Chapter 144RONAN“That means both your father and mine are in danger right now. This is bad…” “Do you have any idea where they planned to meet up?” I asked, resting my gaze on a barely calm Gavin. His eyes was cast down at his feet, he had his head bowed and looked really guilty and pitiful.He shook his head.“He never mentioned it. And he left in a haste too…”“Listen Gavin, my dad is already gone. I won't be able to bear another loss. It's would be best if you think harder and try to remember where they are meeting up,” Ivana intervened, rising to her feet and coming to stand right in front of Gavin.“I told you he didn't tell me where,” Gavin grumbled.“Then tell us what you heard. You're fond of eavesdropping on your father. Clearly tiubihewrd something that would serve as a hint….” She narrowed her eyes on him.I just stood by the side, giving her space to do her thing.“Ivana, you…” Dahlia was about to intervene but Brandon and I were quick to shut her up.“Let her,” I mumble
Chapter 143DAHLIA “Ro…Ronan…” I stuttered, looking right behind him only to see Gavin pointing a gun at himRonan turned around to know the cause of my concern. He seemed quite taken aback as he took in Gavin's figure.“What the hell are you doing?” I screamed at him, every inch of me shaking, my heart thumping.“Shut up, Dahlia. Or I won't mind shooting you first. Afterall you brought the Knights into this place. You made them find uncle! You made them kill him when he never did anything wrong and now what? You suddenly want us to welcome someone from that family into our home with open arms. Every other person might be open to accepting him but not me….”“I'll leave with him now, Gavin. Put the gun down…” “It's too late, Dahlia. It's too damn late. My uncle is already dead. I have nothing to lose…”“He isn't your father, Gavin. Stop overacting and put down the gun,” Brandon spoke from behind.“You and I know I was closer to him than you'd ever be. You and I know I had a bad relat
Chapter 142BRANDON Gavin had absolutely no right to confront me that way. I lost my father while he still had his. I was hurting badly but masked it under a fake bravado all to make Ivana keep calm. The both of us can't hurt at the same time. One person had to stay sane to keep the other from going insane and as her older brother I knew I had to be the sane one. Yet Gavin in his twisted mind blatantly concluded that I didn't feel a bit hurt by my father's death. Which son whose father was present his whole life, which son whose father was ever so willing to sacrifice everything for him wouldn't be hurt by his passing.“Don't act all hasty and end up hurting yourself, Gavin. You'd regret it. Take it or leave it,” I told him. “Let's go, Ronan,” I turned to Ronan who had his gaze trailed on me. His eyes held pity and it was one thing I didn't want.“No need to have pity on me, Ronan,” I mumbled, walking over to Ivana's room and unlocking the door.Gavin stood behind me staring at me f
Chapter 141RONANWhen Brandon and I rushed into that room and found Dahlia lying there on the bed, staring at us in confusion. I felt relieved. I visibly shook, trying hard to calm my thumping heart. Brandon and I exchanged glances seeing them lying down there.I rested my gaze on Dahlia's face, trying to figure her out, trying to read her to know what she was up to. But she had a confused expression on her face and even held onto a lamp, staring at both Brandon and I as if wondering why we had rushed into the room and startled them like that.Once we left the room, Brandon locked the door. Before we headed back to the next room.“I don't trust Ivana. They're definitely up to something,” he mumbled.“I don't trust Dahlia right now, either….” “We should keep an eye on them,” I told him, grabbing onto the door handle, about to walk out when he called out my name, making me halt.“Are you sure your grandfather is the one behind all of this?” He asked.I nodded my head.I had done my fi
Chapter 140DAHLIAIvana and I obediently got in the bed like Ronan and Brandon wanted. I wanted to have a conversation with Ivana and to do that, I needed them to leave the room.I wasn't just going to let myself be locked up in some building all in the name of keeping me safe. I've foughtt a lot of battles my whole life. I wasn't was damsel in distress that needed protection. I could be vicious and cunning, it all depends on the situation and the person. Ronan seemed to have forgotten I am a business woman who has faced life threatening situations. He seemed to have forgotten that I took poison and survived it.If I was meant to die early, I would have long died when all these happened. I somehow survived it all and now because of some stupid old man, he wants me to hide. I could only shake my head. I wasn't going to do that. I'd instead confront the old man. “You don't want to stay hidden like some damsel, right?” Ivana asked, the moment the door shut.I shook my head. “Never, I
Chapter 139RONAN“I know a place,” Dahlia said even before Brandon could finish speaking.Everyone's gaze snapped in her direction, mine too, wondering where she was talking about.“Where?” I asked the one question I knew her twin and Brandon were dying to ask.“My old house. It has been locked since forever. No one will ever suspect we'd go there…”“That's too risky…” I waved her off, shaking my head.“You know the most obvious hiding spot is usually the best. That house has been there for quite a while now. It has been empty. I doubt they'll ever think to check it. If we move in there and keep a low profile, then we'd have nothing to worry about…” What do you say Brandon, she looked in Brandon's direction like she knew I'd still object to it.Thankfully, Brandon shook his head.“I don't know, Dahlia. I want you to stay where you'd be safe. Yours and Ivana's safety are my top priority and I can't jeopardise that….”“Do you know a better place,” he asked, looking at Ronan.Ronan stay
