Part 2
Chapter 6
“Hubby, Mrs. Lorenzo is pitiful right? I want to help her to find their granddaughter but I don't know how?” Lyn said while at Axiel. They are going home after work. Lyn is uneasy after their meeting this morning. Axiel notices the change in his wife's mood and finally, she open up about it now.
“You can help them by being by their side. I know you notice this morning that aunt Felisa is comfortable with you. You can be her comfort while they are finding their granddaughter. No need to be in the field to find, I will join them but please consider our baby in your tummy wife. Don't make me worried okay?” he plead and was willing to kneel if he need to. He is willing to lower his pride for them, to protect them. Others may not like the idea because their ego is been stepped but he didn't care.
When they are in his position, they can feel what he feels. Afraid of what would happen in the next seconds, hours, days, months, or even years. Yeah, he is paranoid but it is their first child. The first result of their love for each other and will become one of the witnesses in this love they have.
“Okay, fine hubby. Calm your sense down. I will do what you all said just calm down. You think too much, you know that? I know your point and I will take care of myself and our baby. Smile hubby, please.” Lyn surrender. It's nothing to be hard-headed in this situation. She hugs him tightly and leans on his chest. Yeah, she is sitting on his lap now while he is driving. That's what she wants and Axiel let her. He smiles at her as an assurance that he understands. Just a few minutes, Lyn fall asleep in that position.
“I don't want you to be in danger wife. I'm willing to sacrifice my life to protect you and our angel. I don't know what to do if you're not with me again. I'm willing to be your slave but please don't leave me. I love you, wife,” he murmurs while his free hand caresses her hair.
*************
“Sir we have a lead about the kidnapper. We caught her but she is dead now. Someone kill her in the hospital where they are admitted. But before that, the girl said that she came here with a baby and leave it in a house. I receive a text before she died, it is an address of a condo unit here in Manila and also the number. Are we going to go to that address Sir?” the investigator said. His group fail to get the exact information before she died. Her ward is strictly guarded but the killer disguises herself as a nurse so that he gets inside the ward.
The mastermind, in this case, is not yet known but no one can hide for a long time because the truth will come out no matter what. They say that land has ears and news have wings. It is a quote from a gossiper.
“Go and searched. I want to see my granddaughter as soon as possible. My wife wants to her as well. Double your men to find her, I will pay the cost just to find her. Leave now and I want good news next time.” Ezekiel's voice is full of authority. It's been years of finding her but it goes nothing. He is stressed from work and now he will think of an excuse for his wife to cover such failures again. Felisa keeps asking him about the investigation and if it has progressed.
Felisa is now old as him and he didn't want to see her sad every time he says nothing about the investigation. that sadness in her eyes gave him guilt but he can do nothing about it. His phone rings making him back to sense before glancing at the caller, no other than his lovely wife.
“Hi Love, are you busy?” she directly asks with a faint voice. It seems that she misses her daughter again. These past days, she is quiet and hard to talk with. Always dashed like she is thinking about something very deep. You can see on her face the bereavement of her child who passed away.
“No, I'm not Love. What's the problem? Your voice seems to say yes. Are you okay Love? Did something happen in the house while I'm here?” he ask questions out of concern. Being nervous because he is not there so he didn't know. These past days, he can say that his wife has a problem but she can't say it to him.
“I'm fine here Love. I'm bored and longing for a child. What can I do?” based on her voice, she is crying now which breaks his heart. Her tears are like a knife stabbing his heart. How can he give her happiness when it is only their granddaughter?
“I will ask Lyn to go there if you want Love. I know she will help you. Do you want it?” Ezekiel suggests. He didn't have a choice, knowing that Lyn is the only person she is comfortable with.
“Yes but what if she is busy. You know that Mr. Monteverde is not that easy to ask for a favor. I have the feeling that when she is with me, I have my child on my side.” even though she is crying, her sentence is well said. There is doubt in her words. He assured her by saying,
“Leave it to me wife. Get ready and she will come to the palace later. Love you,”
“Okay, thank you, Love. Love you too,” she ended the call first. Her voice cheers up and it can say that she is excited about what he said. Ezekiel smiled at it knowing that he make her happy again this time. It's time to ask the husband if he can borrow his wife for the day.
“Hi, good morning Mr. Lorenzo. What can I do for you?” Axiel picks up the call just in a few rings. His voice has formality, power, and also respect. Ezekiel raise his right brow at what he called him. Did this child forget what to address him?
“Good morning to Axiel. I think you forgot something?” make him think about what he is talking about. He knows that Axiel is smart but no one knows if he can't figure it out this time.
”I guess we didn't have an appointment this day, right Mr. Lorenzo?” See he didn't figure it out. He let out a heavy sigh and even roll his eyes like a lady.
“Yeah but you forgot what to address me, young man,” he said with a dismayed voice. Axiel put a finger on his chin and think about what he said for a while. Bang, he forgot to call him Uncle Ezekiel. His wife even told them yesterday to call them like that. He immediately asks for forgiveness,
“Owww sorry, Uncle Ezekiel. I forgot about it Hehehe. So what's the matter Uncle?” he asks again.
“I want to borrow your wife for the day Axiel. Don't get me wrong but my wife called me a while ago and she said, she is missing her daughter. Hope you understand.” it's like pleading. Yes, he needs to plead if he could just to make him agree to that. He can't see his wife's unhappy face when going home.
