The Heir Who Escaped

¹⁶. Hendrik

"Why??!!!" Hendrik shouted very loudly while opening his eyes and cold sweat filled his entire body.

Even though he had already opened his eyes he only saw darkness and his hands involuntarily moved touching the tombstone that belonged to his mother who was beside him.

"Mother, hyster, hyster, hyx, this is scary Mom," she said, sobbing in her mother's tombstone.

He was terrified, his body was trembling and all his clothes had been drenched in sweat.

He needs someone to calm him down from his childhood fears that continue to haunt him.

Her mother died because her father cheated on her, her mother died because her father kicked her out of the house, and her mother was even more guilty because it turned out that she already knew everything but her mother chose to protect her father.

In the end, the victim between the selfishness of both parents is himself.

"Mother, why did you do that? Why protect a useless person like him? In the end, I had to die because of that person...!" Isak Hendrik with a trembling body hugging his mother's tombstone.

"I'm afraid, Mom, I'm afraid, I'm not as strong as you're holding all of this..."

Hendrik had to complain to his mother's tombstone, the man was trembling in his fear but no one could help him.

Lina who was even behind the door of Novita's room was now sitting on the floor with tears in her eyes because she heard Hendrik's hysterical cry from behind the door that blocked his view.

"Madam, I'm sorry, I can't keep Hendrik like Madam looks after Hendrik." Said Lina while sobbing covering her face with both hands.

She has witnessed how over the past year of Novita's life the woman tried to hide Hans's infamy by turning a blind eye to all of Hans's behavior.

But in the end the badjangan brought his female woman home to make Novita can no longer hold back.

"Sorry Madam, back then I was too afraid to stand up for madam." Lina recalled How that night she could only peek out from behind the wall because she was afraid of interfering in the relationship of the two people.

It's his fault too...

...

With a woman on his lap, Hans sat in the living room enjoying wine.

"Master," suddenly Lina came to him and interrupted his pleasure of feeling a young apple under the seductive clothes of a woman on his lap.

The man looked annoyed looking at Lina "What do you want?" Ask.

Withstanding her fear, Lina finally swallowed her saliva then said "It's already the 3rd day Master locked Young Master in the basement, I'm fervent-"

"You dare to arrange me?!" Snapped by Hans who was angry at the brash maid, how dare the woman teach her how to educate her child?

Because of what was spread, he had already gotten embarrassed at the last meeting with the officials in the capital.

So this time he had to completely punish his own son so that the man would never humiliate him again!

"I'm sorry sir," Lina finally resigned herself and went to the basement pasting her ears to the door wall.

The place was very quiet, but the silence made him hear the breath of someone who was like tormented despite only breathing oxygen.

"Gosh, Aden's condition is getting worse. How'this?" Lina was feeling very agitated, already since yesterday she heard Hendrik yelling incoherently and the roar of the man's breath was very heavy and messy.

He was worried that something might happen to Hendrik, but he couldn't do anything to get Hendrik out because the only one holding the key to the room was Mr. Hans.
