GOLD BLUSTERS
CHAPTER 12
PREVIOUSLY ON GOLD BLUSTERS “My personal studio”He shouted happily…
“And make sure you have a space in the mall to sell your paintings”I warned him “Of course…”he replied…
I’m glad I was able to make him smile even after the tragedy that happened to his beloved brother..
“You made me smile… I owe you for this”he said
“Nah!!! Teddy bear you owe me nothing.. We are besties remember… My happiness lies in yours”I replied him…
“Can’t we be more than besties… This thing between us…”he paused and I left like I couldn’t breathe…
“The bound???”I questioned but my voice only came out as a whisper….
“Yes!!! This bound is stronger than you think.. I need you more than I’ve ever
needed anyone in my life..”He confessed and I gasped out loudly
“Like friends with benefits???”I murmured to myself in shock…
I cannot risk having two Koppels as rival…
When did I go wrong???
How the hell did I lead them on???
How can I escape this love war???
Ted was not supposed to have feelings for me???
ELISKA’S POV
“Lily I need you so much everyday of my life.. I don’t wanna have to share you
with any man..”Ted said as he wrapped his hands around my trembling hands…
“But someday I’ll fall in love and get married.. Or do you want me to be a nun???”I
asked trying to ease the tension…
“I know you’ll fall in love.. I don’t oppose that but I don’t want you to abandon me
like my family did”
Ahhhhh!!!!
I was overreacting…
He doesn’t have feelings, he’s scared of being alone…
His scared of losing those whom he cherish.
“I won’t abandon you Teddy bear… I love you so much.. for f**k sake you’re my
best friend… We’ve been through hell together”I tried to assure him but he doesn’t
look so convinced
“Teddy!!! Can you separate two souls from each other???”I asked him
“No!!!”he replied
“We are like that… Soul mate… Greater than friendship our souls are bound with
our love for each other…”
“Soulmate???”he questioned…
“Yes Teddy…. Soulmate”I assured him and he embraced me…
I hope I’m able to heal all his pain…
Fill his heart with love..
Drive away all the insecurities and resentment he has for his family…
They wronged him, but they also loved him…
I need to heal and fill every void in his life…
I will make him trust his family again…
I’ll bring back my old Ted…
The one whom his family abandoned and labelled the outcast of the family…
They used him..
They lied to him….
They broke his trust…
They toss him away to heal himself…
But I protected him…
Just the way he protected me…
I’ll heal him just the way he healed me…
But for me to achieve that…
I must be truthful…
I must tell him about my affair with Stanley…
But not now!!!
After I’ve helped them reconcile with each other.. I can’t risk causing another
battle..
Stanley and Ted are both hot tempered…
Even though Ted have anger issue.. Stanley is much stronger than him…
I’ll tell him the truth after I’ve settle their differences…
I have to do my best to avoid rifting them further apart…
THE NEXT DAY
I haven’t visited the hospital since I left there.. After showing Ted the surprise gifts I had for him..
I felt pretty exhausted and decided to take a nap while he left for the hospital… When I woke up, I went to supervise my boys as they discreetly move some of the gold late in the night…
Ted and I assisted for a while before we all retired to bed…
I literally slept till almost 10am in the morning..
Only to wake up with an empty mansion to myself…
Ted left a note on my bedstand saying that he’ll be heading to the hospital..
While mom also left a note that she won’t be home till late in the night…
I laid back onto my bed and dozed off for a While..
When I finally couldn’t bare the grumbling sounds from my stomach I got off my bed..
I called veromeel using the landline to tell her to heat my food..
Brushed my teeth and bath before heading downstairs…
“Daniel!!!”I exclaimed happily…
“Sister”he half yelled and rushed to embrace me happily…
“You’ve grown up… You’ve become taller than me now… What’s the secret????”I teased him and he chuckled…
“Aunt Rocky has been feeding me well… You look beautiful by the way”Daniel replied and I smiled..
“I totally forgot you guys were moving in yesterday… Where have you been all this while I arrived here you couldn’t visit me not even once Danny”I inquired as I walked to the dinning table.. I met veromeel serving my food.. “Thanks you can go”I dismissed her before taking my seat…
“I was out of town..”Danny replied
“Take a sit and tell me what you went to do??”
“I went out in search for job in a near by mining factory”Danny spoke up.. “Lucky you… I have a job for you”
“Sister!!! You’ve helped me alot.. But I don’t wanna sound like a d**k but I don’t want a job through connection.. I want to use my qualifications to earn my position”
“Wise words brother but I only said I have a job for you.. I didn’t say you’ve gat the job…
You’ll submit your credentials.. you’ll pass through all the interview necessary”I suggested chewing my food slowly..
