Semua Bab GOING TO LOSE YOU FOREVER: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Sebastian smiled. "Oh, darling, I don't think—know."Her breast hardened with rage fighting to be in charge of the hunger consuming her breast. He was too arrogant. Too sure. And that scared her more than anything."You can't hide forever," she spat venomously. "Kc and I will give you evidence enough to send you on your merry way.".Sebastian grinned, wrapping his hair around his finger in irritation as if she were a child who just didn't understand, that the game wasn't so played. "Oh, Valeria. You're still stuck on this idea that there is such a thing as justice, aren't you?" He did a dramatic sigh. "But let me just make one thing crystal clear—guys like me? Guys like me don't go to prison. Guys like me make the rules."She forced a swallow back, fingernails across palms scraping. Now," he continued, his voice going to something wintry. "You're going to drop it. You're going to instruct Kc to leave it alone. And you're going to do it smiling." Valeria's aching teeth made her say s

And within the mansion the scene was chaos. Voices screamed snippets of sounds pouring down long, sweeping corridors; shoes skated across marble floors as the guests scuttled in search of crucial shelter; and an atmosphere thickened with burning powder.Valeria's heart throbbed furiously against her rib cage.Kc's grip on her arm was firm—protektiv—but she hardly felt the pressure.Sebastian did not even blink, his smirk never faltering."What is going on here?" Kc growled, scanning the room.Sebastian leaned to one side, his face set. "A bit of nighttime amusement.""People can be killed, you son of a—""Easy, Kc," Sebastian interrupted smoothly. "If I'd had you killed, you'd not be standing there now."Valeria's fists were bunched in her hands. "What do you want from us?" she spat, voice shaking with hardly controlled rage.Sebastian smiled. "Darling, I just said. You'll see."Kc was coming to hit him before a voice crackled in an earpiece in Sebastian's ear. Sebastian's face flexed

The SUV careened down rain-soaked streets, tires screeching on pavement. Restless energy inside crackled like false static. Kim drove, white knuckles clutching the steering wheel. Valeria was beside Kc, fingers clamped to the open gashes on his ribs, trying to stem the bleeding. "You all right?" she whispered.Kc's head lolled a little to hers, his dark eyes hardly a crack. He let out a sour laugh, the sound raw and agonized. "Define okay."Valeria swallowed hard, her throat constricting. She detested this—detested seeing him like this. "You're bleeding too much. We need to have a hospital.""No hospitals," Kim said curtly in front of them, taking a sharp turn that sent Valeria into Kc's side. He flinched, and she automatically held him upright."No hospitals," Kim repeated, her voice firm. "Sebastian's men will be sweeping every ER within a fifty-mile radius. We have to go underground. Now."Valeria's heart raced. She knew Kim was correct, but envisioning Kc in her head—the bruised

Rain pounded the tin roof sloping drunkenly on rusty hinges, and the hollow stone walls of the old chapel reverberated with each movement, each breath, each stillness. Kc sat on a shattered pew, blood clotting on his knuckles, his shirt drenched and scabbed wounds. Pain in his ribs cried out every time he shifted, but all that seemed little now.Valeria stood beside the shattered window, gazing out into the foggy jungle outside. Her arms were clasped tightly around her chest, her eyes reddened but dry, her entire body taut as if it hadn't yet come to terms with the final minute."He's dead," she whispered, as if the saying of it would render it so.Kc didn't say anything. He just turned and walked away, leaving the words to hang. True or false, its force pushed both of them to the ground."I killed him," she went on, her voice empty. "I looked into his eyes. I felt the kickback. I saw him fall."Kc rubbed his face. "And I checked his pulse." He exhaled. "There was none. That son of a g

"I love you"Valeria utteredKc gazed into her eyes and responded, "I love you too."He leaned forward and kissed her passionately. Their lips met, she raised herself on her arms and pulled him tighter. Their flames fueled by the embrace, Kc decided to advance his passion. His tongue pierced through her mouth looking for its match, to discover it in turn. For eternal, wonderful moments they remained so clasped together. Only the pulsing of their hearts counted in their eternal universe.Valeria withdrew from Kc in a flash. She stood panting and backed away from him. Her breath was struggling to catch up with her. She gazed intensely into his wondering eyes. His watery, soft eyes were rich and dark like good brandy. She was losing herself in his stare. She moved her face aside bashfully."I don't believe what you do to me. No one ever did these things to me before."KC leaned forward and tilted her chin towards him. He stared intensely into her eyes. Valeria seemed to shiver in his han
