False Best Friends Chapter 58: Home
"Oh.... you of course didn't know. She and Colton Adams shared a longgggggg kiss yesterday, the same day King was missing. What does that say?"She blinked. It couldn't be. Joan loved King, a lot. It was obvious, right?Luca let out an evil chuckle, "I'm sure King Johannson would love to hear how his beloved best friend kissed his arch enemy on the day he got lost. Love oh love."Isla snorted. She was sure Luca didn't tell her the exact story. Perhaps, Joan did kiss Colton Adams but was that all there was to the story?*"Do you miss home?"Alistair moved his head to the door. He had been reading a book Mrs Micheals left him."Sister Joan."He wished he wasn't so incapacitated, he hated not being in tune with the happenings of his environment so that he could help around.She looked so tired and depressed and he wished he could slap King awake from his coma."Do you miss home?" She asked again.He shook his head. Wasn't it Luca that sent him here?"Your siblings? Your parents?"He sho

Home. That damned mansion.She got into the black jeep, warm and comfy like Luca liked his cars to be. The man held her at gun point while the other loaded her luggage into the boot. The one who loaded her luggage got into the car and the one who held her at gun point stepped back out onto the curb. The door slid shut and the car sped away.She couldn't cry.*She was blindfolded throughout the surprisingly short ride, compared to the long distance she had expected.Probably Luca had gotten a house close by because of Miss Isla and his other brother. She felt the car enter through gates and into a garage. She was pulled out and led into a quiet house. She wondered what was going on. She became even more scared when she wondered if perhaps it wasn't Luca's men that took her. She was pushed down, quite gently, to a soft surface. A cushion, she realized and then her blindfold was taken off.She waited a second before popping open her eyes, one after another. She froze at the sight of the

"Luca's whore? And you treat her that way?" Jack blurted.His eyes narrowed, "What way?"Jack looked away, "You guys seemed like...lovers?"He rolled his eyes, "We kissed twice before I found out she was Luca's whore. The girl's a cunny one."Leprosy's eyes lit up, "Your first kiss!"His brows furrowed and then his eyes widened. Shit! That was his first kiss!*Three days and Alistair was feeling much better, thanks to Joan's pampering. He still felt pains in his body, his upper back specifically and he had headaches from time to time but he was strong, he could manage.The first thing he did after discovering he could now walk himself was to inspect the house he now lived in.Joan was fast asleep on his bed and he wasn't sure what Mrs Michaels was up to. He could already tell from the few meetings he had with Mrs. Michaels that she wasn't that much of a nice person and that she didn't have a good relationship with Joan.He surveyed the living room and the kitchen and the store room a

He cuffed her both hands to the bed this time.He looked up at her and was startled. She had tears running down her face."You're all the same! You're just like him! You just want to use me and then throw me away! You're keeping me chained like he did! You're all beasts! Heartless beasts!"He was frozen to his spot. Exactly what treatment did Luca met out to her?*He stared at her. Was she for real?"Get out! Go on, get out! Leave me chained here like some animal! You heartless shadow of a man! Get out!"He had enough of the insults. He had chained her alright but it was for both their good. She was a pest and with her character, she would not let him concentrate on the important life saving things he had to do. She didn't understand but she had the guts to open her mouth and say trash. She compared him with Luca. Why? Because he let himself get lost twice with her? He was foolish for that. His first kiss. Had he ever assaulted her? Did he make out with her in public?If not out of p

"Oh...but I love you so we can make love even without getting married?""No.""But I made love with Blake and Sandro and..."He pushed her off his shoulders, "With who!?"She blinked, her face turning to that of alarm, "I...uhm...we...they...""Charlene, you better tell me who those men are or else, I promise you, I'll kill every man in Sanviena until I find them!" He growled.*Joan made the decision to cut off all ties with Koty, not because of Alistair warnings the previous day but because she felt it was time."I'm sorry." She apologized after stating her mind.He had come to see her to apologize about their kiss.He smiled bitterly but nodded."I was just chasing shadows. I'm sorry for causing troubles." He said sincerelyJoan sighed, staring at the road. King, it's time for you to wake up, she thought. When she looked back at Koty, she found him staring at something behind her. It wasn't the direction of his eyes that had her curious but the scared look on his face.She turned a

Luca didn't budge when he heard the news. Good riddance to bad rubbish. King was better off without his cheating best friend. King needed to be a man; tough and unyielding, witty and crafty like he was but he couldn't achieve all that if he was still so attached to that weak girl.Frederico did nothing since Luca did nothing. Alistair was there anyway, why couldn't he protect her?Isla had no idea.But Luca tightened security at King's hospital just incase.*All Victor and his men's effort to find Joan proved to be in vain when nightfall came and they had no tangible result.He said to his men, "If by tomorrow night, we don't find her...we stop. It's not Joan we need, it's King and our time and effort should be focused on him. He can do without her."The night passed in silence and the day brought even more sorrow but no one expected what the afternoon brought for behold when the click struck twelve, a sleeping beauty was delivered right into her bedroom."Jack, do you copy? Chase th

