Chapter 39 THE HIDEOUT

"Good Morning," I greeted my parents and Hera who started eating. I sat beside Hera and one of the maids handed me a cup of coffee.

We are in the garden, this is our spot every morning because dad believed that the morning should start with a fun and presentable breakfast.

Clingy isn't it?

"Do you know what happened to Kyla?" Dad asked which stopped us. The way he asked it is like I am the only one he asked.

But still, I hope daddy will say good news. For example, Kyla is dead, that's not just good news, but super-duper good news. I was really waiting for that news today. I can't wait and I am so excited about the result.

"Why, what happened to her?" I asked while biting bacon. I'm really the best actress and of course as if really I don't know what happened.

"Vince had an accident with her. The car loses the break and Vince crashed his car into another car. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Except for Kyla who had her leg stuck. She is in a wheelchair now," Dad explained.

Ow! so she is still alive, well that's definitely bad news.

"Ley," dad called me so I look at him. "When you came from vacation Kyla was in the hospital but you didn't visit her. Now she's in the hospital again. Won't you still not visit her?" Dad asks. The way he asked I feel there is a threat or a suspicion behind those questions. Maybe if he wasn't my father, all my hair would stand every time he spoke.

The way he talked you will feel that he is the guy who doesn't know how to joke. That's why I used to be sensible when Hunter and I were still together because he would definitely be killed by daddy if I reported him. I wish I had just destroyed him then and tell dad everything.

But fucking love is this, I can't hurt him even though I was almost killed myself.

"Yes, I'll visit her later in her wake. I will bring her the most precious flower for her funeral."

"Ley," mommy said softly but I just smiled at her.

"Her father and I are best buddies," dad said and continue. "Everything I have he also has. What mine is him, and what is him is mine. So when I got married he also got married and our wife got pregnant at the same time. We also asked that if our children will be of the opposite gender then we will get them married. But both of you became women so we imprinted on your mind that you will be close friends just like us."

Dad looks at me seriously.

Fine, I am a bad friend, a friendship wrecker, I snatched her fiance, and I hurt her.

"The case is Hailey fall in love with Kyla's fiance. Hailey really started their trouble." Hera said as if I wasn't in front of her.

I glared at her but she just smiled at me.

I admitted that I had made a mistake. but as I said it's ok if I'm the one who's hurt. They would not have touched my baby.

"That's enough and everything has happened. Ley, how's the finality of your annulment?" I shrugged at Dad's question. I don't know what happened so I don't know how to answer him. All I know is we were just annulled.

"All I know it's been endorsed by Solgen dad. We'll just see if it's ok for them to be attached the file to the NSO."

"Fine," he replied simply.

"Sir, someone is looking for Miss Ley." The maid interrupts as we all looked at her.

"Who?" dad asked.

"Mister Eugene Taylor." I raised my eyebrow at what the maid said. They looked straight at me.

"Eugene Taylor, The Mayor's son?" Dad asked while looking at me.

I nod and smile.

What could be the problem with him and he came here early morning?

"Is the Mayor's son flirting with you?" I raised my eyebrow at dad's question.

"He just visited and you assumed that we were flirting?" I also asked him.

"In our era, when a man visits a woman, he is already flirting," Mommy said and drink her coffee while looking at dad.

"In your era, Mom. When a man looks at you, you immediately assume that he likes you." Hera laughed at what I said but not mommy and daddy.

"Wait, I'll find out what he needs and he came here early. Maybe that is something important." I stood up to go to Eugene.

While approaching him. I saw him smiling at me while leaning on his car.

"Oh! what are you doing here?" but instead of answering me, he then pulled me and open the back of his car.

"I'll show you something." I still couldn't answer when he pushed me to get in.

"Wait, I'm wearing a robe." With nighties inside to be exact.

But he ignored me and took me with him. This is kidnapping.

"No time." He immediately closed the car door and went to the passenger seat. Then I noticed that William is in the driver's seat. "Go ahead Will." He commands his brother.

"Do you want me to hit the back of the car 'bro?" William asked.

"Hey!!----" I was about to shout at him, but Eugene interrupts me.

"If you don't want me to choke you first, leave now," William smirked at what Eugene said.

I set like a queen in the back while Will looks like he wants to eat me every time I look at him in the rearview mirror.

Until we stop in a vacant lot with a single house afar. There is a mango tree in the yard. We were in a corner of the pond away from the house. Our car was hidden in the big tree.

"Oh, what's in there?" I asked them with curiosity. "Wait, don't tell me you have a bad plan for me?" I said.

"Tss! As if I'm going to defile my junior with you. Maybe I can get HIV later." he said.

"Watch your mouth kid," Eugene scolded his brother then looked at me.

I am not offended by what this guy said, I like a person like him who is straightforward that with sugary lies.

"Ley, do you know I'm smart?" Eu asked me and wink

"Really?"

"Yes,"

"Then prove,"

"That house is Vince's hideout," he started and wink again. "That's where they had a drug session with his friends." I feel like I drank a drum of energy drink because of what he said.

"Really?" I quickly asked then set down properly and listen to him.

"But I'm not really sure, that's just my conclusion." I was able to beat him.

"Stupid," I said.

"But that is their hideout."

"So?

"So, they make something inside there."

"Like, doing drugs? We have no evidence unless you can tell me more."

Eugene pointed at Will so I like him.

I doubt this boy's instinct. But not bad if I will listen to him first. Besides, I am with his brother so for sure he got something good.
