Chapter 9 She Remembers Everything

Her low-pitched laugh was audible to him.

"Just look for the Lariosa resort; it's on the right side of the road along our route to get here."

She gave him a nod before igniting the car, at which point she glanced at him. He reclined in his seat. He occasionally took a deep breath. Even though he attempted to avoid dozing off, she observed that his eyes were heavy. He finally went to sleep.

A tall, dark-skinned, not particularly old guy greeted Izabella when the Rolls Royce she was operating pulled into the resort's driveway. She described the circumstances.

The man said, "You're on the right track, madame. I'm Larry, one of the caregivers here. Don't worry; I'll take care of our Chief. Levitra will be here in a minute or two. She's at the barn."

Just as Larry dropped Aleksander's body onto the stretcher, she nodded in relief. And until the stretcher reached a spacious room, she softly followed Larry. And she forced a firm swallow when she saw the blue blood on his ribcage's side. There, she accepted his earlier claim that he was an alien.

How is Aleksander different from the Gold body-built extraterrestrial who saved her six years ago? Izabella pondered while she came into the large spacious bedroom. She reasoned that it must have been Aleksander's room at the hotel. Does the man she married own the significant estate? She pondered. Her gaze did not miss that Larry was concerned about Aleksander's well-being. It appeared that the man's life was in danger at other times. She questioned who his adversaries were. Were those the wolves that earlier attacked the two of them?

When Larry said, "Feel at home, madame. I'll pick up Levitra first," she was pulled back to the present.

Izabella felt relieved she would have the chance to spend time by his side. She took a deep breath and stared at him, shaking on the large bed. He opened his eyes gradually after sensing her presence.

The man chuckled, "You looked like you were going to pass out. Come over here."

He held his hand, and she softly walked up and palmed it. She was honest when she said, "I'm worried about you. "Will you be alright?"

He replied, "There's no need for that, Iza. I'll be okay. "Don't worry, I'll be on my feet tomorrow," the speaker said.

"Are you sure you're not giving me empty hope?"

The only reaction was a head tilt from Aleksander. "I did not come back here and be let down,"

The determination in his voice compelled her to question, "What do you mean, Aleks?"

Due to the pounding feet, Aleksander was unable to respond. And then, a woman with dark skin and long, curly hair appeared at the door. In Izabella's opinion, the two of them are of similar ages. She could not stop thinking about their connection and their meeting.

Levitra's eyes were focused silently on the couple's interlocked hands which Izabella pretended not to notice.

Aleksander commanded Larry, "Do take care of her."

"Chief, you can depend on it."

As he grinned. "Promised me you won't go anywhere, that is, without me," he said after turning to face her.

"I'll keep my word, and I'm counting on you to get up in that bed the following morning as you promised."

He laughed before coughing.

She said, "I'll be outside," and left the room.

Izabella sat quietly on the balcony, facing the sky, in front of the granite coffee table and looking up at the clear sky that had just begun to pour heavily.

Her thoughts were racing, though, and she tried to recall how she met the man she later married in Greece last year while working as a freelance model with her closest friend Shanda.

The changes in her life started in Greece when she felt faint and went to the van alone. As they were getting geared up to pack, she passed out and woke up in an unfamiliar room.

Izabella sighed as she distinctly recalled everything, including her nightmares, which had been particularly upsetting since the terrifying episode in the woods.

Izabella attempted to open her eyes despite feeling faint because she was unfamiliar with her surroundings. She then realized she was standing atop an enormous bed in a huge bedroom. As soon as she heard footsteps approaching, she wanted to stand up. The voice suddenly got extremely loud and clear as a door opened.

She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep as she struggled to stop her heart from thumping. She replayed the last thing she could recall. She was with Shanda, her best friend. The fashion stylist declared they would have a small party while preparing for their final photo shoot, but when she felt lightheaded, she went inside the car. She was sitting in the front of the vehicle, adjusting the strap of her high-heeled sandal, when one of the bigwigs passed by and attracted her attention as their eyes met. When she sensed a haze in her vision, she averted her gaze. She saw two men approach her. When one of the men with a big body carried her, she wanted to protest, but it was like she was drowning.

"Yes, the package is here and waiting for you. The woman is dozing off in your bedroom, "said a man's voice as he unlocked the bedroom. "Be at ease, Sir Felix. Nobody noticed us."

Her body began to tremble in fear. Izabella reasoned while she pondered, "In that case, I'm at that man's residence."

When she discovered Felix had taken her, she was worried. He is a model for high-end apparel and the son of the enormous advertising agency she works for.

When the bedroom door opened, she didn't even look, but she could tell that the person speaking had left and that the door had shut. She then heard footsteps leave the room until she could no longer listen to their footsteps.

She deduced from what she had heard that the kidnapper was still outside the mansion. She also looked around as she was lying down. Two doors could be found inside the room, she observed.

Even though she was still feeling queasy, she attempted to listen again before standing up. She decided to leave Felix's place before the man got home. With him around, she was aware that the scheme would fail.

She opened the door next to the bedroom door and discovered a large bathroom. She made a quick, cautious, but agile exit. When she opened the other door, the stunning view from the balcony where she was standing amazed her. She assumed she was on the second level because it was bright downstairs.

She was standing on a balcony overlooking a sizable pool surrounded by a sizable garden below and illuminated by bright lights, including the rising full moon.

She had to leave the mansion before the full moon, which she thought would reveal her complete form without taking medicine in her bag, but she could not see in the bedroom she was in. She could not be experiencing a form change in another nation. Despite her father's repeated warnings, she believed she could return to her village before the full moon, but severe weather forced them to postpone their photo session for a week.

Izabella was spellbound by the alluring view from the balcony and considered jumping from it with the intention of landing on the water, but she was paralyzed by fear due to the height of the floor she was standing on.

Izabella resisted the need to leave the balcony because she had an unpleasant, weak feeling of impending fate and casualty. But just then, she noticed a tiny movement coming from the side of a large tree. The oddest figure she had ever seen caused her to stop moving.

Izabella appeared startled and focused her attention on the stranger-a masculine humanoid-like creature with Gold skin and protruding fangs that resembled those of a big werewolf-who stood at least six feet tall and had flashing predator's eyes. The body of the alien is covered in pure muscle.

He may have noticed Izabella watching him and turned to see where she was. She caught her breath after their extended gaze matched. His eyes were so golden that she was overcome with exhaustion. The extraterrestrial figure was positioned near the tree's corner. He was looking at her while observing the surroundings around the pool.

Was that the same golden alien I met years ago? She pondered. But what on earth was that odd creature doing inside the mansion? She wondered as she moved back to avoid his gaze. But out of curiosity and disregarding the rapid beat of her heart, she glanced down and saw him point his finger at the pool lamp, which then exploded to produce flames and smoke.

When all the lights went out, Izabella's instinct took control, and she sprinted to the bedroom door. He could hear footsteps as she ran up the stairway while avoiding people.
