Heart Darkness
Chapter 166 Start from The Beginning...

"Pequeenas?!"

Elleanor Mendeleya screamed happily when she found Queena in the living room of her home.

"Ellen ... ?!"

The two spread their hands and hugged each other. Long time no see because Elleanor spent her time in Switzerland, in Webster Geneva, which is the epicenter of international affairs while Quuena was busy with medical school, meeting mates really bring brightness in the hearts of both.

"How I miss you, My Dear Queen!" Elleanor. "Oh, I haven't heard from you in a while. Where the hell have you been? What are you doing?"

Queena shrugged her shoulders. His family doesn't know that he was kidnapped, desecrated and pregnant with even his uncle, whose mayor may not have known. Or he knows but is unable to act. Especially if the decision involves Rosana's mother.

Jeremy smiled happily watching the princess and her beaming patter inversely proportional to Mrs Rosana, the wife of Mr. Mayor. As the name suggests, the woman is beautiful like a rose that blooms gracefully. He saw Jeremy Mendeleya tucked into a disappointed mimicry. Similarly, in the behavior of Elleanor who is exactly a 15-year-old teenager meeting old friends, forget all the elegance and manners.

"Take Queena to Ellen's room! Queena will stay here for a while."

"Of course, Dad. Bye Mam's. Oh, this is a really nice surprise. You remember the last time we slept together? We're 16 years old and we love the introverted Jason Cassano and he's been a great surgeon. Ei ei, I hope we can do a lot of both things. Tell me about you Pequeena Mendeleya! Do you have a lover?"

Elleanor's voice was noisy as she pushed Queena away to the room. Despite being away, both Jeremy and Rosana still hear the girl's cheer.

"Darling, what are you doing? We can't deal with Viktor Mendeleya or his family right now. You know that you keep being highlighted and your movements monitored."

"Rosana, I can't let Queena wander out there alone. He lost his parents."

"Well, you don't have to bring that girl here! We're going to accept Mrs Rocco Anthony as our boss, how would she react to seeing Piqueena? Her husband was killed by Viktor Mendeleya!"

"Has the man in this town been depleted? Wouldn't by accepting Axel Anthony as a son-in-law in this house, we'd be involved with the mafia? You forgot Rocco Anthony was a mafia."

"Former Mafia," roared Rosana. "Axel Anthony is not a Mafia and has never been a mobster. The company is the number one steel company in this part of the country and both Axel and Rocco have helped your government a lot. Thanks to Rocco working with you, you can subdue many gangster chiefs and mafia elders including your brother. Many underground crime cases are exposed."

"Rosana .. " complained Jeremy. Although Viktor was a criminal, but the man was his brother. Thanks to Viktor, he became mayor although he eventually had to pay a heavy price by struggling to prove that he did not deal with the Mafia, with his brother though.

"Axel will propose to Elleanor in two days. Find the right place for Queena. You can't let that girl in here, Jeremy!"

While Rosana influences Jeremy Mendeleya, Queena and Elleanor in the room chatting a lot of things.

"Are you this stupid?" queena smiled, sitting by the bed.

"No, I'm so happy to see you. You know that Adelaide is busy in college, I have to keep learning a lot of International Relationships, diplomacy, politics, business and a lot of other things until my brain is overcrowded" Elleanor complained.

"I got it" said Queena. Having a superior mother like Mrs Rosana, Queena believes Elleanor should work optimally. Unlike the simple Brigitta.

"Are you still interning at the same hospital as Jason?"

"No, I'm unemployed" said Queena, thinking of Anna's offer to work at the clinic with Anna.

"You'll stay when I'm posted?"

"Applied?!" Queena smiled happily. There was at least some happy news from his cousin. "I wonder, who's the lucky guy to marry my cousin's sister?"

"You didn't hear the news? Even the rumors I proposed have circulated widely."

"I've been busy dealing with my messy life ever since my dad, Ellen. I don't read the news."

My life is very chaotic and I don't know when all this will end.

