"She has been in her room for days since the miscarriage. The maids try to force her to eat but nothing and in the night she keeps crying " the Queen told Xavier.
Gerald sighed, "We all tried but have failed, it's like she turned into a stranger since that day "
The door to Liana's room opened and the maid ran out.
"What is wrong?" the Queen asked.
"My..my la..lady is gone " she stammered.
"Gone? what, where?" Gerald got up following Xavier and his mother inside.
The bed was empty, Xavier searched the room but failed to find her.
"Where did she go? " he turned to the maid.
She looked at the bed still trembling, "I was cleaning her body when she just disappeared, her...hand just vanished from my arms and then the bed was empty " she cried.
Gerald turned to the queen and Xavier, "She finally left, but didn't take me with her " he yelled.
"She left? To where?" Xavier glared.
His mother sighed, "The child was feeding on her soul's power but now that its no more, her body was able to regain its full potential to travel back "
Xavier moved to the bed, his hand feeling the vanishing warmth of the spot where Liana had been laying.
"Was it so painful that she could not stand this place anymore? She had to leave without saying goodbye "
The room fell silent as they watched him hold back his tears.
"I guess am stuck here with you" Gerald moved closer to his friend.
The queen stopped him, "Your not, I can feel her trying to call you back when you return to tell her I will be waiting for her return " she said walking out.
Xavier turned to the stunned Gerald whose face turned to a smile.
"I won't back then since nothing from here will help me on the other side " he chuckled. "Do you have anything to say to her?"
Xavier didn't respond, Gerald sighed and tapped his shoulder. Before Xavier could turn to say something he was gone.
He turned back to the bed, with his tears falling, "I love her " he uttered.
Gerald turned around to see Liana walk up the stairs to her room.
"You can leave," she said closing the door behind her.
He stood there in her apartment for a moment that walked out.
....
Liana soaked her body in the bathtub as tears flowed down her face.
"Ahh, why do I miss my maids " she scoffed through her tears. "Guess I was pampered so much I forgot I was a full-grown woman "
She closed her eyes letting the warm water calm her body.
She called Lucian and Joy after her bath, who rushed over anxiously.
"Where have you been sister?" Lucian held her.
"Somewhere far," she said
Joy clung to Liana crying about how she had missed her.
"When we're so worried after you just disappeared without a word, then after two days you returned but you acted different " Joy said.
Liana frowned, "How long has it been since I left?"
"Well after two days of you disappearing you returned but me and Joy knew something was wrong since you never came home but stayed at the hotel. You acted normally at work but different when we joined you at the hotel "
"So there has been an imposter while I was away, so where is she now?" Liana asked.
"At her hotel, but we didn't tell her we suspected about her identity and now after two weeks you finally call us proving she was an imposter " Lucian explained.
"So someone has been acting like me while I was gone" she scoffed.
