The Secret Letter

Chapter 50

Nathalie

I was stunned, amazed, and can't believe that Andrew and Samantha are not real cousins but much worse a couple. A husband and wife?

So, that means our wedding is fake! What is his purpose in doing this to me?

I have so many questions but my tongue is stuck up and doesn't want to speak.

I'm still shocked!

"Wifey, I'm sorry," Andrew said.

"What's the use of that sorry? You lie to me! Why did you do it?" I asked.

"As of now, I cannot tell you the whole truth. But, I'm so sorry for all that I did. I'm sorry wifey!" Andrew answered sincerely.

"Don't call me wifey! I'am not your legal wife. And I'm blinded by the truth. You make me like a fool! But it's good, as I already found the real Father of my twins." I said angrily.

He just smiled and didn't surprise! Did he already?

"I know." He answered sadly.

There's a sadness in his eyes. His face is bitter with regrets. Just hoping that it's for what he did to me.

"You already know? How much do you know? Why do you make me believe that you will sincerely stand for the twins as their Father? Why?" I asked angrily.

I just felt betrayed especially since Samantha is not treating me well. Now, I understand why she's always angry at me. But how could she allow all of this to happen?

I felt that something is going on but I can't guess what it is!

Well, I'am in a relationship with Lance too but we already talk about it from the very beginning that I cannot love him but he pushes me to marry him for the sake of the twins and my dignity. Then, what now? It turned out like this!

"One day we will talk again Nathalie and explain my side to you. But right now is not good timing. You should settle everything first with Lance then we will talk and I will ask for forgiveness once again." Andrew explain but I'm still confused!

I don't even know what is he saying! There's no sense at all as I don't understand or have any clue what it is!

"So, I guess you already know too what I'm going to say next?" I asked.

"Yes, and I will leave this house for your safety," Andrew answered.

I just took a deep breath. He is confusing me.

"Good thing that you understand but what are you saying about my safety?" I asked puzzled.

We've known each other for 6 years and yet I don't even know the Andrew in front of me! Who is he?

"Don't worry Nathalie, I will make sure to protect you!" He promised.

And I just shake my head. I don't understand at all!

"Protect me from what? From whom?" I asked again but was interrupted by the loud knock and banging of the door.

"Open the door, Andrew! Or I will destroy it!" Samantha shouted angrily.

How dare she! It's not even her home. What If I destroy her face instead?

I don't know what's gotten into me, that I think that brutal scene.

But I'm angry and I want to let it out!

Andrew immediately opens his drawer and looks for something in there.

What is he doing?

"Nathalie, make sure that you will give it to Lance! Please, I beg you." Andrew whispers in my ear and put the envelope in my hand.

"What is this?" I asked confused.

"Hide it from Samantha's sight! We need to plan carefully." Andrew answered.

And my confused mind becomes chaotic! We are supposed to talk about our relationship and how he betrayed me for having a legal wife and giving me a fake wedding!

We are supposed to talk to the real Father of the twins and now what happened?

We are supposed to end things between the two of us and cut off the connection that we had.

But it seems wrong! Nothing goes right in this conversation.

I don't know! It's so confusing to me. And what is this letter? Why I should hide it from Samantha? Why?

I might hurt my brain from thinking and my head is aching.

Andrew will not tell me what's going on!

"Okay, but hopefully we can talk about it. We are supposed to talk about our marriage but we end up like this!" I said while looking at the envelope.

"Open it!" Samantha is banging the door using a chair or maybe something hard.

She keeps on banging and pounding using something. It sounds like a chair to me. She will destroy our house? The nerve of her! Where's Lance and Dad? They should throw that bitch away!

"I'm sorry Nathalie that we ended up like this," Andrew said before he open the door.

And I hide the letter inside my pocket.

"What are you two doing?" She asked Andrew with an accusing look.

The hell of this bitch!

"Let's go." Andrew pulled her away but she won't move.

"Are you joking? I need to pack my clothes!" She answered angrily.

"Then, Let's go to your room," Andrew said then pull her again.

But she pushes him away looking at me disgusted.

"Why, Because of this bitch? Tsk, The blind, and innocent Nathalie!" She said laughing.

And my hand is shaking and move on it's on then slap her hard!

"Let's see if you can laugh again!" I said coldly.

"How dare you!" She shouted angrily and was about to attack me.

But I pull her hair and make sure that she will cry in pain.

"Ouch, Get off your hands! Andrew, what are you looking for? Help me!" She shouted angrily.

"I told you that we should go," Andrew answered as if nothing happens.

"You're bullshit! Get off your hands or I will kill you!" She threatened me.

"You will die first!" Daddy arrives with our bodyguards and forcefully takes Samantha away.

"Let me go. I will kill you all!" She threatened again crazily.

"Be sure to throw her far away from here."Daddy told the bodyguards.

