CHAPTER 42
ELIOT HUNTER POV
“I’ll take my wife.” Suddenly, a man entered the house and approached Analine who was in the living room while sitting in her wheelchair and looking in shock at the man approaching her.
“I miss you wife.” He said and kissed Ana directly on the lips, I was confused to approach them before pulling the man away from Ana, but I don’t think that man kissing Ana is what I don’t know.
“What’s happening? and what do you think you’re doing for kissing analine in front of me?” I asked but he suddenly kicked me in the stomach but I didn’t feel any pain because I knew it was weak, just enough to get away from him before he came next to ana.
“She’s my wife that’s why it’s normal to kiss her.” He answered without emotion, so I look at Ana who can’t look at me.
“What does he mean?” I asked Ana confusely.
“It’s true his my husband.” She said directly and I could see the guilty in her expression.
“I’m Chase Rhys Ephraim, old brother of Iris.” The man’s introduction earlier but I wasn’t paying attention to that other than what they said so I couldn’t help but get angry.
“All these years, you made me like a fool?!” I said firmly while my fists were clenched in anger, and my speech was hard and full of anger looking at the two people in front of me.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“I’m s-sorry… s-sorry if I had to pretend that I love you all these years passed, but believe me when I gave birth and I was in a coma it was all true, it’s just I need to help Rhys for his sister to be safe.” She said weakly while trembling as she held the hand of the sister of the woman I left alone in the church years ago.
“DAMN!!! SO EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AT THE BAR WHEN WE FIRST MET ISN’T TRUE? BECAUSE IT WAS ALL MY HALLUCINATIONS? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME ANALINE!!! I FUCKING TRUSTED YOU, I EVEN LEAVE IRIS JUST FOR YOU! I EVEN THOUGHT ANASTASIA IS MY FUCKING DAUGHTER BUT YOU DECEIVE ME!!” I screamed angrily and I couldn’t control myself to slap her but Rhys held my hand tightly while Analine closed her eyes.
“Try to hurt my wife, I’ll make sure that my sister will never be with you again.” With his cold voice while holding my hand tightly but I was not hurt.
“I just came here to get my wife and daughter back, and to explain to you.” He said the next thing and let go of my hand so that my two shoulders fell down before all the pain I suffered from the woman I left alone without any fault came back.
“When you and your friends were at the bar, everything was already planned, even your friends already knew what was going to happen that day, I don’t want my wife to be involved in the plan but it is necessary because my sister is dependent on I don’t want to lose my sister.” I was just listening to what he said while Analine was still sitting in the wheel chair while silently crying.
“Your friend lucas, put a drug medicine to your wine, at that time I was watching you from afar looking at Ana, my wife, I really want to hit you because I should be the only one who can look at my wife, don’t you know that I want to bury you because you kissed my wife on the forehead while you were with her since she woke up , when she was in coma? I should be the only one doing it, but the game between me and Cleopard is about to end, so my wife and daughter will be taken back by me.” Because of what he said, I couldn’t say anything because of the secrets he revealed in the past year.
“Cleopard is a psychopath, since he and Iris were just children, when I discovered that all the men who came close to my sister in Greece, he killed them secretly, and when they were of the right age, dad planned to engage both of them together , but Iris ran away from Greece and I breathed a sigh of relief there but I thought everything was over there, but it wasn’t yet because Cleopard followed Iris here in the Philippines so I couldn’t do anything but run away from Greece and follow every cleopard’s move.” He explained.
“Cleopard became so obsessed to the point that he tried to kill you several times but I was always able to stop it with the help of your friends.”
“He even plans to build an orphanage named petals orphanage, because he knows Iris loves children.”
“On the day of your wedding, I myself ordered Analine to show up at the church at that time because Cleopard planned to blow up the whole church, because he wanted nothing to benefit my sister if it didn’t go to her.”
“I know if he had a greater chance of getting my sister, but everything will not end when Iris returns to Greece and gives birth to your son, Elias Duke, because Cleopard thinks that he will be the father of your child, I let him as long as he doesn’t hurt my sister, but the time came when Iris had to return to the Philippines because of her business here, but Cleopard still stalked her because he thought Iris would come back to you.”
“But after a week that Iris is here in the Philippines, My niece Elias followed her, here with my father’s permission, I was also caught by the former because on that day I heard that my wife woke up from a coma, and that was also the day you are the one who collided with your child.” Because of the last thing he said, it felt like my world fell because I was the one who collided my own son.
“D-don’t tell m-me that I killed my own child?” I asked him trembling.
“No, that’s not what you think because when you left without even looking at what you crashed into, Cleopard was there, when Cleopard took your son to the hospital, he knew that you and Iris would get into trouble so he did something, clone of my nephew to make it appear dead.”
“I just discovered all of that, so you have to make an agreement with us to get your daughter back from Cleopard possession and my sister returned to Italy to marry a man who is a psychopath, even though I don’t want to marry my sister to you, nothing I can do it especially since you two have children.”
“My daughter Anastasia well be here later because I know that cleopard got my sister and he will return Anastasia here because he thought Iris won’t no longer go back to you.” Because of what he said, I immediately spoke
“What do I have to do to prevent Iris from ending up with cleopard?” I asked him.
“It’s simple, I know that when Iris returns to Cleopard, he will immediately propose to her, so on the day of their wedding, we will take my niece in Japan where Cleopard sent it to be away from Iris because Iris knows that her son are dead and I know that Cleopard also intends to kill my nephew because all he wants is my sister.” I came back to my trance when the door of the church suddenly opened and the woman I love so much appeared there.
I couldn’t help but tears fell from my eyes when I saw her beauty, when she was still looking at me in wonder to change her gaze. he looked at everyone in the church until he stopped looking at our son in a wheelchair who was smiling and looking at his mother who started to cry and was also looking at him. My son signaled Iris to walk closer to me while playing the song “On This Day By David Pomeranz” I cant believe that she is still the woman who will be mine until the end, I can see her crying while walking at the aisle and straight looking at me, standing in front waiting for her.
“I can’t believe you’re really mine forever.” When I heard the lyrics of that song, I couldn’t believe that she was mine forever. It hurts me every time I remember the time I left her alone inside the church just for the wrong woman, I can’t believe that she is still the last woman I will marry when the time comes, despite all the trials it is still destiny made a way for the two of us to be together again.
“I’ve been rehearsing for this moment all my life.”
