《The Wrong Twin》Chapter 37:Felicity
Advertisement
I entered the house and it was eerily quiet.It felt empty in some ways.Its because Mama and Saphia are gone...
I walked further to the kitchen and saw Lily painting her nails.Her eyes concentrated while she bit her lower lip.
I walked upstairs and saw Andrea's room slightly open.Her door is always closed tight.So out of curiosity I pushed it slowly and the lights are off,I switched it on seeing he room is empty.I shrugged and closed the door.
The next day I woke up seeing Lily in the kitchen wearing her flirty eyes as always but I was never interested.
I glanced at my watch
She should be up right now...
I grabbed my coffee and went upstairs to knock on her door.I twisted the door knob and it is unlocked.I pushed it open and found the room I saw last night...empty
I was questioned but I tried to answer my own
Maybe she went out early...
"Where is Andrea?"I asked Lily as I got downstairs
"No Idea"She shrugged
As I was leaving I saw Adriano standing by my car
"Have you seen Andrea?"I asked entering the car
"She left sir"He informed pausing me to my place
"What?"I asked"We had a contract she agreed to abide with for a year"I said in irritation
I fished my phone and dialed her phone
"What?"She asked
My eyebrows rose up feeling her anger through the phone
"Where the hell are you?Did you forget we had a contract"
"I am very much aware Mr.Romano but we dont have any events today so I decided to go on a trip"She said
"Fine Miss Frause,wherever you are you got two weeks"I said
"Fine"The she cut the call
There is the Frause I met before...I think I just spoke to the old Frause

I was in my office resting my forehead on my knuckles while my head throbbed in pain
I finally stood and decided to go home.As I exited my head pained more seeing Anna being the Anna I do not know anymore with those seductive make up and revealing clothing
"Cancel every appointment today and reset them tomorrow"I ordered
"Are you okay?"She asked about to touch me but I looked at her freezing her hand midway
"You might want to dress up with more class and less a whore while you are in my office"I said then left.
I pulled up in my garage and entered the house
"What do you mean where is she?"she asked in fury
"I-I dont know...are you sure you are in the right house?"Lily's voice is full with panic
I walked to the kitchen looking what the fuck is going on
Then a view of a woman froze me to my feet
Her golden hair and eyes...
She looked very ill,sunken dark eyes,thin body...but I can vaguely recognize her face
Where have I seen her?
I stood there looking straight at her remembering where I have seen her
"Ah you must be the husband"She smiled kindly
She the woman who shoved fear into Andrea
"Can I have a word with you in my office?"I asked as I remembered exactly where I have seen her
Yes...I am sure that is her
She was questioned but she still nodded
I closed the door behind her and leaned on the door seizing the only escape route from her
"You are Felicity Wuert? correct?"I asked with my heart beating fast
Her eyes circled in shock
"How did you know my name?Have we met before?"She asked nicely concealing her shock

"And you are my wife's mother?"I asked
"Yes"she nodded
"And who is her father?"I asked firming my hand guarding the door
she laughed
"My husband of course boy are you playing a joke?"
"His name?"I asked hearing my heart pound
Her face straightened
"Is she Cesare's daughter?"I voiced the question ringing in my head
Her eyes blazed in a bitter fire of rage
"Let me out!"She exploded but I stood firm by the door
I grabbed her shoulder and stared straight into her eyes seeing her rage in concurred with fear
"Is she Cesare's daughter?"I asked once more
"Who are you?how did you know that man?are you one of his men?"
"Yes and you need to answer me too"
She shook her head
"No"She cried"She died I killed her"
"What?"
"A-abortion...please let me go"She pleaded I was shocked so my grip loosened causing her to break free and run outside.
I sat on my chair remembering the time I opened a book inside Cesare's drawer and found a picture inserted between a page.She has golden hair and her eyes concealed with sunglasses.She was wearing a floral dress with a wide smile.Behind her was a sea.From then I figured she someone very special to Cesare.Then one night I took Cesare to his house he was very drunk he started crying about a woman who carried his child but ran away.
But why did she ran away?Is she telling the truth?what if Andrea is actually his daughter?or maybe the lost sibling Andrea is trying to find?
I stood from my chair and called Adriano.
"No further informations it says she said she had three children but it says both are deceased and only Andrea is the only one alive"He informed
"What if the two are hidden?"
"Possible"he replied
"But why would Andrea look for a sister who is declared dead?she must've have some proof"I said walking around
"Why are you so interested in her siblings"Adriano asked
"She is a jewel that must be returned to the owner"I said
