Chapter 51

Kara’s POV

*

             “Diego is Kara’s twin.” My mama broke the ice. Stephano stared at us with slightly wide eyes, hands fisting into a ball as he digested the information. I patted his chest with shaky hands of my own. I could read the expression in his eyes. He was asking me if mama’s statement was true.

I nodded at his surprised expression, knowing he was as clueless as I was. When I came in earlier on to tell mama Diego was asking after her, I met Diego hugging mama and she was crying then I asked what happened and she ran into her en-suite, muttering apology for what I’d had no idea. I didn’t even know he was in this room.

He had told me he wanted to ease himself and I told him where to go. It was a good thing I didn’t follow him, at least now he knew who I was. Or rather, who he thinks I am.

“Explain mama.” I heaved a sigh, knowing she was going to start a story but also very excited because I had a brother. This was such great news, though I had gotten used to being mostly alone when I was growing up.

After playing with the estate children when we were still at Mr. Alfonsi Snr’s mansion, they’d all go to their homes and I would go to mine as well, to sleep by myself and sometimes talk to myself since I didn’t have a phone to call any high school friend and I kind of disliked reading novels. It was such a waste of time.

Angela was always busy with one thing or the other, so I got used to being by myself since I couldn’t go to Giuliano who was three years older than me, talk-less Stephano who was the glaring young master that always treated me coldly.
Stephano and Giuliano had given me phones several times but mama always found an excuse to seize them and only when I became a senior did she let me have a cheap one she purchased me herself.

It was only after that one got spoilt by falling into water did I get another one, — the same China model I changed with my current iPhone when Stephano caught me talking to Marcus in his room earlier this year.

“How did you find me?” Mama asked him with glistening eyes. She was resting on the wall beside her en-suite and looking somewhat troubled.

“Can you tell me why I’m just meeting you first? After all these years...mom?” He whispered the last word with a shaky breath. Stephano still hadn’t taken his eyes off me since mama dropped the bomb.

“It’s a long story.” She muttered and avoided his gaze.

“I have all night mom. I’m glad I finally confirmed this, I always had this fondness for you Kara.” He told me softly.

I nodded in response. I always knew there was this longing in his eyes whenever he looked at me. Adrian insisted he liked me but I always denied it. Sure he liked me, but like a sister or someone he could relate with.

“Remember when I told you a story earlier this year Kara? When you were home from one of your random school breaks?”

“There’s been so many breaks....”

“About a girl that was...forced by a man who attended a ball the master of the house held?”

I scrunched up my face. “The house help that was raped? You said she was your book character.”

She flinched a little but nodded. “Yes.”

“What does that have anything to d-” a gasp escaped my lips. “Wait mama, you’re that girl?” I screeched. She nodded and Diego walked to her, crushing her in a tight hold as she cried in his arms.

“I couldn’t tell you it was me, it was degrading to even remember that night. The thought alone made me feel pathetic all these years but you are a product and I’ll forever be proud of being opportune to bring you both into this world.”
