Semua Bab THE CHARISMATIC MRS. BELMONT; BACK FOR REVENGE : Bab 31 - Bab 40

ALICIA "Is Dad going to take us for ice-cream?" Kai asked as I stepped into the kitchen with a bag of groceries. I paused midway, my fingers gripping the bag much tighter, my throat tighter as I felt my heart jump into my throat. I walked past him, placing the paper bag on the marble counter."Well," I started, the words refusing to come forth as soon as I opened my mouth. I turned around slowly, my hands gripping the hem of my shirt tightly as I lowered myself to his height.It was getting to the end of the three months temporal arrangement and deep down, I somehow felt bad for everything, not just for the kid's but how we had ended this on bad talking terms.I tried to find the right words to answer Kai, but my tongue felt heavy and everything I wanted to say came out jumbled and confused until I just stopped and looked at the floor. Aunt Darla stepped into the kitchen just in time and gave me a knowing look before turning to the twins with a bright smile. “How about you two come o

KILLIAN"I want flowers sent to Mrs Bel– I mean Miss Alicia's office." I corrected myself, a sharp regret running through my me as I remembered how I had thrown at her in that cold prison cell. The more I remembered, the more I wanted her. To make it up to her.I tapped my pen against my cheek momentarily and smiled. "Mr Belmont?" I shook my head slightly, a smirk slowly bursting through the corner of my lips."Yes, Darcy," I cleared my throat, "The flowers to Mrs Alicia's office, what kind of flowers should they be, sir?" She asked, her voice strained with exhaustion."Tell me Darcy, what do women like these days?" I asked, clasping my hands together over the desk in front of me."Roses." She started, her eyes lighting up with joy. I smiled, nodding gently."Dinner dates, jewelry, perfumes, thoughtful gifts... sir." she immediately added and I raised my hand."Have all those in my schedule for tomorrow, especially the dinner date." I said and she nodded.I leaned back in my leathe

ALICIA"I turned in the results of our examination this morning." I shut the door behind me, my fingers gripping the file in my hands tighter. "And this is the physical report." I added, lowering the file to the desk. I turned around to leave but paused on my tracks.It was odd that she had said anything since I walked in. That was unlikely of her."Are...are you okay?" I squinted my eyes at her as I headed back to her desk but as soon as I turned around, I shuddered as her eyes were right on my form."Take a seat Alicia." She said, calmly. I hesitated for a moment, my head ringing a loud warning in my head but despite the signs, I decided to sit anyway."This is about the twins." She started and I groaned. I had expected this topic and sitting down felt like a threat but I didn't have a choice."You are getting oddly familiar with a man who tried to lock you away half a decade ago, Alicia." Aunt Darla said, her voice stern but softly.I felt my heart stop for a split second and my br

ALICIA"Are...are you Maya?" I asked, my voice cracking as I moved away, my hands as a support against the ground. I paused my eyes lowering to the picture my shaky hands were struggling to hold on to."It–it's not possible." I whispered, my voice coming off more of gasps than words. It couldn't be, she couldn't be Maya.I stumbled back and stared at Jade's face, my gaze examining her features. I moved away from her on the cold floor, my hands feeling weak as they pressed against the tiles for support, because the weight of what I was seeing was too much for my body to handle. I looked down at the picture again, my shaky fingers struggling to even hold onto the small piece of paper as I felt a sharp pain in my chest that made every breath feel like I was inhaling something toxic. "It—it’s not possible," I whispered, the words coming out as small gasps rather than actual sounds as I tried to make sense of the girl in the photo and the woman sitting in front of me. It couldn't be tr

ALICIA"Wait... What does this mean?" I asked, my voice shaky. I watched the grainy video again, my eyes refusing to believe what I saw on the screen in front of me."Alicia..." Zach called out softly, a hand landing on my shoulder gently. I cleared my throat and turned around, the question in my head finding hard to form in my mouth, my tongue forgetting how to turn thoughts into actual words. "Did you kno–" I paused halfway, the words turning to ash in my mouth. I cleared my throat slightly, focusing my attention on his face."Where did you get this video?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. His gaze shifted to the video then back to my face, hesitant as his lips parted and returned to being pressed into a thin line."How did you get this video?" I asked again, my voice slightly higher. He moved closer, his hand gently landing on my shoulder. "A guy I know hacked the security camera's cloud storage six years ago, after you had been released and since the court had declared