“I don’t know anything about business…” “There’s no vacancies in any of my companies..
I’m building a mine in a week time.. I need experts to work for me.. if you qualify then you’ll be employed..
The notice will be out by next week..
The screening procedure will be written.. I want you to apply in my mine.. I need your help Danny”
“I’m grateful sister”Danny rushed to embrace me from my side and I chuckled… “How can I repay you for everything???”Danny asked and I scoffed
“Just qualify for the job and always make your mom ( Shela ) proud..”I requested “I’ll.. We are very lucky to have you sister..”
“I’m lucky to have you as my brother.. Though born of another parent I’ve always
considered you as my younger brother.. We will always be one big family..
What belongs to me belongs to you..”
“Thank you..”
“Where’s Sarah????”I asked
“She’s off to school… She’s rounding up her final semester exams soon” “That’s great.. she’s into business right???”I asked “Yes…”he replied
“That’s great… At least we have a business woman in the family..” “She takes after aunt Rocky.. the business vibe!!!!”Danny chuckled.. “Yeah”I replied drinking water…
“Ahhhhh!!!! I was starving but now i feel good”I exclaimed…
“You woke up late”Danny pointed out.
“I stayed up late to supervise the movement of my gold” “Rough night you had. I’ll assist you next time”Danny suggested “Duely noted”I replied..
“I’m off to the new site.. Construction will soon begin for the mine, mall and hospital… But I want the hospital to be between us… It’s my surprise for Rocky” “My lips are sealed… Let’s go”he urshed me like a gentleman…
“Who is the lucky girl that captured your heart???” I asked And he gasped staring at me in awe…
“Ho… Hooow did you know????”he inquired
“The way you pulled out the chair and urshered me out like a true gentleman on a date and I just guessed”I said sincerely
“Joana… We studied at the same institute different faulty but she’s way over my league”
“Why do you think so???”
“She’s the governor’s daughter”
“Interesting… Finn’s stepsister”I acknowledge “You know Finn Thomas…????” “Yes… He’s my boyfriend”I replied
“He has a legacy of one night stand with ladies… Why do you choose him of all people… He’s a jerk”
“I know… I’m using him to get to his father” “That’s a risky game.. Finn is very dangerous” “I know.. We met in such kind of situations” “Hmmmm.. I’m lost”Danny murmured..
And I explained everything to him and also my deal with Finn during our date… “You trust easily… But I don’t trust him at all..”
“I don’t trust him either.. I recorded our entire conversation.. i have a dinner date with Finn and his family today.. I’ll set a date with you and Joanna after I’m convinced that she’s not a spoilt brat..”
“Oohhh!!! She’s a spoilt brat but in the good way not like your cousin sisters..”Danny defended and I chuckled… “I hope so…”I muttered to myself…
After supervising the land structures and equipments that we’re supplied today…
Daniel and I went to pay Stanley a visit in the hospital..
Luckily for me, only his mom and Ted were with him..
I urged Ted to go home with his mom to freshen up while I promised to wait for
them to get back…
Though I wanted to spend some alone time with Stanley…
Immediately they left, Stanley pulled me down to him and kissed me roughly…
His strength still amaze me for a man with fractured arm to move so quickly is a
turn on..
Everything fades away, the only thing I can think of is how sensational his kisses
were.. I let him dominate me and folloo every pace he ignites…
When we pull away for breaths I heard low sounds of someone giggling..
That’s when I remembered that Danny just witnessed one of my wildest kisses I’ve
ever had..
My cheeks slowly turns red at his expression…
“Emmm… Stan meet my brother Daniel… And Danny meet Stanley Ted’s older
brother”I spoke up avoiding their gaze…
Mehn… This is awkward
They both shake hands and they exchanged pleasantries
“I thought you were the only child.. lisy!!!”Stanley pointed out without a question
gaze.. Flittering from me to Danny….
“And I thought You weren’t supposed to be lip-grinding with your best friends
brother???”Danny fired at me..
“One question at a time guys..”I waved my hands up in the air and sat down
opposite Stan..
“I’m the only child.. Danny is my Nanny’s elder son.. Though we are not blood
related we have always considered each other as siblings..”I explained to Stan..
before meeting Daniel’s conflicted gaze…
“It’s just a kiss.. Danny.. His also my very good friend”I lied blankly…
It wasn’t just a kiss…
“I don’t buy that ballant lie.. Sister I’m not a kid anymore… You guys were undressing each other with your eyes.. And if it was just a kiss like you referred to it why hesitate to do it in the presence of Ted and his mom…”
“Danny… It’s because Ted might end up punching helpless Stanley in his sick bed… You know how overprotective Ted is towards me…”I tried to convince him but he looked adamant…
“I’m 20 Sister… I’m not a kid neither I’m a blind.. I’ll excuse you guys”Danny said
and stormed out of the room…
Hmmmm…
“He’ll cool down soon”Stanley muttered..
