Chaotic Resemblance Chapter 21
It had been a simple plan. Go back to the room with Lisa and have fun, or at the very least forget a certain someone.That plan was one Nathan hadn’t thought about properly. Even as they two wandered in the dark as he tried the light switch he knew he was making a mistake.When he finally found it at the far end of the wall he was ready to get rid of Lisa. But the alcohol had a strong hold on him that he wasn’t strong enough to escape.“Nice room you have here,” Lisa said, making her way to the window and sighing when she saw it had the perfect view to the ocean. “It’s definitely bigger than mine by a double.”Nathan nodded absentmindedly as he stared at her, wishing it was Jane standing there instead. He didn’t understand exactly what it was about her that drew him in.The image of Jane holding onto those strong male hands flew back into his head and he cussed out not even realizing he had said it out loud. Heck if Jane was going to have company this night then he had every right to.

It takes a while for me to process what Damien said. My head starts to throb and I feel dizzy, needing to rest on the table to keep my weight up.I feel Lisa come up beside me, her stance worried as she watched me listen to Damien over the phone.“Jonas said they got in late but she insisted on going out to get some fresh air, she hasn’t been back since then,” Damien continued.Nathan saw sparks. “Who the hell is Jonas and why are they together?” he barked, his hand tightening around the phone. Lisa reached over and loosening his grip on it with a soothing smile.“The guy from earlier, the one she came to the resort with,” Damien answered, paused, then continued. “She was going to introduce you too but you left before she could come over and say hi.”Jonas or whatever his name was called, Nathan decided he despised the guy and was going to snap him into two whenever he was within reach.“Have you notified the management so they can call a search party or something,” Nathan said, alre

In every outcome Nathan had thought of his venturing to see Jane, he hadn’t thought it would go like this.With her kissing him like her life depended on it and him drinking and tasting every bit of her that he could. He wasn’t sure what the kiss meant for them, but for him it meant the possibility that they still had a chance to be together.Wrapped in her own desires Jane couldn’t control the way her body responded to his, like she has been thirsty for a long time and he was the only water that could cure her.It took only a second when they broke off to come up for air for her to realize her foolishness of letting him know how much he affected him.Without thinking she pushed him away and took a step back. “What do you think you’re doing?” she asked, eyes still glazed over from the kiss- Nathan could see that much.“We just kissed Jane, it’s exactly what it looks like,” Nathan replied, struggling to keep himself from pulling her back into his arms where he belonged. This was not th

The tears of a woman are the most melancholic feelings Nathan had ever encountered. It wasn’t a pleasant sight and it didn’t bring him satisfaction.He watched her hand quiver on the door knob, no doubt wishing that the door will open immediately and put up the wall that existed between them.Nathan knew he had to make it right somehow in this very moment. She was vulnerable to her feelings now, plus her boyfriend wasn’t anywhere near to influence her decisions.If he was right then he’ll probably be asleep considering the fact he was yet to open the door and he hadn’t bothered to come look for her. “Jane,” he tried again, this time letting the frustration he felt to seep into his voice. “Can you listen to me for a second.”She sniffed, barely hearing him speak over the thundering in her ears and her sniffing. “I don’t like it when you cry, it breaks my heart,” he said, wiping the fresh tears that currently coated her eyes. “I hate to see you cry.”Nathan was never one to consider h

The first he had felt in the kiss with Jane was absent but Lisa was warm all the same. Well enough to stir a certain need in him that Jane had started.He didn’t want to let his mind wander because he knew he would think then that Jane was currently in her lover’s arms, being held, touched, and the worst of it all was- that lover wasn’t Nathan.Instead of letting the sudden pang of hurt he felt consume him, he deepened the kiss with Lisa, pulling her even closer so there wasn’t an atom of space between them. Hands roaming her grabbed her ass and pulled her up to him.Lisa wasn’t one to complain if she was being kissed like this. She knew that she wasn’t who he wanted to be with, but she was the one he came back to and that was all that mattered.When she had flown to the resort for the weekend while sporting a fresh heartbreak she didn’t think she’ll see someone as hot as the man currently groping her.And the icing on the cake? He looked exactly like her Lucas. When she had seen thos

Her words hammered in his head and heart. Lisa could be right that he was scared of his feelings, maybe deep down he really feared that it would end up destroying them both because he had the ability of blowing things out of proportion.“I guess you can say that,” he admitted which surprised them both. “I’m afraid that I’ll let my feelings take over and ruin us both like I previously did. I think it’ll always be a constant fear, especially with that nagging voice at one corner of my mind.”Lisa wanted to chastise him. Did he not see the great guy that she currently saw in front of her.She wished she could throw him up and let him fall head first to the floor if that is what it will take for him to realize how precious he truly was.Taking his hand she squeezed it. “I’ve not know you a long time so I’ll understand if you don’t trust my judgement but all I can say is this, you’re awesome Nathan, you’re hot. And to top it all you’re a good person. It might not seem like that to you at t

