Broken

The car didn't stop until it was driven into the underground park of Palatial Suite. Jeff was nervous and didn't speak throughout but the man who came to pick him up didn't stop speaking. He kept talking about himself but actually forgot to mention his name.

"We are here!"

Jeff stared nervously at the exquisite underground park when he got out of the car. He still didn't understand what was going on but this man whose name he didn't know explained some things when Jeff asked if his so-called family was richer than the Hemsworth.

"Yes, your family is richer."

The man's answer was short but it eased Jeff's mind a little.

"Ah! I forgot to mention my name to you. I'm Christian by name but you can call me Chris."

"Oh okay, Chris" Jeff answered and couldn't help being nervous.

Chris escorted him into the Palatial Suite, one of the most expensive in the city.

In fact, Jeff had been here before years ago. It was Edward's fourteenth birthday then and a banquet was held here. When Jeff got here that day, he was sent back because the clothes he wore were too shabby.

Recalling all his past experiences, Jeff felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He was too easy to control and bully but he didn't mind it.

However, he realized a lot of things when he was suddenly called a fake son in front of the people who attended his birthday banquet. They made him look like a loser in front of Tonia, his fiancée, and even made it clear that someone like him didn't deserve her.

He was a fool for relenting on them too much.

"Young Master, we are here" Chris's voice jerked him out of his thoughts.

He still wasn't used to 'Young Master'. So he politely told Chris to call him by his name.

"Okay! Young Master Jeff!" Chris teased.

"Just Jeff is okay" Jeff smiled awkwardly.

They were in front of a door in the VVIP section.

Chris knocked on the door before pushing the door open.

"We are here, Old Master Malfoy" Chris bowed his head when they entered.

An Old Man was seated in one of the arranged chairs in the room. His gloomy eyes lit up when he saw Jeff and he stood up from his chair.

"Is that you, Jeff? You look so much like your Father" The Old man's wrinkled face was full of joy.

"I'm Jeff, sir" Jeff replied maladroitly, a fake and nervous smile on his lips.

"Silly, just call me Grandfather!" Old Master Malfoy pushed Jeff to sit before turning to Chris who was grinning ear to ear. "Why didn't you take Jeff to get a change of clothes? Those Hemsworth family didn't take good care of my grandson."

After reprimanding Chris for a minute, Old Master asked if Jeff was hungry.

Jeff was really hungry, he didn't eat throughout yesterday, and today. He didn't even have time to think about food. His stomach tingled lightly at the mention of food and he nodded his head.

In less than two minutes, the room was filled with the aroma of different delicacies. Jeff ate to the fullest but didn't forget his etiquette.

He lived as a fake young master of the Hemsworth family for over Fifteen years, it would be quite depressing if he forgot all the etiquette lessons he took.

"Thank you so much" Jeff expressed his gratitude.

The room was silent after Jeff finished eating. He raised his head to look at the Old Master and he caught sight of him looking at him with guilt.

"Old Master" Jeff decided to call the Old Man this till he resolved the curiosity in his heart. "Are you really my family? If yes, why didn't you look for me after all these years? I just celebrated my 19th birthday but didn't know I had a grandpa or a Father."

Jeff made sure he didn't sound pitiful, no, he wanted to know the reason why he had to live in that hell of a house for so many years when he had a family who had a limited expensive car.

"Jeff" The old man called, his eyes solemn. "Your Father and Mother had a relationship in the past but it ended quite tragically. Your Mother didn't inform anyone that she was pregnant but ever since she left your Father, we've not heard of her. It seems that she also had a relationship with the first son of Mrs. Hemsworth. Your Mother actually told the first son that the baby was his and when she gave birth to you, she dropped you in the Hemsworth's mansion and never came back."

Old Lady Hemsworth was a willy individual and wasn't happy when a baby was brought into the family. So she went behind his son's back and did a DNA test. The test confirmed that young Jeff was not part of their family.

