The Hate His Touch

Feel the Pain

I was sitting in a place far away from Albert. I am still afraid of what he did to me.

"Why are you sitting there?" albert looked at me intensely.

I just looked down and started to sit next to him. Albert smiled at me who had moved. I tried to hold back my tears. I was scared and depressed to be near him. I feel like someone touched my hand. I flinched and pulled my hands rough. I looked towards Albert who was speechless seeing my rejection. I looked down in fear at his face which looked very angry.

"I'll eat in the garden."

"Stay sitting there" he said coldly.

I was afraid to hear his voice. I still feel his glare at me.

"Eat it" he said softly.

I stared at my food without interest. Slowly I started eating my food. I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. I also didn't want to make Albert run amok and drag me into the room. He kept watching me without making a sound. I look like a prisoner in my own house.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I got to the office. I feel really depressed being at home. I'm afraid Albert did something I didn't want. I was shocked when I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" I said calmly.

I stroked my chest that was pounding because I was surprised to hear the knock on the door.

"Excuse me, Miss. Outside is Mr. Robert" said my secretary.

I nodded telling him to let in, Mr. Robert. I stared at Mr. Robert, who was smiling, looking at me.

"You okay? Your face is pale" said Mr. Robert.

"I was never good, sir. I am tired and no longer strong. I need a break from all of them. When was the evidence found?" I said desperate.

I tried to hold back my tears that were almost dripping on my eyes.

"I have the proof" said Mr. Robert.

I sighed when I heard Mr. Robert's words. There was a feeling of relief but there was also a feeling of sadness. This means I'll be in rehab soon, but I'm gonna lose Andrew.

"What do you get?" my many.

Mr. Robert took out the map he was carrying. I opened the map and found out that Clara did kill daddy. I shed tears as I remembered how daddy loved Clara. Maybe I won't be too sad when he betrays daddy, but with the heart he kills daddy who loves him more on my appeal. I remember daddy always defending Clara whatever Clara did was always right. Even daddy was willing to hurt his only daughter for Clara. Why is the world so cruel to my family? Why did God put us this way? I still stared blankly at the photo of Clara bribing daddy's private driver to break the brake line. I laughed softly while imagining daddy's disappointment to Clara when she was alive. Look at the chest even the woman you adore prefers your treasure over your love.

"Your daddy driver is still alive because he got out before the car got into the ravine." I closed my eyes when I heard the fact Mr. Robert mentioned. My body trembled withstanding anger. I threw my hand until my handbooks turned white. I know the goodness of my family to all the workers who serve us. It is as easy as they betray us who have been very kind to them just for the money.

"You okay?" ask Sir Robert to look at you worried.

I got up from my place and tried to take a heavy breath. It felt like my soul was being forcibly pulled. To breathe it was so hard that I had to hit my chest.

"Continue" I said coldly.

I saw Mr. Robert hesitantly telling me the next information. Slowly she gave me a brown envelope and handed it to me. I opened the envelope and was surprised to see the photo inside the envelope. I looked at Master Robert who nodded reassuringly to me. I laughed when I saw the more painful facts. Destroyed is my defense. I growled furiously while covering my face with both hands. It felt like a burden that I felt was too heavy. I'm tired of all the realities that can't even make me feel better. I feel worse. The burden I bear is so heavy that I cannot bear to hold on to my tears.

"Yes, she's your mother's half-sister. Clara Dominic was the bastard son of your grandfather with Rena Dominic. At that time your grandfather had an affair with his secretary Rene Dominic for 3 years and when Rene was pregnant your grandfather left Rene because your grandmother knew about their relationship. Rene was just dumped by your grandfather. Her life was so difficult as long as she was pregnant.

When she gave birth to Clara, Rene left Clara in front of the fence of your grandfather's house and finally Clara was taken care of by your Grandfather. At that time your grandmother refused to accept Clara. Only your mother and grandfather would accept it. At that time your mother who was only 5 years old loved Clara as much as her own sister. But when Clara was 5, your grandmother dumped Clara into a brookly orphanage. Your grandfather was angry, but couldn't do anything. Clara's held a grudge against your family since childhood and the accident that killed your mother was also included in Clara's plans. He paid the driver who also killed your father to break the airbags and brakes in your father's car" Mr. Robert said.

I widened my eyes to hear all of Mr. Robert's stories. I stared at the old photo that showed 2 little girls playing with a handsome guy.

I'm sure the girl who looks more mature is mommy and the little girl who wears pink ribbons is clara. I also recognized the man's face, that of grandfather. Tears have washed my cheeks. I try to catch my breath that feels tight.

"Is Albert involved?" my many.

"Albert was not involved at all. He's even the one who's looking for all this information for you. All this time he approached Clara to get evidence of Clara's crimes. He teased Clara not to torture you more often and let you replace your daddy" said Mr. Robert.

I realized I had misjudged Albert all along. I always accused him of conspiring with Clara to destroy me. Unknowingly I've become an ungrateful evil woman. I closed my eyes while hitting my chest which felt increasingly claustrophobic.

What was mommy's fault that she could do that? Even from the evidence that was revealed, mommy loved Clara very much. It was all seen from the old photos in front of me that showed the figure of a mommy who was hugging while laughing with Clara.

I wiped my tears rough. I didn't know Clara was such a disgusting person. I was disgusted by her ungrateful attitude towards mommy. With a brace she snatched away her stepbrother's husband. I looked at the photo of mommy on one of the walls of my room. I feel the pain that Mommy feels. I know mommy's sick when she sees daddy forget about her.
