Billionaire’s Lost Angel

Lotus adjusted her wig one last time before stepping out of the car outside Natasha’s house. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves and walked up to the front door, mentally rehearsing her new alias, Linda, in her mind. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, her heart pounding against her chest. Natasha, who knew Lotus as Linda, opened the door with a warm smile. “Linda! You’re here! Come in, come in!”

Lotus smiled in return, grateful for Natasha’s warm welcome. “Thank you, Natasha. It’s so lovely to see you again.”

Natasha led Lotus inside the cozy living room, filled with the comforting chaos of children’s toys and laughter. “Please, have a seat. I’ll make some tea.”

As Lotus settled down on the couch, she admired the room, her heart heavy with emotions. She had missed her children so much, but she had to keep her true identity hidden for their safety and fot her safety. It wasn’t the easiest task to do but she had to to do it.

Natasha returned with a tray of steaming tea cups and joined Lotus on the couch. “So, Linda, tell me, how have you been?”

Lotus took a sip of her tea, keeping her composure. “Oh, you know, just the usual. Work, family, keeping busy.”

“Um, what of Sarah?” She asked and I a frown immediately formed on her face. For some reasons she knew that she couldn’t lie to Natasha, she always had a way to get things out of her. Even though she had a new identity now, Natasha still had a way of making her feel vulnerable.

“Sarah was attacked. But she is presumed by all.” I said. “I want it to be that way so none of us would be attacked again.”

Natasha nodded.

James and Jennie burst into the room, their smiles widening when they saw Lotus. “Linda!” James exclaimed, launching himself into her arms.

Lotus enveloped James in a warm hug, whispering in his ear, “I’ve missed you so much, my sweet boy.”

Jennie clung to Lotus’s leg, her eyes shining with excitement. “Will you play with us, Linda? Please?”

Lotus ruffled Jennie’s hair gently, tears threatening to spill. “Of course, sweetheart. Let’s have some fun.”

They spent hours playing games, laughing, and catching up on lost time. Lotus cherished every moment, but a heaviness settled in her heart, knowing that she couldn’t reveal her true identity just yet.

Late in the afternoon, Lotus excused herself to go to the hospital where Sarah was secretly being kept. The doctor, who she had trusted with her life, greeted her with a sympathetic smile. “Linda, how can I help you today?”

Lotus looked around to make sure they were alone. “Doctor, I wanted to check on Sarah. Is she still stable?”

The doctor nodded. “Yes, Linda, she is doing well. I understand your concern, but remember, no one must know she is still alive. It’s crucial for her safety.”

Lotus sighed, her expression pained. “I know… It’s just so hard not being able to see her, to hold her.”

The doctor placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “You have made incredible sacrifices for her, Linda. Sarah is lucky to have you as her sister”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

With a heavy heart, Lotus said her goodbyes and headed back to her house, her mind filled with memories of her children’s laughter, and the pain of keeping her true identity hidden.

Lotus slowly made her way down the bustling streets, her heart heavy with an overwhelming sense of melancholy. With each step, her mind wandered back to Peter and the way he had lovingly held her hand just a few months back ago. The memory brought tears to her eyes. She missed him desperately, and she didn’t know what to do.

Feeling the weight of her emotions crushing her spirit, she decided to seek solace in the comfort of a local bar. As she pushed open the door, the inviting warmth and the lively chatter enveloped her like a reassuring embrace. It was a welcomed respite, a temporary haven away from the suffocating sadness that had plagued her.

Lotus took a seat at the bar, ordering herself a drink to take the edge off her sorrow. The melancholic tunes playing softly in the background seemed to echo her emotions, resonating with the depths of her longing. She allowed herself to be consumed by the ambiance, absentmindedly gazing into the depths of her glass.

“Rough day, huh?”

Startled, Lotus looked up to find an older gentleman seated next to her, a sympathetic smile etched upon his weathered face. She nodded, her eyes filled with unshed tears.

“Care to share what’s got you down?”

Lotus found herself opening up to the stranger, pouring out her heartaches and woes as if he were an old friend. He listened intently, his warm eyes reflecting a genuine empathy that she desperately craved.

“I understand what it’s like to miss someone… to long for their presence,” he said softly, his voice laced with a depth of understanding. “But sometimes, the best thing we can do is to let them go.”

Lotus wiped away a tear, her heart aching at the thought of letting go. “But what if I can’t?

The man chuckled lightly, his eyes sparkling with wisdom. “Ah, my dear, that’s the beauty and tragedy of life. We can’t always control the outcomes, but we can control how we react to them. Sometimes, we find solace in accepting the things we cannot change.”

As the night wore on, Lotus found herself engaged in countless conversations with a myriad of individuals who had found solace in the dimly lit bar. Each person who crossed her path, brought their own story, their own pain, and their own sense of longing.

In the midst of everything, Lotus discovered solace, even if it was only temporary. The laughter and shared woes filled the emptiness within her, if only for a moment. The bar became a place where strangers became confidants, and conversations danced with an effortless charm.
