The Passion Of My Enemy
** Lonelyness part 2 **
Eve is very confused to hear the anger in Alex's voice.
Getting pregnant? Alex thinks I'm pregnant?
Eve looked down at the pregnancy test kit she had placed in Alex's palm.
Oh my gosh, he thinks this test is mine.
Eve sighed Alex's jaws so that their faces would face off.
"Alex, listen to me."
"Tell me who that guy is, Ivy!" Alex cut out the explanation Eve was going to say.
"Alexes. I think Amy ...."
"Tell me first who you're doing that to!"
"Alex! Don't cut my words! Listen to me first!" Eve snaps.
Alex fell silent. Tightening her jaw, inexplicably anger filled her chest when she thought of Eve becoming pregnant. Which means he's with another man.
"It's not mine, Alex."
"What?"
"I found her on the hotel floor after Amy left our room that night. I'm pretty sure it's hers ...."
Alex rubbed his face hearing Eve's words.
"I think this is why he suddenly came looking for Derek that night, wanting to tell me this good news."
"Jeez .. and he saw the scene instead, my God."
"Yes .. This is what makes me so depressed. This news has to be Amy herself telling Derek. That is his right. But now he just left ... the woman was alone out there. He's not like us, Alex. He was protected and guarded since he was a baby. What if something happens to her. Derek will be destroyed ...."
"Stttt .. we don't know that yet, Ivy. I'm sure Amy's fine. From the beginning you should have explained how you and Derek are related."
"What do you know about me and Derek?" Eve frowned, all this time she had used Derek to make Alex jealous, for the man to notice her a little. He never approached other men because it was hard to trust them, but Derek was already like a brother to him. Where they shared food while still scavenging in the streets as children. Before Derek left and became Erland Langton's adopted son. Derek looked for her when he grew up. Derek didn't seem to forget it. He learns and gives all of his abilities to help Derek run the Langton family business empire. Eve looks wild, sexy and sensual . But behind that, his childhood and teenage experiences on the streets led him to stay away from men, in the sense of being in a relationship.
Alex smiles. Shrugging his shoulders, refusing to answer.
"Imagine by you, she's pregnant, going alone somewhere. Without care. What if Derek's enemies find out."
"It's only been an Ivy day. Let's hope our informants have some encouraging news in a little while. Let me take you home, you need to rest."
Eve did not argue, closing her eyes as Alex's car began to move out of the parking lot.
"You should be fine, Amy." Eve sighed softly.

"He's not here, Mike." Derek sat on the terrace chair.
They arrive at a large white house on a hill, where the widest estate belongs to Amy's father. The house is empty. There was only the housekeeper who said not a single person had come there. He will surely recognize when the nona comes. But no one came and saw the look on the woman's face. Derek's sure he's not lying.
"If Reggie was here, he'd know exactly where Amy was going."
"But Regina left, Derek .. something like scaring her." Mike had been telling Derek about Reggie's fears and strangeness during their trip.
"Little town over there ...." Mike pointed.
"What's in there?"
"We're looking for them there. Look at every inn."
"You're right ... Come ...."
Unseen, Pablo noticed the two men in the distance. Knowing that one of them is her non-husband. Pablo saw the two walking towards the car, they stopped to look at the mansion once more, before finally entering and leaving the house.
Pablo was about to open the door of the SUV when a car on the turn began to be seen speeding towards him. Pray that the car will not stop. He forgot the fact that Amy's husband's car was going to pass his place when he got down from the house on the hill. But his prayers were not answered. The car pulled over, then two large men with gallant posture descended, walking towards him.
Jeez Amy ....You married the lion Langton and then gave me trouble, what dreams do I have to face today.
Pablo grumbled in his heart over his misfortune. But his face did not imply anything. He immediately nodded his head in a sign of respect as the two men were already standing before him.
"Mr ...." Pablo nodded his head.
"What's your name, son?" The man with cold gray eyes asked.
Son ... he called me son, do I look that young? I'm a man, sir!
Pablo looked at the man who asked him and immediately replied politely.
"I'm Pablo, Sir ... I'm one of the supervisors of this plantation."
He turned to Derek. She knew Amy's husband. He often sees it in magazines and even on the internet. Their wedding news has been a trending topic for weeks.
"You didn't tell me if you were going to visit, sir," he said.
Derek nodded at the young man.
"You know who I am?"
Pablo nodded back.
"We know our Miss is married to you, Sir. Which means you are our master now. Sorry Mr.... did Miss come? I'll tell the housekeeper to get everything ready if you tell me first." Pablo tried to make his voice steady and not shake.
Derek shook his hand.
"No. Amy's not coming. That's what I want to ask anyway. Has he ever been here?"
Pablo pretended to frown. Alternately looking at the two men, he shook his head dramatically.
"No Sir. Miss hasn't visited this plantation in a long time."
"What about Regina? Has he ever been here?" The gray-eyed man asked. Made Pablo look at him.
"Regina?" pablo asked confusedly.
"Amy calls him Reggie, his bodyguard, long black-haired." Mike describes Regina's performance to Pablo.
Pablo felt short of breath. The black hair also disappeared. But Amy's here alone, so where's Reggie then?
"Oh ... Miss Reggie's escort, she hasn't been here in a long time, sir. "
Why do I feel like a bullet went through my heart after saying it. Oh my God .. You're going to accept the consequences, Pablo. But this is for Nonamu .. and this one standing before you is your Master, stupid Pablo!
Pablo was busy talking to himself in his heart.
"alright. We're leaving now then." Derek signs Mike to follow him.
"Wait Mister. Will you stay in a big house? I'll tell the housekeeper there to be prepared if you'll stay."
"No. We're going to a small town there. Maybe stay at a hotel in town."
Pablo nodded. "All right, sir."
Derek and Mike get back in their car. Leaving behind Pablo who slightly bowed his body as his master's car passed by and passed. Holding the thump of his heart, he felt as if a rope had been prepared to punish him.
You'll have to help me if I'm finally caught and they punish me, miss.
Pablo opened the car door. Come by to go home. Describe the situation to the young mistress who still insisted on hiding on the grounds of being alone and giving problems for Pablo's life.
