I was so hooked on the book that I lost track, this woman must really had a gift for sexual contents, this was money in my hands. But what really prompt her to write this, was it because she was bored like I am right now......
I took the book with me to the garden area and sat under a parasol to shade me from the sun that rising quite rapidly.
The book might have been filled with a sexual content but it was funny, so funny that my laughter caught the attention of the bodyguards guarding the area. The female lead is a feisty lady which the Male lead adores so much.
I really love a good book.
I kept on reading until I got to a blank page, the blank page continued and I was starting to get hurt since I was at the brink of knowing what was to happen next after the male lead is caught sleeping with another woman.
I turned the pages continuously hoping that the book continues before I pounced on a letter she wrote.
"11/09/2020,
I married him, yes the man I loved so much, he knelt down and asked me to marry him even though I thought it was old fashioned I still said yes. We got married at a church and was attended by nobody.... Lol. His mother wasn't pleased with our Union but she did welcome me in, even though I didn't feel it. I stopped writing since I have the man of my dreams with me, I must say that he is so great in bed much more than Xander (Elsa's lover in my book), it's funny cause I haven't....." I quickly closed the book when I saw somebody approaching me.
"What do you have there?" He asked, he looked exactly like Damon but nicer and he even smiled. "I have been looking at you from far and it seems to be that what you are reading might interest me, this house can be a bore...."
I blinked my eyes twice as I wondered why this guy that had all of Damon's facial features was talking to me so casually and not with honorifics, it felt weird.
"I am sorry for not introducing myself earlier, I am Xander by name....." He said, my head twitched was this the Xander Elizabeth wrote on her book?
What the hell is happening here?
"I am Priscilla" I said after a long pause, I was still trying to understand and put the puzzle pieces together when Xander stretched out his hand for me to shake, a fine gesture from a fine gentleman.
"You must be the surrogate I heard of, you look beautiful by the way" he took his seat under the parasol along with me, I quickly picked the book and his before he took any notice or prior interest on it.
We both sat there in silence, my head still in whirlwind of thoughts, my desire to know more grew rapidly as I looked at his face, his was rugged and looked like it had been to several places while Damon was different, he might be cruel but his face was had a much more nicer look unlike his personality.
"Well this boring...." Xander concluded, "we've been staring at each other's faces for a long time now, let's do something fun"
"Like what?" My mind quickly travelled to those erotic scenes he was probably in, even though I knew that wasn't what he was talking about, I couldn't help but think it.
"How about a stroll? I could give you a tour of this mansion and tell you some secret...." He said placing so much emphasies on the secret, the imaginary antenna on my head raised as soon as I heard it.
"Would love to.... My body is actually tired just sitting here"
"Great! Your hands please" he asked for them and I offered willingly, I won't be actually surprised if I found out later Xander was actually Elizabeth real crush and was the one she really wrote of.
We walked around and he really showed me those places he talked so greatly of, it wasn't much of a secret if it could be vividly seen.
There was someone at the place Xander spoke so greatly of, it was his brother Damon I assumed, the person was on a phone call before he cut it off.
"When did you return?" Damon said with a husky voice something Xander lacks.
"Three hours ago, I also met Priscilla here... Mom said she is your surrogate carrying yours and...." Xander was about completing but Damon stopped him showing how uninterested he was.
"Why are you back? Do you need more money?" Damon asked with no emotions or caring how his question will hurt his brother, this brute only thought of himself.
Xander scoffed while rolling his eyes, the then calm funny guy I met a while ago suddenly changed.
"I thought you will welcome me at the very least, but all you could say is if I was in need of money....." Xander held back from saying anymore, his gaze turned to me and I immediately felt shy, I was just about to see two brothers fight. "Please excuse us" he begged me and I nodded.
I left the place before things got messy. I went back to the garden and sat under the parasol about to continue the diary Elizabeth had written and left.
There was an hidden secret far greater than what was written on the book, I quickly turned to page and continued.
"I haven't been this close to feel him, we only talked and talked but that night it was pleasure all through, I wanted more of him so much that I crave him daily but he was busy, always busy and there was this pressure on my head about giving birth to a child." The pages stopped, there was supposed to be a continuation but the pages were ripped out.
Oh God! I really need to find those pages and soon. Damon's room should be where it is hidden but how was I going to go in when he already caught me before, even then it wasn't intentional and now it will be.
Damon loved Elizabeth so much that I strongly believe anything of hers could still be in his room.
