Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

♛Aurora: I could already see such a situation happening, and I knew my life was in danger already. I didn't have to think too far to know who brought me here and the reason they did; what baffled me was the fact that Dan was brought along. I was the one they needed, so I didn't understand why an innocent person was dragged into it. His only mistake was being there in the car with me. If he hadn't been there, he wouldn't have been tagged with me and brought here. He was completely innocent to be dragged into this. I came to a final realization that Victor was probably behind the messages I had been receiving for a while now. A deep breath escaped my lips as a huge, broad-shouldered man walked into the place. My throat tightened, and a lump stayed stuck in my throat when I saw the revolver in his hand. He opened the door ajar, letting light brighten the room before he walked down the warehouse, flicking the lights on. I pressed my eyes close as the bright rays nearly blinded me.

♛Aurora:Adrian. A tear rolled out of my eyes, burning down my cheeks as it warmed its way down.I swallowed the tight lump stuck to my throat, battling the urge to look up and see the hungry faces of the men as they approached me.Dan thrashed against the ropes, trying to break off the bound on his wrist and shield me, but my heart dropped when he winced loudly, and his earlier shout and protest broke into a helpless whisper, “Please don’t touch her.”The two men didn’t listen to him; instead, Rick placed his revolver away on a table on the far edge, far away from us and closer to the door, and after that, his fingers dropped to his belt, which he loosened in less than a minute.When Dan didn’t keep quiet and instead opted for yelling curses, Rick’s eyes darted over to him, and I noticed the tick on his jaw as he clenched his fists and approached Dan instead of me.The moment the lanky man’s fingers brushed over my shoulders, I completely lost the urge to fight back, and my thoughts

♛Aurora:The moment she said those words, Christian dragged her out, not giving her the chance to make things worse than they already were. But even after she had already left, the words she had spouted remained thick in the air.An unpleasant memory tugged at the back of my mind, pulling me back to the scene of me sitting and clutching my mother’s hands at the hospital, pleading with her to not leave me behind.All of a sudden, I forgot how to breathe properly.Adrian’s arms tightened around me, and his fingers subconsciously dug into my arms, like he was trying to hold himself together as much as he was trying to hold me. His sudden action gave me answers to questions I hadn’t even asked because I was scared of what the answers might be.The warmth I had felt from the closeness between us suddenly felt cold, and all I could perceive at that point was the heavy stench of petrol in the warehouse climbing my throat in an uncomfortable way instead of the solace the scent of his cologne

♞Adrian:I wasn't sure how many hours dragged past as I stood at the same place until Christian drove the car out.A lot went through my mind, but all I did was stare at nothing in particular.It wasn't until I heard the ping sound of a message on my phone break the silence that I finally moved, reaching out for it in my pocket.Christian’s name popped on the screen as I swiped, and I immediately tapped the new message he had sent.Christian: She’s home now.The moment I read the message, my legs finally moved, and I walked down the path straight to where my car was, tapping the dial button on Christian's number.It rang for barely up to two seconds before he answered.Stepping inside the car, I shut the door close and brushed my fingers through my hair, resting my head back before speaking, “She’s home alone?”“No. Trish was home already.”I bit down on my bottom lip and dragged a hand down my face before finally starting the engine of the car. “Alright.”For a long minute I didn't

♞ Adrian: It was late evening by the time I finally made it back home. I opened the door and stepped inside, rubbing a hand over my tired eyes as I kicked my shoes off in the living room and tugged at my tie, pulling it off before reaching for the buttons of my shirt. I unbuttoned the first and the second before stepping in fully, and the moment I did, my fingers stilled as I came to an abrupt stop at the sight of Rory in my living room. She stood up the moment I stepped inside, and the first thing I saw was her red-rimmed eyes, which were clouded with tears; her hair was disheveled. I pressed my fingers into my eyes and shook my head. For a breath, I thought I was hallucinating since I couldn't stop thinking about her for the past hours; that was until she finally spoke out. “Where have you been?” Her voice was barely audible. “I had to complete some things before coming home.” She nodded a little, but down on the lips, and asked, “Things like?” Instead of telling
