Melanie’s pov 🧚

I’m shocked, no shock is an understatement. My wh0le body is shaking right now, this is too much information to take in.

Father Reed is my biological father? How is that possible? How did it even become possible?

He’s supposed to be pure and…

There’s a mistake somewhere, something must have gone wrong, he must have faked these papers to help me out of a situation.

This can’t be true, it’s not true!

I need someone to explain things to me, I need someone to clarify a lot of things to me.

“Lanie…” Gabby called me quietly.

She came to my side and pulled me into a hug, maybe she was expecting me to cry or show some reaction..

But it’s not yet time for me to cry even if I want to, we haven’t confirmed this news.. we don’t know if these papers are fake.

“Sister Gabriella” mother Emily called me.

I turned towards the door, she walked in with her ever smiling face but frowned when she saw my expression.. she rushed to me.

“What happened?” she asked.

She looked at Gabby and Caleb, silently waiting for explanations from them.

“Mother Emily, we found something in father Reed’s office” Caleb said.

“What is that son?” she asked.

Oh, Caleb is mother Emily’s cousin, mother Emily and his mother are sisters… that’s why she wouldn’t scold him for coming to the convent.

“It’s about Mel and father Reed” was all he said.

Mother Emily seemed to understand immediately he said that, she sighed and sat on father Reed’s chair.

She reached for his photo sitting on the table, she traced her fingers through his photo.

“You’ve found out, I didn’t want you to find out this way…”

What does she mean? When was I supposed to find out? Or how was I supposed to find out?

“… I even sent for you to come see me immediately you arrive at the convent” she said.

Hmm, so this was the reason she actually wanted to see me?

“Mother Emily, I just want to know a few things.. is this true? Is father Reed really my father?” I asked.

Mother Emily nodded at Caleb to check the door wether someone is coming, if not he should lock it.

Caleb checked and shut the door when he saw no one’s in sight.

Mother Emily showed me the chair in front of her, I sat down and stared at her expectantly.
She cleared her throat and began.

“Yes, it’s true, father Reed is your father.. your birth father” she said.

I frowned.

“How? Wasn’t he supposed to be pure? Wasn’t he supposed to be a V-rgin?” I asked.

She nodded.

“Your dad wasn’t a happy man, he lived a very sinful life which he has always regretted all his life.. he was involved in so many evils things even before your birth..”

Bad things? Sinful life? What bad things did he do? How did you live a sinful life?

“He’s in the mafia and he was the right hand man of his boss, your father killed ruthlessly, he never had respect for human life.. until he met your mother, who was a nun then…”

My mother, my birth mother was a nun?! Wonderful.. everything is just so surprising!

“… but your father didn’t know she was a nun, he fell in love with her at first sight and started courting her. Your mother always rejected him, because she’s a nun and also because of his sinful lifestyle… ”

Mother Emily paused and studies my expression, but I guess I showed no reaction.. my face was blank.

She continued.

“… even though she was rejecting him, your father didn’t relent he kept on trying and trying until he won her heart. She had to leave the convent to be with him, but under one condition… ”

Maybe I can guess what her condition is.

“… he should leave his sinful life behind. Well, that wasn’t so difficult on your father’s part, he was ready to leave but his boss wouldn’t let him, so your dad fled! He left the state with your mother, but his boss still wouldn’t let him go…”

That’s how those evil people work, once they have you, they wouldn’t wanna let you go…father Reed always preached about this.

So he was actually speaking from experience…hm.

“…they continued running until they settled in a small town in Seattle, your mother got pregnant with you and your late twin sister… ”

“I had a twin sister?” I cut her off.

She nodded with a pained smile.

“Things was hærd for your parents, money wasn’t the problem but your parents weren’t happy..your father’s boss were still sending people after them”

Why won’t he let them go? What’s so special about father Reed?

“While on the run, your mom was forced into labor and she had your twin sister too early..just 6months…”

“6 months?!” Gabby, Caleb and I shouted at once.

“Yes, the baby was too young and couldn’t survive the stress, she died”

Gabby took my hand in hers, she squeezed it reassuringly.

“They were still on the run when your mother had you, but unfortunately she couldn’t survive.. she’s passed through a lot of stress and she passed away immediately after having you”

Mother Emily sighed sadly, from her expression I can tell she was a very close friend of my mother…just like Gabby and I.

“Your father knew he can’t give you a good and stable life if he continued running, he didn’t wanna abandon you either, he’s already lost his wife and one child.. so he ran here with you at midnight”

Ok, I felt like crying at her last words… Father Reed…

“He explained everything to me and begged me to take you in, he promised he’s gonna make sure you grow up in the ways of the Lord.. he promised to dedicate your life to God…”

Is that why he wanted me to become a nun?

“… our mother here then, may God bless her soul..”

She paused and did the sign of the cross, Gabby, Caleb and I also followed suit.

“Mother Rita, she said she can’t take him in because of his identity, because even if we let him in, his boss would still come for him. For that reason, he had to fake his identity and live in the convent disguised as a priest… ”

“So.. he wasn’t a priest?”

“Not really, which is why he doesn’t perform all the duties a priest does.. he’s only here to watch over his daughter… ”

She faced me.

“… which is you, Melanie” she concluded.

Father Reed is actually my father… my biological father!

