I woke up early today to do my daily routine. I have my morning exercise then I took a shower, had my breakfast. Then Denyx insisted that I should be home today because the warrant of arrest for Mike was already released. When I was reading some news I heard a door bell rang.
I stood up and opened the door.
“Good morning babe.” Denyx was standing in front of my door and kiss me on my cheek while standing in front of him.
“Good morning too.” I smiled.
“Can I come in?” He asked
“Yeah of course! please come in.”
“Did uncle Arthur call you?”
“No not yet and I am waiting for his call.”
He walked to the living and sat down on the couch. He tap the couch of his right hand to signal that I should sit next to him.
“Come here sit next to me.” He ordered and I walk came closer and sat next to him. He put his arms around my body and I snuggle to him. He kissed my head and said.
“I got an information that Mike’s real name isn’t Mike Cameron but Mike Dela Vega.”
I looked up to his face.
“What do you mean he’s not Mike Cameron?” I asked.
He gave me a smacked kiss on my nose.
“Yes, his name is Mike Dela Vega. He came from Manhattan where my father lived before when he was young.”
“Why did he changed his name then?” I asked.
“That’s I don’t know babe. But I remembered one time that mom mentioned about dad’s best friend. His mother told my mom about dad’s best friend but unfortunately when dad undergone with a brain tumor his memory was affected. Then they moved to the place where our mansion is located at the moment. I am not sure about it yet.” He explained
“There must be something in the past that connects with Mike and your dad.” I am feeling confused.
“That’s what I am finding right now. I asked the investigator to dig more about Mike Dela Vega. We will go to see your dad and mom so would you like to change your clothes or you’re okay of what you’re wearing?” He asked me.
“Just give me two minutes to change into jeans and then we can leave.”
I went inside my room and opened my closet. I took out my jeans and black blouse for change. I slipped on my clothes and came out the room. Denyx was still sitting on the couch reading the news paper I was reading before he came.
“Let’s go?” I told him.
He stood up and look at me then he moved closer to me.
“You look gorgeous baby.” He kissed me on my lips then hugged me tight.
I slightly slapped his arm and pushed him.
“Come on babe it’s time to leave you don’t have to flirt on me. We have important matter to do.” I told him because I am a little bit nervous actually.
He is my first boyfriend and I don’t have any idea what to do everytime he is near.
“Baby I know but I just can’t help myself because you really look gorgeous. You look nervous you know that?” He was teasing me.
“Come on babe, let’s go. Dad must be waiting for us.”
“Okay, just relax. You know I won’t force you. of something you doesn’t want to do. Trust me okay?” He was following me behind while I am walking toward the door.
“I trust you babe. It’s just I am new to it, I hope you understand that.” I told him.
He held my shoulders and turned me around to face him.
“My love, I completely understand you okay? I want you to be comfortable with me and our relationship. All I want you to do is trust me because I won’t hurt you and that’s a promise.” He looked seriously in my eyes.
I nodded my head and smiled.
“I trust you babe. Thank you for your patience.” I put my arms around his neck and initiate the kiss. I kissed him and he kissed me back pulling my body closer to him. His hands are on back.
Suddenly my phone rang and it startled us both.
We laughed of it because we were both focus on each other.
I took out my phone in my bag and I saw it was Jerome calling.
“Babe it’s Jerome calling.”
“You should pick up the call babe. He might have important things to tell you.”
I answered the call.
“Good morning honey pie. I will be back this afternoon. I just finished with the meeting and everything is sort out.” He informed me.
“Thank you buddy. I will wait for you today. You have a lot of things to know while you weren’t here.”
I told him.
“Are you okay? Something happen?” He asked
“I’m good Jerome. There’s nothing bad happen to me. I just want these to discuss with you personally and not just over the phone, you deserve to know everything when you come back here.”
“Alright then, glad to hear you’re okay. I’ll see you later.”
“See you later buddy. Bye.”
I hanged up the call and looked at Denyx who was quietly waiting for me.
“Let’s go?” I told him
“Yeah, come.” He replied.
He opened the door for us and we left the apartment.
I called my father while we were walking to Denyx car.
“Good morning dad.”
“Good morning too sweetheart. You will meet me at the police station okay?”
“Okay dad we will.”
“Is Denyx with you?”
