95.
(Khan's mansion)
I walked into the house and saw Alyssa ambling out of the kitchen, she shoots me an off look and moved away heading to Drake's bedroom, something urged me to follow, so I did and met her giving a weird drug to him.
"Good boy," she says and while trying to leave, I rushed and hid away from her gaze, as she moved back to the kitchen.
The moment her feet faded, I sneaked into Drake's room, and he lifts his head inferring the odd behavior.
"Sara, are you okay?" He inquired.
I jiggled my head, donning a weak smile, "yes I am".
while he seats watching me aim my eyes round his room.
"Are you looking for something?". Drake asked again.
"Nothing, what should I be looking for?".
I replied in a haste.
Alyssa stood behind and viewed everything without altering a single word.
I turned my back to leave and found her behind.
"Good day, Alyssa". I greeted her.
"Good day Sara, can we talk?" She inquired and walks out of the room with the same attitude.
We strolled back to the living room, and the second I took a step closer, she veers and said, "who are you?".
Alyssa's questions made no meaning to me, "I don't understand". I answered back and met her clap her hands in mockery.
"Do you not understand, miss Sara Scott, because I do but if you don't, I'll let you know about it?".
"I do know why Andres asked us to stay back, because deep down you feel like, Liam and my husband are the same people, am I lying?". She added.
(Waits for my response)
I knew there was no need to lie, something is wrong and now that she has brought out the topic, it's better to speak up the truth.
"What if I say yes, what will you do?". I answered.
She moved backward then replied, "And what if I tell you that, your instincts are right, that Drake is Liam! What then will you do?".
We stared quietly at each other when Andre walks in.
"What's going on, is everything okay?". He asked.
"Everything is fine, and please, tell your mom to stay clear of Drake's path".
Alyssa says, storming away.
"Tell me what happened mom and what exactly did the doctor say?".
He asked me.
So I recessed back, " son!!! I believe that Drake is truly Liam, and based on what the doctor said, Drake suffers from Alzheimer's disease, it's a kind of disease that makes someone forget about his or her family members".
Andre's moved closer to me, "seriously, so you're telling me that, the person living with us, can be my very own father?". He gets excited.
"Yes"? I confirmed.
He raised me from the ground and turned me around, Alyssa watched us from her room, and she was in no way pleased by it.
(The same day)
I couldn't get myself, I thought it wise to take a stroll to the only place I could think of, which is the garden.
I sat at the bench outside, facing my reflection on the fountain water there.
96.
Hey stranger"
"Why?" I inquired, but he walked out without giving me an answer to my question.
Strange.
(Following morning)
Andre's knocked on my door, I walked and saw him holding a package.
"Good morning mom"
He walks in.
I turned back and asked, "what's the package for and what's inside?".
Andre's placed it on the bed and said, "I want you to get ready because today, I would like to replay, your's and father's love story".
I returned with my words, " serious about this? What happens to Alyssa, what if she finds out and ends up getting me arrested".
"No mom, trust me and as for Alyssa, she won't even know what happened, so all I need you to do is, to get my dad back to me". Andre's added and leaves in a dash.
I wonder what plans he has in store.
(The same day, 8:33 pm)
I strolled downstairs after receiving a call from Andres, he suggested I dress the part and wait for him in the living room.
An hour passed and I kept on waiting, Drake strolled in and met me dressed up, "going somewhere?" He inquired when suddenly it lights went off.
I soared my eyes round and wondered if there was a problem.
Drake followed the sound of my voice and tugged me by my hands.
He says, "come with me".
Without saying anything, my feet melted away as I followed behind.
We walked directly to the circuit room and somehow I wondered how he knew where to change over was
