"Exactly. Something big to hide and I never knew about it. I always took it in my mind that my husband is loyal to me but I forgot that in such big business, no one is loyal to anyone. Who was I? Just a maid of the house or the mistress, the queen but I was never given the love."

Anna saw the sadness in her eyes. She was very much unhappy in that lifestyle but never said this to anyone else.

"There were restrictions for me when I have to speak when I don't. Even when my son left the house, I wasn't able to speak a single word against David despite knowing that David was the one who did wrong. I never gave Alex and Scott the love they deserved. But after David's death, I wished to be a happy mother who will raise her children and have some quality time as well."

Anna kept her hands over Klara's and pressed it to pass her some assurance and remind her that she is right here if she needs her help. Now, Anna could relate to Klara. She was married when Klara was only eighteen, just attaining the age of marriage.

No information about society and people, and this made her always follow her husband's step which was told to her as an obedient person. In the middle, she actually forgot that she has her own voice, her own mind, and her own heart. Not everyone who David makes his enemy are her enemies.

Even when she wanted to just go to her children, she wasn't able to and stopped at in the middle, thinking what will David say to them?

David was her world but in that world, she actually forgot her own imagination, her own happiness which weren't with David. She could see that Klara waited. She waited him to see her as his wife, a proper wife and give her the love she deserved but that never happened with him.

He still stayed in dark, breaking her trust million of times!

"I never knew that..you were treated in this way in the house. I always talked and thought that you were given full respect and had full freedom." Indeed, no one made her think about Klara in such away.

Each and every servant of the household gave her respect and addressed her as the Elder madam of the household. but she was still sad. Why?

Klara looked into Anna's eyes when she replied, "Until Chris's death, I always thought I lost my one child and my husband. But you know what the reality is? I never lost my children. My children are there with me, but it was David who lost his mistress's child, whom he declared to be my son."

Shock and surprise were written all over Anna's face. She moved her hand back when she listened to her words and a frown appeared on her face. "What do you mean? Chris wasn't your son?"

A smirk came over Klara's lips, when she heard Anna's question, "Have you seen my children behaving in such a way? yes, they are David's kids but have you seen them being so cruel and killing people without any reason? They have goodness in them. The business world made them in this way but some people are always having a black heart."

At this point, Klara took Anna's hand and brought her out on the balcony where a cold breeze was blowing. When Anna noticed that it was going to be a student soon, she was ready to call back Alex and Kiara but Klara interrupted her, "They are safe do not worry."

"But Alex has no experience how to handle kids.." she forgot that he was the one who had brought up Scott as well.

Klara replied back, "He is her father and will protect her with his own life. You need not worry about this at all. Nothing will happen to them and let me just tell you about something.."

Anna was ready to listen and Klara continued, "I was pregnant and when I went into the labor room, my child was born lifeless. I was told that my child is kept under observation and I Can't see him, even when he was dead already but I was not told about this."

Anna's heart ached suddenly. her child was born lifeless? What an experience would it have been for her? But she was not told. She got to know this after Chris died and this was even more heartbreaking for her.

"After two days, I was given back to my child. I saw him and took him in my arms and instantly I fell in love with the small human being...But David looked worried. I tried talking to him but he refused and said it was work pressure. But the reality was, the child wasn't my child but his mistress child who had given birth just five days before me."

Droplets were formed into her eyes but she tried to control them. It wasn't easy for her to accept that the child she raised for so long was never her child. Her child, the fetus she carried in her stomach was already dead long before.

And David cheated her with her child and trust. She raised his children but he actually tried to use her children as his pawn!

Anna hugged her from the side of the console. She was also a mother and she can't even imagine what Klara might have gone through when she got to know that Chris was never her child. She only had Alex and Scott as her child who got away from her because of Chris!

"Mrs. Steve.... I can't understand your pain much but I can understand how it feels to be away from your child. Kiara was kidnapped a few days and weeks ago, I almost felt that my soul left me. My friend's child was traded and hasn't been found till yet, and she is still under trauma.. we don't' know what you have gone through Mrs. Steve but you are just too brave to handle it."

Anna's words were spoken from her heart. She really felt that this was surely needed. Alex and Scott both cracked for some other love and they weren't able to get it just because of a mistress's son.

"But why did David hide it from you? I mean you had no clue that everything happens then how do you got to know this later?" Anna knew that David was a clever man. If he could exchange the children then for sure, he won't have left any proof to know that Chris wasn't Klara's child.

Klara just smiled, "My father-in-law told me when he did an investigation. When Chris grew up, he started going into wrongdoings and this made Father in law even more alerted. For this reason, he always favored Alex and Scott, not Chris.."

She stopped in the middle and then faced Anna, with her serious expressions, "You Don't have to feel guilty for killing Chris.."
