Skyler was silent, she didn't know what to say to him anymore. She turned her head and made eye contact with Irene who also remained indifferent. Raul was beginning to sense that there was something that they weren't telling him. “What's going on here?”She sighed, no longer seeing any point in lying to him, after all he was bound to find out one day. “I'm sorry Raul, there's something I've been hiding from you,” she started, lowering her gaze. His face contorted in confusion as he stared at her. “I'm actually from the Vanguard family, the rich ones. Ethan Vanguard, the legion commander, is my brother.”It felt like she had just delivered a blow to his stomach, the betrayal hurt like a physical hit. “What?” he asked. “So all this while you've been lying to me?”“Raul it's not like that… When I came to this school I really didn't want anybody to learn about my true identity, I was tired of living in my brother's shadow and I wanted to have my own identity, that's why I decided to ke
Elizabeth looked up, making eye contact with Irene before looking at her daughter. That singular gesture confirmed to Skyler that something was indeed wrong. Before the woman could have the chance to speak, Jax and Lucy stepped out from the corner, Skyler was surprised to see them because nobody had informed her that the lieutenants were at her house. “Skyler, something happened to your brother. She was trying to catch the rebel leader Cyrus but unfortunately they abducted him first.”“What?! Was he kidnapped again?” She questioned. “No. The chopper that he was in had an accident,” Lucy said, guilt lacing her voice. Jax couldn't bring himself to speak because he was still feeling like what had happened was his fault. “An accident? So where is he now? Where is my brother Ethan?!” Her voice was trembling. “That's what we don't know yet, we're still doing everything within our power to search for him. So far there's been no sight of him, we're still looking for his body.”Elizabeth
The bodyguard that was assigned to keep an eye on her was standing outside, he took a quick glance at his watch and squeezed his face, wondering why she was wasting so much time inside. Growing impatient, he turned around and opened the door to the women's bathroom. A group of girls who were fixing their lipstick in front of the mirror turned to face him with a gasp escaping from their lips. “Oh my goodness! What a jerk!” They said as his eyes roamed the place. He took a step into the bathroom and they began to panic threatening to call security but he couldn't care less, he began to open the stalls one by one in search of Valerie. Before he opened the third stall, Valerie came out. “What in the world are you doing here?” she asked. “You need to get back to the party, Antonio must be looking for you,” he replied in a strict voice. She blinked a few times before following him. He still cast his eyes towards the store that she came from and then looked back at her before following
Ethan and Kayla were seated in the doctor's office and he was taking down some notes. “So you said you found him washed up by the sea?”Kayla nodded. “Yes actually, my dad found him, he had ground and was already dying. When they brought him home, I managed to resuscitate him with CPR.”A small smirk formed in the doctor's face and he propped his elbow on his desk. “This is why it's important for you to have these skills, otherwise God knows what would have happened-”“Doctor, can we please just get to the part where we treat me?” Ethan interjected rudely. The small smile and the doctor's face faded away. “Sure. So with everything I've been told, it appears you have a trauma induced amnesia. I'm not sure if it's emotional trauma or physical trauma. It could be that the explosion you said you heard in your dream was an accident that probably caused you to hit your head or something and then you had memory loss. Or you could be that the experience was too traumatizing for you so as a m
Valerie was terrified when she saw the look in his eyes. She crawled backwards, tears filling her eyes. “What did you Just say?” He asked through gritted teeth. She looked up, “I - I'm pregnant,” she stuttered. “How?! When?” He was too stunned to speak. With newfound courage she got on her feet. “You kidnapped me from my fiancé! I was already pregnant for him, that's how!” He lunged forward, hands wrapping around her neck tightly. “How long have you known this?” Short gasps escaped her throat as she struggled to breathe despite the constriction. “I knew while I was attending my friend's wedding,” she lied, trying to save Melissa. She knew that if she told him that it was Melissa that helped her get a pregnancy test kit, the poor woman would land in a lot of trouble. Antonio shoved her aside, making her topple and land smack on her thighs. He paced around, unsure of what to do or say. “You- ugh!” He let out in frustration, tossing his belt aside. Even as bad as he was, he knew t
Ethan moved closer to the voice, he finally saw Valerie. He was stunned by how beautiful she looked. Some memories of the time they spent together came rushing.“Valerie my love,” he mouthed in his semi conscious state. While Dr. Michaela smiled, happy that the first session of the therapy was yielding results, Kayla who was standing behind her stepped back, her eyes watering. Jealousy gripped her when she heard him utter those words because she couldn't deny the attraction she was feeling for him even though they'd just know each other for a few days. Eventually the hypnotic wore out and then he cracked his eyes open. The doctor wore a wide grin and she gave him a soft applause. “Usually many patients don't get any memories back in their first session, some don't even get any back till they are in the fourth or fifth session. You showed quite great progress, and I'm sure you're on the way to speedy recovery,” Michaela said. He rubbed his head and got up. After she gave them some
Skyler was seated on her bed with a downcast expression sprawled across her face. Samantha was by the corner ironing her shirt when she paused, looking over her shoulders at her roommate. She had to return to school in the evening yesterday because she had classes today and Elizabeth did not want her to miss the class.“What's got you feeling depressed like that?” She asked. “Oh, is it boy issues?”She raised her head, about to say something to counter what Samantha had just said, but in actuality, it was technically boy issues. Skylar's silence reinforced Samantha's proposition. “Omg,” she let out, setting the pressing iron aside. “It is boy issues!” She exclaimed. “It's not exactly boy issues like that, he's just my friend and-” “Wait wait wait - are we talking about Raul? Because he's the only guy I see you hang out with constantly.”She nodded reluctantly, “Yes, it's him. He found out something I've been hiding from him and he's angry with me, he's not replying to any of my te
“And you're sure this will work?” Jax asked as he pushed his luggage cart through the airport. Earlier on, Natasha had arranged them with fake documents that he could use to travel straight to Chelmen. “Yes because we're not here as dreadland soldiers, we're just here as ordinary people. This was how Ethan and I were able to rescue my wife and kids.”Lucy smirked. “She was the one, the one you saved during the raid right?” She stated. Keith’s lips tightened. “Yes, she was.”“I'm happy for you,” she responded, the cool sea breeze crashing against their faces while they walked out of the bustling airport. Jax took off his glasses and scanned the cityscape before him, “so this is the vacation island everyone keeps talking about,” he said.Keith urged him to put back his glasses on for disguise purposes. A black car pulled up in front of them and a middle aged man walked out. “Natasha called and she said you people need a car, return it tomorrow by 6:00 no scratches please.” He had a