“But your father was still secretly helping his boss, because he found him at last and wanted to kill you… Your father had no choice but to help him again, there’s a warehouse in that alley near the convent.. it belonged to your father”

It’s all a lie! All I have been taught, all I’ve ever known is lie! What is actually true? What is the truth?

“Melanie, your father did everything for you and…”

“Mother Emily, I want to go out for a walk” I cut her off.

She stared at me for a moment, then sighed and nodded.

“Caleb and Gabby will go with you, to keep you company” she said.

I didn’t reply her, I simply opened the door and rushed out.. I heard Caleb and Gabby following me.

★★★

We’ve been walking in silence, Gabby had our arms linked while Caleb is simply walking beside us.

It’s been quite a while since we’re walking, we’ve gone far from the convent and right now we’re approaching a park.

“Let’s sit in that bench” Caleb said and pointed at a bench a few meters away.

Gabby pulled me along, we sat on the bench and I stared blankly at little girl in ponytail..

She’s sitting lonely on a swing, she’s holding an ice cream in her hand and swinging herself gently.. she must be a lone wolf.

“Lanie, what’s on your mind?” Gabby asked me.

“Nothing” I replied.

“Nothing?” she asked in a surprised tone.

I nodded.. nothing’s on my mind because I don’t know how to react, or what to feel.

Finding out that my favorite reverend father is actually my biological father.. it’s heartbreaking, yet I find it relieving.

I don’t know what I’m feeling right now.

“You want ice cream?” Caleb asked me.

“Ice cream?”

My eyes landed on the ice cream the little girl’s holding, I smiled.

“Yes, please, I think it’s what I need right now” I said.

“I’ll be right back” he rushed off to an ice cream booth.

Gabby and I sat in a brief silence, but Gabby isn’t a quiet person, she must talk.

“You can cry if you wanna” she said.

“Why should I cry?” I asked.

“I don’t know, maybe because you just found out about your dad.. or maybe because your dad is dead before you got to know him” she said.

I laughed at her words, she’s partially right though.

In just one day, I found out about my birth father… I also found out about my mother, but they’re both dead before I even knew them.

She’s expecting me to be sad, but I don’t feel sad.

“Like seriously, I didn’t even dream of it, I didn’t think father Reed would have a child and it would be you” she said.

“Yeah.. I didn’t think of it too”

Now I understand why father Patrick is always complaining about me to father Reed..

Now I understand why father Reed has always been treating me so differently from the others.. it was his fatherly love for me.

Now I understand why he wanted me to be perfect in all things.

Now I understand why he wanted me to be a nun, but…

“I just wanna know one thing”

“What?” I asked.

“Do you still wanna be a nun now?”

Right.. do I?

“You know, your mentor is kinda your dad now…what do you think now?” She asked.

I sighed.

“I don’t wanna think about it now, I’ll make my decision after father Reed’s burial”

“I think you should be addressing him as dad now” she said.

“Dad?”

“Hm”

Father Reed is what I’m familiar with and it will take quite some time to change it…

“I’ll try” i said.

She nodded, we stayed in another brief silence until Caleb came back.

He held three ice cream cones in his hands, he handed one to Gabby and the other to me.. then sat next to me.

“Hmm, sweet vanilla!” Gabby mo-ned.

I winced and moved away from her, I hate vanilla, in fact I’m allergic to it.

“What’s with that expression, as if I don’t hate your chocolate” she said.

“Chocolate is the best, right Caleb?”

“Right” Caleb supported me.

Gabby scoffed loudly.

“Of course you’ll take sides with her, you have a crush on her” she blurted out.

“Gabby!” Caleb called her warningly.

He took a glance at me, there’s a blush on his face already which he’s trying to cover up with a cough.

I glared at Gabby for making the atmosphere awkward, she didn’t have to say that… Wait, is this what Mr Bright is talking about?

“I was just joking, why are y’all so tensed and taking it seriously” she laughed.

Just then my phone rang, I reached for it and saw a strange name flashing on the screen.

*My darling Lucifer?!*

What sort of strange, weird and evil name is this? I wondered.

“Er.. are you gonna receive the call?” Gabby asked.

I cleared my throat and quickly pressed the answer button.

“Hello?”

“Yes, my darling, how did you like my name on your phone?” He asked.

Hearing his voice, it just reminded me that he’s father Reed’s murderer…he murdered my father.

It’s high time I find evidence against him and put him behind bars, he should pay for what he’s done.

“That’s such a weird name, I’ll change it”

“Don’t you dare!” He said.

Hmph! As if he can stop me, I’ll just change it before going back and he’ll never know.

“Are you done yet?”

“No!” I snapped at him.

“Oh.. then what did you find? Why do I feel like you’re sad?” He asked.

He can also feel my emotions? What exactly is he?

“Why are you sad?”

“It’s none of your business!”

He laughed.

“Darling, your business is my business. Tell me where you are, I’ll come pick you up and cheer you up”

“No, thank you” I said.

He laughed again, he love laughing.

“I’ll just have to ask my demons” he said and hanged up.

I stared at my phone angrily, wishing I can just throw him a punch from here.

“Who was that?” Caleb asked.

“The devil that killed father Reed… My father” I whispered the last part.

He frowned, but didn’t say anything. I shoved my phone in my bag and focused on my ice cream.
