Jerry picked up a few groceries, frozen chicken, carrots, veggies, tomatoes, etc., they were on their way home already but he was dropped off momentarily to get a few things of course under the fact that Jack and Jean didn't mind.
He was planning to make a good meal for the kids when they finally reached home, he especially missed Jessica that pampered partner of his (fujoshi).
Finally done, he paid for the cash and got a 'thank you miss' making him nod before leaving with a sigh. With the front parting he had and his facial features, mistaking him for a girl was really simple but either way he didn't really mind much.
He wasn't one of those stuck up on genders, Dina was also kinda a girl, so it was cool.
Reaching home, instead of a happy atmosphere as they had imagined, they were met with a solemn one.
Mrs. Johnson was crying while on her knees to an older beggar-like grandma who also sat on the floor crying hysterically. Mr. Johnson had a slap mark on his face and his head was equally lowered which was actually shocking with regard to how high his pride was.
Jason and the others didn't live at the dorm as they came to school from home but even at that they were on holiday too so they were all there too and their situation wasn't looking too good either.
Jennifer was screaming curses at her father in anger while Jessica was crying sadly, Jason was just there clenching his knuckles so hard that it bled, it was very obvious that he was really pissed, which was really rare for a bubblehead like him.
Jerry dropped his groceries first but restrained from acting, at the end he was only but a maid in the family he wouldn't dare act out of order just because he was given leverage especially not in the Johnsons family matters.
"What's going on here?" Jean said, breaking the err atmosphere in the room.
No one answered him, each all to their grievances, only Jessica ran up to Jack and tackled him in a hug startling Jack. He and Jessica weren't enemies or anything, in fact, they were quite close but when it came to going along well, THAT was a whole different story especially when it came to hanging out with Jerry.
So now she was tackling him in a hug, the right thing to do was to pull her away but in this condition of hers, that was too heartless.
Jack hung his hands up helplessly not knowing where to place them, he looked at Jerry helplessly who also was as confused as him, Jerry shrugged at him feeling a bit lost.
"Brother!! You've been really offended! Father and Mother don't deserve you! Or us! We should all leave and go live together and alone in one place! Away from here!" Jessica whined while crying with tears, snots and all, Jerry not only pitied her but Jack's shirt too.
"Okay, okay, but can someone at least tell me what's going on here?" Jerry asked.
"I'll say everything," Jason said unusually calm.
***
"So, Jack is not our paternal brother?" Jean asked coldly.
"Yeah," Jason answered.
"And, mum wants to divorce dad, huh?" Jean asked again.
"Yes," Jason answered perfunctorily.
There was silence again, Jessica was being consoled by Jerry who hugged her, she really was a still kid, 12 years was but a young child, these things weren't really things kids should hear especially in their own families!
It could cause them depression! But, the milk had been spilled already so no going back.
"Zero, I think I now understand the real reason the Johnsons were adamant about hiding Jack," Dina said to Zero in her mind.
"Indeed host," Zero replied.
What had happened? The Johnsons per culture were watching a family movie together while waiting for Jack, Jean, and Jerry to come back. But suddenly a disturbance was heard, a woman had managed to sneak in! And she was a beggar!
How the hell though…? What about those big bodyguards? What were they doing?
"You killed him! You killed my only son! Mike Johnson, you're a murderer, and you… ELEANOR, witch! Slut! You led him to his death and then ditched him! Whore!
"Even though you were pregnant for him you aborted it JUST TO MARRY ANOTHER MAN!! I HOPE YOU ALL ROT IN HELL! IF THERE IS A GOD! I PRAY HE NEVER FORGIVES YOU!" the lady had screeched hysterically.
The guards here were about to drag her away when Mrs. Johnson ran to the lady and knelt down, the lady tried to hit her plenty of times but the guards held unto her to prevent her.
"Mummy Danison, why are you like this...you…" Mrs. Johnson asked in shock.
"Don't you dare bitch! Don't act all white lotus on me! The man you whored yourself to calling a husband killed my son! Killed him and thought I wouldn't find out! Well, the joke's on you bastard! I may not have evidence because you really cleared your tracks but I have this message!" the lady said while pulling out a phone with a message showing.
The phone read-
'Meet me at 'Tyler's dinner' restaurant, and let's discuss, I'll leave Eleanor for you, but at a price, after all, we may be besties but she's still a valuable omega,' From Mike to Danison.
Mrs. Johnson's eyes showed confusion, then cleared up before suddenly widening in shock as if realizing something shocking.
"Mike, it was the same day THAT A CAR DROVE INTO DANISON AND KILLED HIM! MIKE! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Mrs. Johnson stood up and stumped to Mr. Johnson with anger while asking him.
"I did what I had to do, YOU WERE MINE FROM THE BEGINNING BUT YOU JUST HAD TO FALL FOR THAT FOOL!" Mr. Johnson who had been calm suddenly screamed back angrily in desperation.
