CHAPTER 6: Pretend


LIA

The plane started going up in the sky. When I turned my attention to the window, several clouds greeted my eyesight.

I let out a sigh of relief. After some hours, I will finally leave Spain’s territory. I’m just wishing that they will not search for me anymore. Although I think it is impossible to happen, I’m still believing just for the sake of my peace.

“Oh, my goodness!” A loud squeak from a lady disturbed my thoughts. “Dennise?”

Hearing that name, my eyes widened, and my heart started palpitating. It’s the same feeling I had when those men were chasing me.

Are those people in the flight? Did they follow me here?

What should I do? In this plane, I’m sure that I have nowhere to go! I can’t ask for help! They might succeed in seizing me! They might torture me even if I didn’t do anything!

“Dennise! Yoohoo! I know it’s you,” the lady added when I didn’t respond to her.

Slowly, I turned my head to the owner of the voice. That’s where I saw a lady, maybe the same age as mine. She was wearing a black halter top. Her hair was done in a messy bun while her face was glowing with makeup.

“Hi?” I answered her. I actually don’t know how to respond. First of all, I am not Dennise. Second, I don’t know who this woman is. Lastly, I don’t know how Dennise acts!

“It’s been so long! I haven’t heard anything about you after you got married,” she said while smiling at me, as if we were close friends. “How’s it going between you and Alejandro?”

Alejandro? I think I have already heard that name before.

My memories flash backed to the talk I had with Yvette.

“The old man beside her is just as bitch as well!”

“He also treated their bodyguards like shit, and I mean, like a damn shit creature! Bagay silang dalawa. Parehong anak ni Satanas.” (They really complement each other. Both are children of Satan.)

“Did you hear the name of the man?”

“I’m not sure, but is it Sandro? Mando?”

“Aha! Alejandro! The man’s named Alejandro!”

I quickly opened my notebook to check. I know that I wrote the man’s name here.

When I finally confirmed that it was the same name, an idea popped into my mind.

“Oh, yeah. Everything’s going well between me and my husband,” I answered.

This woman know who Dennise is. Not just that, she also know about the relationship between Dennise and Alejandro. If there’s someone who can answer my question and give more information about them, this woman in front of me is the answer.

She clapped her hands. “That’s good! I’m sure you still have him wrapped around your fingers,” she said and followed it with an amused laugh.

I also laugh with her. I tried to make it as natural as possible. If I want to get more information, I should act like Dennise and squeeze details in a way that this lady will not notice.

Strategy number one: Act like Dennise.

Alejandro’s wrapped around Dennise’s fingers, huh? From that sentence alone, I can say that Dennise might be a dominant kind of woman. If not dominant, then she is manipulative, unless that Alejandro loves her so much and he is dumb as hell.
