บททั้งหมดของ THE MASK: A Twin's Disguise: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

LORE I was busy trying to finish up something when my phone rang with Hillary's name flashing on the screen, she was speaking fast until i asked her to breathe and slow down. Apparently, there was a mad driver who almost hit her and Mona. My heart almost tore out of my chest at the mention of my wife being in danger, then she said there seemed something off about the whole situation and my brain went on high alert. "That's the thing Lore," Hillary speaks with her voice surrounded by shock and fear. "I don't think it was by accident, that car was really aiming for Mona." I run my hand over my face as I walk to the glass window in my office with my shoulders tense, I feel like someone is weighing me down by putting bricks on them. "Are you sure?" "A hundred percent, Lore." "How's Mona?" Hillary says she isn't hurt but that doesn't tune down the worry I feel right now. "She's just shaky but don't worry about her too much, I'm taking her home. I didn't tell her my suspic

LISA Finally, there's news about Mona, street cameras showed a blue and red bike with a tiger dented on the side, the exact description of the type of bike Asah saw Mona get on the day she ran away from her own wedding. Turns out, they're a very notorious motorcycle club. They're also suspects in female prostitution, robbery and drugs distribution, the police have never found any solid evidence on them, that's why they are still roaming around freely. This information makes me more worried and nervous, what if he's forced her into prostitution. The thought alone has bile rising up my throat. Damnit, Mona. The fact that we know these people's information is enough for uncle to do a private investigation himself, we need to keep outside people away from this as much as possible. Aunt Mandy is a government detective, her involvement will make things easy because of her resources, so her and uncle are doing everything they can without pulling in the government. My phone pings, I ope

LORE Pain, Betrayal. Those are the two feelings that hit me the most as I look at the woman who means the world to me in another man's arms. "What the-" Mona's body turns rigid at the sound of my voice. She uses force to push him away and they break apart. Silas doesn't look the least bothered, if anything, he seems even glad that I found them. My wife on the other hand, has fear engraved deep inside her blue eyes. "Lore," she pants. "It's not what you think." I bark out a bitter laugh that has her flinching. I point between the two of them. "Yeah, it sure isn't," I say sarcastically. "My wife was up against the wall eating faces with another man and it's not what I think." She shakes her head with tears running down her cheeks, my eyes go to her lips and her red lipstick is smeared, my lips twisted in disgust. "I didn't kiss him back, I was trying to push him away, I swear." My eyes find Silas, he meets me head in with his, accomplishment shining in them. Before I can sto

LISA My eyes snap Silas's face, but his are fixed on Mona. "Silas!" the witch warns. "You're being rude by insinuating they are liars." "I'm not," he keeps his smile in place, which annoys me further. "Just wondering why she would sign a contract with the start date as her sister's wedding day. I mean, she's the duke's daughter, what was the rush anyway?" "That's none of your business, Silas." I say, but he doesn't look at me. He's solely focused on Mona. "Your lordship," he turns to Lore. "I think your wife's family are full of secrets." He smiles then looks at me with amusement in his eyes. "Right, uhm?" He acts as if trying to remember what name to call me. "Lisa? Oh! Mona." "Enough!" Papa slams his hand on the table. "You will not come to my house and disrespect my family. Now, I'll politely ask you to leave." He addresses Silas. Without looking the least bit offended, Silas smiles and stands. Lore is awfully quiet. I steal a quick glance at him and he looks deep in though

LISAI enter my old room and realize that I'm crying. I wipe the tears away and sit on the edge of the bed.Does everyone think that way too? Maybe they're just afraid to voice it out.The door opens and Silas steps in. I abruptly stand and square my shoulders. "What are you doing here?""There's no need to be hostile towards me, Lisa-""Don't call me that." I cut him off.He sighs."Fine. I honestly think you're being unfair towards me. I don't think i deserve all this hostility from you. For God's sake, Lisa, we were very good friends, more than friends, and i don't deserve how you treat me."I look at him and see pain flash in his eyes, so i soften myself a little. "Sai.. you mean a lot to me."His head snaps up and his eyes meet mine."You called me Sai.."I briefly close my eyes. The last thing i want is to give him false hope. I know he'll bring himself to believe that just because Mona is back."Does that mean that we-"He steps forward and reaches for my hand."No." I shake
