LEYLA'S POV:-
I was sitting on the beach, looking at the calmed weave of the sea. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "You look comfortable." I smiled widely as I heard Kurt's voice. He sat down beside me, hugging his knees. Just the way I was sitting. I turned my head towards him and winked at him.
"The real question is, why did you bring me here? Because, last I remember, you said we will be in Oregon for our next date. But we are at the beach in New York City." I asked him in a dramatic tone that made him chuckle.
He laid down on the sand with one of his hands under his head. He opened the second arm for me. I smiled shyly then laid down with him. My head was on his chest as he wrapped his arm around me. "Well, you have been pretty disturbed lately. You talk to me but I started to realize that your head was mostly somewhere else. So I thought, a small run away plan would help you sort things out. And if that didn't help, I am here to listen." He replied to me honestly. His tone was gentle. He was rubbing my back all the time to make me feel better. He was actually trying to help me. Just because I was not paying attention towards our chats.
"Awww… Kurt. That's so sweet of you. Thank you. I really needed a getaway plan like this. How thoughtful of you." I replied in the same gentle tone that he used with me. He chuckled softly then he ruffled my hair.
"Now, talk to me. What is bothering you so much? I know you are not that kind of person who would be worried over tiny things. I know, something is bothering you so much." He asked me in a worried tone and I could not help but smile at him. He was really trying his best to be actually there for me. While all I was doing was searching for a vivid memory from my childhood.
I sighed as I heard his worried tone. Sat up and averted my gaze towards the sea. "You remember, I told you that my mom and I were in a fight before we went to the yacht. It was not a normal fight. I was mad at her for forcing you and your mom to believe that I was a total nut job. In fact, I was actually fuming in anger." I started telling him the story behind my divided attention. He also sat up on the sand. I could feel his gaze on me. But I was just too emotional to look into his eyes. I knew what I did was not right.
"Hey, Sugarplum. I told you not to worry about it. I told my mom the truth. And I know your truth too. You should not be stressing yourself about something worthless. It was a lie. And lies worth nothing. Just be happy." He spoke in a gentle tone while he was caressing my head in a loving way. I turned my head towards him and gave him a gentle but huge smile. He cupped the back of my head and pulled me closer to his face. Then he pecked my forehead lovingly. I could not help but lean more into his touches.
"Thank you, Kurt. But that is not the main problem. I said so many bad things to my mom that day. My words were harsh. I was shaking in anger and when dad asked her why she did that, she replied to us as if she was proud of whatever she had done. I lost it when she said that because of her lies, I was going on a date with you." I added in a guilty tone and with a pout on my face. I knew I was guilty. But I was just worried if I could ever be forgiven.
"That's it! Look, what you did, I am not saying it was right. But I can't say either that you were wrong. You just showed her the mirror. And I am with you because you had courage to tell me the truth. Even though the truth was ugly for you to tell. You still told me. Keep this one important detail on your mind." I narrowed my head and covered my face with my hands, smiling shyly as I heard his cute words. He knew how to make a woman feel fancy from the inside. He chuckled softly then ruffled my hair again.
"Have you tried apologizing to her?" He asked me after a minute. I pulled my head out and shook my head. He sighed then scratched his chin as if he was thinking about something important.
"Okay then, call her now and apologize to her. Call her now and keep her on the loudspeaker. So I can hear her too. I will tell you what to do next. Okay? Call her, now, Sugarplum." He asked me to call my mom. I shrugged my shoulders and pulled my phone out of my pocket. I dialled my mom's number then waited for her to answer.
As the phone was ringing, my heart started racing inside my chest. I was biting my nails because of the nervousness I was feeling. After what it felt like an eternity, she finally picked up before the last bell was about to end. "Hello! What is it, Leyla? You know I am busy. So this better be important." She almost scolded me as soon as she picked up. Kurt signalled me to speak up. While I was shaking my head. I did not want to say anything.
"Leyla, speak up or I am hanging up." My mom added in an annoyed tone. Kurt gritted his teeth then glared at me angrily so I would talk to my mom.
"Mom! I wanted to say that about the other day. When I said those things to you. I mean when we fought. What I am trying to say… mom… I am sorry. I should not have said anything that harsh." I finally managed to speak up. I had a pout on my face. Kurt chuckled seeing that pout on my face. He pinched my cheek playfully and my pout deepened.
There was silence on the other side of the line. I almost thought mom would have hung up. I checked the screen. My mom was online. "Mom! Are you listening? I said, I am sorry. Mom! Say something." I spoke after a few minutes of silence. I was suddenly very curious to know what she thought.
"I am here and I am listening perfectly fine. That's all you had to say. Or do you have something more?" She asked me in an annoyed tone. A confused frown appeared on our faces as we heard mom. Kurt signalled me to answer her and I sighed.
"No, that's all I wanted to say." I replied to her and the next thing I heard was the tone that my mom had hung up. I gulped hard and looked at Kurt. He had the same shocked look on his face. Well, he was more shocked than I was. Because I knew mom and he didn't.
I growled in anger and threw my phone in the sea. "Leyla! Why would you do that?" He said as he stood up and pulled me up with him. He took me to the sea to find my phone. Which was near to impossible. When we didn't find the phone, he started splashing water on me. I smiled and splashed water on him too. We were playing with water like children. And I actually forgot everything about the call that angered me even more.
