Mike pulls Reggie away from the sight of Lucius becoming unconscious. The girl sobbed with the move she forced following Mike. They walked towards the large hall of the front of the mansion.
Mike guides Reggie to a sofa.
"Sit down Regina" Mike ordered as he sat down and hugged the girl. Reggie was crying harder.
"What we've done to him, Mike ... Why is it so painful. What has happened ...." Reggie spoke among her increasingly loud cries.
Derek walked to and fro looking for a waiter or anyone who could help him find a glass of water. A servant who came with a worried face came to Derek.
"Master ... What's wrong with Rose?" His eyes were about to cry when he saw Reggie sobbing and saw Reggie's shapeless hair.
"Can you help us? Get us some water to drink, a towel or a tissue?" Derek looked at the waiter who immediately nodded.
"Good, Master. You wait here." The waiter who was none other than Elina immediately ran towards the kitchen. He filled a tall glass of water, then grabbed a box of tissue and stepped back in half running towards the front hall.
"This, sir, "he said as he held out a glass and a tissue towards Derek. Derek greeted her then, smiling in thanks.
"Mike .. give Reggie a drink." Derek held out a glass to Mike who nodded. He pushed Reggie's body with one hand.
"Come Regina ... drink this," said Mike softly. Reggie shook his head and was about to lean back against Mike's chest, but Mike held his body.
"Take care of me, Regina. Drink this." Mike insisted and pressed the lip of the glass to Reggie's lips. With Reggie forced to drink it, he gulped greedily though reluctantly, soaking his sore, dry throat.
Elina looked confused and also sad. These two men called Rose by the name of Regina. Who is Rose really? Then he felt sorry with Rose's damaged hair, his cheeks also looked red, must have been hit by a slap and his temple looks no wound. Those servant girls are really mean. Elina stood looking at her friend with a sad face.
"Stttt .. Take a deep breath, calm down."
Mike wiped Reggie's tears with a tissue Derek gave him.
"What's so terrible about it, Mike? She ...." Reggie returned as he remembered how Lucius' body twitched and screamed in pain.
"We'll find out later .. Now calm down, then start telling Regina. The past you've kept, which even Amy doesn't know." Mike stroked Reggie's face and removed the hair from the side of his face.
Derek slowly sits on one of the sofas in front of Mike and Reggie. He was stunned to see Mike's soft side at this time, Mike never showed it, let alone a girl.
Slowly Reggie calmed down. Only one or two spouts escaped his lips.
"Now tell me. Since when did you know Lucius was your brother?" ask Mike.
Reggie wiped the rest of the tears on his cheeks with his arms and then squashed his nose.
"I know from childhood. I was 5 years old when I first met him."
Mike nodded, understanding that Reggie was brothers but a different mother to Lucius. Lucius was the first son of Eloy by his first legitimate wife.
"Your mother's Eloy's lover?" ask Mike. Makes Reggie grunt and shake slowly.
"You can believe it can't. But my mother married my father. They lived happily until I was 5 years old, then a woman came to our house. Reveal the facts about the father who is married and has one son who is already in his teens. Mother was very surprised and disappointed. the woman said it was***** and ******* ...."
"When Dad came home, they had a fight and he admitted he was married. Wife chosen for him because of a business deal. She lied to him for years, then the very upset father left us to take care of his business for a few weeks, without knowing that we have been taken and held captive by unknown people. Some people came and tied me and my mother, then took us to a very dark dungeon. I can't tell Dad and Dad who never came home not knowing what happened to us."
Reggie gulps. Mike frowned at the thought of little Regina languishing in a dark prison and the girl was locked back in a cellar by her fellow waitress.
"Sunday changed months .. Mother's hope that Dad would find us finally disappeared. We were locked up in that dungeon with no one to save us. We were fed once a few days and mom gave me her bread more often. So that he himself does not eat even for days ...." Reggie sobbed softly recalling his suffering with his mother in prison.
"The woman also comes every few days. When you are not fainting or too weak. He would tie my mother to a chair, and then begin to torment her, In front of my eyes .. The harder I cried and cried, the stronger the blows to my body. Until I finally learned to shut up every time he tortured and beat Mom."
Mike tightened his molars. Withstand the growl and mockery that he almost threw. Eloy had a hand in her daughter's suffering.
"We are starved and thirsty, when night falls we are cold. Several times the mother often got a fever because of the injuries on her body."
unnoticed by them, Lance who had made sure his master was calm and asleep had left the west wing to meet his guests, but he was stunned and instead stood without a sound. Listen to Regina's words.
"Then that night, Lucius somehow went down to the dungeon. He said he often heard Mom's screams or my crying, but for a long time our voices disappeared. So he wanted to come down and see if we'd been thrown out of jail."
"He knows you?"
"The mother recognized him as the father's son, and then she persuaded him to help us. First provide food and drink because I always cry from hunger, then ask him to provide a blanket to avoid the cold air at night. Lucius also often comes at night to play with me. He secretly gave us everything we needed in prison at that time ...."
Mike and Derek looked at each other. Mike knew Derek had the same question.
"This woman ... who kidnapped and tortured you .. Who is she?" ask Mike.
"He's Eleanor Montague. My father's first wife ... Lucius' birth mother."
Silence came back after Reggie said, then he took the drinking glass that Mike had given him and drank the contents until it ran out.
"Lucius often invited me to play at night, because only then could he escape from the list of obligations imposed on him by his mother. Lucius said he would be punished if he did not do everything perfectly ...."
"Punished?" said Mike.
"Yes ..he will be severely punished. He never told me what kind of punishment that woman gave."
Mike frowned. Was Lucius' condition one of the effects of his suffering from the past? Mike thought about it while looking around and realized Elina and Lance were there too listening to Regina's life story.
