บททั้งหมดของ The Bet (The Female version of Christian Grey): บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

[KHALI] Being mad is an understatement of what I feel right now. I was scared last night, afraid that she’s going to end the contract. I was in the Casino when she texted me that she wanted to end the contract. I inquired as to her whereabouts, but she did not respond. I tried calling her several times, but she never returned my calls. Luckily, I saw Reese’s post on her SNS; I’m not a stalker type, but I do keep track of all the people connected to Jane. I saw Reese posted a photo of herself and Jane in a club, and I know very well where that club is. So I left the Casino to Hannah and drove straight to that club owned by one of the Mob's members. Yes, N'drangheta owns that club as well. I almost broke the speed limit, but it didn't matter; I was there in less than 5 minutes. I didn't know where to look for her when I got inside; she could be on the dancefloor right now, or she could be at the bar ordering another round of drinks, or she may be in th

[KHALI] A day became three; three days became a week. I gave her time; I let her be. The moment she went out of the door, while Reese’s car horn was honking outside. I knew I should give her more time to think. She sent me a message, and I just agreed to what she wanted. It was partly my fault. My rage and frustration got the best of me. I didn't consider her limitations; I should have thought about that. But she can’t end the contract, I am the only one who has the authority to do that, and I have no intention of doing so.  I waited for her to call me, but she never did. Within a week, I never heard anything from her. I can only know what she’s been up to from the person I hired to look after her. I don't care if I appear to be a weird stalker; I need to keep her safe, especially from Nicholas.  Hannah told me that Nicholas Terranova became more invincible when he met this person who financed all of his businesses. It's not difficu

[KHALI] My life is like a bus trip. There were so many routes and stops, and between those stops, I met new people, those people that I thought would stay permanently in my life. They never stayed, though. Either they abandoned me, or I was forced to abandon them. Another heartbreaking, dull, pointless halt, followed by another. I often wonder when I'll arrive at my final destination. When am I going to quit looking for folks and hoping they'll stick with me? But then it dawned on me that perhaps I am the only one who can decide when I should quit. When I finally found the fulfillment I'd been searching for all these years. But how can I do that, when every time I get to decide who should I spend my final stop with, I started to get scared. I cowered and pushed them away. I drew a line between us. For a brief period, I realized that I was the one shoving them away because of the horrible trauma Carmine Crea had inflicted on me. I turned into a jerk,

[JANE]It’s been a week since that terrible incident happened. It’s been a week since the endless longing started. Right after I was rescued and after Khali almost lost her life for saving me, she fell into coma. It’s been a week now and she’s not waking up. Every day I come to the hospital to look after her. I never lose faith and hope that she’ll wake up soon. Every night I cry in silence, blaming myself for what happened. It’s my fault that Khali’s not waking up now, it’s my fault that she almost got killed. Jey keeps on telling me that it’s not my fault, she remained strong but I know she’s broken inside. There’s no assurance that her best friend is gonna wake up again. The doctor said that Khali should have woken up but it must be the impact on her head when she fell to the ground that affected her state. She had a large bruise on the right side of her head and on her forehead, and a great

[JANE] When I regained my consciousness, the doctor asked me to take a rest for a while. At first, I didn’t agree because that means I won’t be able to visit Khali for a few days. Jey and Khali's parents, on the other hand, were adamant, and they assured me that they would take care of Khali. Even though it was against my will, I took a three-day rest. Reese stayed with me the whole time. She cooked for me, took me for a walk in the park, and made me laugh when I was crying again. This endless nightmare is killing me. The feeling of not having Khali around is enough to make me want to die. “I miss her, Reese,” I muttered under my breath. She brushed my hair as she tried to put me to sleep. My eyes were closed, and all I could hear was her lovely gentle voice humming a melody not too familiar to me. But it sounds soothing that my eyes started to close due to drowsiness. “You’ll see her tomorrow,” she said. I couldn't help but smile as I envisi
