Chapter 16

Immediately Claire packed the car in front of a very swell building, I got out .. rushed to her side and opened her door for her, helped her out and began to lead her inside in very hurried steps.

"Le.." Claire called stopping me in front of a door, I turned to look at her  but she didn't say anything .. she's just standing there looking at me worriedly. I kiss her on the forehead then smile at her as I tell her once again that our baby is alive so there's hope before opening the door and stepping inside.

Immediately I stepped inside, I took in a deep breath before moving to stand in front of my current nightmare but he doesn't look like a bad person, if anything .. he looks innocent.

I use my left hand to lift his face up so that I will beg him why looking him in the eyes to please tell me where my baby is but what happened immediately when his eyes met mine surprises me.

He began smiling as he mouthed my name, for some reason I feel like he would have pulled me to him if his two hands weren't tied up.

"Amore mio, oh mio dio! il mio amore." He said excitedly which made me so angry .. how dare he!?

"Non sono il tuo amore, pazzo! Dov'è il mio bambino? dov'è il mio bambino.."[I'm not your love .. you lunatic!! Where's my baby? Where's my baby..] I yelled angrily then began crying when I realized that I'm speaking with a lunatic. When Claire wrapped her hands around me, I saw his eyes change from loving to betrayed then back to loving when I pushed Claire's hand away from mine. I don't even know why I did that but I guess I did it just to prove to myself that I wasn't seeing things.

"Ti amo." He said to me but I didn't say anything because I don't know what to say to him. He looked so pathetic and some of the reasons are because of his injuries, they really tortured him so badly and still yet he didn't say anything useful.

"Tu mi ami!" [You love me] He said.

"Sei pazzo.." I whispered while looking at him with so much anger, I didn't intend for him to hear what I just said .. I just said it because that's what I really think he is but he heard me and for some reason, I feel sad that he did and his betrayed look is back on.

I lean my body on Claire's, wanting so badly to cry again because nothing is happening. He isn't saying anything useful and the ones he's saying are very depressing.

I watch mom whisper something to Donald and after Donald begins ushering us all out of the room to another room. After Donald closed the door, the family detective walked up to me and said to me that he wants me to go in and talk to Noah privately and that in between talking that I should ask him without him knowing of my real intention .. where Jane is?

"While doing that, use English so that I can be able to hear what you two are saying through the telecoil. " He said but Blair said no that I shouldn't because if I do he'd know that I'm playing him.

"He's your home boy, you two have known each other since birth and the only language you two speak when around each other is your home language, why then speak English to him now .. unless something is up or you don't remember which you don't but it's better he doesn't know that."

I guess I could do that but the look on Claire's face has me worried. 

I take her hands in mine and ask her what the problem is, she hugged me while telling me to be careful and not to let all he says get to my head and I smile at her then give her a quick kiss on the lips before exiting the room.

"For my baby." I said in my mind for strength as I entered the room which had Noah in. I walk up to him then sit beside him not knowing how to begin.

"Just play like you love him Leila." I said to myself, then take a deep breath in and then out. 

"Te amo." I whispered to him while touching his face and that got me a full wide smile.

"Te amo sempre di più!" [I love you more and more!] He yell happily.

"Amore mio, sono triste." [My love, I'm sad] I said while faking tears which is not so fake as I'm indeed troubled .. I'm worried that this may not work.

"La mia bellissima Lily, cosa ti rende triste?" [My beautiful Lily, what makes you sad?] He asked.

"Mia figlia .. Jane, quelle persone mi hanno detto che la porterai via da me, perché lo faresti? [My daughter .. Jane, those people told me you will take her away from me but what I don't understand is why, why will you do it?]

"Non lo farò.." He started to explain but I didn't let him .. not quite yet.

"Perché dovresti provare a portarmi via il mio bambino? Ti amo! Ti amo .. Perché? perché.. non capisco." [Why would you try to take my baby away from me? I love you! I love you.. Why? why.. I don't understand."] I said while crying profusely.

"Stanno mentendo a te! nostra figlia Jane è salva, è ancora con la sorella Shasha a Pompei ... non ricorda VII, vicino a Phillips. Amore mio, amore mio." [They're lying to you! Our daughter Jane is safe, she's still with sister Sasha at Pompeii .. remember no VII, near st Phillips. My love, my love..] He said and then I found myself smiling a full wide happy smile.
