Chapter 14 - The Biggest Hide & Seek

"Aiden?" "Emma?"

Blake was going around the mansion looking for his siblings,

"Emma?" "Aiden?"

With a big mansion like that, it would take a lot of time to find what you are looking for,

"Nanny, have you seen Emma and Aiden?" Blake asked his nanny,

"Ah about that young master..."

[Earlier]

"Brother blake!" Emma called for blake who was in his room playing his piano,

"Yes?" He stopped playing as soon as Emma came close to him,

"Let's play hide and seek," Emma said while pulling Blake's hands off the keyboard,

"But I have to learn this piece by the day..." Blake said,

"But playing is more fun, Aiden come and help me!" Emma called for Aiden's help in getting blake to play with them,

"But Sister Emma, Mom and Dad will get mad at Brother blake once they see him playing with us," Aiden said,

"But!" Emma said,

"Ok ok I will play with you guys, but we will only do it once," blake said and stood up closing his piano,

They came outside the mansion into the garden, full of blooming flowers,

"One...Two...Three...Ready or not, here I come" Blake was the IT, and had to find both his brother and sister who has now gone into hiding,

"Let's hide here Aiden, I'm sure brother won't find us," Emma said while whispering,

"But this is where we always hide, so brother Blake knows for sure where we are," Aiden said,

"Why are you guys hiding?" Emma and Aiden turned around and saw Evelyn,

"Mom!" Both of the twins hugged Evelyn who has been busy for the past few days,

"We will be leaving today, I've packed your things," Evelyn said and grabbed each of their hands and left the mansion,

While in the car both Emma and Aiden were quite wondering where their brother is,

"Mom?" Aiden asked,

"Yes, honey?" Evelyn asked little Aiden,

"Where is brother blake, is he not coming with us?" Aiden asked his mother, worrying about his brother who might still be looking for them,

"Your brother won't be coming with us," she said smiling,

"Instead it will be just us three living in Italy, isn't that fun? You will see a lot of things there and eat a lot too," Evelyn said,

"But brother blake will be lonely," Emma said,

"No, your brother will be happy staying there, as you two know he will be attending schools now since your father and I know what's the best for him," She said,

The twins didn't say anything anymore since they Believe their mother so much.

[Present]

"About that young master, The Madame toon away your siblings while you were counting," The nanny said,

"What?" Blake was standing there confused, the sound of ringing was in his ears as he felt shocked at what happened while he was alone counting,

He slumps to his knees not knowing what to do, tears began to fall on his face,

"I'm sorry young master, but I am afraid will have to leave this mansion now... I am grateful for the times when I was the one who witnessed you growing the most," The nanny was telling these words to blake, and when blake suddenly shed a tear, and was followed by more tears shedding,

The nanny got into her legs and cried with blake,

"I am sorry young master, I will be leaving you and I am so sorry for that, please know that I pray for your health and I pray that God will keep protecting you, know that your siblings, your parents, and I are withing your side," The nanny told blake,

Blake looked at his nanny one last time and had told things one last time,

"Do you know why I am always left alone in this mansion nanny?" Blake was saying with a tired voice,

The nanny had her eyebrows furrowed into curiosity, wondering why blake chose to bring up that topic,

"It's because I don't have a good future, I'm not good at anything, everything about me is a waste of time, it's been like this ever since... Ever since Sis Fiona and Brother Cain left, they've also grown tired of messaging me, my parents knew it from the start that's also the reason why they've avoided me," Smiling through the pain telling words that hurts himself,

The nanny hugged him so tight and had one last cry with him, she have seen many things about Blake how he grew to be hated and loved at the same time, how he cope with his loneliness and how he always does his best when he plays piano, to be acknowledged and to be appreciated,

Sniff Nanny stopped hugging blake and held both his shoulders and looked at him,

"Young master, I want you to be strong, no matter what your mind is telling you, I know for sure it's wrong because I can see everything, and I know all the things that you mentioned are not true at all, you are a person with a bright future ahead of him! You are smart, you are strong, you are lively, and you are kind, do not let those words trample over yourself! " The nanny had an eager stare at blake showing truth in every word she said,

After the nanny left, the mansion had felt quiet now, less servants have been walking around due to being moved to his family's other companies,

"Tell Secretary Wilson to fire the manager in the sales department ASAP!, he couldn't even do this simple task who would even think they would mess up in front of the press?!" While George was speaking in his call, blake who was called was standing at the open door waiting for his father to finish,

George stopped the call and told blake to come in, blake came in hesitantly however not scared as he was back then,

"You will be attending a school now, " George said indifferently,

"Ok... But can I ask you something?" Blake said,

"Go on... Ask" George said while going through his papers,

"Why can't I come in contact with Emma and Aiden?" Blake asked,

"Well, your mom doesn't want to," George said not looking at him,

"Then why can't I also come into contact with Brother Cain and Sister Fiona?" Blake asked again,

"Because they are busy yuk trying to take care of their future, now that I've finished answering your questions go away, I'm busy handling my business," George said with a pissed smile,

"Am I Going to attend the same school as brother cain?" Blake asked,

George stopped going through his papers and started to look at blake, looking down on him,

"Are you smart enough to attend the same class your brother attends at?" George said with a chuckle,

Blake clenched his fist, angered by the way his father looks down and laughs at him

He suddenly let loose of his fist and smiled brightly,

"No" He smiled and left the room, afterward years kept passing on and blake is growing up now attending the school, no friends at all in the first year but started to attract a lot when people learned that he has a very influential and powerful family, they came close for bony which blake is already aware of,

In a place where money is power and being poor is a misfortune, everybody will do what it takes for their survival,

Blake cones home tired everytime he attend school, every stares making him lose energy and even his teachers do greed over money,

Walking around the house makes him calm sometimes, looking at every room, he have lived there for about 18 years so who wouldn't memorize a big house for that time,

Less noise in the kitchen without Fiona butchering up every chef's attention, no vinyl records playing from the library while cain is reading his favorite literature and theory books, no longer Noisy Emma who wakes up Blake every morning, no longer Aiden who draws colorful images using his pastels,

Every moment vanished from Blake's memory as years passed by, he forgets the happiness he felt when he was with his loved ones the most,

"I wonder how they would look like now" Blake has been forgetful about his siblings ever since, but the picture helps a lot,

"They've grown no so I know for sure they would look different, "he said in his thoughts,

"What do they look like right now?.... I really am not interested anymore, " blake said,

Going back to his room slowly at his bed, he was so careful and at the same time he was feeling sad and lonely about the mood, but never know how to make himself cry.