LEYLA'S POV:-We were standing in a mall. I had no idea why Kurt brought me to a mall. And when I asked him, he shushed me saying that he is the boss for now. I rolled my eyes at his dramatic acts but I could not help myself. He was cute and I started to like spending time with him. I did not say another word to him after that. He bought us ice cream. Then he made me sit on a bench and went away. And I was waiting for him, while finishing his and my ice cream. Well, I was hungry and angry. And ice cream was perfect in both scenarios.After almost twenty minutes, he came back. By then, I had finished both of our ice cream. He had a mischievous smirk on his face. I bit my lower lip with a guilty look on my face. "Sorry. I was hungry and angry and your ice cream was more delicious than mine. So I could not stop myself." I said with a guilty pout on my face. Seeing my pout, he laughed out l
LEYLA'S POV:-Once Kurt was gone, I went towards the house. The guard nodded his head at me. I walked towards him. "Did you bring the money?" The guard asked me in an excited tone. I nodded my head as I opened my purse and pulled an envelope out of my purse."Here you go. As promised. Sixty grand. Now, are you sure everything is under control?" Because once I get in, you can't get me out until I am done." I asked him in a curious tone. He opened the envelope and started counting the money. He nodded his head as he heard my question."Yes! It's fine and I have turned off all the cameras until you are done. Nobody will come back until two days later. There is something they are preparing to bring here after two days. Just go inside and get done with everything." He replied to me in a confident tone that made me roll my eyes at his non serio
LEYLA'S POV:-He looked tired. His eyes were red. His hair was messy. His lips were dry. I could almost imagine how exhausted he might be. "Oh, Kurt. I am so sorry. Let's get out of here. Let me take you home. You look exhausted." I cupped his face with both of my hands then spoke in a worried tone. He sighed and forced a small smile on his face. He pulled his phone out and dialled a number. He waited until the phone was answered."Hey, man! Found anything?" He asked on the phone and waited for the response. He sighed in a disappointed way after a minute."Yeah, I think so too. It's about to dawn in a while. We need to head home. Let's rest for a few hours then start looking for her again in the morning." He spoke in a disappointed tone. He listened to whoever he was talking to on the phone. Then he hung up. He grabbed my hand then pulled me away. We w
KURT'S POV:-I opened my eyes in the morning and found Leyla's body almost wrapped around me protectively. She was snoring softly. I chuckled softly as I saw her beautiful face in the morning. I pecked her forehead lovingly then freed myself from her tight grip. I walked towards the bathroom and took a shower. Once I was done with the shower, I wrapped a towel around my waist and stepped out of the bathroom. I went towards the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed. I leaned over and let the droplets of water fall on her beautiful face.She frowned twice then slowly opened her eyes. She gasped as she found me so close to her. I was staring into her eyes. She gulped hard while looking at my almost naked body. "I need to go. That's why I had to wake you up." I said in a guilty tone after a few minutes of silence. Seeing my face, she chuckled. She sat up on the bed, staring
LEYLA'S POV:-"Lucifer, huh! Weird. Do you know where Alina is now? I mean, I have heard that she was taken away by the police then she was sent to a psychological help center. Do you have any idea where she could have been?" I asked her in a curious tone while scratching my chin. I was so hopeful that I could meet Alina. For me, I thought she was the only one who could help me find the truth hidden behind the walls I could not touch. And Alina was my last hope to figure out all the answers I had been looking for.Hearing my question, the maid sighed in a disappointed way then shook her hand. "I am so sorry, Leyla. We know nothing about what happened to her. Even her family has no idea where she was taken." She replied to me in a disappointed way and my smile also fell. I was really hoping to see Alina to find out what she had figured out. Her story was almost like mine. A
LEYLA'S POV:-"So, Miss Summers. Tell me, what brought you here? Because I have never received a curious guest in years to visit my house. What brought you here?" He asked me in a curious tone while looking at me from head to toe. He was suspicious about me for some reason."Please, call me Leyla. I am here to ask you about Alina. Where is she? I need to meet her." I replied to him in a calmed tone. Hearing my words, his facial expressions changed. From curious to anger. I gulped hard as I was not expecting him to be angry just because I asked about his girlfriend."And you are what, another journalist or something? Who wants to show her ugly face to the world?" He roared at me as he stood up from the couch he was on and towered over me. As for me, I was so scared of him that I almost felt my heart would jump out of my chest.
LEYLA'S POV:-"But this is near to impossible. How come she and I had the same kind of accident, with the same van and that too in the same year? And after that, the same incident happened to us both. I just don't get it." I asked Ali in a confused tone while scratching my chin lightly while thinking about everything.Ali stood up and went towards the wall in front of us. He grabbed the shelf with decorative items on it and moved it. The shelf opened like a door and behind that door was a secret hidden room. I also stood up and followed him behind. As it was the only thing I could think of doing.He went towards the shelves where all the books were set. The books looked very old and ancient. He went towards the shelves where the books with black covers were. He chose one book and pulled it out. He opened the book and w
LEYLA'S POV:-"See! I was right. These diaries were meant for you. Now it's up to you to find answers. And something tells me that you don't have much time to figure it out." Ali spoke in an enthusiastic tone while looking at me. As for me, I was adjusting myself. That spark was not just knowledge. It was pure energy. Like the spiritual energies I had inside me. I was shocked because I felt strong. Actually, I felt stronger than ever. I turned my head towards Ali and frowned in confusion."What do you mean? Why am I out of time?" I asked him in a confused tone. He sighed and walked towards me. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me out of that secret room. He pulled me towards his living room. There was a big window in his living room. He pulled me towards the living room and pointed his finger towards the sky.
