– Dad, this is absurd. How were you able to do all this with Diana’s parents and still look and talk to her as if nothing had happened? – asked Tobias.
From the tone of his voice, he was nervous and disappointed to know the true face of his father that he did not know.
– Do you know how I was able? I am an illegitimate son of the late Lord King whose mother my older brother hated, and so she has not allowed me to have access to the family fortune for years. Her uncle never cared about my origin and loved me. When his mother passed away, he made a point of dividing his entire fortune in half so that he could share it with me. I never saw this gesture as a form of justice, but rather of charity. It has since become the only member of the group Kingdom, since my dear older brother was the heir. That’s why I did what I did with his family, my son. I did it to give you a promising future. To guarantee the livelihood of our family in his way the atrocity he had done seven years ago.
– Father, even though you are a partner, we already had a great life. You had no need to have her and her parents murdered. And not satisfied with everything you did, you still want me to be part of your dirty little job.- said Tobias indignantly at his father.
– Tobias, you will do nothing but seduce her. – said my uncle.
– FATHER, SHE’S ONLY FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. Has the Lord gone crazy? – shouted Tobias totally upset.
– Tomorrow she will turn sixteen. Son, relax. You will only combine the useful with the pleasant. Didn’t you say that you think you are in love with your little cousin? So. You staying with her and doing everything to get married, you will have right to her inheritance. – said my uncle and I bet he had a cynical smile on his face.
– Dad, I won’t do that. I don’t care about goods or wealth, I care even less about the Kingdom group. – said Tobias looking a little calmer.
– But you care about me don’t you? If you care about your father’s life, you will do everything to keep her fully occupied with you so that she doesn’t finish studying the group’s documents and finds out that your father has embezzled all the money from the capital to enjoy everything .If she finds out, she’ll have every right to take back what is hers and put me in jail. She’s always been a smart girl. It won’t be long before she finds out the whole truth. If you don’t that I ask you, I will have to make drastic decisions to find you. – said my uncle and I felt a chill go up behind my back and tried to control my anger that was almost consuming me.
– Dad, don’t try to do anything with her. I’ll do what you ask me to do. But not to attend to her whims, but to defend Diana’s life. – Tobias said seducing my uncle’s demands.
I only heard the conversation up to that point. I went down the stairs very slowly and when I got close to the front door I called them:
– Uncle, Tobias, I’m here.
Almost immediately Tobias appeared with a smile on his face. He was nervous and very clear. He didn’t want to be part of his father’s conspiracy. I really felt sorry for him.
– Good morning Diana. You look beautiful. – He said coming towards me to give me a hug.
When he released me, he gave me a kiss on the forehead. She was already starting with his plan to try to seduce me.
He was a tall boy with black hair just like mine and with brown eyes. He really was very handsome. If I were so naive, I would fall like a duck in his charm.
– Thank you. Where’s the uncle? – I asked him with a smile on my face, pretending to be embarrassed because of the kiss on the forehead he gave me.
– He’s in the office. I’ll call him so we can go to the cemetery. – he said, already hurrying up the stairs.
I could see that he was totally uncomfortable with all that he was being “forced” to do. I actually felt a little sorry, but I let it go his way so my uncle couldn’t suspect anything.
Before long, he went down with his uncle. I saw the sadness in his eyes because he was going to bury his beloved wife, but the ambition was still there. He was suffering, but money seemed to be the most important thing for his life.
– Uncle. – Said as she went towards him to take his other arm that was free. Tobias was holding his right arm.
– Diana. Thank you so much for coming with us in this moment of extreme sadness. – he said.
If I hadn’t heard most of the conversation a few minutes ago, I would have said that he would really be happy to have someone to share his pain with.
– Not at all uncle. Know that you can count on me for anything. – she said to him while giving him a hug.
I never felt so uncomfortable hugging someone. We left his house and went to the funeral. My uncle chose to cremate Victoria and bury her ashes. The burial lasted longer than I thought it would. When we came back, it was past the middle -dia.Tobias left my uncle at home and asked to take me home.When we got there, he was waiting for me while I arranged the clothes to return with him to my uncle’s house.
– Come on, come in and feel free. – I said inviting him to enter.
– No, I prefer to stay right here. Go and take as much time as necessary. – he replied.
– OK! I promise I won’t be long. – I said to him as I entered.
Upon entering, I ran up to my parents’ room, grabbed a suitcase and a bag and put on some clothes, shoes, some cosmetics. I took the group’s documents and went to the basement and placed them under the wooden floor and making it look like that board had never been moved.
I ran up again to get my things and left to go with Tobias. I locked the door and Tobias helped me to put my bags in the car.
– We can go. – I told him as he started the car and we left my house.
