Part 31~An Old Truth~

Part 31 ~An old Truth~


Jackson pulled a chair up sitting directly in front of Shandy who sat motionless. Leaning forward he took her small hands into his own, as he stared at her while she waited in her silent trance for whatever story he was about to tell her.
Taking a deep breath, he began.
"Many years ago....before Mr.Kimbers became the king of Rolod, he and my mother were childhood sweethearts. As the years passed they became closer, their bond growing stronger each day. They both knew they could never be matched with someone from another kingdom, since it was strictly forbidden. My mother was from Elayzia and as you know that prick is from Rolod."
"It was a union that was doomed from the very start, yet they couldn't stay away from one another. They secretly met as often as they could, even though they could have been exiled from their kingdoms for such a thing. The rules were definitely much stricter back then."
"After my mother's 18th birthday she was matched with the king of Elayzia and was to marry him within a couple of weeks. She was ultimately devastated. She had always remained hopeful that she and Mr Kimbers would somehow manage to be together."
"She ran to him after learning she was destined to another. Her emotions high, and they connected.... intimately."
Jackson stopped for a moment running his hand through his jet black hair trying to compose himself.
"Two weeks later my mother was married to the king of Elayzia. She knew she was pregnant before her wedding day, but of course she never said a word about it, because she knew her and the child would be cast out and have nowhere to go, so she passed off the baby as the first born to the king of Elayzia."
"Of course Mr Kimbers would have never said anything to mess up his place as the next king of Rolod.
His face twisted up in anger at the mere mention of King Kimbers.
Even though my mother swore she never told him. However I believe he had to have known." He scoffed.
"A month after my mother's union with the king of Elayzia, Mr Kimbers was matched with his betrothed, soon after his father died and he was crowned king."
Jackson stood from the chair taking a few steps away.
"I am the first born son to the king of Rolod. However, a year after my birth, Donovan was born and named the first son to the King of Rolod. My mother told me all this on her death bed. You dont know what it's like to have all this laid on you when your 19 fucking years old and you wanna scream & curse
your mother for withholding the damn truth from you for so many years, but you cant, because she's too sick and weak to handle it." He turned his back to her.
"I had to suck it up and except it. She died a few days later. I never said anything about what my mom told me until now....you are the very first to know the entire truth. After a few years had passed the man I had always known as my father began to treat me differently. He was cold.....distant."
He turned walking back to the chair and sitting down once again with a pained look on his face.
"One night he and I argued, it became violent. He had known I wasn't his blood, I dont know how he found out, I assume he must have listened in on the last conversation I had with my mother and just let it go until that night when it came to a head and boiled over."
"It wasn't my damn fault that all this shit happened, yet he blamed me for it and said he was going to remove me as his successor....said I wasn't his blood and didn't deserve the title of king. I'd be damned if I was gonna allow him to cast me out after everything I had been through for that son of a bitch!. I deserved the throne and he would not take it from me!" He balled his fists up tightly.
"He and I stood at the top of a long staircase cursing each other. I told him to step back using my persuasion, he did exactly as I commanded and fell down a long flight of stairs which broke his damn neck. These abilities can not be used on blood relatives, that's when I knew for certain, he wasn't my father. I had held onto the hope that maybe, just maybe my mother had been mistaken, but she wasn't."
"Mr.Kimbers is my biological father and I know it for a fact. I became the king of Elayzia shortly after my "fathers" untimely death and I loved the power. I was happy & content....for a while."
"Then I began to grow curious of my real family and had my little sister go and apply for a servants position to the Kimbers family, just to watch them and she'd report back to me."
"Of course she did exactly as I instructed, since I was all she had left and would do anything I told her without having to use persuasion at all. I wanted her to become close with the eldest son of my real father and find out all she could. Which she did. Little sissy went the extra mile to get information from that philandering bastard."
"The girl that Devin thought he was "in love" with was nothing more than a pawn I sent to seduce him. Then I had her try and bed Donovan which didn't turn out so good. Seems that whoremonger has some loyalty when it came to his brother's women. But it all worked out since Donovan recognized the girl was using Devin. So Donovan proved this to his little brother...yet it blew up in his damn face and Devin thought they had fucked which destroyed the boy that had fallen for this girl that never even had any interest in him to begin with. She was just following my gentle persuasions." He chuckled evilly.
"I kinda felt bad for the kid since I had nothing against him, but I did what I had to do. There's always some casualties of war along the way ya know." He smirked.
