Chapter 172 - 172. A Mysterious Man

And no matter how hard Elise acted or covered up the secret, the more it came to the surface. In the end, Rena found all the secrets, including the thing that Elise wanted to hide from everyone, about the terrible incident.

Thinking of how that attitude made Elise frown in displeasure. She now realizes that she used to be very selfish and selfish. Without ever appreciating the attention and affection that Elena always gave her.

If Elise remember clearly from childhood until now, Elena has always given in and gave Elise what she wanted. Even back then when the orlando family wanted to adopt Elena. At that time Elise cried sadly and was hurt because she was not the one chosen by the family, because in the past Elise wanted to have adoptive parents. Elena relents and switches positions with Elise so she can grant Elise's wish and make her sister happy. Even though Elise herself knows that Elena also wants adoptive parents and lives outside the orphanage.

But they never thought that diego could tell the two apart and dismantle their plans. Until finally Elena was still adopted by the Orlando family and became Diego's adopted sister.

Elise tightened her grip on Elena's hand.

"I remember always you were the one who gave in. It's always you who gave me everything. And I never did or gave you anything."

"So, this time let me give up. And give you happiness."

"Elise," Elena's eyes were already teary and a second later tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Elise stretched out her hand and wiped the tears on Elena's cheeks.

"I'm going to divorce Brian. And I'm not against your relationship. You can marry him. And I'll never mind."

"Regarding it .... I need time to think about it."

"Is it because of me?" Elise asked a little worried.

"Yes, I don't want to hurt your feelings if Brian and I got married after a few days of you divorcing. Besides, I ... I'm not sure I can stand side by side with him. He's a man of great status and wealth. A man who is the spotlight and dreams of all girls. single."

"Yes, at least let Brian hold the title Widower. But Elena, you have to decide quickly. Apart from Dean's sake, it's for you too. Like you said, Brian is the man who is the target of all the women out there. So, don't let Brian get caught up in it. by another woman. You understand. "

"Yes, elise." Elena replied. The woman's eyes now saw the baby sister pushing the stroller towards them. And Elena stood up at once. She was sure Elise had finished talking seriously with her. And Elena also can't wait to carry Dean. Without waiting anymore, Elena walked quickly to the stroller and stood in front of it. Elena's eyes fell and saw Dean lying on the stroller.

The handsome baby is now very fat and adorable. Makes Elena impatient to wait even if it's only for a second to carry him. And Elena did just that right away. She carried Dean tightly in front of her chest.

"Mommy really missed you." Elena's eyes never left Dean's face. She lowered her head and kissed Dean's forehead. Not satisfied with that, Elena kissed Dean again. On the cheek, on the forehead, on the eyelids, on the chin, almost all Dean's face was kissed by Elena. The young woman missed her son terribly. After being satisfied kissing Dean's face. Elena arranges Dean who is now three months old. The baby stared intently at Elena's face then a smile appeared on his face.

"He smiled at you." Said Elise was enthusiastic who had been standing beside Elena for some time and was watching the reaction of Dean who was in Elena's arms.

Elena smiled, "Yes, Honey. This is Mommy." Said Elena telling Dean who she was. Elena don't know whether Dean will understand or recognize her, but she wants to tell and explain her identity to the fat baby.

Dean is a smart handsome baby. he seemed to understand what Elena was saying and started to open his lips.

"Aa ... Maaa ... Uuaaa .."

Amazed! Elena turned to the side and stared at Elise's big eyes. Dean recognized Elena. Suddenly the twins smiled and looked at Dean's reaction again.

"Mommy's son is good at talking, huh?" Said Elena again to talk to Dean.

"Yes, he can already babble and sometimes scream angrily if we are late giving him milk." Elise commented that her index finger touched and poked Dean's cheek lightly. Teasing that handsome baby.

"Aaa ... Uuu .. Aeee ... Maaa ..." As if he understood what the twins were saying, Dean began to chatter again. Suddenly the two women laughed together.

Without realizing it Brian stood leaning against the door and staring at them from a distance. Brian had previously been anxious about the relationship between Elise and Elena. Brian was afraid they would hate each other because of him. Plus Brian was also curious about what the two of them were talking about until he showed a serious face and various other expressions. But now Brian can feel relieved, that the twins are getting close again and can laugh together. Seeing the smiles on their faces made Brian smile too.

Brian stood there for a long time, he was enjoying the beautiful scenery that lay before him. Without wanting to get close, he was afraid that coming would create an awkward atmosphere and cause them to be mutually silent and cold with each other.

His cell phone ring tone made Brian look away and look at his cell phone screen.

David's name is on it. David is one of the police officers who are investigating the Rena accident case.

"Hello," replied Brian who turned around and entered the mension .

"Hello, we have been investigating the death case of Mrs. Rena. It is true as Mrs. Elise said. The perpetrator's car was moving fast and controlled. That reinforces the notion that this is not an ordinary hit and run accident. This case will be a case of premeditated murder. The person behind the driver. indeed aiming to kill your wife. "

"Have you guys got the identity of the perpetrator?"

"Not yet sir. We have checked the CCTV around the scene. But unfortunately there is not a single footage that shows the person behind the wheel. Erik managed to get the license plate of the car. But when the car's whereabouts were found. The car was already in the scene. a collection of junk. And in a state that has been destroyed so that it can be recycled again. "

"So, you still haven't found the identity of the perpetrator."

"Yes, we suggest that Mrs. Elise always stay at home. Because there is a possibility that the perpetrator will plan another crime."

"Yes, I'll make sure she doesn't go anywhere in the meantime."

"Good. For now we will continue to investigate and look for other evidence. I will call back if we find out the very identity of the perpetrator."

"Yes, thanks for your hard work."

"No, it is an honor for us to be able to help Mr and Mrs Fernandez." After that David turned off the call. Brian looked forward, he could see Elena and Elise through the glass.

Brian doesn't know who the person trying to harm Elise is. But one thing is for sure he won't let that guy do it. And Brian swore he would torture that man for the death of his mother.

.....

On the other hand, in a slum house that is neglected. With messy items all over the place. A man with a scar on the right side of his forehead is sitting on a weathered sofa that is dusty and dirty. With a bottle of liquor in his left hand. And a photo in his right hand.

Photo of a beautiful woman smiling at the camera. That woman is elise.

"You're lucky you got away from me." The man's hoarse voice sounded terrible. He is the same person who drove the black van that hit Rena and killed the middle-aged woman.

"But I'm sure you won't get through a second time." A terrible grin crossed his face.

The man was sure that the police were looking for his current whereabouts. And they might suspect the accident case as a murder case. So, Brian definitely won't let Elise go. That woman will always be in the mansion. And Brian will keep her safe.

But the man already had his own plans. This time he won't wait anymore. This time he will come to Elise and kill the woman. That way Brian will feel what he feels. Losing loved ones who mean the most in his life.

The man took a sip of his drink and laughed. At least she should celebrate the passing of Brian's mother. That way the sadness and hurt Brian gave the field a little less.

The man looked up and stared at the picture frame on the wall. A family photo with a smile on everyone's face. It is a family photo of the man with his wife and son. But now he is the only one who lives in the house. The gaze of the man was filled with embers of revenge. he will get back at Brian twice as much he feel.
