It keeps getting more difficult..
****Bella was standing right at the door, disgust flashing in her eyes. Holy hell! Again my carelessness landed me in trouble.
Bella saw me kissing Liz.. And for sure she’ll let William know about everything if I don’t stop her.
Bella threatening me, that she’ll tell this all to William walked out of the house. I followed her after comforting Liz.. Bella went straight for her car and hoped in, I too jumped inside. Before I could start taking situation under control, she ignited the engine and started driving..
“ Bella listen to me.. What you saw was... Not what you think... Actually she is mentally unstable...” I said...
As soon as I said those Words, she stopped the car at once..
I hated to lie about Liz.
But I have to.. I just hope Liz never finds out about this..
“ what?” she asked perplexed..
“ she is mentally unstable... Actually she lost her brother a few days back.. And she already was suffering from mental disorder. She keeps behaving Like this a lot.. If you remember at the time of our engagement also she was acting weird.. So when you saw me kissing her.. Actually it was her, who was kissing me.. She is a total schizophrenic.. And she is my dad’s wife so I have to take care of her conditions.. If you would have noticed a bit.. Then you would have seen how uncomfortable I was while she was kissing me.. Actually she thought me as my dad.. And did that.. She is not at all stable..”
I lied.. I know Bella.. She is one of those girls who just like to spend their dad’s money and enjoy life.. She hasn’t got any brain.. And for a fact she is elder than liz.. She is of my age.. But brainless.. I know she’d fall for my lies... And exactly that happened... And she has to cause this engagement is important for her..
“ ohh... I’m so sorry Edward I thought you were cheating on me..” she said looking at me..
To everyone she may sound sweet and innocent but she is not.. It’s not me who is cheating but she.. She is the one who is cheating her entire family..
Bella already has a boyfriend, she is just getting married to me to acquire her father’s heritage as her father has already stated that he will only give her the shares in the property if she marries me.. So she decided to get married to me then she’ll run away with her boyfriend with the money..
I too was unaware but Eric got me all this information... And for a matter of fact.. Bella really is stupid cause the one who is his boyfriend is just dating her to grab her money..
“ So you believe me...look please don’t let William.. I mean my dad know about this.. He’ll be heartbroken.. He loves his wife too much.. And he is really worried about her health.. And if he’ll know that she was kissing me.. Then he’ll be hurt..”I said trying to gain her trust and stop her from revealing everything to William...
“ Ohh.. It’s okay Edward.. I won’t say anything to anyone...” she said leaning a little on my side as if trying to kiss me..
Wait doesn’t she has a boyfriend...
But to make it look real that whatever I said I meant each and everything.. I followed her lead and kissed her hard.. To make her believe in my lies.. Though I was absolutely cheating on liz.. But I don’t have any option.. .
“ I wanna see you tonight..” Bella said after kissing me.. I felt disgusted... What kind of woman is she..? Has she got no morals.?. She is relationship with another man.. And then she wants me also..? Disgusting.. But I could not say anything.. So I played along.. And then she dropped me back to the villa though we weren’t that far..
When I got inside Liz was sitting on the couch.. Worries engulfing her fragile frame..
I walked up to her.. And lied down on her lap.. It almost felt heaven.. And when instead of asking me anything she started caressing my scalp with her fingers.. My heart exploded with love for her..
I revealed her each and everything without leaving any details..
Except the chat with Bella..
She panicked a bit.. Which was expected.. After telling her everything I felt burden less..
I was holding her tight in my embrace and was basking in her love and care when all of a sudden Eric called me.. Disturbing our affectionate moment.. If it was anyone else I would have ignored the call.. But Eric, it is definitely something important..may be he found something about daisy.. That’s why be was calling me..
I answered the call immediately..
“ come over here.. I have got something to show you... Right now... I’m sending you the address.. Be here as soon as possible..”
And then he disconnected the call..
I told Liz that I have to go cause I wasn’t sure but the way Eric spoke it felt like he got a clue about my mom..
So I left from there instantly after promising her to come back.
I reached the place which Eric send me over the message..
It was an old cottage.. In the outskirts of the city.. I reached here after driving straight for two hours..
As I reached inside the cottage.. It was dirty.. Dried leaves on the ground.. Dirt scattered every where.. Spider webs.. Broken furniture..
Bloody hell.. Why did he called me here..
As I reached inside a bit more.. I saw Eric standing , with a woman beside him on a wheelchair..
Mom.. .. He found her.. I ran towards her.. And hugged her.. She still was paralyzed.. But thank god she was okay.. William didn’t harmed her as much as I thought..
“ how did you find her..?”
I asked Eric..
“ Dude.. It was not that easy but being your father’s driver for several years.. I almost know all his places where he hides his illegal activities..but now is not the time to wonder about how I found this or anything else we need to take her away from here.. May be first we should take her to a doctor.. And one more thing man.. Just keep pretending all along that.. You still haven’t got any clue about your mom in front of William..”
Wait.. What?.. Why.. Does he not want me to let William know about this..
“ why did you say that..?” I asked bemused..
“ if you don’t want anyone else to be the target then do as I say.. Cause buddy if he got to know then he’ll use another weapon to blackmail you.. And I highly doubt that this time it’ll be Liz.. So for now just pretend it like this.. And I’ll take care of the rest.. William never comes to visit here.. One of his man whom he gave in charge of this work is my friend.. So that’s how I got to know about it. So I’ll keep it covered up for you.. While you present the bigger picture..” Eric explained it all..
I more than thankful to him .. Words cannot explain how much I’m Grateful to him..
He really is nicest person I have ever met.. He is too selfless and loving..
“ thanks man.. You don’t have any idea how much you have done for me.. I’m so so grateful to you..” I said tapping his shoulder..
“ No need man.. Just keep her safe... And promise that you’ll free her from William’s evil grip..” Eric said.. Giving a little smile..
I really don’t like the way he talks about Liz.. I know he has a soft corner for her.. But damn man.. I’m way too jealous.. I don’t like any other man even mentioning about her.. I know Eric has been a lot of help but if he dare try to take her away from me, I’ll kill him in a heartbeat..
Ignoring his replies.. I started walking out of the cottage taking mom with me.. I need to take her to hospital first and at the same time I have to hide her from William..
But as soon as we stepped out of the cottage my phone pinged.. I thought it may be Liz.. So I took out my phone from my pocket to see her message... But no.. It was not a message from Liz.. But the message that I got was..... Horrific.. How the hell did it happened..? I need to leave now.. Before it’s too late..
Asking Eric in a rushed manner to take mom to the hospital.. And take care of her.. I ran away.. Without even bothering to explain him anything.. He was calling from behind.. Asking me to tell him the reason.. But I can’t be late.. I can’t loose it right now.. I know I can trust him with mom.. So I left mom with Eric.. Cause right now.. I need to be there.. Before it’s too late....
