Killing My Ex-Lover のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

I arrived home around 3 o’clock. I make sure to not cause a sound as I head to my room. I change into my pajamas and went to bed but of course, because of that incident, is hard for me to sleep. Heck, I can’t even close my eyes as the memories that I have with Chase came rushing back to me.Tossing and turning for god knows how long, I sighed and decided to train. Hopefully, it will distract me from thinking about my memories with Chase.I changed into my sports attire and head down to the basement. Turning the lights on, I immediately went to the punching bag after wrapping my hands with bandages. I don’t know how long I box until I heard the sound of a bird chirping outside. Wiping the sweat on my forehead, I walked to the fridge and took a bottle of water.Opening the cap, I drink the water. After taking a short break, I continue to train. The sound of footsteps making their way downstairs alert me but I didn’t stop. I keep punching th

I throw some rock at the lake and just stare at the horizon blankly. I switch my gaze to the moon that reflects from the water. I heard footsteps coming but I didn’t turn back, I kept looking at the water. Then I see Blake's reflection from the water.The two of us didn’t utter a single word. Silence surrounded us, only the sound of cricket that we both heard."If you want to ask about what I said, you better not cause I won’t explain anything," I said coldly. I heard Blake sighed."I’m not going to ask anything. I’m here to see if you are okay.""Now that you have seen me, can you please go?" instead of hearing him walk away, he sat next to me. Sighing, I ignore him and continue to throw some rock. "Remember that day when we were in Italy, you sneak out in the middle of the night? Only to find you sitting on the ground staring at the lake?""How can I forget? It has been a week of me staying in that hellhole after Mor

For a whole day, I kept thinking about Chase's words. I’m battling with myself to go or not. A side of me wanted to go another side of me wanted to stay. But I’m curious as to why he wants to meet me. Does he know the reason why I wanted to kill him? Or is this one of his plans to kill me instead."Ruby, what’s with the hanging?" my eyes snapped up to look at Austin who raised his eyebrow. I shook my head and continue with my train. "Nothing, just feeling tired a little.""Wow, this is the first time hearing Ruby is tired." I rolled my eyes. "You’re exaggerating. I may be a mafia puppet but I’m still human too.""Right. So wanna spare?" I stop what I'm doing and turned to a smirking Austin. "Are you sure? Cause the last time we spare, I almost broke your hand." My lips curl up to a smirk. He rolled his eyes. "That was a long time ago. Now, I’m stronger than you.""Okay, if you say so."The two of us are currently

Blake stood in front of me crossing his arms while glaring at me. I got a feeling he will interrogate me like usual. "What’s up?""Where have you been?""Out." I simply said. "Out where to be exact?" I lean back to the car door. "Buying food. I was craving for in and out." "And where is the food?" he said while raising his eyebrow. "I ate it," I said as a matter of fact. "Where is the location of in and out?""Okay, what is this? Why are you asking? Are we playing 20 questions?""I’m just making sure you didn’t go wander around.""Because I didn’t.""But you lied for the past 2 minutes." I let out a

I was almost done getting ready when my door burst open revealing Blake. I rolled my eyes and continue what I was doing. "What do you want?" I said with a bored tone."I suggest you cancel this plan.""And why is that?""You're wrong if you think you are going to pull this. Chase is a smart man and I know he will be one step ahead of you.""Okay, thanks for the heads up. If he is one step ahead of us, then we need to be two steps ahead of him." I said as I reload my gun. "Why do you care anyway? I thought you were the one who didn't want to involve in this plan.""I am but I was only looking out for you. You never know what he has behind his sleeve." Turning around, I face Blake. "That was really touching but that won't change my mind." Grabbing my blazer and bag, I walked out from the room. I already spotted my team in the living room.We have a little briefing then we leave the house at 4. Drake, Matt, and Austin took the van whereas Emily