"I am so sorry my Dear. You know I really like Uncle Viktor. My God, is there no news at all? Where's Uncle Viktor and Ms Brigitta?"

Queena shook her head sadly then smiled pretending to be cheerful, not wanting to dissolve in sadness.

"Well, Elleanor Mendeleya, so who's the lucky guy? Rosana's mother's taste is very high. I'm sure he's not just any guy."

"Of course .., that guy Axel Anthony." Elleanor talked about Axel with a red face.

"Which Axel Anthony?"

"Do we have a lot of Axel Anthony?" ellen asked astonished at Queena's reaction.

"Yes .. there are some Axel Anthony," said Queena really hope there are many Axel Anthony, not Axel Anthony his. Realizing Axel who is meant by his lover, Queena's heart feels squeezed to dry.

"There's only one Axel Anthony. I've never heard of any Axel other than Axel Anthony from the Anthony Steel Group. You know he's got a lot of corporations in China and Thailand."

Queena nodded. "Yes, I know," he murmured sadly. He knew well because when the man was busy working with his laptop and meeting with the head of the Anthony branch, Queena sometimes waited for him. "He's a great man."

It's great to have ruined her life without rest and great because Queena loves Axel Anthony without knowing how to end her love.

"Yes" said Elleanor, looking at the look of Queena. "Why are you sad?" ask Elleanor.

Queena can't cover up the shock on her face.

"That's because you're going to marry Ellen. We may not see each other often."

Not entirely a lie. Maybe I won't meet. Will he be able to see Axel with Elleanor? Will he not be torn apart later?

"Oh my God, it won't be possible" Elleanor embraced Queena. "Please don't separate from me, bad enough not to know how you've been doing all this time."

"Have you met him?"

"Yes. He was very polite and rarely spoke but I liked men like that. They're very mysterious."

Queena nodded in agreement. The man's eyes were one of Axel's most mysterious. There were not many words he could say but those eyes were very beautiful, which left Queena helpless. If you do not want to melt on Axel then Queena should avoid Axel's eyes are cold but very vibrate his heart.

"Axel Anthony never had a woman, according to his mother, he was very shy" explained Elleanor. "Akkhh glad you're Queena. I never spilled my heart because I was forbidden to reveal my heart."

We have a baby. Thanks to her mother, I lost my baby. Queena bit her nails. His chest was inexhaustible pain.

"Do you want to rest?" elleanor asked when she saw Queena floating.

"Yes, I think I'm exhausted today," said Queena breathing heavily did not mean to drive away Elleanor who was very enthusiastic about her.

"Even though you're tired, I wonder, who's your lover?" tanya Elleanora teases Queena by poking Queena on the shoulder.

"Complicated ...."

"Complicated?!"

"Yes" nodded Queena. Can't say Axel Anthony is his girlfriend. Although Queena ran away from the man, Axel was still her lover. No, it's all over for them, Queena must move on. Can't keep stuck on Axel. "I can't tell you about her, it's just that she's also very quiet, rarely speaking like your boyfriend."

"really?! Oh we judge introverts. Jason Cassano. I'm so curious about Queena to your lover."

"Forget over! So, when is Mr Axel Anthony going to propose to you Miss Elleanor?" ask Queena quietly.

"Two days left."

"All right, good luck to Ellen."

Elleanor nodded. "You know Daddy always adores your cooking, I think we'll prove what he says tonight. I love you."

Elleanor hugged Queena about to leave the room.

"My Dear Queena, please cook something special for dinner tonight! I'll go shopping with Mom for a proposal. I don't think we're gonna eat out."

"Okay Ellen, see you later!"

Queena was left alone, dying day after day by the wounds in her heart. If only he had medicine to stop the pain in his heart. He hugged his knees tightly, lay on his stomach there and held the wound. Well, this is so crazy. He lost everything. Father, Mother, Beloved, Baby, now Elanor .., and she lost her mind.

Hurriedly rubbed his moist eyes as a knock rang out at the door.

"Queen, are you sleeping, son?" Mother Rosana's Voice. Queena checked her face in the mirror before coming closer to the door. Or let it look sad, is not it very mishap.

