Forty-six. Mona

Forty-six. Mona

Zelissa? Ezekiel screamed in his mind. No one has ever said that name to him for a very long time. No one else knew that name except him...and Lily. He stared at Monalissa with wide eyes. He lost all composure when she said that.

Monalissa noticed the way he was looking at her and blinked severally. She wondered what could be the reason for him to be looking at her that way. Before she could even comprehend, he pulled her into a hug, holding her tightly.

"Lily...", he muttered. His voice was hoarse from the cry that clogged his throat. He hasn't heard that name, 'Zelissa' in a very long time. The last time he heard it was the last day he saw Lily. In that instant, he forgot that she was his enemy. His archenemy.

Monalissa didn't understand what was wrong with him. She pushed him away and recoiled from him.

"Master... what's the matter? Who's Lily?", she asked. She was also trying to comprehend what was going on.

Ezekiel looked at her for a while. "Can you repeat what you just said some seconds ago?"

"What did I say? Did I say something?"

"Yes. You did", Ezekiel said, his voice filled with unconcealed urging.

"I didn't say anything. I don't even know what I said".

When Ezekiel heard this, he felt as though a bucket of cold water was poured in him. His face changed from anxiety to anger. He stood from the chair and faced another side. He was really angry. He lost his composure over his illusion! How could she even be Lily?! There was no way she was his Lily. Angered by his outburst of emotions just now he left the ward.

Monalissa pouted with a frown at his behavior. What was wrong with him? Who was Lily anyways? She shrugged and got off the bed.

Ezekiel had just stepped out from the ward when Kim rushed up to him.

"Boss! There's news on Lily. From your source".

Ezekiel's eyes widened but he clenched his fists tight to avoid losing another composure.

"What news?"

"She's in Moon country".

Ezekiel nearly screamed. He turned to look at the ward he had just left from over his shoulder. It couldn't be.... What's your identity Walker?

"Boss, there's also another news".

"Speak!"

"Yes Boss. From your source as well, they said that it seems that there's someone who decides the information we get on Lily".

Ezekiel arched a brow at him. "What else?"

"Also, her parents are in Cee country and they're still looking for her".

Ezekiel frowned. Who was playing with him in this manner? The last time, Michael had told him that her parents lost her and they adopted another child and had forgotten their real daughter, but Kim's telling him right now that her parents were still looking for her?

He looked at Kim, his gaze as cold as ever. "Kim, it seems that someone has been having a lot of fun, it's time I join him. Find out everything and anything about Walker and also, find out who Lily's parents are".

"Yes Boss", Kim replied and left.

Ezekiel sighed and immediately whipped out his phone. He dialed a number.

"Gooday Boss", the feminine voice from the other end greeted.

"How's the man I brought in?"

"He's doing well".

"Good. Any moves from that side?"

"Yes. The soul-sucking org has been on the move lately. Though they're not major moves but I think it's enough for them to cause trouble".

"Good", Ezekiel said. "Camille, I want you to halt every operations going on within the realm and have Shantel focus on the doctor. He will come in handy".

"Yes Boss" Camille replied.

"Also, I want a discreet investigation on this case. Find out what the soul-sucking org has been doing for the past four years".

"Yes Boss".

"I need all these at the end of the week".

Camille shuddered at the other end of the line. But she still had to do it. "Yes Boss".

"Good. This is a mission only you should accomplish. Be discreet".

"Yes Boss!".

"Connect Milky", he ordered.

Camille did as she was told and connected Milky. The latter was a pretty red-head with grey eyes and voluptuous figure. She had a sunshine personality and was really find of their boss but, she was ranked the top martial artist in the Alpha realm after her Boss, Kim and Louis.

"Hey Boss"

"Milky, I want you to look into Lily's location here in Moon country".

"Oh you mean your long lost wife?", she teased. Camille gave her a warning look.

"Yes. Her. She's in Moon country now. I need her location by the end of this week" he stated.

"Yes boss!".

Ezekiel hung up and heaved a deep sigh. He has been laid back for a while now. Did that make them really think he was foolish?! The leader of the soul-sucking org, Neon... He had to show him that he wasn't one to mess with!

From the corner of his eyes, he noticed a figure leave the ward he had just come out from. In a whip, he turned around and saw Monalissa limping out with her IV stand.

"Walker...", he hissed and walked over to her.

"Walker!", he half yelled.

Monalissa halted in a freeze. What was he still doing here? Wasn't he gone already?! She wheeled around mechanically and faced him.

"Mas...", she wanted to call him.

"Hiss!", he hissed. They were outside.

Monalissa caught on with the role. She put on a sunny smile, her white dentition exposed. A cute name suddenly entered her mouth to call him.

"Baby...where did you go? I was looking for you all over", she said with a pout. Ezekiel chuckled slightly. He couldn't even help it. He walked over to where she stood.

"Where do you think you're going?", he asked his voice cold.

"Baby, I wanted to go on a walk. You weren't there to accompany and it hurts so much", she complained with an aggrieved look on her face.

"Walker, behave".

A little girl who was with her mom passed by. She was eating a cone ice cream. Monalissa, who wanted to go all out with her acting suddenly said, "Kiel, I want ice cream".

Ezekiel paused. Kiel? He looked at her. "Walker..."

"You should stop calling me that", she said with a pout.

"Mona...", he called. Monalissa froze. She has heard the line, 'butterflies in ones belly', but she had never felt it. But today, the sound of his voice calling her name...

Taking advantage of her reverie, he reached for her waist and pinched it.

"Ah..."

"I will take you on a walk, Mona", he said with a teasing smirk. He held her hand in his and they walked out, to the gardens at the hospital.
