"Eric is hungry", I said to myself.

"Buibui, don't you think we should go out side a little to get some fresh air? This mansion sucks like —", I paused, seeing two people standing in front of the oak tree.

Isn't that Papa Lewis and Mama Shiela?

I look around to see Sara standing behind the windows, looking at them and trying to figure out what they were saying.

"Eric wonders what they both are talking about", I said and hid behind the nearest tree quickly.

There were faint voices of cussing and screaming and I could only make out some of them.

"Why did you betray me?", Lewis said with venom.

"I didn't! You did! You were the one who went for another lady after what you did to me", Shiela snarled.

How childish. Can't they even figure out each other motives?

After some minutes, I heard their screaming again.

"You only need to transfer half of the property!", Lewis showed a paper.

No way! I need to tell Sara!

"I can't! I have no money"

At least her greed gave her some damn brain

"Do it or else I'll tell the whole world about you so called new husband's deeds", He threatened her.

"Give me a month! I'll give you half of it", Shiela said in a seductive and pleading voice.

"F-fine"

This is bad...

I tried to slip out of the mess, failing miserably when my foot landed on a twig.

Done

"Who is there!?", Both of them turned in my direction.

Quickly hiding behind the tree, they didn't notice me, the culprit.

I turned to look towards Sara.

Both of our eyes met. She seemed to put a sign language showing some ridiculous directions.

Snickering slightly while doing so.

Let me phrase it

Finger up = Tree
Finger bend = Jump
Finger hide = Hide.

Jump onto the tree branch and hide there?

I did as I felt like, seeing Sara giving me a thumbs-up.

When I did that, A cat fell onto the ground.

"Oh it's that cat", Lewis said, picking it up.

Phew...I thought this was my last day

"Isn't that Dion's cat?", Shiela said, behind Lewis.

"I'll give it to him later", He said, going out of the scene. Shortly after that, mama followed him.

I jumped off the tree, landing on my legs.

A piece of cake for me

Sara was no longer standing there.

Bet she estimated the whole drama and is preparing for it

"Now that Eric has no business here, Eric should take Bui and go back to the hell hole", I said, getting my bunny on my back and getting my hands into my pockets.

TIMESKIP

After eating the dinner that was brought into my room, I got up from the chair and went to the bed.

Many might question it, why was I not present in the dining room?

Because I was not allowed to have a family dinner with them--The new Tatiana family.

Consisting of Edward, Dion and Shiela. Even Sara was not present there.

The legitimate one is not getting the love here.

If I were to categorize our positions and our status, then it would be:

Dion (Stepson)
Sara (Legimate Daughter)
Eric (Illegitimate Son)

This sucks

But who cares? Sooner or later, I'll pull a sangwoo on Shiela or Lewis.

DION'S P.O.V

"Mom, where is Sara", My mom who almost choked on water, coughed a little before opening her mouth to speak.

"W-who is she?", She seemed to be in deep shock.

"The one who was sitting with us when Papa took your hand", I said, getting my fork to cut the beef.

"Dion, next time don't go out of your room before finishing your studies. I want you to be someone worth of my time....Not like her...", The last part, she seemed to change into another person.

Papa is not taking notice of that emotion. And then again, he is talking to someone from that time on the phone.

"Yes..", I muttered, thinking about what is the truth about mama's emotion.

Anger? Sadness? What was that? Nevermind, I need to go to papa's room to take my medicines.

"I finish my dinner. Thankyou for it", I got up from my seat.

TIMESKIP

I got inside papa's room and saw some bottles lying here and there.

Some chemical instruments too.

I sniffed the bottle which was labeled as 'Medicine for Dion (Final Part)'.

"This is the medicine I eat regularly", I look behind the label only to fine a shocking thing.

"2C...Oxygen...Ethyl alcohol!?", I gasp slightly.

Ofc two carbon means ethyl....And this will be an alcohol! Is this the reason why I have been wanting to taste this medicine for a while now?

The door creaked open.

There was standing my father Edward.

Luckily, I hid behind the book shelves because yes, this was the only place to hide here.

"The drug should take effect by a month", He mumbled as he took it and went out of the door.

After that, I sneaked out of the room, taking long strides through the hallways. While doing so, I bump into someone.

He had blonde hair and brown eyes.

He looks like Eric

"Do you need help?", I asked him out of courtesy.

"And who are you?", He peered onto my face since I was shorter than him.

"I am Dion Delvatore", I said.

"Oh so you are the son of that *******!", His finger tapped on my forehead with a mocking laugh.

How deplorable manners he has

"May I ask your reason of visit?", I questioned him, still putting my stern face.

"Hah! As if I would! Nevermind, do you know where is Shiela?", He asked me.

"Why do you need my mother?"

"Because I have some business with her"

"You have business with my mother at such late night?", I took a step forward.

There is something wrong in this house!

"Yes. And I would appreciate if you tell me her whereabouts", His hands at back.

"Dining room, 6th floor", I said, getting out of this stinky man.

"Hey!", He called out to me.

"Yes?", I turned back.

"Take your damn cat", And he gave me my pet cat.

"It's not some random damn cat, mister. It's name is Noir", I said curtly and continued my journey.

How bad his manners are!

SARA'S P.O.V

AT 1 AM

Someone grabbed my shoulder, violently shaking it.

Damn!

I open my eyes, only to see my worst nightmare in front of me, giving me the laugh of a maniac.

As if she had loose all of her braincells.

Yes, it was my mother. The vile woman, Shiela Tatiana.

"Is there anything you need?", I said, getting up.

"Come with me", She gripped onto my wrist tightly as we scurried down the staircases.

No way! Not a punishment at midnight!
