I will Love You Forever - Chapter 148

Ayla blinked twice. She closed her arms around her chest and thought for a while. There had to be something that Elizabeth did to keep Kel in place. Ayla was serious about the issue because Kel was a friend and Kara’s sister. She would do anything to keep her safe.

Finally, she got a clue and asked Kara an important detail. “Was she like this even when you came to live with them?” she asked and Kara shook her head.

“She was not dangerous but weak. I believe they needed my presence because of her detachment for om the world.” Kara explained.

Kel was very dangerous at a tender age and Elizabeth and Johnathan were worried that the committee would take her away that was why they bound her temporarily making her powerless.

“Have you asked Johnathan about it?” Ayla asked. She knew for a fact that as long as Kel was not behaving this dangerous when Kara went to the mansion it can only mean that Johnathan would know.

Kara shook her head in denial. “He wouldn’t tell me even if I ask. But one of the oldest maids in the house told me about their past experience with Kel.”

Ayla paid attention to what Kara was saying to try to figure out a way to make this clearer. “She told me that Kel wasn’t always weak in fact, she was too dangerous to be let out of the house. But all of a sudden, she changed. This sudden change of hers was too drastic that everyone questioned if she was truly the same person or a clone.” Kara narrated.

Ayla squinted her eyes. She was still new to all these happenings and there was only one person she could ask about these happenings.

“When does he plan to leave?” Ayla asked and Kara’s shoulders dropped.

“Tonight.” she knew that Johnathan would not want to stay another day before leaving and that was why she needed a solution urgently.

She checked the time on her wristwatch and sighed. “I should be leaving now. If you come up with an idea, let me know.”

Ayla nodded with a serious expression and they both went their separate ways.

As soon as she got to the office, Ayla rushed up to Zee. “Did she look for me?” Ayla asked and Zee looked at her indifferently.

Here, sign. she passed a document to Ayla causing Ayla’s brow to furrow in confusion. She took the document and asked confused. “What is this?”

Zee raised a brow and looked at her sternly confusing Ayla even more. “Your resignation letter.”

Ayla blinked twice then snared at Zee for making such jokes. If this were to be a resignation letter, it wouldn’t be this long besides, she knew how to read and this was far from what Zee said.

On the title spot, it read, ‘Saturday contract.’ Ayla shook her head seeing what Zee had planned.

“If you don’t sign it, I can just tell Lisa that you didn’t have a family emergency rather you went to visit a man.” she winked when she said this and Ayla couldn’t help but glare at her.

Ayla was surprised at how childish Zee was to even go to the length of typing a contract. ‘It seems she has a lot of time on her plate.’ Ayla snorted. She wasn’t sure what Zee told Lisa but she knew that she wasn’t making empty threats.

She took a pen and signed on the contract sealing the deal and gave it back to Zee whose expression immediately changed to a smiley face.

“These steps are necessary.” she smiled at Ayla who wasn’t in the mood.

“What did you say to Lisa?” Ayla asked to know what she would say when she confronts Lisa.

Zee shrugged, “Nothing much, I just told her your brother was rushed to the hospital after a serious accident.”

Ayla could not believe her ears. Why did she have to go that far? First off, she had no brother and second, no accident happened.

Zee raised a brow and started laughing after seeing Ayla’s expression. “I’m just kidding. She didn’t even notice your absence. The company is having some issues so she has been out for a long time.”

Ayla glared at her and walked away while Zee yelled after her, “You’re welcome!”

As soon as Ayla got to her desk, she began to pack her things. It was already time to go home and all she came to do was sign out. She also carried some documents that needed her attention before heading out.

After signing out, then took a taxi home anxiously waiting to see someone who could help fix this mess.

She got home almost immediately but didn’t find him there. She hurriedly dropped her belongings in the room and came downstairs.

Just as she was descending the stairs, she saw him walk in. Gerard was holding a suitable and was wearing a black tuxedo.

She hurried down and meet up with him. Gerard noticed her running and his brow furrowed. Although he didn’t want her to run like that, he was happy to see her running to meet him.

‘Did she miss me that much?’ he wondered.

As soon as Ayla got to where he stood, she pulled him upstairs. She had something very important to say to him and she was worried that she would be too late.

Gerard was surprised to see her acting this way. She was even dragging him upstairs. Could it be what he was thinking?

The smile on Gerard’s face widened even more. This was the first time Ayla was making the first move and he was really looking forward to the time of his life with her tonight.

As soon as they got into the room, Ayla locked the door and closed the windows. This only made Gerard even more ready for what he thought was about to follow.

He sat on the bed with a killer smile on his face. Sadly, Ayla did not notice any of this. She had a different thing in mind but he was thinking in another direction.

“You don’t have to rush. We have the whole night to ourselves.” she calmed her down seeing how fast she wanted to close every nook and cranny.

Ayla turned to him and raised a brow. She thought for a while but couldn’t bring herself to remain calm. She hurried and sat facing him.

Gerard wondered why she was sitting so far away but shrugged thinking that she was shy because this was her first time initiating it.

He smiled and moved closer. “Wife, you don’t have to sit so far away.”

Ayla blinked twice the shook her head ignoring what she thought he was up to. “I need your help.” she started and Gerard smiled.

‘She probably needs my help with the beginning then she would carry on from there.’ he smiled and stood up.

He moved closer to her and whispered. “You have to tell me what you need me to do first.” he wasn’t willing to just do it because she asked. Rather, he wanted to do as she commanded. He wanted her to tell him exactly what she wanted.

Ayla furrowed her brow. She didn’t know why that sounded strange. It was as though meant something else but she shook her head feeling that she was the one who was having a bad mind.

“It’s about Elizabeth’s daughter.” she got uncomfortable sitting and stood up because of how restless she was.

Gerard’s brow furrowed when he realized that he had the wrong idea. He wanted to kill whoever that Elizabeth was.

He leaned back with his arms supporting his weight on the bed and listened to what Ayla was saying.

Ayla narrated the whole thing restlessly and he soon got interested when he heard the story. If this was the daughter of the basilisk she had an encounter with then that means there was a problem.

Gerard’s gaze darkened. The daughter of a basilisk would be equally as dangerous as the mother but what’s worse was the fact that the father was also a demon. That meant that she was no ordinary basilisk but could be something worse.

“Where did you say she is now?” he asked on his feet.

Ayla blinked twice. He seemed to be more worried about the case than she was and that only meant that Kel’s case was more serious than she had thought.

“In Johnathan’s residence.” she slowly spoke and Gerard’s gaze turned two shades darker. Certainly, she wouldn’t be there now because it was already dark and if she was who he thought she was then that only means that she would attack her first prey today.

“Did anyone help her today? Someone she felt an attachment towards?” he asked trying to maintain his emotions.

Ayla thought for a while and shook her head. There was no one that she knew off. Kel was not the type that maintained a relationship for too long and asides for Kara, Ayla didn’t know who else Kel felt an attachment towards.

Gerard sighed in frustration but just then, Ayla’s eyes widened to the realization of something. “I know…”

Gerard’s looked at her anxiously and Ayla finally said a name.. “Derick.”
