Chapter 246 - 246: Found her twin
Peyton turned the steering wheel back to the hotel where they left Kim"s body. Daniella wanted to get Ken since he would be in trouble if Jared found out that they were with Evan.
They parked at the back of the hotel. The street was still busy, not chaotic so Daniella figured that no one has found Kim"s body yet.
They left Patrick with Allan in the van while Peyton, Daniella and Evan went upstairs to Ken"s hotel room.
Peyton was walking behind Evan while Daniella was walking in front of him. She could see how much he was trying to hold Daniella"s hand but the latter kept dodging it and giving him a glare.
"I have an advice for you," she said as she seized Evan"s wrist.
Evan stopped in his track and turned to face her.
"Once you are alone with her. Just remove your shirt. That should make her forget all the bad things you have done."
Evan stared at her dumbstruck. Her advice wasn"t really appropriate given the current relationship he has with Daniella.
He gave her a nod once and ran to catch up Daniella.
Without giving up, Evan stretched a hand. He held Daniella"s hand and intertwined their fingers, this time he didn"t let her go. Her warm palm, he missed it so much, even the scent following her was so addicting.
He smiled absently and then pulled her closer. His smile stretched widely after seeing the surprise look on her face.
Before she could even move, Evan locked her cheeks with his palms, pulled her face closer to him and sealed her lips.
Slowly, he closed his eyes but he was able to get a glimpse of surprise expression her face.
By the second that pa.s.sed, memories of her flashed in his mind. From the time she left until they met again. She was not stingy, she let her emotion and memories be seen which only meant that she still trusted him.
Their lips deepened against each other, not bothering to breathe. And just like her, he let her see all the thing he had done since she left.
But it was soon disrupted when Daniella pulled away. With creasing brows, Evan stared at her, still holding her cheeks while she was looking at him with eyes shining in confusion.
"Selena? Really?"
Evan was stunned. He thought she would say something about him feeling so lonely and alone after she left but to his surprise, she mentioned Selena.
"Yes. She went back to her old self. Or even worse," he leaned forward to continue with the kiss but Daniella placed a hand in between them.
"You have a fiancée and I am not cheap to be a mistress," then she turned around flipping her short hair.
Evan scratched his head. Even the way she rolled her eyes were too adorable in his eyes.
"Three minutes." he looked back by the sound of the voice.
There was Peyton, with bored expression in her face.
"Three minutes and you two still had your clothes on," her head was shaking slowly in disbelief, "I can"t believe it!" she blurted and walked past him following Daniella.
Evan with narrowed eyes stared at Peyton. Daniella hasn"t introduced her properly but he had heard her name.
She had the same language tone as Daniella, sharp and careless.
Meanwhile, Ken was starting to feel bored waiting for Evan to arrive. He didn"t even know where he went and was still angry for him using his name to pay for the woman in the cage which he found useless.
He ticked his tongue irritably and picked up his phone. That"s it. If Evan won"t answer the call, he will throw the woman out of the balcony and bring the gorilla back to his house.
Ring... ring... ring...
Ken rose a brow when he heard the familiar ringtone behind the door. Without ending the call, he looked at the doork.n.o.b which currently moving.
His eyes squinted upon seeing the woman he hasn"t seen for months.
"Hey. Shorty!" unknown to him, his voice said those word with full delight while his lips stretched in an ear to ear smile.
"You are alive!" he rushed to her and about to embrace her when his body stiffened. It was not right, he shouldn"t hug her. He realized.
To change the confusion building in his mind, Ken pointed a finger at the cage.
"hey, I have found your twin brother!"
Daniella jerked her head to where Ken was pointing. She found a cage, inside was a woman huddling in the corner with shaking body.
When their eyes met, Daniella walked closer to her. One thing she noticed was her eyes, they were full of dread. She gulped hard and held the metal cage, lips pursed and eyes clouded.
The woman then looked behind her, Daniella turned and found Evan standing behind me.
"Help me."
The woman said in a frail voice, it was full of fear. Daniella stepped aside to give way to Evan.
Evan quickly opened the cage and helped her out while Daniella was still in a daze, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
He pa.s.sed the woman to Peyton and went to Daniella.
"Hey what is wrong?" he started to worry. Something seemed to have shocked her.
When Daniella elevated her chin to meet his eyes, her lips parted and said, "such a small word."
Daniella was simply stunned after staring at the woman for some time. After that short moment, she was able to see the real reason why she was here.
"That woman. She is-" the rest of her words were interrupted when her phone buzzed. She looked at it and turned to Peyton in a hurry.
"I think Jared knows about Kim"s death. He knows we are here so take everyone and I will meet you in the port."
"Are you planning to stay?" Evan asked in trouble.
"Yes, and you should leave too. Take her away from here. I know how to deal with Jared now."
Evan urged to stay but Daniella held his cheeks and smiled at him.
"I will be fine Evan. Trust me."
He shook his head. After what he saw Jared did in the elevator, he was afraid that Daniella"s life will be at risk.
"I am going to stay," he insisted.
Daniella blew out a sigh. There was nothing she can do, he was firm to stay.
"Fine you can stay," eventually she agreed. It was better than to have him around that woman.
