Chapter 33: Chapter 33
“ What Happened to you?” He asked but Vanessa didn’t say a word. He paid the driver and took them inside the house. “ What Happened out there, were are your dresses?” Derek asked lying Mara on the Couch. Vanessa was still sobbing, she sat on the couch and supported her head with her palm. “ Vanessa, Please speak to me” Derek pleaded. He knelt in front of her and held her hands. “ I hate him!” Vanessa cried. “ Who?” Derek asked her and she sniffed. “ He called me Selfish, I hate him” He stood up and sat beside Vanessa on the Couch, he hugged her and patted her back softly.
Derek has no idea who she was talking about but he felt sorry seeing her cry. Vanessa rested her head on his shoulder as she continued to cry her heart out. She was so pained and wished Alfred vanish from their lives.
Vanessa lay her head on his leg as he stroked her hairs Gently. She had stopped crying when she had had enough, she felt so Good and her heart was light but she still felt pain. Derek has taken Mara inside the room and they were the only people that remained in the sitting room.
“ I was robbed” Vanessa dropped the bad news. “ Oh No!” Derek Exclaimed. “ My hard earned money, those money would be enough to get me out of this city” Vanessa said Sadly. “ I’m So sorry Vanessa” Derek said pitifully and she sniffed. “ He saved us, the president saved us” She said because she still didn’t knew his name. “ Wow! He took you home? But why did you Returned? You should have slept there” Derek said and Vanessa Chuckled. “ He made me look bad. He called me Selfish, he said I can’t take care of Mara, he said I only know myself” Vanessa said.
“ He’s out of his mind. Where was he when you have been struggling all these years” He said and Vanessa Giggled. She sighed and sat upright. “ I’m tired of this, I just want to find my real parents and live a happy life” She stood up from the Couch. “ Thanks Derek, you’re so kind” He smiled and she went to her room. Vanessa closed the door, she lay on the bed closer to Mara and closed her eyes.

Alfred was so mad with himself, He wished he hadn’t said those horrible awful words to Vanessa. He felt bad for her, he wished he could see her again and apologized to her. He remembered those words she said to him, he took her virginity and impregnated her, she was chased out of the house and had to struggle to survive.
“ What parents can do that to their own kid?” He shook his head. “ But How did this happened? How did I got her pregnant” He paced around the room finding an answer to his thoughts. “ How, just how?” He sat down on the bed and looked at the ceiling. “ Oh Vanessa, I’m so sorry. I think I’m the monster here, I wouldn’t have brought the idea of calling the Doctor if only I knew that would happen” He supported his head with his palm ls and sighed. “ I’m sorry Vanessa” He said.
He checked the time and it was 10:30pm, He stood up from the bed and dashed out of the room. His mind was with them, he was scared that something might have happened to them again because it has been an hour since they left. He stood on the corridor and Called the security man who came running to him.
“ Did they leave?” He asked him. “ Yes sir, they got a cab immediately they went out of the gate” The security man said and Alfred heaved a sigh of relief. “ You can go back” The security man left and Alfred also went back inside the house. He sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs together and his Assistant came out from the kitchen. Alfred looked up, he stood from the sofa and held his Assistant on the Collar.
“ B..Boss” The Assistant Stammered. “ What Happened on that day?” He asked but the Assistant had no idea what he was talking about. “ Answer me!” He yelled at him. “ I…I don’t know what you are talking about” The Assistant said trying to free himself from his grip. “ Four years ago” He said In Anger. His Assistant remembered what he was talking about, he didn’t want to tell him but the grip was hurting his neck.
“ You got drunk that day” He said. “ Go on and make sure you don’t leave a word out of it” Alfred Commanded. “ It was the day that Grandma Cut you off with your ex girlfriend, You left the house in anger and got drunk. I was called from the bar and when I got there, you was lying on a bed…. Necked” He Said and Alfred Released his collar. “ With who?” He asked sitting down on the sofa. “ I don’t know, I didn’t see anyone in the room apart from you” he said holding his aching Neck. “ Leave!” Alfred Fumed and the Assistant ran out of the sitting room.
“ Oh My God! What did I do” He held his head, Alfred started Sweating. His blood was boiling and his hands were shivering. “ It was Her” He said closing his eyes. He remembered that day, he entered a room in the bar to rest because he was so exhausted. He remembered someone pushed a lady inside the room and locked the door outside. The lady was a very young girl and beautiful, he couldn’t resist the urge and that happened. He was so drunk that day but he could remember her face a little.
“ It’s Vanessa!” He stood up from the sofa and ran upstairs. He entered his room, brought out a diary from the drawer. He looked at the date he was separated from his girlfriend and raised up his head.
