Black Swan's
Eden's Family (One Hundred Thirty Six)
Eden was ready in her room with the twins coming home soon. It feels really nice to be back home while bringing two new members who will later join screaming with Ciara and Louise. They will both fight to change diapers or calm their sisters if whining in the morning, in the afternoon, or even at night. Eden caught a lot of interest that radiated in the eyes of Ciara and Louise to their younger siblings.
Never forgotten by Eden how the expression of wonder Louise when she said if her stomach there are two babies. The little man just touched his stomach with an overabundance of curiosity, and after that he shouted in excitement as his hand felt an extremely powerful kick from Theo and Lean. Geez, it's so sweet, thought Eden happy.
There is nothing more fun than thinking about her little family being away from trouble. He had been waiting for this for a long time. Looking forward to Aciel who comes with a face full of father figures that will be a pride for his children and himself. Little by little his memory of the past appeared like an incredible miracle. He could remember Zyan well now. He recalled how the kind-hearted man died while they were still husband and wife. Then a series of emotional events continue to occur in her life until she finally conceives the twins and finds peace. Unwittingly the twins have brought so much happiness to Eden and her family.
“You are a blessing to mom and dad. Grow up healthy, baby. Mommy loves you very much.” Eden whispered softly in the ears of her two children and then kissed their cheeks in turn. The adorable Theo moves his cute hands behind the tiny gloves that protect him. While the handsome Lean looks to make a squirming motion on top of her baby box like an adorable little cat.
“Ohh..
Everyone would definitely be extremely anxious at them once Aciel brought them to the mansion. Eden was willing to bet, all the servants there would definitely not be able to turn away from the cute behavior of the twins.
“Hai darling.”
Aciel greeted his wife while clasping a very beautiful bouquet of lilies. It's a family tradition he said. It is not bad if a husband does not bring a bouquet of his favorite flowers when he invites his wife to go home and welcome a better day with their newborn baby.
“I don't remember you carrying a bouquet of flowers at the birth of Ciara and Louise.” Eden's tease was witty upon receiving the bouquet with open arms. Although he knew Aciel was more than capable of buying acres of lily plantations, but that was not the essence of all of this. The symbol of affection, love, and sincerity from a bouquet of lilies that Aciel gave her was something that money would never be able to buy.
“Indeed I didn't give it. Remember, you ran away from me before Ciara was born. And when Louise was born, you were lying in a coma with a pale face. How can I give you a flower? Instead of expecting a happy hue on your face, I get the pain of seeing a concerned corpse-like face. And do you know, I never did not think of the possibilities if you would leave me forever.”
“You mean never wake up from a coma?” sahut Eden with a grin. It was impossible if Aciel was not afraid, his condition was very weak at that time. For some reason now he could feel what it was like to lie stiff with great frustration gnawing at his heart.
The one thing that finally made him wake up at that moment, he saw Louise. Yep! Now he could say that clearly because strangely the shadow appeared in his head. A little man she recognized as Louise when she was two years old waved at her, gesturing her to rise from the frustration that was holding her back. Then he ran after his figure that left so quickly. After that he realized if he opened his eyes with a bitch. Then he got angry at Aciel while making various accusations like crazy. It was funny indeed, and Eden could not forget Aciel's shocked expression as he gushed it with his harsh words.
“Considering the past again dear?” tanya Aciel who had somehow been next to him and was embracing his shoulder while looking at his twins with a sparkling face.
“You also feel it?”
“Taste what?” ask Aciel not to understand. He held out one hand touching Chubby Theo's cheek. The baby will definitely be Aciel's favorite after Ciara.
“The happy feelings they emit. I never felt a birth this calm as long as I was your wife. They don't fuss, they don't make me feel severe morning sickness, and they practically turn you into a more family man. Do you feel it?” the Light of Eden. His two hands clenched excitedly over his thighs, he felt so enthusiastic today.
“I think so too. More beautiful things they bring to our family. That's the effect of having two babies, if you have three or more, your happiness will definitely be many times this.”
“Hmm... I know the direction of this talk, Mr. Lutherford.” growled Eden pretended to be angry. But he just laughed afterwards while immersing his face in the chest of Aciel. “Perhaps if they are already big, I can give you a chance to captain the Lutherford.” team
“I take that as a promise, dear.” said Aciel gently as he kissed the top of his wife's head lovingly. And as Eden was being swept away with all the happiness they were having, Aciel slipped a second gift for Eden around his neck.
