Edana was disappointed and looked at her mother with great distress.
She ran to her mother and said, “Mom, I’m sorry, I can’t take you out of here.”
Her mother was weak, “It’s okay, it’s good that you came back fine.”
Edana held her mother’s hands, “I’m the one who got you into trouble.”
“How can it be? Your mother is not good enough and can’t protect you.” Her mother patted her hands.
Edana made a decision to leave here no matter what, so she made a plan to escape tonight.
In the middle of the night, it was silent. Edana helped her mother to leave, but she was surrounded when she reached the door.
The leader was already there and said, “I knew you would try to escape.”
Edana was already frustrated and shouted, “I have done so many things for you, and I don’t want to be pushed around by you. This time, I must leave here, otherwise, we will all die together.”
Her waist was tied with twelve bombs, a certain death if it were to blow off.
Before this happened, I sneaked in here, disguised as one of the cronies here. It was easy to look like one of the people here, but now I am very distressed to see Edana like this.
I approached her slowly, and she thought I was one of these people, so she spoke ill of me.
She screamed, “Don’t come over! otherwise, I will detonate the bomb now.”
I was shocked and tried to stay calm. I signaled her and said, “Don’t be impulsive, calm down, we will let you go.”
“Really?” She was confused.
As I approached, I felt a different look in her eyes, and she began to doubt my identity.
While she was in a daze, I quickly diffused the bomb.
“Go! quickly!” I pushed her and her mother out, and fought with those people myself. The men quickly arrived and stopped them all.
I tore off my mask and came to Edana.
“How are you still alive?” She was shocked.
I touched her face and said, “I haven’t taken you home yet, how could I die?”
She did not understand it, “What do you mean?”
I took her to the helicopter and flew away from this place.
“What did you mean just now?” Edana continued to ask about it.
I don’t want to hide it anymore so I explained to her “You are my wife; it was three years ago.”
“What? How is that possible? ” She really didn’t believe it.
“Yes, I am not lying to you. We were together three years ago, but then you lost your memory. I went back to find you and you were gone.”
I didn’t tell her that her memory was deleted by myself, and I didn’t tell her the existence of our son.
Edana, who didn’t believe it, looked at her mother for help.
Her mother also said, “Edana, you did disappear for a year before. After you came back, you forgot the memory of that year.”
Edana is dubious. ‘Are all these things true?’
I took them home and arranged for them to stay.
This time, I won’t let you wander around homeless again.
——————————————
On the other hand, my parents are still looking for my sister’s whereabouts, but there has been no progress, because there is still that Jack who is deliberately hiding her.
He has regarded Acacia as his accessory, and no one is allowed to covet her.
Acacia also wanted to know who her biological parents were, but she didn’t look for them specially. In her heart, Jack raised her and let her go to school. She was her only relative.
“Acacia, will you leave me one day?” Jack asked her out of nowhere.
Acacia was puzzled, “Brother, what’s wrong with you? Why this all of a sudden? ”
He added, “Please answer me.”
Acacia smiled and said, “Of course not. You are my family. How could I leave you?”
Jack seems to have reassurance and peace of mind. A notion appeared in his head, “Acacia, let’s get married, so that we will always be together.”
Acacia was startled by him and felt doubtful, “Jack, what are you talking about? we are brothers and sisters.”
Jacked insisted, “We are not related by blood. Why can’t we be together?”
Acacia was now afraid, “In my heart, I regard you as my brother and my family. As for other things, I never thought about it. Let’s not talk about it again okay?”
Jack was not willing to give up, “However, I am afraid of losing you. If one day you start your own family, you will leave me.”
Acacia saw where Jack was coming from and said, “No, Jack will always be my closest person, and I will not leave you.”
“Really?” Jack was reassured by Acacia’s words
“Of course, when did Acacia deceive you?”
Hearing her words, Jack felt relieved and held her in her arms. While doing so Jack thought to himself
‘This girl can only be mine in my life. No one can take her away from me.’
Acacia’s POV
My name is Acacia. In the past, I had a mother who loved me very much, but she later got sick and died. Before she died, she told me that my biological parents were another person, but I never met them, but my life was not that hard because I had my brother Jack who loved me. When I was growing up, he always guarded me like a knight. He didn’t want to hurt me even for a little bit.
Now I’m going to graduate from college, so as long as I win the mental arithmetic competition, I can work in the world’s top companies.
The day before the competition, I was busy reviewing, and I fell asleep in the chair. Jack came back from work.
He asked me, “Acacia, why are you sleeping here?”
My eyes were a bit blurry and I said, “I was reviewing, and I fell asleep.”
Jack replied, “You are really dedicated. Stop reviewing, I will take you to dinner and you can come back to finish it.”
“Okay.” I answered with a smile.
We went to a western restaurant. Before the dishes were served, I saw a piano in the restaurant, and my hand itched again. I wanted to play a song.
I asked the waiter, “Sir, can I play a tune on your piano?”
He said, “Of course.”
With permission, I sat down and played a song.
I didn’t know that there were a pair of eyes staring at me not far away.
When I was done playing the piano. My brother Jack came over.
He said, “Acacia, you play so well.”
I smirked and said, “Brother, don’t compliment me. You are just exaggerating.”
“You played very well. I don’t need to talk nonsense. If you don’t believe it.” Jack smiled and pointed at the crowd “Just ask the people around you.”
I was getting embarrassed so I changed the subject, “Well, let’s go eat quickly. I’m hungry.”
“Okay.” Jack agreed.
We went back to the table and talked about tomorrow’s competition.
“Do you have confidence in tomorrow’s game?” Jack asked with concern.
“Of course, I am studying about this all the time, I am sure.” I replied with confidence.
“Then today’s meal will be celebrated in advance.”
“Well, I wish myself a victory in tomorrow’s competition and a triumphant return.”
A stranger not far away looked at Jack with some anger in his eyes and said to the man beside him,
“I want all her information.”
I swear i heard him say this to the person beside him
Who was this man? Why was he investigating me?
The next day, I actually saw him in the judge’s seat. It turned out that he is Austin, the boss of a company that I could work for if I won the competition.
This competition was cruel, but I overcame all odds and won the final victory.
Austin was the one who gave me the award.
He proceeded to speak to me, “Congratulations, Miss Acacia, please come to the company tomorrow.”
I was ecstatic at the moment and said, “Ok, thank you.”
When I went back home, I was very excited to prepare for my first day of work tomorrow.
My brother congratulated me, “Acacia, you are so great, I knew you could do it.”
I was also happy that I made it, “Thank you, Brother. Rest assured that starting tomorrow I will work hard and earn a lot of money to help you.”
