Chapter 54 A Tangled Truth

Finished

Rosalie sat upright in front of Brock. He bit his lip hard. No matter what happened, he would never betray Reva.

Grrr! A loud rumble came from his stomach. The sound echoed in the room. Brock buried his face against the ground, too ashamed to lift his head.

He was starving. Every day, he worked at least 18 hours, yet all he was given were a few leafy greens. His ribs stuck out from hunger.

A rich smell of meat drifted into his nose. Brock snapped his head up, his eyes red with hunger. He shouted fiercely, “I won’t eat!

“I rather starve to death than take a single bite of your food!”

Rosalie calmly set the plate beside him. She waved for Leon and the others to leave.

“She told me to keep an eye on you,” Brock said, his mouth full of buttery eggs and rice, grease shining on his lips. His words were slurred.

“She said I should find your weakness and report it to her.”

“That’s all?” Rosalie asked.

Brock nodded quickly. He handed her the empty plate and asked sincerely, “Is there more?”

Rosalie took the plate and scooped up another serving that was full to the brim, but she didn’t give it to him.

“From now on, when Reva comes again, do exactly what I tell you.

“As long as you listen to me, you’ll have food every day.”

Brock stared at the bowl like he was under a spell. He nodded heavily.

In the end, he ate five full plates of buttery eggs and rice. He only stopped because the pot was completely empty.

Once he came back to his senses, his stomach was round and tight. He rubbed his belly with one hand and wiped his tears with the other.

He couldn’t betray his matriarch, but he couldn’t betray his stomach either.

Finished

Rosalie returned to her room. She knew who Brock was working for, but she still couldn’t understand why Reva kept targeting her.

Buzz!

A sharp pain exploded in Rosalie’s head. Broken memories flashed through her mind. Reva was lying on the ground while the original Rosalie was kicking her again and again, without mercy.

“How could you do this?!

“Can you face Mother after this?!”

That voice of the original Rosalie was furious, shaken, and full of disbelief. Through the fog, Rosalie could only see Reva’s eyes, burning with hatred.

“Matriarch! What’s wrong?”

Micah hurried over and caught Rosalie as she swayed.

Her body went limp against him. “I had a headache,” she said softly. “I’m fine now.”

Lying in bed, those two lines kept repeating in her mind.

What had really happened between the original Rosalie and Reva? Why did Reva hate her so deeply when they were clearly sisters?

Her thoughts were a mess. Just as Rosalie felt she was about to find the answer, it slipped away again.

Brock gave up ate a lot.

his act entirely after his cover was revealed. He worked lazily every day, but he

Living in the kitchen made things even worse. He shamelessly stole leftovers, cleaning the place out like a mouse.

The sugared berries Cameron had left in the kitchen to cool, meant as a snack for the next morning, were gone by nightfall. All that remained was a plate licked completely clean.

Cameron exploded. He pointed at Brock and shouted angrily, “Matriarch! What’s the point of keeping him?! All he does is eat! He’s eating the house empty!”

Then he rushed over to Rosalie, grabbed her arm, and shook it back and forth. “Matriarch, I want my berries! I didn’t even get one bite-waaah!”

Tears clung to Cameron’s long lashes. His big eyes blinked again and again, filled with heartbreak over the lost sugared berries.
