Estelle Rae's POV:
I just came back from my mission and it took some years to finish. As I came out of the bathroom, the head maid suddenly came in with a letter in her hand that made me curious about it.
"My lady, a letter came that is addressed to you", she said as I took the letter she was handing me.
"Thank you, Mrs. Larson. Tell the others that I'll be eating in my room since I'm too tired to go down", I said as I sat down on my bed while opening the letter.
"As you wish, my lady...", Mrs. Larson said while bowing her head and went out of my room.
I got curious and doubting about the content of the letter since I don't have anyone to send me one. All of them will be sending me an email if they want to discuss some business matters that I inherit from my parents before they passed away.
*letter's content...
Greetings Dr. Harrison,
I'm sorry for this sudden letter to you, but we were informed that your family is a descendant of the infamous serial killer that terrorized London in the year 1888. We want to confirm the information that we have that links to your family's bloodline.
I know that this is an unbelievable statement in which that is rude to say to a prestigious noble family. Please do not take to heart what I mean about it, my lady.
I hope you can spare some time for us to test out if the information we got is true or not, Dr. Harrison.
From: The Institute of Science and Research Facility, Dr. Jeremy Collins
"This letter is making my blood boil for linking my family's bloodline to an infamous serial killer!!!", I shouted as I throw the letter on the floor as I lay down on my bed. "I want to know the face of that bastard who dares to say such absurdity about my family."
"My lady? Your dinner has arrived, my lady", Mrs. Larson said as they set it up on the table.
"Leave it there... I'll eat it after I calm myself down a bit", I said as I shut my eyes tight while trying to calm myself.
"This sender of the letter is surely rude to speak such a thing about your family, my lady", Mrs. Larson said which made me sit up on my bed and look at her surprised.
"It is nothing to be concerned about, Mrs. Larson. I'll meet up with that sender and make him apologize to me personally about what he is accusing me of", I said as I stand up and change into my night clothes.
"Is there anything that I can help you with, my lady?", Mrs. Larson asks as I look at her seriously since I'm still doubting about that letter's content.
"If I didn't come back from my meeting with that letter's sender, I want you and the head butler to manage the estate while I'm gone. I have a gut feeling that I might be got lured out into a mess", I said as I sat down to eat my dinner. "I need to go to the headquarters to ask for a leave concerning this matter. Might as well give them a heads up about it, since I can't shake this feeling off", I said as I took a bit of my food.
"As you wish, my lady. We will do our very best to manage everything while you're gone", Mrs. Larson said as she went out of my room.
I'm still doubting everything that letter mentioned. It's believable but it's more than 120 years since that horrible event happened. The DNA from that time to the present will be mutated and the results might not be accurate anymore.
*at the Institute of Science and Research facility...
"I am honored that the new head of the Harrison family granted my invitation regarding the matter that I mentioned in the letter", a man in a lab coat said which made me suspicious of him. "Oh! My apologies, my lady... My name is Dr. Jeremy Collins of the biochemical studies. I was the one who sent you that letter, Dr. Harrison", he explained as he offered me to have a seat.
"I'm hoping that you didn't forget about what you said in that letter, Dr. Collins", I said almost threatening him about it as he smiles at me like he knew what I meant.
"I am terribly sorry for saying such an absurd thing to a prestigious and respected family of yours, Dr. Harrison. But it was what our research result of matching the DNA of everyone that may be a relative or a descendant of that infamous serial killer", he explained as he flashed his sincerity to me that it still made me even more suspicious of him.
"So tell me the reason why you got that such conclusion, Dr. Collins?", I said as I took a sip of the tea he served.
"It's because of the recent findings that we, this very institute, tried to prove about the DNA that was found on the murder weapon used by the infamous Jack the Ripper", he answered as I looked at him still suspicious about his intentions.
"We all know that the present DNA might get mutated over the years, doctor. So what you may get might be linked to anyone around the world, and not just based on an unsure source of information", I said as I started to feel dizzy which got me alerted.
"I see that you're someone who can't be fooled that easily, Dr. Harrison. But for us to be sure, we might as well test it out to see if that theory might be true after all", he said as he took a sip of the cup as I fell unconscious.
*hours later...
I woke up being tied up on a delivery table which made me terrified to see what was going on. I tried to move around hoping that I can get off it but only to fail since they tied me up really tightly to it.
"Oh! You're already awake now, doctor", the bastard said as he walks inside the room with some nurses and doctors with him.
"What is the meaning of this, Collins?! Get me off this delivery table at once!!!", I said as I kept on struggling to escape from being tied up to this damned table.
I really don't like what I'm thinking about what's going to happen to me at this point. It's either they will have a quick check about my body or insert something that leads to a much worse scenario.
"What were her results say?", he asks as one of the doctors who came with him comes forward with a chart.
"She is fertile and healthy to get pregnant, Dr. Collins", the doctor said that made me hysterical to hear them talking about something I never even thought about it.
