I walk round the garden, taking in the fine fragrances of the flowers, trying to calm my nerves but it doesn’t seem to work.
My mind keeps going back to the way Ian held Aurora’s hand,,,the note I saw in her room comes back to my mind too.
“Sir, are you going to let your brother take her away too?” My assistant asked me.
I didn’t reply, I simply sigh and picked a withering rose flower.
“The gardeners aren’t doing a good job!” I said.
“I will see to it later”
I nod.
I continue staring at the flowers.
“Sir, about doctor Aurora, aren’t gonna do anything. That was how you lost Phoebe to the General too!”
I glared at him and he shuts his mouth immediately,,,I might not be a stone face like my brother.
But we have one thing in common, when we get angry we are unstoppable, we can do unimaginable things,,so it’s better you stay away from us.
“I’m not gonna fight with my brother, I’ll ask Aurora, if she doesn’t love me I will let her go and I will be happy to be her friend”
Also, I need to find out why she came here under disguise.
“But you love her, sir!”
“What was never meant to be, can never be,,, no matter how hard you try to push it!”
“But,,,, ”
“I don’t wanna hear a word of this anymore,, I’m gonna somewhere,, don’t follow me!”
Even if my brother has fallen in love with Aurora, I have to make walk sure he’s not walking into any danger.
Aurora’s motive is unknown for now,,, I must confirm it.
|| Aurora ||
“Come, son, sit let’s eat!” Mrs Morgan ushered Ian.
Just when he was about to sit down, I pulled his arm and smile overly bright.
“Baby, aren’t you gonna pull out a chair for me?” In said in an oh, sweet voice.
He stares at me with a frown, I wink and gestures at the chair.
His gaze right now is saying “I’m so gonna kill you” but I don’t care,,,, I mean when have I ever care about anything.
He pulls out a chair and I sit down.
“Thanks, baby!” I kssed his cheek and I see him stilled for a minute or so.
“Ahem!” He clears his throat. “Welcome” grimace and sits next to me.
I look around the table, my mouth watered at the amount and sweet aroma of the food.
I quickly pick up the spoon place in front of me and serve myself a plate of rice,,,, but I halt when Ian grip my thigh and pinch me so hard.
I bite my lower lip to stop any sound from coming out.
“Angel,,, I think that rice is enough for you” he smiles at me, his hand still not leaving my thigh. “remember you are a well mannered lady!” He said the last part through gritt teeth.
I frown,,, I don’t remember telling him I’m a well mannered lady. Then like a light bulb turn on, I remember the role I’m playing.
I quickly turn back to Ian’s Mom, a sarcastic smile on my face.
“Mom,,, wait I can call you Mom right?”
She hesitate.
“I,,,you,,, Mom?” She asked.
“Thanks Mom!” I said even though she haven’t said yes yet.
“I’m sorry,,, please don’t mind my manners,,, it’s just I didn’t have the chance to eat last night because Ian didn’t let me rest last night,,,, we did it all night!”
I hear Ian choke on his spit,,, he starts coughing non-stop.
I smirk,,,, humph! Try to deprive me of my right of eating?
“You did what?!” His Mom asked.
“We did,,,,” ian slaps his hand on my mouth.
He smiles at me, his eyes daring me to speak one more word.
“Angel, you don’t need to tell Mom that!”
I lick his palm with my tongue and he quickly removes it from my mouth.
“Gross!” He exclaims and start wiping it with a serviette.
I turn back to his Mom.
“Mom, Ian and I were up all night,,,, we hardly got any sleep early this morning”
“Y-you mean,,, you and Ian,,, y-you,,, y-you,,,, ”
I almost laugh at mrs Morgan’s speechlessness.
I glanced at Ian, he’s glaring at me,, I giggle.
He throws his spoon on the table and stands up.
“Mom, we will all have dinner together,,, my girlfriend is tired and she needs rest”
“I’m not tired, love. Let’s sit and eat with Mom”
I see his Mom nod.
“No, angel, you are tired and you talk too much when you are tired, now come, I’ll tuck in”
“But my sweet love, I,,,,, ”
“Ok! That’s it!” He bends down and carry the chair with me still sitting on it.
“Ian, what are you doing?” His Mom asked.
“I’m taking her to her room”
“With the chair?” She asked.
“Yeah! It’s fun this way!”
I hold on to the chair very tight, scared that I might fall.
“I-ian, can you put me down?”
He ignores me and continue walking.
Soon, we arrive at my door, he puts the chair down roughly and I almost fall.
He looks at his wrist watch.
“You were bad just now, but I’m not gonna punish you now. I will send for you later!”
He turns and start walking away.
“Where are you going?”
“My company! Not that it’s your business!”
I huffed. Damn billionaires,,, always arrogant!
I put the chair aside, later I’mma return it. I open my door and step into my room.
I walk right into a hard surface, I groan.
Since when do I have a wall in front of my door,,, I raise my head and see Javier.
My mood lifted.
“Javier! How is your fever?” I asked as I reach out to check his temperature.
