My Husband's Secret Affairs With My Step Sister

12

" Why is she not here? Where had she gone to?" The doctor at the hospital asked.

" We don't know, doc. We thought she has been here all along" The nurse replied.

The doctor had came to the ward, only to discover that the patient who was supposed to be in this ward

was missing.

" You all know she is not in her right state of mind! Find her" He ordered and left the ward.

" Please, we need to find her. What would we tell her family if they find out? Added to that, the actions

displayed here some time ago has made us to decide that we would keep her here and watch her

before letting her leave. Now she has left. We cannot let her go out there. It's dangerous for her and

others. Please find her, no matter what" The assistant head doctor addressed with a serious tone.

Everyone began to search the hospital for her.

The doctor that left, walked to his office and immediately dialed a number.

" She is missing"

" Good for her then"

" But she does not seem to be in her right state of mind and she hasn't completely healed. Her life

might be in danger"

" Then find her if you want"

" What about......" Beep! Beep! The phone beeped indicating the other person had cut the call.

"Why are most people so wicked?" He puzzled.

" I have one question for you my dear friend" Scarlet said, mysterically. Her gaze was fixated on

Amelia.

Amelia was uncomfortable with the sudden change. " What question?"

Scarlet leaned forward and rested her elbows on the table, as her gaze became more scrutinizing.

" Why did you leave without a goodbye, back then?"

Amelia felt goosebumps crepted her skin and shivers ran down her spine. Making her feel cold.

Why did she leave? She couldn't answer this question, " l.......l......l..... Ple" she stammered.

" You can't answer? Has the cat caught your tongue? Do you know what your disappearance caused

all of us. I could still remember vividly. That day, your graduation, we all hanged out and went home

wasted. The following morning i woke up and didn't find you. After trying my best to search for you, i

told the others. We all began to search for you and informed the police. We thought you were

kidnapped on our way home" She paused and looked into Amelia's eyes.

" Do you want to know who was most affected out of all of us?" She asked.

Amelia lowered her head. Of course she knew.

" Of course you know. He was so heartbroken. He searched for you everywhere and everyday. He

never stopped. His health and mental state emaciated. He would stand in that favorite spot where both

of you usually meet and speak to himself"

"Amelia! Did you not think about us when you did what you did? Ok now let's leave our circle of friends.

Did you not think about him? He loved you so much, cared for you, pampered you, never allow any

harm come to her and you pay him like this? How could you?" She asked bitterly.

But Amelia remained quiet, with her head down.

" We watched him gradually began to change from the man we used to know him as to someone who

we couldn't even recognize. Not even you would believe what such a bright and promising man

changed has changed into"

" Amelia, you hurt that guy so much. Despite his change, he still keep searching for you until one day"

" He found out you were married and seemed to be living happily, with your husband and may have

even forgotten about him, he was so shattered and broken. He couldn't love after what you did to him"

" Up still now we still can't put a finger on why you did what you did!" She said in hurt " though when I

saw you just now i was happy but..... Now i don't know what I feel anymore. Maybe you never really

cared about us"

As she spoke, Amelia cried. Why did she leave such a man for somebody like Ethan Dan Greg? She

wa such a big fool!

" No. I cared about you guys very much but I...."

" You what Amelia?"

Amelia stopped trying to speak and took in a deep breath.

" How is he?"

" Who? How do you think he is? Though i am not in touch with him, what you did to him made him lose

interest in women may not fall in love. He was in the military, probably channeling his pains and

frustrations into intense training"

Amelia walked endlessly in a daze state. After walking for like half a day, she stopped in front of a

cemetery.

She walked in the cemetery, and kept walking till she reached a particular one, with the name 'Ava

Pearls’ inscribed on the tombstone.

She knelt down in front of the tombstone and swept her slender fingers on it. " MOM, I don't know if you

can see me or hear me. But I am passing through a tough face of life. And at this junction..." She trialed

off, as tears brimmed in her eyes.

" I am deciding to leave. Leave to start a new life. Don't worry Mom. I am not leaving you alone for long.

I would surely come back"

" And mom, i need you to protect me, guide me and stay with me" She sobbed.

" In this world, i am alone. Ever since you left, i have been alone. I only have dad but of course, a man

cannot replace a woman. Your love and how you make me feel cannot be replaced with dad's" A life

without a mother was very difficult but she managed to go through it.

" You might not be proud of me, because of some of the decisions i took. But I need to go now"

" And I think it will best for me. I promise you this day that I would rebuild myself to become a daughter

you would be proud of. I hope you would support me in my journey" She wiped her tears and stood up.

" And trust me Mom. I will surely return, not as the Amelia Pearls, who left, but as the Amelia Pearls

who you would be proud of"

Outside the Pearls family mansion, two women sat down under a shade, discussing as they sipped This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

their drink, every once a while.

" It's good that she ran away. What was she thinking? That after getting pregnant, he would be forces

to change his mind? She is really a big dreamer but she is no match for me" Madison commented.

" She is just as lucky as her mother. They always end up with good men that we have to snatch" Laura

said

" Mom, please do not say i snatched him. He has always been mine. Amelia got married to him

because........ Because" She couldn't find an appropriate word or reason to give. She gritted her teeth

and clenched her fists tightly. Her mother was not saying words that pleases her.

" Daughter, it's yours, doesn't mean you didn't snatch him. He was never married to you. And we have

a problem" Laura hated to admit it that all she had today was never hers. She snatched everything

through underhanded means.

" What problem, Mom?" She still asked.

" The public would not accept this. They may think you pushed Amelia away to take her position. This

would affect you and your relationship with Ethan. Marrying him wouldn't be so easy. Else he is willing

to stand against all odds, to marry you"

" Mom i don't care what they think about me and my relationship with Ethan. I would marry him no

matter what" She said, almost yelling.

" What if the public views affects the Greg’s family? And you seem to forget about two more problems"

She reasoned calmly.

" And what are they mom?"