"Your Father found out about this and didn't hesitate to get you back. Don't feel like an outsider but if you are still unsure, a test can be run" Old Master added.

Jeff stared blankly and for a moment, he seemed to remember something. He once heard Edward's Father who was also Old Lady‘s first son discussing something with his wife, Edward's Mother. The discussion led to an argument.

However, Jeff could still recall the words spoken by Edward's Mother that day.

"You had an affair with Rebecca when we were already engaged. I didn't blame you then, but now my son has to put up with someone else's son? Do something and act like a real father, Emmanuel Hemsworth!

Those were the words spoken by Edward's Mother that day. Jeff didn't know it had something to do with him then.

"What is my Mother's name?" Jeff asked the Old Man who looked surprised by his question.

"Rebecca, her name is Rebecca Carter" The Old Master replied.

No wonder Edward's Father was more nice to him than the other family members, Jeff thought. He didn't know he had a Mother because no one mentioned it to him. They only told him he was taken in by them when he was abandoned.

Jeff didn't say much after the Old Master's reply. The heavens took pity on him when he was in a vulnerable position, he wouldn't ruin himself by being hardheaded.

Old Master Malfoy told him many things and asked so many questions from him.

When it was four in the evening, Chris drove them to the Old Master's Villa in Arty City.

Apparently, the old man was in Arty City for a vacation. All the other family members inhabited the capital city of New Zinland, Starry City.

Jeff didn't have any problem after discussing with the Old Man for a day. Dinner was served early and when he was being escorted to his room by Chris, his phone lit up.

Jeff's blank eyes lit up in surprise and for a minute, he thought he was dreaming.

It was a message from his fiancée.

Tonia: Hi, Jeff. I heard you left the Hemsworth family. If you are still in Arty City, can we meet up?

Jeff typed back, ignoring Chris who looked surprised. He didn't know the young master had someone he liked.

Jeff: Yes, send me the address. I will come and meet you.

Some seconds later, Tonia sent the address.

Jeff was so happy, he could feel his tense heart beating dramatically. He couldn't believe Tonia messaged him first.

It has never happened before.

"Chris, can you please take me to this address? I want to see a friend."

Thirty minutes later, Jeff entered the classy bar. He could hear the soft music playing and the scent of alcohol wafted his nose. He glanced around looking for Tonia but shockingly, his eyes met with a pair of annoying brown eyes.

The brown eyes were too familiar.

Jeff couldn't be more surprised when he saw Edward in the bar. He shifted his gaze to the Lady on Edward's lap.

Wavy brown hair and cute appearance... It was his fiancée, Tonia.

Jeff stood rooted to his spot, feeling foolish for falling into Edward's trap again. Before he could move, he saw Edward pull Tonia forward before the latter took the initiative to start a French kiss. They kissed for over two minutes while Jeff stood still, watching them with his blood boiling with anger.

He dashed towards them and grabbed Edward's collar while pushing Tonia off him.

"You jerk!"

"Je... Jeff" Tonia said crookedly, blinking her eyes repeatedly to confirm the scene in front of her. Realizing the situation, she got in between them. "Leave him alone! Don't touch my boyfriend" She said decisively, her eyes glaring at Jeff maliciously.

Jeff let go of Edward and his body went limp immediately.

"We've been dating for a while now, brother. She doesn't have feelings for a fake son with no future" Edward said coyly, straightening his rumpled shirt. He faced Tonia and said, "Tell him what he's to you."

Letting down a deep breath, Tonia's eyes turned cold as her eyes met with Jeff's eyes.

"I've never loved you and our engagement agreement was solely because of your own selfish reasons. I'm not engaged to you anymore and my family agrees to this since you don't are not even a Hemsworth."

Each of her words ground out, hitting right at Jeff's heart. The words pierced his heart and it became impossible to cry.

The tears didn't come.

He turned around and left the bar with determination flashing across his face. Edward really went far this time and he's going to give him a taste of his own medicine.
