C98 Chapter 97

"Why is that?" I asked myself another question, because I have opened almost all the drawers here but I can't see where the garlic is, because it is not inside the fridge either.

Until I suddenly heard it break out of nowhere! My eyes widened and instead of being scared and going back to my room, I don't know what happened but I chose to go to the source of the noise, it was in our wine cellar!

While I was walking, what was I thinking about? Maybe it's my ghost and the ghost is making that noise or it's the worst thief! But my guards are at the gate of the subdivision as well as in front of the house, so how can my thief enter?

Every night, almost all the lights in the house are turned off to save on the electricity bill and the only light left is the small lampshades mounted on the walls. It's just that the light of the lampshades doesn't help because his light is really weak.

I made sure to walk slowly so as not to make any noise until I got to my wine celler room. It's dark and nobody seems to be there! And I don't know if that's good news or bad news, so does that mean my ghost here in the mansion? Shut up!

Using the light of my phone, I flashed a flashlight around to check what was there. There is no one! Maybe I just imagined the noise earlier? I said to myself but it's as bad as the loud noise, eh!

Look to the right. Look to the left. I didn't see anything strange or human. It's just when I move forward that I get kicked by a bottle! I immediately turned on the light of my phone. I creased my forehead when I saw an empty bottle of whiskey. Who drank here? Well, it's unlikely that Daddy will, Mommy will be angry if he just leaves the bottle here.

Neither am I! I don't remember sleep walking, I even breathed into my hand and my breath didn't smell like alcohol. Maybe one of our helpers? But that is more unlikely to happen. I'm sure they love the job they have in the mansion and if they want wine or liquor, they can say ask Mom or Dad and I'm sure they are okay giving one bottle of wine or this whiskey here, to our helpers.

Maybe Kenzo? I asked myself, but duh! He's getting married tomorrow, why would he get drunk? What was that while he was doing I-do in front of Marga and the Father who will marry them my hangover? That is so not him. He loves Marga so there is no reason for him to get drunk tonight. More on, he is even more excited to get up in the morning so that he and Marga can get married. Sigh.

"What are you doing here, this late Selena?" I was surprised at the same time as my heart was beating fast when I heard a hoarse voice from behind me. I hadn't even recovered from the surprise, Kenzo suddenly appeared in front of me like a mushroom. I backed away from where I was standing, I only did it once because it was a dead end because the bar counter was behind me.

"I should be asking you that. It's early morning and you're still drunk!" It's annoying to tell him, because from where I'm standing, I can immediately smell the wine that he seems to have been drinking. He walked closer to me until he cornered me, he blocked my two hands on both sides so I couldn't move from where I was standing.

"I can't sleep." He told me and then he bent down so he could rest his head on my shoulder. I was like a stump that couldn't move where he was standing.

"What are you doing? Can you get away from me!" I immediately complained to him but I still couldn't move from where I was standing.

"I miss hearing your voice." He said, I don't understand a thing so I creased my forehead. Ah, maybe it's just his drunkenness.

"You know you look very drunk..." And then I raised both of my hands and placed them on my chest so there was a space between us.

"Why don't you go back to your room to rest." He lifted his head from resting on my shoulder and then he looked directly into my eyes and the fragile heart was beating fast again, the pain I felt like a bubble suddenly disappeared. He raised his left hand and then grabbed me by my jawline.

"Kenzo—" It's just that I couldn't finish what I was going to say when he suddenly brought his face closer to mine and my eyeballs barely popped out of my eye socket when he suddenly kissed me on the lips!

He just kissed me so gently. He moved his lips to my lips so slowly that I closed my eyes and let him do what he was doing kissing me. At the same time I feel, I went back to the time when Kenzo and I first met, the one who was not in Marga's picture. When I'm not the same Selena who is his missing sister.

He just kissed me quickly. After that he pressed our foreheads together while looking directly into my eyes and then he said -

"I love you. I love you so d amn much, Selena but -" Just before he could finish what he was going to say, I pushed him away from me.

"It's enough. It's enough Kenzo, I don't want to hear what else you have to say. Especially if tomorrow you will continue to marry Marga."

"I'm sorry." And when he spoke again, his voice was hoarse as if he was crying. "I'm so sorry, Love. Believe me or not, this is not what you want to happen." I don't know but suddenly I feel like I can't feel anything anymore. I can't say anything anymore.
