Chương 12: Did you find the information?

Elizabeth pov:

My headaches are hell. I can't sleep properly, and my appetite is gone, I can't eat anything. Nothing is going the way I have planned, why in heaven names is everything against me?.

She laughs loud and louder till she begins to cry, banging the table with her fist and bounding her head against it. She starts to scream out of anger that the maiden in the house terrified her.

She walked to the corner and grabbed a bat. She starts to destroy everything that was in the living room as a crazy person.

Screaming 'HOW DOES HE HAVE THE GUTS TO TAKE MY CHILD FROM ME!! SHE IS MY CHILD AND ONLY MINE!! AAAHH!!.'

There were pictures, glasses, bookcases, tables, chairs and mirrors that were all smashed or destroyed.

She was going on for what seemed like hours, acting like she was a psychopath.

One of the guards came running to her when he arrived at the scene. He grabs her arm, trying to control her, but she was moving and freeing herself from him.

He says, "PLease calm done Mrs Elizabeth, Pleaseee".

She then let go of the bat from her hand and collapse to the ground.

Her face was pale, and she looked thinner than she was before.

I looked around at the living room and, try to laugh poorly.

What happened to me? What happened to my perfect family? What did I do to deserve this? I thought that I had everything under my control, but it seems like I wasn't.

Where did everything go wrong, Hunter?

Hunter is her personal guard, and he is loyal to her. She keeps him close because he never disagrees with her. He does whatever Elizabeth tells him to do without asking questions. He knows what she wants before Elizabeth gives him an order like he can read her mind and never disappoints her.

"It is not your fault, Mrs Elizabeth, and you deserve more than this. Please take care of yourself. Otherwise, you won't be able to fight back."

It is all a nightmare. Right, Hunter?

I wanted Hunter to say that I was just having a nightmare that I could wake up from any time.

Seeing his head pointing to the ground fated my hope that I had so badly.

I shook my head and, stand up with some support from him.

My body was crying in pain, especially my hands, but I didn't want to show him my weakness, so I walk by myself to the sofa.

Why are you here? Didn't I say that I don't want you here until you got the information?

"I have info, but I am not sure if it will make you happy." He stars at the ground.

What do you mean? Can it be worse than this? I look at him in disappointment and madness.

"I was looking into Mr Jonathan....."

Didn't I warn you about mentioning his name to me? I was furious at Hunter.

"Sorry, Mrs, it won't happen again".

So, what were you about to say? I saw him sighing.

"It is nothing, pardon me, I overlook it".

I look at him, but he tries to avoid my eyes. What is he hiding? He never did this, and why is he acting like this?

I know that you are telling a lie right now, so speak before my patience is gone.

I saw that he was worried about the situation I was in right now, but I wanted to know what he is hiding, whatever it was.

"He has a brain tumour, and he doesn't have that long to live. He speaks in one go.

I laugh at his joke.

I know you want to make me happy, but this over the limit.

He stares at me seriously what scares me.

"I wish that I was telling a lie. I am sorry to disappoint you, Ma'am".

My heart went to my throat, my breath stops for a moment, and my eyes become blurry. It seemed like the world collapsed on me.

My feelings became mixed up right now. Should I feel happy that the man who cheated on me will die or sad that he is leaving my side forever?.

He always gets what he wants. How dare he leaves me without my permission?

He has to feel how I felt when he cheated on me and destroyed our family.

This bastard, even his death, is against my will.

Since when does he have a tumour? This question bothered me for a while.

"He has it for like a year now, ma'am," says Hunter.

So he was telling lies to me all this year we lived together as a happy couple. How come that he didn't even tell me? Wasn't I the love of his life? How dare he hides this big secret from me and holds it to himself? Did I even mean something to him?

Elizabeths was enraged by the fact Jonathan didn't tell her everything.

She starts eating her fingernails from the stress and worries.

Will she be able to survive the storm that is coming on her way, or will she lose to him this time as well?.

Hunter saw that she was deep in her thoughts. He tries to speak, but she didn't hear him. He talks again, but she didn't answer him again.

Finally, she looked at him when he sits close, his knees on the ground, looking down.

"What do you want me to do, ma'am?"

Don't do anything. Everything is going the way it should be.

Make my car ready. I want to visit an old friend.

I saw him doubting the words I say, but after few secs he sighs and stands up.

"Yes, Ma'am, as you wish".

It took her an hour to dress up.

She walks from the stairs as if everything was just a dream, scaring the maiden.

They were gossiping about her, but the moment she looked at them with her piercing eyes, they feared and lowered their head down.

Her elegant outfit is a mixture of Eastern and western that you can enjoy wearing in your early sixties as well as late sixties. The white shirt and trousers along, with the chiffon cardigan and scarf, look so decent.

Moreover, the accessories she was wearing attire with a pearl necklace and studs. The silver stripe sandal and coral nail colour add five stars to the look for sure. She was now more alive compared to the way she looked before.

Elizabeth was satisfied when she walked out of the house. The car was waiting in front of the gate. Hunter opened the door for her, and she hopped inside.

"To where ma'am?"

The regular spot is all she says.

Then she looks back at her phone, checking if anyone called her like she is expecting someone to call her.

The drive was silent. You could only hear the wind and the speed of the car that bothered her to death.

Elizabeth was today exasperate. Every single thing annoyed her.

Finally, they arrived at a restaurant where everything was so fancy even the car parking was totally different from the regular ones.

The car stops, and she opens her eyes after sighing.

Hunter runs to the door of the car and opens it for her.

"Watch your steps, ma'am".

He puts his hand out to support her, but she ignores it and walks inside the fancy restaurant. He runs behind her after locking the car.

"Welcome, ma'am. Your seat is ready. follow...."

The waitress got cut off by Elizabeth with her rude attitude before she could finish her sentence.

The waitress looked in disbelieve to Hunter, who shook his head to her not to do anything more because Elizabeth wasn't in the mood today.

When she reached the room she was supposed to be in, Elizabeth stands still doubting herself, but she gets the courage to walk inside. After all, she came this far.

But she feared something. What it was, she couldn't really figure it out.

Hunter waits outside the door not to allow anyone to come in further.

Putting on a fake smile, she went inside, but to her surprise, there was the old friend she was expecting.

It was a woman in her early forties sitting while she was drinking green tea. Her old friend was kind of anxiety you could tell if you saw her. She also looks poorly, like she is going under hardship. She smiles when she sees Elizabeth coming inside and checking her out like always.

"You are finally here? Long time no see", her friend spoke happily, but Elizabeth was the opposite of what her friend thought right now.

How are you doing? I heard that you weren't feeling well these days.

"Can't be better, thank you for asking. Why do you look so thin? Did something happen to you?" Elizabeth's smile fated the moment her friend became curious about her life.

What can happen to me, Nancy? You know I am the great Elizabeth?

"How can I forget that we had a great history together," she chuckles remembering, her memories with Elizabeth.

Yeah, we had a great time together. How can I forget that?

But this is not the reason why I am here.

"So, I was right! You called me twenty years later. It made me curious as to why you would need me after you made me leave like that. Do you know? What made you that upset?"

Where is she? Is she still in contact with you?

Nancy's tone turns serious.

Her eyes become wide.

"Why is she looking for her after so many years has passed? Why now?" asks Nancy herself.

I did this for you, Jonathan. I hope you will understand me one day or not. says Elizabeth in her mind after taking one last breath and beginning to ask what stressed her for so many days.
