She Is Not Her

CHAPTER 31

Adria's POV:

"I wish I could shoot that bullet in your head", he said and turned on his heels not before motioning me to follow him. "And yeh your father is alive", he said leaving me dumbfounded. My dad is alive.. my dad is freaking alive. But can I trust this information?

"I don't trust you", I said to him in a low voice.

"How do you think we found you? It was difficult to find your link with Jake cause the father of your so-called boyfriend did a good job to hide his connections with Jake. We could find you only with Edward's help. And if you still do not believe me you can fuck off", he said rudely.

I was convinced. Only dad knew about our and Mr Blake's connection with Jake. But what about the pictures that I saw? I dare not to ask Augustus or care about it. My dad was alive and that is what mattered to me.

He glared at me again signalling me to follow him, I followed him like a puppy, not knowing what else to do. Once out of the door we passed through a passage with several bodies lifeless on the floor. A few policemen were moving them leaving a trail of blood on the floor.

At other times such a scene would make me wanna throw up but right now it was just in front of my eyes, my mind was playing something else.

Even though knowing about Jake from dad I still wondered how could Austin and Augustus found us so soon. It was just yesterday that Connor and I were held captive by Mr Blake, Connor's father. It was just a few hours earlier that I met my twin sister and got to know about my cruel father and my dead mother.

Austin was fast to find me. Or was it really me who he wanted to find? Of course not, why would he make an effort to find someone who stabbed him? To kill him! My subconscious answered. The obvious answer I was afraid to tell myself. And now that he finally found Andrea, his angel, the love of his life why will he even keep me alive? Of course, he will kill me.

Now that I learned that my dad, Edward Owensby was alive I was so happy. But soon my happiness was taken by guilt. The accusation put on Austin was wrong. He did not kill my father. He was telling the truth. But what did I do instead? I stabbed him.

I STABBED HIM! The reality struck me. Till now I was believing that Austin sent Augustus to save me, but I still don't know the whole truth. Was Austin Alive? Or did he die after I stabbed him? I panicked. My breathing went harsh.

"Augustus!", I called out. "Augustus", I wanted to know his whereabouts. Was he fine? Was he alive?

"Hey, what's wrong?", Andrea asked. It's just now I noticed that she was now beside me. "Are you alright?", she asked.

" I need to talk to Augustus", I said. She looked confused.

"How do you know him?", she asked. Fuck! What should I tell her? She can't know the truth.

"You.. You took his name earlier. I just remembered it", I lied. She nodded but was still frowning. She looked here and there but he was nowhere to be seen. Now we finally reached outside the building we were held captive at. A few cars were standing at the gate.

"You need something from him?", Andrea asked.'Yes, I want to ask him whether Austin is alive or not', was the correct answer to her question but I can't tell her that. "I.. I wanted to know about my father. I mean my dad Edward", I lied.I can't imagine how Andrea will feel when she gets to know that her own sister stabbed the man she loves.

The man she loves. The sentence pierced painfully in my heart. But now was not the time to think about my fucked up feelings and the situation between me, Austin, Connor and now Andrea. Everything was so confusing. But right now my priority was to know about Austin.
