Love Affair Part 2
Chapter
2 – Hello Mrs.Moore
How long had it been since they saw
each other? Olivia Moore tried to remember. It seemed impossible, but she
couldn’t recall Caleb’s hands around her waist since they had exchanged vows
and kissed in her wedding day. Seven a.m flight and a three-hour
delay with an unplanned stop in Jakarta, finally the flight was over and landed
in Bali. It felt familiar but exciting, and when she saw Caleb stood among a
lot of people in front of the arrival gate, she was so happy. She was also
relieved to be back from Paris and felt safe snuggling into Caleb’s arms and
said, “I miss you so much! Don’t you think I deserve a tight hug and kiss?”
Then, with a gentle move, Caleb grabbed Olivia’s face and kiss her passionately for seconds. “And yes, I miss you too, Liv! Come on, let’s get going.”
Then, with a gentle move, Caleb grabbed Olivia’s face and kiss her passionately for seconds. “And yes, I miss you too, Liv! Come on, let’s get going.”
They both walked to the parking lot
and Liv held Caleb’s hand so tight until they reached the car. Caleb opened the
baggage and put Liv’s suitcase in there, then he opened the door for her like
any other gentleman would do for their first date. Inside the car, he tapped on a
small TV screen for maps and set course to Blue Point Bay Villa which took 25
minutes driving. While driving, they both had conversation.
“It’d been a year and half since I
had been in Paris and I felt sorry for leaving you and also the last time we
met in Singapore was quite short, don’t you think?”
“It’s okay Liv, that was worth it
and at least we met and spent time together, right? Besides, I really had a
good time there even though I hated when your boss suddenly showed up and wanted
you to represent her at the Victoria Secret’s show. It was suppose to be our
night together. Anyway, how’s Paris?”
“Yeah, I couldn’t agree more and I am
so sorry about my boss. She always be like that and she is a person who
wouldn’t take no for an answer. Ah, Paris was wonderful. I love it and became
an editor in Runway magazine was amazing! A million girls would die for having
this job. What a pity, it was only just temporary. I wish I could work longer
but leaving you is much hurting me. So, how’s your business going?”
“I know that working in fashion
magazine has always been your dream. That’s why it didn’t bother me when you
decided to go to Paris. I just want your dreams come true,love. Instead, maybe
you can open your own clothing line and fashion magazine here! Well, as my
business, everything’s totally great. Besides, I’ve already finished
redecorating our house.”
“Really? Oh my goodness, you are so
sweet darling! I can’t wait to see it! Well, about the clothing line, I think
that’s a good idea. Wow, a lot have changed around here!”
Olivia’s
eyes widened and gazed at a wonderful sea view from the window’s car. Then she
lowered it to get a better look. It was so sunny that day at Blue Point Bay.
The water was so clear and the summer breeze filled the air.
“Oh
how I miss the summer breeze in here! I almost forgot how it feels like. Paris
was so cold in fall and winter that sometimes I couldn’t even feel my hands.”
“Don’t
worry darling, you’ll get used to it. Today, you just need to rest and relax
because tomorrow I’m going to take you to some places and it’s going to be
great. Ah, here we are. Our house.”
Caleb
stopped the car and parked it. Olivia quickly stepped out of the car and looked
at the house. She was mesmerized. The house made it worthwhile, although house did not come close to accurately
describing the place. It was like a wonderland. A charming, village-like
wonderland, which was near around a crescent-shaped beach. The front room, an
open-air pavilion with marble floors and Balinese-style wood carved furniture,
was filled with birdcages and singing tropical birds and looked on an ocean
which was so clear and blue that Liv momentarily thought that she was
hallucinating. Then, Caleb led her to the master bedroom on second floor. When
she had stepped onto her room, she pushed herself to sit on the bed and
surveyed her surroundings. Her king platform bed was draped with all white
linens, and the mattress was magically firm and soft at the same time. There
was a coconut-wood table and chairs near the door and a sectional sofa with
glass coffee-table to the left of the bed. From the balcony, she could see an
outdoor pool on the first floor which faced the sea. She also surveyed the
bathroom. White marble covered nearly every surface in the bathroom, there was
a round tub at the left corner and a shower beside it, towels so fluffy and
white, and fresh frangipani flowers adorned the dressing area.
