Reborn to redeem

Jonathan Shaw

Everything was going normal.

Bryan rang the doorbell of the huge mansion as they stood in front of the door.

The door was opened by a old man whom Bryan recognized at one glance this old man was his grandfather's butler he had worked under his grandfather for more than thirty five years this old man's name was David Paul.

"Good evening Young master and Mam , the old  master is waiting for you both in the living room"

"thank you uncle Paul" Bryan said with a smile and entered the mansion with his mother. When they reached the living room there they saw the old man , who was seated comfortably on the sofa with legs crossed very comfortably listening to the old classic music playing on the gramophone on the table beside the sofa his eyes were closed his face was very thin, and he was sitting there leisurely leaning on the sofa just like a king .

"good evening grandpa" Bryan said and his grandpa finally opened his eyes , Bryan's grandpa Jonathan Shaw , had black eyes just like Bryan , his eyes were sharp and cold but when he saw his grandson a daughter-in-law a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes

"come sit " He said

"father how have you been" Sarah Shaw asked

"I am fine child how is your health I heard that you are neglecting your health to the point that Bryan had to take you to the hospital" Jonathan Shaw asked

"Bryan is being a little paranoid father I am perfectly fine" Sarah answered

"but mom its better to be cautious you know" Bryan said

"so Bryan what is it that you wanted to talk about" Bryan's grandpa said

Bryan took a deep breathe and said "grandpa how about we talk after dinner , there is a lot of stuff so we should properly after dinner and then talk"

Bryan's grandfather gave him a glance and agreed

while having dinner a trace of disgust flashed in Bryan's eyes when he saw meat and he immediately asked to take it away

"Bryan why don't you want to eat meat"

"Mom I just don't feel like eating meat ,for now"

Bryan couldn't tell his mother the real reason though, in his last life when that woman evil woman had kept him in asylum and tortured him endlessly ,there was one time when Bryan once again refused to talk and that woman got so angry that she took out a knife and cut a piece of flesh from Bryan's thigh and fed it to him raw.

There were many similar incidents later on so Bryan really doesn't want to eat anymore ,it only reminded him of those horrible memories.

After their peaceful dinner Bryan's grandfather can no longer contain his curiosity and asked him about what he wanted to talk to which Bryan said

"grandpa lets have desert first"

"Bryan son what is it just say it" Sarah Shaw also couldn't wait anymore

Bryan finally sighed and said

"first thing grandpa, mom I am not getting married "

Sarah Shaw and Jonathan Shaw stopped their movements and looked at Bryan , not uttering a single word

"secondly Grandpa , I am and mom are gonna move in to your house" Bryan said , he took a pause and while Bryan's grandfather took a sip of tea while his mother was eagerly waiting for Bryan to continue

"Mom I want you to divorce dad"

Sarah's Shaw who was already looking at with Wide eyes suddenly couldn't believe what he said while Jonathan Shaw choked on his tea

"Bryan what are you talking about son" Bryan's mother said

"Brat have you lost your mind"

Bryan sat their calmly listening to both the elders rant , after some time when he thought that other two were done Bryan took out his phone and played the video of his father and Sophy making out

Jonathan Shaw flew into rage and threw the tea cup on the ground which shattered into pieces Bryan's mother on the other hand had much calmer reaction she didn't feel any anger but she felt disgusted.

"Where is that bastard, that scoundrel waste of oxygen bring him to me I will skin him alive!!!!" Jonathan Shaw yelled and Bryan immediately tried to calm him down

"grandpa calm down I have already taken care of it so don't worry"

"How did you take care of it huh?"

"I sent them away in a safe place together so that they can live together 'peacefully' "

"HAVE YOU MAD KID?!!!, that bastard he needs to be taught a lesson"

"Father calm down lets hear to what Bryan has to say" Sarah Shaw said

Jonathan Shaw took a deep breathe, he had seen Bryan grow ,Jonathan Shaw had raised Bryan and Aron and taught them so many tactics and strategies, he taught them to be kind but not foolish , Jonathan Shaw thought that Bryan would not just simply send Andrew and Sophy away together to love a happy peaceful lives like fairytale and besides Andrew Shaw would never give up the life of luxury for a woman that greedy bastard can never do that.

"Talk " Jonathan Shaw said with

"Grandpa , mother I have kept both of them in captivity "

"But Why Bryan" Sarah Shaw asked

"Mom there is something I want to know and only they can answer my questions"

"what is it " Jonathan asked

Bryan took a deep breathe and gave a look to both the elders

"~~"

After listening to Bryan Sarah Shaw was in tears while Jonathan Shaw looked at him with disbelief

"Bryan son are you sure ," Sarah Shaw asked with a shaky voice

Bryan hugged his mother and gently said : "I am sure mother , trust me"

"Bryan , do you have any idea if you are proven wrong how this will affect us, you that you are giving us a big hope and if that shatters then I don't think I will be able to handle" Jonathan Shaw with a weak voice

"Grandpa, Mum , you both have to trust me on this please I want your full support ; I promise that I won't disappoint you again "

"fine I will support you but if you are proven wrong then-"

"it won't happen" Bryan said in a firm voice

"Bryan I fully trust you ." Sarah Shaw said

"Thanks both of you , now lets go to sleep we have a lot of work to do in coming days and grandpa I will be bothering you in upcoming days"

"I will always be there to help now let us all go get some rest"

After coming back to his room Bryan took a shower and threw his body on the bed feeling exhausted a lot happened today , and this was just the beginning.

Bryan felt the soft bed beneath him , this bed was different from that cold , and hard bed in his last life this bed was warm and soft but even if it was so comfortable Bryan still didn't want to sleep , he was still scared that this was not reality it was just his dream ,his imagination, and once he wakes he will still be in that same old dark ,cold, dirty and smelly room with no windows all alone without any other person in sight in that completely silent room with no other sound except his own breathing  . That small room was like a prison ; for Bryan it was the most horrible place in the world .

Just thinking about it gave him shivers and goosebumps. He quickly got up and proceeded to do work ,that the only thing that he can do to distract himself.

But while he was trying to focus a certain thought  kept him distracted , he might be reborn but he still had those horrible memories with him which are gonna stay with him forever he will never forget them , he knew that his mental state was really not so stable even if he was reborn he felt scared that this might affect his new life , he was scared that if one day he lost control he might go insane and hurt others, he was scared that he would never be the same again.

He will never be normal again.
