Chapter 51: Family Fiasco and Fainting Chasity’s POV 

Doctor Jardine was a psychiatrist and a psychologist. She sat across from all of us on a mint green chair. The wallpaper in her office was an abstract swirl of pastel colours that made me feel woozy. I was sandwiched between Calix and Alex with Felix nervously glancing at me every few seconds from where he sat on Alex’s other side. We occupied the pastel blue couch. The pastel pink one on our right housed my mother, father and Grandpa Chance. The muted yellow couch on our left was where Ronnie and Romeo sat. Ronnie was sitting cross-legged and was jiggling her top leg nervously. Her Louis Vuitton was in danger of flying off and having its heel enter the wallpaper like a throwing dart.

“So we’re all here to iron out any old grudges and seek a greater level of harmony within this family,” said Jardine.

“Yes,” I responded quickly My father cleared his throat. Ronnie huffed. “Who would like to start?” Asked Dr Jardine. “I would,” said Felix unsurprisingly. I smiled at him and he winked.

“Chasity is my mate, my Luna, the mother of my…our…heirs. But that’s now. Before Chasity turned eighteen, she wasn’t a part of the family. She shares a birthday with us triplets by the way but my parents chose not to celebrate hers,” Felix said, seemingly angry and ashamed at the same time.

Ronnie fidgeted in her chair. My father growled a little but my mother shushed him.

“She came to us when she was nine. My brothers and I were twelve. She was tearful and distraught most days and my parents.. they made it worse. I make no excuses for myself. I was a bully. A little jerk but my parents were adults. Chasity was just a child, no birthday or Christmas presents, only permitted to have donated clothes or hand-me-downs. She couldn’t eat meals with us. She cooked. She cleaned. She was like a little maid. I’m not sure why we even expected her to ever be in a good mood. We had no right to consider her sullen. What did she have to be happy about? Nothing. And what was the point of my parents treating her so… subpar?” Felix mused more to himself than everyone else.

My father was seething, taking deep breaths, while my mother clutched his hand tightly.

“We didn’t get presents for Chasity. She did get hand-me-downs. Forgive me but she was treated as though unwanted because she was unwanted,” said Romeo. My father rushed to get up but my mother and Grandpa Chance held him back.

“It’s true!” Said Romeo defiantly. You dropped her off!” Snarled Romeo. My father sat back down.
