Semua Bab Bound by Revenge, Saved by Love: Bab 121 - Bab 130

AdaSaying goodbye to Theo is hard—I won’t deny it. I wanted him to stay. It would’ve been so damn amazingly if we could all just stick together like a true family. I’ve always been thirsty to live life the way it used to be; back when everything made sense and I was at my happiest. But my brother has a life in Argentina now. I can’t intervene. He came here to do what he had to do, and now it’s time for him to go. The good thing is that we’re going to stay in touch and talk all the time. We won’t be strangers anymore. I’ll be able to give him life updates and he’ll do the same. To be honest, this is way better than I could’ve ever hoped. Just the fact that he’s alive is enough for me to celebrate. Hence, I won’t be greedy or even ungrateful. I’ll just take what I can get with open arms. Seeing him again is so great. This is the happy ending that I didn’t think I’d get. He kisses the side of my head noisily and says, “I’ll miss you. If you didn’t have a life here and were expecti

MaximilianJesus, Mary, and Joseph. How am I supposed to tell Ada the shit I heard from the detective this morning? It’ll crush her and the last thing in the world I want is to do that when she already went through such a tough time this year. The doctor told me personally that her pregnancy was high risk and so she needed to rest plenty and not have things that would stress her out. For months, I’ve been trying to make sure everything runs smoothly because I won’t be able to bear the thought of anything happening to her. No, the last time when she was abducted by that psychotic lunatic, my heart shattered and I felt useless. If Grayson hadn’t stepped in, maybe she would’ve never been found. I was grateful that he was involved but the truth is that as a man, I felt like it was my duty to protect her and so I made a promise to myself that I would always try my hardest to make sure she’s protected from everything. Even herself. And Ada is a damn stubborn soul. She refuses to list

Maximilian “Max,” Rebecca says to me once I confide in her about the matter of Damson Port having escaped the institution he was in. “You can’t do that. You have to tell her.”“How will I tell her when I know how much it’ll stress her out?” I demand. “She was telling me just the other day that she was so glad those people were out of our lives! Come on, Rebecca. You know I can’t stress her out like this.”“I know what the doctor said but don’t you think it’ll be worse if she finds out from someone else?”“Who would tell her?” I ask while looking around. “You’re the only other person I’ve told about this. Besides, the guy lost his mind. Who’s to say that he’s looking for us? Maybe he’s just walking around the streets aimlessly and will be found soon.”My sister narrows her eyes at me. “You’re a stubborn shit, you know that? If you’re so sure he’s not a threat then why are you worried to begin with?”She got me there. I don’t have an answer for her question. I run a hand down my face a

Ada When we arrive at Rebecca’s massive home, my mouth falls open. This is my first time here and I always guessed that she lived in a stylish home but this is beyond anything I could have imagined. The architecture’s completely modern blended in with a few older elements, and of course, it’s all surrounded by nature and marble fountains. It’s magnificent. “I didn’t know her house was like this!” I exclaim as we start up the stone path to the front door. “My sister is over the top with anything she does. Haven’t you noticed? She’s had this house since she was twenty-one and she loves it.”“Twenty-one?” I say, shocked. “Yes. My father built it for her.”“This is where she lived before she moved in with you?”“Yes. With all her husbands.”When we reach the front door, Max doesn’t knock. He just pushes it open. The interior is even more breathtaking and I can’t stop looking around with my mouth agape. This is truly something else. There’s art literally everywhere. She’s clearly a

MaximilianIt’s crazy how sometimes the smallest thing in the world could snowball into something huge that’s inescapable. When I offered to leave as soon as I saw Kelly, it wasn’t because I feared anything. No, I just didn’t want Ada to feel uncomfortable because she was a woman I’d used to forget Ada and things between us ended so badly that the tension between us was palpable and just awful in general. I never could have dreamt that Kelly would show her bad and crazy side the way she did. I’ll always question why the heel I didn’t turn around quicker. Why I was so calm even when I heard the fucking screams. It’s too late for any of that, though. Because Kelly breaks the wineglass against the table and then rushes toward Ada. And in slow motion, I watch as she throws her arm in the air, the shard of glass in her hand, and stands Ada’s belly with it. A word leaves my lips. I think I say no. I’m not sure. I throw a punch at Kelly’s face and she falls backward, and then I turn my
