His arrogant and charming wife

Secret room

After a comfortable shower i lay back in bed and had a meal before going of to sleep. I been days now had daily therapy with a nurse every day to get my body functioning well due to been in a coma for long. I became more quiet my uncle and aunt kept asking what was wrong but i always brushed it off as just wanting to be that way,slowly. two weeks came and i was supposed to be discharged.

After having my breakfast that morning my uncle came in with my aunt and three men ,one was my fathers personal lawyer and friend there were also the other two dressed in a formal attire i don't recognize. Good morning uncle i greeted he stood beside me, meralda this is barrister Jason and this two are from the orphanage and they came to talk to you so I'll leave you to uncle Jason,ill be outside if you need me i just kept quiet only given him a nod in consent before he left the room.

Turning my attention back to those in the room i gave uncle Jason a questioning look, he sat beside me my bed and hugged me. Am sorry dear for all you've been trough,am sorry for not visiting you i hope you can get over your pain faster and look at the better side of life.

I gave him a slight smile I'll be fine soon i said giving him a slight nudge pointing at the men with my chin. Your dad's will states that if he passes on before you come of i should ask if you would like to live with his brother your uncle or your maternal family, I'll advice you to choose either of the two or else this officers will take you to an orphanage .

I sighed i know i don't hold a grudge for my maternal family but i was never close to them in the first place and I'll find it difficult staying with them. Orphanage is not an option so i have to go for my uncle,at least am much comfortable there, pulling out of my thought i have decided to live with my uncle i said he just nod seems like he anticipated that are you sure you really want to move in with them he asked. I gave him a nod -he sighed in disappointment very well i process the necessary paperwork so you can move in with them.

Thank you i told him he smiled at me giving me a pat on the head before living. Later that day at midday we were done with the hospital procedures and left. I was silent on the ride home about an hour later seeing the familiar gate of our residential mansion caught my attention i lifted my head up given my uncle a questioning look. I thought it will be better to live here so as to feel the presence of of your parents and also have their memories close,i gave him a nod and paused for a while before asking so where would you all be staying here as well?. Yes so as to make it easier to look after you, i gave him a nod before saying thanks.

Standing on front of the door i breathed deeply before opening the door,stepping inside the house memories of my parents and Damian come flooding up to me,the images of my parents sitting on the couch happily chatting,images of i and Damian running round the house laughing they were still fresh in my mind. Taking in a shaky breath i try my best to calm myself before taking my luggage up to my room.

The familiar color of light pink and blue painted wall came to my line of sight as i entered,closing the door behind me.

Looking around the room i spotted the gift Damien bought me on his return before the accident i walk up to the box caress the box lightly before before opening my closet i stood before the mirror then pressed the edge of the mirror twice slowly the door moved slightly till it opened fully. I stepped in side my secret room which no one was aware of except Damian and my dad cause they both built it, it was our little secret which we share.

Looking around the room was the size of my bedroom but much bigger it was painted sea blue and white. The gifts i had always received from Damien was inside a drawer untouched, i opened it and added the one i was holding. There was also a sport bike which belong to Damian parked close the tunnel exit with two helmets hanging on the mirror of the bike. There was also a fridge, a portfolio on the table which i left there in a hurry when Damian called me.

Papers of dresses drawn were pasted on the wall of the room i always had a hubby of drawing different styles and designs whenever i imagine them. There was a small size picture frame on my table of me and Damian at the beach on our last trip to Hawaii.

I twisted the picture frame on the table twice and the door opened once again i looked around one last time which had memories of my family which i was trying so had to run away from, before living.
