That woman is innocent..." He talks in serious guilt.
He scoff and shake his head in astound sarcastic, "Wow dad...We knew you never cared about mom but to be siding with that woman is something to be notable."
He turns back in utter speechless, "...."
"Its because of your notorious deed that she chose to end up her life!"
"Enough...." He says in guilt clenching his fist.
"Everybody knows! They talk how foolishly you are after that woman. Do you even love us? I doubt if we are even your real sons!!..."
A sharp blow of slap stirred up the room making the second son flinch in surprise at the action of his father who was present in the secret conversation. The younger sons who were forbided in the room were secretly eavesdropping them by the door. They were hurt and awfully shock.
The eldest son frozed when he felt a hit in his face leaving a red mark on his cheek that was stinging him.
The man withdraws his hand in regret, "I...Iam sorry..." He let out a deep breath, "I didn't want to hurt you but you compelled me to do this..." He lay his hands on his shoulders, "Who said you're not my son? You are! And I will always love you all. But please... just for this one. For my sake...."
The son lower his eyes in shame, "Sorry dad..." He pauses, "You are the man of this house we have no right to say over this matter, forgive your son..."
He sighs a relief of stress, "You will come to understand why I did this." He says patting his shoulder. He change his tone of voice, "Because there is someone you're going to meet. Call your brothers. You will be meeting her today, your step sister..."
