Dance With Me (Silent Whisper’s)

‘What comes easy won’t last long, and what lasts long won’t come easy, if everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow. Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.’

7PM:

Philly phone vibrated once more and he picked it without checking the caller, he knew who was calling.

“Yes Leo, what’s the situation at hand?” Philly asked lowly.

“Isaac died before I could get to him master.” Leo answered.

‘Shit! Then I won’t know who did it.” Philip said pissed off.

“Master, their killings looks exactly like that of Ivan’s killer.” Leo said.

“That means Ivan, Van and Isaac was killed by one person?” Philly queried.

“Yes master.” Leo reply.

“Hmm, then look for whosoever the killer is and alert me, by the way, Isaac said David and the killer left together, look for the second guy…. he is the killer. To get him, look for David.” Philly tells him. “Infrom the remaining Nine Fingers to meet me in Kate’s house tonight.” He added and cut the call before Leo would respond.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Who is the killer?

Philly thought to himself.

Eric won’t survive from the wounds Ivan had given to him. According to Leo, he couldn’t find Eric’s body but the forest was filled with Eric’s blood and Ivan dead body, that wasn’t his concern. If this killer can kill his three men, that means he knows him. How can he kill Ivan in Floda and then kill Isaac and Van in Valten, does it mean he lives here and there? Had this killer knows his plans?

Various types of thoughts runs through the mind of Philly as he thought about the killer killing off his men one after the other.

“He won’t stop me, I will kill whoever that stands between me and Nora.” He said in determination.

He went to take his bath and changed the clothes he was putting on.

“Oh I see, if you really miss him then why don’t you call him or look for him?” Daisy asked.

“That’s it Daisy, I forgot to ask for his number or his house address. You got to help me in this, help me Daisy, I need his number. Hearing his voice once again will gladly my heart.” Nora said in a sad tone.

She feel this void of a hole in her that can be only fixed by Paul.

But why is she thinking of Paul when Philip is right here with her.

Does it mean she is falling out of love? No this can’t be happening. After waiting for so long for Philip to come and he came, she couldn’t think of Philip anymore, infact she finds it very difficult not to think of Paul.

Pretending to be happy in front of Philip is Killing her slowly. How would she tell Philip that someone she met once is now in her head, she doesn’t want to hurt his feelings.

“I will see what I can do.” Daisy announced cutting her off from her thoughts.

“Do you think what I am doing is right? I mean, allowing my heart to go for Paul instead of Philip.” Nora said suddenly feeling guilty.

“I have told you to follow your heart Nora, everything will be fine.” Daisy said.

“What’s love Daisy, I mean I know what is love, but what’s love to you?”

“Love, sometimes it’s hard to say, but love is Kind, love is patience, love is happiness and love is Peace of Mind. If you have no feelings for Philip tell him and stop faking your love around him, that is all I can say Nora.” Daisy responded and disappeared.

“Thanks, I know I will always count on you.” Nora said softly to the empty room.

Maybe spending time with Philip would help remove her mind from Paul, she hope so.

She quickly took her bath, changed into her night clothes and left for Philip’s room. This time, she brought out her necklace for the world to see, after all Philip is back.

She entered without knocking and saw Philly just coming out from the bathroom absolutely naked.

She quickly closed her eyes and was blushing, “Sorry I barged in without knocking, I swear I didn’t know you will be taking your bath or being naked.” Nora said in a shy voice still closing her eyes. What her eyes just saw was still in her head. He looked handsome even with his scars.

“Open your eyes love.” Philly voice, very close to her face said.

Nora open her eyes slowly and saw that Philip was standing in front of her. She noticed he was fully dressed.

How was he able to do that without her hearing his footsteps?

As she glanced his body again, she remembered how he had looked like with his naked body. Before she could withdraw her mind from its far places, his arms were around her waist as he pulled her towards his body. She met his gaze and then watched as his eyes flickered from her eyes down to her lips, and back up again. He leaned until their noses were nearly touching.

As he leaned in, her heart wasn’t racing as it should have.

Her tongue darted out to wet her lips nervously, and Philly stared at it until it retreated, and then he stared at the wetness left behind. It was almost hypnotizing, that faint glistening sheen across Nora’s lips. Like a siren song, one he was helpless to resist. He closed the gap remaining and kissed her.