“Ace, what is this?” eden asked to feel his own neck. He immediately felt amazed when he got a necklace with a pendant that was so beautiful as a pendulum.
“Two gifts from me. I designed it myself and gave my thoughts to the craftsmen. Then I asked to put our family photos in there.”
Eden immediately pulled the pendulum closer to his face and immediately opened the pendulum necklace that Aciel had given him. “Yes God, this is beautiful.” Eden could not say anything other than beautiful when he saw a small photo of their family mounted neatly in the pendant. Not to forget the photo of the twins at birth also added Aciel there, and make the necklace becomes more luxurious with a value that will not be able to be bought with money.
“I cried.” moaned funny Eden when he could not resist the haru that burst in his heart. How could a stilted Aciel Lutherford have rendered Eden Lutherford helpless because of his romance. Ck, that man must have learned very hard over the years to become a romantic man in the presence of Eden.
“This is the tear I was expecting. Can I say again if I love you?”
“Please, Mr. Aciel Lutherford.” reply Eden blushed. No matter how much Aciel said those words, Eden would never get bored. Instead, he hoped that the words would continue to be heard in his ears until death separated them. Until they can no longer live together in this world, they will live together forever in eternity.
As Eden was swept away in his overflowing joy, Aciel gave a passionate deep kiss to his wife. He thought Eden deserved all that happiness before she revealed the bad news that would make Eden leave her happy face for a moment.
“About what Louise and Ciara are doing at home?”
“Ciara just got home from school. I picked him up myself and dropped him off at home so he could throw a surprise party for you. And little Louise, she must be doing her job as usual.”
Eden chuckled little to hear the story of Aciel. “Disturbing the surprise party Ciara is making you mean?”
“Quickly once.”
Of course Louise's habit as an adorable man, she would be a very annoying troublemaker for her brother. If they get along, they'll be awesome sisters. But if they were fighting, don't expect Ciara won't shake the house with her incredible screams. Then little Louise would usually run around ignorant into Aciel's arms while pleading for protection from her fierce sister.
“Oya Ed.”
As Eden was arranging Theo's quilt to be moved into a large, dark blue stroller, Aciel approached her while showing a strange gurgle.
“You want to say something?”
“Actually yes, and I hope this will not tear down your happiness for today.”
“This morning I got some bad news from Nathan.” Pause for a while as Aciel takes a deep breath to tell the gist of the bad news he brought. “Olivia was kidnapped by Scout last night.”
It was as if Aciel's guess about him was correct. Eden felt her happiness crumble upon hearing news of Olivia becoming worse by the day.
“How can it?” eden asked with a trembling voice. Can't imagine how scared Olivia is right now because she's being held hostage by Scout. The man must have been crazy to the point of taking such a terrible action.
“Sian. He did not follow my advice. I asked him to speak to Olivia carefully to find a way out of their problems. But Nathan told me that their conversation ended with a cry and a simple mockery that was so ear-splitting. I thought it was Sian's anger that caught him off guard and caused Olivia to fall into the man's hands.”
“Yes God, Olivia.” isak Eden powder. As a friend who was told how the beginning of the catastrophe happened, she felt guilty for Olivia because she became negligent to the woman after the birth of her babies. All of her current attention has been on her own happiness without ever thinking about how depressed and frightened Olivia is every night.
“Isn't the man still tied to your company?”
“Actually not since I bought the design two days ago. Scout just used the excuse of wanting to oversee the construction of the factory to get close to Olivia. Our working relationship is over, Ed. I've given him full pay.
Eden sighed sadly hearing her husband's explanation. Now the man is free to roam around carrying Olivia without worrying about her job. “Then what will we do? Find Olivia, Ace. Please.” Eden begged with hope in front of Aciel. Only I have hope of finding Olivia. While she was recovering after her delivery, she would never be able to move freely in search of Olivia.
“I will definitely do it. You take it easy, Ed.” whispered Aciel full of promise.
Eden really hopes that Aciel can use all his power to find Olivia. But then Eden hesitates when her mind sets off something terrible, what if Olivia is taken out of Las Vegas and murdered?
