Chapter 141Closing up on the Truth 2She fired the gun to his ear, silencing him."Mila?" Brantley screamed and rushed towards her.Everything happened in slow motion.He quickly stood in front of Mila and his father, acting as a shield.He could see the coldness in her eyes.Mr White held his ear. The only thing he could hear was the continuous ringing of bells in his ear. ' I am still alive.' That was the only thing that ran through his mind.When the gun went off, he thought he was dead, then he remembered that if he had died, he'd not get the gunshot sound. He heard the loud sound echo right beside his ears, but it was quickly replaced with the resonating sound of huge bells…probably that in the church.Emille held his breath.Dom was nonchalant about it all, he was fighting his pain, that was enough trouble already.Grandmaster waited for Mr White to drop dead, but he never did. Instead, Mr White only closed his hands over his ears and twisted his body slightly.It immediately o

CHAPTER 143THE REAL KILLER"You have hurt a lot of people, it needs to stop."Dom said with absolutely no remorse."How is is possible?" Emille managed to ask."Do you mean the recording or Dom….?" Brantley asked."Everything!" Let us get out of here, then I'll tell you everything."Hey, are you ok?" Brantley turned to Mila who was still petrified.He knew that it was a lot of information for her to process.She did not reply."How do we get out of here?" Brantley turned to Emille."There's an underground exit from my office leading to the subway. I'll show you, but we'll need a ride for the excess people," Emille said."We'll figure it out." Brantley said."Océane ?" Emille called for Océane as everyone mobilized and began walking."Take down all of The Grandmaster's men!" He ordered.Grandmaster still was daydreaming, 'it could not be happening!'Dom had Grandmaster at gunpoint.Brantley supported Mila by her waist and let her along. She followed like a robot.Mr White too, he was j

"I don't need him to believe anything, I want him to know. I don't care what he thinks…it will not stop me." She whispered menacingly. A sinister smile spread out on her face.It sent chills down everyone's spine.Mila leaned back in her seat quietly. Her eyes hovered on everyone in the room, one after the other.Mr White who sat beside her constantly turned his body slightly to steal a look at her, but he did not say anything. Nobody did.Emille might have been through hell too, but unlike Mila, he'd known the truth for years…technically he'd known all along. But Mila had been lied to, deceived and manipulated all along. She needed time to process everything.They sat there in silence for about 10 minutes, even troublesome Brantley knew better than to interrupt the moment. It was all about Mila tonight.Exactly 25 mins later, Carlson pulled up. Freya led him in."You look damn badass tonight." "Thank you." Freya smiled.Carlson complimented Freya just before she closed the main door.

"You are right…" Pop's voice drew everyone's attention."Power is what I have and you don't!"He fired the gun."Noooooooo!""Dad!" Brantley caught his father before he could touch the fall."Father!" Brantley called out in a broken voice.Mila widened her eyes. Emille had instinctively shoved her behind him. How he managed to do it within seconds was still a mystery.Carl dived for his father, taking him by surprise just in time as he fired the second time.Carl's motion caused the bullet to be deflected away from Mila and Emille.Dom, who was launching towards Grandmaster too, got in the way of the bullet.Carlson threw his body on his father. He pressed his father down and succeeded in disarming him.The detective who had successfully sneaked past the guards at the gate, rushed towards the house when he heard the gunshot.Freya and some of the guards who were standing guard at the door rushed in.Brantley placed his hand on his father's stomach and held his hand tightly over it to m

There was a tug of war in her mind."Mila?" Carlson stooped down beside her. He placed his hands and rubbed her back tenderly as he whispered her name.Mils heard her name…the name she'd longed to hear, it was distant, but still loud enough to silence her thoughts.She slowly raised her head and stared at Carlson. His face was just inches away from hers."You called me Mila?" She asked in a soft whisper. Her heartbeat accelerated. It felt surreal. A faint smile spread out across her face."It is your name right? I have been longing to call you that." Carlson traced his fingers on her jaws as he confessed. He smiled warmly.She chuckled lightly. She chuckled some more. It felt like a dream. If it were a dream, then she definitely wants it to keep dreaming on till infinity and never wake up."I…you…yes, it was my name….it is no name! It is my name! ….Mila." She stuttered before finally settling on a response."Then own it! And silence those voices in your head. You are not alone again, o
