The Billionaire's Cursed Heiress
Chapter 28: THIRD BROTHER/FOURTH SISTER

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: THIRD BROTHER/FOURTH SISTER

"Are you sure that you really want to know?" Demel asked once again as he looked at the sister, who made him feel very complicated.

Ashely gritted her teeth as she looked at her brother.

"Since it has something to do with Fifth, then just tell me. I am sick and tired of being labeled the bad guy here. Every time I condemned Fifth’s action, I would be chided and told that I didn’t deserve to treat her like that. Can you just tell me what she did to me or for me that I shouldn’t treat her like that?" Ashely pleaded as her fists were clenched.

The thought of owing Zara more than she already owed didn’t sit well with her.

There was a reason why Ashely felt complicated when she learnt that Zara was PRINCESS, the idol that she loved so much on Teltivity.

And if she were to add that to whatever she didn’t know and was about to know, she didn’t know how she would be able to handle it.

Demel sighed upon hearing Ashely’s words. Just from hearing them, he could tell that Ashley’s bitterness towards Fifth was even greater than all of them.

When she finally learns the truth, how would she fare? Would she be able to take it?

However, before Fifth met her maker, Demel felt that it was time for Ashely to know the truth. That way, if she was going to make amends, she would do it when the other was still alive.

"Fine, I will tell you, but you better promise me one thing!" Demel said as he looked at Ashely solemnly.

When she heard that, Ashely had a bad feeling.

"What is it?"

"No matter what, you should listen to the whole story and not leave halfway. Can you do that?" Demel raised his brows as he asked slyly while looking at her.

Seeing him acting like that, Ashely’s suspicions were confirmed.

There was indeed something more to this story.

However, since she was the desperate one, she had no choice but to agree.

With her agreement, Demel began to reveal the secret that she had been itching to know.

"Ashely, do you remember five years ago?" Demel asked coolly as he leaned on the couch.

When Ashely heard that question, her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at her brother, wondering why he was bringing up that again.

However, since she wanted to know what everyone seemed to be hiding from her, she answered, "Yes, what about it?" with gritted teeth.

"The story starts around that time. When your life was in danger and when all hope was lost. When ..."

As if he was some poet, Demel started speaking poetically, but all Ashely could recall was what she was back then.

Ashely was twenty-eight years old and born to Cade’s second mistress. Her mother Anne successfully found her way into Cade’s bed when Cade was still married to Diana, the second madam, and also Mitchel and Raize’s mother.

When she was born twenty -eight years ago, she wasn’t a female, as most people would think. She was born a male and was the third young master, the third male child of Cade and Demel’s younger brother.

He was named Axton, and all was well, or at least that’s what he thought.

Axton grew up and took most of his mother’s features. Unlike Bradley and Demel, who took their father’s masculinity and charm, he was more feminine.

And to make it worse, his body physique and status made it very difficult for him as he grew up.

Being an illegitimate child was something that would take a toll on people. People would be calling you names and his mother had it worse. Thankfully, Cade was a good father and one who didn’t abandon his responsibilities, so he and his mother grew up well despite his sexual identity challenges.

After being bullied by a few bullies for being feminine, he started to look deeper into himself, and the more he did, the more he realized that he was different.

He really loved being feminine a lot. His mother’s clothes, makeup and so forth. He wanted it all.

He accepted that reality when he was ten years old. However, for the sake of his mother; he didn’t dare expose himself.

When he was seventeen years old, he forcefully came out of the closet after someone sent his father a photo of him making out with his boyfriend of that time.

Although he had done his best to hide his sexual preference, as he didn’t want to disappoint his mother and father, he still was exposed.

At that time, the punishment he suffered was simply too much but at least it wasn’t compared to when he took Zara out only for her to fall into a comma that led to the long-term illness that no one still understood what was really going on.

He took a beating that year, and his allowance was cut. He was forced to break up with his boyfriend and his mother was very disappointed with him.

However, that didn’t make him stop in believing himself. Since he had already been exposed, he might as well just embrace himself openly and be himself.

He was seventeen when he started being a streamer and at that time, he played virtual games with a female account. He would stream his games, earning money and the sort.

Fast forwarding to five years ago. He was finally twenty-three and at that time, he knew who he really was. As much as he was gay, the fact that he was in the wrong body greatly affected him.

His family accepted him for who he was and how he loved being in the spotlight. They allowed him to do what he wanted; however, he knew that it wasn’t enough.

He wanted to walk proudly with his head held high, wearing expensive gowns, heels, makeup, jewelry and having every new bag that came out in his closet.

What he wished for was to become a woman and that was the hardest hurdle that he had ever gone through.

Five years ago, it was an all-out battle with his father. His mother already accepted him, so it was much better on his side, but his father didn’t want to hear about it.

Why should his child transition all of a sudden?