SLAP!
It was heard loud and clear, for the first time... Mrs. Johnson had slapped Mr. Johnson but he didn't do a thing, he stood there frozen with the stinging pain but even worse was the sting in his heart.
For the first time, his Elen was looking at him so condescendingly, with rage, hatred, betrayal, and hopelessness in her eyes, he felt his heart shattering especially because of the next statement Mrs. Johnson said-
"After this, I hope to never see you again."
It was a declaration of divorce and if the kids that were there knew then he'd be a fool not to know.
"Are these your kids? I'LL TELL THEM! TELL ALL OF 'EM WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND ARE! EVEN IF YOU DON'T GO TO JAIL ELEANOR AND MIKE, I'LL RUIN YOUR FAMILY AND DRAG YOU ALL TO THE HELL I'M FACING NOW!" Danison's mum screeched in anger before starting her tale.
No one stopped her because even if she didn't tell this story the Johnsons would have to.
***
Danison was a young handsome male among the few that surpassed ancients in beauty and in other features, he was simply abnormal and that was why Mike had taken interest in him. Mike was a very ambitious person and only had one goal in mind and that was power.
His parents had made a contracted marriage with Miss. Eleanor a young beautiful orphaned omega, the orphanage had agreed and in exchange they'd help her throughout her entire studies and in finding a job.
His parents had chosen Elen and not any other ancient because Eleanor was meant to be a Pure at birth but an incident happened, she was given birth to as an anemic child and needed blood urgently or she'd have died, due to this fact, her blood was tainted with an Ancient's and she lost her chance of being a pure but her blood was still 95% Pure however.
Any Pure given birth to or any person close to being a Pure was very precious and were either betrothed or their main focus would be in the military, helping their countries with high pay and status, thus, never getting married.
Eleanor was precious and special and they felt really happy that they managed to snatch such a treasure before another did, Mike really didn't care as long as his ambition of being top was fulfilled.
One day, Elen had gone out to buy some snacks with the money the Johnsons had gifted her, she giggled happily, her to-be-husband was such a handsome alpha!
His dark green hair was so pretty and his eyes so~ gorgeous, and he was so kind!
Thinking about how he had kissed her cheeks made her flush, ayah! Two years apart from her but so princely and mature~, 12-year-old Elen couldn't be happier to have such a promising husband.
As she was coming back some nasty pedophiles attacked her, she had followed an alley so as to sneak into the orphanage and consume her snacks alone, she didn't want to give anyone but now those big men would hurt her now!
Tears streamed down her face as she tightly closed her eyes, just as she was about to give up a knight in shining armor rescued her!
He was so amazing, beating all those big boys alone with his small body. He looked at her and his gaze softened, his dark green hair fell over his face making him sweep it back and his green cat eyes that showed couldn't be more seductive.
He opened his lips, his voice was calm and soothing, and he asked kindly-
"Hey little girl, where's your home, I'll take you there…"
"KYAAA!!" Elen screamed in excitement with blood gushing from her nose, OMG! If her husband was a prince then this guy was a hot vampire!!
'Ah! I don't want the other! I want this one, he's so handsome!!'
They ended up in the park sitting together on a bench with a bruised Danison, he had been beaten by an alpha police that magically appeared for attempted rape after Elen screamed, or so he had seen, if Elen hadn't explained, Danison would have gone to the police station with him.
"Sorry, I just..." Elen started pitifully.
"*Sigh* It's okay, getting traumatic and shouting was expected, after all you're just a kid," Danison said whilst patting her head soothingly.
"Big brother, why didn't you beat the police too, you're so strong! That mean police was no match for you!" Elen said with a pout.
Danison felt his heart melt, she was really too cute and naïve, just like his sister… ah, little girl, do you want big brother to end up with the police? Even if they can't put me in jail, they still have their ways of dealing with me you know, it's not like am an Ancient that they'll spare no matter the crime.
"The police are good people, so, I can't hurt them but those guys that tried to hurt you are bad guys, that's why I hurt them, okay?" Danison said softly with an amiable smile that totally side-blinded Elen.
"Kay! Big bro!" little Elen said cutely making Danison soften all over.
***
Years later, Elen and Danison started dating, Danison and Elen had fallen in love with each other, it was like they were meant to be. They always somehow met, at school, the orphanage Elen stayed at was even close to their house.
Elen always visited Mrs. Terra who was a widow, she single-handedly raised Danison and Elen couldn't be any prouder, she swore to herself that she'd be a good mother like her.
Throughout the years, the JohnsonS family had a few issues and because of that hadn't visited Elen for years, Elen as a now 20-year-old lady with a 5-year-old relationship with Danison had totally forgotten about them.