Lisa was the first to wake up, and out of sheer habit she placed a kiss on Nathan’s cheek and stood up for a stretch. Now that the alcohol in her system was long gone her head was clearer now.She had spent the night with a stranger that looked exactly like her ex lover. The thought alone should make her sick but instead she revved in the joy it gave her. She had somehow gotten her lover back even if it wasn’t the exact one that she had met in the beginning.All that didn’t matter if they made her feel the same. She chuckled silently to herself as she began to pick up their glasses and empty bottle of wine. It must be the afterglow of their night together that had her light on her feet, or she could blame it on the remnants of wine that was probably still on her system. “This vacation might be the best thing yet,” she muttered to herself as she rinsed off the glasses. She picked their clothes off the floor and was about dumping them in the laundry bag when the doorbell rang. Maki

Breakfast was supposed to be a private affair with everyone he cared about, but as Damien saw the plus one hanging off Nathan’s arm he knew there was bound to be trouble.Despite Lauren’s warning to stay off their situation Damien didn’t want to stay at the sidelines and watch his best friend ruin a relationship that was bound form between him and Jane.It was easy to deny his feelings but Damien knew better for he had been in those shoes before. The way Nathan had sprang off when Jane joined them on the beach with her brother. Nathan was clearly losing his touch if he couldn’t see that Jane was only trying to make him jealous whilst using her brother, it was epic fail because anyone looking close enough could sense the sibling bond between them. They acted nothin like lovers.Damien blamed Nathan’s lack of judgement on his feelings, he was often too blinded by it.It hurt to leave the smile on his face plastered there but he managed anyway. “Hello dear,” he said and shook Lisa’s ha

Jenny is still in bed sleeping when I finally get up. Drew left a few minutes ago with the drive, he’s going to turn Father in. He had insisted I remain at home with Jenny while he handles it.While I trust Drew fully, I can’t help the feeling of unease that has taken root in my stomach. The door bell rings on my way downstairs to figure out what Jenny will eat when she wakes up.I open the door. “Did you forget something?”When there’s no answer from Drew I look up and realize he’s not the one at the door. It’s Daisy.“Hey, come in,” I tell her, moving to the kitchen. Does she have the mother thing that alerted her that I’m taking her child away? I pull out a bottle of liquor from stash, carrying a glass with it. If I can get her tipsy enough she wouldn’t even worry about Jenny, and we can all be on our way.Besides it’s not like she cared enough for Jenny, I don’t even want to imagine where she’s going to leave her once I’m up and gone.That seals my decision to have Jenny come with
Chaotic Resemblance Chapter 59
My face is pressed to the window the entire home. I realize how much I’ve missed home when we pull into the driveway.It has become some sort of sanctuary for me, a place where I can have peace and love. Drew helps me out of the car, holding my hand as he leads me to the door.The minute he opens the door Jenny comes running towards me, like she has been waiting the entire time. She hugs my waist like her life depends on it. I put my hand around her shoulders and keep her close to me.“Are you alright mummy?” she asks softly, gazing at me with her round cute eyes.I push her hair away from her face. “I’m alright princess, did you miss me?”It was a silly question to ask because her answer could be seen from miles away.“Of course I did,” she says with a pout. “I missed Jakey too, how is he?”I rub the little one so he does not feel excluded from our conversation. “He’s alright, he misses you too,” I tell her. That sits good with her because she beams up at me and then looks at my stom