"Mother Rosana?"

"Can we talk?" Rosana stood in front of her bedroom with an unwell gesture disturbing Queena.

Queena nodded, "Yes, of course."

"I am so sorry Dear for all the bad things you've been through" Rosana said after closing the door. "But you know that your uncle's position is not good at the moment. How his political opponents are watching Jeremy and making himself moons."

"Yes, I get it. I can't apologize to Uncle and to you, Mother Rosana, for any of my father's troublesome involvement with Uncle Jeremy."

"Let's not talk about that" said Rosana. "Queena's going to be in two days, even if I want you to accompany Elleanor but ...."

"I understand Rosana's mother."

Rosana nodded in love with Queena's calm and sedate manner. Also the courtesy and steadfastness of the girl. But she could not sacrifice her husband's reputation and the success of Elleanor's proposal. Mrs Rocco Anthony hated Viktor Mendeleya, openly and openly speaking at the start of their meeting.

"I have prepared a place for you to rest."

"No need for Rosana's mother" quipped Queena. "You don't have to bother. I'll go tomorrow, Mother. There's a clinic in a remote area, they need medics and it doesn't matter who I am. I'll be there tomorrow by morning bus. You don't worry. Forgive me, make you restless," said Queena. Without his father and mother he's like a chick without a mother. Run around here.

Huufzttt ...

"Trims Dear, you understand the problem well."

He will take away his father's sins at this time. Queena grabs the phone and sends a message to Anna Marylin after Rosana leaves. He will work in the clinic. No objection to any requirements from Anna. Is it not time for him to rise. Finally he went there, his father's world covered for 24 years. According to Anna's review, she would perform minor surgery, sew up the wounds of the bagundals or remove the projectiles from their bodies. Things related to gunshot wounds, sabetage, stabbing. If it is severe, they will be taken to the clinic. She will probably be working at gunpoint and despite being very risky, Queena thinks she will forget about Axel.

The thought of Queena fell asleep. Hugging the bolster she hopes to hug her baby. Maybe this is what God meant by taking the baby. If the baby continues to live, the baby will only live in suffering. Queena can survive, as bad as any condition, but not sure when she is with the baby. Maybe it will be very fragile. Especially when pregnant, he is very dependent on Axel. Just wanted to see that guy

Waking up in the afternoon, he went down to the kitchen and started cooking. Doctors often recommend healthy foods to their patients but many of them do not take care of food even some of them love ready meals. Queena is good at cooking because, her mother teaches many things and she is very independent when living away from Mom.

He was slicing mushrooms when Elleanor slipped into the kitchen and hugged him with a happy face.

"What are you cooking, Queena?"

"Ellen?! You surprised me!"

"What are you going to cook?"

"Not much, beef burguignon, Foie gras. These slices of mushroom, lardon, garlic for coq au vin. Uncle really likes that food."

Axel also really likes Coq Au Vin. Remembered. Replaced immediately. He could not live with the shadow of the man hugging him.

"Increatibles. I'll be right back, Queena!"

"Bye Ellen," said Queena busy with slices of beef and red wine. He likes to wake up and cook something for breakfast. Love the morning when Axel comes down the stairs and he kisses the man, expressing deep love. Queena let out a heavy sigh remove the blade carefully. He would slice the meat again when he had concentration.

The assistant took out a goose's heart for him to make a foei gras. His eyes, he saw his own heart. Time quickly passed, when Elleanor was carrying groceries followed by the bodyguards, Queena was arranging the dining room.

"Queena, I got a surprise." Elleanor gave a small shriek, driving away the bodyguards immediately disappearing with the groceries and rearranging her makeup. "He's here ...."

"Who?!" queena asked to observe Elleanor and Queena's feelings were unrelenting. Is that Axel?

"Axel Anthony" Elleanora said almost without a sound. Her face blushed red between nervousness and sumringah, like a girl who was generally in love.

Queena is speechless and badly the man shows up in the dining room with Rosana's mother without Uncle Jeremy. Queena can't run. Axel Anthony looked unsurprised and those eyes did not blink looking at him as if they had expected their meeting. Axel's face stiffened as he looked at her.

