“That would surely look good on her”Aiden mumble to himself as he saw the final product of the sketches he made. Designed to fit for Lea, he did so even if he know that there is no one to wear that since she is gone. Even after all the things that happened, he can’t help but blame himself for not having the ability to protect her. He was there with her and yet he just did nothing so save her. He was useless. Just like his dear father he loathes so much.“Son, are you alright?”Standing from the door, he did not dare enter his son’s room. “If I told you I wasn’t, will it change anything? I bet not”Buttoning up his coat, he picks up the flower bouquets on his bed. Looking at the dress that was in front of him, he took a last glance from it.“Lilith, right?”He said as soon as he saw the maid not far from where they are.“Tell them to bring this on the shop. Sold it if one ever wants it”“Sir, but isn’t…”Bowing her head, she knew that’s he have no words to say about that matter. If i
“Mr. Aiden Lazarus!”Walking on the red Carpet, number of people are watching him as he walks. Wearing yet another brand-new creation, all eyes are looking at him.‘He is not with his wife, so is the news really true?’‘So Mrs. Lazarus is dead… really?’‘Hey, keep it shut. Many people are here’But none can tell if it was his clothes they are looking at or the very person whose wife is dead‘Poor him… is there a curse in being Mrs. Lazarus?’Thankfully he is from afar, he did not hear such words coming from the mouth of those who know nothing but gossip. ‘Media’ making up stories to catch people’s attention just so they would read the article that they created. Not knowing the effect it would bring to the very person that they are talking about.But not be worried, for Aiden care no less about those matters. Since he was a child, he was used to dealt with such words.“Stunning as ever, he surely is the son of Mr. Menandro Lazarus”“Yes partner, as if he sweep all gazes to land on his
Eyes locked in her orbs, Aiden can’t help but think how greatly similar she and Lea was. As if he was looking at Lea having just a different style. Even that dress that he made specially for her, that is the exact same vision he had on his mind while making those designs.“Excuse me? Did we met before?”“I also thought the same thing, she does look like Lea”Confused by what they are talking about, she can’t help but be worried. For her, it was her first time meeting them and yet there they are, speaking things that she can’t understand.“Sorry? But I don’t know what you meant to say by that. if you’ll excuse me”Wanting to go back to where Brylle was, she was surprised when Aiden hold her wrist.“Ah-““Aiden” “Bro”Stopping her, even the two was surprised by what he did.“Tell me.. what is your name again?”“A- allea…”Stuttering, she tried to remove his grip from her but he won’t let go of it.“Hey, let me go…”“No, it isn’t your name… right?”“What are you talking about?”Not want
“Hi, I am Sylphia Klein. It is nice meeting you. You are…?“Hearing her voice that made Lea stop a bit. But then a gentle smile escapes her lips as she saw the girl wearing a black and silver pants style gown.“Allea Ruie, it is nice meeting you too. Sylphia”“What a beautiful name… I think I heard it somewhere before… but it seems like… it wasn’t really. I mean.. I know someone with a name almost similar to what was yours… you also have the same facial features… I wonder if the two of you are related…”Head tilting back and forth in a slow manner, Sylphia did not took Lea’s hands in an instant. As if she was still calculating her.“Pardon?”“Oh, nothing… it just makes me be reminded of someone I know”“Hmm, your friend may be?”Giving her a handshake, a small smile escapes Sylphia’s lips.“Yea? Sort of… she was my soon to be friend”“Soon… to be friend?”A small giggle escapes Lea’s lips.‘That was cute.. oh no, I laughed at her. She wouldn’t find it disrespectful, right?’“Oh sorry.
“What did you say?”Aiden asked as soon as he heard his name. even that familiar voice made his heart stop a beat. As if it was the voice he was trying to figure out in hie every sleep. After Lea went missing and was stated dead, he have no recollection of how her voice sounds like. He have no photos of her other than those in the news. The memory he had with him was just those things she left…Even though his car’s uploaded video includes Lea there, Elton and Menandro won’t let him have access of it. Saying that it was for his own good.“Call me again… say my name…”“Aiden…”A tear started to form in the corner of his eyes..“Say it again… please… say it”The pain he had in his heart, as if something was placed on it opening the chest where he hide those feelings.“Ai… den?”“Lea… it is you… lea…. You are alive…”The liquid forming on his eyes did not held itself any longer. Starting to fall, that made Lea be surprised.‘Just… why are you hurting like this?’Seeing his face made her
“Son, You have to stop”Drinking yet another glass, bottles of empty wine can be seen scattered on the table. Staying at the nearby hotel, as soon as Aiden get his wounds treated, he did not say any words at all. Even Menandro know that something must have happened. But he wasn’t there to witness the very scene, all he know is that there was a commotion between his son and Brylle.Not listening to his words, Aiden continued to pour yet another wine on his cup. And when Menandro took it away from him, he drank directly on the bottle he was holding.“I did not raised you to be a drunkard”“You didn’t raised me at all”Letting out a deep sigh, the old man gulp the wine in the glass he was holding. That made Aiden look at him. slightly surprised with what he did.“Why? Do you think it is just you who can drink?”Heading to the cabinet on the small kitchen of the room,,, there he saw set of fine drinks that was displayed in shelf.“Alright, if you won’t stop, then drink with me then”Putti
“When will she wake up?”Shaking his head, even the doctor can calculate when will Lea open her eyes.“Sorry for you to hear this but it is up to the patient when will she open her eyes. But rest assured we did not find any complications at all. She is just tired and maybe lost her consciousness due to the shock of what happened. She is lucky to not gain any injuries than spraining her ankle”Tapping Brylle’s shoulder, the doctor excuse himself.“And before I forget about it, do you have any contacts to her relatives? Maybe they have the idea if she ever went through a traumatic event in the past. We saw some weird waves on her brain, it would be good if she would lessen stress”Not having any knowledge about the real origin or Lea, Brylle can’t help but smile bitterly.“I have none…”Shaking his head, he look at Lea that was sleeping soundly in the hospital bed. It is luxurious compared to any bed that one can see. What can they say if this was the best room one can ever find in thi
“And what are you up to this time?”Elton asked his friend scrolling through files as if he was looking for something that won’t let him sleep at night.“Nothing”Boredly looking at the man that give such reply, Elton was left speechless as to why he say such words.“Nothing? Really, you want me to believe in that? okay fine. You are looking for nothing”Acting as if he was closing his mouth zipper up, he let out a sarcastic smile.“Ah, by the way I also sent your condolences to the president. Not sure if he would still see it but his daughter’s loss was so sudden. Who would have thought that the bombing in the Gala would kill the first lady?”Shaking his head that doesn’t care about listening to what Elton was saying. All he care is about how to find out if Lea and Allea was the same.“If you ask me I am certain that it was planned neatly. No one even knows when did that bomb was planted” Elton shakes his head continuously as he really can’t believe in what happened the night of the
