Chapter 58 – Amanda
We went to a newly opened restaurant in Northbay named The Duchess. Leon was now working there so we easily made a reservation.
When we arrived, a lot of people including the media were there.
"Why are there so many people?" I asked.
"They're waiting for you miss." Ken answered.
"Me? Why?"
"It seems the conference made you famous baby." Luke said in between his kisses on my neck. "Let's talk about it inside. I'm starving and I might eat you." He teased me.
Before we got out of the car, our security team formed a line so no one could get closer to us. I was surprised that there were actually around 40-50 bodyg
"What?" I asked. "You're really good, Alora. Somehow your words gave people hope. I'm battling with depression and this is the first time I feel like I can overcome this." Amanda said. "You can stay with us!" I offered. Jayden suddenly laughed. "Don't get me wrong. I'm also a freeloader in that house but I pity the guy next to you. Your lovey dovey days will lessen. Your soon to be wife will be so busy training with Hoseki and as a support to others." Luke glared at him. "Anything for her. I don't care. Plus if she agrees, I will also make you attend and speak to one of the invitations." Amanda got confused even more. "Jayden has a split personality but only the boys know ab
"Why? What happened to Cassandra?" Peggy asked. "Let Leon tell you when he's ready." Luke said. "It's okay Leon." I said. "Thank you." He said. The others respected his decision and didn't ask further. "So? What do you think?" Luke asked again. "Can I ask what job it is?" He asked. "Alora's secretary. You'll manage her schedule from now on and accompany her in every event and meeting." Luke simply said. "Are you sure you want me to be with her all the time? You know I'm in love with your fiance. Are you not worried I will betray you." Leon directly said.
"Are you sure you're okay with Leon being with me most of the time?" I asked Luke. We're on our way to the orphanage to pick up Zoey. "It's fine. And I think it's better to keep him close. If his mother knew he was working with us, I think she'd contact him. Don't worry. I promise I'll protect you this time." Luke said seriously. "I know. I'm not worried about that. But thank you." I said then kissed him on the cheek. We were greeted by the Administrator of the orphanage and guided us to the office. "We're so happy to finally meet both of you." She said. We didn't understand so me and Luke glanced at each other. The Administrator chuckled. "We watched your engagement a
After our steamy make out session, we laid on the bed naked, still cuddling each other. "Hon, I'm worried about Leon's mother. I know we've been searching for her but now that we know who she is, I suddenly felt scared." I confessed. Although Camila's resolve is different from mine and she'll be the one to take revenge on her, something's still bothering me. "It's normal to feel that way. I'm scared too. But not to her, I'm scared that something might happen to you. I don't want you to get hurt. That's why I'm doing everything I can to protect you." He said while staring at the ceiling. "I know. I'm really glad we're together now and had our second chance. Let's not talk about it for now. I know you'll find something about her eventually." I smiled to at least lessen his worries.
LUKE POV I was in a meeting when I received a text message from Alora. 'Beep' I smiled. But when I read her text, I frowned. Baby: Jerk someone's following us. Get your ass here now! From the construction of the message, I know it's Camila. And if she switched, something bad might happen. I was about to stand when the door swung open. It was Percy panting, followed by Jayden and Andrew. "I know. Camila sent me a message. They're with a security team but they'll feel safer if we go there. So let's go!" I said calmly. I called Leon to ask him about the situation. He said the security team was already lined up in front of Azalea af
With the power of the Wilson's and the Jackson's, the matter was not publicised. Luke didn't want our enemy to know that we somehow caught one of their guinea pigs. The man was brought to a safehouse so we went to interrogate him. Outside it's a simple house near the ocean, wooden walls and ceilings complete with furniture. But when we went inside there's a secret door behind the fireplace with a stair going to the basement. At the end of it, it looks like a dead end but a door suddenly opened when Luke spoke leading us to an elevator. It was an underground facility. I wasn't aware of the place so I was surprised. The girls were shocked as well but the boys seemed like they already knew about it. "I built this place for a situation like this. Our enemy was so elusive. They know our every move. This place is not yet complete but it'll be ready in a few weeks.
"I would like to talk to him." I told Luke while still sitting on his lap. He sighed then smiled looking at me. "Let's go talk to him." We went inside with Eugene just in case the man would change his mind. Luke signaled him to remove the blindfold. "Where am I?" The man asked. "Hello Mister." I tried to calm myself. He looked at me as if waiting for my next words. "Your wife and son are both okay. Your bills at the hospital have been paid for already and your son will undergo surgery tomorrow." I started by telling him about his family. His face lit up then gazed at Luke.
