Illegitmate.

Chapter 3. Illegitimate.

"She's such an unfilial child! She's nothing like my Sammy!" A woman who was in her mid forties spoke resentfully. The person who spoke was Mrs. Devane, Aurora's step mom. 

Her patience wore thin when she kicked Aurora out of the house. That good for nothing actually dared to push her daughter down the stairs. Her baby landed in the hospital and she has been here for a week. It's all thanks to that disgraceful child.

"Mom, don't say that. Rory didn't mean to do it. It was an accident". Her voice was gentle. She was Sammy. She was lying on the hospital bed. Her face was extremely pale and white. Her face alone could make you want to protect her. She looked weak and frail.

"An accident? It wasn't an accident. She deliberately pushed you off the stairs,Sammy!" Mrs. Devane argued. She clearly wasn't having any of it.

"But mom…"

"But nothing!" Mrs Devane interrupted Sammy. She was a mother and no mother would watch and allow their daughter to go through any pain. Now her daughter was in a hospital she would never forgive Rory for this. Her anger vanished when she looked at her daughter's pale face.

"Look Sammy,you are a beautiful and kind hearted girl who loves to see the good in people and Rory is your sister so you'll want to stand up for her. But let's call a spade a spade. She doesn't deserve your sympathy in the slightest." Even her tone became softer.

"Mom…" 

"Sammy,listen to your mother. She knows what's best for you." Her father, Mr Devane spoke.

"She didn't even come visit you after she pushed you down the stairs!" Mrs Devane scoffed.

"Pushed you? When did I ever push you?" A cold voice sounded from the door.

They all turned around and saw Rory. She looked different. They all stared at her with shock. Especially Sammy.

"You excuse of a girl! You still have the cheek to say you didn't push her. If you didn't then who did?" Mrs Devane was the first one to attack her.

She shrugged her shoulders and cooly replied. "I already said I didn't push her. Why don't you ask your precious daughter?" Rory said sarcastically.

Sammy's face turned paper white.

"Rory!" Mr and Mrs Devane both shouted her name. Mrs Devane was fuming with anger.

"Sshh! This is a hospital. If you shout they might kick you out". She reminded them casually.

"Oh my God! After all we have done for you. You still repay us like this? I mean what else did I really expect from a classless illiterate like you?" Mr Devane said annoyed.

"And who is to blame for that?" She retorted. They were all startled. Rory had never talked back to them before!

"Besides Mr Devane,you should take a good look in the mirror before pointing fingers at anyone". She added. Mr Devane was mad but he couldn't refute.

"Rory, don't talk to dad like that. He is only doing this because he is hurt by your actions". A clear soft voice sounded. If it were in the past,Rory would have fallen for this. Her sister was such a good actress. She deserved an award. 

Rory laughed and said to Sammy. "Last time I checked, illegitimate children didn't have the right to speak. So who gave you the right to interfere in my matters?" Her tone was like the breeze but it carried a lot of weight.

Sammy immediately shut up. Her eyes were filled with viciousness. How dare she? She was a nobody and she had the audacity to call her illegitimate? She was going to make her eat those words.

"Rory you ingrate! If you didn't come here to visit Sammy,then why are you here?" Mrs Devane's voice rang.

She was bored and had nothing to do and Daniel went to work. It was 2pm. After they got married,she got introduced to the servants in the house. The servants immediately liked their new mistress. 

"Oh I was bored and had nothing to do,so I said why not come to check up on my dear sister". She said casually. 

She went over to Sammy's bed and in a low voice she said,"you were surprised to see me alive,weren't you?"

Sammy looked at her pretending to be innocent. "I don't understand what you mean". Rory rolled her eyes and said,"don't act dumb. We both know what I mean. So drop the act. How would everyone react if they found out about their princess's true colors?" She glared at Sammy meaningfully.

"No one will believe you over me!" She said with confidence.

"Are all illegitimate children foolish?" She wondered. Sammy gritted her teeth. Her eyes became cold.

"It is true no one would believe me. But if I have evidence,someone would definitely believe me, right?" Her question made Sammy's eyes go wide. She must be joking. There was no evidence right? She replaced her fear with a smile.

"There is no evidence because I didn't do anything". She said proudly.

Rory smirked and said,"We'll see about that". She got up and before anyone could stop her she left the room. 

What did she mean by that? Her words made Sammy feel something was wrong. Everything about her was different. It wasn't as simple as it looked.

The satisfaction she had was already top notch. She got out of the hospital and saw a familiar Maybach car parked a few metres away from the hospital. Her black hair was blown by the breeze. This was her first time coming out. She inhaled the fresh air.

She walked to the car and got inside. Rory saw Daniel typing on his laptop. He looked busy.

However,he spoke to Rory without looking up. "The registration has been confirmed. You can start tomorrow". 

Good,very good. She can start tomorrow. They deprived her of a life and now she had the opportunity to live freely,she definitely won't waste it. Starting tomorrow was just perfect for her.