He removes my hand and that’s when I saw his face,,, he doesn’t look happy, in fact, he look angry.
“Javier, what’s wrong? What are you doing here?”
“What am I doing here? I think that should be my line!” He said angrily.
I frown.
“Huh?” What’s wrong with him.
“Who are you? And why did you come to my brother’s mansion under a disguise?”
What?!
Oh, no! Why is he asking me this? Did he find anything suspicious about me?
Or is my acting not good enough,,,,he saw through me?
Anyhow,,,I can’t admit it.
“What do you mean who am I, I’m Aurora Grace Cox of course,,,,and if I remember correctly, your brother invited me here to treat his deceased fiancee initially”
He scoffs as if he doesn’t believe me.
“You are lying! Tell me who you are and what your mission here is!”
“I don’t know what you are talking about, I don’t have any mission”
He looks at me blankly for a moment, then shakes his head. He reach into his jacket’s pocket and bring out a piece of paper.
He throws it at me.
“Then how do you explain this?!”
I open the paper and my world collapse.
No,,this can’t be happening. I thought I kept it inside my bag,,,how did it manage to fall into Javier’s hands.
“T-this,,,, Javier,,,, I,,,,”
“Better start talking, not just talk, tell me the truth or this will get to my brother, and you know when that happens, things will get really ugly for you!”
There is no way I can lie out if this,,,but can I trust him with my secret?.
I sigh.
I guess I have no choice now,,,, maybe if I plead with him, he won’t tell it to his brother.
“Ok, I can tell you but please promise you won’t tell Ian about it”
“I’m not making any promises, not until I know what I’m promising!”
I nod and take a deep breath.
“Let’s sit down then”
“No! Speak!”
Wow! I didn’t know Javier got some action in him too.
“Well, let’s start with my real name. I’m Phoebe Grace Henderson! I’m an orphan and I,,,,,”
“Wait!” He cuts me off.
He looks at me with narrowed eyes.
“What did you say your real name is?”
“Phoebe Grace Henderson!”
“Phoebe?!”
“Yes!”
He frowns.
“Did your parents worked here ten years ago?!”
I nod.
“You are Phoebe?”
I nod again but he shakes his head and grab my neck, blocking my air passage.
“You. Are. Lying!” He growled.
I shake my head desperately as I can’t speak, he lets go of my neck.
I gasp for air and coughs.
“Prove to me that you are not lying”
“How?” I asked.
“Tell me something about me that only Phoebe and I knew when we were kids”
I scoff.
“You walked in on your dad doing it with his mistress!”
He stares at me with his mouth wide open, he look so speechless.
Then I found myself in a very tight hug.
“Oh my God! It’s really you! After so many years! Where did you go? Why did you left without any trace? Do you know how worried we were when we couldn’t find you?”
I managed to break free from his tight hold.
“Javier, I didn’t mean to leave, I was forced to and me surviving was God’s mercy” I told him.
“Wait,,, so you recognize me all this time you’ve been here?”
“Well, I didn’t recognize you when I saw you at the coffee shop, but after I saw you here,,,, my memory of you came back.
You kinda change though,,, you look so different from kid Javier!”.
His ears turn red.
“Then why didn’t you tell me who you are when you recognize me?!”
“I was scared”
“Scared? Why?”
“I thought if I tell you who I was, you’d tell your brother and he would send me out of the mansion”
“What?! Why would he send you out,,, he will be thrilled,,, do you know how long Ian has been looking for you?!
Do you know how much he has suffered without you all these years?!”
I shake my head and fall on my bed.
“I don’t know Ian,,, he isn’t the one I wanted to look for me”
“Why?”
“The one I waited for is not Ian,,, the one whose name I called at night for five years isn’t Ian,,, the one I loved and was hoping would come and save me isn’t Ian”
Javier look at me in confusion.
“What are you talking about Aurora?”
“Where is Dean? Where is Dean I haven’t seen him anywhere in the mansion,,,, is he dead?”.
“You have seen Dean and he is very alive!”
“Oh?” I look around. “Where is he,,,, cause I can’t find him anywhere!”
Javier walk towards my bed and sit next to me.
“Aurora,,, no Phoebe, Ian and Dean are the same person!”
I stand up abruptly.
“What do you mean?!”
“I mean, Ian is Dean and Dean is Ian!”
“Huh? How?”
“His full name is, Ian Dean Morgan!”
I freeze in my spot.
So he mean the General is Dean,,,, my Dean?
“You mean General Ian is Dean?”
“Yes!”
So,, I have been with Dean for the past days?
“B-but he didn’t tell me his name is Ian”
“That’s because he didn’t tell you his full name”
Javier is right,,, I barely see Dean in the mansion. The few times I see him, I just call him Dean and none of the and servants around dare call him by his name.
He only gave me the right to call him Dean.
“Ian never stopped looking for you Phoebe,,, you are the reason he refused other ladies all these years. He’s being hoping to meet you” Javier said.
“Dean is Ian and Ian is Dean!” I repeat.
“You should let him know you are here”
“No! I won’t, the Dean I knew is long dead to me”