“I’m glad you came by”he whispered
“I’m glad I did…”
“I waited for you yesterday.. I watched the recap of your case”he caressed my face “You did??? How???”I asked
“Rassia requested me to watch with her on her iPhone… Congratulations..” “Thank you… I’m sorry but I can’t stay long because I have dinner date with Finn and his family today”
“Hmmmm…”he hummed staring away from my face…
We sat in silence for a while before he clears his throat and spoke up
“So you guys are official now..???”as if he doesn’t know the answer to that question
“Yeah…”I replied…
“It’s for the best…”I added wishing I swallowed back my words.
“Hmmmm… Soon I’ll find my other half…”he said staring deep into my eyes….
“She’s very s£xy.. I have an image of how she’ll look like in my mind”he added licking his lips
‘You better not be thinking of anyone apart from me Stan…’ I spoke to myself…
Holding Stern gaze with him..
“It’s for the best”he added and I fight back the urge to claim his lips now by flashing him a fake smile…
This thing between us is not over Stan…
It’s certainly just the beginning
“This fling between us is over..”he muttered with a cold and heartless expression and I gasped out loud..
Immediately the door swinged open as Ted walked inside with a smile…
“Thanks for waiting for me to return Lily”Ted spoke up and I stood up from the sit and hugged him…
I need someone to comfort me…
I need someone to advise me..
But for the first time in a long time, I feel vulnerable…
I’m heartbroken…
I broke my heart over and over again…
I wish I can talk to you Ted but I can’t see you devastated…
I rather hide in my closet with all these demons after me….
“Lily… What’s wrong??”Ted asked pulling me away from the embrace…
“Hospital smell stinks..”I lied…
“It sure does… But you were sniffing me.. it’s very unlike you”
“I love your scent…”
“You sure does… Anyway you may go home now… You have to get ready for your
dinner date… But don’t stay up too late okay”Ted cautioned…
“What’s the curfew time Teddy bear???”I asked avoiding Stanley’s gaze..
“Fuck you Lily.. Just call me and I’ll be there to rescue you anytime”Ted pecked
me and I nod…
I turn on my heels to walk out but halted as i saw Danny standing at the entrance
waiting for me..
He wrapped his hands around me as we walk away…
I couldn’t pretend anymore as we entered inside my car and I burst out laughing…
Instead of crying..
I’m laughing very hard as tears falls down my eyes…
I’m at the verge of choking and my throat feels sore but I did not stop….
I laughed and cried as Danny wrapped his hands tightly around me…
It took every ounce in me to calm down…
I can’t believe I broke down in front of my younger brother…
“I understand everything Eliska… You don’t have to beat yourself from Breaking
down in front of me…
I earsdropped on you …
And I know you like him…
I remembered correctly that he has been your only crush..
He likes you alot..
He’s a jerk for breaking your heart but I believe it’s for the best…
Crushes aren’t made to last forever…
But if it’s more than crush… Then your love will bring him back…
But only if you guys are destined to be together”
“Thank you…”I muttered
“I’m always here if you need someone to talk to… I’ll keep your secrets safe.. And treasure them with all honesty…”
“I’ll keep that in mind…”I replied and I starts the engine and drove off…
I’m doing a final touch on my make up..
As I stare at myself in the mirror…
I see a total beautiful stranger staring back at me with a charming smile….
I grabbed my purse and I head downstairs taking the lift…
“Oh my Gosh!!!!”Sarah exclaimed as she rushed and engulfed me in a tight
embrace…
“Sarah… Glad to see you..”I exclaimed happily…
“I was on my way to your room”she said excitedly…
She was about to say something when I heard the sound of gate opening and loud
horning of car and screeching tire sounds
“Oops!!! We’ll catch up later… I have a dinner date to attend…”
“Hello princess!!!”Finn spoke up as my guards opened the door for him…
“Ooohhh my gosh.. Finn Thomas is your date???”Sarah shouted and I stare at her
in awe..
“Ooohhh sorry!!! I’m a huge fan of your ambs.. You look too good to be
true”Sarah explained happily…
“That’s my sister Sarah”I introduced to Finn…
“I thought you were the only child???”he questioned narrowing his gaze at me…
“Yeah!!! She is… I’m her Nanny’s daughter.. pleasure to meet you”she stretched out
her hands for a handshake fully composed…
“Pleasure is all mine”Finn replied shaking hands with her..
“I’ll have to steal your sister away for a while..”