As a little girl, she was only told that Mike might be her husband but she had assumed it was childhood matters, the kind where people played matchmaking between kids, in the first place why would such high-status people want her? So she had ruled him off after falling for Danison.
Her relationship with Danison was hidden because the orphan nun taking care of her had warned her not to date anyone at all, Elen being the stubborn girl she was after the nun refused to tell her the reason, disobeyed her.
Disaster stroke one day, Mike was Danison's bestie and he thought that lying to his bestie too about their relationship wasn't quite right and per agreement, he had shown Elen to Mike at a school garden. Mike was surprised that he went to the same school as Elen but even more shocked when he found out about her relationship with Mike.
Danison left Elen and Mike to go get snacks and all and hoped that they would get acquainted, he had bragged so much about his girlfriend to Mike that bastard.
When he was single, Mike would always tease him about being single and brag about he had a hot omega as a fiancé. But now, hehe~, he was the one bragging, he would see whether that stinky brat would have the mouth to tease him anymore.
When Danison left, Elen was still bringing up minor topics to ease the solemn atmosphere when she found Danison glaring at her, she couldn't take it anymore and she screamed-
"Hey! What's with you?!"
"Do you know that you're betrothed?" Mike had asked with his fierce red eyes piercing right at her.
"You, you're joking! If I was betrothed I would be told! And you don't even know me!" Elen huffed angrily.
"Ask the nun who takes care of you," Mike said while standing up and leaving without a second word.
He was raging, another man had what was his, and for five years?! That nun wouldn't see the end of this!
"Huh? Miky left?" Danison asked confusedly.
"Yeah, he had something on," Elen said with a fake smile while biting her cheeks inside nervously which was what she did when nervous.
Elen had gone home later and asked the nun who told her that indeed she was betrothed, she cried and cried to sleep, how in the world was she supposed to break up with Danison? She loved him!
They had been through many things together! Criticisms from people for wasting her life with a normal and abuse from the guys who were crushing on her to Danison! Their promise of marriage, looking at the bracelet that Danison had given her, she broke down crying again.
At night the next day, Elen was about to sneak out, she had planned elopement, all she needed to do was meet Danison and explain, she knew he would understand, he always did.
But all her plans got foiled when she was suddenly called in by the nun and angrily berated for dating even after her warning and then told that she was being watched 24/7, therefore no more Danison or she'd face the wrath.
Elen was grounded with no gadgets for a whole week, she later found out that her betrothed was Mike.
She couldn't do this to Danison, She was being married out in 3 months, she'd marry immediately after their graduation which was in a month.
Elen decided to instigate something, she couldn't destroy her omega life because those genes were in her blood and although drugs for that existed, it was illegal, too expensive, and deadly to the fact that 9 out of 10 had died taking it.
But as a medical student and a good one at that, her teacher had entrusted a few heat-inducing drugs to her for safekeeping, she sneakily drugged a few of the omegas including herself.
Chaos struck, heat-inducing drugs could even cause early awakening but at a cost of possible damage to spiritual powers but Elen wasn't that heartless, she only drugged already awakened omegas.
All of them were virgins without a mate and alphas were also in the place, it would be disastrous. Locking them all up in one room they called the doctor for help.
Elen had taken a heat-suppressing one along with the inducer, very deadly but for her plan she had no choice, so unlike others, her heat hadn't gotten to her head.
Using her awakened power, which was cat abilities, (her ancient ancestor was a cat), and sneakily climbing the window, she broke off the window and snuck away, the other omegas were too gone to even notice her.
She ran to Danison and just then her heat began, Danison was a normal and couldn't mark her but he had drugs to help her but that wasn't Elen's plan, seducing Danison, she slept with him.
The next day she had explained everything to Danison and he could only sigh, he loved Elen to much and eloping and changing identities with her was hard. If it was before he would have only steeled his heart and broken up with him, Elen knew this and that was why she slept with him, he would never give up Elen after defiling her, he wasn't scum.
Elen wouldn't be pregnant, they knew this but even at that they had still wanted to marry because their love was strong, Danison made a decision, that night he took his car packed up, and bolted with his mum and Elen, the Johnsons were too strong for him, handling them was impossible.
Mrs. Terra was a kind-hearted woman, after hearing their story, she had cautioned Elen severely but after that agreed on their decision, although not quite happy, she still accepted Elen and Elen couldn't be happier.
Everything went well for the next month. Elen although not a graduate was pretty smart and was a good novelist and became a paid writer, her salary was good, around $5000 dollars, plus around $1000 dollars more from the menial jobs she was doing.
Danison had graduated already and got a good job as a teacher, having good qualifications paid off and his salary wasn't just fat, it was obese, more than enough for them, and with enough savings, he would rent a better apartment and send his Elly to finish her education officially.
