#Book 2 Chapter 24
So she’s part of this, huh?
I knew it!
I just didn’t expect Lem would be a part of all this. He’s actually the mastermind…
” Oh, how’s Keian, Nass?” She said in a sweet tone that makes me want to puke.
I gave her a cold stare.
” You loved him, don’t you?” She pouted and even pretended to observe her nails.
I just noticed that she’s actually holding a KATANA.
” Uhhmmm, yes. But I already moved on from him a long time ago. It’s more enjoyable if I see him suffer, so I joined Lem” I gritted my teeth.
They are doing all of this just because of those shallow reasons?!
I was about to talk back, but then Kuya Khalil pressed me against the wall to shield me.
” Stay here, Nass. I’ll fight her” Nami laughed, but we ignored her.
” Okay,” I just agreed since I have a hard time moving properly, and like I said before, I might just be a hindrance if I disobey.
He pats my head gently before coming face to face with Nami.
Nami gripped her KATANA and ran towards Kuya, who’s got nothing but a gun.
I was nervous and worried at first, but as I saw Kuya is making much more progress and is stronger than Nami, I was confident at the turn of events.
I closed my eyes the minute I felt my world spinning around, but my eyes ultimately opened when I heard a voice.
” Wahhhh!” My eyes widened.
Is that…
Brylle?
I took a step closer to the place where I possibly heard Brylle’s voice.
” Nass!” My attention was so focused on where Brylle’s voice could be that I didn’t mind responding to Kuya Khalil calling me.
Then I felt my hair being pulled harshly by no other than Nami.
Rage suddenly ran through my veins, so I held her wrist and twisted it around her back. Suddenly having energy again.
” Ahhh!” Kuya went over to us, gripped the KATANA at Nami, and pointed it right at her.
” Where were you going?” Kuya asked me.
” I think I heard Brylle’s voice” he furrowed his eyebrows.
” What? But that’s impossible, he’s— wait, Nass!” I started walking back to where Brylle’s voice came from.
” I’ll just check! Then I’ll go back here after making sure!” I know Kuya wouldn’t just let Nami go. He needs witnesses for his agency…
” Ah— damn it! Nass!” I faced Kuya and saw he threw a gun at me.
I easily caught it.
” Just make sure you won’t die” I nodded at him as if it wasn’t a big deal and continued on walking.
I sure do hope what I heard isn’t Brylle. I will never find the heart to forgive Lem if it is Brylle.
He killed our baby, and now he wants to include Brylle in this mess!This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
I took a deep breath because as I took a few steps closer, the more I felt that it is really Brylle.
” Huhuhu”
“Keep quiet!” I hid behind a wall and peeked through where the voices came from.
There stood a man in front of another room where I suppose the crying sounds are being muffled.
Looks like the man was annoyed at the child’s cries, so he took a step back and raised his hand that was about to aim a gun.
My eyes widened, so I immediately shot the man on the head.
Oh geez.
Whoever was inside surely heard what I just did.
I took another deep breath before walking towards the door of the room.
I grabbed the key on the man’s shirt and opened the door.
If my room earlier was all white and bright, this one is pure black and dark inside.
I heard a squeak.
As if he was surprised that someone suddenly barged in here.
” N-no…” I was stopped.
Because of the light coming from the outside, I saw the face of the child.
It is Brylle.
I gasped.
He has a bruise on his face and other parts of his body.
His face is so scared and terrified.
” B-Brylle. It’s okay, it’s me, Mama” I went closer to him, but he just scooted closer to the wall.
I swallowed hard.
He’s so scared that he didn’t even recognize me.
I knelt down in front of him and went closer to the point of hugging him.
He whimpered.
He tried hard to scoot away even further.
I came to check his whole body and sighed a relief as I saw he’s not injured.
I sadly looked at him and tightly enveloped him in a hug.
But he tried squirming away from my grip while screaming.
” Brylle! You’re okay. You’re safe now.” I tightened my arms in reassurance.
My heart aches so much…
It’s Brylle.
It’s really him…
” M-mama?” I slightly drew away and looked at him in the eyes.
” Yes, baby. It’s me” he stared at me and cried once more.
” Mamaaa,” I hugged him back again.
” I-I know Brylle. I’m so sorry,” I said in a shaking voice.
He’s hurt.
Lem, he brought Brylle here.
Why?
Why does he have to do all of this?
Running my fingers through his hair, I let him cry on my shoulder.
” I’m glad you’re here, Mama.”
” Me too, baby…” I hold him until he fell asleep.
” Nass…” I turned my head at the door and saw Erick and Theo.
My eyebrows creased at the sight of them.
” Brylle!” Theo surprisingly said.
” W-What are you doing here?” I asked.
The two men smiled at me.
” When it comes to saving you, all of us should be there…” Theo stated. But then my mind diverted back to what happened earlier.
” B-But Keian and Tito…” They both glanced at each other before Erick stepped forward and lend a hand.
” It’s okay now, Nass. You are safe. Both of you are safe now” I accepted his hand, and he helps me get up while I carry Brylle in my arms.
Erick’s gesture got me confused there, but now’s not the time to worry about that.
” Hah!” The three of us turned to the hallway, where Kuya stopped running the minute he saw us coming.
” Nass! Are you—” Kuya trailed off when he saw my other two companions.
His eyebrows met, but then his eyes landed on Brylle.
” He’s really here” I rubbed Brylle’s back.
” Yes.”
