Chapter 106Ryan’s point of view I stepped into room and was instantly subjected to their mass gazes. My mom, two sisters, plus my two uncles. One in bed, the other standing next to him. My eyes traveled through each of their faces, nothing much to read from their mysterious expressions, and I could wonder why the room pulsed with tension. “Uncle. Nice to see you.” I pasted a smile as I walked over to the man standing next to the one in bed. I stretched forward my palm for him to take and respond to my greeting. His gaze grew sour as he directed a glare at the palm stretched across him. “Nice?” His tone was aggressive, as well as the look in his eyes. I took back my palm and instead of giving attention to whatever animosity he came with, I look down at my other uncle that was in bed as I went closer to him. “I’m so glad you’re awake, and I’m very sorry this happened to you,” I totally shunned out the uncle that’s pissed with me for no reason. If he wants to be pissed, he could
Chapter 108Sebastian’s point of view I had to drop Ryan off at the hospital and bade him bye. I didn’t specifically let him know where I’m off to, and he wasn’t curious enough to ask. It is time for me to get to the root of this all. To know who is behind the identity of Matthew Simmons. Although I’ve been given a name, but Ryan’s little info on the name suggested a fishy gameplay. There’s no sense to why the godfather of his contracted wife would be after his life and mine, not even an ounce of sense. We don’t know him, and I’m sure he’s never heard of us either. I mean except from the news or blogs, he’s never had a personal or private contact with us ever. Soon we arrived at the location I’ve secured for the purpose of what I’m about to do. It wasn’t a new location, it’s the same warehouse where I was forced to kill my brother. He could have been alive if he hadn’t for once been a villain of my story. Him and I could have been exactly what he wanted us to be during the la
Chapter 104 Ryan’s point of view For some reason, Seb remained calm. His breaths hadn’t turned ragged like mine, and there was no traces of panic in his eyes. How could he be calm? We’re literally expected to drive into our deaths. How the fuck do we get out of this? “We need to jump out,” I suggested, not minding how crazy that sounds. What could we possibly do? Seb already tried the brake, the hand brake, and the emergency brake, none of which were functional because the killer planned a meticulous attack. “Breathe Ryan, breathe!” Seb managed to mutter while his face stayed glued to the road. It’s like he couldn’t afford to keep his attention off his road, even though that wouldn’t help the inevitable. “We need to fucking jump out. I’m jumping out!” “No!” He snapped as he took a glance at me. “Calm down. You’re not jumping out.” The ride ducked to the side in a way that affected us, and only then did I realize that Seb has managed to drive off the main road and was

Chapter 103 Sebastian’s point of view We haven’t gotten that far when a phone call rang into our session. It wasn’t my phone, and Ryan nearly cussed out whoever was it that chose now as the time to dialed his contact. Though his anger faded when he retrieved his phone and announced that it was his mother calling him. I could watch as he conversed with his mother on the phone. Savoring the sight of him, and the essence of this moment. “Mom just called to let me know that my uncle and aunt are awake from coma,” he said to me just as he was dropping the phone off his ear. “That sounds like a good thing?” He had a moody expression on, and I’m curious on what it’s about. “I have to go. Mom and Vee are on their way there, and they were asking me to come join them. It’s important that I go, and hurts me that I’ll have to cut our date short.” Now I see why he’s moody. “I understand. Let’s go,” I told him as I began to pack up. The purpose of today was to get him to forgive me and si
Chapter 102 Ryan’s point of view “Keep your eyes closed….” Seb’s voice drawled from my behind while his palms literally veiled my eyes. “Your hands are doing the job already. I’m blind. Aish!” I groaned after I nearly tripped, but he dropped a palm off my eye so he could guide my body back on the right path. “Are we there yet?” Peak curiosity laced my tone as he continued pushing me forward. Seb had lit up the moment he heard our family date has been postponed for the sake of his arrival. That left me with no excuse to skip whatever plans he’d made for us today. He led me to his car afterwards, drove us here and wouldn’t allow me use my vision because he supposedly had a surprise packaged for me. “Alright fine, you can go ahead and open your eyes now.” He said, followed by the freedom that comes with his palms leaving the soft surface of my eyes as I finally regained my sight. I looked around, in front of me was a picnic set up in the most beautiful garden I’ve ever se
