"Oh, it's good to see that you woke up! Hurry and start working! Don't waste my money just to feed you bitches!" uncle Ferrer yelled.
I'm seething with anger because, since this afternoon and evening, he's always been yelling at me with something. This scene is no different from my real world.
I have to endure all the pain because mom and I need to get out of this house. I can see the sweat on mom's face because it is very difficult to peel coconuts, machinery is not yet available.
"Mom, I'm almost finished. Please put the skins of the coconut in the bag, you can rest now" I felt sorry for the mother's condition. She coughed so hard she couldn't focus on what she was doing.
I continued peeling the coconut until I heard mom's cry in pain. I stood up and left my work to follow her and saw her kneeling and Ferrer holding mom's hair.
"Stop! Don't hurt my mom!" I could not hold myself and pushed him hard, and he sat on the pavement. I stood up to support mom, but two soldiers grabbed me and Ferrer punched me hard in my stomach, causing me to fall to the pavement.
"How dare you push me in front of these people! You will pay for what you did! Lock her in the room!" Ferrer ordered. I could see his anger at me. You deserve it, asshole!
"Please have mercy Ferrer, we're sorry, please don't do this!" Ferrer slapped my mom and dragged her inside the pigpen.
"Stop! Please have mercy on my mom!" I can't release my skills because it's not the right time, but seeing mom suffer is something my conscience can't handle. I was about to jump to knock down the two soldiers, but it shocked me because a fancy carriage came in front of me, and a man who looked like he was in his forties got off.
"Good morning Rafael, I'm glad to see you" Ferrer greeted as if he wasn't concerned about hurting my mom and me.
"What's going on here, why is there chaos here Ferrer?" Rafael glanced at me and mom.
"I only discipline them because they don't do their job during the working day" Ferrer lied.
I can't control my anger, and when mom felt I was about to attack Ferrer, she stopped me and hugged me.
I remembered Rafael was the right-hand man of the emperor, Lucio Sy, one of the best in martial arts and wise in developing strategies for war.
"Emperor Lucio informs that there will be a gathering inside the palace. He will choose a woman for his son Darius Sy" He is always elegant when he talked.
Thereafter, Rafael left for his carriage and drove away. Ferrer ran inside the manor, to inform her daughter about the gathering in the palace.
"I'll make sure everyone is busy and no one will know we're running off," I said
****
At one o'clock in the morning I woke up because of my mom's coughing, I knew that this is the time for her to say goodbye even though it was painful but that was written in the book. I held her hand so she could feel that I was there by her side.
"I won't live long Alexis, be strong in life, and don't let yourself down"
"Escape from your uncle's hand, live your life, and build your own family"
"I will no longer witness the event in your life but you will remain in my heart"
"I love you so much, Alexis"
Even though I'm not the real Alexis, she made me feel how a mother's love is. I remembered the first day of my arrival in this world she was the only one who understood my actions, I hope she has gained her freedom. Goodbye, mom.
It was three in the morning, I finished taking care of mom's funeral, and I went into my room to get my other things. I don't know how to start my life without my mom but I'll think about it later.
I saw through the window that Ferrer was going inside the house, fortunately, the lights were off. Maybe he thought that there was no one here and he could get the other things in here.
Right! I remembered! After the funeral, Alexis will be murdered by his uncle Ferrer. I need to do something to prevent that!
He was holding a knife and attacked me he was about to cut my face but I dodge and kicked him in the balls. I took the knife from his hand and cut out his right eye which caused him to be in pain. "Arggh! fuck you bitch!" he cursed. He is dripping in blood. I kicked him once more and he fell. "You deserve it asshole, I'm not Alexis you knew before"
This time you can't bully an extra cast and I will live my own life.
