Chapter 6

WHEN morning came Eloissa was feeling better. He was even surprised when he woke up to find the lady beside him. He did not know what had happened and next to him it slept.

As he stared at the sleeping lady he couldn't help but ask.

Why do you know my name but I don't know you?" She gasped. "Yes and I'm Eloissa but I don't know when I cheated on you? When I robbed your boss?"

He sighed heavily again before deciding to get up and leave the bed.

He landed again in front of the window and let the sun touch his skin. She likes sunrise so much because for her, it symbolizes new beggining, new hope. That after the long-dark night, sunrise will shine again to light our day. She just have to wait for the day to come.

But how long will he have to wait? She's been waiting and up until now she's still waiting.

When he realized that discouragement was eating him again, he shook his head and then left the room while the lady was still asleep.

He also searched for a few minutes where the kitchen was fortunately he found that as well. It's very clean and spacious. There is an island counter in the middle and at its top is a small chandelier. Its color is a mixture of black and silver which makes it look heavy. He approached the large refrigerator, looked at what he could cook. He pulled out a few pieces of eggs and the beef loaf he saw. He wasn't sure if they would eat what he was going to cook but he still dined.

He ate first before he started mixing the egg and the beef loaf that he had sliced ​​into a circle, he must have fried it.

As he did that he could not help but remember what he had done before he was imprisoned, he remembered the workers with whom he had planted.

"How are they?" He asked himself curiously. He shook his head. They did him no good. He shouldn't have to worry about them anymore.

He was not satisfied with what he cooked so he also cooked pancakes.

While he was cooking, a baritone voice suddenly spoke from behind him, causing him to drop the spoon he was holding in shock.

"What are you doing? Planning to burn my kitchen again?" Angry almost shouted at it.

Her heart pounded with excitement. I'm ... n-I'm cooking ..." his trembling was not hidden in his voice.

I can cook"

It cut him off quickly. "Since when !?"

Eloissa just shut her mouth. There is no use arguing with this man, it will not listen to him. She hates arguing so much because she don't know how to defend herself. He took big steps past it and hurriedly walked out of the garden where he was yesterday.

She have to breathe. She wants to clear her mind because there is a lot of question that was bothering her since she met him.

In the shade he sat in bermuda shorts. Not far away he saw the lady watering the plant so he approached it.

He sneezed first before he called it out. "Mom?" How could he know its name? He can ask questions.

"I'm Milda, Nay Milda is what the young maids here at the mansion call me, but some of them are on day off and others are on-leave." He explained that to his surprise, his back still remained behind him and like his boss, his voice was also mixed with coldness.

Can I ask for a favor?" He asked in an awkward tone What kind of favor is that?" He asked while he was still busy watering the plants.

He first took a deep breath. "Do you have a picture of the El you're referring to I mean do you have a picture of me?" He just changed what he was supposed to ask. The lady may even think that she is crazy.

When he heard his question, he must have stopped what he was doing, he turned off the hose before facing him.

"I'll see later if there's more, I'll just deliver it to you when I see something." He answered in a serious voice.

He smiled and nodded. He still wanted to ask but he still didn’t know what and how he was going to ask here that he didn’t sound weird.

He heard everything the lady said last night. And it is very impossible for that to happen. They called her Eloissa like they really knew her. He wants to think that he has twins but his brain doesn't want to accept that.

"My, mama and papa will never lie a thing like that." She muttered. It is very impossible that he has twins. He knew his parent would never lie about such a thing. And she trusted them.

She saw her birth certificate before when she was still studying and she was born single. He has no twins and he believes in that. He needs to know the true identity when they refer to Eloissa. How did they become alike? And whether even their last name is the same. She has to know everything, she wants to clear her name.

"But what if I can get out of here? What would my life be outside of this mansion?" Then image of her aunt and uncle beating her to death suddenly flashed into her mind.

Her palms quickly grew cold with fear No! I would never come back to that place. He was imprisoned for four years and almost went insane.

No ones to talk and sometimes no food and lastly no air to breathe.

He looked up at the blue sky. "Ah! What a lucky life."

ALL day long he was confined to his room. He is now forbidden to go around the mansion. Who is he to complain? She just silently watched from the young man. Thinking of a good way to get information about the woman they know Eloissa.

When night came, Nay Milda entered her room with a picture on her hands. She handed it to him and her eyes almost popped out in shock.

The girl in the picture looks exactly like her. Then beside that girls is the dangerous man who took her here, he look so hondsome and clean with his tuxedo, the picture she was holding was a wedding picture.

She shook her head with disbelief.

