As much as I did not want to pay attention to the ending part of the letter, it kept calling my attention, what did they mean by 'hid true identity?'

I pondered hard about what I just read, what were they trying to say? Because definitely I had not found out anything about Zoriel.

Though he seemed weird and awkward but I could remember when he told me that he was only a human like me.

Looking at his physical appearance, he definitely looked like a human to me, well, except those scary eyes of his. 

Aside that, he appeared to be a perfect human so what on earth were they talking about?

I went back to the letter and read it once again, my eyes highlighting the last paragraph of the letter. One thing I knew was that my parents never lied to me, they were always straight to the point so if they say something about Zoriel, then it must be true. 

"Who are you?" I asked invisible Zoriel whom I pictured in front of me. Ever since I met him, he always seemed quiet and covert with a touch of mysteriousness added to his life.

Mystery which one can never place a finger on, well, except those that were close to him. Another issue that came to my mind was the hatred which my mother in law had towards me. 

Could it be that there was actually a strong reason behind her hatred? Maybe because I was a human and they weren't? 

"Oh gawd..." This was too much for me to take in, the fact that there was a high probability that I was living in the midst of non humans made my stomach churn.

I went ahead to check out the other items contained in the box, the jewelries were so beautiful and attractive and the maternity stuffs were just so hilarious but still, all those didn't succeed in adverting my attention.

I was still so perturbed about the matter on ground, what if truly they were all a different creature? What if truly I had married a different entity all together.

I needed to find out before jumping into conclusion, though I knew that definitely something was wrong somewhere and because of that knowledge, I could hardly go to sleep. 

The night was so long that it felt like an eternity before the sun finally came out of it's hiding place.

Due to the fact that I could hardly get some sleep, my eyes hurt really badly that I could hardly see properly.

I just did not know why my parents decided to send this ambiguous letter at this time when I was trying to get along. 

How then do I get along now that such information had been revealed to me, how do I live a normal life with unknown creatures all around me. 

But what if I was getting it all wrong?.

I didn't want to conclude yet, maybe after finding a concrete proof, then I would conclude my suspicions. 

Breakfast for that day went very quiet and awkward as I couldn't help staring intently at the lady opposite me and the strange man beside me.

I stared hard at them despite their own glares, I so badly wanted to know what was going on in their heads. I knew that they probably would be confused as to why I was staring at them in such manner but I didn't care.

Curiosity and suspiciousness was eating deeply into my soul and everything now came back to me as questions.

From the ab initio of this whole episode, why did my parents give me out freely to this family? 

Why was everything so dark and creepy in here? Why did my mother inlaw hate me so much? And why was Desmonda locked up?

Who were this people?

At this point I could only blame my parents for not telling me about the people I was married off to and my confusion was why they didn't disclose their identity to me? 

Most especially, why did they do this to me?

Even if I sort of knew that Zoriel was a weird person, my curiosity and fear now threatened to double.

"And why have you been staring at me?" The voice of my mother in law drew me back to reality, I did not realize that I had zoned out while staring at her.

"Nothing..." I quickly averted my gaze and finished up with my meal before heading back to my room to avoid further questioning.

Deep within me, I knew that if I did not do some findings and research about these people, I wouldn't be at rest. My curiosity would only grow wider and probably make me go insane.

I had to look for contradictory stuffs or information about Zoriel to back up my suspicions.

Luckily, the information about Zoriel going out for some business got to me somehow and I had to take advantage of his absence.

After a while alone in my room, I went out into his room and began to search through his things, though having in mind that I would not waste much time because it had been quite some time since he left and by calculation, he should be on his way back or if not on his way home, then he should be thinking about returning.

I searched through his drawers and found some documents about lands and constructions but those weren't what I needed. 

I needed documents containing identity or locality so I searched carefully through all his drawers and even on his work table but I found none. Not even an identity card. 

I went ahead to search inside his closet, some documents too were in the vanity cabinet and they seemed to be the papers which I needed.

Unfortunately, in it contained only his name "ZORIEL". The other information were all blank, his age, origin, locality, parents name and origin, and other vital information.

"What the hell..." I breathed out in frustration as to why I couldn't find any useful information about my so called husband.

I knew I had spent quite some time in there and I had to leave, so I carefully replaced the documents back into the draw and stood up to leave but my heart literally jumped out of my mouth at the figure I turned around to face.