"You bastards! You won't get away with this! I will kill you all if you do anything to me! I swear that I will kill you all!!!", I shouted angrily as I kept on struggling at the delivery table.
"Sedate her, so that she won't keep on moving around like that. We don't want to spill anything while she keeps on moving", he said as they pinned on down as one of the nurses gave me a shot of sedative.
I felt getting sleepy as I slowly can't feel my body moving anymore. But the last time I remember, they inserted a tube deep inside of me as I fell asleep.
*months passed by...
I don't feel like moving any more after all those days that I spent inside of this damn place. They regularly took us out of our rooms for what they called get-togethers, where I can see four more other women inside a room. Other women are either traumatized or lifeless after what happened to them.
I looked at my own baby bump as I wonder who was the jerk who gave out his f***ing sperm away so that I would kick his sorry butt.
"If I accept their offer... would I be able to tell you that I'm your mother? Or will they threaten me to shut my mouth while watching over you as you grow up in this hell hole?", I said while caressing my baby bumps as I felt it move where my hands are like it's giving me strength and courage. "So this is what it feels like to be a mother...", I said as I suddenly teared up by the thought as smirk to I remember that I'm here in this damn place.
"Is this your first time getting pregnant and being a mother?", a woman who is in her 30s asks as I just gave her a nod as I smirk that I felt ashamed of it.
"I was fooled and forced to get pregnant. I woke up to find myself being tied up on a delivery table as they sedate me as they insert a tube in me", I said trying to calm myself since I don't want my emotions to get the best of me.
"It's the same thing to all the other ladies here...", she said as her voice sounded like bitter while looking at the others. "One of them got traumatized... And the other two, they don't want to live anymore...", she stated as she turns to look at me with a bittersweet smile. "But seeing you still sane like you're determined to get out of here, it's really admirable to see."
"I left my estate in the hands of my trusted servants since I had this gut feeling that I'll be in trouble. But I can't shake it off since he said something so absurd about my family's bloodline", I said as I sigh deeply while caressing my bumps. "Now, all I want is to ensure that my child won't grow up completely insane just like what they wanted to have."
"So you were aware of what they planned to do with our child", she said as I saw her hug herself as I pat her shoulder and smiled at her.
"I'll do everything to keep our child away from what they wanted to have", I confidently said as I saw that bastard walking toward where I'm sitting.
*on the day of delivery...
I was surprised to know that I was having twins while I'm having a feeling of strong menstrual cramps. But by the time I successfully delivered them, a piece of bad news struck me, my daughter was weak.
Over the past months, I spent my time trying to help my daughter feel better and become healthy just like her twin brother. I accepted the offer just to take care of my daughter who is doing really well now under my care and supervision. I even secretly named them since they won't allow us to name them after we gave birth to them.
"How is the baby, Dr. Harrison?", the bastard asks as I keep myself under control or something might happen to my babies.
"She is getting better and better as the days passed by", I said as I wrote something on her chart to keep me under control before I totally get my hands dirty.
"Good then... She will be C-004 once she got out of this room then", he said as he left the room, I throw Stella's chart to the door which made my baby cry from the banging noise.
"I'll get my revenge on you, you bastard", I said as I while I'm carrying my Stella to calm her down.
*almost 9 years later...
"Hahahaha let's continue our examination before Dr. Collins starts to check on us if we're doing the examination or not", I said as I wave my hand gesturing to turn a round for me.
"It's annoying to keep your guard up and do better than anyone else when there's a maniac keeping an eye on your every move", he said as he sigh deeply as breathed in and out deeply.
"It's unavoidable since you hate it when you watch the other kids getting into trouble because of that uncontrollable kid. You've always been mistaken when you only thought of working together instead of attacking one another", I said that made him scoff by what I told him.
"We all are experiments ever since we were born. I thought sticking together until we can manage to fight back and use what we learned against those who look down on us", he said that made me hit his head since it's pissing me off to hear him say such a thing.
"That is why don't act recklessly and plan out everything for perfect timing", I said making it sound like a piece of advice than some of my usual unpredictable quotations. "You're a smart kid, C-001...", I said while smiling at him as a sign that I totally trust him.
I tried my best not to suddenly surprise him with a hug that I always do with his twin sister. I can't help myself not to do something like that ever since I kept on resisting myself to do it. I just want them to know that they're not alone and I will do my best to protect them.
"We're all done! Nothing's wrong with you, plus you're perfectly sane and insane at the same time", I said loudly which made him look at me pretty much annoyed now as I just smiled at him.
"Whatever! You're weird than the other doctors and researchers!!!", he said as he stand up stomps his feet loudly as he swings the door open very roughly which made me laugh a little.
I stand up and walk up to him as I keep my hands to myself resisting to hug him.
"Oh, Ezekiel... How I wished to tell you everything about the truth, my boy...", I said as I pushed him out of the office as I closed the door and leans on it. "How I wish to hug you when I still have a chance to do so", I said as I slowly sat on the floor as I hug my knees tight.
And that was the last time I ever get to see and be with them again... or so I thought...
