章節 18: Past
Diana has been all giddy through out yesterday as Skylar accepted her deal. Ninety days. She doesn't know how she'll do it but, she's going to make it work.
Diana walked into the restaurant were she was supposed to meet up with Philip.
"Hello" Diana said when she walked up to Philip's table. He looked stunning. If not for the fact that Skylar has stolen her heart, Philip would have been the perfect man to her.
"Hello schöne" Philip said as he stood up to give Diana a peck on the cheek. He then moved to draw a seat out for Diana.
" Thank you " Diana said at his gesture.
" What would you like to order?" Philip asked when Diana was already settled on her seat.
Diana lifted the menu and weighed her options.
They both ordered food of their choices and waited for the waiter to bring it to their table.
"So how have you been?" Philip thought it wise to start a conversation before the food arrived. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable or seem boring in anyway.
" Good " Diana replied.
Philip noticed that there was a different air around Diana. She seemed more happy, confused...almost like happy but uncertain.
" You seem, happier. Anything good happened these past few days?" Diana looked at Philip while touching her cheeks. Was it that obvious?.
" It's nothing, just excited about my new job " Diana said part of it. She wouldn't tell anyone about that deal, never. She doesn't want to seem like a woman, desperate for a man's attention.
" WOW! so what kind of job is it? " Philip asked
" I work as a secretary at the Fisher Corp. Clark's secretary " Diana answered.
" That's even more amazing " Philip said, " but guess what's more amazing"
" What?" Diana asked even though she knew what he was about to say.
"You Diana. You are more amazing" Diana had prepared her self to not turn into a tomato when he says it, but the look on Philip's face when he said it made her blush profusely that her cheeks were all red, luckily for her, the food arrived.
Meanwhile...
"She blushes too easily" Skylar scoffed when he saw the interaction between the two. "Did you get the photo?" He asked Clark who sat beside him. They both used a magazine to hide their face.
"Yes, sir"Clark answered wondering what happened to the 'she was the daughter of my enemy'.
Skylar's mind has been all over the place when he learnt that Diana would be meeting up with a guy, and the guy was a handsome one as well.
He tried to not think of what they'll eat, talk about, whether they'll hold hands, whether they'll visit a hotel. He was restless. Every part of him was itching to see what they were doing.
He thought of calling Diana, but he was sure it'll give her ideas. So here he was, spying on Diana and getting angry at the fact that she was blushing for another man. He even dragged Clark into this madness. Something was definitely wrong with him.
" Let's go" Skylar said when he thought of how pathetic he was spying on Diana.
"What should I do with the picture" Clark asked when they got into the car.
"Send them to me and delete it from your device"
" Yes sir " Clark said before starting the engine and heading home. Today was weekend but Skylar was sure he wasn't getting any rest. He has to distract him self from these stupid feelings that are messing him up.
...
" Who are you talking to? " The phone from Kate's hand slipped as she heard Sylvester's voice.
" N-no one" She said nervously.
" No one, and you're that nervous " Mr Sylvester said as he walked slowly towards her.
Kate immediately picked the phone from the floor and held it tightly in her hands.
"Give me that " Mr Sylvester gritted his teeth and dragged the phone from her hand. Kate didn't know what made her release her grip from the phone that easily, but she was sure of one thing. His mouth odour played a part.
Mr Sylvester tried calling the number again but the number wasn't picking.
"Bastard" he seethed.
"Tell me who was on the phone with you?!" Mr Sylvester knew Kate doesn't have enough friends except those women who like to gossip at the spa, other than them, there was no one Kate would be calling. That's if she even had their number.
"Just someone, I met while shopping" Kate said, thankful that the person on the other end got the clue. Their plan would be destroyed if Sylvester got suspicious even if it was a little bit.
Mr Sylvester might be greedy and only think about himself, but he's one hell of a smart man. He wouldn't have gotten to where he was now with just greed alone.
"Strip" Mr Sylvester ordered out of the blue.
"I'm having a little headache, I don't think I can accommodate your needs now." Kate said trying to escape this man torture in the name of sex. Never have she seen being intimate with this man as sex or making love, it feels disgusting, almost like torture. His awful groans, his bad breath that fans her neck... Nothing about it feels good.
"I said strip!" Mr Sylvester pulled her more closer to him as he ordered. His grip tight on her arms.
" I said I'm not feeling too well, maybe some ..."
*Slap*
"I've told you times without number I don't like repeating my self...strip." Mr Sylvester said after releasing her only to land his heavy hands on her cheeks.
When he saw her on the phone, his thoughts were that she was talking to another man and all he wanted to do was remind her of who she belonged to.
Kate did not need any soothsayer to tell her that she needed to strip, else this man would release his animalistic traits on her.
After she had stripped her self of all clothings, she saw Mr Sylvester seemingly eyeing her naked body. He started removing his clothes as well and soon they were both standing naked.
The sight of Mr Sylvester massaging his dick with that sinister smile of his face made Kate feel like puking.
"Move to the bed " Mr Sylvester said as kept on massaging his manhood while stalking Kate.
Kate laid on the bed and Mr Sylvester climbed on top of her petite body.
"Even if you don't love me, I still own your body" and with this Mr Sylvester slammed his dick into Kate. This action made Kate wince in pain. She wasn't stimulated which made it more painful.But she had to endure, for him...for her son.
...
She had just bought some baby food for her toddler when Mr Sylvester walked up to her in haste.
"Hurry up and come with me, some loan sharks are on your family's tail, there is no time to explain" Mr Sylvester said as he led her to where he parked his car.
He said her husband, Liam, told him to take her to the uncompleted factory they were building for the company and take cover there. She believed. Why won't she?, He was her husband assistant, his most trusted man... moreover they were childhood friends. She wouldn't have thought that she'll spend fifteen years of her life caged away from civilization. Even when she wanted to come out, he kept her there forcefully against her will, all in the name of protecting her.
And just when he finally let her go, she heard her family were burnt to death. Gas leakage. The timing was too uncanny. Immediately her husband died, Mr Sylvester became rich. It was too much of a coincidence. Everything pointed towards him.
She married him because he said she needed a new identity, so that the loan sharks won't come for her. After all this while they still remembered her? She found that story pathetic. But she did as he said, because she knows the only way to finding her son, was by staying close to Mr Sylvester, be obedient and respectful so he won't suspect a thing. He definitely knows something about her husband's death, and she'll find out what it is!.
She has been doing her own investigation and she just got a lead... Her son was alive. Skylar was alive.
The will to live had now become stronger than ever, she has endured all this years so why would she give up now that she knows her son is alive. She'll turn the earth upsidedown just to find him.
