Dean started to narrate the story of Cecile and her ordeal. He paused at many points and even felt at loss of words, though Big Bro Ryu had already written everything in the paper provided, but even his emotions were at a roller coaster ride all the way till the end of the story. Ryu was very emotional and tears almost on the brink of falling many a times while Dean narrated the whole thing, but then he had to be strong...
Even all the housemates were silent. Most of them knew the Kens personally, they could have never imagined that the Lady of the Ken house could have such a traumatic past. This story was actually a kind of revelation, a shocking one, that could break people"s heart.
Almost all housemates were engrossed in the story Dean narrated, even after all others had finished with their stories, they still couldn"t stop exchanging opinions on things after the "Tell Me Your Story" challenge.
"Oh… about Dean"s story, that"s too tragic. I can"t believe Ryu"s mom had experienced something like that." Rui murmured. He had a chance to meet Ryu"s mom in parties and he truly admired how well she stood up after those hideous things that came her way. At least, she did obtain the happiness she deserved in the end.
"Yes and she deserves to be happy and have a good life. Thank goodness, Ryu"s dad was always there," Xian added who admired how Mr. Karl Ken had deep feelings for someone who loved someone else deeply. Mr. Karl Ken was a very nice person with a beautiful soul, he was someone who was contented to see the one he loved, live happily with someone else. He was really a great man to be patient with the woman he loved and waited for her till her heart was healed and then marry him finally, because most of the people would not do the same.
"It"s a scandal.. I"m sure once the scene of Dean narrating this story airs on television, the media will hara.s.s the Ken household. If I"m Ryu I should have kept something like this between families only. People are scary especially the media, it gives a negative angle to even the best things around and this is all about the past of a prestigious lady of a renowned family. This could be disastrous for their family image and even can have emotional implications on Mrs. Ken due to the media." Gabby commented.
"I think, it will be positive... Only stupid, abnormal and imbecile people will judge the Kens negatively." Denver answered with a heavy voice. He too was shocked but he could not hide his admiration for Ryu"s parents. Dean was right, it was really a great love story and who would have thought that a powerful and big family like the Kens had hidden something like this in their closet...
Ryu and Dean sighed… Gaby was right, this things should be kept by their family alone but probably if the circ.u.mstances were a little different and they could easily approach the brother they were trying to bring back with them. A brother, whose existence was unknown even by their mother, who had lived a life full of tortures and hatred… they all wanted to embrace him and give him all the love that he deserved from the first day of his birth...
Because of the circ.u.mstances that brother was misled and told a different story about his parents. They have an enemy who wanted to bring their family down so it"s best that this thing came from them first before the Old Man Skull does something too extreme to make a twisted story putting the Kens in bad light, far from reality and made them look bad in the end.
Bernard who was in deep thought suddenly spoke, "I"m sorry Ryu but something is really bothering me. Pardon me for asking this stupid question, I mean your older brother who died. Have your parents tried to check if he was your dads son and not of those rapists? Didn"t you all get curious at all to find out if he is a Ken"s blood?"
"G.o.d Bernard is that even important when the baby died?" Luke commented in horror.
Most housemates agreed with Luke with their murmuring.
Bernard pouted his lips, "Yeah… the baby is dead but if I was in Ryu"s dad"s shoes, I would still be curious to know if the baby is mine or not… Well that"s only me and my opinion anyway."
Everyone was still busy discussing things on the same topic in the living room except for Shawn who remained silent and blank.
Ryu and Dean could not tell what was going on in Shawn"s mind right now. It was also hard to have private communication, so most of the time they ended up looking and talking through each other"s eyes. So far they could read what"s in each other"s head...
Shawn never said a word at all.
Ryu said, "At first when dad came to know about all that happened with mom he was himself so sad for a whole month that he couldn"t even talk to mom about it. But had he known about the existence of the child, irrespective of the DNA he would carry, he would still be a Ken"s son no matter what. My dad is not such a shallow minded person to not love a baby if he is not your own blood.
Ryu looked at Dean and gave him the signal to proceed with their next plan.
Dean sighed and then spoke, "But the truth is, we came to know just recently that the baby who died and buried was not at all Auntie"s child. That baby was not the child she gave birth to..."
"What?" All the housemates gasped.
"Wait? What"s going on in here? Are you saying that the baby is alive? Ryu"s brother is alive?" Denver blurted out.
All eyes were on Dean as they waited for the next revelation. They were all curious to know because the suspense hanging in the air right now was like in the dramas their mothers often watched. The Ken family was very powerful and informations like this intrigued each of them.
...
Inside one room where the production team was stationed to monitor everything inside the house were all in chaos.
"Call the Chairman of Mountain Peak!" Bernard"s dad, the Chairman of Cooper Entertainment, shouted.
The Kens had revealed something private and scandalous. He was contemplating if he should air this scene for tomorrow"s show or not. This could bring a chaos in the business world as well as in their family. So he decided to call for a meeting with Elder Ken, the Chairman of RK Summit Inc. Group of Companies.
It was a sensitive issue and it would be best if they discussed the matter with concerning parties involved. Of all the things he would want was to get on the bad side of the Elder Ken of the Kens household.
