YOURS

9

Next morning I wake up feeling in paradise, still naked under the covers I stretch my body and look around, bennet is not here, I hear sounds in the kitchen, he wakes up early, as usual. I changed and go out. I look at him up and down, I'm so in love. Right now, it feels perfect.

"Good morning" I say with a big smile

He turns around and fast smiled back at me, he walks towards me and hugs me with a kiss. "Good morning my love" we look at each other's eyes. But the moment got interrupted with a knock at the door. He looks at me confused.

"we didn't have any orders today" I say to him confused as him

He goes and opens the door, a guard from home, the same that where at town yesterday.

"My apologies sir and good morning"

"Morning officer" he said nervous

I fast walk slowly to the back door.

"sorry to interrupt your morning but we are looking for a Lady that has been missing for a couple months, we are just checking the houses around, you know, can we come in"

Bennet looks back with the corner of his eye and see Emilia opening the back door and leaving. "yes come in"

The officer pass and looks around closely. "do you live alone?"

Bennet looks nervous already, his trying to find the correct words. "I live with my cousin"

"hmm" he just hums

"sir, look what we found lurking in the barn" One of the officers enters the house holding Emilia by her arm.

"Miss Emilia" he fast says to her, he looks at bennet. "you are under arrest" he fast reaches his gun

"NO!" Emilia says "I'm not Emilia, my name is lily" she lied

"what?  no, you are miss Emilia Leebrock your family been looking for you everywhere"

"I don't know who that is, I'm not her" she started faking dementia

Then Eric Sanders enters the house, casandras husband. "Emilia" he says happy, he hugs her and checks her.  "she looks fine, take her to the house, fast" he orders

"no, I don't want to go, I'm not Emilia" She struggled but they took her by force, bennet couldn't do anything just stay still. 

"you, I know you" eric says to him

Bennet just looks down. "Even if is true that Emilia don't remembers who she is, i know, you know, take him" he said to the other guard. but bennet punched him and ran off through the back door. The other guards that where outside were going to follow him but eric stopped them. "Leave him, right now the important thing is getting Emilia back home"

                                                                                   ***

Back at Emilia's house, her mother was crying hugging her, kissing her head. Mary was crying out of happiness. They were at Emilia's room. she was bathed and changed in her normal clothes again.

"My baby, oh thank God you are fine"

Emilia was just looking down; she didn't know what to feel. Jonathan enters the room looking like he just ran from his house to hers, Emilia fast looked at him with a bad expression.

"Emilia" he says with a sight of breath

Eric with a couple guards enters the room too. "Mam, he got away but don't worry my guards are looking for him nonstop"

"Unbelievable Eric, that monster had my Emilia hostage, only god know what he did to her"

"He didn't have me hostage, I was there because I wanted"