“Just for the day Axiel, please. You know that old person is very emotional and easy to be stressed and displeased,” he added to what he said. Give more explanation to make him agree. Feel guilt as well if he could figure it deeper.
“Okay, I agreed to that Uncle but my wife could give the decision most of it. Wait and I will add her to our conversation.” Axiel agreed but not so sure if Lyn will agree too. Lyn is added to their conversation when she picks up the call of Axiel.
“His wife, do you want to be with Aunt Felisa today? I know that you are bored there in the mansion while I'm at work. Uncle Ezekiel is in the line and he ask me if you could be with his wife today. She misses her child.” Axielexplainsn in a soft voice. The natural way he talks to her every day with affection. Love is visible in it when others could hear it.
“Aunt Felisa is pitiful hubby. I will go there now and be by her side. I love the way she talks and takes care of my pregnancy as well hubby so I will agree. Did make know the place hubby?” Finally, she agreed.
“I will tell Mark about it Wife. Take care and don't tire yourself.” he reminds her. Ezekiel can't hold it any longer and thanking her make her shocked at the moment.
“Thank you, Lyn. Your really a blessing to us and also your husband.” After hearing that, Lyn blushed in the shade of red. She forgot that Ezekiel is in the line also.
“Hehehe don't say that Uncle. I'm happy to be with Aunt too.”
Lyn prepared her things and get downstairs. Mark is waiting for her. Wearing her simple maternity white dress and paired with flat shoes. She wears a pair of pearl earrings, necklace, and bracelet, also her engagement and wedding ring.
After an hour of drive, their car was allowed to enter a gold-colored gate after an inspection. They already let them in after knowing that she is the wife of Mr. Monteverde, the second billionaire. Mark parked the car at the entrance of the luxurious palace. Two guards came and open the door for them.
“Welcome to Lady Catherine's Palace Mrs. Monteverde.” maids and guards in line greet and bow to her when they enter the palace. She smiles at them with respect and greets them back.
“It's my pleasure to be here. Thank you for the warm welcome.”
“This way Mrs. Monteverde. Madam was in the garden near the pool. Your snack is also there prepared by her.” an old butler assisted her in the garden where Felisa was. It's more glamorous inside the house. Seeing the outside is more than the inside. It feels like you are in a royal family palace and it's luxurious to live for.
“Mrs. Monteverde is already here Madam,” he announces her presence gets Felisa's attention. Felisa is wearing a simple yet elegant blue dress with two-inch flat sandals and jewelry. Lyn comes near her and hugs her, a tight hug.
“You dismiss Alan. Come and sit down dear. I prepare a strawberry cake and buko roll pastry. What drinks do you want, just tell me so I can let the maids prepare them? Don't be shy and feel at home.” she talk too much offering what she baked and letting Lyn sit down. It's like an outside living room inside of a garden, they have couches and a glass table in the center, so comfy to sit on.
“I'm okay with some fresh orange juice, my doctor advised being careful about what I drink or eat because my pregnancy is sensitive. Sit down Aunt, calm down.” Lyn smiley said and invite her to sit. She is heedful. Felisa do what she said and sit down on the single sofa near Lyn.
“I can manage on my Aunt. It's not my first time visiting houses. You must relax Aunt in your age and even Uncle.” Lyn added while pouring some orange juice into their glasses.
“Yeah I agree to that dear but how? The only one who will inherit our wealth is not yet found and Ezekiel needs to manage it for now until she is found.” Felisa takes a sip of her juice and explains why. Lyn holds her hands and caresses them saying those comforting words.
“I know that she will be found and you are going to be united. Do you want to meet my mom, Aunt? We will visit you often or you can also visit us. Mom is similar to your Aunt and I assure you that you two will like each other, no kidding. Mom loves to cook too like me and you. We can be partners to have a bakery shop if you want Aunt.” Lyn gets a slice of the strawberry cake and tastes it. So yummy! It suits her taste and wants more. Oops, if it's okay to Aunt Felisa.
“I'm interested in it dear. So where and when for us to talk about the details.” Felisa gets a piece of cookies and eats it after talking. It is a good opportunity to let her be busy and not miss her granddaughter. She needs to be attracted to things to avoid thinking too much. It is not good for her health, more like she is old.
“Maybe next week in our mansion. I need to tell mom later about it and let her come here from the Province and maybe dad will come too. It would be better so you can meet them both. Isn't it good Aunt?” Lyn giggles while imagining their reaction when they meet. Mary's parents died years ago in a plane crash. She is the only daughter they have so Mary inherits the properties of her dead parents, ten hectares of a pineapple plantation, and a mansion. Mary manages her parent's business while studying until she graduates as a teacher and meets Mateo, her husband which is Lyn's father.
Beyond being alone, she pursues her dream with hard work. Together with her husband, they cherish, take care of, and love their only daughter Lyn until she grows up. Those trials we experience make us strong and give us lessons every time we stumble but after that, we stand and continue walking our way.
“That would be great then. Our husbands are busy with their work so we can bond on our own. Can you tell me the love story of your parents dear if you know? I want to hear it so I know how to mingle with them soon. Maybe we have similarities that we didn't know. I will tell our story too after.” Felisa giggled while saying it. Remembering their love story with her husband makes her smile.