“Go ahead… Remember she’s the heart of this house… Handle her with all the love
and support she deserves”Sarah replied and I giggled at her comments as we
walked away…
“You’re extremely beautiful tonight”Finn complimented as he opened the car for
me like a gentleman and I blushed…
If Sarah was swooning over Finn what will she do when she sees Stanley????
I can’t comprehend her expression…
Hmmmm…
I shouldn’t be thinking of Stanley when he’s not worth it…
Finn tips me a little about his family..
After I told him about my siblings Daniel and Sarah and little information on my
favorite cousins Ema and Santiago…
As the limbo came to halt he opened the door for me as I stepped down
majestically…
I’m prepared for another thrilling family drama if his mother truly shows up…
I’m quite impressed my their mansion..
It’s better than I remembered…
We walked side by side as his guards opened the door for us…
I let out a deep breath as I step inside his house…
“Good evening young sire”a maid greeted walking towards us..
“Good evening Miss”she greeted me and I nod my head…
“Hope we are not too late???”I asked Finn
“I love late entry..”Finn replied me
“Lead the way”Finn ordered the maid as she led us towards a beautiful garden…
“My son has arrived”a beautiful woman spoke up and Finn murmured several
cursed words…
He wrapped his hands around my waist totally ignoring her as he walked to the
other older woman…
Whom I believe was his step mother Venessa…
“Lovely evening Venice”Finn pecked her holding me securely with his other
hand…
“She’s beautiful in person”she whispered..
I hummed back at them as they all greeted me…
Selena hugged me..
She seems pleased to see me…
His father concentrated on his meal…
Eating quietly as I sat beside Finn…
Directly opposite Joana who smiled at me…
“Finn… You couldn’t say Halo to me… You better don’t pretend not to notice
me”His mother complained
“Karolina Don’t spoil my mood”his father spoke up with a warning glare..
“I don’t care Thomas… I’m talking to my son”Karolina barked…
“Must you act like a desperate bitch”A familiar voice shouted…
For a minute I thought it was Finn but he looked calmed and relaxed…
I tilt my head sideways as I stare into those hot flaming gaze…
He must be Rayan…
For the record they look like twins..
Their voice are both alike..
I can’t blame his ex for sleeping with his step brother..
“Language young man”Thomas bellowed..
“He’s a spoilt brat like his whore of a mother”Karolina spat angrily and Finn roared
besides me…
“Her name is Vennessa.. Karolina Don’t ever refer to her as a whore”Finn warned
his mother angrily…
I sat quietly eating my food.. Watching patiently as the Robbinson’s family drama
unfold before me..
“I can’t believe you my son will be rude to your own mother over a slut”Karolina
spoke up in an angry tune…
And Finn slammed his hands on the table…
“Venessa is her name mom… Don’t make me remind you again”He bellowed…
“How dare you????”Karolina shouted..
“Karolina sit down”Thomas bellowed..
“I can’t believe you’re embarrassing mom in the presence of your fling”fred**k
spoke up..
Finn smashed his fist to his brother’s chin…
His mother rushed to fred**k’s aid…
Fred**k rushed towards Finn who doesn’t notice because his father was blocking
his view calming him down while I blocked Fred**k from hitting Finn…
I gave him a thunderous slap causing him to stumble on his feet…
“What the f**k!!!”I heard Rayan exclaimed…
“How dare you touch my son!!!!”Karolina shouted raising her hands to hit me but
Rayan grabbed her hand…
“I’ve had enough for today”Thomas yelled…
“You should never have invited mom here… She has a legacy of ruining family
dinner”Finn shouted…
“I never did”his father replied…
“I don’t need an invitation to my own family’s dinner”Karolina shouted…
“This is not over bitch… You don’t hit me and go free”Fred**k charged at me..
“If you dare lay a finger on me.. I’ll send you paralyzed to a befitting hospital bed”I
challenged him..
“With all due respect”I faced Thomas…
“I won’t be treated like a nobody and be insulted by your family…”
“I’m sorry you had to witnessed my wife’s tantrums.. She’s nut..”Thomas said…
“Why would you appologies to this thing.. Who probably have no status”Karolina
barked..
“Karolina… You’re speaking to the one and only Eliska El Toro.. She’s not a
thing”Rayan introduced me and Karolina gasped
I’m quite surprised Rayan knows my true identity…
“And she’s an attorney mom… When will you ever get over your hatred towards
people of no status???.”Selena spoke up….
And karolina stumbled backwards
“I can sue you for defamation and assult.. How would you like to pay a visit to
famous dirty prison…”I asked her with a sly smile…
And she gasped out loud looking terrified and pissed off…
She deserves it…
They all do!!!!
I’ll use Thomas Robbinson’s weaknesses against him…
His family!!!!
After I’m through wrecking havoc upon him and anyone who tries to stop me…
This household will never remain the same..
Tbc…
