Chapter 111 - DNA Test
Leia tiredly plopped down on the sofa and relaxed her back.
"So... how do you feel now?" Kiesha turned her head to look at her and asked with a friendly smile on her face.
"Well... pretty much okay, I guess." Leia shrugged and rested her head on the edge of the couch.
"What do you...plan to do now?" Victor, who was, as usual, sitting on the one-man sofa, asked and Leia raised her head to glance at him.
A low sigh escaped her lips, and she clicked her tongue. "I don't know. I am thinking about it. I will see what I will do. " She replied, and Victor nodded at her.
"Um... Leia" Keisha's eyes abruptly dwindled a bit, and she turned to face Leia, who was gazing at her with raised brows. "I just thought of something."
"Huh?" Leia's brow creased in bewilderment, and she stared intently at Kiesha.
"Um... I don't know if it's just me, but... have you ever had, um, a DNA test with your dad?" Kiesha's asked with her brows raised in a questioning manner.
"Err, no..." Leia replied with a confused look on her face and her brow creased. "Why do you ask?"
"I am not sure, but... I have been meaning to ask you about the DNA stuff because...what if Mr. Adolpho is not your real father?" Kiesha's eyes fluttered, and she interlocked her hands together as she spoke.
Leia's eyes blinked as a lost expression made its way to her face. She took a deep breath and slightly shook her head. "That's... not possible."
"I'm not saying it's true but am just assuming. What if he's not your father? I mean, I have been suspecting this since we were in high school."
"Why would you suspect that?" Leia immediately questioned, and her face crinkled in confusion.
"Alright... Since we were in high school, he has never treated you like his daughter, but always found a way to disgrace you, hit and abuse you. Now tell me, for once, has he ever raised his hands at Amy and Jenny? Has he? " Kiesha arched her brow as she asked.
The frown on Leia's face deepened and her eyes fluttered in doubt.
"I know it might seem absurd, but it just doesn't make sense to me. How can a father have three daughters and only love two out of them? It's just impossible!... Okay, let's assume it's possible. Would he hate you to the extent of hitting you without a second thought? Disgracing you then, in front of the whole fucking school! It just doesn't make sense!"
"Even if he hates you, it won't be to that extent. And if he despised all three of you, that would be acceptable, but fuck, he loathes only you and pampered Amy and Jemmy as though they were kids in kindergarten! " Kiesha shook her head and relaxed back on the sofa. "I might be wrong though, but all I am saying is that it won't hurt to have a DNA test. At least if you do... you will know where you stand...."
"Remember how shocked I was to find out that one of the top five richest men in the world was your father? Common, daughter of a billionaire, being treated like trash, so unbelievable. He doesn't give a damn about his image or anything, but he does that to you. Thinking about it now, it's getting more and more sus. " She shrugged, and a low breath left her nose.
Leia's eyes blinked vigorously, and deep doubts began to arise in her heart.
"She's right," The sound of Victor's abrupt voice had her raise her head and turn to stare at him. "You should have a DNA test with your dad. At least find out if the person hurting you this way is your dad or not. "
"This also doesn't make sense to me." James, who was sitting next to Kiesha, chirped in and nodded to Leia."You really should have a DNA test with your dad, because now that we are speaking about it, it's so suspicious."
Leia took a deep breath and bit her lower lips. Yes, even she has her doubts. But doesn't that mean she's doubting her mother? I mean, her mother had told her that Mr. Adolpho was her father when she asked back then because she had doubted he was, considering the way he was treating her.
Would her mother lie to her? There is no way Mr. Adolpho isn't her father, right? Because if he isn't, her mother won't let him treat her that way and even watch him hit her sometimes.
Leia pinched her brow as her mind felt completely blank. So much confusion and doubt. A lot of questions are swirling in her mind.
"Leia... please do not think much about it. It's just a suggestion from us, okay." Kiesha said with a friendly smile on her face when she saw the disturbed look on her face.
"It's okay..." Leia waved her hand at her as she slightly shook her head and took a low, deep breath. "I will think about what you guys said." She turned her head to glance at them, and they nodded at her with smiles on their faces.
"Don't let it bother you much. As Kiesha said, It's just a suggestion, it isn't something to stress over, okay." Victor smiled at her and she nodded in riposte.
....
Leia spent a few more hours more with them and finally bade them goodbye and left the apartment.
She sped down the road at a normal speed and finally slowed down when she arrived near the mansion. Then, carefully drove into the compound and parked the car.
She stepped down and locked it, then made her way into the building.
The moment she walked into the mansion, she mistakenly jammed with Rita, and the tray of food in Rita's hand fell to the floor and the ceramic plates broke into pieces.
Leia glanced at her and the broken plate on the floor, then at her clothing, which was stained with food, and her eyes fluttered vigorously.
Rita's heart instantly skipped a bit, and she took a step back with her fear-filled eyes, staring at Leia. What is going to happen now?
