《The Mistake》Chapter Thirty Four
Advertisement
Yay two updates in one day! And the third update this week! Yes there's a reason for this. In the upcoming two weeks will be exam weeks so there might not be an update coming out until after. I'll try my best to get at least a chapter in between studies lol. Sorry didn't edit well. Enjoy! =)
After a week had pass, Mindy's face was fully recovered. Today was the day that she had agree to meet her parents back at her home. Home, she thought, my home.
Jonah had insisted that he had someone drive her but she was persistent in going alone. She wanted privacy with her family without the presence of outsiders. At the end her persistency won.
Getting out of the taxi, she pays the cab driver his money and he drove off. Looking at her parents' estate, she couldn't be happier and knowing that her parents were just behind the gates had her heart jumping for joy. Tears wanted to escape at this moment but she didn't want to ruin the occasion so she held it in.
Opening the door to the gates she walks to the house. Before she can even reach, Grace, her mother is running out of the front door like a bull at her.
"Oh my gosh, my precious baby!" Grace jumped on her daughter.
Mindy wasn't any less excited than her. She hugged her mother ever so tightly like she was going to lose her any second now. She didn't want to, but her tears betray her and ran down like a stream.
"Baby why are you crying?" Grace was a little worry when she let her daughter go.
"Mom...(hiccup)... Mom I just miss you so much. (hiccup) I'm so happy to see you." Mindy said between sobs.
Mindy sees her dad, Bruce, walk out of the door towards her. She drops her hands from her mother and ran to her father for a hug as well. Forgetting at that moment that he was an evil man, she only saw her father.
When the family was finally settle down in the living room, Mindy begins to speak.
"Mom, dad, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you guys about this from the start, but I didn't have the courage in me too. I was also afraid of shaming the family." She intakes a deep breath.
"I got married." She looks down and started fidgeting with her fingers expecting her parents to yell at her any second now.

The room fell silence that was until the clapping of Grace's hand.
"Yes! I'm so proud of you hun. You don't know how long I waited for this day to come." Grace said excitedly.
"Wait you're not mad? Surprise?" Mindy was so confused she looks from her mother to her father. Her mother's face was nothing but happiness and although her father wasn't as excited, he looked to calm.
"Did you guys already knew?" she suspected.
"No honey. Why would you think that?" Grace lied. They both knew very well since the beginning.
"You're both so, collected?"
"Baby your mother and I have been waiting for the day you marry. We both trust in your decisions and are truly happy for you. But this doesn't mean that I'm not upset at your actions. You have some explaining to do." Bruce said.
"Well, while working abroad I met a guy...."
She explains her story matching similarly with Jonah's story. There was no way she was going to tell her parents that she was kidnapped and fell in love with her capturer.
"Well who is this guy? And his family?" Grace fakes like she didn't already know.
This question finally brought Mindy back to the true reality behind her father. She wonders if her mother knew but concluded that there was no way her mother can know and still be with him.
"His name is Jonah Lewis Chambers. Son of Nina Chambers and owner of Sky Corporation." Her voice was colder than she had intended it to be and her looks never wavered from her father. She wanted to see his reaction when he finds out that his daughter had married the woman he was had an affair with.
A smile spread across Bruce's face. "Well that's great baby. I know the man and his family. They are good people and very well off."
"Not even a hesitation or tiny look of guilt or sound of remorse. He doesn't even care that I married Jonah. Probably is ecstatic that I'm married into riches. How can he not feel anything at all?"
Mindy's heart pulled at her. The lack of her father's reaction only proves that he doesn't care. Her mother was saying something but that doesn't matter anymore. She drowns the sounds of both of her parents' voice and can only think of her mother-in-law. For sure she was never going to let her father and Nina come into contact ever again.

*****
Mindy stares at the hospital in front of her debating if she should go in or not.
After leaving her parent's home, she didn't want to return back to Jonah's yet. She wanted to clear her mind and think of something else other than her father and that was when the taxi drove by a hospital. Her thought shifted to the possible life in her stomach. Finally, she had the taxi driver dropped her off there.
"I might as well find out now since I'm out and alone." She found the courage to walk through the glass door.
-
"Congratulations Mrs. Chambers, you are pregnant. Looks like you are 4 weeks along now." The doctor sitting behind the desk announce to her.
Mindy feels her whole body go numb as her heart beats increase. Her hands shifted to her stomach rubbing it slightly. She didn't know if she wanted to smile or cry.
"Thank you." She smiles lightly at the doctor getting up wanting to get out of there.
"Would you like to set up an appointment to come in again? We can look at your baby and you can bring your husband." He hands her the documents of her.
"No thanks. I'll call if I have any questions." She walks out of the doctor's office.
"What am I going to do now? How can I be so careless? What am I suppose to tell Jonah? What if he doesn't want our child? He never mentioned having kids. What if he gets mad at me? What do I do?"
Mindy walked aimlessly lost in her thoughts. Not paying attention to where she was going she ran right into somebody dropping her documents all over the floor.
"Whoa there missy are you okay?" A familiar voice ring in her ears.
"I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention." She looks at the man she ran into and gasp. "Jordan?"
"The one and only. Wait you're Mindy right? Remember me, Jonah's best bud, the doctor?"
"Yeah I do." She smiled at him. "Sorry for being such a klutz."
She bends down and start gathering the paper. Jordan follows her lead to help.
"Yeah Jonah told me ya got hitched. Congratula....Holy COW your pregnant!" Jordan announced shock.
Mindy's body froze dead on the spot. She was so careless she forgot that the documents had contain her pregnancy test. She knew now Jonah was really going to find out.
"Wow this is great news! Jonah will be so psych!"
"Jordan please! Hush your voice."
"Sorry Mindy I'm just happy for my buddy you know and of course you too."
"About that.... Can you keep quiet about my pregnancy? I kinda don't want to tell Jonah just yet." She asked him hoping he will say yes.
"Why? Wait don't tell me you're not planning to keep baby Jonah?" he fretted.
"Of course I am! That's not the reason. I just need some time okay. To let this sink in." she said. There was no way in hell she was going to let any harm come to her baby.
"Okay but only if you promise to come here and let me take care of you. I want you and the baby to be healthy because if something happens and Jonah finds out I knew about this, he will definitely kill me." Jordan proposed.
"Deal." Mindy smiles at him.
-
Night had already settle when Mindy return home. She pays the driver and walked into the foyer with her bag, making sure the documents were smacked down on the bottom. Oddly there was no one there to greet her. "That's weird."
She was just about to walk up the staircase when she heard voices shouting coming from the den. Carefully making her way there the voices grew louder. She pushes the door open and her eyes almost popped out of its sockets. "Can this day get any worse!" her brain screams at the scene in front of her.
In the middle of the room standing face to face with each other, looking ready to kill each other was Jonah and Nate. And standing right in between them was a tiny female that looks similar to Jonah, Mindy recognize as Lillie, Jonah's sister. "What the fuck is going on here?...."

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