She replied him with another kiss.They were broken apart by the sudden slam of the room's door and the marching of heavy boots. They looked to behold two police officers with unfriendly looks on their faces and a pair of cuffs dangling from one's hand."Joan Michaels, please step aside."The second spoke, "King Johannson, you're under arrest for the illegal kidnap of Jamal Johannson."King froze. He was caught.*King froze. He was caught?Joan was in panic. No...no...Not when she had just gotten him back from coma will she allow him to be taken again."Officers..." She stammered, getting to her feet.King shrank in guilt. Joan must have found out, she must have known everything already. Sweat gathered on his forehead."Joan..." He called softly, the officers forgotten.Joan turned back, pausing when she saw the look on his face. She sighed with a sad smile, "It's fine. I understand.""Miss Joan, please step aside.""Officers, what is going on?"Joan was startled at the sudden entran

"I'm sorry." She whispered, "I'm sorry you had to go through all that alone. I'm really sorry."A sharp cough had them turning their heads to behold another intruder, one with a mischievous smile on his adorable cute young face. She had forgotten he came with her."Who's that?" King asked curiously.She opened her mouth to respond but Alistair beat her to it."I am your brother."*King eyed the boy up, feeling slightly irritated by the joke. He had just woken up from coma and also had a close shave with a prison cell, all he wanted now was spend the rest of the day mopping in his bestfriend's arms. He still felt weak as hell and he just had to be hindered...again.From the boy's wise eyes, he could tell that he was far mature than he looked."Half brother actually, we only share the same mother." Alistair continued.Joan was ... What was he doing? She adjusted herself to be free from King's arms and sat properly on the bed."I don't have a mother." King replied coldly.Alistair smile

She stood stiff and rigid, even her breathing was controlled. His hand ran through her straightened hair."I'm sorry, Bernadette, I'm sorry. I'm here, you can lean on me. I'm sorry."She tried to pull away but he held her back so she stayed cold. Vincent and Frederico watched with narrowed eyes.*"The PDA can be saved for later. We have a brother in surgery." A cold voice cut through the moment. She jumped away from Merlione, looking guilty and nervous as a drenched fish."Vincent," She called in greeting, trying to match his cold look. He eyed her up, also Merlione who came to stand protectively by her side.She wondered why she felt so nervous and guilty. Perhaps because she knew she needed the approval of King's family.Frederico stepped forward, looking unbothered. "We heard the news. What happened?""He called me," she answered smartly, "he called me just before he lost consciousness.""How did you know where he stays?""He told me." She was less nervous now but there was someth

She laid her head on his shoulder and let him tell her about work and his life for the past nine years while sharing one large can of soda then they ran around and played like little children, using the swings and involving in a sand castle competition with the other children.It was exactly what they needed in their too-careful world.*Frederico puffed on a cigarette, lost in thought. He was surrounded by loud music and intoxicated people but none of the senseless activities going on around him registered in his head. Only one thought did.He had to get rid of King Johannson.Either he did that or he risked being killed. Who else would have the audacity to kill Luca? And motive? There was also Vincent. He sure as hell was a suspect but all fingers pointed to King. It wasn't a coincidence that Luca was murdered during the same period the girl King loved was getting hooked.He took another long drag and stubbed out the rest. It was Luca first, soon it would be him. It was Luca's fault

The problem was that he just couldn't accept the reality that she wasn't his any longer. It felt unreal.He clicked the call icon. Still, he wouldn't leave her. If he ever left her, it would be because she asked him to.Switched off. He dialed her line again. Switched off. Third time. Switched off. He ran a hand down his face.*Isla knocked on Vincent's front door."Tommy, Tommy" She cooed when Thomas answered the door."Thomas, how many times have I warned you to stop answering the door!?" Charlene shouted from somewhere inside."Calm down, Char," She chuckled, entering the lavender-scented home."Nice morning, Aunt Isla," Thomas greeted respectfully, seemingly oblivious to his mum's worries. She laughed, ruffling his hair then stuffed a hundred-dollar bill in his hand. He beamed."Buy as many chocolates as you want, ok?" She whispered, ruffling his hair one last time before going into the kitchen where Charlene was."Oh, my love," She cooed, seeing the five-month-old baby in a movi