"You're so tight and dripping wet baby." Luke said in a hoarse voice. I was bending over the table while he continued to fuck me from behind. I felt his erection become harder when he thrust deeper into my core. So deep that I can feel his dick in my womb. We've been making love for two hours. I don't know but I didn't feel any exhaustion. I love being together with him. As if we are one. He turned me over, his dick still inside me. I was now lying on top of the table. He cupped one of my breasts and leaned over to kiss me. I wrapped my arms around him to receive his kiss. "Alora, I love you. I will love you forever. My life belongs to you." He said in a soft voice. I didn't reply. Instead, I kissed him deeply. He
THIRD POV"Are you sure about that?" Luke asked.She curved her lips and frowned, trying to remember the man she had seen that day. It was a vivid image because she was knocked out, but there was something on the man's face that she clearly remembered.She nodded to confirm her statement. "He's Peggy's father. Do you remember when we met the man to ask about Peggy's whereabouts? I felt something weird toward him. I noticed there was a deep scar on his left eyelid. The man in the woods had the same scar like Benjamin's. And he also asked something weird that day.""What did he ask you?" Sophie asked."He asked me if I remember him. I was confused and told him it was my first time meeting him. I ignored what happened because I thought he just mistook me for someone, but thinking back, maybe he meant the day he injected me with the serum." Luke walked to the other side of the table and sat on the swivel chair. And was in deep thought.Benjamin Miller, CEO of Miller International Securit
After the party, I put the twins to sleep and kissed them good night. Luke, Percy and Sophie waited for me in the study."That serum, do you remember what happened after they inject it into you?" Luke asked.I tried to remember, but nothing came to my mind so I shook my head."I think I passed out after that then—" I paused then frowned.Luke held my hand. "Don't push yourself, baby. Just try to remember what you can."I nodded. "When you help me escape, I think I met a man who injected me with that serum. After that, I just remembered running and that's when I was caught by our kidnappers.""And you killed them?" Sophie followed.I nodded again. "I just remember feeling scared at one point, then that fear suddenly changed into a rage when they told me about killing the three of you.""When you wake up, did you remember anything? Anything at all?" Luke asked again.I disagreed by shaking my head.Percy was on his iPad, searching for something. Then he exclaimed. "Found it!"We settle o
Half a year passed but we never heard anything about Peggy. My husband supported Jayden in his search for her, but the clues we got would eventually vanish along with the traces of Peggy.When almost everyone was busy dealing with the missing Flousian princess, I was busy with myself. I felt like the voices in my head were arguing. I knew already that I'm crazy, that my mind was messed up, and only the little one inside me was keeping my sanity.I didn't tell Luke about what I had found out about myself. I knew he would understand because my husband was a selfless man, especially if it concerned me. He loved me more than his life and that scared me the most. I knew he would still forgive me if I told him the truth."Why don't you tell your husband about yourself? It's a betrayal of trust if you lied to him." Camila said while I'm sitting in front of the mirror."I'm not lying. He didn't ask me about anything so how could I lie to him. I haven't denied anything to him." I insisted.Cam
I stood up when I felt Luke was sleeping quietly. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.“So it was you all along. Are your memories starting to come back? Or are you still wandering in the dark?” It was Camilla who was staring directly at me.“Some of it. Maybe most of them.” I smirked.“I love seeing your face like that. So what are your plans now? Can you really control yourself? Did you remember what really happened in Creepy Willow Forest?” Camila asked.I nodded, giving her a mischievous grin.“It was me. Not you. I killed those people.” I answered.Camila let out an evil laugh. Hearing her laughter was musi
"Elizabeth?" I mumbled with trembling lips. She crouched down and stared into my eyes. Her eyes were like mine, silver yet it was sparkling like crystals. I was shocked when she suddenly grabbed my face with her hand. I'm not sure if it hurts "I hate those eyes of yours. They were like from some dead girl. You were so lucky to have everything yet you are not happy. Your parents, your siblings, friends, your boyfriend and now you are having a baby." She said in a cold tone while looking down my belly. I suddenly feared her. Somehow, she was different. She wasn't the Elizabeth I knew. She was colder than Camila, her aura was darker and eerie. "Elizabeth, you're scaring me. What happened to you?" I asked, trying not t
It was exhausting. Just thinking of everything that happened makes my head throb.I really wish I figured it out sooner. If only I knew that she was asking for help then maybe all of this would not be happening to us."So is your heart getting soft now?I was sitting in front of the mirror brushing my hair when Camila spoke.I took a deep breath and looked at the girl in the mirror with her red eyes coldly staring at me.I didn't answer. I know what her point was. I've been dealing with DID because of what happened to me when I was a kid and was mad at the people who made me like this. But now that I found out my Aunt's reasons, I suddenly had a change of heart."Then are you suggesting to keep my heart tainted with bloo
After our meeting, we went home quietly. Luke hadn't said anything and was just sitting in silence. He hasn't asked me about the meaning of my last interaction with Camila.I was thinking about her the whole time. I didn't realize that she's been sending me a message ever since.When we arrived at Queen's, we went straight to Luke's office where everyone was waiting. Inside, we were surprised to see our parents.Mom rushed into me and embraced me tight, followed by the girls. Father patted me on the head then walked towards Luke. I saw his parents smiling, indicating they are very proud of him."You did great honey." Mom whispered.We sat on the couch to talk about what happened earlier. Luke seated on his swivel chair, cross
The first time I met Camila was in the forest. I was terrified at that time and fear was always with me whenever we talked about her ever since. The second time was at the party. I still felt the same towards her, terrified with her coldness and evilness. However, now that we are meeting for the third time, I couldn't feel any fear towards her. I realized she was using it against me. If I lived in fear she would just keep on threatening us. She always tells me that she likes my eyes. I noticed that every time she felt excited and thrilled was the time that I was showing my weakness and fear towards her. I wouldn't allow that anymore. Especially with the baby in my belly. I was staring at her directly to her eyes from the moment she entered the room. I wanted to rush into her and strangle her like what I did to the young Santelmo. But I felt Luke's grip tighte
I was just listening to him and was surprised about the history of their family with the Wilson's. One of the guards walked towards Luke and gave some files before Paulo was able to continue. "Alfonso Santelmo, your great great grandfather. The most influential man back in the 1970's. He was friends with Matthew Wilson, my father's grandfather. Alfonso was imprisoned because of the rape and murder of Agatha Wilson, Matthew Wilson's sister. Alfonso died in 1980. He was beaten and stabbed to death." It was Luke who continued. Paulo didn't say a word but I could see that he was surprised. He didn't expect that Luke knew something about it. The case file of Alfonso Santelmo was erased from the police's database and no one knows how. I'm not really sure how Luke found out about it.