"Dad-" Andrew didn't finish what he was about to say as my Dad signal his hand for him to stop.

"Don't! I don't need your explanation. Go away!" He shouted angrily.

My Dad is sick recently and I'm afraid of his health. Aunt Clara is not here to take care of her.

"Just go away, Andrew. Daddy, please calm down." I said while tapping his back.

Andrew immediately walked out the door.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm okay. But where is Lance?" I asked a little annoyed.

Where is he, when I needed him the most?

Oh, I forgot that I told him to go away.

"He is in the twins' bedroom, peacefully sleeping." My Dad smiled while shaking his head.

He is just sleeping while we are in chaos!

Get ready Lance Vergara, I will punish you!

I smile wickedly. And what is happening now? I'm a little bit of-

It's hard to explain but thinking about Lance's face makes me feel hot. Like I'm burning!

This is not good at all.

"Okay Dad, I have something to talk to him about," I answer and leave Andrew's room.

Later on, I will disinfect the whole bedroom and everything!

I reached the twins' room and Kevin is playing while Kenneth is busy with his tablet.

"Where's your uncle Lance?" I asked.

"He's sleeping inside," Kenneth answered not looking at me.

Busy with what?

"Kenneth, are you playing? Don't expose your eyes too much on the screen." I reminded him.

"Don't worry Mom. I'm not playing, just busy doing something." He answered and continue to do what he is doing.

A 6-year-old boy is busy? Sounds funny! But let him be. I need to talk with Lance first. I don't know what's inside this letter.

The Twins have two separate rooms. And Lance is in Kenneth's room. Peacefully sleeping like a baby.

I dive into the bed and still, he didn't wake up!

"Hey sleepy head, wake up! You are just sleeping in here while the house is in chaos." I said while slapping his face gently.

He is so handsome and what I like the most is his brows which are perfectly sculpted. It's dark and thick along with his eyelashes.

It's unfair. His eyes are more beautiful than mine!

I touch his long prominent nose and his kissable lips. And I'm tempted to kiss him!

I kiss him gently afraid that he will wake up but he pulled me close in his embrace and wetness surge out when I felt his hardness calling me!

We continue to kiss when suddenly we heard Kevin shout at the door. I forgot to lock it!

"Ahhh, you're a monster uncle Lance! You eat Mommy!" Kevin is crying.

What an innocent boy of mine! I don't know if I will laugh or what. But Lance couldn't control himself and laughed out loud.

I let go of his embrace and slap his shoulder.

"Why are you laughing? Kevin is crying. Come here, baby. Uncle Lance is not a monster." I said and he comes to me lovingly.

I hug my innocent baby boy and he stops crying.

"Really? But why does he eats you?" He asked innocently.

And I don't know what to say! I look at Lance and signal my eyes to help me. He just laugh more! But I like to see him laughing rather than furrowing his brows.

"Kevin, I just like your Mom's lipstick! It smells good and so I taste it." Lance explain.

And it's a lame excuse! What is he thinking?

"Oh, Mom's lipstick tastes awful! Don't eat it again Uncle Lance." He answered remembering what he did before.

He eat my lipstick as it smells like candy and he cried when he tasted it! It was back in France when he is a 4-year-old baby boy. Thinking of it, I can't stop laughing too.

"What's funny Mommy? You're lipstick taste bad! Don't give it to Uncle Lance again." He sounds like scolding me!

Nevermind! I need to talk to Lance about this letter.

"Don't worry kiddo. I will not eat it again. It tastes bad!" Lance said trying to control his laughter.

"Kevin, you go back outside with Kenneth and play with your toys. We have something important to talk to." I said seriously.

"Okay Mommy, Uncle Lance let's buy a burger later?" He asked with puffy eyes.

That's him when he is trying to ask a favor, especially his favorite one.

"Sure, later we will buy," Lance answered smiling widely.

He is so happy! Will our family, be finally united? Thinking about it, makes me happy too.

"Yehey!" Kevin jumped happily and then run outside the door.

"Did you tell Andrew about the twins and me?" Lance asked seriously.

"Yes, but before I could tell him, he already know! I just don't understand what is he talking about. Instead of talking about our marriage, his mind is floating and keeps on talking about my safety!" I explained.

"What?" Lance was surprised and suddenly stand up walking back and forth.

Why he is acting like this? Everyone seems weird!

"Can you stop walking? I felt dizzy looking at you from back and forth! Sit down, Lance. Before Andrew left, he give me this letter and told me to give it to you. I don't know what's inside that letter! I'm confused too." I said and give the letter to him.

He accepted the letter and read it. He is quiet for a while. And I know that he has already finished reading it! But his mind is blank too like Andrew.

"Lance, Are you okay?" I asked but he didn't answer.

He scratched the paper and he looks like in a rage! There's a fire of anger in his eyes. What is happening here?
