Chapter 5

Amelia kept looking at the files. She thought she was dreaming. She wanted it to be a lie for a while, because it just looked like her wish was dropped on her lap the exact moment she wished for it. She knew good things in life did not come easy, so she did not want to believe what was happening was real.

She immediately remembered the person she hired to be her private investigator for this matter and she called her. She dialed her number and put the phone to her ear.

"Belle, did you do this?" She asked getting straight to the point. Belle was also a very close friend to her. The girl was confused "Do what?" Her french accent coming out strong. Amelia lost it when she heard what Belle said "Did you drop the damn file of my parents in my office?" She yelled into the phone.

It was so uncommon for her to loose her cool in anything, but this case was different. These were her parents that she had being searching for for years, and it yeilded no result. Coming into her office on a random day and seeing what she has being searching for was not giving her a good sign.

Belle sighed "calm down fille (girl). Don't get your panties in a knot" She said but that did not pacify Amelia in anyway "I am a full grown woman Belle. Don't call me 'une fille' (a girl) ever again" She said in a mock french accent.

"Okay okay. I was not the one who dropped the file on your table. Can you just thank God for the fast thing and let everything rest" Belle said to her, but Amelia was not having it.

"Belle, you don't understand. Nothing comes easy in life. Even being a Christian is not easy. I know this comes with a price, and I can feel it too" Amelia said in an anxious voice, but Belle was still waving it off. "Now you're talking like a cartoon character. Have you even read through it? It might not even be as serious as you're making it out to be. I have to go now girl. My man is calling. Bye" Belle ended the call.

Amelia threw her phone on her table "That's the same person I hired as an investigator. A romance freak" she yelled looking at her phone.

She touched her forehead that was covered by her mask and sighed "what is wrong with me? This is not me" she said.

She walked to her door and locked it to make sure no one came into her office unannounced. She walked back to her seat and slowly took off her mask and a fair porcelain beauty was uncovered.

Her eyes were bright as they glittered in their green, gold and brown color. Her heart shaped face gave off a softness from her and her small heart shaped lips looked too beautiful to be true. Amelia was too much of a beauty but could not be known to the world. She was a rare jewel that could not be exposed to the world.

Amelia closed her eyes and opened them back again. She decided to read through the files. She took her mother's first and read through it. There was a photo of her mother on the top right side of the document.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

When she got to that part. She was confused. What did it mean by sensitive information? She continued to read.

Dear Amelia,

I'm pretty sure you did not know that your mother was into a lot of stuff in her days. Well, sorry to break it to you, your father was way worse. I'm pretty sure you have not opened your father's file yet. Love for mothers never die easy. Something I did not get to enjoy because of your FORSAKEN PARENTS!!!

I lost my cool there for a second, I'm sorry. Won't you like to see your father's file? Go on darling. You'll see the king and his queen's deeds right there. I mean, he's the head. Run along now. GO!!!

Amelia would not lie about being completely confused by the whole thing. She did not understand what this whole thing was about. She would have asked Brittany, but she was with her through the entire day. She would not know where it came from either. She decided to go on to look into her father's file.

She opened it up.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

Now now now, we are here to the main part of our story. The great Eduardo Aguilar. You must not have known because you were way too young, but I'm here for you. Don't worry.

Did you know that your father was the master of crime? The leader of the evildoers? The devil's own assistant. You didn't know right? But that's who he was. But like every other human being, he still loved.

From the romance books I've read, the bad boys love more than the good guys. They don't play hero like the good guys, No. They could watch the whole world crumble down but they would not care, as long as their women were safe.

Your father was like that. Oh, I'm sorry, your father was times two of that. He would destroy the world with his hands if Lucille complained a little bit about it.

I would never forget the time he amputated a man's two hands because he touched her back slightly and your mother kept feeling 'uncomfortabe' after that. Your parents' love story was amazing. You should really hear it. Don't worry, I'll make sure you will.

Your mind is probably wondering to a lot of places. You do that a lot when you're anxious, you know? Don't worry, I'll set you free. Soon.

Amelia set the file down and her tears held no bounds as they came down her cheeks.