Queena arranged the food quietly. Feel the pain in the recesses, and realize that Rosana's mother sent a code to get out of there. Moving naturally, Queena returned to the kitchen. He asked the assistants to arrange the food to the dining table and release the afron. He quietly went to the back garden, breathing as much air as he could.

A call from Anna Marilyn.

"Yes." Yeah."

"alright. Where are you?"

"My uncle's house."

"Mayor?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Queena, Axel Anthony will marry Elleanor Mendeleya."

"I know she's here" said Queena, not wanting to be grim.

"Are you okay? You know that stress - induced cardiomyopathy (broken heart) from a breakup can cause death?" anna asked next to sound concerned.

"Yes, I've had angina (chest pain) all day since I heard that man was going to propose to my cousin."

"Do you feel short of breath?"

"Don't overdo Anna!"

"You've been experiencing intense emotional states lately, Queena. How about you get out of there for a second and we hang out at a cafe near Park Center?"

"All right!"

There's nothing he can do anyway. But how can you sneak around in secret?

"Miss Queena, you were called inside by Madam."

Queena looked up from her seat bench at the household assistant in uniform similar to the female bodyguard.

"What's wrong? Is the food bad?"

"You're asked to join," the assistant said again.

Grimacing in his heart, Queena has no choice or he will have a problem with Rosana's mother. Queena sure, Ellen who wants him to join because clearly he received a signal immediately away from Mother Rosana earlier.

"Queena .. "call Mother Rosana, "sit down and have dinner with us" he added nodding to the bench beside Elleanor. Rosana's mother smiled but Queena knew, Rosana's mother didn't want her at the dinner table.

Ellen smiled at him, the girl desperately keeping a looked up look he wanted to vomit had to set an expression.

"This is Axel Anthony" added Mrs Rosana. "Axel, this is Queena. Sorry if you might not be comfortable ...." I'm talking to Viktor Mendeleya.

"No problem ...," Axel said quickly.

"If you know you stopped by, I'll call the chef to cook," said Ms. Rosana.

"Queena is cooking this," said Elleanor and immediately got her mother's sharp gaze.

"No problem" Axel replied again. "Hai Queena," said Axel, looking carefully at Queena, then looking at the food in front of her. "It looks so delicious" he nods at the coq au vin in front of him.

"Trims," said Queena, "please enjoy, sir."

They eat in silence and silence. Elleanor did not stop glancing at Axel by her side, hesitating, wanting attention, but the cold Axel Anthony seemed to just want to eat without interrupting.

Waiting for dessert to be served, Elleanor felt the dining room was like it was in a funeral home.

"How do I melt a cold man's heart, Queena? You said you had a quiet lover?" asked Elleanor blinked at him ignoring Rosana's mother, who didn't like Elleanor, not keeping up her attitude.

"You got a boyfriend, son?" ask Rosana's mother.

"Complicated" Elleanor said.

"Is someone from the family? Is your friend in the hospital? If he's a good guy keep it up, Queena."

Queena's blowing, huh. Take a breath and quietly exhale again, huh. Heart hurts.

"His mother was not our blessing, so, we parted," said Queena looking at Elleanor, smiling wryly.

"Is someone from the family? Could it be because of the ..., case ..., Elleanor stopped talking about the unimportant. Okay?" Mrs Rosana is in control of the situation.

"This is important actually, I want to know how to conquer the heart of an introvert man. You're gonna tell me, Dear Queena."

"Too her! He'll melt into you! They are not romantic men. Under normal circumstances they are very cold. Some introverted men need to drink and can only attack you. You have to be a little aggressive" Queena said, fully aware Axel Anthony asphyxiated since. Queena knows Axel well, can feel the tension of the man.

"Somewhere?" Elleanor astonishment. "What's that like?"

"Such things are only done by introverted men who have no self-esteem. Men with high self-esteem will not do that," said Rosana's mother looked at Queena and then at Ellen.

