Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 73

❝We are family❞

.•*•.

Groaning my eyes flutter open and I'm met with the light. My eyes adjust to the light to see that I'm in a unfamiliar room. Confused I look around to see a man standing, looking outside the window. "W-who are you?" I ask him. My voice is a bit strange to hear and my throat is extremely dry. The man turns around to face me but the light that is coming from the window makes it hard to see his face. He walks over to the bed and only then can I see him.

However, I've no clue who this man is even when I'm looking at him. Trying to place his face anywhere but I can't. His striking hazel green eyes somehow imitate me for some reason and the way that his mouth hangs in sort of a smirk, it's creepy. "I'm the one that saved your life" He tells me. His voice is deep and it brings shivers running down my spine for all the wrong reasons. I have a feeling in my bones that I do not like this man at all without even knowing why I feel this way.

"What is your name?" I ask him since I've no clue who this man is. Somehow I find myself craving Sebastian and being with him. I silently gasp as I remember that we were in a car accident. "Where is Sebastian?" I ask the man. I watch as his features grow anger and I feel myself shiver on the bed. Looking away from him and to me only to see that my hands are bandaged up and when I look at my stomach the part that doesn't have covers over it to see that my stomach has been wrapped around in bandages too.

The glass shard. I remember that and I thought I was going to die. So, that is what he meant when he said he saved my life. "Never speak that name in my presence again!" He yells at me. Fear runs through my whole body at that. Looking up at his anger face with fear laced in my eyes. He collects himself and smirks at me. "I am William King" He tells me but then he turns around and walks over to the window like he was before. Wait... did he say King? That can't be a coincidence, can it? 8

"Yes, that King" He answers the unasked question but he knew that I was thinking it. I don't remember Sebastian ever mentioning that he has a brother, but then again he barely even speaks about himself nor his family so there is an explanation to that. "I suppose now I can introduce myself as your brother-in-law" He says but the way he says it, the disgust and venom in his voice is freaking me out. Something about this man makes me feel uneasy and I can't know why. Perhaps it is because he isn't Sebastian, the man I've fallen in love with.

Or because he isn't even here which does make me worried about him and as much as I wish to ask, I can't ask him because I can't even say his name. But, I'm so worried about him. Because we were in an accident and I have a bad feeling about this, all of this. "Now that you're awake" He says as he takes something from his pocket and when I see what it is I gasp. Handcuffs. He harshly takes my right wrist and slams the handcuff on it and then put the other to the bed.

My eyes widen when one of my hands is now stuck t0 the bed while the other one is free. I give him a confused and shocked look. "Can't have you running away, now can we?" He asks but that questions was not meant for answering, that I am sure of. He then walks to the door that I am sure leads out of the room and he walks through it closes it without saying another word to me, which leaves me only more confused at this whole thing. I can't be sure why I am here.

All I can remember is being in that accident with Sebastian and then waking up here. I don't understand it. I try to remember what happened in the accident since I can vaguely remember waking up but I can't remember a thing from it. It's strange. And then I just wake up here with Sebastian's brother who I did not even know he had. I look around the room. It's unlike the room that Sebastian has, I can tell that has different architecture to it. And that can only mean I'm somewhere else, somewhere I've never been before.

Sighing I continue to look around the room. The sun is shining through the window which makes me believe that the clock is already about noon on another day. Since it's winter the sun shines around noon and disappears around four or five so that I can be sure of the time since there is no clock in here. The room is about the same size as my room at Sebastian's mansion, the guest room I mean since it technically doesn't belong to me. How I wish I were in his arms right about now. It is what they say, you never know what you had until you lose it. 2

I have a bad feeling about this place and William, somehow he scares me. Maybe that is for the fact that he did handcuff me to the bed and then left. I feel my stomach grumble and I realize that it has been a long time since I've eaten anything and I'm growing hungry. However, I don't think I'm go0ing to get food any time soon as there isn't any in here and I don't think he's coming any time soon back or anything for that matter so I suppose all I can do is wait. Wait for Sebastian.

