Sold To The Wicked Him

“And what are you up to this time?”

Elton asked his friend scrolling through files as if he was looking for something that won’t let him sleep at night. But no matter what he asked him, he won’t tell him a single thing at all.

“Nothing”

Boredly looking at the man that give such a reply, Elton was left speechless as to why he said such words. It was like him to not tell much. But still, that very moment, it is not something that he would like to receive as a response.

“Nothing? Really, you want me to believe in that? okay fine. You are looking for nothing”

Acting as if he was closing his mouth zipper up, he let out a sarcastic smile. Not being able to do a thing about that matter, he knew it was helpless.

“Ah, by the way I also sent your condolences to the president. Not sure if he would still see it but his daughter’s loss was so sudden. Who would have thought that the bombing in the Gala would kill the first lady?”

Shaking his head that doesn’t care about listening to what Elton was saying. All he care is about how to find out if Lea and Allea was the same.

“If you ask me I am certain that it was planned neatly. No one even knows when did that bomb was planted” Elton shakes his head continuously as he really can’t believe in what happened the night of the Gala. It didn’t even went to half of the party as it finished soon just before everything started.

“Hah, I feel bad for the president. He lost his wife not so long ago and now his daughter…”

“Do you have any contact with Dr. Manfreder?”

“Ah, yes”

It was out of the topic that he was talking about but he just let it slide. After all, it was his fault for talking to him even though he was well aware that his friend would probably not listen to him.

“I need it, ah no, just contact him and give him these samples.”

“Samples”

Opening up the envelope, he was sure that it was the same envelope he saw being brought to the office by Lea’s maid. Lilith.

“What is this?”

Asking, Aiden did not dare say any words as he keeps on clicking on his laptop. As soon as Elton opened the envelope, sealed bags was inside. Two of it.

“This are hair…”

Questionably looking at the man that gave him that envelop, he can’t help but have a frown on his face

“Who…”

But before he can even let his friend answer his question, two people pops on his mind.

“Lea… and that… Allea”

That made Aiden look at him confirming that what he said was right, he shook his head.

“You don’t really think they are one… right?”

Aiden just smiled for a bit as a reply.

“You… Hah, I don’t know why but somehow… I am not fully against your decision”

A chuckle then escape his lips. As he hold the envelope that he will send to Dr. Manfreder.

…

“Doc? Are you here?”

Asking that question, she soon hear a reply.

“Yes, who is it? Come in”

Peeking on the door, a gentle smile escapes Sylphia’s lips.

“Sylphia, long time no see. What brings you here?”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Smiling, she head inside.

“Dr. Manfreder…”

“You child, no need to be that formal. It is not as if I am not your godfather”

A chuckle then escapes his lips as he put down the files he was holding. Looking at the lady that come in, he is well aware that she is not a person to visit without important business. That being said, something important might have happened.

“I have few questions to ask. And… a favor too. If it is alright?”

For the person like her, her request is something he wished to do. she is like a family to him, after all.

“Yes, of course it is. Go ahead”

“I would like you to check this samples, if they are related with each other”

Opening the envelope that Sylphia handed, what he saw was samples of hair sealed in a plastic pouch.

Flashback

‘What is that?’

Sylphia asked as soon as she saw her brother having that envelope.

‘I will give this to Dr. Manfreder’

‘Why? What is that?’

End of Flashback

“Who owns this?”

“A friend of mine…”

She giggles, remembering the very face of the person that own that thing.

“All right, I will call you once the test shows result”

“Thank you, Uncle”

Putting back those samples inside the envelope, he remember that it wasn’t just a favor she wanted to ask.

“Right, and what is it that you want to ask?”

“Uncle, Is there a possibility that one lose her memories?”

Nodding his head, he agreed about her words right away.

“Yes, in most cases it was because of a head injury. Specially when it was a traumatic event”

‘Is that so? Then there is a possibility it was indeed her. Did she lost her memories?’

Still curious about more things, she was surprised to hear yet another words coming from the doctor.

“But also there is other cases”

Looking at the doctor, Sylphia was curious on what that was. Wondering what he would say.

“Other cases?”

He once again nod his head.

“Yes”

Holding his hands as he put his elbow on the table, there was a serious tone in his voice.

“Some use drugs”

And that made her eyes wide open. After all, such words to be heard…

“D- drugs??” she mumbled asking while also stuttering.

“Yes, I will tell this to you since you are no longer a kid. I know you are also aware of it. Right? The underworld… I mean”

Surprised by what he heard, Sylphia gulp and continued listening to what her godfather would say.

“It wasn’t known in the public but a new drug is circulating in the underworld. A drug that can make someone lose their memories”

“Even I was surprised”

There was a frown on her face. She was wondering how can such thing exist.

“But why will they do that?”

Shaking his head, there was a bitter smile in the doctor’s face.

“There are many reasons why. But if it was I who would do so, with no ill intention to others, I think I would use one to forget hurtful memories that I had”

…

“So you need anything else?”

Shaking her head, Lea was still surprised on how Brylle act. He wasn’t like that. it was the first time he ever raised his voice to her… it was quite a shock for Lea. After all, the sweet him is the one she always see.

“Thank you”

Feeling ashamed of what he did, he tried to lighten up the mood a bit. Holding the folder on his hands, a smile can be seen written all over his face.

“About some matters, Lea, I have a good news”

Tilting her head, Brylle continued his words.

“Her, my brother got your profile”

“My… profile?”

“Ah, yes, he saw informations about who you are. And guess what, Allea is indeed your name. but Kruie is your Surname. Seems like we missed the K on it”

Slightly laughing as he jokes about that, Lea picks up the folder he showed.

‘Allea Kruie’

She mumbled as she saw her name as well as picture where she looks a bit younger.

“Yes, and you have a twin”

Thinking about it, she mumbled asking.

“A… twin?”

“Yes”

He agreed in that words.

“Who?”

Checking on the next page of the paper there she saw,

‘Lea Kruie’

A photo was also placed, there are two her…

‘I have a twin?’

But no matter how much she thinks about it, nothing seems to ring a bell.

“And… Lea, I mean… Allea, I have something else to tell you”

Hearing this thing, she can’t help but feel like something is not right.

‘Is this true? Why don’t I feel any recollection about it? I… I can’t remember a single thing….’

Holding her hands, it was as if Brylle was comforting her. Reassuring her that everything would be fine and also letting her know that he was there for her.

“About your sister…”

“About… my sister? Um… Lea?”

Nodding his head he saw how there was a confusion in her eyes. Even so he did not stop in telling it.

“I am afraid… your sister in no longer alive”

A sudden words to hear, Lea could not help but find it weird.

“What…?”

Hands holding her mouth, it was a shock.

“And she is also the wife of that man that saved you”
