Chapter 46
After making sure the door was locked,I sat down beside Eve, Rick was sitting in front of us.
We had quickly entered Eve’s room,fearful of our conversation being heard and that my suspicions was actually valid.
“Sweetheart,can you remember where you’ve seen him before?,” I asked.
“Are you sure you’re not overreacting to this right now?,” Eve asked. She had been telling me that since Rick broke the news.
“I mean,he’s just a kid!,” she finished.
“No, Eve!. I’m not. Rick has never,never,not once has he ever forgotten a face,even
‘No,Eve!. if he just sees the person for a second, that’s one of his strengths,” I said firmly.
“Baby,are you sure it wasn’t during dinner that day you saw him?,” she questioned him and I scoffed. He had stressed on the ‘before!,” he couldn’t have been wrong!.
“Rick dear,tell us,was he among the men who kidnapped you and your brother?,” I asked and Eve stood up..
“Stop this madness,Amara!. Just stop!,” she yelled.
“What is wrong with you Eve?,I have told you,we have to trust him! It’s not like we have any other choice or any other leads!,” I yelled,also standing up.
“It’s not like your boyfriend would say anything!. He’s just too weak and scared to do anything and puts the blame on an oath!,” I yelled again and she sighed.
“Don’t bring Norman into this,” she said,quietly.
“Then let’s hear the boy out!,let’s hear what he has to say!,” I exclaimed and sat down.
“Sweetheart,now tell me,what did you…,” I was saying when she cut me off by dragging Rick.
“You’re not obliged to say anything dear. You don’t have to,” she said and I clenched my fist..

“He is just a child!,what if he’s wrong and you go out there and act based on what he said,which could be very much wrong. What do you think will happen?,” she sighed and continued.
“Lucien would believe you’re insane and is trying to cause discord in this vicinity. He’d throw you out and might even banish you from here. You’d k*ss goodbye to

“Such and long speech!. Lucien should hire you as his mouthpiece!,”
“Look!,Amara,I don’t want you to go about this whole thing the wrong way. Please!. I’m your elder sister and I promised to protect you,which is what I’m doing and will continue to do!. Please just….,stop,” she said,shaking her head and I chuckled bitterly.
“You don’t have children!. You never had. You don’t even have a mate!, you’ve never been marked!. Your mate is too busy being a coward to even mark you!,” she winced at that and I could see the hurt etched on her face as she swallowed.
I continued, “you don’t know how it feels to have all those and then lose them,” I scoffed.
“You want to protect me?,it seems you need the protection,more. You don’t understand anything and you’re here preaching to me to stop?!. I am this close,” I held up a finger, beckoning on how little.
“I’m this close to getting my son back and I don’t care about being wrong,if he’s indeed clean,he wouldn’t find a problem with that. I’ll listen to what MY SON has to say,” I said,emphasizing the ‘my son‘
She didn’t speak for a while but I saw her let go of Rick’s hand. It looked like there were tears in her eyes but I wasn’t sure.
“I did warn you,” she said in a quiet voice as she went towards the door.
She was indeed hurt,it was evident in her voice.
“Please leave, I won’t be a part of this,after all what do I know?I’ve never had a

child.,” she said in the same quiet voice as she opened the door wide,beckoning us to leave.
“I want to stay with Aunt Eve,” Rick was saying as I dragged him away,turning to look back at her.
When we got to my room,he started to cry,stating that he wanted to stay with her.
“Shut up!,” I yelled and immediately regretted that as he continued crying.
“I want to be with Aunt Eve..,” he said again and I sighed and carried him on my legs.
“Sweetheart,you want to see your brother again right?,” I asked and he nodded.
“Good,me too,” I said and was about to say something when he spoke.
“But mummy, why did you quarrel with Aunt Eve?Is it because of what I said about that uncle?,I promise I won’t say it again,” he said and I heaved a sigh.
“No baby it’s not that. We just had a small argument,it’s not about you or the uncle,” I said.
“But she said something about the uncle and me,” he said again and I shook my head.
“No baby. But you have to tell me something about that Uncle,is he the bad uncle who held you hostage?,” I asked,my eagerness noticeable in my voice.
“No, mummy,” he answered.
“Then,where have you seen him before?,” I asked.
“I don’t remember,” he mumbled and I sighed.
“Are you angry Mummy?,” he asked and I swallowed hard and smiled.
“Why should I be, darling?,I can never be angry with you,no matter what,” I said. with a smile.
“But it wasn’t at the bad man’s place you saw him right?,” I asked again and he nodded.
I was pissed,but couldn’t even act nor show it. Eve was right,he’d seen Greyson at

I had to see Eve now then. I groaned as the memories of our arguments came rushing back, I had spoken to her very harshly. I shouldn’t have!. I closed my eyes: and opened them. I had to go now to fix what I had broken.
“Baby,would you mind staying alone here while I go talk to your aunt?,” I asked and he nodded.
“Mummy, please tell her I want to stay with her,” he said and I nodded.
I went out and he closed the door behind me.
I walked briskly to Eve’s room,knocking as soon as I got there.
“It’s Amara,” I said as she asked who it was.
‘Sure, you’re back to gloat aren’t you?,” she replied without opening the door and I sighed.
“I’m sorry
about how I spoke,I…I..I uh…”
“You were being a mother. Something I’m not, you made that perfectly clear,” she said.
“I’m sorry Eve. I truly am. Look, you were right. I shouldn’t have listened to a kid…I just….I was just….I don’t know Eve,my patience is thinning out by the day,” I exclaimed with a sigh.
There was silence from the other end and when I felt it was becoming too much,I called out her name again.
“Eve?,”
I heard a click and then the door opened.
“Come in.
I entered and sat on the sofa.
“What happened?Why are you here?,” she asked as soon as she closed the door and I sighed.
“He…he said he can’t remember where he’s seen him before,” I said,with my head.

“I understand that you were just trying to get you kid back. But my dear,you have to be wise about it. These people are waiting for you to make a mistake,to snap!. You don’t have to do that. You shouldn’t give them that satisfaction,” she said and I nodded.
“I wish there was a way to prove that the child Rielle’s crying isn’t Lucien’s,” I bit out and Eve sighed.
“Even the Crone wouldn’t have been able to figure that out,” she replied.
“I do have to see Lucien anyways. I’m not comfortable with Rielle being in a room known as the Luna’s room,”
“I heard you declined his offer for you to stay in the house,” she pointed out and I sighed.
This was before Rielle’s arrival and I didn’t want to stay in the room because it’d feel like betrayal,like I was betraying my children by staying in the room where their captor used to live.
I was about to say something but stopped due to the frantic knocks on the door. Eve stood up quickly and went to open,without asking who it was.
I gasped and ran quickly towards the door when I saw who it was. It was Rick.
“Baby, I thought..,” I was saying when he cut me off.
“Mummy,I just remembered where I saw that uncle. It was in school, he just watched us as we did sports,” he said,grinning excitedly.
