Athena
When my eyes looked from downstairs as the closed door opened and Celine got out of the room with dishevelled hair, swollen lips and crinkled clothes, just the thought of what might have gone behind the closed door made my heart ache. But I did not have anything to do at all.
Even when she flashed me a mocking smile as she noticed me standing in the hallway before walking away to her room.
I decided not to go back to the room, for now, I needed some time for myself to recover because there was no way I was going to be able to breathe in that room after knowing what had happened just a few minutes ago.
I found myself walking to the library area, taking a look around the place using the new surrounding as a distraction.
From looking at the library I could tell, this place did not have many people coming over there or looking over it. It was not like as if it was dirty, but all the furniture and even books were very old. Some had torn covers, some chairs and tables were not steady, and some lights were broken but not replaced yet.
The place was clean and tidy, but the state of it was not at its best compared to the entire mansion and its decoration.
What could be the reason that out of all the other places this was the only one that is not being taken care of?
My eyes fell on the bookshelves and curiously I began to take a look at the books. Most of them were either poetry or plays, only a few were novels.
One or two even had handwritten notes on them. At first, I ignored the notes but then suddenly my eyes fell on the name written t the end of one of the notes.
Carolina....
It was written by Sebastian's mother.
"When life becomes meaningless....poetry heals."— 5th January, 1994.
I put the book back in its place before I moved on to finding the previous book I left unread.
"I thought I was never going to find a new reason to live, but it seems like I finally have a reason to keep fighting. A little soul is growing inside of me, I am going to be a mother."— 18th June 1994.
I moved on to find the next book, searching amongst the huge collection of books to find the one with the notes.
Finally, after searching for a few minutes, I found another book.
"It's a baby boy. So between 'Penelope' and 'Sebastian', I have to pick the second option. I wonder what he will look like, will he have blue eyes like me? How small will he be when he comes into this world? I can't wait to have him in my arms."— 8th September 1994.
A melancholic smile spread on my lips while reading her messages, she sounded so excited about her pregnancy.'
However, the next note brought tears to my eyes.
"Elijah brought another woman to the house today. I know he does not want me and my Sebastian but he wouldn't let me leave too. I don't want my baby to be sad because of me but I can not stop my tears either. I am beginning to doubt— Am I going to be able to give my Sebastian the life he deserves? Am I going to be able to keep him away from the dark shadow of his father?"— 2nd October, 1994.
She did not deserve to go through all of these...
