Chapter 28

Elena was looking at them a few feet away. She wasn't an idiot and she could

see Kai had feelings for this woman. She looked down not knowing what to do.

Joshua : I'm sure you were amazing with my son he smiled I have an announcement too louder Everyone listen !

The guests looked at him.

Joshua : As you know, my son as been on the seas for the past two years but now he is back.

Some people clapped their hands.

Joshua : he walked to Elena His fiancée is as delighted as you are and I can tell you the wedding is on its way he brought Elena to Kai

Elena : Good evening.

Kai didn't smile or answered. He was upset at his father for this trap. A few

women circled the couple to congratulate them for the wedding. Bonnie took

advantage of this moment to leave the room. She couldn't face this or handle

the situation. This wasn't her place. Joshua's message was loud and clear. She

went back in the room she was in earlier with Josette. She closed the door and

cried. She knew she needed an escape plan.


Kai : Josette, help me, I don't know where Bonnie is.

Josette : I think I saw her going upstairs. She was shaken.

Kai : I need to see her ! She can't believe what father said he made his way to the stairs

Elena : Malachai !

Kai : Not now, Elena.

Elena : We need to talk and if you respect me even a little, you will do that.

Kai : he sighed Fine. Let's go somewhere private.


Elena : Who is this woman ? The ebony one ?

Kai : Eh...

Elena : The truth, please.

Kai : I love her and I know it's bad in your opinion because I was supposed to marry you.

Elena : Bad ? We are engaged and you ran off on the seas. I thought that if I gave you some time you would come back. Now you're here but with another woman you claim you love when you're supposed to love me !

Kai : I do love you but not in the way you want. You are my friend.

Elena : You don't want to marry me.

Kai : he shook his head No, sorry.

She left the room quickly without another word. Oh Kai, you're such an idiot,

he thought. He felt bad for hurting her but he needed to find Bonnie. He

climbed the stairs quickly and went in Jo's old room. It was empty.

Kai : Bonnie ?

He searched the room as if she was hidden somewhere. He found a letter

addressed to him on the table.


Dear Malachai,

I can't handle this situation. I thought that I could be strong but this is not my

place. I don't belong to your world. I think you should marry Elena. I swear

that I do love you but sometimes love isn't enough. One more thing before I

leave. I am carrying your child and I will raise the baby. What I really need is

to find my roots.

Goodbye

Bonnie


The ink was still fresh and he could see the spots where her tears fell down. It

took him a few minutes to realize what happened. She was gone !


Marcos : What do you mean she left ?

Kai : She went to find Bonnaventure.

Marcos : We don't even know where that is.

Kai : Actually it's not true. Bonnie and I did some research on the maps I have on the ship.

Marcos : And ?

Kai : It's an island along the shore of Canada.

Marcos : She's going there.


A young boy was walking towards the harbor. He was wearing black clothes

and a big hat to hide the long hair. Bonnie. She hid the dress and the earrings in

the kitchen before stealing a male outfit. Someone grabbed her shoulder and she

jumped up.

Man : Where are you going, mate ?

Bonnie : in a deep voice Looking for a ship that goes to Canada.

Man : You're young.

Bonnie : And ? I worked on a ship before. Kitchen.

Man : My captain is looking for workers. Do you have the shoulders for that ?

Bonnie : Ay.

Man : Good then.

She thought she would avoid heavy working to protect her baby.
