Because of the birthday dinner the previous day, Ryan retired late. When he woke up, it was past lunch time. He noticed that the house was gloomy.
'What's wrong again today?' he questioned no one but himself. He went to Carl's room to see him, but there was no one in. He assumed his brother was out and so he went to eat.
After eating, Ryan went around the house searching for Carl. 'Where could brother have gone to? He's not busy at work, he has no friends, he's normally indoor if there's no outdoor activity of importance.' He could not help but wonder where he's brother could have gone to. He decided to ask a few maids he saw, but they knew nothing about Carl's whereabouts.
He sought after the Head Butler. The Head Butler informed him that Carl had attempted to **** his mother the previous day. Ryan shook his head in disbelief. He knew the kind of person his brother is, after all, they grew up together. He keep to the conclusion that his mother had schemed against his brother again. He felt defeated. He felt guilt.
He immediately went to search for his mother. He could not understand why his mother would stoop to this level. 'Is that why grandma and grandpa cut ties with her?' he questioned himself.
His maternal grandparents cut ties with his mother because she was greedy and black-hearted. She was aware that his father was a married woman but she still schemed her way into his house. His maternal grandparents advised his mother against her actions but she refused to listen.
He had to beg for a couple of years before they acknowledged him but they still refused to acknowledge his mother. The only reason they accepted him was because they felt the sins of the mother should not be paid for by the innocent mother.
Now he understood why even after pleading for his mother's sake they refused to have anything to do with her. She was always scheming to get her way, she was too greedy. He was disappointed that he was born into the Blackwood family. Yes, they're aristocrats with a few hundred years of history, he felt this was not what it meant to be aristocratic. Blackwood family started declining some 50 years, and his parents only made it worse because of their selfish desire.
He barged into his mother's room, there she was admiring herself in the vanity table. She must be feeling pleased with herself. She managed to kick the first master of the house out.
His mother wasn't really surprised, I anything she was prepared to face him.
"Ryan, you're here."
Ryan looked at his mother, yes she was beautiful, but he felt he was staring at the face of the devil. 'This is what a scheming face looks like.' he thought to himself. For future reference? I'm not sure, but one thing is, don't judge a book by it's cover.
"Why did you do that?" He questioned, feeling disgusted by her innocent looking face.
"Do what Ryan, you have to be clear with me." She said, brushing her hair.
Ryan wanted to retort, but then he remembered his mother would say she did it because of him. That wasn't right, he never wanted any of this. He never asked to be born, but here he was talking to a woman who did things out of greed and claimed it was for him.
He didn't bother with his mother again as he left for State A to search for his brother.
___
When Carl saw the car, he knew it was his brother. Ryan was willowy, he had a pair of dark eyes that was filled with guilt.
"I...
Ryan, on his journey to State A had practiced how to present a suitable apology to his brother. But on seeing him, he couldn't help but stare at his own feet. 'Maybe if I wasn't born, she wouldn't have an excuse to hurt him.