"Yes Mother Rosana, you're right. My boyfriend is just a jerk," Queena complained as Axel stained her until they had a baby. "Mr Axel Anthony will not do that" he added sharply.

"All right, let's stop! You postponed the wedding, I want to know why you're Axel?" ask Rosana's mother.

"There's some business I have to do" Axel said.

"Can't delay?"

"Yes" Axel replied briefly.

"Well, good luck. Mom, I'm sorry I'm not polite. But, I have to go meet someone" said Queena.

"You're going back to Queena?" ask Elleanor worriedly.

"Yes Ellen, I'll be back tonight."

"Thank God, you'll replace Adelaide to accompany me on my proposal."

"No Ellen!" Rosana's mother spoke firmly.

"Yes, I am so sorry Ellen. I'll be gone early tomorrow."

"Where?"

"Queena will be working in a clinic in a remote village."

"Queena?! Where can you be?"

"Elleanor?!" mother of Rosana's.

"I'm saying goodbye to Mom, Ellen. Mr. Axel, I hope the application goes well." Just when his phone rings.

"Queena, don't let you be seen. Journalists are everywhere. Get out the back gate."

"I understand, Rosana's mother."

"Be careful, my Dear," waved Elleanor lazily.

What did he expect? Hurriedly climbed into the car reserved for him, sat in the back seat and went numb.

"Anna?! I'm on my way." Down when the gate opens.

"I see, vou esperar (well, I'm waiting) but come to the clinic!"

"Did something happen?"

"Sim (yes)."

Leaning to the car seat, Queena decided to go down in the middle of the road and use a taxi. Lucky Luciano is back. He believes the man balked at his idea of working in a clinic and dealing with mobsters.

A taxi drove down the street to the hidden clinic. They reached the crossroads to get out of town. Green light. It was unexpected that a car would come at them. The taxi driver stepped on the strong brakes and the squeaking car tires impaired hearing. The driver pulled his head out of the car window and cursed furiously.

"De puta madre!!!" (rough climbing)

Unconcerned by the taxi driver, the driver got off the back of the car. Wipe the suit before it is bagged. He stepped arrogantly near the taxi.

"¿Quien cojones eres?" (Who the hell are you?)" The driver snarled and returned.

Axel Anthony throws a wallet with money to cover the driver's mouth to stop swearing. He opened the back door and looked under the roof.

"Down!" axel said coldly. The smell of liquor fills the taxi room.

"Sway from me!"

"Down? Or I'll force you and let one city see it!"

"No, don't bother me!"

Axel Anthony was impatient, grabbed Queena by the hand and dragged her down from the taxi.

"Your wallet, Mister?"

"For you and shut up your mouth!" axel answered harshly venting anger. He pushed Queena into the back seat and the car moved away quickly leaving town.

"You're gonna marry my cousin, what do you want, Axel? Don't hurt Ellen!" queena exploded in anger.

"You think of Ellen? I'm gonna hurt you!" sahut Axel cold. "We'll repeat everything." Turning to look at Queena until the one stared in horror.

"Have you had a drink?"

"Yes, I drank so I could attack you! You gave me an idea!"

"Axel ...."

"Is it just your baby that Queena's missing? Is she not my baby? Don't I want him? I want your baby when his own mother intends to eliminate him" he exclaimed in anger. "Is it that easy to end things with me, Queena? Your mother will come back, I will bring your mother to you. I promised I didn't care about risk. Right now, you're going with me!" sue Axel suddenly, hold Queena to him.

"Axel, let me go!"

"No," Axel refused. "You're good at torturing me, why should I keep quiet this time?"

"Axel?!" Push that guy! "Didn't you prefer your mother?"

"Don't use my mom as an excuse. You and I know better than anyone that I'll be with you but you can't wait. You made things complicated for me! You think I came for Ellen?"

"Take me off!" turn down Queena as Axel hugs her. They're out of town now, heading for Mendeleya's ranch.

"No Queena," Axel stabbed Queena in the eye with a sharp look. "You and I are going to repeat everything about us .. from the beginning."