"No! .. Why do I look like her?"

ELOISSA didn't get the chance to sleep all night. His desire to meet the woman they were referring to as Eloissa doubled. He would never be relieved until he knew why there was a woman who looked like him. It feels so strange, he knows he has no twins or other siblings.

Disgusted she messed up her hairAargg! How do I begin to find the truth? Early in the morning his brain was stressed-out.

She was shocked when she heard the door open, she spat at the man she didn't want to talk to anymore because her head was hurting even more.

When he saw his state he grinned, he in turn simply straightened his curly hair and sat up straight.

You look so stressed out. Why? Because you can't have money and you can't think of any plan to stole money from me again?" His said with mocking tone. His smirked still platered on his face.

No words came out of him because he still wanted it to be spoken word for word so that somehow he could get some information about the Eloissa they were referring to. She wanted to know what it did and what kind of woman it was. So, she stayed silent, and so the man did.

He then wanted to belittle the man. Now shut up he shut it up too!

Why are you not talking?" He asked still no emotion on his eyes.

Because I don't know you and I don't know what you're saying.!" There was no hesitation in his response to this. She wants to provoke him so he could speak more.

It clapped loudly while shaking. "What a drama queen. Then he send danger glared towards her that made her body feel chilled.

My dear gold digger wife is such a naughty woman. But sorry to say that I won't buy this crap again. You can't fool me again Eloissa Ventura Rodriguez!" He almost shouted her full name that made her frown at the same time she felt her world stop from spinning, her blood drain, her hands form into fist while its quivering.

How can even their last name be the same? If he has twins, how can they have the same name? Oh wait, her full name is Eloissa Jane Ventura Rodriguez. Is it possible that only your 'Jane' in my name is the difference?

I am Eloissa Jane Ventura Rodriguez, and i guess you cast a wrong woman. Indeed I'm Eloissa but not the Eloissa you've been looking for. I don't know you"

Stop bullsh*ting me! What are you trying to say ? The vein in Franco's neck had almost come out. His patience was too low. Why is the annulment process so long ?! He really wants to get rid of the woman infront of him.

Please .." Eloissa's voice was begging. Hear me out," she knew because not everything was really convincing but she still wanted to explain, she wanted to believe him but no one or nothing could prove her innocence. Please believe me, sir, I don't really know you not because I don't remember but because we didn't really meet." He didn't want to but his tears were slowly dripping. You poured even more when the man turned his back on her.

You will stay here until we get the annulment papers." He coldly said before he leave.

He was alone in the room again, confused and not knowing what to do. No, she has to plan, she has to think of a plan even if it is vague she will try everything she can. His life could not be happy again just waiting for him to be free.

With determination, she stood up and left her room quietly. If it is true that his wife is what Eloissa is referring to she has the peculiarity that she can get any information in the man's room. Ofcourse those two are married, they shared the same room.

The question is how will he know where his room is?

She gasped. "Never mind, I'll just find out, if I have to tour the whole mansion I'll do it." He took a deep breath and began to open the doors he was passing through. The other room was just like the bedroom he was sleeping in, empty, only a bed and a side cabinet.

Until he landed on the third floor. He still couldn't help but be surprised. Marble floor, a gold big chandelier on the ceiling. In the front side is a wide open window overlooking the view outside.

On the third floor he saw only three doors. The two doors are only white and the middle door is black. Even just the door you will know how expensive it is.

He rolled his eyes at the three doors, wondering what to prioritize.

Eventually he decided to put the middle first. Nervously, he stepped there.

He took a few more deep breaths before carefully and slowly turning the silver door lock.

His eyes were still closed as the door slowly opened a small opening.

He peeked inside first and when he saw no one d'un he hurried inside.

He carefully closed the door just so it wouldn't create any noise.

Her mouth parted when she saw the room. It was cozy and very manly. A mixture of black, white and gray colors that made the room looks so elegant.

A set of leather sofa, infront of it was a seventy two-inch flat screen TV. In the front there is a king-sized-bed that looks like a very nice bedroom.

He looked around the large room and noticed that there were two more doors in that room, so he hurried to it. When he opened a door he already knew it was a bathroom but he didn't bother to examine what was inside, all he knew was that it was spacious. Next he went to another door, he must have realized that it was a walk-in-closet.

There he went in and looked for a drawer, hoping he could find a document. But he saw nothing, so he came out of the walk-in-closet and went to a drawer near the big bed.

But unfortunately that is locked. He scratched his cheek so hard before disgustedly lying on the bed. He just stared at the ceiling while thinking of another way but he did not realize that he had fallen asleep.
