Chapter 92

LUCY
I was in my room with Mira. Nora left some hours ago and it felt like she was gone for a long time. I missed her so much and could not stop thinking about her. I was happy we are together. It is a good thing we finally told each other how we felt. I was happy my dad finally accepted her too.
It came as a surprise to me when dad called me to tell me he had accepted Nora. At first, I thought he was joking. I thought he said that to see my reaction but when Mira confirmed that dad was serious. He was ready to accept Nora. I was happy. Now I have fewer things to worry about.
I have just Jasper to worry about. Talking about Jasper, I realized he hasn't said a word for a long time. I wondered if he had accepted his fate and moved on. If he had finally left Nora for me. I wondered if he had something up his sleeve and was waiting for the right time to strike. I was wondering if he has made some plans and who his next target would be. I had a feeling he might want to hurt Nora but I knew he was in love with her and won't want to hurt her. I wondered if he won't hurt her then he might be finding a way to get her back and to do that, he will need to make her hate me.
I wondered if Nora would ever believe what Jasper says or if she would... "Lucian!" Mira called, jolting me out of my thought.
I batted my lashes. "You called me"
"Don't tell me you're missing her already"
I nodded sincerely. I was missing her. "Of course, I do"
She chuckled. "Someone is finally in love. I'm happy for you brother"
I rolled my eyes. "I can't wait to go back"
She frowned. "You don't like seeing my face?"
"No. I love to see Nora's face more"
She stood up. "I'm leaving. And don't you dare call me back"
I chuckled. "Thanks, sis. I will get to have some sleep"
She turned. "You're pushing me away?."
I chuckled and wanted to say something but the peeping sound from my phone made me stop. "Pass me my phone please". She ignored me. "Please. You know I love you right and I will always love to see your face"
She rolled her eyes. "Lair" she whispered. She handed over my phone to me and sat on the could.
"Thanks" I muttered. I checked my phone and it was a message from an unknown number. I wondered who it was. I opened the message and it read. "Hi, LuCY. It's been a while. I just want to let you know that your beautiful damsel is in a safe hand. And if you want her alive, you have to tell the world you don't love her and you are not willing to get married to her again"
I batted my lashes. Is Nora in danger? What's going on? I could not believe the message so I called her number. I kept trying her number but she wasn't picking up. Mira was worried too. I tried calling Addy but she wasn't picking up too. "You should call her mom" Mira suggested
I called Nora's mom and she told me Nora was not home yet. She said she called to let them know she was at the airport and Addy went to pick her up but they are yet to come back. She said they had been trying to call them but none was picking up. She said they are worried something might happen to her.
She begged me to help them bring Nora back. After the call ended, Mira moved closer. "Why do I have this feeling Jasper is behind this"
I frowned. Why did I not think about that? I had thought my dad was responsible. After all, he never wanted Nora and me to get married. And it was unusual for him to accept her just like that. I had thought he had a hidden motive. I should have thought Jasper was an enemy too. "Do you think Jasper can do this? "
She nodded. "Of course. He has always wanted Nora for himself just like he wanted Julia. This can only be him". I furrowed my brow. I still find it difficult to believe that. She must have noticed my reaction cause she asked, "who do you have in mind?"
I stared at her for a while before speaking up, "dad?"
She batted her lashes. "Dad. Why would you think that way? Lucian?. If dad doesn't want you both together he would have said it and you know that. If he do not want you to marry her, he wouldn't have announced the wedding to the council of elders this morning"
I blinked. "He did?"
She nodded. "He did. He announced your wedding today. I know dad can be so annoying at times but he can't do that. He can't stoop so low to do that. You should not think that way, Lucian. You shouldn't"
I sighed. "I'm sorry. I just couldn't help it"
She sat beside me. "I know you're worried but trust me. We will find her. I think we should let dad know about this. He can help"
"No. I will find a way myself"
"Remember what happened to Julia. Do you want the same for Nora?"
"I don't. I don't want to see her get hurt,'"
"Then you have to tell dad about it"
I sighed. "Are you sure?"
She nodded. "Trust me"
