Secrets

Chapter Thirty-Seven

Leera's Perspective

" What was that? " I said.

The guests are starting to leave, Allana's sister had left to find her, before Reela left, she literally had an arguement with her mother.

Edward did not look so surprised when Allana ran. But he tried to.

" Did she just run? " Nicholas said.

" Andrew. " Sofina said

" What about Andrew? " I said

" He said that he will leave if he didn't find Allana. " Sofina said

" Oh, shit. " I said.

" Yeah, shit. " Nicholas said.

" Do you have Andrew's number? " I said.

" No. " Sofina said

" The American number, I don't know his British number. " Nicholas said

" How are we gonna find them? " I said.

Allana's mother came where we are sitting.

" Good morning, Mrs. Chase. " I said.

" I don't know what you said to her that made her run away. But I swear, if I see you three again, I'll skin you alive. " she said then walked away.

" Did I hear it right? She'll -" Nicholas started.

" Skin us alive if she sees us again. " Sofina said.

" Now I see why Allana ran away from her. She's a-" I started

" Monster? " Edward came to us and finished my sentence.

" Edward. " I said.

" Hi. " Sofina said.

" Hello. " Nicholas said.

" Hello. " Edward said.

" Don't worry, she's really a monster. She says that when she's angry, but eventually she'll forget. " Edward said.

" Really? " I said.

" Yeah, the truth is, I told Allana to run. Well, I told her what her heart tells her. And I guess she did, she ran. " he said.

" You told her to escape the wedding?" Nicholas asked

" Yes. I gave her the freedom that her parents did not give to her. The freedom to choose. " he said.

" And she chose to run away. " Sofina said.

" Yes. " he said

" She didn't hint at all? " Sofina said

" No. But I had plan B. If she chooses me, I'll accept it. And plan C, which is if she chooses me, I'll run. " he said.

" Wow. This is a well-planned plan. " I said.

" Not that well-planned. I only planned for me and her. Not the people around. I did not expect that it would have media coverage, making Allana make a shame for her family and their name. Making me look stupid, but I expected it, I only have to act that I was hurt badly. " he said.

" Where would Allana go? " Nicholas said.

" I don't know. But I hope that she'll be happy. I have to go. " Edward said.

" Uh, thanks. You know, for uh, letting her go. " I said.

He smiled then walked away.

" Seriously, where would she be?" Nicholas said.

" Okay, wait. I have to go, talk to someone." Sofina said as she stood up and left.

" Where would she be? " I said out loud.

Where would she be?
