Chapter 13: What If I Turn Out To Be Something Scary..? 1

''What if this girl is not ordinary? I mean, for the past five years you have searched for any clues about her but nothing came out. There is absolutely nothing on her, not even on the internet database''.

''What are you trying to say?'' Aaron Saint asked.

''Take for instance the way she held your neck. Man, she was sleeping but that grip almost killed you. I don't have a good feeling about her. I feel that there is something dangerous about that girl that we don't know about" Dr. Kash said.

"Kash, I know. The day I decided to take Maijune in I braced myself for any expectancies. I am ready for any development and I am going to protect her no matter what happens''.

''Okay. I talked to her about Professor Jim and she agreed to meet with him. We will know more about what to expect when his diagnosis comes out''.

Aaron Saint leaned on the chair in deep thoughts.

Next day.

Eden Estates, Saint Villa.

Aaron Saint and August Maijune changed into their slippers and entered the hall.

Aunt Cate had just finished cleaning the mess August Maijune made the night before and was preparing some congee and base soup made of clams which is known to be good for the body. She turned at the sound of the door and saw the two entering and spoke.

''First young master, young miss, you are back.''

August Maijune went to hug the woman and spoke.

''I missed you Aunt Cate, and thanks for cleaning the mess I made''.

''I almost thought I was in the wrong house when I came in this morning and young master told me what happened over the phone. You, don't you scare aunt like that again. Do you know how worried I was?'' the middle aged woman. said and patted August Maijune's back.

''I'm sorry''. August Maijune apologized and stood next to Aaron Saint.

''I will be in my room. I need to rest'' Aaron Saint said and walked upstairs.

August Maijune turned and watched Aaron Saint as he went to his room. She turned to Aunt Cate and asked ''what are you preparing? The aroma is so good''.

''I went to the fish market and bought some clams to make base soup for you. Is almost done, I will serve it to you soon. Make sure you drink it all while is hot''. Aunt Cate told August Maijune.

''Yes, aunt Cate. Aunt, what did you make for Saint? He didn't eat anything the whole day while I was admitted''

''I bought some fish to make his favourite fish pancakes''.

''Can you teach me how to do it another day?'' August Maijune asked and blushed.

Aunt Cate looked at the girl amusingly.

''You want to learn how to cook the young master's favourite meals?''

''Yes. You, in case you don't come one day or took a day off?''

''Okay, I will buy ingredients and teach you tomorrow''

''Not tomorrow. The day after. I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow''

''Okay. Go and wash up, by the time you are done, the food will be ready''.

''Alright''.

Aunt cate returned to her work and August Maijune went upstairs. She stopped at Aaron's door and looked at it before going to her room.

BALCONY.

Josh Saint walked to balcony with a glass of wine and a brown envelope. He sipped the wine and put the glass on the wall and opened the envelope revealing a stack of pictures of Aaron Saint and August Maijune.

Josh Saint smiled and murmured ''looks like you found yourself a new pet Aaron Saint''.

Josh Saint looked at the pictures again with shock on his face ''August Maijune…? What the fuck is this?'' he subconsciously threw the pictures away as if scalded by them before calming himself down.

Josh Saint sat on the chair in the balcony and spread all the pictures on the table to check. He looked at the pictures of August Maijune with a complicated feelings.

''How is she still alive? I thought she was dead? She was supposed to die. Why is someone who was supposed to be dead alive and even with Aaron Saint, the man she was supposed to kill?"

Josh Saint removed his phone from his pocket and made a call. He spoke impatiently as soon as the person on other side answered.

''Didn't you assure me that she was dead? August Maijune is alive''

''What do you mean she is alive? Her uncle assured me she was dead five years ago''. the voice from the other side said.

''She is fucking alive and well and guess who she is with? My cousin, August Maijune is with Aaron Saint. I will send the pictures to you right now. I need you to confirm from her uncle for me. And I hope you know what it means for her to be alive?'' Josh Saint screamed into the phone impatiently.

''Relax, Josh Saint. I will investigate and get back to you''.

''Well, hurry because I can't seem to relax now that I know that dangerous girl is alive''.

Josh Saint hung up and threw the phone away and it broke to pieces.

Liyah Myers saw the whole situation from the hall but pretended to not be aware as she walked to the balcony to Josh Saint and spoke.

''Josh, is everything alright?' Josh Saint looked at her surprised to see her there but said.

''Yes, just business and they're driving me crazy'' Josh Saint said and ran his fingers through his hair.

''Come with me, I will give you a massage'' Liyah Myers said seductively.

''Thanks babe'' Josh Saint smiled and hit her ass playfully making her jump.

Josh Saint followed Liyah Myers as she led the way to their bedroom.

CODED LOCATION.

LORCA'S VILLA.

HALL.

Lorca Don Marco looked at the pictures on the table in front of him and fumed in anger. He held the man kneeling before him by the collar and spoke.

''If you had just done your job well five years ago, all this won't have happened. How in the world did she meet someone like Aaron Saint? Do you have any idea what that means for me? Aaron Saint owns this city. Now, I have to go up against him in order to get that bitch back. I told you to kill her as soon''.

''I'm sorry, boss. If you give me another chance…. I will finish her off this time''

''Ahaahahahah, you will what? Finish her off? I need her alive and you want to finish her off? How about I finish you off then? You are useless to me now. Send him away''.

The man struggled as the guard took him away. Lorca banged his fist against his throne and roared.

''August Maijune, you are driving me crazy till the end? I will finish you off myself this time around you cockroach''.

EDEN ESTATES

SAINT VILLA.

AUGUST'S ROOM.

August opened her eyes suddenly and realised she was in her bed and a heaved a relief. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and got down from the bed.

August went into the washroom. She turned on the sink and splashed some water on her face. She wiped her face with a towel and turned to go and heard a voice behind her.

''Is been a while August…don't you miss me? I missed you''.

August turned and saw a girl starring at her through the mirror. It was the same girl she saw once when she was at the hospital.

The girl really did resemble her.

August turned behind her and saw no one and the girl laughed and said.

''Stop looking already. You won't find me next to you. Why? Because I am you. We are the same person''.

August looked into the mirror at the girl and spoke.

''You and I are not the same person. I don't know who you are but you have to stop playing these games with me''.

''Then let me out'' The girl roared.

''I am tired of hiding behind you. How long has it been? You are just a weakly who can't even take proper care of yourself. I almost died because of you. Did you really have to lay in that stupid hospital for five years? To think I almost died of anger because of you''.

August couldn't believe anything the girl said. She was confused and had no idea who the girl really was. The girl gave her the chills and August felt creeps listening to the girl's words.

''Who are you? What do you want from me?''

The girl gave August an eerie smile as she spoke.

''Are you curious? About who I am? I am you''

''No, you are not me, you can't be me''

''Really? Well, you're right about that one. I am not exactly you because you are just a weakly, a coward who can't do anything for yourself. I am Maijune and you are August and together we are August Maijune''.
