Chapter 23 Aaron's Identity

Lucas could do nothing but obey the middle-aged woman's will. He did not want the woman he loved to be hurt. However, when he saw how the middle-aged woman was treating Bella harshly, his emotions ignited and he almost ignored the threat from his aunt.

"I told you not to come any closer, or do you want to see this woman die in my hands?!" aunt Mandy shouted, after seeing Lucas move a few steps.

Lucas' body sculpted, he could do nothing but watch Bella get hurt by people he had considered as a substitute for his own mother.

Aunt Mandy smiled. He was very happy to see that the man was not struggling because of his orders, but in his deepest heart, he felt sad. For Lucas-his nephew would prefer a woman he considered to be a hindrance rather than indulge in his will to marry his chosen woman.

Lucas did not like the smile on his aunt's lips. He snorted, then turned his eyes towards Bella.

Bella looked in pain. Her long hair was still being pulled hard by the middle-aged woman, and she could do nothing but cry out feeling the stinging pain from her head.

***

Aaron tries to call his mother to say that he and Lucas will try to save Bella, but the woman he knows not long ago as his birth mother does not pick up the phone from him. Made him undo his intention to contact his mother again. And prefer to keep the rectangular object in his pants pocket, then run to the side of the hospital hallway.

The shirt worn by Aaron had been drenched in his own sweat, the whirring of the chasing breath making him like someone who had just run for miles away. However, it all did not bring his pace to a halt.

A sweet smile was engraved on her lips. When the room he was referring to was in sight. He opened the door of the room in a hurry, but what he got was not what he wanted. The room was empty as if no one had ever occupied it. Until a woman's voice shocks him.

"Are you looking, Miss Kim?" asked the nurse-clothed woman, as Aaron had turned towards her.

Aaron nodded with a smile that had lingered on his lips.

The nurse smiled, then reached into the pocket of her clothes. "It's from Miss Kim, before she leaves this hospital."

Aaron frowned confusedly. "He's home yet?" tanyakanya.

However, before the nurse answered Aaron's question, the sound of the phone ringing first caught his attention.

"Hallo's? Lucas?" said Aaron. He was increasingly worried when someone who contacted him did not respond to anything, but he could hear a familiar voice. A woman's voice is speaking to no one.

"I told you not to come any closer, or do you want to see this woman die in my hands?!"

Suddenly Aaron's body stiffened. He ignored the nurse in front of him and preferred to leave the room where Kimber had been treated.

***

The feeling felt by Aaron raged into one. He didn't think the mastermind of all this was the woman.

Actually, he also had a considerable share with the incident that befell Lucas and Bella. For from the beginning he had planned all this with the woman.

Starting from revenge for making his life must be someone who is wasted. Seeing an unknown woman knock on the door of her family's house, and confess to herself that she is her real mother. Aaron did not want to believe everything, but seeing the tears flowing from the two eyes of the woman, made him melt and accept everything.

But now, after he saw, even heard directly the woman's actions, Aaron did not want to be involved anymore, let alone the people who would be hurt by him were his own loved ones.

The speed of his car has split the streets quite deserted. His eyes focused forward. However, he occasionally committed his stupidity. Because instead of going to the police station to catch up with Lucas, he instead came to the hospital to try to seduce the woman he loved to accept his proposal.

"I beg you to take care of my brother, Lord," muttered Aaron.

***

Kimber hides when he sees Aaron running in a hurry to leave his room.

Her tears are shed. His right hand dragged the suitcase that had been filled with his own clothes, although not much but enough for the days that he would go through.

"I hope your decision is the best. I can only help you get here, it's a flight ticket to New York." The nurse-dressed woman approached Kimber, looked at him worriedly as she saw Kimber crying, then stroked Kimber's flat stomach. "I've called Aunt Alice, she's waiting for you. I hope you'll be happy there. Take care of yourself, Kim."

Kimber's cry broke. He will never forget the kindness of a nurse named Lily. Because Lily was the one who always helped him when he was admitted to this hospital.

"I'll call you, if I get there, I'll thank you again, if you're not there. I don't know what to do, '" Kimber said. She hugged Lily's body.

Lily hugged him tightly as well, catching him by stroking his back. "Hsstt .. don't cry ...."

***

A sickening smile was still imprinted from the middle-aged woman's face. In fact, he did not hesitate to laugh loudly when he heard the screams of pain from Bella.

Lucas, the man could do nothing but watch the woman he loved being tortured like that. However, his desire to rebel was greater. Taking advantage of the situation, Lucas began to step closer to the middle-aged woman.

"I told you not to come any closer, or is Bella's head gonna blow?" Aunt Mandy put the muzzle of her gun back on.

Lucas stiffened, again unable to do anything.

"Don't hurt him, I beg you, Auntie ...." Lucas surrendered. She doesn't want Mandy's aunt to keep hurting Bella.

The middle-aged woman laughed loudly at the plea from her nephew. He did not expect that the man would be this easy to defeat.

"Your plea will not save this woman's life, but ... can buy her time until her death" Aunt Mandy grinned.

From a distance Aaron watched everything, and he didn't like it. Moreover, the woman who was held hostage was already considered as her own sister.

Aaron stepped out his feet, revealing his presence to everyone who was there.

Aunt Mandy smiled at Aaron. Bella's face was still frightened, while Lucas, the man, frowned.

"You've come and you want to join me?" ask aunt Mandy ambiguous.

Lucas turned to the middle-aged woman with more and more twitching on his forehead.

"I don't want to see my sister you treat like that. Let them go" said Aaron so slowly, Aaron sauntered closer to the two women.

Aunt Mandy's facial wrinkle shows her dislike. Because the man was defending the damn woman he was now holding.

"Sister? Which sister do you mean, son?" ask Aunt Mandy while hersing.

Both of Aaron's eyebrows were raised, then smiled sinisterly at Aunt Mandy, "Of course they are, if you still remember them, Mommy." He pressed Mother's word to the middle-aged woman.

"Mommy ..," Lucas repeated what Aaron had told his aunt.

"Yes, Luc .. Mandy's aunt is my Mommy, and you're my half-sister and cousin" Aaron said, making Lucas' face pale.

"I don't understand all this" he muttered in confusion.

"We have the same father, Luc. You and I, who distinguish it from just one, you were born out of a broken relationship, whereas I, I was just an illegitimate child of an abnormal partner," Aaron said the fact he had been harboring. Because in the past, he did not want to hurt his mother, but because he could no longer see the people he loved hurt, he was willing to swallow his own bitterness.

Lucas's face paled even more, and the man's body fell to the ground. "You're lying, right?"
