Chapter 37: Chapter 37

The rest of the day passed like a rollercoaster like I put my head inside the grinder, every time scared of thinking of who is going to put the switch ON and take my life off.

It's damn sure that the chosen girl by Heil is me but... How did it happen?

I mean I didn't feel any strange feeling when I was lonely or with my colleagues or even with Blake as someone from afar is watching me.

I always felt secured and safe, especially in Blake's arm.

The Book said changes will happen once Heil has sex with her as her hormones adapt his monster side, for that her womb will sustain his baby but it didn't happen to me, that I'm pretty much aware of.

Heil has no problem with Blake. If it had it would kill him when we agreed to marry, further, it has slipped many chances of killing Blake. Even it fooled Blake in the matter of that so-called device when Heil is not allergic to any sound or scared of any.

Such a cunning player.

I'm sure I will face him if he appears in front of me right this moment to claim his possession. Yeah! It's me. I won't be scared of him anymore.

I love Blake more than my own. I will be happy if I lose my life in this battle with Heil, knowing my man is safe and alive.

Sighing inwardly, I arranged all the things on the table before let out a defeated sigh when my eyes landed on the flask where Blake poured a tea for me and strictly ordered me to drink once I reach the cabin.

Once again in the morning, I emitted the full contents from my stomach. So Blake made this special tea and when I refused to eat any, he poured the tea in the flask and gave it to me.

Shaking my head, I poured the tea into the mug before taking a large gulp as its temperature was normal as to drink in one shot. As usual, I felt good after drinking the whole tea and smiled inwardly.

Maybe one day I will cook his favourite meals.

"Now let be ready for the heart attack." I rolled my eyes before settling comfortably in the chair, having a diary in my hand. If I read her diary till the end I will get a heart attack, there is no doubt.

Preparing myself for war, I opened the page where I stopped last night and read the article.

'I'm sixteen weeks pregnant but the baby bump says otherwise as I am ready to deliver the baby. It is large enough to pop out any time soon. I'm scared of my baby's growth but I didn't dare to ask him. If I ask there is a chance he would lose his temper.

Again, He was back to his angry mode as someone turned his switch off. He was happy until yesterday and it all happened when I finished the check-up. The doctor didn't reveal me a penny of information about my baby. But he knows everything... The thing is really killing me.

What are they really planning for my baby? Will they kill my baby once he born? Will they snatch my baby from me?  Tons of questions already spoiled my peaceful sleep, I have nothing to lose anymore.'

It's terrible!!

If I had in her shoes I would spare the baby's dad's life and try to protect the baby at any cost. She was innocent and that moron used her without showing any sympathy. Did he really love her or married her just to use her later?

Cursing him thousand times I flipped the next page which was written on 7th February 1995, three months far from the earliest article.

'Days rolled and I become like a whale. I can't even stand by myself for a second. My feet are aching always. Hayle would carry me if I wanted to go anywhere--'

Hayle? Why did the name seem familiar? My lengthy brows furrowed together as I felt something wrong. Oh! My God!!! It's--- it's my uncle's name!!!!

Shit! Reil... There are so many Hayle outside. He can't be. Rubbing my skin just above my heart I started to read further.

'Today I spoke to Fedy. He was so excited to see the baby. He said he prepared the baby's room by himself with the help of Debbie, my best friend.' My heart skipped a beat when I read the name 'Debbie' and it accelerated fast as it could. Every thud was painful that I couldn't able to breathe.

I shut my eyes before intake a large amount of oxygen to calm my throbbing chest.

First my uncle Hayle. Now Debbie, my mom is involved in the book.

Is it possible that people with the same name are connected by the same relationship? Hmm-- maybe-- I am not sure.

'I didn't regret it when I left my boy under her care. She is a nice girl. She deserves happiness in her life and she found her dream boy who would bring light to remove her dark shadow in India.' I gulped down when I read the article.

Please... Don't... I can bear...

Without my concern my eyes read another passage where my brain is still trying to digest everything, 'She was so shy when she introduced her boyfriend to us. Dr. Thomas Gradson, is a popular guy from India who is the closest friend of Hayle.'

No... Please, God! Make this a dream!! It's too much!!! Tears rolled down my cheeks as I felt someone very close to me stabbed me.

I'm not reading Heil's article, I'm reading my family's history. The boy, who is still mourning for his mom's and brother's death is, my Federick. The cruel man is Dr. Hayle Stone, my so-called Uncle and the innocent girl is Fed's mom... He killed her!!!

Such a heartless moron!! He turned his own child into a monster!!!

Please, God! Don't tell me my dad is involved in this cruel activity. Please!! A small sob escaped from my mouth. I love my dad. I can't see him as a heartless fellow.

