The Truth About Lies[COMPLETED]✓

🏵️Chapter 11🏵️: Suicide attempt.

{Justin's P.O.V}

I laid her on the bed gently, hearing her soft snores was like a rhythm to my ears. She must be very tired, cause Nora never snores.

  My hand went through her hair gently as I used my left hand to drag the duvet over her body. Her long eyelashes rested underneath her eye lids. Her hair scattered all over the pillow and her hand curled into fists. I took her hands gently and opened her tightened fists. Even though it took a while, she finally opened them, then turned her back to me, sleeping on her side.

"I just left you for three days and you're already like this. Who knows what will happen if I leave?" I said, even though I knew she probably wasn't hearing me.

  "You must leave. It's a must!" The voice said, loud and clear. I knew immediately who it was.
  I looked at her and she wasn't smiling.

"Follow me!" She ordered and walked towards the balcony of Nora's room.

I dropped Nora's hand on the bed and followed her. She sat down on Nora's favorite swing while I stood in front of her, resting my back on the bannister behind me.

  "Do you trust him already?" I asked her.

  "Of course I don't. But she chose her path. Let her deal with it on her own". Nanny said, walking forward to meet me.

  "What if he harms her?" I asked her.

  "If he harms her, then so be it" she said heartlessly.

  "How can you even say that?"

"You must leave! Whether she stays safe or not, is not you concern. You need to meet with some people of high influence in the Philippines and make friends with them. The only way to win a man of high influence is to be a man of higher influence". She said, her grey hair flying with the wind.

  I sighed heavily. She was right. I had to make the trip, and I had to do it, quietly without drawing attention.

  "How's she feeling now?"

"Huh?"

"How'd she take in the news of the death of her grandmother?" Nanny asked again.

  I sighed heavily again. " She still believes her grandmother is sleeping". I replied her.

  "It's no surprise that she'd react that way".

"Yeah. Especially when she visited her grandmother in the daytime, only for the old Queen to pass away at night. Death really is a mystery".

"And who said that Queen Tamara died a natural death?" She asked before emptying the teacup she took from the table which was beside the swing.

   I stood up and walked straight to the chair close to the swing and sat down. My curiosity was peaked and I needed to know at all cost what Nanny meant by what she said.

  "Did you see anything strange, Nanny?" I asked her.

She put her left leg on the swing, allowing the other one to swing freely as she held the chain of the swing, then looked at me.

"What do you always hear about curiousity and the cat?" She asked me, raising an eyebrow at me.

  "Come on, Nanny. You said that on purpose. You want me to know the truth, that's why you allowed it to slip" I told her.

  She got up from the swing and walked to the end of the balcony where the bannisters were and held it firm. I walked up to her, praying silently in my mind, she'd at least, let me know what was going on.
