Chapter 67
Audrey couldn’t help but admire the man next to her all focused on the road. He looks so beautiful as always.
Her cheeks were crimson red at the thought of what he did. With him, she always gets to experience a new level of pleasure and it’s mind-blowing.
“If you keep staring like that, I’ll be left with no choice but to eat you up again for the second time” he teased and glanced at her.
She lowered her head in embarrassment, he was so shameless and straight forward but she loved him regardless.
“I’m sore” she mumbles in her throat, intertwining her fingers together.
He glances at her tiny self before turning his attention back to the road. “Get some rest, we’ve got lots of time for you” he urges.
Audrey shakes her head in denial, “no” she interjects.
“Stubborn, huh?” He raised a brow but didn’t turn to her.
“You know I’d never do that” she bites on her lower lips, “I just don’t want to sleep while you drive… It’ll be boring ” she explains, ” after all, we both did the deeds and deserve to rest” she mumbles in her mouth.
Cannon’s lips pull up into a smile, ” you shouldn’t compare your fragile self to me” he chuckles.
Audrey frowns in displeasure, ” why shouldn’t I? ” She questioned.
” I’m a super being unlike a little tiny bunny, I’m strong and mighty ” he explains, ” so don’t let me talk much and just do what I say before I decide to eat you again and make you whimper in my lust and desire ”
Audrey rolls her eyes at his words, well, it’s not like he is lying. Whatever he said was nothing but the truth and she feels hot about it.
” Fine! ” She said, giving in to his commands. “Don’t you dare laugh at me if I ended up drooling in your car seat?” she said, arranging her head on the lean back seat and closing her eyes.
” I’ll help clean you off” He added with a smile, his tone was playful.
She smiles but doesn’t open her eyes. Cannon drives so gently making sure she is comfortable in her rest.
She needs this or else she will be a piece of dead meat walking around.
She couldn’t tell if they had reached or not but the place she was standing didn’t look at all familiar.
The trees dance on their spot as branches move back and forth, and the wind blows alongside bringing the sweet scent and freshness of nature along.
The view was simple yet beautiful, reminding her of everything’s beauty. She wished Cannon was there with her, to experience the perfect work of art.
While she lingers in her thoughts, the voice of someone sobbing is heard. It was faint at first but it kept getting louder.
Curiosity hits her head as she turns around searching to see if there is anyone other than her.
Just then, she caught sight of a lady, seated under a tall fig tree crying all by herself. She moves closer to get a better view.
The lady had long blonde hair that fell beautifully to her back, her head buried on her thigh and she sobs non-stop.
The moment she reached for the lady, everything started changing. The beautiful forest full of life and sweetness automatically changed to a dark gloomy atmosphere with nothing but silence everywhere.
She saw the lady again, only this time, she wasn’t crying but rather she was just seated staring at nothing but the lonely look on her face couldn’t be ignored.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“Cassie???” A voice calls from the other direction, a guy of around twenty steps out of the dark.
Audrey was curious to know who he was and what relationship he had with the sad lady but then, the way the blonde beamed at the sight of the guy made her understand their relationship without asking.
“You came!” Cassie blurted and threw herself into his arms. From the look of things, it’s like she thought he was never coming back or something related.
“I promised, didn’t I? ” He said, cupping her face and kissing her forehead.
“Oh, Rex! I’m glad you are here” she exclaims in happiness and hugs him again.
A frown appears on Audrey’s face at the mention of the name Rex. “Did I hear her say, Rex? No, Maybe I just misheard her” she denies. It can’t be her dad, it definitely can’t be.
She was so sure it was not her dad until the guy looked at her, her entire being froze at the sight of the familiar hazel eyes staring piercingly at her, those silky dark hair was disheveled but made him look handsome.
It was him, her dad. He has always been good-looking but right now, Audrey could swear his beauty is worth dying for.
“Dad?” She calls out, still in disbelief.
Where am I? What is going on? Those questions linger in her mind but no answers could be found.
“We should leave now, I think they are coming,” Rex said and pulled Cassie along heading deep into the dark.
Audrey stayed rooted to her spot as she stared at the darkness where they disappeared. She spoke out but it was as if she didn’t exist, that can only mean one thing… It’s all a dream, someone’s memory but the question here is who?
It can’t be Cannon’s, or it would have been linked to him. Why is she seeing all these? Is there something she’s supposed to know that she doesn’t?
The sound of footsteps was getting louder, she turned around only to see a group of people, about a dozen of them approaching at high speed with sticks as if chasing a thief.
She didn’t run, not like they would see her. So she thought until a huge guy that was two steps away from her raised the large wood in his hand and was about to hit her.
Out of fear, Audrey covers her head falling to her knees and waiting for the pain that never came. She stayed for minutes, thinking it was still on the way but no matter how much she waited, nothing came.
“She’s so beautiful!” She heard a female voice exclaim, the happiness in her tone was very obvious.
Only then did she decide to look around, she was stunned to find herself in a different environment. Unlike the dark and lonely deserted area, this place was like a house, a small house but capable of accommodating three people.
From afar were Cassie and Rex, with a little fragile being, they both looked so happy.
“She looks just like you” Rex chimes, staring at Cassie lovingly.
“She has your hair color” Cassie couldn’t stop herself from commenting.
“She’s got your eyes,” Red adds. It was as if they were doing a competition by telling each other what the baby took from both of them.
“She’s as beautiful as our love for each other” Cassie continues.
“That’s because she’s the symbol of our unending love” Rex kisses the baby’s cheeks in adoration.
“Let’s call her Amia, representing the symbol of our love” Cassie proposed.
“She is our love, looking at her is like looking at our love … I’d prefer we call her Audrey, she will be strong and noble” Rex interjects.
Cassie gave some seconds of thought before responding, ” She will be the strongest of them all”
” Because she’s made of our infinite love,” Rex and Cassie said in unison, feeling so blessed to have the little one in their midst.
Audrey walks to them and glances at the baby, she gasps at the sight of her beauty, pure and untainted. The baby’s features were exactly like hers, her tiny pointed nose, small plump pink lips, and tiny slender fingers.
She could feel her heart swell knowing she was loved by her parents, she was the symbol of their love and was named by them.
If they loved her this much and adored her, what caused their separation? What made her once-loving dad change to the extent that she became a curse to him instead of the love and blessing she’s made to believe?
What is this dream trying to tell her? Why can’t she be shown directly and stop making her second guess things?
