Chapter 122 - Chasing Part 1

Andromeda exhales as she stayed outside the old house where her mother stayed for years. She won't know about the house that's why she never visit it. Only her father and mother lived there when they were young. Well, it's time for them to see each other. So, she waited outside inside her car where her bodyguards are.

Fiona shuddered. Although she wanted to hug him, kiss him and hold him tightly, it still breaks her heart that it takes time for him to realize that she wasn't the woman he thought that his wife.

"Fiona, my love."

"No." She pushed him and was about to run away but Aaron is fast and strong that he hold her again and turn her around to him. She made sure that her half-face is covered.

"Fiona, what happened?" He was suddenly afraid. Fiona is worried that he might step back and when he sees her hideous face.

"Aaron, stop." She tried to push him again. "Just leave me, okay? You are satisfied with your wife." Her voice is dangerous and hurtful.

"You are my wife." He scooped her right cheek and then slowly uncover her face. She tried to stop him but he had touched her burn and his hand started shaking, his eyes are murderous. He angrily turned on the lights and unwrapped her burns.

Tears started streaming down her cheek. He wiped it gently and he touched her burns. Half of her is distorted because of the burn and her neck down her chest. He ripped her sleeve and his heart is breaking slowly. This is too much. The suffering of being burnt like this is torture.

"My wife," Tears started running down her cheek. Mixed with anger and pain. He scooped her face and kissed her forehead. "I will torture them. I swear." He hugged her.

She just breakdown and started sobbing and crying hard.

"I tried to contact you many times, but you ignore it!" She screamed at him. "How could you know that she isn't me!" she started punching his chest.

"Forgive me… forgive me, my wife."

Fiona or fake Fiona real name Shalane was curious about how Aaron and Fiona interact. Do they have sex with someone else's while they are married? Do they attend orgy and participated?

She looked at the latest Louise Vuitton shoes and bag. Well, maybe Aaron is just an understanding man after her relationship with him before she married Fiona. She didn't even know that Aaron might be also sleeping with someone else. Anyway, she entered the mansion and greeted her father in law— Elder General Mondragon.

The General nodded and sipped on his tea. She went upstairs and Alexandro Mondragon watched Shalane slash fake Fiona went upstairs. He sipped on his tea and check the message from his people. Aaron started searching about real life.

He did notice a few things about Fiona back then and he started searching on what happened. But he didn't even know where the real Fiona was. He searched deeper and ignore the fake Fiona for three years until he learned where Aaron's real wife is.

When he heard that Aaron found her, he called his people to increase security and a lookout to the fake Fiona.

***

Shalane is pacing back and forth and called her secret lover. Aaron caught them and he even gives money to her man thinking that he's a gigolo. She took a shower and looked at herself in the mirror. She has a sexier body than the real Fiona and she's more beautiful despite having the same face.

She smiled and she will make love to him tonight. She put a little perfume and wear her sluttiest outfit. She texted him but he didn't answer so she called him and he's not answering. She started reading and just wait for him but it's taking so long.

She glanced at the clock and didn't notice that it's already a quarter to twelve. She exhales and called him but he's not answering.

"Fuck!" She threw her phone and put her robe and went downstairs to the bar to get something to drink.

Aaron looked at his wife. From her cheek to her chest to her left arm. She looked away from him and avoid his touched, but he insisted.

"Talk now." He demanded. "Who did this to you?"

"The wife you have whom you slept within our bed." She said.

"Fiona." He said softly. "Tell me. Please."

"Your ex-girlfriend. Shalane." She told. "I wanted to hug our children so much all these years. But I couldn't even get closer. The only close I got is 3 meters. But because of that woman, my life and my family is ruined. I couldn't even cook for my children during their birthdays and holidays. I couldn't hug them and kiss them." She broke her voice and tears started streaming down her face. "You brushed me off many times when I am trying to reach you out. In the café that we always visit and in the restaurant. You never looked at me."

Aaron was dumb and he did saw a woman covering her whole face looking at him. He thought that he recognized her. He thought that it looks like his wife, but his wife is beside him.

"Forgive me, my love." He took her hand and kissed it. He kissed the burns on the back of her hand.

There's a knock on the door and Andromeda entered. She looked around and smiled at their family photos. Her baby photos and James's baby photos. Andy already called James to be here so, she strode to them.

"You knew?" Aaron asked.

"Andy, saw me. She recognized me." Fiona said as she wiped her tears.

"Andromeda," Aaron called her waiting for her to explain.

"When I saw the fake mom having an affair, I started becoming suspicious. Then, I saw her… my real mother. Cause you know, my real mother wouldn't stick to Kathleen over her real daughter. My real mother wouldn't destroy me. She would protect me and love me and would care so much about me."

Aaron is guilty of not finding it out sooner.

"Let's stay here." Aaron held Fiona's hand.

"Okay." Andy put down the grocery that she already prepared. "My husband is worried." She left them to give them privacy.

"What do you want to eat?" Aaron took the bag and went to the kitchen. He moved a few furniture so he could see her since the living room is closed to the kitchen. It's a small house and he can see her.

Fiona looked at her husband and then her burned skin. She felt so conscious of herself. She was beautiful and Aaron loved her, telling her that she's beautiful every day. She thought that he only love her because she's beautiful and perfect physically.

He cooked within twenty minutes and she sat there and watched him from the divider. She wanted to do it by herself but he's already cooking. She looked away and covered her burns. She exhales and keeps glancing at him. Aaron was glancing back as he settled the table.

He strode to her and carried her like he used to. It startled her and she felt a little uncomfortable since they haven't been together for a long time. He served her well. She looked at the food. They were quiet for a little while, then Aaron gently removed her scarf.

"Don't." She tried to reach her scarf to stop him.

"Fiona, I don't care how you looked. But I care about your sufferings. I won't let them off easily." He reached her burnt face. "My love for you remains. Please forgive me, my love."

"I--I…" Fiona stutters. She was sure of his love. She held his hand on her face. "I never stop loving you, Ron."

He fed her first, he washed the dishes and he cleaned up although she said that she will do it herself. He didn't let her. After all of it, Aaron carried her to their bedroom. He prepared her bath and he's initiating for them to bath together but she rejected him. She can't and she's not ready.

Aaron used the bathroom downstairs and since he still got his old clothes that she kept and they still smelled fresh. She said that she wash it every month so it wouldn't smell bad. However, he didn't bother dressing up and just lay beside her.

She turned to her left and let him hugged her. He kisses her flawless right arm and then her cheek and ear.

"I love you, my wife." He murmured.

"And I always love you." She turned to him and he caressed her hair. He kissed her left cheek and then her nose and to her mouth.

The night is cold. The moon is bright and it's serene. He made love to her for a very long time of being apart.