She threw her phone aside with a satisfied smirk, "he asked for it. Imagine telling me to apologize after openly stating he didn't take it to heart. A hypocrite, that's what he is."Joan didn't know whether to laugh or cry."Yes, he said he doesn't mind but it is only normal for you to apologize when you do something wrong to show you are truly sorry.""Well, that should be my choice, not his." She stubbornly refused.Joan raised her hands and dropped them in resignation."Good riddance," Isla whispered.*"You were out all day."Were the first words she heard upon entering the house at about 7 pm."Yes. I'm home early. Is there a problem?" He was at the foot of the stairs. He looked sad and beaten but he was one hell of a good actor."Sorry," She changed tactics, putting on a smile, forcing ill feelings out of her heart, "good evening. How was your day?""It was trashy and boring without you," He replied in a monotone, "I went out to see my family when you left for Church and I got

"Thank God, he's gone." Isla sighed with contagious relief."Nah," Joan shook her head, "you get his phone number and talk to him."Isla's eyes widened, "How am I supposed to do that? He's obviously in a rush. Why else will he get takeout?""I'll get it for you.""How?"*Just nice, she was called three days later."It has been confirmed," James spoke, the smiling man she met at the restaurant gone, "Fr. Greg wasn't the chief celebrant at your wedding."She wasn't surprised. "Then who was?"They were all present as three days before, including James' secretary and the Priest who had never uttered a word other than a quiet greeting.He showed her a photo."After going through the footage of that day, the day before, and the day after, we suspect this man as the culprit. He has never been seen in the Church before that day. He was seen entering the Sacristy just seconds after Fr. Greg did but he was never seen coming out. Upon closer inspection..." He showed her another photo. It was a

She thought of going to see King but the memory of Vincent's cold face crossed out the thought. She visited Isla instead.*"Surprise, surprise." Isla's eyes were wide as she ushered her into her modest penthouse in the early afternoon of a Monday. The house was pretty small but comfy. A set of mismatched couches in the middle, an eating area to the right, a TV at the center, a few flowers in antique vases kept at strategic corners, and a treadmill close to a door she assumed led to the room."I checked you at work but I was told you wouldn't be at work for the rest of the week. Is there a problem?"Isla laughed, passing her a glass of water after she sat on one of the couches, "Must there be a problem?""No, but one doesn't just take a leave from work, do they?"Isla wrinkled her nose. She looked pretty. Her long red hair was now shoulder length and she looked very relaxed at home in pajama shorts and a too baggy T-shirt."Ok," She plopped down beside her and tucked her legs in, "I

"There's something else. Your father...""Sold me off? I know that. I received documents today that stated I'm no longer enslaved to them and neither are you and I under any threat. I'm simply just married to him with the condition that I can never divorce him.""Like you would ever." He scoffed.She smiled. Patience, King, patience; I'm coming for you.*She posed and smiled the brightest as the media drowned them with camera flashes and endless questions. Her arm in Merlione's, he led her carefully through the sea of paparazzi and important figures to the hall where the business dinner was being held. It was a week since their wedding.The expensively decorated eating area was to the right while the guests milled about on the left, greeting each other and making business friendships. The first eyes she made contact with were that of King's. He was invited, along with Frederico.He was chatting with an older man. A stinkingly rich one, she realized, seeing his face. She couldn't reme

"Ok, but I'll like to remind you that until this case is resolved, you are still, as it is, married to Merlione Fritzgerald and it is holy that you remain faithful to your vows."She smiled, "Yes, Father."He rose. She did too."You don't mind if I pray for you?"*She returned to her current temporal house, as she chose to call it, after spending some time in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. She put on her nicest dress, applied makeup which she seldomly did, wore her best heels, and styled her hair until she looked the part of a queen.She sat in the living room and waited for Merlione to return. Once he walked through the front door, she stood and made to walk past him. He grabbed unto her arm."Where are you going dressed like this?"★Merlione's mouth dropped open at the sight of Bernadette. She looked... beautiful was an understatement. He wasn't sure he had ever seen her dress so much. He snapped back to his senses as she walked past, her rosy perfume tickling his nostrils. He grab

She always swallowed everything in and cried till her body was drained of fluid then she got up and pretended everything was fine.She looked up to Heaven and vowed. Even if it was the last thing she did, she'll fight for her and King's freedom.Making that decision, she got off the floor with a smile. The Fritzgeralds family had it coming.*"I told you; I told you! I warned you not to add that in the agreement yet you did. Look at the outcome now!" Merlione hollered, in front of his aunt and uncle."Stop being such a kid," Josephine snapped, "do you really think she'll never divorce you? Don't believe her religious crap.""Well, yes, I believe her. That's why they fought so hard so we'll never get married.""But you're married now," His uncle, Steve, reminded him.He fought the smile that forced its way up his face. He sighed, taking a seat on a side stool."I hate that I had to use such methods to get her. It's annoying seeing the hatred in her eyes whenever she looks at me which i
