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 get my mind off the secret I had discovered and by doing this I might even get him to spill more about Elizabeth.
So I followed him, I waited at his doorstep so he could get something from his room, Xander didn't live in the mansion, he had a house farther off into the deepest part of the land area which wasn't even nearby but we didn't trek to his house, we drove those golf tiny cars used to carry things on a golf course, it's something rich people use..... I don't know the name.
The exterior of his house was beautiful, it didn't look like the glamorous and sophisticated mansion I was already tired of seeing. His was so much simple and really modern, he told me to come in but I chose to stay outside.
When he came out he smiled at me before he locked the door to his house and we drove back in golf thing to the mansion area, I must say Xander was funny and a potential flirt, if I wasn't involved in a pregnancy I would've fallen for him, he was the only one that had made me feel comfortable since my coming here.
The others like Beatriz was obsessed with the baby and Damon was obsessed with me not having the baby, it was a complete madhouse and I hate to be in it.
Xander personally opened the garage without the help of the others, it made me wonder a lot of things like the fact that why isn't that no one rush to his aid like when it came to Damon. Damon was like a superstar celebrity in here, I mean, I get that he is rich and all but why isn't Xander treated the same way.
I just got to know them and there is still about eight months to know them more.
There were several cars in there, each would be probably worth my ten years total salary that is if you don't add taxes and I work for twenty four hours stretch non stop.
They had so many cars and I can bet they don't even drive each one per day, this is the ignorance I hate, there are so many people who is in need of the money spent on one of those cars...... God blesses the wrong people.
"That's Damon car, that's dad's, mom...... Elizabeth and this is mine, smooth right, come on feel it" Xander introduced, there were other cars too but he didn't mention anything about them. I touched his car to feel it, his was a lot more than the others.
"Yeah, it feels nice" I said smiling.
"Wait till you see the inside" he pressed the button on the remote control for the car and the lights on and doors too.
We both took our seats, with Xander at the driver's seat and me at the other. "Take in that new car smell..... This car is everything, Damon bought it for me as a birthday present but I have not being able to use it, I am sure Damon will get you yours since you are like his surrogate....."
"Really?" I said with shock in my voice.
"Yeah, that was what he was talking about on the phone when we came...... Weren't you listening?" Xander said, was he expecting that I eaves drop on a person conversation and I didn't even know he was there. "Mom must've forced him to get you one like she did with mine, anyways.... We are going to a place..." He didn't exactly mention the place but I was sure enough to trust him.
He helped me with my seat belt after I had issues trying to figure it out, he smiled which made me believe he must be a playboy.
We we're almost out of the garage when we were both stopped by Damon.... Again. He still had a phone on his ear but he had changed into something casual which made him look different from his initial look of always being on suit.
Dropping his phone in his pocket he walked towards us and told the both of us to get down. "Where are you going with her?" He asked, he is always asking questions.
"To the park" Xander responded looking a little frustrated I too would be if I had a brother who is such a pain in the ass.
"Leave her here and take mom with you to the mall, she wants to do some shopping" Damon said. "You.... Come with me" he said authoritatively.
"Why can't you take mom? You seem dressed for it" Xander pointed out and I very much agree with him.
"Just do as I say and I will send you the money you requested" Damon said bluntly before taking my hands and walking away, it was the first time he held me.
"Where to?" I demanded, I had the right to know where he had in mind to take me.
"Just keep quiet and follow me"
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
Damon glared at Xander with utmost hate in his eyes, it was obvious something was up between but it was tell what it. There was the idea Xander wanting to take over Damon's company but I know that this hate goes way beyond that."I guess now I can get the respect I deserve, little brother" Xander said and my eyes widened.What!"Will you two cut it out!" Beatriz banged on the table and Damon exited the room. I had not a single clue what was going on.Little brother? Damon is Xander's little brother? I cannot believe this.Beatriz covered her face and laid her head on the table, she took out a napkin and then she started crying. I could feel her sadness despite not knowing everything, I took her to her room and laid her on the bed.When I was about to leave the room she stopped me by saying, "Let's talk, Priscilla". I on the other hand was open for any discussion to understand more on all this melt down going on.She sat up, taking out
