Behind Him Chapter 38
"Oh, God, Vita Mia! I'm so sorry... I'm so, so sorry..." Ezra whispered the words over and over, his voice raw with guilt and sorrow, as he cradled Louelita's frail hand in his own. His fingers trembled against her soft skin, his grip firm yet careful, as though he feared she might slip away if he let go for even a second.Louelita had finally woken up, but the sight of her pale face, her tired eyes-still swollen from crying-only deepened the pain of carving through Ezra's chest. His powerful hands, hands that had brought ruin to enemies, now felt utterly powerless.He had failed her.And because of that, they had lost their child."It's not your fault, Ezra." Louelita's voice was barely above a whisper, hoarse from the hours of tears they had shed together. "I told you already-it's not your fault..."But Ezra couldn't accept that."No, Vita Mia. It is my fault. All of this is my fault." His voice was thick, dark with self-loathing. "I failed to protect you. And because of that..." He

“Get out of my way!”Ezra’s furious voice boomed through the hall, his sharp, commanding tone slicing through the chaos like a blade. He was charging forward, his long strides fueled by urgency, his pulse hammering against his skin. His heart clenched at the sight of the carnage left behind. Bodies littered the ground, their lifeless forms sprawled in unnatural angles. Blood was smeared across the floor and splattered on the walls, staining them with the cruel evidence of the brutal battle that had just taken place.His men were already at work, clearing away the wreckage, moving the bodies, and ensuring that any remaining enemies were dealt with. Ezra barely acknowledged their actions. None of it mattered right now. All that mattered was her. His Lolita.His jaw clenched tightly, his hands balled into fists as he took in the gruesome aftermath. While his side had suffered some casualties, the other side had taken the brunt of the devastation. The few survivors from the enemy’s ranks

“Fuck! Where the hell are these bastards coming from?” Omar hissed under his breath, frustration and urgency lacing his voice. Every word those fuckers had spat at their Queen Lou echoed in his ears. They had heard everything.They were just waiting for the right moment to strike.The rooftop had two entry points—one through the elevator and the other via the stairwell.“Let’s take them down!” Inizio whispered fiercely, gripping his gun tightly.Omar shook his head, his face a mask of disbelief. “We can’t just barge in! We’ll put Louelita in even more danger!” he ground out, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached.“Then let’s do what the boss suggested—distract them,” Inizio countered, his mind already running through possible tactics.Omar’s thoughts were racing. Their priority was Louelita’s safety. They couldn’t afford to let those bastards harm her any further. If anything happened to her, Ezra wouldn’t just kill them—no, he would make them suffer. His fury would be absolute, and th

“Don’t you dare try to follow, or I swear, I’ll end this woman right in front of you!” the man threatened, his voice edged with steel as he slowly backed away, dragging Louelita with him, his arm locked tightly around her throat in a backward chokehold.“Damn it! I can double or even triple your pay! Just let go of my woman!” Ezra barked, his voice low and dangerous, gripping his own gun tightly despite the searing pain of his wound. His vision blurred momentarily, but his resolve remained unshaken.The hired killer barely flinched at Ezra’s offer. Men like him lived by a twisted code—an unbreakable palabra de honor. They always completed their assignments, no matter how long it took. And this job? It should have been finished months ago. Lolita should have been dead.What the assassin failed to realize, however, was that by laying his hands on Louelita, he had already signed his own death warrant. Ezra would make sure his agony was drawn out. He would suffer before he died.“Boss!” P

“Is that how you greet your mother after twenty-five long years?” The woman’s voice dripped with sarcasm, her lips curling into a taunting smile. The statement made Ezra’s jaw clench tightly, his grip on Louelita's hand growing rigid. His entire body radiated fury, muscles coiled like a predator ready to strike.Lolita could feel the tension crackling around them like a storm about to break. She knew that this woman—Ezra’s mother—was a threat to their plans. Every fiber of her being screamed at her to calm him down before things spiraled out of control. She squeezed his hand gently, silently pleading for him to maintain his composure.“If you already knew how I’d react to your presence, you wouldn’t have dared to come here.” Ezra’s voice was dangerously low, each word laced with venom.By now, the surrounding guests had begun to take notice of the tension building between them. The atmosphere in the grand ballroom had shifted, crackling with unease. Ezra’s men stood on high alert, the

“Are you sure about this, Ez?” Louelita asked nervously, pacing back and forth in the grand suite. Her hands kept adjusting the intricate folds of the gown she was wearing, a nervous habit she couldn't suppress.The woman was draped in a stunning modern Filipiniana-style black ball gown, its fabric cascading elegantly to the floor, adorned with exquisite gold beading that shimmered under the soft lighting. Every stitch of the dress had been carefully designed to complement the regal presence she was about to command. Around her neck and ears gleamed a set of diamond jewellery, gifts from Ezra. He had provided her with everything she could ever need, and though she still struggled to accept the extravagance, she couldn’t deny the beauty of it all.Their outfits had been meticulously coordinated—her gown perfectly complementing Ezra’s sharp black tuxedo, making them look like royalty about making a grand entrance.The entire setup was complete. Tonight was the night their plans would un

The harassment from her parents has happened multiple times now. Again and again, they kept showing up, beseeching, pleading, and trying to manipulate her into giving in. Louelita was exhausted. She was so tired of facing them, tired of hearing their desperate excuses, especially now that they were practically on their knees, groveling to avoid prison. Ezra stood in front of her, as usual, his imposing figure shielding her from the two wretched people who had the audacity to call themselves her parents. His sharp, icy stare bore into them, utterly unimpressed by their theatrics. It was a Sunday morning, a time when most couples would be enjoying a peaceful moment together. But not them. Not when these people refused to let her be. “We don’t want anything to do with you two.” Ezra’s voice was calm, but the venom in his tone was unmistakable. “For people like you, jail is the best option. You only have yourselves to blame for selling and using drugs.” He rolled his eyes in disgust.

Louelita felt like she was floating on air as they arrived at Ezra’s house. She couldn’t stop smiling, even in the presence of other people. It was as if nothing else mattered in that moment, as if the world had faded into the background.Ezra had confessed his feelings for her.She sat in the garden, basking in the afterglow of that revelation, waiting for him to return. He had temporarily retired to his office, but he had assured her that he would return by three in the afternoon. She had been enveloped in a dreamy haze since they had arrived in the Philippines at precisely noon, and she had been giggling to herself like a fool as she consumed her lunch.“Our Queen Lou is in a fantastic mood,” Vito teased, grinning at her knowingly.Louelita responded with nothing but a dreamy smile, her mind still stuck on Ezra’s words.“It seems like we don’t exist in her world right now, brother,” Primo added, shaking his head in amusement.Despite the bruises and split lips they had suffered fro

Since they arrived at his father’s house, Louelita had been hugging Ezra. This house was in the middle of nowhere, and it was guarded by a large number of guards. Ezra decided to spend the entire night here because it was too arduous for his wife.After introducing Louelita to the old man, the old man and Louelita spoke with each other. Even though the old man looked stern, his heart was soft, especially to those like Louelita.“Cazzo! You shouldn't just shoot them in the back of the head. They nearly auctioned off my daughter-in-law! Tell me you didn’t just leave that building without destroying it?!” The old man was also very supportive of his son and was not impoverished.Louelita only listened and only answered when the old man spoke to her. She trusted only Ezra, so the man’s father understood why Louelita was like this.Ezra had also explained and told his father about the woman on the phone. Ezra’s father was also the one who enlightened the man about his feelings for Louelita.