I fell asleep while devising a plan to enter into Damon's room unnoticed, it will be hard but I know with a lot of tactics and maneuver I think that I can get there, I just need to find the right time, moment and motive..... I can't go in there without having a back up plan incase if I get caught.I opened my eyes to check what the time was when I notice Xander had been watching me, I don't understand why he loves staring doesn't he know that it is so very wrong to do that.I yawned and stretched my hands trying to hear a crack from my bones to see if I am strong enough to get up."You look beautiful when you sleep" Xander commented after sitting there silently. "I guess our stroll was cut short by my Killjoy brother, it's no fun when he is around..... Do you want to do something else? Much fun this time, I promise" he sounded so confident that I would be amused this time so I decided to give it another go, there was nothing I was doing here and I really want to
There was an unavoidable awkward silence between the both of us, the only thing that lighten up the mood was the news from the radio.I put my pinky finger on my lip, I felt tempted to chew on it, what could I do? I was sitting here extremely scared of what this man had in mind to do to me, for all we know he could be plotting something evil within him just to get rid of the baby.My fear didn't stop me from throwing in a few glances at him as he was so focused on the road that I don't think he noticed me staring.We drove around for a long time without him not saying a single word to me. After sometime he stopped the car at a part of the road before he turned to me."We are going to your mom's house, but I don't think I got the directions right" he said to me, his voice was calm and soothing unlike the time he caught me in his room. I didn't leave out he surprise look I had on my face, why did he want to take me to see my mum? I know it was a good
I never got to tell him thank you since he didn't return that day, or the next, for about a week he wasn't around and I tried to use the opportunity to sneak into his room but it was impossible without the key.He locked the door of his room and nobody in the entire house including his mother don't have a spare.I decided to give up hope for the time being and focus more on the baby growing gradually in me, I was already starting to get tired and stressed, though it was still at it's early stage.I got ready for shopping, not for myself but for the baby. I know it was too early for that but Beatriz insisted that we get baby clothes regardless, her reason was because she wanted to feel like a baby was coming into the house.My choice to go with the flow of things by letting her decide was just the only way I could stay neutral with the entire situation, if this is how she wanted to go through with everything then I don't have a say rather I chose to
There was no movement, none from me or from the people around. The nerve of her to come out and put a blame on me, I was shaken, infact any one would be if put in the situation I was in right now.Damon's face was cold, his expression was the only one I cared most about right now. I was scared of what he might say next, my heart was beating.... so hard you could hear the sound from outside.I looked at the maid who had accused me for something I didn't do but only thought of."I never went to his room, where did you get such idea from?" I decided to defend myself before things get messy, it's bad enough that he dislikes me, I don't want him to hate me any further.For the first time after the long pause we all took, Damon looked at me, his gaze was of a kind that try to read a person's innocence from their behavior.Damon let out a long sigh before he said. "Someone went in my room and took something which is very precious to me." He paused before
Turns out Elizabeth mum never knew her child couldn't give birth, It was sad watching a mother cry like this after being told of something hurtful. Her husband was the only one who could console her.By the time she was done crying and had urged us to eat so as to lighten up the mood we had already lost our appetite. Xander decided to explain it more further to the couple.They had all started on how carefree Elizabeth was and how she always dreamed of going to the mansion and eventually did. Elizabeth parent was never aware of her marriage with Damon which explains he empty banquet hall she talked about in her diary. I got to understand the family better and even Elizabeth.The couple showed their hatred for Damon even at the presence of his brother and Xander sided with them. For their side of the story Damon was a coward for not fighting hard for his wife when Beatriz pressurized her, Damon was never home and not once did he visit Elizabeth family while they
I stared at the half torn picture on the floor. I picked it up and recognized Elizabeth standing next to Damon, there was a hand on her shoulder and it didn't seem like it belonged to Damon but to the person at the right side of which I couldn't recognized.What gave off the gender of the unknown person beside Elizabeth was the rugged look of his hand, the other side that held the person's face was torn out perfectly.It baffles me how every clue I get always end up being torn, who ever is doing this must have a skill for tearing up things.My mind can't be at rest with every dead end I meet each time I am one step close in fixing the puzzle.There was a knock on my door which made me hide the diary and picture under my bed and quickly threw the duvet on myself and pretended like I was asleep.The door to my room opened wide as I couldn't help looking, I closed my eyes shut when I saw Damon walk in, he locked the door behind him before
What was going wrong with me? Here I was looking at this handsome brute with a strong desire for him to take me on his bed right now. I can't point out this sudden attraction and why? I know that I never saw him in this kind of way before and never thought that I ever will but today was really different.He showed so much care even after getting angry at the dinner table an action that put me off..... All this thought was done while I stared at his lips."If you going to keep staring at my lips at least you should tell me what was so important that you had to say" he said."Ah...." I mumbled as I tried to shake off such lust full thought from my head. "It was nothing" I said without knowing, my eyes widened at my response. "I mean.... It's about your heirloom......""What about it? Have you decided to return it""No!" I said out of annonyance. "I mean, I never took it in the first place" I tried to correct myself while still standing my ground.
Xander couldn't recover from what he had heard, he had a frown on his face that show how displeased he was. I moved closer to him and held his hand. "How about we both some fresh air" I said to him.He looked at me and nodded. We walked to the swimming pool area and sat there for a while not saying a single word to each other. I knew he had a lot say and pour out, I just need to be patient and wait till he was ready to talk, who knows he might end up speaking about the obvious rivalry between Elizabeth and Alicia and also the supposed relationship the four of them shared.I was so engrossed in my thought that I didn't notice Xander looking at me with a smile, what caught my attention was when he rubbed his hands on mine which were still interlocked."You look beautiful under the sun" he said, I could tell he was flirting with me and something in me wanted to play along, I mean what's the worst that could happen and considering we are just getting to know each ot
