Chapter 30
Ana’s POV
I close my eyes tight when I hugged Luke tightly. “Is there something wrong?” He asked while kissing me in my forehead and I just shake my head and continue to hug him.
“You remember the time when we had our tattoo? I was so scared especially that my skin was expose and that my parents would be angry when they find out about this.”
“Hmm, of course I do. I hold your hand tight because it was shaking so much.”
“Did you ever think that we made the wrong choice? It was so abrupt and we didn’t plan it.”
“No. I love the tattoo that we have right now. It made me love you more… because despite being scared you still did it with me, and don&rs
Chapter31Part 1 My throat feels fry the moment I open my eyes, but soon close my eyes again as I hate this familiar feeling, I think this is the third time I woke up in a hospital bed and I hate that the ceiling is so familiar, the smell too and it reminds me of that bad memories I’ve get pass through in this room. Everything is familiar, even the feeling is familiar but this time I’m not the one who’s badly hurt.I try to sit down on my bed but my head is still spinning and when I saw a cup of water in the bedside table I immediately grab it with the energy that I have and drink it.The door open soon after of calming myself down as I don’t have the strength to stand up. I want to know how is Pearl and where is she… I need news.“Ana.”
Chapter31Part 2 “Can you take care of Pearl?” I feel guilty leaving her here and I want someone to check on her every chance they get, she has a private nurse that is of course paid to stay silent about this matter but family is different and that leaves me to calling Evan.“Why is she ill?”“She’s in a coma… I text you the address.” He stayed silent absorbing the information I just drop and put the phone down giving him a moment.I feel like I’m floating. Day by day I’m just getting by as I pretend that I’m okay. Seeing my sister lying in that hospital bed in my place made me hate myself and question how bad I really am for someone to want to kill me. She just wanted to get back to her life and experience love from her husband tha
Chapter32I bit my lips as I hold my hand tightly together. I have no reason to be nervous but upon noticing other people passing by and the sound of the speaker speaking it made me more tense because any minute now I’ll get to see the person that I call home… Luke.I look around feeling paranoid that someone might be following me but I have my trust on the bodyguards that Kate hired. They’re not on my side but disguise as civilians, I don’t know where they are but I’m sure they’re somewhere. I’ve already instructed them not to come when Luke is around, I don’t want questions from him and once again more lies.How funny that I’ve been lying to him for a year and four months now and the lies as been build up high that I think it now reaches the moon. I want to tell him now that Pearl w
Chapter33Part 1 I look at myself in the mirror. I have my earpiece on for emergency purposes and I hide it using my hair. I feel nervous especially upon hearing the clock ticking. The room is silent as the make up artist already left.Today is the day… the day of the event and the day to give the suspect a chance to show up. It’s nerve racking but I want the end of this… I hate the police and I want to give them want they want so they could leave me alone… my investigator is already here somewhere… and we both think that the person trying to kill me is that suspect the police is saying. I know it in my gut and I want to confirm it today… because once I know who that person is, it’s not going to be beautiful from now on, not after compromising the life of my sister. I don’t c
Chapter33Part 23rdPOV“We failed.” Dave said. He almost got caught by the police but luckily he made a great idea, he stop running acting like he didn’t do anything wrong. He stopped and he got interrogated by the police and he answer all their question with confidence that they let him go, partly because they received a news… he doesn’t know what it was but it saved his life and good thing the police didn’t recognize him, it took a couple of surgery to change his face and he can say that it was a success after seeing their faces.“Why didn’t you know about the police!?” She scream at the top of her lungs and throw the things that she could get her hands on.“We didn’t know that she’s well a
Chapter34 Part 1“Is this really necessary?” I look at Kate feeling uneasy. “This is risky, what if Luke visit here today?”Kate shook her head. “Ezra said they will be all busy to an event so you don’t have to worry. You just need to do this. They won’t sign it unless you come to them.”I sigh and continue doing my make up. “I said I wanted a break… and I won’t make public appearance when I’m ready.”“You won’t, this will be a private matter between that brand… it’s one of your major brand and I assume you want to continue working with them.”She has a point, I don’t just want to give up modeling just like this. I need to be prepared for all the possibiliti
Chapter34 Part 2Here we go again. It’s like deja vu. I laugh at myself upon going down to the car and smiling to the camera but this time I’m not going inside on my own because by the entrance someone is waiting for me.“Love.” Luke kissed me in the lips and we both smile at each other as we go inside the hall. The guest greet me and unlike earlier I actually have to force myself to interact with them. Being two person at an event is hard. My personalty and behavior crash with Pearl but for a year I have been good at this, but one thing I’m not good at is separating myself from the thought that this is not my real like and Luke isn’t my husband and he’s not in love with me but my sister.“I’m sorry I’m late. You know I’ve been busy with the resort
Chapter35 Part 1 “You okay?” James suddenly asked when I look at Pearl. It’s been a year and there’s no signs of her waking up. It’s frustrating and I don’t want to do especially that the doctor warned me about getting ready for all possibilities. How can I though? Do I ready her coffin? Do I tell her husband and her parents? I don’t know… it pains me, all her life she just wanted something of her own but everything go downhill the moment I stepped into her life.“I don’t even know what to respond to that.” I cross my arms, James is sitting on the chair on the bedside while holding Pearl’s hand and I choose to stand up… I don’t want to stay long especially when I can’t handle looking at her in this state.“Pearl!&rd
