Chapter 36

Dean

We sat outside on the patio; I could see the way Rea was looking at Layla. Her eyes were searching.

“Oh, wait I remember, Mal you were getting married right? Did you guys get married”? Layla asked.

“Yes, we got married, you were there, so was everyone. Dean was best man, and you were maid of honour”. Mallory said

“Then where are your wedding pictures”? Layla asked

“Layla don’t push yourself to remember everything”. I said looking at her.

“Fine. How did I end up here with you guys”? she asked

“Okay I think that’s enough questions for now Layla, you just got back give it some time”. Andrew said looking at her.

“But I’m fine. I am, I just feel like I’m missing a lot because I can’t remember”. She said quietly.

“Maybe it’s best this way Layla, maybe remembering might not do much good but may cause your health to Deteriorate”. Rea said

“Maybe” Layla said smiling at her.

From where I was sitting, I could see Rea and the way she was sitting. She kept trying to touch Aleck, but he kept moving. She was going all out. Layla, Nella and Chris were talking about the island. I saw Mallory looking at me with raised eyebrows, so I looked towards Rea and Aleck and then looked under the patio table.

She looked where I was looking and saw it. She stood up and grabbed Rea and pulled her into the kitchen.

“What’s going on? Where are they going”? Nella asked

“I’m not sure” I said

Layla

Even though I was talking to Chris and Andrew I was still looking at her. I looked and saw it. The table was glass everyone could see it but maybe she didn’t realize we could see it if we watched them. I wasn’t worried about it because I knew Aleck, when they say something, they mean it. I figured Mal saw that’s why she took her into the kitchen.

They came back ten minutes later and didn’t say anything. Mallory sat back down but Rea didn’t.

“Aleck, can I talk to you for a minute”, she asked him.

“Now”? he asked

“Yes, it’s important please” she said trying to sound cute, he stood up and walked into the house and she followed him. The minute they disappeared around the corner, Mallory, Nella, Chris and Andrew went into the house. Dean sat looking at me.

“Aren’t you going to follow them”? I asked him, as I stretched my hand out and fondled him through his jeans. He groaned and grabbed my hand.

“I don’t need to, they’ll tell me. Beside I can have fun with you”, he said as he slid his hand up my thigh and under my dress.

“Dean, someone can walk out any moment”. I said

“I can see them before they see us”, he said as he sank his finger into me. “Oh god”.

“You’re already wet princess” he said as he added a second finger. “Dean” I whispered breathlessly. suddenly he pulled away from me and stood up. I saw Mallory and the others coming. He walked into the house as the others came and took their seats.

“She just literally confessed her love for Aleck, and she said that they could be together. Aleck told her that nothing changes even if you never remember there is no chance for anyone else in his life. She got mad and left”. Mallory said

Rea

She doesn’t remember that was good for me. But she will eventually. I needed to speak to Macy. I got into my car and left. He chose to still ignore my feelings for him. That was the only reason I tutored him back in college because I was in love with him. I was always good and kind and hoped he would see that, I made myself into the perfect woman of what I thought he wanted, all along in reality, he wanted her. I lied saying I knew he was in love with that bitch.

The morning, when they told us they were together I cried in my apartment, I was so heartbroken and gutted. Why did they love her? Why her. What was so special about her? I should have fucking killed her, but Mallory came at the same time. Fuck. Doesn’t matter, I’ll get rid of her. If only I could find out who the stalker was. If I knew maybe I could use them to get rid of her for me and my hands would be clean.

I knew what to do, I couldn’t help but smile. I had just the right Idea on what to do to her. I grabbed my phone from my bag and dialled the number. He would handle it; I’ll need to watch her first and be careful. I need to get rid of her before she remembers anything.

Aleck


She was fucking insane, she dragged me inside to ask me if I thought about what she said. When I said no, she basically professed her love, what the fuck. I headed back outside and passed Dean. He stooped and looked at me. So, I told him what happened with Rea. We headed back outside and sat with the others, I told them what happened and no surprise they followed us.

“I didn’t think she would be so bold” Andrew said

“When I took her into the kitchen, I asked her what the hell was she doing touching Aleck like that. She said, in her words verbatim ‘What I’m shooting my shot, don’t tell me you wouldn’t have done that too. It’s Dean and Aleck who wouldn’t want to be with either of them”.

“I asked her how she could do that knowing fully well that the three of you are in a relationship. She said at this moment that you’re not because Layla doesn’t remember that means you’re free for the taking. That I should just shut up and mind my own business to go back to my second choice of a husband and stop bothering her”, Mallory said looking at us.

“She said that to you”? I asked her

“Yes, she did, that’s why I came back and didn’t say anything”.

I looked at Layla. “She’s not coming back to this house, this is done, this game that you want to play with her ends right now. We’ll deal with her ourselves. No arguing Layla” I said, she looked like she wanted to say something but I saw Mallory touch her.

“Okay”, she answered quietly.

I got up and headed inside. Once in the office I called Deigo.

“Boss”

“Keep tabs on Rea Kingsley. Her phone everything”.

“Yes boss”.

The others left later that evening after dinner. She was sitting outside on the patio quietly. I went and sat next to her. “Where’s Dean”?

“I don’t know he left saying he needed to prepare something”.
