75 KNOX’S LOVER

“Someone asked to see Knox?” Anne wanted to make sure that what she heard was right and the maid nodded her head. “Who is this person?”

The maid looked troubled. She shifted from one leg to another when she answered her. “She said that she is Mr. McKeltar’s girlfriend and insisted on meeting him now.”

“What?” Anne was surprised. She knew that Gael was obsessed with Lise, but she never heard anything about Knox’s love life. “Do you know her?” She turned her attention to Gael and from his expression, yes, he knew about this girl. “Who is she?”

Gael grunted, he then stood up from his seat and stomped his feet toward the door. “I will go and send her away.”

“Who is this girl?” Anne immediately stood up from the bed as well and followed Gael to the door; she wanted to see the girl who became Knox’s lover.

How could he hide it from her so well?

==================

Sol could fathom what Lise had gone through for her to decide to get rid of the baby, but as they came for the second time and she had to undergo a thorough check up again, it turned out that she would have a hard time conceiving another baby in the future if she insisted on getting abortion now.

And due to her medical condition, the process of abortion would put herself in danger as well.

.....

Yet, Lise kept telling them that she didn’t want this baby, until Sol asked them to leave the room and let him talk to her alone.

“Lise,” Sol approached her once all the doctor and nurses were no longer inside the room, but what he got was a glass that was thrown at his shoulder.

Sol moved with ease to dodge it and proceeded to take a seat beside her. She flinched when their shoulders made contact, as she hugged her own body.

“You don’t understand... you don’t understand... this baby is evil...” she cried out loud, she couldn’t bear to give birth to this baby or to even look at it.

She felt disgusted with herself since she had this baby inside of her stomach. She knew it was not right, she was not evil to try to get rid of an innocent soul, but...

Lise cried silently, she buried her face in her palms, as her body started trembling uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Sol couldn’t offer her any comforting words, since no words could make her feel better, but he knew if she miscarried now, it wouldn’t only take an innocent life, which meant against everything that he believed, but it would also put Lise’s life in danger.

He couldn’t afford that.

“Give birth to the baby,” Sol said, his voice was low, unsure of what he was talking about, but he needed her to know what he had in his mind. “I will take the responsibility.”

All of a sudden Lise put down her hands and glared at Sol with hostility. “You don’t understand what you are saying!” she screamed and then jumped from the bed, where she was sitting. “I don’t want this! I DON’T WANT THIS!”

Lise became hysterical, and hit her own stomach, hoping it could help her to suffer a miscarriage.

But, Sol moved very fast to catch her hands and pinned her on the bed, as she thrashed and tried to hit him back, Lise even bit his hand very hard, until Sol had to clench his teeth when the blood oozed out from his wounds.

Sol let her do as she pleased, if that was the only way to make her slightly feel better and her way to vent out her anger, frustration and everything that she felt, he wouldn’t complain.

Instead, Sol sat down on the bed and pulled her closer, hugged her from behind, while she was still biting him.

“You can hurt me however you want, but I don’t want to see you get hurt even further,” Sol said to Lise, as he hugged her tighter when she bit him even harder. “I love you, Lise... I really do. Please don’t do this to yourself. I want you to know that I will be with you no matter what...”

==================

Anne followed behind Gael when he walked out of the front door and saw a young girl, who looked so beautiful and stunning, but not only that, Anne knew who the girl was...

Of course, she didn’t know her personally, but she knew her because she was an actress, to say that she was famous would be an understatement.

July Williams.

She was a young actress whose name would be in the headlines for weeks when her movies came out.

Even though she was wearing a pair of tinted sunglasses, Anne couldn’t be mistaken about this fact. No way. Knox had a relationship with her? Did she know what Knox was? Or how far their relationship and what had Knox told her? Did he mention anything about the supernaturals’ realm?

Anne’s head was spinning with a lot of questions.

But Gael didn’t seem surprised at all to see the actress right at the doorstep of this manor.

“I want to see Knox,” July said decisively, she took off her sunglasses and looked Gael straight in the eyes. “Is he inside?”

“You can’t go to see him.” Gael stood in front of July, folding his arms, as he reciprocated her glare.

“I need to know his condition.”

“Fine.” Gael shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “Tell me where your brother is, bring my wife and I will let you in.”

July’s expression hardened when she heard that, but then she resumed her calmness. “I don’t know, we haven’t heard any news about him.”

“Liar,” Gael scoffed at her face. “Do you think you can lie to me?”

“Do you think you can stop me from coming in and see him?”

“Of course I can. Knox is dead. He will not be here even if I strangled you to death.”
