Chapter 96 - 96 - Half Sisters
My thoughts were cut off when I heard him laugh. I stared at him and he was like a devil in disguise. I started to hate him. How I wish he really wasn\'t my father.
"Love? There\'s no such thing. You will only end up miserable if you continue to love someone. Love makes you weak." He said.
I felt like he had been hurt before. He was in love once but he was just too proud that he couldn\'t accept it.
"You\'re wrong. Love makes you stronger and a better person. Have you ever fallen in love?" I asked.
He was surprised, I could see it in his eyes. No words came out from his mouth.
"When will you want to do the DNA test?" He changed the subject by asking about the test.
"We could do it tomorrow here." Kyle answered.
Kyle was silent when we started talking about mother. I know he was also hurt by what we learned about mom. Like me, he never knew her. He was given to grandpa six months after he was born while mom died the day I was born. Fate really knows how to play tricks on us.
Me and Kyle were separated then met through Emily after two decades. Then I met Jayden and we became a couple not knowing that his mother and my father were once engaged and that both of them came from a Mafia Clan.
The worst part? My father was responsible for my mother in law\'s murder. How lucky can we be? Both of us had a bad childhood. I was abandoned by my foster father in a mansion while he witnessed the murder of his mother. Our mothers were engaged with the same man once who happens to be the most cruel man of the Mafia.
"Then I guess we\'re done here. I\'ll come back tomorrow. If you are really my daughter, expect to be called by me so you could meet the rest of the family." He said.
"I\'m not interested in meeting your family. We just need to know the truth, that\'s all. If you turned out to be my real father, forget that we met. I just need a confirmation." I answered in a firm voice.
His expression became dark and I saw that he was about to get close to me. Jayden was quick enough to pull me to his back and glared at Matthew. The royal guards and Jayden\'s security team were also quick to act; they were holding their weapon ready to attack.
Matthew grinned and raised his two hands in surrender. The woman beside him suddenly tensed. And I heard her call him father. So she was supposed to be my half sister.
"Relax. I just want to see you closer." He said, looking at me.
"I won\'t allow it. Margaret has nothing to do with you. Whether you are his father or not, you are still a stranger to us. Don\'t you dare get close to my wife or I swear you will regret it." Jayden warned him.
"You\'re a brave young man. I liked it. But talking to me like that won\'t scare me. I do what I please and I get what I want." He said, glaring at Jayden.
I touched Jayden in his arms and signaled the guards to calm down. Then I faced my father.
"What do you want? You said even if I am your daughter, we couldn\'t have a real father and daughter relationship. Why do you want me to meet your family?" I asked.
There\'s something that he wasn\'t telling us. His words were different from his reaction most of the time. Like when he heard about what happened to Jayden\'s mother, I saw rage in his eyes. And when I asked him if he had already fallen in love, his eyes became sad. Was he in love with Jayden\'s mom?
"My sisters wanted to meet you!" The woman beside him finally exclaimed.
Matthew looked at her as if he wanted her to shut up.
"Sisters? Why?" I asked again.
"Venice!" He almost yelled at her.
"Father, stop pretending!" She whispered but we could still hear it. Then she looked at me again and ignored his father.
"When we heard about you, my little sisters wanted to meet you. Father promised them that he will bring you to them. I came with my father so I could see you. I\'m also curious about you." She said, sincerely.
"That doesn\'t change anything. But I will think about it." I answered.
"No!" Jayden yelled. "Bring them here. I won\'t allow you to come with them, I don\'t trust them especially him." He said, pointing at Matthew.
I nodded. I don\'t want to make him worry and as his wife, I wanted to obey him. I don\'t feel safe with them anyway and I also don\'t trust them.
"You heard my husband. You could bring them here." I said.
The woman looked at Matthew and I saw love in his eyes. He was still human if he felt something towards his daughters. He took a deep breath and nodded.
"Fine. We will bring them with us tomorrow." He finally agreed.
The woman\'s face lit up and suddenly hugged his father. For some reason, I was jealous seeing her that close to her father.
"Thank you dad!" She said then she smiled at me. "My name is Venice. I\'m sixteen! I am your sister!"
She ran towards me but was stopped by the royal guards. She looked at me as if asking if she could get close to me.
"Let her." Kyle ordered.
Jayden was still holding my hand when Venice jumped, embracing me. Then she whispered, "Big sister!"
I felt my heart melted and my arm voluntarily hugged her back.
When she was about to turn around, she held my other hand and left a piece of paper. She was just looking at me while I frown when I felt the paper in my hand. She bit her lips as if asking me to not ask about it. I nodded and her face was a mixture of fear and relief.
"Venice! Let\'s go! We\'ll come back tomorrow." Matthew Forelli called her.
Then he turned around and walked away without even looking at me.
