I walked along the path towards the hotel I booked down and depressed. Michael followed behind me and eventually cleared the air by asking “Why do you suddenly want to find out who your true parents are?” I sighed and rubbed my arm. “I don’t know… I see Robin and how happy he is, I… just feel a little jealous. I never got that with my parents. So I just want to find them. Am I selfish?”
“I think-” “That was rhetorical.” He kept quiet after that. “Ever since you came to my manor in Italy, you’ve changed.” I smirked. “How so?”
He then stopped and looked at me. “You’ve become someone that you aren’t. You’re a girl. You’re allowed to cry. You’re allowed to sob. You’re allowed to indulge yourself. You’re allowed to be spoilt. Because, no matter what, Zack will still love you. You get me-“
Immediately, he froze up as he saw the tears pour out of my eyes. “I just… I just want to have a warm hug with my parents. Is that too much to ask? I want to be strong, for Zack and Robin’s sake… I can’t let them see me cry. Not even look sad. I’m his strong wife and the mother that Robin looks up to. I can’t show them this side of me, no matter what.”
Then, Michael hugged me, putting his arms around me. “It’s okay. I don’t see anything so… you can cry. But Alice… I wouldn’t care if you cried all the time or not. To me, I love you just the way you are.”
That suddenly woke me up as I pushed him away. “Come on, I’m tired. I need to go to sleep. We’ve got an early flight to catch tomorrow. And now… you’re free. Bye, Michael Jones.” And just like that, I walked towards the hotel, not looking back.
He was free. He had no obligation to continue searching… but something compelled him to go back to that place. He needed to stop those tears from flowing. It hurt everytime he saw me cry. It was painful and he knew that he’d regret it if he ran away now.
In Laurent’s place, he was slowly drowning in a pool of alcohol. He hummed a melody all while drinking himself blind. “I know that you know something.”
Laurent immediately stopped drinking. “It’s you again… what do you want?” Michael walked towards the chair in front of his and sat down in it. “A drink. Maybe drinks. It depends on my mood and your answers.”
Laurent proceeded to pour him a drink. “Does she know? Did you tell her?” He chuckled. “Tell her what?”
He looked right up to him. “You know exactly what.” He shook his head. “No… I didn’t. Because the person that she wants to hear it from isn’t me. It’s you. Her father.”
He sighed. “What gave it away?” He smirked. “How she found out your name. The way that you recognised her as someone else. The way you looked at her like she was a ghost. And most of it was just pure luck but… you really are her father. Wow… Laurent Anders has a daughter. Your enemies would die to get that information.”
He sighed and held his head. “I didn’t even know it at first. I met Arabella Black while I was working undercover in the military. She was a beautiful among beauties and had a heart of gold. She was the first woman that I actually fell in love with. No woman has ever tasted as sweet as she did after that.”
He clenched his fists. “When I learnt that she had died giving birth to a child that could have only been mine, I couldn’t bear to look at it or even see it. That child had taken her away from me. So, I-” “Ran away?”
He remained quiet. “Is she happy?” He nodded. “She’s married to my twin brother and has a child of her own. His name is Robin and he is… something.” He then pointed his glass towards him.
“But you love her.” He smiled, looking at the liquid in front of him. “I love her so much it hurts everything I think of her in my brother’s arms.” He grinned. “Welcome to the world of love, where hurting is as common as the flu.”