❝The truth is always painful❞

.•*•.

A day has passed since I woke up here and every three hours or so it's the same, even during the night. A woman comes inside the room and I think she's either a doctor or a nurse but I can't be sure as she doesn't wear any uniform to tell what she is. She checks my wounds but she doesn't say anything, though I would guess that she's making sure I don't have a concussion or something. She does bring me food every time that she comes inside the room and she stays with me while I eat and then she leaves, without ever uttering a word to me nor I to her.

I only get soup to eat and always with a plastic spoon which is not that good either. I'm still lying on the bed with one of my hand cuffed to the bed and it has started to hurt but it has been hurting since he did that. The door opens and William walks inside. I'm shocked to see him as I had not thought I would ever see him again or perhaps I was hoping it. I've been so bored and thinking too much that I've sort of lost count on what I have and have not thought about.

He walks inside with a smirk on his face. "It would appear you husband doesn't care about you but you knew that already didn't you? He cheated on you, didn't he. Over and over again. After all, he called the Devil. How can the Devil feel anything at all?" He asks me but I know that I'm not meant to answer that question. "Why am I here?" I ask him. I've been wondering what I am doing here and why I'm not with Sebastian.

Even when he has cheated on me before with the woman in Paris and perhaps more which I don't know. He chuckles as he walks over to the window and stares out. "If he had ever bothered telling you the truth in the first place, then you would know exactly why you are here. And you would be here willingly instead of that manner" He tells me. What truth is there to know? About him being his brother? I furrow my eyebrows at him in confusion as I have no clue of what he's talking about.

He chuckles at me. "What truth are you talking about?" I ask him when he doesn't say anything to explain himself. "Well, you dear, Fawn were supposed to be my wife" He says. My eyes widen when he says that and I can't even believe it. That can't be the truth, now can it? "What are you talking about?" I ask. I have to know what the truth is. I always knew Sebastian was hiding something but was I supposed to marry William instead of Sebastian. Somehow that is just insane. "Your father, a proud man he is" He begins.

"You were told he gambled again. I will tell you that is not the truth. At least not the full truth. He made a promise to never gamble again. That is until he was faced with a choice and he could either had gambled his oldest daughter for marriage or all his money. I'm sure you're smart to figure out which he chose. But, he wanted more. For his oldest daughter he wanted money" He tells me. I shake my head as the tears are running down my face. No, it's not true. I knew that my father gambled before but I did not think of this, it can't be the truth.

A pang strikes my heart and it hurts so much. "He became greedy. Not only had he sold his daughter, he wanted more. But, that is not the best part. He sold you to me..." He tells me. William walks over to the bed. The look he gives me brings shivers running down my spine for all the wrong reasons. I lightly shake my head. "You're lying. It's not true" I say. It can't be the truth. I refuse to believe that is the truth. The things that I knew are not correct.

I knew that my father did gamble and I thought he gambled all of our money away and that is why he was forced to do this, for the money. To be able to support our family but if what William is saying is true, then my father never lost any money at all. He just said that so I would not know the truth. Why? Why would he do that? And why would my mother allow this to happen? I don't understand this at all. "The truth hurts, doesn't it?" He asks me but all I could do was nod.

"It hurts so much because you were not told months ago" He tells me and I realize that is the truth. If my father had told me this (if this is the truth) then I would've cried for some time but then I would've gotten over it, I think but now it is even deeper and the betrayal is real. "Then why did I not marry you?" I ask him. I see the look of anger comes across his face and it frightens me so much, he frightens me in a way that nothing else has.

He clicks his tongue before he clears his throat. "Since I met you a year ago, on your eighteenth birthday I knew I had to have you as mine, and the perfect opportunity came to me and I took it. But, my brother offered a larger sum of money to your family and your father whose greed is only growing took it and you were married to him before I could offer another deal. But now that you're here, you can be mine like you were always meant to" He says to me and I pale.