After
a moment Caleb’s voice broke the silent. “So, what do you think? Do you like it
my dear? The house, the design and every details in it?”
Liv
was still in amazement, but then she replied, “WOW, this is wonderful! I can’t
even find the right words to describe my thoughts. You are amazing! I love this
house, the ambience’s really great. Now, I think I’m gonna have a long hot
bath. Do you mind?”
“Of
course, Liv. Anything you want. Just sit back and relax. Okay? And hey, I have
to go now because there’s a client already waiting on me in the office and I
have to meet him. I’m so sorry I can’t stay a bit longer. But, I’ll be back for
dinner. So, I’ll see you later. I love you!”
“That’s
okay. Client is your priority too. I’ll be ready by the time you get back. I
love you too!” Olivia hugged him so tight and then Caleb gave her a gently
kissed on her forehead.
As
soon as Caleb left, Olivia turned on the hot water and stuck her feet directly
under the stream then slowly soaking her body. Her entire body felt exhausted,
but her mind was awake and racing. After a few more minutes of soaking, her
cell-phone rang so she had to force herself climbed out of the luxurious tub
and walked toward the side of the bed and pulled the cell-phone from her bag.
“Hey, Emily! I was about to call you.”
“Where
are you exactly? I’ve been texting you
since you’ve landed. You know that we were suppose to meet up at Garden Bistro
fifteen minutes ago, right? Or did you forget about that too?”
“Yeah,
I am so sorry Em. I couldn’t text you back because I was with Caleb all the
time and I didn’t want to make him suspicious. So, did you see her?”
“Not
just see her. I talked to her a while ago to order our meals. Why don’t you
just get here as soon as possible? You can see her yourself because of what I
saw, she wasn’t a type that would ruin someone’s marriage. I think you don’t
have to do anything to her, I mean your plan of kidnapping her, isn’t it too
much?”
“Look,
Em. You can’t judge someone just by the looked of her. Whatever she has with
Caleb, it’s surely will ruin my marriage. Caleb’s been changed for the past few
months and I bet it has something to do with her. And about the kidnapping, it
is just for a prank. It is meant to scare her and make her go away. Relax Em,
nothing bad will happen. Okay? Just trust me. I’ll be there in 20 minutes. See
you!”
Before
Olivia heard another words, she had already hung up the telephone. Then, she
quickly got dress and put a natural make-up look. She looked into the mirror
and calmed herself. After that, she went right away to the Garden Bistro.
Chapter 3 – As Long As
She Lived
After twenty minutes driving, Olivia
arrived at the Garden Bistro and Patisserie. She got off from her car and
walked toward the porch. From the outside sliding glass-door, she could see her
best friend, Emily, was sitting in the back of the right corner. A waitress
then slid the door opened and let Olivia in. She walked elegantly to Emily’s
table.
“Sorry
I’m late, Em. So, which one is Eleanor?” The great emphasized for which one is Eleanor made Olivia’s tone
and facial expression turned into anger and curiosity. She observed her
surroundings especially for every woman in that room.
“That’s
her. The one who stood behind a bar and wore a black apron. Seriously Liv, do
you really still want to kidnap her? You’re not thinking straight, okay. It’s
just your anger and jealousy. Maybe there is nothing between them.”
“You
don’t know that Em! Because I’m the one whose feeling got hurt. When I was in
Singapore a couple months ago, I accidentally looked into Caleb’s phone, then I
found their sweet-lovely texts saying ‘I
miss you, I love you, can’t wait to see you soon, and last night was amazing’.
So tell me Em, is that what you called nothing
between them?” Once again, Liv
emphasized the words and almost yelled at Emily but then she got her tone under
control.
“I’m
sorry Liv, I didn’t know about that. But, I really am scared about you kidnap
her. I’m afraid if something happens beyond of what we have already planned. We
can be criminals by doing it.”
