章節 6: Chapter 5: The Confession
Kai Virtanen's POV
I did not know what has come over me when I heard Kathleen's explanation about her clothing of choice. I mean I have nothing to say about it but she made it hard for me to control my anger inside me. I just lose control with her. I slowly opened my eyes as I knew that she might be scared and called the police to take care of me. She must be because she doesn't want to do anything with me. I don't give a fuck as well. Might as well get out of this terrible nightmare.
"awake already? I thought you might want to lay down even more," Kathleen's voice was booming in the silent room. I got up as I can see she was seating at the chair that was situated at the end of the bed and was looking at me like a queen. The moonlight shone on her brunette hair like her twin but I remembered that she had a different one when she was younger.
"don't you have anything better to do?" I asked as I got up from the bed and looked at her. I looked around the room and it was not the same room that I have been to this afternoon.
"I had John moved you to another room. Well, thanks to you, my room has been a total wreck," she said as she put her arms on the armrest of the chair.
"Sorry, I don't mean to do that," I said as I was rubbing my neck. It was painful as the pillows were not the ones that I usually used.
"then if you want to get a hold of my sister, you should manage that," she said as she got up from the sitting and went to the corner of the room.
"do you play chess?" She asked as she stopped to look at me. I nodded. She smiled before she went to sit at the table and gestured me to join her. I went to the table and sat opposite her as she rearranged the pieces.
"You play chess? I thought you did not. Only your sister played it as she was the world champion in this game," I said as I was moving my pieces because I got the white pieces.
"there's a lot of things that you don't know about me, Virtanen. For example, check," she said as she moved her castle to my king. I didn't see that coming from her as she leaned in the chair as I was thinking about my next move.
"well, in the files that your father gave it to me…" I said before I was cut off.
"do not trust anything that you read, Virtanen. Don't you ever learn from it?" She said as she moved her pieces and it was check again.
"how come you be good at this game even you have been spending your time in prison for so many years?" I exclaimed as I tried to get out of that situation before the chess ended.
"yes, I might be in prison for so many years but it has their good side. I can enhance the skill that I already have and pick up the new ones that I wanted to learn," she said as she moved her pieces before she knocked out my king.
"Checkmate," she said as she looked at me, smiling wickedly. I just scoffed at her as she was looking outside the window as it was shining in the moonlight so brightly tonight.
"I never had it easy, you know," she started the conversation as I was starting to enjoy the silence between us.
"What is?" I asked as I don't understand what she was saying. She sighed before looking at me.
"my life, I never had it easy. You might think that since I was the firstborn and all," she said before I cut her off.
"wait, you're the firstborn? Then why is your sister get to be the crown princess?" I asked as I don't understand about the monarchy and all that shit. She sighed again.
"The accident was the moment that my twin has luck on her side. She convinced my father that I was the one responsible for the accident…" I cut her off again.
"that shocked the whole country," I finished her sentence. She smiled as I knew what I just did.
"Sorry, did not mean to interrupt," I said as I was looking at my fingers.
"no, it's fine. I know how it felt to complete someone's sentences," she said as she was smiling for the first time after I knew her. There was a left dimple on her cheek and I thought it looked cute on her. She sighed again before looking out the window again to see the moon.
"she managed to get my father to believe that I was the bad behavior one and got sent to prison for 5 years. I don't know at the time but now I know that it was never my fault, to begin with," she said as she was crossing her arms in front of her chest. I gulped as I avoided my view from her notorious stance.
"of course, I understand that," I suddenly said to her. She looked at me as she was trying to comprehend it.
"what do you mean by that?" She asked me as I looked outside to see the moon that shines brightly in my eyes.
"When I was first diagnosed with this disease, my grandfather, he disowned me as he knew I will not be a very good soldier to keep his empire up and running. So, he gave it to my cousin, Chris. But after some time that I have spent wandering around the world, learning to control it, I came out in the top of my own business that my grandfather finally took me in the family again. so, you not the only one that had it difficult in your life," I said as I looked deep into her maroon eyes. She smiled at me as I smiled back at her.
"I guess we're meant to be then," she said as she put her hands under her chin as she looked at me with her wicked smile that I came to like for some time now.
"I supposed," I replied as I looked at her as the moonlight shone on both of our faces.
After some conversation and confession that we had last night, we decided to sleep in the bedroom. Not that I don't want to get out of the castle and went home, but Kathleen insisted me to stay over so that her parents believed that I have fallen in love with her. It was all a part of the plan that she devised for me to get her twin to fall in love with me.
"Are you sure this will be working?" I asked her as we tucked in the bed.
"yes, I have left a message for her to come to visit us tomorrow. And Chris will be there as well. Two can play at this game. If he thinks that you are happy, then maybe he will want to know the secret. And after that, we will strike," Kathleen said as she went to the right side of the bed. I went to the left side. She was wearing lingerie that was quite revealing for her but I don't mind since she knows that I was not interested in her. She felt at ease. And with that, we went to sleep and for the first time, I felt peaceful with Kathleen by my side. I wonder what would happen if Katherine was beside me.
after some time in the middle of the night, I have to get some water as I was thirsty. I went out of the bedroom as I did it quietly as I knew that Kathleen was a light sleeper as it was described in the dossier. I opened the door and closed it before I relived the breath that I was holding in. As I went toward the stairs, I was being held against the wall by her butler, John.
"Listen, boy. I don't know what you want with my precious mistress, but if you ever made her sad or shed tears because of you, you know what will come for you, understood?" He asked as he was holding my head against the wall. I nodded quickly as his grip was killing me.
"Good," he said as he was still holding it.
"John, let him go," Kathleen's voice was echoing against the empty hallway.
"Mistress, I was just…" he said before Kathleen held her hand up.
"I know, you just worried about me," she said as she went to my side helping me to get back on my feet.
"but I can take care of myself now, you know. I'm not little kid anymore," she said as she went to the stairs with me.
"understood, mistress," he said before Kathleen waved her hand. I looked at John before he was glaring at me as he was reminding me of the warning.
"ignore him. He has always been a father figure to me since my real father has no time at all," she said as she was guiding me to the stool in the kitchen.
"don't get me wrong but ow," I said as I was holding my head.
"let me," Kathleen said before she took the first aid kit and help me to treat my head.
"I'm sorry on his behalf," she said as she was putting ointment on the wound that he caused. I just looked at the ground as her chest was on the same level as my eyes. I avoided it.
"no problem," I said as we went on silence for the rest of the night.
