K-Brothers And The Little Maid

Leigh-Ann’s POV

” I hate fire. Why are we even talking about him? I’m still wondering how we got here ”

” I don’t know either ” She responded and we both laughed ” Come. I’d like to show you something ”

Quietly, I followed her out and we went to a place she called the underground room. The room was dark but Alejandra turned on the lights immediately and I looked around. It was all clean with different types of equipment in it.

” This is where useless things are kept, ” Alejandra said and I wondered. Then why are we here?

She walked further into the room and I followed behind, still looking around me in surprise. Finally, she encoded a door and we walked into the room. It was also dark.

” What are we doing here? ” I was forced to ask.

” You’ll find out ” She responded and finally turned on the light. I looked around as the room was empty unlike the other room but when I looked up, there was this large portrait on a portrait stand that faced the other side. Alejandra nudged me forward and I walked over curious to find out what it was.

” But first, you’ll promise never to say a word to anyone, ” Alejandra said and I stopped to stare anxiously at her. What does she mean? I nodded anyway cause I was rather impatient to see what was in front of the fame.

We rounded the room, facing the exit but looking at what was in front of me made me scoff. There I was thinking it was something extremely important.

” A picture? ” I voiced out in amusement. Alejandra nodded quietly and it got me thinking. What was so important about it anyway?

Quietly, I looked down at the big portrait, studying it carefully. What surprised me was how familiar the person in the picture looked. It was like I’d seen her but didn’t know where. I wasn’t even sure.

” Who’s she? ” I asked but Alejandra didn’t respond immediately. Did I ask the wrong question? ” I don’t know but she looks familiar. Like I’ve seen her or people who look like her ”

She nodded ” You’ve got it right. She’s their mother ”

I scoffed. Who’s mum?

” She’s dead but gladly, the boys lived ” When I heard her mention the boys, I knew she was talking about the brothers.

My mouth dropped. So this was their mother. I stared down and indeed, she was one very beautiful lady with dark hair, nicely curved brows, long lashes, a deep set of average golden eyes, a beautifully carved nose, and small reddish lips. She was smiling in the picture and showed her perfect dentition along with her dimples on both cheeks, how beautiful.

” But.. How… How did she die? What happened? ” Since no one ever mentioned a thing about the brothers’ parents, I was so curious to find out.

” Mum said she abandoned them after giving birth. She wanted them dead ” Alejandra said and I gasped in shock. What? Why?

As I turned to look at the picture again, I had this sour feeling in my guts. I couldn’t believe I was admiring her some minutes ago.

” Why? Why would she want her children dead? ”

Alejandra shook her head ” I don’t know. Mum never told me and I think the boys don’t know anything either. They don’t even know she wanted them dead”

” And their father? ” I asked curiously.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

” Dead. He died even before they were born. He was a rich lord, the richest man in the world at the time but don’t ask me how he died, I don’t know either ”

Damn, it sounded ridiculous ” So… How did the boys survive? ”

Alejandra was quiet for some time as if thinking of my question and how to give a response. It got me worried.

” Their father’s nanny saved their lives. Mum said the lady went ahead to beg the people that were sent to kill them. They were just three days old and as I said, they don’t know this story ”

Three days old? Like three fucking days?

Gosh, I felt sorry for them. I didn’t even know how to take the whole story in. What kind of mother would want to kill her children? Would want to kill seven people she housed in her body for good nine fucking months? Why would she make such sacrifices and still try to kill them?
