#Book 2 Chapter 23
“Where are those two?” Lem asked whoever was speaking through his earpiece while he continuously dragged my body like a toy.
I had nothing to do but stare into nothingness.
Even the pain on my body is making me numb all over.
I felt relieved that Keian came for me. But then I realized his safety is at risk. Their safety is at stake.
They might get harmed…
“Are they crazy? Hadn’t it crossed their minds that I could kill you anytime I wanted? Hahaha” I wanted to smirk at his face since I know Keian and the others have a plan up their sleeves, but I stayed quiet.
Later, we arrived at a parking lot of some sort.
There aren’t any people around.
Alive people, I mean.
All of them are unconscious bodies.
And that’s where I saw Keian and Tito Andre, who are both holding guns in their hands.
” Lem!” I heard Keian shouted.
Lem lets go of his grip on my hair, so my head dropped to the ground.
I felt dizziness, but I still managed to gaze up to check on Keian.
He gritted his teeth when he saw me.
And when our eyes met…
It’s like he’s in pain.
His cold expression softened while still looking at me.
I tried to force out a smile, but a tear rolled down from my eye.
The minute Keian saw that, his vision darkened. The grip on his gun tightened while pointing it at Lem.
” We have what you want,” said Tito Andre and threw a bag in our direction without hesitating. Tito’s aura is awfully so dark. This was the only time I got to see him like this.
Lem narrowed his eyes at the bag.
“Do you think I would let myself fall for your tactics? This is not how you normally think! I know you have a plan up your sleeves…” Lem shouted and smirked.
” Hahaha! I know what you’re planning” Lem made me stand up, and he points the gun at my temple.
My heart was racing like crazy, and I saw Keian and Tito Andre’s eyes widened with fear.
” You won’t fool me! Hahaha! Good thing I have plan B” I heard the sound of a click, and suddenly something exploded like some atomic bomb.
Keian started running towards me because Lem pulled me away to trap me through a door.
Keian stopped when the ground they’re standing on suddenly became unstable.
I got extremely nervous.
“W-What are you doing?” Lem just smiled at me, and before we could enter through the door completely, I saw the cemented ground where Keian and Tito Andre stood, breaking apart from us.
My eyes widened almost immediately.
” No!” Keian took a final glance at me before they fell down due to the ground breaking on their spot.
Whereas what was left was the land where Lem and I stood.
” Keian!” I yelled with a breaking voice.
That’s where I realized we’re actually in a high place.
It’s like there was an earthquake and their ground suddenly collapsed except for ours.
It’s like I was stabbed in my chest.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
They could be s covered and killed by rocks or cement.
They came from a high place, and they could die because of the impact of their fall. A lot more different scenarios started playing in my mind…
And all of them aren’t nice.
And then, I finally found some strength within me.
I grabbed the gun from Lem, twisted his arm, and hit his body hard against the nearest wall.
“Where are they!?” He laughed like a lunatic.
“They’re probably dead by now or maybe crushed by rocks and cement, broken bones here and there. They wouldn’t see the next sunlight after that.” That’s where I lost my strength again after feeling a different level of painfulness and sat down.
Lem sighed and watched me curse and cry in pain.
” Oh, Nass.” He knelt down and held my chin to make me look up to him.
“You should’ve done that, now look what just happened to you.” After saying those words, he slapped me hard on the face.
—
Here I am, all alone in the white room once again.
Imagine the feeling of being kicked multiple times that caused yourself to lose your child and seeing the most important person in your life fall down and could possibly be dead by now…
It’s like I’ve been stabbed many times to the point I feel numb because of the pain. It’s like that. That’s what I’m feeling right now.
The guilt, sadness, anger all mixed together resulted in me staring into nothingness, thinking I’m bound to live like this forever.
Seems to be a good feeling to have and live like this forever…
I sighed and shook my head. Then my hands reached to my belly.
I realized that after I’ve been kicked at earlier, a doctor came to me while I was unconscious and treated me. That’s where he removed the fetus from my womb.
I still can’t believe that Lem would do this…
Just because he wasn’t qualified for the high rank that he wanted?
And just because he didn’t get to feed his family due to him being jobless, and he’s got the nerve to blame all of them on Keian’s family?!
My fist clenched.
Why would he have the nerve to do all that just because of a selfish reason?
I can’t understand him…
*thud*
I heard some crashing sounds by the door of the room, so I turned to face it.
Huh?
A few minutes later, the door opened, and in came who seems to be one of Lem’s allies.
But why do I sense that he looks awfully familiar?
“Nass!” He went over to me and checked on my condition.
Even his voice is familiar.
” Oh, my ghad Nass are you okay?!” I looked at him, confused as ever. His face is covered. How should I know?
He noticed my puzzled expression, so he removed the cover on his face and held both of my shoulders together.
” Kuya?” I softly stated.
He winced probably because of the sound of my weak voice.
” I’m sorry I’m unable to save you earlier, Nass” he clenched his fists.
“If I only saved you sooner, then it shouldn’t have…” His mouth spoke directly while looking into my eyes.
He sighed, and we both wrapped ourselves in each other’s arms.
” I’m sorry, Nass” I gladly returned the gesture to him.
” It’s not your fault, Kuya” he drew away from me.
” Nass. I’ve been spying on this organization for days. I’m so useless. When I figured about their plan, it was all too late.” I glared at him.
” Stop it, Khalil. I’m not blaming you” he narrowed his eyes at me, but he just nodded towards the door.
” Let’s get you out of here” I also nodded.
” Can you stand?”
” Yes,” he smiled at me as he assisted me up to stand.
I still feel weak, but I didn’t want to cause any trouble for my brother to carry me. I might just be nothing but a hindrance.
Kuya placed his hands around my back and helped me walk.
We went out of the room and went to the right side.
There’s nobody here in the hallway, probably because my brother had already taken them down.
” Are you sure you’re okay?” I reassured him with a smile and slightly nodded.
” And where are you planning to go?” We both stopped in our tracks and looked at whoever just spoke.
Nami…
