The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 128

~Hillsraine Grove~

Two days later.

One sunny afternoon.

Allan looked at his pregnant wife sitting on the chair facing the dresser table. “I’ll wait downstairs in the living room,” he said.

“Yes, darling,” Leera said, as she continue brushing her hair in front of the mirror.

Allan exited the bedroom, walked in the hallways, and descended the stairs, he settled comfortably on the sofa and picked up a magazine on the center table. He stared at the mesmerizing photo of the woman on the front cover, her white hair was blown by the wind.

The beautiful model was in a relaxed pose, facing the camera, behind her was the greenish-blue ocean and palm trees looming nearby. It was the woman’s eyes that caught his attention, staring at his soul.

The woman on the magazine cover looks familiar to him but he can’t remember where he had seen her before.

He continue gazing at the woman’s face, then he felt a stirring in his heart. His fingers automatically moved on their own – caressing the woman’s face.

He was so engrossed looking at the model’s face that he didn’t see his wife coming down the stairs.

Allan was in that starstruck position when his wife went to his side.

Leera noticed that her husband was holding a magazine, staring intensely at the model’s face. “Darling, what are looking at?” she inquired and reached for the magazine.

Allan looked at his wife and shook his head. “Nothing…” he said.

Leera looked at the model and stared at her face for a few minutes, curious what caught her husband’s eye.

Wait a minute! Why does this woman on the cover page look familiar to her? It’s the eyes that caught her attention. She had seen that smoldering eyes before, it was so expressive that it’s unique in the world.

After a few minutes of staring…

Damn!

She finally remember where did she saw those eyes and who owns them! The shape of the face was the same, the only difference is the color of the hair. But models are known for wearing different types of wigs during photoshoots all the time!

It’s Sabrina’s eyes! She had seen the girl several times outside the cave in her invisible form.

She can’t be mistaken!

Who brought the magazine to her mansion? Ah, the girls love to buy fashion magazines every time they went to the town to buy personal stuff. They must be the ones who brought the magazine, no one else!

She released a sigh of alarm. “Darling, why are you looking at the woman’s face? Why-? Do you find her beautiful?” she asked, her eyes flashing with jealousy.

“Yeah, the woman is beautiful even if her hair is white…” Allan answered truthfully.

“And-?” Leera asked, greeting her teeth in anger.

“The more I stare at her face, the more I realized that she looks familiar to me as if I have known her for a long time. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t remember where I saw her…” Allan said, scratching his head in bewilderment, his brows knitted together in confusion.

Oh no!

Leera quickly rose to her feet and looked at her husband. “Darling, I’ll go back to our room to take a pee, wait for me here,” she said.

“Okay,” Allan replied and picked up another magazine from the center table, and focused his attention on it.

Leera climbed back the stairs, holding the magazine with her trembling hand.

She reached the top of the stairs, walked into the hallway, and entered her room.

The moment she was already inside the room, she threw the magazine into the floor, her eyes blazing with fury. No! This can’t be! Why did the lights fail to find Sabrina?

She began pacing back and forth on the floor, feeling bothered about Sabrina.

She summoned the lights in her mind. She needs the help of the lights to find Sabrina, asap!

A few minutes later, the five lights materialized in the room, floating in the air.

“What is it, Priestess?” the leader of the lights asked.

“I told you to find Sabrina for me but until now you failed to bring her to me!” Leera yelled indignantly at the lights.

“I’m sorry, Priestess, we can’t find her!” the leader replied.

“Useless!” Leera scolded them angrily. She picked up the magazine on the floor and showed them to the lights. “Find this woman in the capital and bring her to me the soonest possible time!” she ordered.

“Aye, Priestess!” the leader of the lights said.

“Go now!” Leera shouted in an infuriated tone.

The lights vanished from the room instantly.

Furious, Leera began tearing the magazine into pieces, then dropped the trash in the garbage bin located in the corner.

She was enjoying her happy life beside Rhett, she has almost forgotten about Sabrina, not realizing that she can return anytime to take away her husband!

Damn!

She was so careless!

She went to bed and lie down. She was supposed to tour around the property together with her husband to check the ongoing construction of the houses.

Now, she is no longer in the mood to go outside after seeing Sabrina on the cover of the fashion magazine! Her good mood had evaporated in thin air!

She changed her mind! She will get rid of Sabrina once and for all! She will kill her with her own hands! She can’t allow her to make a comeback and steal her husband away from her!

Rhett only belongs to her!

She caressed her tummy. “Baby, we won’t allow that woman see your father again, okay?” she said, her eyes flashed with murderous intent.

A few minutes later.

The door opened and Allan entered. He looked at his wife lying on the bed. “Darling, why are you lying on the bed? You don’t want to check the construction?” he asked.

Leera shook her head. “Just do it for me, darling. I’m feeling sleepy all of a sudden, I’ll just lie here on the bed for a while,” she replied.

“Okay, I’ll go now,” Allan said and exited the room.

Leera stared at the window, wondering where part of the capital Amara hides Sabrina before she passed away.

The lights should find Sabrina as soon as possible!

She was feeling bothered and restless. The fact that Sabrina’s face was back to its beautiful state, only means one thing, the curse on her face was gone!

She took a deep breath. Her mind was panicking.

After a while, she smiled a bit. There’s nothing to worry about Sabrina, after all, she’s just a mere girl. She has no power, therefore she can’t fight her. Even if she will return, Rhett won’t remember her because she already erased his memory.

She laughed aloud, finding herself silly and stupid for thinking of nonsense things!

Why did she worry a lot when there’s nothing to worry about?

Silly her!

There is no reason to feel afraid of Sabrina and become a worry rat.

She got up from the bed and exited the room. She will join her husband outside.

~Portwell Mansion~

That night…

Done eating dinner with her aunt and Lady Helen, Amber retired to her room early while the two women continue the conversation in the living room because Lady Helen will go back to the capital tomorrow morning for some business engagement.

Amber went to the window and stared at the starry sky above, it’s just the stars in their splendor. The moon was not present on the horizon tonight.

She was wondering where is her friend Ivy the bird? She was waiting for her arrival so that she will know what is her surprise for her. She’s eager to know about it.

She waited for Ivy for more than an hour until she gets tired and returned to the bed but leave the window open just in case Ivy will come to visit her today.

She lay her body on the bed and grasped the medallion on her neck, she can see and feel it now every day on her neck but others can’t see it, only her.

Tomorrow, after Lady Helen left for the capital, she will ask her aunt about the medallion, maybe she knows about it – how it comes to her neck.

Hmm, how about if she will summon the guardian of the medallion right now? Would it appear in the room and show himself to her?

She will try it!

She grabbed the medallion with both hands and said, “Guardian, can you please show yourself to me now? I want to ask you some questions,” she requested.

Two minutes passed.

Five minutes passed.

Fifteen minutes passed, nothing happens!

A half-hour later, Amber was already yawning, the guardian of the medallion didn’t show himself to her.

She released a deep sigh, hugely disappointed.

Will the guardian appear only if she is in danger?

Could be!

Hmm, how about if she will jump into the window? Maybe the guardian will catch her?

Possible!

She left the bed and went to the window and looked down below. Hmm, what if she jump down and the guardian was sleeping? She will have broken ribs for sure!

Her aunt will be furious if she will find out that she jumps just to bring the guardian out of the medallion. That would be an absurd reason for jumping through the window, it’s like a childish idea. She went against it at the last minute, because there’s no guarantee that the guardian will save her on time.

Never mind.

She will just wait for the perfect time when the guardian will show himself to her again.

Sighing, she closed the window, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