My breath slows down as I watch him fall to the floor with a thud. In a minute I’m sprinting to his side and shaking him to wake up.I look around but there’s no one to help me. Taking his face in my hands I shake him again. “Drew! Wake up! Have you had so much to drink?” I ask him despite knowing he can’t hear him.Bending towards him I smell his breath, it was clear. Then why would- The wine, that was the last thing I saw him take, and he was being weird about it.Could the wine have been- I’m too afraid to admit what my brain already knew. He must’ve know too that the wine was poisoned and he readily took it from me and drank. That was why father looked furious.Uh Oh, Father knows.I look back to the door, half expecting Father to walk through it. I look back to Drew he was already turning a little too pale.“Why did you have to drink it?” I ask him, exasperated. “You should have thrown it away,” I cry.I don’t think I’ve ever felt this helpless before. My purse is in there with J
Chaotic Resemblance Chapter 57
There’s no a single explanation my mind can conjure for what happened. Every time I think I have it all figured out, another wall comes crashing into me.Does he not want to return because of me? Then what of Jenny? She misses him and he clearly misses her too, seeing how he risked coming to the park just to get a glimpse of her.My head is beginning to ache and the doubt that it was actually him begin to slip into the cracks of my mind.Drew could be right and I was just imagining him. If that was the case then my mind is daring very vivid, because the longing and worry I saw in his eyes couldn’t have been easily conjured with so much emotion attached to them.My entire body trembles as I exhale. In all of this I’m glad I reacted on time to my fall, otherwise Jakey could’ve been hurt and all for nothing at that. Keeping him means so much to me than going after what could possibly be Don’s look alike.I massage my forehead, the discomfort in there bordering on being unbearable. The As
Chaotic Resemblance Chapter 56
I don’t come downstairs until the doorbell rings. I’ve done a pretty good job of avoiding Jenny and now I was going to risk running into her.The entire house is quiet when I come down, she must be taking a nap. For some reason I tiptoe to the door and stifle a startle when I open the door to a rather grumpy looking Dr. Shelby.All since I’ve know him, he’s always smiling, patient. There was this airiness that surrounded him, it always made you feel at ease with him. But all that is left now are deep frown lines of his face and I hate to be the reason for it.“How did you think drinking while being pregnant was a good idea?” he asks the moment he steps past the threshold. “Why keep a child you’re not going to take proper care of?”My breath seizes in my lung. With a slight tilt to my head I study his expression. His eyes are accusing as the glares at me. This right here is not Dr. Shelby. Someone has taken him and put in place this angry version that I’m not used to.If anything I fee

It’s my first day as Cassie. Like I think she does every morning, I’m sitting in front of the dresser and struggling to put on makeup.I don’t know how Cassie used to do it, the perfect flawless look she always had whenever I saw her.I can’t even tell which comes first, I’m holding a small bottle that has foundation written on it but I have no idea how to get it on my face.How they hell was she able to use all this stuff? I throw the brush in front of me on the floor. At this rate I’m never going to leave the house.I hear Drew as he comes into the room. “What’s the matter?” he asks.I frown when I turn and see him with only a towel wrapped around his waist.“Carrie?”That brings my attention back to him. I force my gaze back up and glare at him. “I told you to call me Cassie, we can’t have you slipping up like this when we leave the house.”He scratches his chin lightly. “How about I give you a pet name, it’s only natural since we’re supposed to be married. It feels awkward calling
Chaotic Resemblance Chapter 54
Everyday that I see the sun rise is torture to my soul. Every morning that I wake up without Don by my side tears my heart into a million pieces.I don’t know where life ends and where death starts. They’ve both become the same to me. It has made me prisoner in this dark perilous place called my mind. I sit by the window every night and wait for the morning never breaks, but that even is too much to ask.This is my own hell. This is my own home.There’s nothing on the news about the explosion. If I hadn’t been there myself I wouldn’t even believe that it happened.No bodies have been found. That is both my hope and my nightmare. Two long months of emptiness and guilt, that is my punishment.What if he’s really gone? What if he didn’t survive? No one would be alive and stay hidden for that long. What if he’s out there looking for me?I deflate at that. The chances are unlikely, especially after the way we parted. I should have held onto him a little longer, laced his fingers with mine
Chaotic Resemblance Chapter 53
I light a cigar immediately as I enter the elevator and puff with a sigh. Home is a place where everyone longs to be. A sanctuary, some would say but it isn’t the same for me. It’s the last place I want to be.I loosen my tie as I get into the car. “Take the longer route,” I tell my driver when he gets in. There’s a hum and I know he heard me. Like every other employee he knows not to speak to me because there was no telling what my reaction would be. To them, I'm the hot-headed son with a short temper. It looks like only Karl didn’t get the memo after he was hired.Now that my mind has wandered back to him, I pull out my phone and put a call through to HR. When Thelma connects the call, I ask her to send me all the files on Karl and everything he submitted during his employment process. It would be on my desk first thing in the morning.I take another puff as the car rolls down the road. It’s going at a perfect pace for me. Not slow but also not fast enough to get me home earlier tha
Chaotic Resemblance Chapter 52
It’s been five minutes since I broke into my house and another two since I made it up the stairs to my bedroom.The only sound I hear as I move through the house is my heavy breathing. I half expect someone to jump out of the shadows but there’s no one.I stand still in front of my door, my hand in the air, mid-way to the knob. I’m not sure what to expect after ten years. Did they move my things out or did they simply ignore the room like they always ignored me?The silence drowns out my thoughts as I recall what I’m here for. Get the drive and be gone before anyone comes back.With a gulp, I push the door open and switch on the lights. When my eyes adjust to the room I see that everything is exactly where it used to be. My favorite teddy bear that Thomas bought me when I was five is still lying against the side of my bed. Even my books are still all over the floor from when Cassie barged into my room the day before our last birthday together and demanded that I give her my toys to pl
