*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
Evangeline’s POV Humming to my favorite song as I fold mine and Alex’s clothes were my daily routine now. Alex did tell me that I didn’t have to do anything here but that will be so boring. He also assign a personal maid for me which I thought was not necessary at all. So, I often just ask her to do her job with her other friends. There is nothing she could do for me. I don’t really have that much to do so, mostly I would just clean the bedroom myself or read some books. The maids and Lee were surprised when I asked them where the cleaning tools were and told them I wanted to clean the master bedroom myself. They seemed afraid, which I guess to Alex, and told me politely repeatedly that was their job to do. Alex asked me about it and I told him, I don’t want anyone to enter our bedroom. It’s my privacy and his. So, I want the one who can enter this room to be either me or Alex. He agreed, with so many conditions on it. If I am tired, I don’t have to do it. If I feel not well, I d
Alexander's POV"I know, I lied to you. I'm sorry..." The guilt I felt for the things I hide from her was obvious.I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer even though she was already so close to me.The idea of her immediately hating me for this haunted me and made me tighten my grip on her little waist. Though I was still careful enough not to hurt her."Alex... Will you let him go?"Her little voice came into my ears like a melody and sighed looking at her innocent angelic face."No." I answered her.We stared at each other like this while in my wicked mind, asked the question how could I be so lucky to have this little angel in my arms."Then... Why are you keeping him this whole time?" She whispered, her eyebrows knitted as she was asking me this question.I caressed her soft cheek with my thumb. She is so delicate and fragile. So fucking innocent that I didn't have the heart to say things what had I done with that bastard."Baby, I don't think you want to hear that...""Please
