Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 195 - One Hundred And Ninety-Five:We Are Not Safe, Sweetheart.

"Let me out!" Vanessa beat at Miguel’s chest, as he carried her away from the front door back to her room, and placed her on the ned, but not without her fighting him every tooth and nail to get out of this hell hound, that she figured out was a prison to keep her away from the main house, because her mother had been kidnapped and there’s no call for ransom yet.

She heard everything, the conversation between him and her father last night that opened her eyes to see that this was not any romantic vacation between her and Miguel. It’s to keep her away from whoever had taken her mother, but she didn’t care. All she wanted to do was to go back to see her father, and then talk to her grandpa regarding her mother.

But then Miguel being Miguel, was playing the ever so diligent guard he was, and had tackled her tooth and nail in every aspect she came to leave, thereby making her lose any ounce of feelings she had for him. What kind of lover would he be to keep such vital information away from her? But act innocent as if he didn’t know what was happening back home.

Vanessa knew that he’s working for her father, but they have both established a certain ground in their secret relationship, to know that such information was not something he could hide from her. She didn’t know until when did him and her father were planning on letting her know, but she doesn’t care anymore.

She’s fed up with the both of them treating her like she’s a kid, when she’s mature enough to have a say in what is happening in her family. Miguel really let her down and for that she’s going to show him his place in her life, he’s nothing but a guard and that’s what he’s always going to he from henceforth.

"Vanessa baby, stop it. Please." Miguel pleaded, placing her back down on the bed as he’s still having a second thought of chaining her to the bed, so that she wouldn’t leave. But then that’s like adding more fire to the situation right now.

She hates him, and that’s something he knows which hurts.

"Don’t call me that, let me out, you self centered bulldog!" She shouted, hoping that someone...anyone could hear her voice, but that’s stupid of her to think that because the villa is in a secluded area that not just anyone could walk around the area.

"I can’t do that, it’s for your safety." Miguel said, taking the both of her in his before carrying her so that she straddled his laps. That’s an improper position for someone who was angry at him, but the look she gave him made him know this wasn’t the time for what it is he’s thinking.

Yet, even while he had her hand bonded, she tried to kick him where the sun never shined when she made her way to the ground and fell down," Vanessa, stop it, right now!!" He ordered in a really serious time, which made her still before he scooped her into his laps again.

"You lied to me." She reminded her for a thousand time, fuck! None of them was able to get any sleep but eventually after fighting him tooth and nail last night, she fell asleep knowing that she couldn’t escape the tight hold he had on her.

Only to wake up this morning, to the ringing sound of the alarm he set at the gate notifying him that she has successfully escaped, and is trying to leave the gates.

Miguel didn’t know what exactly time her father said he was coming over, after he reported the situation over to him but he should have been here by now. He has a terrific headache that has refused to die down and she’s not helping him here.

Before he could utter any words, they heard the front door open and then her father’s voice calling her made him release her hands, with one last hateful glance she sent his way, she dashed out of the room.

"Daddy!" She cried, and wasted no time jumping into his arms when she saw him in the sitting room. Relief shot through her that he’s okay, at least they didn’t come for him too the way they took their mother but then she’s angry at him too, so she wasted no time to let him enjoy the hug before pulling away from him." You lied to me too."

"Baby, I did it to keep you safe." Jason said, coming closer to her but she moved further away from him, making him more irritated than he is.

He’s having an emotional breakdown here, not only had Alex lied about his daughter being dead. She’s supposed to be dead, but luck was on his side and then the same luck had skipped him, and moved over to his son who got his daughter back, after Adrik and his dad had done god knows what to her.

But here he is, lost with no one to tell him what to do at this point he desperately needed all the help he wanted. They took his wife, they took Vanessa’s mother and he doesn’t know how he’s going to explain to his twenty years old daughter that her dead brother’s real father took her mother, because she decided to catch his fancy and give him a son.

"No, fuck you and your stupid reasons for kerling me safe. Why didn’t you tell me mother was taken away from the house that night?" She yelled, running her hands frustratingly through her hair, from her peripheral view she saw Miguel join them in the sitting room with his head bowed in shame.

"Well that’s because i didn’t know what else to do!" Jason lost control and shouted at her, making her flinch in fear from where she stood. She has never seen him this way before and today was the first.

"D..dad," She stuttered, her bravery was long gone when she saw him remove his spectacles, and run his hands down his face. Then did she know that things were more complicated than they were.

"Vanessa, I was only doing everything to make sure that he doesn’t come for you too, just like the way he did with your mother. I just wanted..." He paced but paused to catch a breath as his words heightened both Vanessa and Miguel’s curiosity for him to finish his statement.

"Daddy, what do you mean by that, who’s he?" She said, coming close to him, as he sighed then fell to the cushion as she sat beside him, her hands moving to stay on his shoulder, urging him to finish his statement.

"Your mother got involved with bad people, sweetheart." Jason said, looking at her this time, as he was still battling within himself on how exactly to sugarcoat his words so that she won’t have a heart attack after hearing this."she’s..she cheated on me and has a son with another man, but he’s not just a man."

He felt her hand leave his shoulder, the look on her face telling him that she’s trying to understand what he just said.

"Adrik is not my son, sweetheart. Your mother had him with Lucifer, the king of hell."He completed his statement, making Vanessa stand up instantly as realization dawned on her on how it was possible for Adrik to disappear and appear to her two times, looking like that.

He’s not her brother?

Knowing that did something to her, her heart shattered into a thousand pieces that it was suddenly hard for her to breathe. She nearly fell to the ground but Miguel held her instantly. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Vanessa! baby breathe for me." Jason cupped her cheeks, as she pulled away from Miguel’s embrace and sat on the cushion, her hands placed on her chest.

"That’s why he could do that." She whispered, but then her dad heard her quite well.

"Do what?" He asked, making Vanessa look back at him.

"Adrik..he..I saw him, he came to the house to see me the last two months i came back." She confessed, making Jason’s eyes widen.

"Did he hurt you? Why didn’t you tell me?"He asked, worriedly. she took a very risky move, what if he did something to her?

Why did he come to see her in the first place?

"No he didn’t! Why would he hurt me in the first place daddy? what’s happening?" She asked further, she didn’t like the way her father was portraying her brother just because her mother slept with his father.

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"I told you, last two months daddy. Why is his father holding mom, what’s wrong?" She asked further, looking back at Miguel in case he had any idea about this too, but he shook his head in denial too.

This new information is too big for him to keep away from her, and now he’s afraid of Vanessa for hiding the fact that her dead brother, who is not dead but a demon, had visited her many times.

She wasn’t scared, neither did she tell him about it.

"Your brother..." Jason paused, correcting his statement." Adrik is not who you think he is, sweetheart. He took Polina and his father took away your mother. I don’t know what their plan is, but we are not safe sweetheart.``
