Third Person POV
Jack froze on his seat when he heard her question. He was expecting this question from her but didn't know how to answer that.
She would be hurt and maybe will not believe him but he doesn't have any choice other than telling her the truth.
He took a deep breath and said "When the doctor had told us that I had drugs in my system, we all thought that it was my father who was doing this."
He then continued "But I was wrong. I didn't get to know about it until 4 months ago. I could have come home 4 months ago but they didn't allow me."
He then looked at Anna in her eyes and confessed "It was Maria"
Anna stilled and looked at him in bafflement. 'What the fuck?' She thought in her mind.
How could Maria do that to him? She was like his mother. She had always treated him like his son.
She knew that Maria didn't treat her right in the beginning but after that, she had treated her alright.
She had even accompanied her on the day of delivery when she had no one with her.
"You are lying" She whispered softly.
He sighed and said "I wish I was Anna. But this is the truth. She is the one who was drugging and didn't stop until the day I left for the rehab."
Anna felt weak in her knees and slumped down on the chair when she couldn't take it anymore.
She was confused and was feeling betrayed by all of them. They had hidden everything from her.
"Tell me everything." She said with no emotion
"As I have told you that we all had thought that it was my father because maybe he didn't want me to be a normal person. So Richard gave my responsibility to Maria so that she could take care of my food etc." He said with a clenched jaw.
He continued "I don't know anything more than that Maria was the one who was drugging and it was Richard who had told me."
"How did Mr. Williams get to know about it?
He licked his dry lips and said " Remember when I told you that our whole house was covered with cameras."
How could she forget about it? She nodded her head with a tired face.
"Richard had inspected it when John (His doctor) told him that he had found cocaine in my body." He said and closed his eyes, which was burning due to sleep, with a sigh.
"Why would she do that? What would she get out of it?" Anna voiced her question
He opened his eyes and explained "Anna my father had raped his daughter when my stepmother ran away. Maria was about to tell me something about my stepmother but my father heard her."
Anna was disgusted when she thought about his father. He was the devil in disguise who prey upon young girls.
'He got an easy death. He should have suffered more." She thought in her mind.
But Anna and everyone doesn't know that ARNOLD IS STILL ALIVE.
[Arnold is Jack's father and Alan is Jack's stepbrother.]
[No one knew that he is alive except me and ?? will tell you later. But yeah Alan is dead.]
"She was taking revenge." She stated in a soft voice.
"Maybe. And I didn't even doubt her until I got to know about that from John. Richard had a doubt about her, that's why he told me to hire Jane as babies' nanny but he didn't mention the reason. " He breathed
"Where is she? I have to talk to her about this. Why did she betray us?" Anna asked him in one breath
"She was on the run since the day we got to know about this but now she is in our home. Remember Richard had said that he found her. I will talk to her tomorrow." He said and yawned.
Anna nodded her head and said "I will come with you too. I have to talk to her too."
He was about to interrupt her to tell her that it was dangerous but stopped when she raised her eyebrow.
He nodded and said "you can come too"
"You should go home and sleep. I am here with Mia." She told him when she saw his tired eyes.
He checked the time in his watch and saw that it was 5 o'clock in the morning.
They had talked for 2 hours. He looked at Anna and said "I am here with Mia. She is my daughter too. I would stay if you want you can go."
"I won't leave our Mia alone." She said and looked at Mia who was sleeping peacefully.
In all this chaos she forgot about Rose and Mr. Richard. She jumped from her seat and strode toward the gate.
