Leo’s POVThe look on her face was something that I already predicted.Disbelief, full of questions and panic.How did I know about their plan, how did I know about their true intention behind all of her sacrifice to be back here.How did I know her being pregnant with that fucking jerk’s child!How did I didn’t know about that? Tsk.. for fuck sake. She really thinks I am that stupid, huh?“H-how did you know about that?” Her voice trembled and she wince in pain.From the look on her delicate face and how she bent her knees, the one that cause the pain must be her stomach.As much as I don’t want her to be in pain. That was one of my goals here.She will be pregnant. With my child. Not him.I will be the one who put my children inside her. Not him.I am the one who cares a lot about her. Not that rich, ungrateful, spoiled Wayne. Their habit is abandoning children from a woman like her. I knew that.“Of course, I know. I know you, Eva…” I said to her slowly.“Yet, you still treat me ba
The room was filled with silence as Evie didn’t say a thing and Leo was busy with his own thought after his last words. Leo was remembering the hard days when he was a young boy and went to public school, one of his schoolmates knew about him being born in a mental hospital, and they mocked him and bullied him to the point he didn’t want to go to school anymore. Teachers and other older people that supposed to help him, stayed silent, even though they knew how badly the others treated him at school. They told him that, it was the truth and there was nothing that they could do about it. He felt so helpless. His uncle, Harry was the one who still cared a lot about him, he gave him the motivation to keep coming to school and he did. With struggles and shame on his face every single day. He chuckled when he remember he finally found the instant solution for that. “Eva, do you know what they call me at school after they found out that I was born in a mental asylum?” She shook her head
*Back to Alexander, after Evie and Leo left the asylum hospital building.*Five guards along with three doctors and three nurses were standing in front of the huge iron door. They were not making any entrance yet because the doctors' and nurses’ legs and feet were trembling already.“What do you think happen inside?” a nurse whispered to her friend.“I don’t know. No one guards inside, so no one gets hurt except for Mr. Gilard.” He answered.“Cut the crap, just quickly end this. I’m getting nervous any second.” One of the doctors said which was greeted with laughter by the guards.“Fucking pussies. Why are you so scared? He is just a weak man. You got the drugs, inject him with it and you are done, don’t be so cowardly about it.” Said one of the guards.“Weak? How can you say that to someone that beat the shit out of Leonard Gilard to a pulp?” A nurse reacted to him with her high tone. She was so scared and didn’t want to see another victim like her friend the other day.“Don’t worry
“Do you think that this is the right time to talk and have tea together?! Call John and tell him to blow up their fucking head!! Fucking Gilards! John talk to the enemy and let my baby suffer alone?!” Alex abruptly turned around and snapped at Lee. His eyes were bloodshot, and raging anger flow within him. Lee and their other men were all stopped in their tracks and gulping down their nervousness. Alexander’s aura intimidating even more than his father's. “Master, John will never let the young lady get hurt,” Lee said politely. He stood straight, his head held high, but her eyes didn’t dare to look at his master directly. Alex snorted in annoyance but he didn’t say anything more about it. He turned around and walked fast to exit the damned building. He knew better not to slow down any second now, Evie needs him. After they all got, Alex was already in front of his car. “Boss, ready for the blow-up.” Roger approached him, he was holding the bomb activate button. Alex looked at it
“Uncle Harry?” Leo looked at him, frowning. But soon, he smiled and acted like he was doing something content to his liking. “Look! I’ve told you before, I save her.” He pointed at the paled, fragile girl on the bed. Harry run towards the bed and in a nervous state checklist if she was still breathing. Fortunately, she was breathing, but it was too weak that he almost thought that she died already. Harry sighed in relief but soon he stood straight and glared at Leo who was still smiling and humming, caressing the girl’s head so lovingly. Harry cursed lowly and grabbed his nephew's arm tightly. “We need to get out of here, now!” He yelled at him impatiently. “What? Why?” Leo frowned. He was still standing in his place and didn’t move a bit from his uncle pulling. “For God's sake, Leo! What is going on inside your mind now?! Stop making it like all this is fine! You are in trouble, I am in trouble! If we don’t go now, we die here!” Harry was panting. He still remembers the wa
“What?” The doctors panic and quickly stepped closer.But then, the other nurse who was calmer with the situation placed her two fingers on Evie’s neck to check her pulse.“Wait… It’s there, but it’s so faint I can’t barely feel it.” She said, looking at her colleagues.All of them sighed in relief but then quickly move to save the young lady who laying almost lifelessly on the bed.Thirty minutes later, Alexander made it to the wooden house. The poor, frightened man drove the car at unbelievably high speed. He couldn’t stop trembling even though they already arrived at their destination. The feeling when the gun pressed on the side of his head was there until now.Alex got out of the car as soon as the car stopped.“Evie!” He screamed, calling out to her.Everyone was in relieve when he saw him finally come. But then, the tension came back as they couldn’t imagine what will Alexander do when he saw her current condition.“Evie!” He barked into the house.John rushed to him and tried
Alexander’s POV I pressed my lips onto hers a little bit longer this time. Brushing her soft lips slowly before smooching them repeatedly. God, I miss her so much. “Baby, wake up soon. I miss you.” I whisper against her cheek. She was not as pale as I saw her a few hours ago. But she was still so weak. We were not in that damn house anymore. We were here in the mansion. After her condition was stable, I asked Lee to prepare the helicopter and brought her out of there. We left the wooden house. I told some of my men to stay there but not to do anything with it. Because I already have a great plan for my so-called bastard brother. I looked at my Evie again. She must be through so much and all of these were my fault. I was the one who brought her with all of this mess. She is so innocent, my angel is so pure. She didn’t deserve any of this. I brushed her hair away from her beautiful face. Run my finger on the soft pale skin on her cheek, to her chin, neck, shoulder, hand… Not onl
“I told you to get on the ship.”Harry Gillard spoke with his eyes staring nowhere. The tone was showing no emotion left in him.He was helpless.“Then what? Leave you behind?” Leo snickered looking at him.Harry was changing their plan on their way to the airport. He dropped Leo in the harbor and told him to go with one of the commerce ships. Using their private property will be too obvious.In this plan, Leo will go on board by ship and Harry by plane. They will meet overseas and start a new life there. It will not be easy. But they need to try.But here they were now, sitting on the seat of a moving car truck with both of their hands cuffed on their back and facing each other.Roger and his men found them when they were hiding and bickering at the harbor.No matter what, Leo will never leave his uncle behind.“This is my end. Kill him for me.” Leo sighed and closed his eyes.Obviously. He lost this game. But he didn’t die yet. Maybe he still got a little chance to crush his dear br
