JACK'S POV:

" Wh-What? Wh-why?  What d-did she say?!... " Drake stammered like he could never speak a sentence fluently ever.

I felt really terrible. I know that he had slowly moved away from the thought of Anabelle and finally found his love in Anastasia.

Should i tell him or not?  Or should i just blow it away saying that it was just a prank. But Drake had every right to know about it. I cleared all the questions in my head and began...

FLASHBACK :

I noticed a tall lady with blonde locks near the bar. She seemed to be in a deep thought while having her glass of wine. When i took a better look at her, i felt like gouging my eyes out for defying me. When she realised i was giving her a dirty look, she walked towards me and sat opposite to me.

These entire years, it was cause of her...that everyone are separated now. Drake had to go through such a trauma. The entire place here was miserable and she seemed really happy where ever she was all these years.

"So looks like you had a great hangout with your friends. I did take notice of you but i was just waiting to catch you alone and now i got you. "

She smirked while taking a sip of the untouched champagne glass on the table.

I remained silent.

"So how have you been? How is my boyfriend? " her brows raised in a very evil manner and she winked.

"Your boyfriend?! " i laughed hysterically hearing her refer Drake as her boyfriend.

"You call him your boyfriend?! " i spat at her. "He was still your boyfriend when you ditched him? Where were you then? Where were you when he was left alone thinking that you were already dead? You have no right to call him your guy!!!" i got up and punched the table.

"Watch your words!! " she stood up and pointed her finger at me.

I was cheesed off.

She looked at me a little longer and sighed.

" I know Drake is married." she bent a little and placed her hands on the table. "But that doesn't mean, I'll congratulate him on his wedding and leave. He is mine. I know he still loves me." she playfully winked and i rolled my eyes at her wondering how she knew about Drake.

"If you want to know more on how i found you guys and about how i know everything about Drake, ask Aura. " she gave her shallow smile and deep piercing eyes at me.

"I'll have him by all means. You will see with your own eyes,Drake will agree to be with me and stay away from whoever that tiny little tot he has married."  Hearing her say with full confidence made me gulp hard. "Ask him to meet me tomorrow evening. He will know where to come" with that she turned to head off her way.

I clenched my fist in anger
"Over my dead body! " i shout back at her, to which she waved off her hand and walked away.

-----------------
Once she left, i began to feel strange uneasiness and started to sweat profusely and i totally blanked out.

The next thing i remember was lying on my bed.

" Apparently, Grace had returned back to take her purse which she had forgotten but was shocked to see me lying on the floor with people around, helping me to get a first-aid. Immediately she took me in her car and dropped me home. She helped me take a few tablets. Once i regained my conscious, i asked her to call Aura. "

"She came here after she left your place. Since Aura was here Grace left. I explained everything to Aura and in return i had a more unexpected story from Aura.. " i said while looking at Aura who now came with a tray having 3 bowls of hot vegetable soup.

She sat down on the couch adjacent to ours.

Drake looked like he just saw a ghost. He looked like he wasn't breathing at all. He wasn't blinking as well while Aura seemed to have crossed her legs and busy digging into her bowl of soup. I rolled my eyes at Aura and she shrugged her shoulders like she knew everything that will be happening.

"Drake?? "

He didn't respond.

"Drake?? Drake?!!" i shook his shoulders to get him back from his deep thought.

"I.. I can't believe anything of this bro!!! " he placed his head in his hands and shouted in frustration.

I patted his shoulders.

" Everything is purely true. She is alive and she isn't the same sweet, adaptive girl we knew. "

Drake's eyes were red and tears were brimming his eyes.

"The way she stressed  seemed like she was sure of getting you back. I really pity Anastasia. She is such a faultless and enchanting girl. Now its all upto you, Drake. It's your decision. You got to decide whom you want, Anastasia or Anabelle..."

I could see him in dilemma. In the first place, he couldn't digest anything i spoke. I could totally see it.

He remained speechless and hushed. Then he stood up and headed towards the washroom. Aura and myself fixed our eyes on his every movement. After 10 minutes he walked out of the washroom, with his face washed. Now he seemed a bit steady in his pace and came to sit opposite to Aura.

"What do you know about her, Aura? " Drake questioned her calmly.

Aura almost choked on her soup. After so long years,Drake is talking to her directly dropping all his ego. Well, even i couldn't believe my eyes.