I prepared myself for a heart attack but this is too much... My own family committed a big sin. I considered my uncle as my own father!!! But he is a Satan!!! A bloody Satan!!!

"I'm sorry, Belintha. I wasn't aware of this project. He discussed the matter with me but I refused to work with him. I can't risk any baby's life and I didn't think that he would dare to take the risk with his own baby." Dr. Thomas' every word loosened the bit of hope that hung in the corner of my heart.

"Please!" I begged him to save my baby's life. If I was bold enough to fight for my baby, I wouldn't have trapped in this situation. It is my sole fault and I'm ready to sacrifice my life.

"He already turned into a half-monster. It will danger for us if he survives." He shook his head disapprovingly.

"The baby is innocent. Please save him." I clutched both his arms and begged. He is the only hope I have.

"Belintha! You are not going to survive anyway-"

Dad, please save her. She is innocent. Fed needs her mom. I cried as it's happening right this moment even though it had happened in the past and fate already wrote everything.

"Belintha, you are not going to survive anyway, then why do you want to save your baby? You can't even see him growing up." As a scientist, he said the statement boldly but he was broken down inside. That was clear in his eyes.'

Oh, Dad!

"Do whatever you want but please save my baby. He has a caring brother outside, Fedy will look after him. I promise you he won't turn out a monster. Please..  Please don't kill my child." I cried with my heart out.

"He is a monster." He whispered.

"Don't call my baby like this!!! You all are monsters!! Not my baby!! He hasn't even been born yet!!" I yelled.

Why everyone is calling my baby a monster? It's not his fault. He would have born normally if they hadn't crossed that shit of DNA with him. Oh! My poor innocent baby! I cried and cried until darkness consumed me.'

I stopped reading for a while until I gained the courage to go further. Her screaming was echoed through my ears. As a mother, she thought rightful for her baby.

'Thomas handed me a 3D image of my baby's scan. It was crystal clear. My baby has beautiful black eyes, sharp jaws, bubbly cheeks. Such an adorable kid. No one will have the heart to call him a monster unless they are the monsters.

Knowing I have only a few more months left in the cruel world, I started to paint a portrait where I gave life to my sour imagination.'

Baby's portrait?

My vision stuck in the middle as everything became pale white where my mind dragged me to the past where I found the baby's portrait in the bungalow whose eyes were black which Blake claimed it was him and was drawn by his mom.

Oh, God!! You already involved my whole family in this mess. Please don't involve him. I swear I will kill if anyone tries to harm my Blake, even if it is Heil.

'Dear baby,

This is to let you know that mum loves you so much. But I'm sorry. I failed you. You don't deserve this. Don't think you have been left alone in this cruel world. Mum is always with you. Find a girl and have a life with her, but don't fail to protect her as to how your dad did to me. She would fulfill everything. Don't let her know your monster's side. Let her read my diary if she happened to hear the monster. Her heart will melt at least. She won't mad at you. You deserve happiness like others. Don't think you are spoiling her life, because this world spoiled yours.'

With love,

Your Lovely mom

She is going to die. Someone please stops this!! They both don't deserve this!! My heart melted for her.

Furiously, I flipped the next page and my eyes literally came out of its sockets.

It was empty...

I flipped the next page, hoping to figure out who would be Heil.

Again empty...

Flipped another.

Hell... it's empty as a dark sea until the page end.

Who-- who is Heil? I thought the book is the key to my question, but it brought more puzzles.

I read the book over and over meanwhile my heartbeat is not steady as it would burst out any time. "You can't leave me in the middle." I screamed out of my lungs but only empty papers met my frustrations.

"Argghh!!" I threw the book onto the floor. Frustrations and anger combined together which rolled down through my cheeks in the form of tears.

Only three persons know the real identity of Heil. But two were already dead. And the remaining one, I don't think I can able to stand in front of him other than chocking his life with my bare hands.

He knew everything... He knew what will happen when Heil a.k.a his son once contact the girl. He masked everything. He fooled us!!! He dragged my life to hell.

This is the reason why he didn't happy with my project. He would have been aware that I will tear his face with the truth so he warned me to stay away from this project.

Stupid old man!

Is this anywhere related to my dad's death? Did Heil kill him?

What happened to Heil? How did he survive? Who helped him? Exactly who he is??

Lots of questions started to eat my brain alive, as a result, a dark spot appeared just above my head before the whole place started to spin around.

---

1. Heil is a cunning monster whose brain works twice a time faster than an ordinary human.

2. Don't hesitate to suspect anyone even the person is very close to you.

3. If you ever get the chance, just try to prove the walking stick is Heil

My mind got wakens up as all the cells got alarmed when I recalled the third point. I wrote this point in my diary when I started the investigation in the beginning. I was a strong girl at that time.

