Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 6

In a beautiful mountains miles away from the city there lies a small town where everyone is living a free life and in that valley near the sparkling springs is a small stunning cottage where a woman lived alone for years now. Nobody in the valley knows where she is from or why she was there all they know is she is gorgeous, a goddess kids might say, pale skin, her long straight brown hair that sways with the  wind, her lovely green eyes and good personality has captured many men from all over the town but she has not paid attention to any of them.

The sun hits her as she walks around the valley in an early morning. "Good day Miss Lav. " Mr. Goodwill who's been taking care of a farm smiles at her sight and she stop by and smiled back. "Good Day to you too Mr. Goodwill! I came here to buy some milk and see how the chickens are. " Mr. Goodwill laughs so loud everyone from the valley has heard it. "Well, as a matter of fact, they have been good and has been laying eggs for awhile now. Wait here. "

Lavender smiles at the sight of the old man who is hurrying back to his coop, she heave a sighed and look up the bright skies. "Is she doing alright? And him too, he would laugh with joy in this valley is he was here. " As soon as she turns around to watch Mr. Goodwill come back with milk and eggs in hand an SUV passed by.

Inside that SUV is a grumpy Rafael who has been driving for hours while Tyler and the kids are sleeping so peacefully. "If only you aren't my friend, Parker. Aahh so tired. Where are the inns in this Valley? " He stopped the car at some old building in the center of a Town, people stares at he went out of the car waking up Tyler who went out to stretch.

"OH WOW! This place is so beautiful! " He exclaimed making the girls who was batting their eyes at them giggle. "Hi Good Morning, can we ask if there are inns in this valley we can have a rest at? " Rafael goes to an old woman who was sitting in a bench. Exhaustion is visible in Rafael's face "Just around the corner over there. You look so tired. " Rafael smile slightly and thank the old woman.

"Hey Tyler! There's an inn around the corner over there. You drive deepshit. " He throws the keys at Tyler who caught it in time and they both went in and drive towards the inn. Carrying the two kids in their hands they got 2 rooms and went to rest.

"He's so hot! " The girl's started talking about the guys in the SUV all morning that it arrived in Lavender's ear as she passes by. "The grumpy one looks hot as well but the other guy with that wide smile is absolutely a catch! "

"But I've seen them with 2 kids in the inn earlier! Could they be a family? " The girl's eyes widen with realization. "Y-you mean they're....gay? NO WAY! " Lavender snorts that made the girls look at her. "Good Morning everyone. I can't help but hear you guys talk about two guys with kids? What was it about Evelyn? " Evelyn is the wife of the head of the Town, the old woman Rafael has asked earlier.

"Two guys came here and ask earlier for the inn, they have been astonished by those beautiful faces. I think they come from a city far away, the guy who asked me directions looked too tired. Now now! Scatter around you girls and do your stuffs now! Don't spread rumors. " with murmurings the girls scattered and do their job.

Evelyn stared at Lavender being spaced out. "This town is small but those girls have loud mouths. Lav you doing okay? " She snaps out of it and smiled at the old woman. "I just remember some things. I should go now, have a Good Day Eve! " Lav passed by the inn and wondered how she feels so uneasy with the two rumored guys but somehow she feels excited too but disregarded those thoughts and head home with her fresh milk and eggs.

Hazel on the other hand is spacing out as she thinks about Tyler and Lavender meeting. "Haz? Y-you're scaring me. Please...let the g-gun go. " Kath stared at her cousin like she was gonna kill someone. "Tell me Kath. Where the fck are they?! " Her voice is full of anger and uneasiness, she feels like she's going crazy. She scratched her arm until it bleeds out that made Kath gasp.

"I..I really don't know, t-they head out earlier...than I thought. Rafael didn't mention...anything. " Hazel stopped scratching and roam around Rafael's office to see if there's traces left. With a gun in hand she starts to flip pages and folders, looking through everything. "You are so...useless, Kath. Do you know that? Yes, you gave me your child but it's useless. The marriage I had with MY Tyler is fckng FAKE! IT'S FAKE!?! " She then starts to throw everything in the table and scratched her arm once again.

Kath starts to cry in the corner, too scared to run away. The bodyguards has been dismissed earlier when Hazel came to the mansion and somehow Kath regrets doing that. "P-please..Calm down! Y-you need help, Hazel. I..I gave up my child because I thought he could helped you be better, who would've thought you'd get worse. M-maybe it's better for you...to.. let go—"

Her screams cuts of her words as Hazel fires her gun towards her direction and laugh. "I didn't even shoot you but there you go screaming like a fckng psycho! You're so fckng stupid for telling all of those disgusting words to me! I could kill you if I want to but not yet, Kath. Not yet! " She continues to search for clues while Kath is crying and trembling in that little corner.

She found a piece of note hidden in the drawer and read it.

'We need to go to Lavender.

Take care of yourself

I love you.

-Raf'

She stares at her trembling cousin and went towards her. "Oh Kath, I'm sorry, you shouldn't have said those things to me. You know how much precious you are to me. Now tell me, what do you know? " Hazel smiles sweetly but her hand clenched on her gun.