“Relax
Em. Just follow my lead, okay? Nothing bad will happen. Anyway you’re a doctor
and you know exactly how to drug someone, right? Now, why don’t you just
eat and I’ll go to the bar and say ‘Hi’ to that bitch first. Then about fifteen minutes later, we’ll meet at my
car.”
“Alright,
fine. I’ll just finish my lunch first. Wait, are you sure Caleb won’t come home
sooner?”
“Absolutely!”
Olivia
breathed in and out. Then pulled herself together and walked toward the bar. But
before she could say anything, Eleanor had already greeted her warmly. “Oh my
God, you must be Olivia Moore! Caleb’s sister, right? I’m sorry, I’m Eleanor.
Caleb’s fiancée.”
With
a shocked face, Olivia forced herself and pretended to get along with Eleanor’s
story and replied, “Yeah, I’m Olivia Moore. Caleb’s
sister. Wow, you’ve already engaged to my
brother. Congratulation! He hasn’t mentioned anything about it yet. So,
tell me everything sister.”
“Oh,
really? Well, I think Caleb kept it and wanted to surprise you. He proposed me
two months ago in his house. Oh my God, I love that house. It’s amazing! The
view from the balcony and of course, the master bedroom. He made a heart-shaped
with flower petals on the floor and candles and there was a bottle of wine too.
So romantic! Anyway, how’s Paris?”
“Master
bedroom, huh? I didn’t know that my brother’s such a romantic person. So, have
you two set a date for your wedding yet? Well, Paris was great. I shopped a lot
and got a job as a magazine’s editor at Runway.”
“You’re
amazing! Million girls would die to get that job. Nah, we haven’t discussed the
date yet. Anyway, we’re not in a rush too. Do you want something to drink? I
can make you a cup of coffee or hot chocolate if you want.”
“Oh
no, thanks. Hey, if you’re not too busy, do you want to go somewhere else? I
was away for quite a long time and maybe you can show me around. Besides, I
want to know more about you.”
“Sounds
great to me. Why not! Well, I’ve already have some places in mind. Come on, let’s
go!”
“Perfect!”
Olivia
could see the excitement of Eleanor’s face. However, the anger and jealousy got
the best of Olivia. She was raging inside but she was doing the best she could
to hold it. She wore the best smile and pretended to be excited too. Both of
them then walked outside and went to Olivia’s car. There, Emily had already
waited for them.
“Eleanor,
this is my best friend, Emily and Emily, this is my soon to be a sister-in-law, Eleanor Palmer. I hope
you two will get along too. So, hop on and let’s get going girls! Today will be
a really wonderful day.”
Eleanor
and Emily, both shook their hands and got into the car, Eleanor sat in the
front seat and Emily took the back seat. Soon, Olivia started the engine and
got ready to set course on G-maps in her cell-phone. “Where to Miss?”, Olivia
asked.
“El
– Kabron Ibiza style beach club”, Eleanor replied with excitement.
“Okay!
Here we go. Hey Em, could you get my medicine
in my bag before we go? I forgot to take it earlier.” Olivia signaled Emily and
without any hesitation, Emily followed Olivia’s lead and then she quickly
grabbed a syringe filled with chloroform.
“Are
you not feeling well sister?” Eleanor asked.
With
a bit sarcastic tone Olivia answered, “Oh no, darling. It’s you who’s sick!”
Then
before Eleanor could speak another words, Emily had already drugged her by
injecting the chloroform. Soon, Eleanor became unconscious.
“Thanks
Em! Finally! I really hate listening to her voice, called me sister and all
about Caleb proposed her in our bedroom! I am going to make her regret for all
what she did to my marriage.”
Emily
was still trembling after she drugged Eleanor. “Liv, I can’t do it anymore.
This is wrong! I don’t want to get involved in any of this.”
“Get
yourself together Em! Anyway, you’ve already involved. So right now, I need you
to stay calm and stick with the plan. We’re going to take her to my house.
There’s an attic that we can use to keep her quiet.”
“Alright,
but promise me that you won’t do anything that could cost her life.”
“I
promise. I just want to scare her and to know that she isn’t pregnant.”
After
saying those words, Olivia kept driving in silence. She had so much in her mind
that she couldn’t even know where to start and how she was suppose to react.
