BROKEN 2
"She needs enough rest..her blood pressure is high but it's going back to normal..." I heard voices and I can tell it's the doctor's
" She has been taking care of the princess all night and day..."Hazel the nanny told him in a sad voice
" Isn't that what you are here for...? Take of the little girl while she takes care of herself..." The doctor was scolding my nanny...how dare he
" Shut up.. my sister is mine and I chose to take care of her myself.. they both bowed slightly at my unannounced presence
" Drop some useful medicine and leave..." I wasn't in a good mood at all...my life is about to take a sudden turn
"Alright princess..." He dropped what he had to and left...
" Am not in a good mood for tea or food. I want to be left alone..."
She was about to ask me what's going on but I don't have the guts to spill what I know to anyone yet...
" Leave her..."
I told her when she wanted to take my sister away. The little girl is my sister I have to protect her.
Come to think of it she is my step sister... what a joke I have been. I should be indeed lucky that I didn't get a brother instead..i would have been indeed replaced and all I did would have no effect.

Vera as being asleep for a while now... it's my fault she's like this... I talked too much and it hurts her.
Violet also felt the blow but I hoped she didn't hear anything about what I said to her mother cause if she did all my plans will be ruined badly.
Ivory is my daughter..my own daughter... I should at least act like a father even if she is just a girl.
I went to violet's room... I never came in her room before.. and I hope I don't feel weird after this...
I knocked twice but there is no response.. what's the bastard up to now... can't I see my child...?
"Your highness... she's asleep. Let me open the door for you"
a young looking girl... obviously a maid urged me. I came inside seeing an affectionate position.. ivory is in violet's arms.. she held unto her so tight with her tiny hands.
They looked so cute together.. Violet as a big sister and Ivory as a little one I wish I can have an artist paint this out for me. I giggled sightly and as for our light sleeper, she woke up immediately and stared at me
" Taking care of your sister is nice..."
But she didn't say anything to me neither did she look at me
" Ivory... that's a nice name.."
I strike again but she said nothing..her silence is starting to piss me off
"Violet am talking to you...??!!!!"
I yelled and the baby woke up in loud cry
" Hush now Ivory..am here.."
I watched Violet put her on her laps and sent her back to sleep and I almost choked
" Yes...fa_..... father! I was just thinking of how nice the name is. Am sure am much better than the person who named me!"
Her voice and eyes were cold and I was feeling hot and cold at the same time..
" Take care of yourself and your sister..."
I couldn't stand that innocent gaze of hers.. I went out nodding at the maid before leaving..
I took it upon myself to question some guards...it was then I felt relieved to know that violet didn't get to hear anything at all in particular for her to give me sudden chills. Maybe she was just angry that I didn't act like a father towards the innocent baby.
" He called for you...?"
" Yes..we just told him we didn't see the princess. But I wasn't on duty..if the king hears I'll be dead "
" I was on duty but I saw the princess going to the queen's chambers.. and I didn't dare peep "
"It's okay.. just keep your mouths shut or I'll tell the princess of your current gambling den here in the palace and if that happens the king will hear of it "
" Nooo... don't do that. We'll shut up.. promise!"
" Good!"
*******
It has been days since I held my baby.. I didn't even get to hold her.. I gave up on her..
Pain surge my body as I woke up.. I didn't realize how long I slept but I know it's right after Zuma's bitter confession. Whatever happens Ivory is his own flesh and blood if Violet is not.
"Bring violet here...tell her to being the baby!"
I want to get to see the innocent seedling of Zuma this time...
