THE LONG LOST LOVE - Chapter 67

Aurora was also silent for a moment. She suddenly remembers the day she caught Yin Li with that bitch on his house back at Southern City.

But in her case, Yin Li was totally half nȧkėd while the girl was also topless, she even on top of him. Just the flashback from her old memory makes her heart start to bleed again.

Her eyes start to form tears. Her face also suddenly turn to a bit red. She can’t control her feeling anymore.

“I’m sorry.” she immediately runs to the sink and washes her face.

Athena and Ralph turn to look at her.

“Hey Aur, you okay?” Athena asks concerned.

Sniffles a bit, she nod. “Yeah..sorry, I was a bit emotional.”

She wipes her face with a face towel and turns to look at them both. She tried to put on the smiles on her face.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Mhm..”

“Oh yeah..regarding that bitch Jye Yin..” She tries to divert her mind to Athena’s matter.

“There is a time when she comes to our house, she saw me grabbing my ex-husband’s shirt at the pond behind our mansion. And like always he always shows me his scared face and sometimes he looks stoic with no expression at all..”

“Wait, you bullied your ex?” Ralph was a bit shocked.

“Don’t be so surprised Ralph, she always threatens him and bullied him since they were young,” Athena said making Ralph gasp a bit.

“I don’t bully him. I just want to make him stay by my side.”

Ralph shook his head in disbelief. “Oh god, Rora..no wonder he left you.”

Aurora throws the pillow to Ralph. She shot him a death glare.

“What? I’m telling you the truth.”

“Alright, back to the main discussion please.” Athena tries to calm them both.

“Then after that, she gives me some advice saying that my ex likes someone who is just like you, Athena. Soft, girly, and always wearing something nice. You were an idol to many of men in our circle, did you know that?”

Athena frowned. “So, you hated me because I was a center to those guy’s liking?”

Aurora’s chuckles. “Of course not. You’re my sister. How could I hate you?”

“Is that so? Why did I never know about you, Athena? I mean, I heard about Lee’s princess. But never know that they had a real princess type.” Ralph asking curiously.

“That because you’re busy with planting and go in and out at the forest.” Aurora still not satisfied with him.

“Oh? That may be true.”

“Urgh..don’t cut my story, Ralph.”

Ralph put both of his hand in the air. Making a surrender gesture.

“So Athena, I start to dress up like you when I want to meet with him. And I think I saw Aslan that time at the maze garden. I thought he might recognize me. So I don’t talk to him, I went to my ex and bring him to the center of the maze. We kinda had a date that time. But, he also thought that I was you. He looks quite happy. So I just keep silent about my real identity. I observed his gaze, his face, and everything. That is when I know my ex also had a feeling for you.”

“Aur..”

“Shhh… I still not finish yet.” Aurora shushes her and continues again.

“So, I keep dressing like you and even cover my mole so that I will perfectly look like you and date my ex. I don’t know why, but every time I bump with Aslan, he will make a hurt expression on his face. I don’t know what he thought at that time, because I don’t know what happens between you two. And every time after I saw him, there is always Jye Yin nearby us, trying to cheer him up. Because I thought that they two were really dating, I couldn’t care less about him.”

She stops for a moment.

“And I blow my cover when my ex suddenly caught me trying to impersonate as you. We had a quite fight back there..” she chuckles a bit and she continues again.

“And of course, he was the one who is hit by me. Because he can never lay his hand on me. He suppressed everything inside. And now…this is what I am..I can never force him to love me.”

“I’m sorry Athena. I was the one who creates this mess.” she hugs Athena.

Athena lost her word. She doesn’t know what to say. Well, for her its not her sister fault. She just trying to persuade Yin Li to fall for her. But she never thought that her action makes a lot of people had a broken heart.

And…the one who suggests Aurora dress up like her is Jye Yin. Why is that? What’s her motive?

“Hmm..well, base on what you telling just now. It’s better if you guys take precaution about this Jye Yin’s girl. She sounded like a bitch to me.” Ralph tell them what he thought.

“Too late Ralph. She claims that she was pregnant with my sister’s husband.” Aurora wipes her corner of eyes.

Athena is still silent. She was a bit lost in her own thought.

“Athena’s husband? Who is it?”

“Aslan. Aslan Smith. The one that we talk about just now.” Aurora said.

“Aslan? The young tycoon from Arendell?”

Athena and Aurora nod.

“Oh wow! You guys are full of surprise.” Ralph smiles.

“Huh?” Both of Athena and Aurora tilt their head a little.

“Never mind, so who is your ex? I think you never mention his name right?” He asks Aurora.

Athena scrunch his eyebrow. Without delay, she said his name. “Yin Li.”

“Athe…” Aurora wants to stop her but it seems too late for her.

Ralph’s eyes turn wider. He gasping and look at Aurora with a shocked face.

“Yin…Yin…Li? That Mr. Banker?!!”

Shut her eyes, she lowered her head and nodded helplessly.

Athena was confused with both of their reaction.

“Why you didn’t tell me? I can smack him for you. I can punch him..” he stops for a while.

“Eh..but I did tell him something..huh..no wonder he tried to persuade you back. Is it what I think it is?” he mumbling.

“Guys…I don’t get it..is there something happen that I don’t know?” Athena look at both of them.

Aurora shakes her head. “No, nothing Athena..” she smiles.

While Ralph snaps his finger. “Aha..now I know the reason..hmm..”

“Hey, didn’t you said that you want to withdraw her blood?” Aurora tries to divert his attention.

“Oh yeah…Wait a minute I find the tray.” Ralph went out and request the tray from the lab ȧssistant.

“So, Athena… I think its better if you clear this thing with Aslan. He was misunderstanding me as you that time.”

“Okay, I’ll talk to him later. Now I know what’s the reason he left me without saying anything.”

“I really am sorry Athena.”

“Mm…It’s not your fault..” Athena shakes her head and stares at Aurora’s face with a soft gaze.

“Hey, can we start now?” Ralph went inside the room again with a stainless steels tray.

Athena nod, she pulls up her sleeves to her elbow.

Ralph prepare the glass tube and syringe.

“I will take a few years of your life span and I promised I will return it back to you. Will you let me take your blood?” He asks for Athena’s permission before he starts.

“You may.” Athena gives him permission. She purses her lips and tries to endure the pain.

Extracting her blood out will make her in pain. But this is the only way she had right now. She will do anything just to be with Aslan for a little longer.
