I Have A Story To Tell

chapter#13

Early morning on the breakfast table Gabriel and complete family except Mark were having an early morning meal just like an old ritual. Lisa usually likes it but today is not the day. She was not enjoying her son's presence. Anna was busy eating the Sandwich from her plate. She strictly follows doctors' advice and usually has a healthy meal like a scrambled egg with bread, nuts, juice of fresh fruits and a cup of light tea, not a strong one.

"Where is Mark, mom?" Gabriel asked after observing that it been a while and he was still not the breakfast table.

"Show some gratitude, Gabriel, I'm your mother. you are back after a whole month and you are asking about Mark," Lisa said in an annoying tone.

She was just covering for Matt as he was not at home and especially for Veronica their new guest. 
 

What if Veronica comes into the dining room...how will I cover it. The thought cross Lisa's mind.

In the meanwhile Jennifer enter the room and come close to Lisa and whisper in her ears "she's gone, Lisa "

A smile gets plastered on her face. She takes a breath of relief.

"I should go and check on my irresponsible son," Anna announced and was about to leave when Gabriel find his own key" Wait Anna darling leave him, he should be more careful about his attitude. he should know that  his parents are back after a whole month"

"I don't know what bad I  have done in this life to get a son like him," Anna said.

"I wish you really know your son Anna, " Lisa thought...

There is this confusion between both the mother and the son but the twist in the story is that all the misunderstanding is created by his own father. That was the only way to emotionally blackmail Mark and make him a puppet to his planning. Since the childhood incidence, the two and fro argument between the father and the son creates distance and hatred in Anna's heart. A mother's love never vanished but the dirt of misunderstanding surrounds it. And Gabriel takes full advantage of the situation.

A family should resolve issues and value relatives but in this case, there is a family, they are related by blood but there is no relation.
Relations are made by feelings and respect, they are grown with care and love and without all these, it feels like a dried brick that is broken even with a small impetus.

"Wake up James we have landed"

Eric's emergency call and our traveling to Greece and back home was actually tiring but our journey didn't go waste. Isabelle's life was saved or I can say protected from my father and Edward Parker. Eric called us when he finds out about Izabelle. He finds her last day in the truck's back unconscious. Gabriel had ordered his men for her murder. Eric takes her to the hospital on time. Her condition was worse. She was on highly dosed drugs. The doctor finds the case suspicious but before he could call the police, Eric takes her from the hospital to Gabriel's mansion. He called our family doctor Leah and us to handle all the legal situations. It is our utmost duty to control the situation and indirectly stop our father from doing more harm. Izabelle was pregnant. Leah confirmed it but who is the father of the baby still unknown. She is in shock and still under medication. I trust Eric with my life I know that he will protect her from every harm even self-harm. Leah promises to take care of her health. We fake plan the murder of Isabelle as we know Gabriel and his business partner Edward parker and his father lewis Parker wants confirmation of her death. It was for sure this time they have bigger planning. They want to achieve something big but what?
We have to solve the mystery.

"Don't disturb this continuous traveling just have drained me and my energy. Let me sleep."James winced.

"Wake up sleeping beauty Gabriel is waiting for us. We can't be late."

"Why is he waiting?? Who told you?" He asked still sleepily but someone needs to feed this in his brain they have LANDED and the plane can't let him sleep in it.

"Dodo told me, now let's go!" He shouted. Other passengers turn to see what just happens he just smiles sheepishly.

"Stop shouting!!!" James shout in equal tone" you are hurting my ears"

"Will you both just keep quiet and leave the plane." The Airhostess asked them.

James was fully awake and saw the angry expression on Mark's face. without further arguing, so he gallantly stands and starts following Mark Who was currently holding his small shoulder bag.

They sat in their car. James knew not to talk when he completely pisses off Mark.
But staying silent is not his thing he needs to start a conversation with something, anything. Also, he knows his friend and most importantly what is he thinking.

"I think Isabelle is pregnant with Edwards parker child."

"Ahh! what?" Mark said, his trance was breaked

"Welcome to the Earth" He knows how to make Mark smile.

"Shut up man! And tell me what were you saying"

"IthinkIzabelleispregnantwithEdward" he said in a single breath.

"I don't know the gibberish language" he takes a deep breath," say it properly".

"Ok man I think Isabelle is pregnant with this Edward guy."
James said this time with a lot of clarity and was waiting for Marks's reaction.

"That is exactly what I'm thinking for the last six hours. I saw her man she is beautiful and from a good family plus she was kidnapped, tortured and they were planning to murder her even they know that her family is searching for her. But to protect her and her baby from any kind of harm we have to keep her hidden and Eric is best at this. Her fake death news will shake her family but it is ok for some time. When she learned more acceptance we will let her free when we know that she and her baby is fine. This is the only way we can protect her. I know that her family will understand her and be more supportive."

"I understand you are worried but I infer you care, care a lot for her whatever you do I'm equally supportive. But have one question if she is pregnant with Edward's child than why on Earth he wanted to kill her"

"I don't know James, I wish I know but I don't know" he whispered and turn his focuses towards the window.

And rest of the way James find the silence more comforting than the painful conversation.