Blake?

Will he be...

The baby's portrait?

But I verified their entire DNA with Heil's. 'Remember Blake has the key to every room. He might have changed the samples.' My mind stated brutally.

He can't be Heil...

Just one test

I can't...

Just do this.

No way...

The only man you were with is Blake. Just do this.

I won't...

Remember the baby's portrait. He said his mom drew this. Many things are matching with Blake. Just one test.

Please... I can't..

The inner battle brought me back to reality. Slowly, I opened my eyes and met the plain white wall.

Where I am?

I looked around my surroundings and let out an audible sigh. I'm back in my room.

"Reil, baby. You okay?" Blake cupped my face that gained my full attention on him. His face was hitched with worries, pain, and concern.

"I'm fine." My throat felt foreign to me as I swallowed the entire soil, the itching sensation caused me to cough vigorously.

"Drink this." Blake offered me a glass of water which I gladly drank with my whole heart.

"What happened to me?" I asked.

"You fainted." He hesitated to reply for a second as he was not sure what else to say.

Letting out a loud sigh I decided to fall for a peaceful sleep whereas Blake stroked my hair lovingly until I sunk deep into the darkness.

Life is not fair like we think.

----

"Blake, I don't wanna sleep." I whined even though my whole body needs complete rest.

"It's 10 already." He said looking at the wall clock.

"Is this you?" I walked towards him where he was sitting with his laptop and pointed my fingers towards the little boy who was almost looked in his teen.

"Of course, it is you!" I exclaimed. "Lean body, pale skin, dark eyes!! Who else has these features?" I teased.

"What the hell are you doing?" my inner mind flared at me.

"Shut the fuck up." I scolded her.

Just because of her article, I can't suspect my Blake. He is far from Heil. I convinced myself despite the fact that my mind is not agreeing with my heart.

"Yeah! It's me." He scratched the back of his neck, a pink dot appeared on his cheeks.

"Wanna see more?" He asked and I nodded my head. The drowsiness I felt a while ago disappeared just in the air. Seriously, I wanted to breathe some fresh air.

For almost half an hour we went through the collection of his photos. "This is our marriage album?!" I cheered happily, for which he simply nodded his head.

Another half an hour passed and I couldn't be happier than ever as the memories brought contentedness in my sour mind. But it didn't end well as I thought when I saw the photo where I and Blake are smiling happily, we both are shining like an angel.

The smile on my face literally washed off.

In a swift motion, I picked my phone from the table and went through our old photos. Before marriage, I and Blake had pale skin and now we both have white skin with a pink blush.

What the hell is that mean?!

"Another evidence to prove Blake is Heil." My inner self whimpered.

He can't... just shut the fuck up!!

"I fe- feel sleepy." I shut the laptop forcefully. I expected the shout from him but he calmly carried me to our bed. To my surprise, he didn't utter any words or asked anything for my mood swing.

How can I compare my Blake to that cruel Heil?

"I want you." I stretched both my hands towards him. Now I understood why Emiem couldn't able to maintain a distance from Rakesh when we suspected him as Heil.

I hope this is also my fault assumption.

"You are tired." He shook his head.

"I'm not tired for you." I pulled him to the bed. I gave my entire body and soul to him for the whole night, at the same time, I didn't fail to pluck his hair.

Tomorrow morning I will do the test personally. I do not doubt Blake, but I wanted to provide decent proof to my rotten mind that Blake is not Heil.

Next day morning---

With the shivering hand, I placed both Heil's and Blake's samples on the glass plate before I run the test.

If Blake is Heil—

Please don't think like that. He can't be Heil.

What if he?

Just let go of your shitty thought, please!!! I screamed internally.

God! Please! You were with Emiem when she was in a difficult situation. Please be with me. I need you. Please! Help me!! Make this all wrong—

Beep!! Beep!! Beep!!

The beeping sounds cut off my prayer in the middle. You can do this, Reil. Blake is not Heil. The result is in front of you.

Gathering all my courage, I opened my eyes hoping to see the positive results that I wished to see.

Did I see the positive results?

Yes! The result goes positive.

My eyes glued on the screen, my clear vision got blurry. I have no energy to wipe the tears. My chest felt heavy as someone inserted the big stone inside my heart. All the things inside the lab got vanished and the only thing I can able to see was the screen.

"Reil!! I have been looking—" Blake's voice stopped in the middle when he spotted my teary face. In the lightning speed, his head turned towards the screen where the big positive sign popped up that made him clench his jaw.

He, of course, got the meaning of the positive results. Heil's and Blake's samples were matched, which gave a positive sign.

It's not the positive result I wanted to see.

Blake is Heil!!
