The alarm ringed out as Darcy woke up groggly, the sickness still lingers and he has to deal with it for the next 2 weeks. He heard the knocking on the door as Isaiah and Mary came in with dinner.
They set the tray down before him, mashed potatoes with gravy, 10 meatballs in the same gravy, vegetables, garlic toast, a small plate of cheese cake with whipped cream, strawberry syrup and a glass of apple juice. A glass of water and his medicine placed on the bedside table.
"Isaiah, can you get Eugene out of the closet?"
He asked making the elder man surprised.
"Of course, you must be very-"
Isaiah stated before Darcy cut him off.
"Bring him to the room that was supposed to for the little sister, get him thoughly washed up as he probably reeks, Mary take my old clothes and replace it with the girl clothes. Any items should be sent to whoever in the family or friends you guys have, or sent to the womans shelter."
Darcy spoke in order, making the two dumbfounded.
"But madam-"
Isaiah was worried before getting cut off again.
"Mother doesn't have work, she has never worked since she married father. It just means she's using that as an excuse to cheat. Additional, Eugene is still father's son. He is about to head off to Kindergarten, as such, he needs to be presentable as father would very much hate on tarnished reputation."
Darcy stated with seriousness.
"Have the other two throughly clean that closet as it also reeks. Eugene probably also hasn't learnt to use the toilet so make sure to teach him."
Isaiah and Mary were indeed surprised before nodding, Mary going off to his closet.
"Have the chef prepare digestible foods for Eugene until his able to eat, make sure to also take photo's of whatever is wrong on the body."
Isaiah nodded as he left the room. Darcy sighed before beginning to eat the food, once again savoring the flavour, texture and taste.
"Young master, which ones?"
Mary asked out from the closet.
"3-9 years, he can use them till he can get his own later on."
Darcy replied as Mary said ok, coming out with a batch of clothing still on the hangers. She walked out, coming a few minutes later, repeating this cycle for an hour.
Darcy finished his food, took his medicine and stretched. Mary took his tray back to the kitchen. He got up, headed over to the room. He walked in as he heard water from the bathroom.
He just blanked out as he saw the room.
Same size, but with a more princessy vibe puked in lots and lots shades of pink. Frills laced in different area's and so much more.
Darcy saw Mary's work of packing up all the girl toys, items and clothing. It seemed she placed a more neutral color for the bedding to lessen the princess style the toddler bed was. His room was more for a young growing boy.
He then saw Isaiah walk out carrying Eugene in white towel, looking like a a wet cat. A more duller golden brown hair, more sharper doe shaped eyes, blood red eye color, sickly pale skin. Looks about 3 years old, skin and bones.
"Ah, Young master Darcy. What is it you need?"
Isaiah asked politely.
"This room needs a huge makeover..."
Darcy just stated in disgust.
"Indeed, I'll be calling someone to come make it fit for a boy."
Isaiah announced.
"Make both rooms more neutral, it's just so we can add our own stuff to make it our own room."
Darcy happily said.
"Alright, I'll do it tomorrow."
Isaiah had been speaking while changing Eugene, placing a clean dipper and clothes that Mary set out.
Isaiah stood up as he finished, bowing before heading out, leaving Eugene and Darcy alone. The two just stood in awkward silence before Darcy spoke up.
"Just have Isaiah take photos of anything the happens to you by mother. She's currently on a worktrip, and father head off to another country for work as well. Mother will be back by the end of the week."
Darcy just explained.
"Mommy... doesn't work.."
Eugene just stated.
"I know. Anyways, this will be room from now on. Just tell mother that Father told Isaiah to do this."
Darcy replied before feeling dizzy.
"Okay."
Eugene simply agreeded. Understanding that Cynthia has an odd obsession to whatever Victor says.
Darcy walked out as Isaiah returned with a tray of soup and and a small cup of water. He headed back to his own room collapsing down.
'God damnit, this is going take a while to get over. At least i may have toned down some resentment from Eugene.'
He thought as a knock came.
"Young master, shall i inform master of this change?"
Isaiah asked.
"Yes. Tell father, and if mother arrives before him, tell mother that father told you to do this."
Darcy explained as he rolled to his side, getting into the blanket once again.
"Understood."
Isaiah bowed before closing the door and walking away. Darcy just sighed for the millionth time today, he was overly exhausted because of the rat poisoning.
'Honestly not surprised that I'm still here and not at the hospital. They most likely had doctors come here instead.'
He thought drifting off to sleep. This routine lasted for the week, and the week after.
Darcy stretched as he felt much better as he got out of bed to take a nice bath.
'Father had arrived a day early than mother, he had thought she just went out that night. I would've told him the truth, but i don't have the evidence. So may as well pile it up for the next 5 years, with her cheating and abuse.'
Darcy grinned as he got out, do his morning routine before getting dressed. He walked out of the room and downstairs to the diningroom room, mornings are a rarity to spend time with the full family.
He sat in his chair as Eugene came in next and sat next to Darcy. They began to eat as Cynthia started speaking about her 'daily' activities to her husband. Victor showed no emotion and wasn't even listening.
Victor Kane, a handsome man with a sharp facial structure, same golden hair as Eugene, as well as eyes. Eugene is basically the mini version of Victor.
Darcy only shares the hair color although darker, his practically Cynthia's male version. Cynthia has light brown hair and half doe purple eyes, fair skinned and the perfect body a woman could have.
'Damn, she really is narcissistic.'
He thought as he finished up eating, he made sure Eugene ate as well.
"Father, me and Gene has finished, may we leave to go play before I have to go to school?"
Darcy asked politely. Victor glanced over, seeing both plates finished begore nodding slightly. Darcy smiled as he and Gene left the table.
The two went to the living room that's just across the wall. Darcy patted Eugene's head.
"Whenever mother does something, make sure Isaiah gets a record of it. Pictures or even Videos."
Darcy explained making his little brother nod. Eugene immediately understood what Darcy was planning. Ruining her life.
"Gotta collect as much as possible before presenting it to Father."
Darcy added.
"Ah right, if mother bring home some random dude, make sure to stay hidden and have Isaiah deal with the recording of that."
Darcy also added as he thought. Eugene nodded again.
"Alright, I'll do that."
Eugene spoke, agreeing easily. Darcy patted him again before Mary came up.
"Young master Darcy, it's almost time to head to school."
Mary stated getting him ready with a jacket and bag. Darcy waved goodbye to Eugene as he headed out the door. Victor came out shortly after and got into the car.
The car dropped of Darcy.
"Behave."
Was all Victor said before the car drove off. Darcy just smiled helplessly before heading into the elementary.
'At least Silas wasn't picked on.'
He thought as he walked into his classroom. Due to being sick for the last 3 weeks, he has to catch up on work.
He found it easy but decided to limit it as it would be suspicious if he suddenly became smart.