“Yes, dad he is with me.”
“Good then… Take care. I’ll see you there.”
“Okay dad, you too take care and see you.”
Denyx opened the door for me before going to the other side and get in the car.
Denyx drove us to the police station where we will meet dad.
“Are you okay?” He asked me while he was driving.
“A little bit nervous actually.” I told him. He held my left hand and kissed it.
“I’ll promised everything will be alright.”
I looked at him and smiled.
“Thank you babe, I don’t know what will happen without you.”
“It’s okay baby. As long as I am here I’ll protect you.”
We’ve reached the police station and dad was already there waiting for us.
Denyx parked the car next to my dad’s car and we get off from the car.
“I’m sorry dad to kept you waiting.”
“It’s nothing sweetheart I just reached here too.”
“Good morning uncle Arthur.” Denyx greeted my dad.
“Good morning Denyx. Have you informed your mom?” Dad asked him.
“Yes, they’re home only and she’s expecting the police to be there very soon.”
“Good. I hope she’s doing okay?”
“She is uncle Arthur she knew it and she is prepared for it.” Denyx told dad.
He nodded his head.
“Sir excuse me, you can sit here while you’re all waiting for the police officers to comeback with Mike Cameron.” One of the police officer told us to wait at the waiting area.
We all sat down and suddenly I remembered what Denyx told me before we left my apartment.
I faced dad and asked him.
“Dad, do you know that Mike Cameron isn’t his name?”
“No Sweetheart, I don’t know.”
“Well Denyx said that he hired an investigator to investigate Mike’s whereabouts and it came out that his real name was Mike Dela Vega.”
“What? Mike Dela Vega?” My dad asked surprisingly.
“Yes, that’s right uncle Arthur.” Denyx said.
“No… no… How can it be?” My dad murmured.
“Dad calm down.” I told him because he was disturbed.
“Denyx your father’s best friend was Mike Dela Vega.” My dad told us and both of us froze.
“What do you mean uncle?” Denyx was confused.
“Me and your father went to the same university. He used to be lonely. And one day when he was sitting under the tree at the school campus I decided to come and talk to him.
I asked him why he is alone under that tree. He told me that it reminded him of his best friend Mike Dela Vega. His the only best friend who understands him. He told me how they became friends and how much time they spent everyday. Sneaking out at night just to sit under the tree while watching the starts. Mike and Alfred were very close to each other. Until one day Alfred needs to leave the place because they were moving here in L. A, for the reason of your grandfather’s business matter. Then he left while Mike stayed in Manhattan.
The friendship they had was very special. They found each other when they were both lonely.
Alfred used to talked about him. They exchanged letters most of the time until you’re father discovered he has a brain tumor.” Dad explained
“Oh my gosh…” I gasped covering my mouth with my right hand.
“Alfred stopped responding to Mike’s letter because he said it was for Mike’s own good. He doesn’t want him to worry about him. He doesn’t want him to move in L. A and leave what his life was because of his sickness. Alfred wanted Mike to have his normal life without worrying him. So that’s when the letter completely stopped.
Mike didn’t send more letters after a year that Alfred stopped writing to him. Then Alfred’s parents decided to left that house and they moved to your mansion where you were born.” My dad told us.
I held Denyx hands and pressed it even there’s no word come out my mouth. I let him feel I am next to him.
I saw how sad he is hearing this story.
“When Alfred was diagnosed with brain tumor he had undergone two operations which damaged his memory. He forget who he was, the people who he knew before even your grandparents and that’s includes me. But we didn’t stop there. We helped him live a new life. He started over again building a new memories with us and unfortunately Mike wasn’t present in his new life and new memories.”
My dad spoke softly and sad. While I was crying hearing this story.
“I met Mike several times before Amy died because he worked to your family but I didn’t know that Mike Cameron was Mike Dela Vega.”
My father looked at Denyx who was been silent while I am holding his hands.
“Babe I’m sorry to hear these.”
He looked me and dad and gave us a half smile.
“If we just know it earlier we might know the reason why Mike killed aunt Amy and supposed you too babe.” Denyx said in a very depressing tune.
I took a deep breath and hugged him.
“Surely we will find out. You’re father has a good reason why he didn’t tell Mike about his sickness and that’s because he loved Mike.”
Denyx nodded his head.
