Like a predestined path, Margaretha fell silent staring at the photo of Fino she had secretly kept. His tears flowed, his hands clenched, patting his chest that felt tight.
Feel guilty? That's what plagues her for several years, after finding out the cause of her ex-husband's death. This may be his fault, his son had to pretend to be stupid, in order not to be separated from his biological father. And now, the two men had been at the bottom of the river. A body that was never found, not even a tomb for him apologized.
The surreptitious grudge kept him even more firmly on Gerald. Maintaining the lives of his two daughters who had no academic talent was his priority. If only..and only ..he did not leave Fino, following his ego this would not happen.
Today it remains the same the man brought a younger woman into his home. The woman who was certainly prettier, ate the dinner in front of her. A child who does not stand with his mother? That's Leony, his first child. Consider the attitude of the father is natural. His eyes looked around observing his two younger siblings. Return to eating quietly.
"Honey, I want to be a second wife." The words that came out of the young woman that Gerald brought, made everyone stop eating. With the exception of Margaretha, who was still eating quietly.
"To get married cannot, without Margaretha's permission," Gerald smiled cynically, glancing towards his wife.
Aira (the young lady) stared at Margaretha."I'll be a good honey, help with the house's finances and..."
Margaretha stopped her eating activities for a moment sighing harshly."Since you love each other, then marry. The killer and the paid woman are suitable." he said indifferently back to eating calmly.
"Mother!!" Leony suddenly snapped at his mother. Do not accept the words of the mother who insulted her father."If you don't refuse to have anything to do with your father in bed, you won't be looking for another woman!! Mom still thinks about fat and ex-husband mom, right!? Let them rot in hell!! A mother who is already like a comfort woman, an unfaithful wife, married to a father, but thinks of another man!!"
Queen (the second child of Margaretha) who had earlier harbored his anger began to rise. Throwing a glass in front of him until it breaks into pieces."Mother gave birth to you, but you act as if you were born from this woman's womb,"
"But it's mom's fault!! I'm lucky to meet a guy as perfect as my dad. But still think of another man who has rotted in the ground" said Leony, no less fierce."After all your education, school fees, even though it's always the last rank, you should thank your father for sending you,"
"If you think mom and we are so lucky, I pray for you to get a man as good as dad. So that you become stupid and get beat up every time you get a bad grade!!" queen's tears flowed unbearable, Desi (youngest daughter Margaretha) can only be bowed still, bowed down crying sobbing.
Leony's hand was about to slap Queen. But Margaretha quickly held onto her wrist.
Plaque...
One slap she threw at her eldest daughter."Report me to the police station for the actions of the KDRT. You're smart enough, aren't you? After that, I'll drag your father to jail for the same accusation of beating up your sisters,"
Pissed off? Of course, Gerald got up to throw a glass bowl at Margaretha. But the woman can avoid it.
"I said marry me!! You're a matching couple. I've relented because I don't love you anymore, you want to keep this household because of my father's legacy. If I die now, Leony isn't old enough to be heir, is he? That's why my mother and I (Silvia) are still alive today" Margaretha stared at Gerald.
Gerald smiled."Of course, only Leony and Jameson deserve..."
Margaretha shook her head, staring at the great painting of her late father as a young man."Rion deserved," her tears flowed, remembering never to love her son who for the rest of his life had to pretend to be stupid.
Gerald's hand clenched, worried? Of course, the bodies of Rion and Fino were never found. 193? That's the teenager's IQ, there's a chance Rion might find a way to save himself.
Anxiety that still stuck, until he put Rion's name as the target of a hit man for 8 years. Although without results, but he is sure when Rion appears it will immediately be finished quickly. Without the slightest trace.
"Have you ever met him? The fat fool is dead." the words that came out of Gerald's mouth, which were, in fact, terrified, hesitant with his own words.
"Rion is dead! What an ugly stupid brother! Why do you still admire it! I'm here, I'm entitled to this family!" Leony was still holding onto her cheek that felt numb from her mother's slap."You are nothing more than an unfaithful woman thinking of a dead man. Worse than the lady of the night. If I can choose I don't want to be born from your womb,"
I don't know what Gerald said to make Leony hate Margaretha. However, all the facilities were only prepared for Leony, making him feel special, like a queen who is always glorified. His two brothers were servants or slaves. Margaretha, who always defended her two younger siblings, made Leony even more hate her mother.
However much Margaretha loved her, but her affection was divided between Queen and Desi. His father's love was only for him. Making himself love only the father, consider anything his mother and sisters do is a bad deed.
Margaretha nodded, expressionless. A boy who never sided with him. There are even times when taking money in Silvia's safe is only for her lifestyle that is like a high-income socialite. There are times, she feels like a failure as a mother, when her own daughter had pushed herself from the stairs just because of a small quarrel.
"I don't deserve to give birth to a respectable woman like you. Call Aira mother, from now on, she's your mother" she said.
Leony's hands clenched, it's his mother's fault, not his. A mother who favors her stupid sisters."Alrighty! Aunt Aira, my real mother from now on!!"
Margaretha nodded again, she had given up."I just wanted to remind you. This house, the company, the assets, were all passed down through generations by my father. If my blood is not in your body. You don't have the right to live in this house."
Plaque...
Leony's hand trembled this wasn't the first time he'd slapped Margaretha. But not the mother always relented, but this time why not give in to her?
"Queen, you and Desi have a singing lecture today. We mustn't be late." the words that came out of Margaretha's mouth were full of smiles, grabbing her car keys. It was as if his cheeks did not feel numb at all.
Crying out? He was too tired to cry. Advising also, for the first time, he slapped Leony to educate him not to hurt Queen and Desi. But I don't know how many times the princess who was born from her womb had slapped her. Sick? Of course, not on his cheeks, but his heart was wounded. Somehow it's how to educate a kid that Gerald pampered.
"Without money your father will not be able to pursue! So respect dad!" leony's orders to his two younger siblings.
"This is the legacy of my late son (Rion), so you should thank him for the rest of your life. Your papa? He's just a parasite in my family. He who does not want a divorce, by threatening to kill your brothers. If my brother and I die. It was your father's doing." said Margaretha, pulling Desi's hand, stepping followed by Queen.
"Rion is dead, can't you get up?" jameson asked, slicing meat in front of him.
"You know, right? Your own father killed him, don't talk nonsense with words wanting affection from me..." Margaretha looked back a little, then again stepped away from the residence.
Afraid? He was no longer afraid, only 2 years to live. When Leony was 24 years old, his daughter was already in control of the company. As per his father's will, who wanted his grandson to enter the company, when he was 24 years old. But Rion's gone, Leony took his place. Gerald's favorite daughter.
At that time he, Silvia, and his two other daughters were no longer useful to Gerald. Maybe he will have the same fate as Rion and Fino. He died with his mother and two daughters.
"Mother..." The Queen suddenly hugged him when he was in the car.
"Mother's okay, it's just, if mom suddenly dies, you guys have to run away from home. Hide away! Find your brother Rion, if it's a miracle he's alive. He will be able to help you." he said with tears beginning to flow, clutching Queen's body tightly, worried for his two daughters.