"Once baby bro walked in on them, that set the wheels of hate turning and I fucking loved it. Then that horrible accident happened. The poor girl offed herself and left that sad wittle note." He feigned sadness, wiping away fake tears with a menacing smile appearing on his face. "All thanks to me." His face full of pride for the heinous act he had caused.
"Yet it didnt completely turn out as I had imagined it would. But close enough. I had hoped he would kill Donovan, but he did not, and I couldn't use my persuasion on Devin with him being a blood relative, or else I would have had Devin plunge a knife in his brothers chest while he slept." He smiled wickedly.
"So getting on with the story. My sister fell head over heels for the middle brother Jayzon. Later on she introduced us and we became pretty good friends or so he thought. I eventually told Jayzon the story of who I really was, but didn't tell him everything like I have you my dear. He accepted me happily and kept my secret, because he was and is so in love with my sister and she fell as well. And no the two are not related...if your wondering."
"She despised Donovan, yet she kept up her act for me, to get more information. So...when she came and informed me that he had been complaining about having to leave Rolod for his betrothed, I was curious about that, but really thought nothing of it. I figured he'd fuck it up with his cheating anyways. But I was wrong."
He layed his head back taking in a deep breath and blowing it out slowly.
"And then you crossed over with that bastard and I felt your presence, which by the way caused me some huge issues girl. I didnt understand why I kept feeling a pull that caused me many sleepless nights. When my sister told me of how Donovan had changed and seem to be in love with you. I couldn't wait to snatch you up before I lost any chance at all, since I am the rightful first born of the king of Rolod and you are the match to the eldest son. You are my betrothed sweetheart. Once we join together it will overpower whatever you thought you felt for Donovan. You'll have no choice but to feel it my sweet little queen."
"Now do you understand why I'm here for you? We are destined to be together and so we shall be. You will accompany me back to my kingdom and as long as you behave yourself no harm will come to the Kimber's. However if you dare to try and defy me, need I say that the consequences will be very, very unfavorable." He concluded leaning back in the chair leisurely as he stared intently at her."
This vile fuck was the reason for everything that had happened between Donovan and Devin. He was the one to cause that girls death. She hadn't killed herself....he had forced her using his ability. He'd even used his very own sister to help him with these atrocious acts. Oh God, how could any person be so dispicable. Shandy thought.
"You may talk of your own free will now." He spoke removing the power he'd held over her.
Tears immediately poured from her eyes as she could barely catch her breath after hearing all the reprehensible things this man had accomplished.
"Keep in mind Shandy....persuasion isn't my only gift. I have a few more very unique talents and you most definitely wouldn't wanna try me." he cautioned.
"So, will you come willingly or shall I cause a bit more chaos to unfold? Which I honestly dont wanna do since all I really care about right now is getting that ass of yours where it belongs. Be aware of the fact that I will have absolutely no problem with causing pandemonium to break out here if you chose the wrong path my dear. I'd much rather you come of your own free will. Its your decision however....just remember....there will be consequences to your actions....so you'd do best to pick wisely...if you know what's good for you....and them." He raised his brows, giving her a warning look.
Of course she had no choice but to do exactly as this crazed mother fucker instructed her to do, even though he was trying to make it look as though it was entirely up to her.
"I....I will go with you willingly." She choked out. She'd do whatever she needed to keep anyone from dying. This monster that sat before her had went to great lengths to get his way, causing the death of an innocent girl and killing a man that had been his father just because he felt he was entitled to more than the throne he already possessed. She wouldn't take any chances with this heartless psychopath.
Shandy tried to mentally call out to Donovan. Telling him what was going on, but she wasn't sure she had gotten through to him. She was getting ready to be taken away from the man she loved. He was so close, yet still too far away. If she dared to scream this bastard could certainly cause huge problems and possibly kill more innocent folks and she definitely wouldn't risk that.
"Ok, let's go!" Jackson stood pulling her up, her legs feeling as if they'd completely fold up underneath her.
"Don't I---I need to gather m---my things?" Shandy asked, her voice wavering. Trying to buy time.
"Seriously?....No!, you won't need anything from this fucking place. You'll have everything at your disposal in Elayzia, my Queen." He pulled her along behind him.
"M---my legs are so weak, I feel as though I c---cant walk." She sputtered.
"I can fix that baby. And don't think for a minute I dont know when your stalling for time Shandy. Dont play games with me little woman." He reached down scooping her up into his arms easily.
Jackson touched a spot on the wall as vibrant colors began to swirl lighting up the entire room again.
Shandy began to freak out, crying and screaming hysterically. Jackson suddenly blew a puff of air in her face and all the world seem to fall down around her.
