Chapter Twenty
I was beyond angry I wanted to be there for him. Be near him, but I knew couldn't do that not now that. Olivia was still out there. I was beyond angry, how hard could it be to catch a lousy sociopathic stalker. For the past few days I've been ranking my mind thinking of reasons why she would target me. I came up with nothing relevant.
Chacha left and went back to work. Baba was in physical therapy. And here I was hiding at my uncle Leonardo's villa like a freaking coward for safety.
I've been here ever since the day I left the hospital while Daniel was in surgery. Leonardo and his brother straight up kidnapped me right off the sidewalk on my way to Baba. Saying it was some sort of intervention for my safety. I was beyond infuriated considering all that's happened to me. At first I tried escaping a couple of time. I even almost tried the whole bedsheets down the window like they do in the movies then realized that was the most stupidest idea I've ever come up with. My rational thinking seemed to have been thrown out since that day.
I realized after a few first explosively unchecked fits of rage. If I went near My sick dad now with a crazy psychotic stalker on the loose I would him and my sisters in danger like what happened to Daniel. So as I've been waiting for the authorities to catch her I've been staying at Leonardo's villa with him, Alex and Emilio surrounded by guards so I don't put anyone else in danger. Luckily I've been able to talk to Baba on the phone.
"Beta don't worry I'll be up and about in no time." He told me the last time we talked. No one has told him yet that I got married or that I have a stalker all he knows so far is that I discovered and met my moms side of the family and I was in Brazil right now which is a total lie. So not to shock him in his fragile state.
I'm not sure how my mental state was doing considering all I was doing was moping around. Food became tasteless and I have trouble sleeping at night, I developed some sort of chest pain. The concierge Doctor my uncles called said there was nothing wrong with me and asked if I recently went through a break up that I was suffering from love sickness.
Everything reminds me of Daniel sometimes I feel like I'm hearing his laughs when he's not even there. Other times I'm hallucinating I see him one second and then he disappears. I've been having way too many emotional outbursts. I miss him, before Daniel I didn't know that missing someone could hurt this much but I truly miss him. I can't go see him. Honestly he was the best thing I ever had with everything else going on in my life. But I couldn't risk his life again with Olivia still out there the thought of losing him for good hurt way more than not being able to see his face every day. I haven't been able to shake off the loneliness even though I wasn't alone I was living with Leonardo, Alex and Emilio.
Living with my uncles I picked up a lot on their personality traits. And Learned a lot about them. Emilio was the oldest he was married and I was really happy when I found out that I had cousins. Aline was twenty-two and Gabriela who I'm assuming was named after my mom was twenty though they were both older than me and have never met me before you'd assume talking to them would be awkward but honestly it wasn't formally awkward. Talking to them helped me forgets little about my pain. Aline reminded me lot of Muhammad with his semi geeky personality and he was also a musician. Gabriela was a designer, which is impressive considering how famous her clothing line is and she's only twenty.
From what I could understand Alex wants to stay single for life. And that was because the last serious relationship he had ended sourly. He doesn't like to speak about it. I found that out because Leonardo told me.
Leonardo is engaged but the engagement was more of a business merger than a love one. Which I found strange considering the chemistry between him and Yessica.
As for my grandparents they are both retired and they live apart. They got divorced a long time ago not long after my mom disappeared.
I learned a lot asking to my uncles about my mom. It somehow helped me feel closer to her considering I never before has anyone to talk to her about.
"I know this might be hard for you guys but I want to know what happened that my mom ran away from home?" I asked one day trying to occupy myself from thinking of Daniel
"My sister converted to Islam at the age of sixteen. Our parents didn't like her lifestyle. The day she ran away, She had a huge with our dad. We all thought she went out to cool herself down but she never came back home." Emilio answered
"Our mother never forgave our father for that." Alex added
"I told mom we found Angel." Leonardo randomly bursted out
"Are you crazy!!" Emilio yelled
"I didn't tell her about Aziza. She says she's on her way here she'll land in a hour. Do you want to meet her?" Leonardo tried reverting the attention from him to me
"Mama's boy has striked again. How stupid can you be Leo." Alex told after smacking Leo in the back of the head
"Hey she asked and I told her."
"It's all your fault Emilio you shouldn't have let him in on this." Alex accused.
"I would love to meet her." I declared trying to prevent a war from breaking out they all looked at me Leo was smiling gratefully and when Alex tried to protest Emilio shut him up
Before she came. Emilio asked if I could stay in my room for a bit so they could tell her. That's why when she came to the villa I was in my room for a little before someone knocked my door.
"Aziza can we come in, there is some one we'd like you to meet." Emilio's voice asked I opened the door to see all of them standing there. Looking at me
"Aziza we'd like you to meet your grandmother." Before he stepped aside and an elderly woman came into view. She had long wavy and dense hair that looks like they where once brown but have been dyed blonde. She was wearing a simple blue dress with a grey cardigan and blue sandals. What caught me the most was the look in her eye. Though they were read from crying they were also very welcoming.
"Hello Aziza." She spoke first as she wiped tears from her eyes. I'm not sure what drove me to do what I did next but I felt the need to comfort her. So I came closer to her wrapped my arms around her and hugged her. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I noticed that even though she was mourning the lost of her daughter she was savoring moments with me.
"I'm really grateful I had the chance to meet you." I told her which brought tears into her eyes.
"So Am I neta. So tell me more about Yourself." I don't why but I ended up telling her about everything from what parents, my sisters, about chacha. The stalker What happened to Daniel I talked to her about everything. I never talk much in my life by the time we were done talking a whole day had passed and it was past midnight. I kinda understood why Leonardo had a hard time keeping things from her. She had a way of getting people to open up and tell her everything.
~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Maria had called me a couple time which was really sweet of her considering how busy she was moving into her dorm room and getting ready to start her classes.
"Why are you such a pushover." She accused me of one day after I told her how I was feeling and what's going on.
"I'm not!" Getting a bit irritated
"Then why are you still moping around? Did you know that Daniel thinks your dead."
"That's crazy why would he think that?"
"I'm not sure of the details but I have a feeling your in-laws are behind it. It's so F**** up."
"They can't do that."
"Well honey I think they did, let me check something... Oh shit!"
"What's wrong what happened."
"Oh shit Did you hear!?!" Maria asked practically screaming though the other line
"Calm down hear what?"
"Daniel freaking Morton can see again."
"Daniel can see?"
