Alle Kapitel von Eliot Duke's Affair: The Mistress of Bali: Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

CHAPTER 11: BORROWED NIGHTS He was there. Eliot have his head on his palm, and he seems frustrated. Raquel hesitated at first, but taking the courage and following her heart, she take the initiative to be closer.How ironic that she tend to pushed Eliot away in fear that it could ruin everything, her life, her family and her name.“Are you alright?” Averse doubt, she behest what she was urging herself to.Eliot seems unwilling, when he raised his head to meet her eyes, “What are you doing here?”“I followed you.” She bit her lips. “I just wanted to make sure that you are alright—”“Really?” He was extremely cold. It was as if Raquel was facing a stranger, and not Eliot. “Yeah.” She trailed off and frowns.“Are you really worried about me or are you worried that I am not going to marry your sister, Raq?” His words condemned the proposal.But why was his resentment directed to Raquel? “I don’t know what you are talking about…”“Oh, spill it.” Blinded by his anger with Lauren, Eliot b

CHAPTER 13: ARE YOU MY REAL PARENTS? “What if Eliot refuses to marry me again, Ma?” Grace worriedly asked.She was frowning, her forehead are ceased into lines as she looks to her mother.“Nonsense.” Mrs. Duke chuckled. “I know Lauren, and by the looks of it, her son doesn’t have much of a choice. It’s either marrying you or losing everything, my dear.”“You seems so sure, Ma.” Grace raised her eyebrows. Her eyes deems curious about her own mother’s relationship to Eliot’s own.Mrs. Duke chuckled, “Let’s just say that she owes me something.”“She owes you something—?”But a knock on the door stopped the pair.“Are you expecting somebody?” Grace looked at her mother.“No, I wonder who—”But they don’t need to wonder for so long. When it was pushed open, the stress looking Mr. Duke, Grace father showed up with a defeated expression on his face.“I’m home.” He said, weary, and he reeks of the smell of sweat and piss.The reminder of the prison and how savages they are for mistreating hi

CHAPTER 15: BAD BLOODDavid did not ask what happened. After the confrontation, nobody speak. Nobody dare to bring it even. He just left, and everything was back to normal, except that he isn’t as harsh as before.He cooked, before he left, and Raquel couldn’t be feeling grateful for once. But that doesn’t mean she was already at ease.Staring at the paper on her hand, she let out a loud sigh, “Am I doing it, right?” She asked herself.The document she have gotten her hands onto contain the truth. It is her birthplace. Doctor Vergara gave it to her, before he left. He told Raquel that if she wanted the truth, then this place may be the key to every question she seeks.“But this is what I wanted.” She whispered to herself.Or more likely she was trying to convince herself to do so.Her phone rings.When she saw the name registered on the screen, her face hardened.It is her mother. The mother she grew up with, who had been feeding lies to Raquel.The call died down, but when she dialed

CHAPTER 17: CONTROVERSY “I heard that your mother-in-law stopped by, David.” Mrs. Smith said, his mother drinks from her cup of tea prepared by her own personal maid.She was clad on a sophisticated formal dress that was hugging her curves, although she was already at 45 years of age. The older woman looks much younger, but it is her strict face that repelled some to approach her, nor having any thoughts in mind to dare talk to the might Mrs. Smith.“They did.” David held no surprise, when his mother brings up the subject. He knew her well, but what made him curious is the fact that she summoned him out of nowhere…just for what? To have a tea?No, somethings definitely going on. “—But I just wanted to ask why call me here in your office?” He continued.He’s no fool.“Very well, always skeptical, son.” Mrs. Smith seems satisfied. “But bueno, since you are asking, let me return he question back to you, David.”“What’s going on, Ma?” David frowns.“I should be the one asking you that.”

CHAPTER 19: DANGEROUS PRECIPICEAnita is kind just like how Doctor Gonzales described her. It was later that day Raquel meet Anita when she paid a visit for the pair. “I was worried when I saw the two of you in the riverbanks. Oh god! I felt like I am going to have a heart attack by the sight of you, Raquel, and Oh! Your wounds!” Anita exclaimed. Her voice is loud, it echoed to the wall, but it was her expression that put ease Raquel’s worry, and fear. She may be old, white hair may lay sprouting on top of her head, but Anita moves as if she were much younger than her age. And Raquel…actually likes here. “I owe you, our life.”It was true. If it isn’t for Anita, Raquel and Eliot may have died, and she couldn’t let that happen, not when she hasn’t found out the truth yet, and the identity of those men. Raquel knew who have may sent those men after them, but she was still unsure, not when it is still not yet confirmed. It could be David, who may have
