Chapter 218 - Because Of Me, They Killed The Woman You Loved

For some reason, imagining Mischa's sexy body without his shirt on and showing the dragon tattoo, made Vega's cheeks flush red. She turned her attention to the video on the tablet she was holding.

"I can make the handsome uncle come to us," said Vega the teenager suddenly with a sly smile. It was clear from her mischievous face that she wanted to scheme Mischa. Vega, the adult woman, frowned, seeing her teenage self could look this mischievous. Gosh ...

What was I going to do? she asked herself.

"Do you want to make him come to us?" asked Tatiana in amazement. "How?"

"You will see .." said Vega. She wiped the mischievous smile from her face then put on a serious expression. "If I fell unconscious on the groud, don't help me. You guys just pretend to be busy."

"Eh ..? What do you mean?" asked Sharon, confused.

Vega didn't answer. She had walked hastily towards Mischa but purposely pretend as if she didn't see the young man. Suddenly her steps halted and she staggered.

A moment later, Vega fell to the ground and lay unconscious. Before Tatiana and her friends had time to realize what had happened, Mischa had already dashed from his place and a few seconds later was carrying Vega in his arms.

The look on the man's face was anxious. 

"Gosh ... what is Vega doing ???" asked Tatiana and her friends worriedly.

At first, they wanted to help Vega but before they could do anything, they saw the handsome uncle, whom they had seen earlier, was already helping Vega and was now carrying her away. 

"Uhm ... we'd better call Altair," said Tatiana finally. Mischa had disappeared with Vega and they couldn't find him. Tatiana then turned to the camera and shook her head. "Vega is too much."

Then they burst into laughter.

Vega, the adult woman, pursed her lips and turned to Altair with a very embarrassed face.

"Did I really trick Mischa? Do you know about that?"

Altair just laughed out loud. "Yes, you did. You pretended to faint so he could come and carry you. Then you threatened him, saying you would report what happened to Father if he didn't carry you back to the hotel. You're just too much."

"Jeez ... oh my God ..." Vega threw the tablet into the sand. Her two hands covered her face in unbearable embarrassment. She didn't know his past behavior was so aggressive. Jeez ... "Has Mischa seen the video too?"

Altair nodded. "We've all seen it. That is the last video we have of you. Mother and Father can't be angry at you. We were all very sad when we saw this video because a few days after the video was taken, you went missing."

Vega was stunned. She glanced at Mischa, who was sitting leisurely and chatting with her father. Ah .. she now knew that Mischa had always been taking care of her.

"Can you tell me what happened after that?" she asked Altair. "I wonder how I disappeared."

"Hmm ... of course." Altair held Vega's hand and squeezed it gently. "But don't be stressed to hear it. It's all in the past. Now you are back with us, and we will try our best so that you can recover your memories."

Vega nodded. She looked at Altair attentively and tried to listen to every word that came out of her brother's lips.

"After we learned that Daddy Nic was reunited with Auntie Marie and Summer, we were asked to return to Grosseto to meet them after the study trip to Paris. You asked Mischa to have dinner alone with you at the Eiffel Tower. At that time, it seemed like you had a crush on him ..."

Vega's face blushed even more when she heard her brother's words. "Ouch ..."

Altair just laughed at his sister's reaction. "It's okay. That's puppy love. Now you're an adult and already married to another man. I don't think Mischa will feel bothered by it."

"Hmm ..." Vega tried not to glance at Mischa, who was chatting with her father. She could understand why she liked her foster brother in the past. Mischa was very kind and warm. Besides, he was also extremely handsome. "Then, what happen?"

"Mischa can't come to see you at the restaurant. It turned out that Lisa, his ex-girlfriend, was kidnapped by people who were targeting you. They forced him to come to Provins and save her. It was another city two hours away from Paris. They sent him pictures of Lisa in their custody ..."

Vega pursed her lips and let out a muffled cry. "And.. then? Did he manage to save Lisa?"

Altair shook his head sadly. "No. He came to Provins, and they forced him to witness Lisa being brutally murdered before his eyes. After that, they shot him and left him almost dead. Daddy Nic and Auntie Marion saved him after looking for him all day. Meanwhile, the perpetrators managed to kill the three bodyguards assigned by our father to protect us and then kidnapped you. After that, we never saw you again ... for many years."

Vega buried her face in her hands and burst into tears. She didn't know the kidnapping had happened so horribly. Those people were so evil...

They killed her three bodyguards, tortured Mischa, and killed Lisa in cold blood.

All for kidnapping her.

Vega sobbed for a few moments. Altair understood that all this information must have greatly shocked and hurt his sister. He pulled Vega's head into his arms and stroked her hair affectionately.

They sat like that for a while, and no one said anything.

"I ... I have to apologize," whispered Vega after she pulled herself together. She raised her tear-stained face and wiped her eyes. Her crying didn't stop, even though she tried to hold it.

Vega broke free from Altaïr's embrace and then rose to her feet. Her twin only watched Vega walk away with heavy steps towards the villa.

He could guess what Vega was going to do.

With tears streaming down her face, Vega walked across the garden and headed for the swimming pool. Her steps were slow but filled with determination. The beautiful girl walked over to Mischa and her father, who were sitting together.

"Mischa ..."

Her low voice made the two men look up and turn to her.

"What's the matter, Vega?" asked Mischa with a smile. Ah, he was delighted to be able to call Fae again by her real name.

He was very surprised when suddenly Vega rushed to him and hugged him.

"I'm sorry ... I'm so sorry. Because of me, they killed the woman you loved..." Vega sobbed. "If it weren't for me ... maybe now you and her are living happily together."

She remembered Mischa's dreamy gaze when he was cooking in the penthouse for Vega. When she asked where he learned to cook, Mischa's face looked very sad. He told a little about his girlfriend, who had died.

At that time, Vega thought how much Mischa must have loved his girlfriend so deeply that after her death, the man still chose to be alone for years.

Today ... Vega just realized that she was the cause of the woman's death.. She felt horrible for what they had done to Mischa.