-00-
Scout takes Olivia away from her rental apartment in Las Vegas after they had to do a heated debate. While driving his car, the tail of Scout's eyes continue to glance at Olivia's movements that look calmer than before. Ever since he dragged the woman into his car, Olivia became more reserved and did not argue at all. Though he had mentally prepared to serve the debate that the woman would have, but that was it. According to him it was much better, so that he could focus his attention on the long street in front of him.
“Eat this, you haven't eaten since morning.”
Suddenly Scout rolls a packet of tuna sandwich in Olivia's lap. Although he was a jerk, he would not let a weak woman like Olivia starve with him, because the life of the woman was important to him. I don't know, maybe he's in love with Olivia. But he also could not deny the feeling of resentment because the woman continued to fight, so he was forced to use rude ways to tame the woman
“Supply me! Do you want me to force you.”
Olivia turned her head in a huff while looking flat at Scout who began to pull over her car on the side of a deserted country road. The man looked so cruel and authoritarian, making Olivia feel careless to be around the man.
“I'll eat if I'm hungry, so you don't have to bother pulling your car over and forcing me to eat. Who are you! Even my husband and my family never forced me to eat or reminded me to eat while at home. So you have no right to force me with your haughty, disgusting style because you have no right to rule my life.” Olivia replied fiercely. But the woman began to open the loaf of bread given by Scout and ate in silence. Her child needs nutrition, that's what Olivia is thinking right now. She did not want to risk her child being born disabled because she did not take good care of her pregnancy.
“This, you have to spend everything.”
As if understanding Olivia's way of thinking, Scout throws another packet of toast at Olivia after the man picks her up from the passenger seat in the back. From the body language that Olivia showed she knew that the woman was currently starving. And again, Scout is quite aware that currently Olivia also needs to feed her growing child in Olivia's womb.
“Currently Sian must be confused looking for you. Then the haughty Aciel, he also will not be left behind to look for you with all the power he has. Isn't it nice to kidnap one of Aciel Lutherford's relatives?”
“I hope so too. You think they'll find me after what happens? Maybe Sian was just happy I left her.” reply Olivia cynical. His heart certainly hurt considering that Sian had since yesterday continued to accuse him vilely. Disappearing him today would certainly not have any effect on Sian who had turned to hate him.
Olivia stopped chewing her bread while recalling all the bad memories that had happened to her lately. And he immediately blamed Scout as the mastermind of all the problems that had befallen him until this moment. He felt so sick of that man. Actually the reason for giving up on Scout this time is to see how much love Sian and his other family have for him. Would they care if he disappeared? He wanted to see how their faces would look when he found out that he had been kidnapped by mentally ill men like Scout. But if she remembered them, Olivia couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest as she recalled Justice. Poor little princess. Would he be fine without his being by his side?
Bughh
“You're evil! Give me back home right now! Justice needs her mother. You can separate my daughter from me.”
Olivia changed her mind. He deliberately hit Scout repeatedly and made the man lose concentration, so that the car he drove several times almost out of the lane and hit another car coming from the opposite direction. But Scout swiftly kept Olivia away from the steering wheel of her car so that the woman could not mess with her driving activities again.
“What are you doing? If you want to die, then you have to be a little more patient because I still need you alive. I want the kid.” hiss Scout gets angry and goes back to being calm at the wheel of his car. Scout eventually managed to give a more logical reason on
Olivia's. The reason he kidnapped the woman was because he wanted his son to be born safely by Olivia. Ever since he saw Sian's rude attitude towards Olivia, Scout became afraid that Sian would hurt his son as a form of impingement because he had desecrated his wife.
Olivia then turned her face towards the window while throwing the remaining half-stuffed bread under her chair. He suddenly felt full and did not want to eat the bread anymore. It felt as if his stomach had been full after hearing all the strange man's nonsense. Why did the man suddenly want the child? Olivia still doesn't understand Scout's way of thinking. Previously the man acted as a jerk who wanted to snatch him from Sian, then now the man said he wanted his son to be born safely. What exactly was the purpose of Scout all along?
“What...”
Jleb
Suddenly Scout stabs something in Olivia's arm and makes the woman wide-eyed with Scout's totally unexpected behavior.
“Aaa what are you doing to me?” ask Olivia. His whole head felt spinning and throbbing. Slowly his eyes became blurred and gradually the grinning face of Scout became lost, replaced with a terrible deep darkness.
“Good sleep Olivia darling.”
