Escaping Reality.

Chapter twelve

Regina's pov

We walked out of the fancy restaurant and he dropped me few blocks away from my house . I couldn't help but sigh . So many emotions rushed through my body making my face hot and flushed . It felt nice to have walked side by side with a celebrity, especially a life saver like Blue but I was reluctant , not wanting to be a burden .

Adrenalin rushed through my veins at the thought of working with Blue . I only hesitated because I have not properly caught ties with Wilson family.

I want to cut off ties with them and live for myself. All these years I've been living for them, giving them all I earn just to support the family but it'll all ends now . I won't live my life like a substitute anymore

Clinging to them all this while despite their abuse was simply foolish making me ashamed of myself. It bruised my ego a lot but I kept seeking for stupid family ties. If my own mom could dump me at the orphanage at the age of five despite being alive and well who are the Wilson family to treat me well ? I couldn't even expect anything from them , picnics , birthday celebrations, gifts , credit cards , monthly allowances, Christmas vacations , I couldn't expect even the lowliest things and they never included me anyways . Every circumstances reminded me that I was not just part of their big family . I would have left long ago but I didn't have a choice but now I do . Now, maybe I have the chance to live better.

Finally getting to the front of the Wilson house, I stop . A shiver ran down my spine , cold sweats beads on my face and tears pooled my eyes. It was so hard , the home I had ever know for so many years. The only people i had ever associated with for so many years are about to abandoned me again.

Bracing myself again I blinked away my tears . Entering the gate , I walked towards the house.

As I entered, the maids looked surprised. Of course they expected me to be in the basement. Ignoring them I sat down on the couch waiting for my foster family.

The clock kept ticking, minutes and hours gone but I sat with a straight back refusing to let my guard down. The party was not over yet that's probably why they were not hear yet.

I looked at the time, it was already getting dark. I fidget with my fingers hoping they won't send me out today.

I thought of grandpa , for any reason he won't send me out at night. At least, one thing I know about him is that he doesn't use people's weakness to kick them down.

With a conclusive thought in mind, I went upstairs to my room. Yes , to my room, since I'll be leaving here I would not accept any punishment from this family anymore.

I quickly packed my things into a big bag before resting on the small bed. It's going to be the last time here anyways .

The door suddenly creaks open and my eyes flutter open as well. Wendy walked into the room wearing a long glittering evening gown .

I grabbed my phone from the side table . I sat up straight, wearily staring at her . Every time she confronts me she always put me in one trouble or another.

My brows frowned in annoyance as I gazed at her . Her perfect make up stretching as a smug smile filled her face .

" It's not even up to twenty-four hours yet you're out of the basement. How daring, sister " she said with mockery dipping in her voice.

My heart cringe at the sight of her viciousness .

"Wendy, you surely never let me enjoy a little peace in this house, do you? " I replied. She smiled catching me off guard.

" Oh , what peace is there to enjoy you're leaving this house soon . Opps, I shouldn't have let that slip too soon " she covered her mouth acting obviously. She looked at my deadpan face and frowned slightly.

" You knew ? " She asked figuring that I already know.

" What's it to you " I asked with a smile on my face " you don't know, grandpa might change his mind and let me stay . After all I was his favorite granddaughter " I said it with a smile but there was no fluttering feeling in my heart like before. Only coldness radiated from my bones .

Her face changed at my words . Giving me a hard hard glare .

" Stop acting shameless, he's not your blood relation . Do you think he's going to abandon his own family just for an outsider " she snared . " Think wisely, you threatened me and even hurt me with a knife. You don't expect the Wilson family to keep harboring someone who hurt an heiress " she concluded with a proud smile on her face.

Heiress! My foot. If not for the seriousness of this issue I'd have laughed out loud.

" Hey , do you think this is funny? You threatened yourself and hurt yourself and you framed me for it ... You are toying with people's lives! " I said raising my voice.

Wendy raised her brows surprised at my tone . She laughed flipping her hair behind her.

" What's with your attitude? Hmm." She raised her head higher almost resembling a swan.

" You did nothing wrong... But you suddenly fought back in the school garden and I felt threatened because you showed me how cool and beautiful you could be. So , I cut my self and blamed it on you . That's how bad I want you out of my life. " She said looking pleased with herself.

How could somebody be so horrible and heartless . I shook my head helplessly. She is really a psychopath.

" You, you are really crazy " I said .

" Well then" I clicked on my phone saving the recording I started few minutes ago.

" Let's go confess your sins " I told her and watched as her eyes widened.

" You were recording all this while? " She asked in disbelief.

" Yes , how was my acting my dear sister? . I learned a little from you, I hope you don't mind" I smiled at her shocked face and walked out of the room.

I'm sure the whole family is at home now, I heard some noise from downstairs confirming my thoughts.

I walked briskly to the stairs almost excited. I was about to descend down the first step only to be pulled back.

" What do you think you're doing. You want to ruin my plan ? " She asked snarly .

" You want to ruin my life . Hands off , you psychopath" I said trying to brush her hands off my collar but she held on tightly.

" You see I wanted to let you stay for a few days here but I guess you get to leave sooner. " She said through her gritted teeth.

I looked at her with a frown on my face . I tried to pry her fingers off me but that look in her eyes told me she had other plans.

" Regina, please stop ! " She cried with a loud voice before releasing her hold . She actively rolled down the stairs right before my eyes , hitting her head several times before finally reaching the floor. I was petrified looking down at the floor. Wendy seemed to have fainted .

" Wendy! Wendy! " I heard my father called waking me from my daze . The whole family gathered around her . Grandpa, father, mother, Chris and the servants.

" Regina, you pushed your sister down the stairs. How could you?" Mrs Wilson shouted drawing everyone's attention on me .

" Quick take her to the hospital" Grandpa said .

I ran down the stairs and watched as the servants carried her away. Mrs Wilson and Chris followed them out.

" Grandpa" I called out hoping he won't believe I pushed Wendy down .

" Regina, you don't need to speak anymore. Leave this family and never come back again" he said ordering the servants to drive me out with my luggage.

I sat outside the Wilson family gate holding my knees close to my body. My body was shaking with fear . Grandpa sent me out in the dark night despite knowing about my fear for darkness. I shut my tightly, before dialing blue's villa line .

" Pick up please" I whispered as my breathing grew heavier and my chest grew tighter .
