Destined to be yours… - Chapter 41

Back to work…

Back to school…

“Well, well, well, how’s the honeymoon?” Amelia said teasing Aly and the latter just rolled her eyes. “Here!” Aly said giving Amelia the bag of souvenirs and goodies from Sun and Moon Beach Resort. “Thanks!” Amelia said receiving the bag.

“By the way, your secret admirer is still delivering your delicious desserts. I didn’t inform you because I might interrupt something.” Amelia said still teasing Aly. “Have you ask the courier where it came from?” Aly asked. “He always answered that he didn’t know.” Amelia said. “What time is he coming?” Aly asked. “At around eight or nine in the morning.” Amelia said. “Ok, I’ll be here tomorrow at eight. I will be the one to ask him.” Aly said.

“Welcome back, Boss!” Brett’s staff spoke at once. Brett only nodded and gave Jefferey the goodies from their vacation. Brett didn’t want to bring it but Aly insisted. Jefferey furrowed his brow because it’s the first time their boss bought them gifts. “It’s not from me. It’s from my wife.” Brett said seeing Jefferey curious face. “Give our regards to lady boss, Boss!” Jefferey said and shared the goodies to his co-staffs. Brett proceeded to his office.

“Where’s mine?” Dave said. He was busy looking at one car of his client when Brett arrived. He only knew that Brett was already there when Jefferey was distributing the goodies in his hands.

Brett creased his forehead. “Where’s my souvenir?” Dave asked. “I forgot.” Brett said and continued looking at the documents on his table. “What?” Dave said. Brett smiled. “Come with me later at the laundry. Aly said she will cook the fish we bought and let you taste it.” Brett said. “Really, Aly is really thoughtful.” Dave said grinning. Brett shaked his head.

“What is that?” Amelia saw the ring on Aly’s hands. Aly giggled. “Our wedding ring.” Aly said. “What? You’re married? You didn’t invite us on your wedding day?” Amelia was screaming. Aly laughed. Amelia crossed her arms and pouted her lips. “There’s a story behind this ring.” Aly said that made Amelia looked at her with curiosity. Aly told Amelia about the mock wedding that had happened on their vacation.

“That’s really cute. Your kids are really adorable.” Amelia said after hearing the whole story. “Yeah, both of us didn’t expected it. It was a memorable event.” Aly said. “Did Brett already propose to you?” Amelia asked. “Not yet.” Aly said. “He’s so slow!” Amelia said. “That’s fine, we’re enjoying our time. Besides, it’s too early for that.” Aly said. Amelia kept quiet as if thinking of something. Aly noticed it and became curious.

“What is it?” Aly asked. “I’m not telling you this to scare you but I want you to be aware and be cautious.” Amelia said seriously. Aly felt a little disturbed of what Amelia had said. “The guards notified us that there was a van and a motorcycle encircling around the village. They’ll stop infront of your house and infront of the shop. At first, they thought it was only coincidences but as days passed by, they saw them everyday at the cctv. They tried to ask them but whenever the guards will approach them they will immediately go and they will not stop on the entrance.” Amelia said that made Aly felt goosebumps all over her body. “When did it started?” Aly asked. “From the start you took your vacation.” Amelia said. “Don’t worry, the guards are on the lookout and Jackson also.” Amelia said. “Do you want to notify the police?” Amelia continued. “We don’t have any proof that they’re having a bad intent towards us.” Aly said. “Don’t mention it to Brett, he might do something out of his hand if he will know.” Aly said but Amelia wasn’t able to answer because Brett was already at the door.

“Why will you not tell me that important matter?” Brett said seriously. “You’re already here?” Aly said, though surprised, still wore a guilty smile. “Don’t change the subject.” Brett said still wearing a frown. Aly sighed. “Tell me everything.” Brett said looking at Amelia that made looked at Aly. Aly nodded and Amelia told everything, from the desserts up to the men.

Dave was left downstairs busy teasing the female staffs of the laundry when he heard the voice of Brett calling him. “Wait, I’ll come back later.” Dave said winking and the staffs giggled.

“Yes? I heard my gorgeous name.” Dave said smiling but when he saw the three people infront of him, he became serious. “Elijah is still in the police force, right?” Brett said seriously. “Yeah, why?” Dave asked curiously. “And Luke is still an agent?” Brett continued. “Yeah, is there a problem?” Dave said with his forehead creased seeing Brett is somewhat a little angry. “Tell them to meet us tonight at the same place.” Brett said. “Ok.” The only word Dave said because he felt something is amiss.

Because it was almost lunch, Aly didn’t have time to cook so they just ordered food. During lunch, silence engulfed the shop. No one dares to crack joke even Dave because of Brett’s seriousness.

The silence was broke by Brett. “Everyone, please lookout for my wife. I have a gut feeling that she’s the target of those men. Please be cautious at all time. I will not be around here everyday so please notify me immediately if something is off.” Brett said seriously but Dave smiled. The staffs felt fear but at the same time, also felt romantic excitement. “Yes, Sir Brett!” All spoke at once as if they were in a military meeting. Dave laughed and the ambiance felt a little calmer.

After their lunch, Dave bid his goodbye to return to the office and contact their friends. Amelia and the staffs continue their works. Aly pulled Brett at her office. She knew that he’s angry and they need to talk.

“Hey.” Aly said stroking Brett’s lap. They were seated on the couch side by side. “Don’t be angry. I knew that you’ll be like this when you will hear about it.” Aly said. “Besides, we’re still not sure if they are really bad guys.” Aly continued. “So you want to say that we’ll wait until they do bad unto you?” Brett said still with angry voice. “It’s not that.” Aly said. “And what about your secret admirer? You really don’t have the plan to tell it to me?” Brett said that made Aly kept quiet. She just embraced Brett and burried her face on his neck. That move made Brett’s anger subsided.

“I’m worried, I’m afraid. I know I’m over reacting but it’s better to be in advance mode than to be sorry at the end.” Brett said stroking Aly’s back. Aly looked up and smiled. “Let’s go fetch the kids then go your house to get your things. You’ll be staying at my house.” Brett said. “But…” Aly said but was interrupted by Brett. “No buts, Mrs. Navarro. You have done wrong and still not forgiven.” Brett said faking his anger. Aly just sighed.

“Miss, she’s already home. What are we going to do?” One of the men asked. “Just wait for my order. Stop roaming around. They will be alarmed once they will see you again. I’ll contact you when everything’s ready.” The girl said wearing a wicked smile and dispatches the men infront of her.

“Payback time, Aly.” The girl said smiling evilly.