Elen had gone to the hospital around the next month because she was afraid that her act of taking the omega inducer and omega suppressor together had harmed her somehow and found a shocking truth, She was pregnant!
But how was that possible? Her husband was a normal, and she couldn't be marked, an unmarked couldn't be pregnant.
The doctor was shocked too and deduced that it was possible that although not an Ancient, Danison may be her fated one!
She was so happy she ran all the way home... only to find a deserted home and a message on her phone.
'Sorry Elly, I couldn't handle it anymore, the truth was that, actually, my mum didn't accept you and she got me a new girl. She decided we should hand you over to the Johnsons, they paid us real good and the price was worth more than a whore like you. Bye, hope to never meet ya again.'
"NO, NO, NO, NO! IMPOSSIBLE!" Elen screamed while dropping her phone like it was a hot potato burning her hands.
"Yes possible, did he send his private line to you? I told him to, he really is a good best friend and knows to leave a guy's girl for him," Mike who had appeared to take Elen away said mockingly
He really had did, nobody had access to that line except him! He… he… really hated her?
Elen's whole world crashed, she never believed that she was so horrible that her Danison could actually hate her...
NO! IT WAS A LIE SHE DEMANDED TO SEE DANY, LET HIM SAY IT! SAY IT TO HER FACE THAT HE MEANT IT! THAT ALL THESE DAYS, WEEKS, AND THROUGHOUT THIS MONTH….. HE HAD BEEN DECEIVING HER ALL ALONG!
Seeing Elen break off in a run, Mike frowned before ordering the guards to take her away. Elen screamed till her voice was crooked but no one helped her, all was lost, she had lost all that kept her going.
Danison didn't even wait to see his child, how could he be so wicked? That wasn't her Dany! That wasn't Mommy Dany either!
What did they do to him? Mummy Danison? What exactly did…
***
The Johnsons wedded her, and helped her get her certificate but she decided to be a writer instead, she had no passion for medicine again, and writing would help her keep her Dany in her mind and heart. Something must have happened, she refused to believe Danison left her like that.
They found out she was pregnant and derided her but after hearing the doctor's hypothesis, they decided to give the child a chance hoping for him to be a Pure but were disappointed when they found out that the baby was a normal.
The first time Elen laid her eyes on the baby she cherished it, everything, everything looked like Danison, was like Danison. At birth, it was strong enough to break its baby bed, tear apart a cloth like paper, was so beautiful that its smile could steal a soul, was so smart that his first real talk was at 6 months, although it had said 'pet', so cute.
Elen's smile became constant everyday taking care of the child, she felt like he was her little Danison, Mike who had only seen Elen's dull eyes was entranced with the sparkle and smile that she always had when she looked after Jack, who wouldn't?
Those shimmering light-green eyes, the glow that her face had when she smiled, her former dull eyes and voice had become livelier and the thinness and paleness she had due to depression was gone, replaced with a slim and slightly curvy but plump body, her skin became healthier and although still pale, it was ruddier and prettier.
The former Johnsons had died in a plane crash and couldn't see the other kids of Mike but the former Mrs. Johnson had made a command that if Mike wanted her to die peacefully that she wanted Jack far away from her grand kids, and as the only child, Mike was a mommy boy that always listened to his mom and never failed her.
That was why he separated Jack from the main family against all of Elen's plead, outcasting a young aged Jack of five from his own family, he even warned Elen not to meet Jack especially when he noticed that Elen seemed to choose Jack over her other kids.
He threatened to send Jack away to the orphanage if Elen didn't behave and out of fear Elen finally kept to herself and could only watch in sorrow and reluctance as Jack lived a life filled with loneliness and devoid of familial love.
Jack was cold to the kids because he felt that they were the reasons he wasn't loved, the reason became a tragedy until Jerry came.
He was reluctant at first to associate with them but seeing Jerry trying so hard he decided to give it a chance.
Mr. Johnson really didn't like this and had wanted to pull away Jerry's position from him but needed a new maid to do so, when the other nanny quit, Mrs. Johnson had been adamant about Mr. Johnson finding a new one.
She could condole Jack being outcasted because she had no choice but not being treated unfairly by her husband was a No! She took her stand and threatened that if Mr. Johnson sent Jack to the orphanage that she, Eleanor, would divorce him, Mike, and adopt her son while taking her kids away from him!
Mr. Johnson had been hand-tied, he knew that she had been condoling him to prevent the kid's life from being hard but he knew that when Elen got serious, shit could get down.
He could use his power to tie her down but the instant his enemies found out his plight, they could use it against him and even help Elen, divorce was a NO for him.
When Jean proposed to send Jack and Jerry to high school, he saw an opportunity to separate Jack from his kids, as for Jean, he knew that he was smarter than going close to Jack and risk revealing his identity.
He had finally gotten a new maid and had planned on chasing Jerry out when he came back from high school with Jack when... this happened.