Nora finds out she couldn’t return the kiss as the image of Paul kept flashing through her mind, she felt like she was betraying him, she slightly pushed off Philip from her. “I was feeling bored and I decided to come here.” She said removing his hands from her waist and going to stand in the middle of the room, she twisted her waist around in a seductive way and faced Philip. “It has been long I have danced my love, come…” She said stretching out her hand towards him. “… and dance with me.”

“I don’t know how to dance Nora, beside there is no music.”

“You said the same thing when I asked you to dance with me years ago, and as for the music, have you forgotten we danced without it?”

“I remembered my love.” Philly answered grabbing hold of her hand.

They started dancing with no music like they once did years ago.

Still, Nora felt this wasn’t right. Once again, she saw herself dancing with Paul instead and was smiling at him. it all looked real as if he was the one dancing with her instead of Philip. It was then she realized she was falling in love with her savior, Paul.

She was in Love with Paul and not Philip.

“Your necklace is beautiful.” Philly spoke after a while bringing her out of her thoughts.

“You gave it to me Philip, have you forgotten about it also? The necklace stand as our promise of love for each other.”

Valten:

They had hurriedly eaten their food before they entered the white SUV Jeep, “Stay in the car I am coming.” Paul told them and went inside, he soon came out with a black box and enter the driver sit. Paul drove them towards the hospital. He still remembered his way there.

Parking his car, they got down and went to the nurse in the reception room. They quickly recognized Paul.

“Is Doctor Fey around?” Paul asked immediately holding the box with his left hand as he uses his right to bring out his phone, checking the time.

“Yes sir, he is around.” One of the nurses answer seductively.

Without saying anything else, they left the reception room and head towards Fey’s office. He pocketed his phone and knocked on the door once, he opened it without waiting for a reply.

Doctor Fey a man in his early sixties was surprised and happy when he saw Paul and two guys entering his office.

“Hello Paul, long time no see.” Doctor Fey said with a smile. “How is your father?”

“My father is fine Doc but I am not here for that.” Paul answered sitting down.

“Okay, what then can I do for you?” Fey asked going serious and pointed at David and Eric. “Are your friends here for check-up? Are they sick or suffering from a strange illness?”

“It’s not about them doc but about me.” Paul said and place his box on Fey’s table.

“What is it Paul?” Fey demanded.

“My cousin brother here.” Paul began pointing at David, “Said he was with me when I had that accident and he was the one who had called my father to the accident scene.”

“Okay…. that happened a long time ago Paul, your father brought you here and we attended to you, saving your life.” Fey said.

“I see, when he came here with me, how bad was I then?” Paul asked.

“Very bad, you are lucky you came out alive. When he brought you here, you were barely alive not only that, you were badly burnt beyo….”

He was cut off by David.

“You are lying doctor Fey, Paul wasn’t badly burnt as you had claimed and you know it. Stop lying to us old fool.”

“Look here David or whatever your name is, I don’t know what you’re talking about. His father came here with him and he was badly burnt, which was why he had so many ugly scars in his body.” Fey lied. “And if you don’t mind the way you talk to me, I will be forced to walk you out of here.” He added looking at David.

“Fey.” Paul spoke after a minute surprising the doctor for calling out his name. “David… isn’t lying, the first day that I had cooked, my father was surprised, even the servants were not left out. I heard them whispering about me and my cooking, but I over looked it and didn’t think of their words till today. Some days ago, I had cooked for a friend of mine, and she told me the food reminded her of someone who was dear to her, and today, my cousin made mention of that name and still asked me the same question she asked me that night.” Paul told Fey and opened the box in front of them. He turned it over to Fey’s direction.

Various types of sharp weapons were displayed and Fey swallowed hard.

“I will only ask this question once, if you feel like you wouldn’t answer, pick a weapon inside this box and you shall die by it before the end of the day. Doctor Fey: the world most famous surgeon died by accident after he fell off from his building, he shall be greatly missed. That shall be the headline news tomorrow. You only have two children, right? Aged, 22 and 20 respectively, once you’re gone I will take care of them and burn down everything you owned, starting from this very hospital. But, saying the truth, I won’t harm you. Now, the question is…. Am I Paul Mirror or not? Think careful before you answer.” Paul spoke slowly.

Fey suddenly cleaned the sweats from his forehead. He doesn’t want to lose his life yet, he knows what Robert has turned Paul into, so he has to say the truth.

“Let me start from the beginning.” Fey said at last. “You’re not Paul Mirror, the real Paul Mirror is dead.”
