Chapter 5

'We are here' Alex said and I looked up at the beautiful mansion house in front of us.

Wrong, rather a mansion. A huge white mansion

Oh yeah right.

A house he assumed my home which I didn't deny.

'Yup. thank you for walking me back, see you tomorrow.' and I waved him goodbye, he said he wants to see me in but I told him I'll see him off first and he reluctantly went back to his own home.

When I don't see him anymore, I looked back again to the beautiful mansion in front of me.

My facade

My lies.

I turned and walked at the side of the mansion and there, at the very back of it is a very small house, a house so old that it's near to its ruin.

This is the orphanage that the owner of the beautiful mansion owns.

On the outside, they are known for being kind-hearted and philanthropists but what the people do not know is that they are just disguised.

They hide their thick skin well. Even though I'm very aware of my surroundings in the past. I wasn't able to know the lies of my old home until when I was an adult.

I went inside the old building and I saw children running around.

Some are playing, crying, being noisy.

No one paid attention to me as I'm just another unknown child in this orphanage.

No one bothered to look at me. I'm very used to this kind of treatment and I don't mind at all. I just walk to my assigned room. I need a good rest.
