Two Months Before Leaving You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Jade's POV. I could stand there all day and listen to Mel talk and talk about this man. If she isn't talking about how I'd let him get to us, then she's talking about how he is some rogue soldier who is very dangerous and how unfortunate it was that he caught up with us. And also, how lucky I am to have gotten away? Her talks made me feel sick. Instead of looking for solutions to our problems, she's adding salt to the wound. I do not know what her scolding is intended to do. Make me feel better about my failed plan? Rewind the last one and a half hours when I still had Kara in my hands? Or cower in fear and go out to turn myself in to this strange man she couldn't stop talking about to save her life. Why is she so shaken up by him? "I don't understand why you're so worked up about one man." I shot at Mel, getting infuriated by the passing minute because it looks like she's making an issue out of nothing over this Jerome guy. Sure, he's a retired army or what

Kara's POV. I woke up to the shrill sound of something frying from the kitchen and the tantalizing aroma that came with it. I squint my eyes as I try to adjust to the brightness of the room. The room seemed too bright for morning, and for a moment I actually wondered what time it was. Afternoon, perhaps? I finally pry my eyes open to the morning brightness seeping into the room through the open window. I groan tiredly as I try to sit up. Then a big smile crosses my lips, accompanied by a vibrant blush that stains my cheeks because my mind did a quick thing where images of past events flash through my brain like lightning. The image of Axel seated on the edge of this bed as he tended to me while putting me to bed, his hands gently caressing my skin and hair, flashed through my eyes. I get off the bed after getting myself away from my thoughts. Axel's room is extremely flashy, and a bed too wide for a man living alone, in my opinion. But Axel has the

Kara’s POV. Axel’s mother made sure we had a good time before the crack of dawn the next day. Terra called Axel in the late hours of the night, wanting to discuss business, and as soon as the day broke the next day, Axel told me about a business he needed to attend to urgently. What got my heart fluttering after we arrived in the city was how Axel kept to his word. He never left me out of his sight, even when he needed to meet with Terra for some business, and I demanded that I stay back at the house. And as I sat in an empty office watching Axel and Terra talk about business on her conference table through the glass walls separating us, I realized how calm my life has suddenly become since the kidnapping. Everything seems so quiet and peaceful now. I haven’t heard back from Jade, as Axel had predicted, even from Derrick, to my surprise. Derrick would usually be calling me by now, either proposing one business partnership or another in his attempts to get me back under his wings.

Kara’s POV. I thought I was losing my mind. After returning from the shopping spree, I’d tried my best to be as cheerful as possible. I hated that Axel always blamed himself for everything that happened to me. I know what I saw on that street. I saw Jade Black walk on that pavement and I saw her smile at me. I couldn’t have mistaken. But as I sit now at the tip of my bed, I start to question myself. Did I really see Jade walk out of that store and smirk at me? Or was it, as the doctors had concluded, my mind playing tricks on me, using the events of the past to haunt me? Two days later, I finally convinced Axel to leave the house and not remain here, leaving all his work outside this house idle on my account. This morning, I made sure to send him back to work while I have the house to myself. Also, because I knew I had some self reflecting to do. I kept repeating everything the doctor had said in my head. Only I can decide to let all this trauma go. And that is why I’m walking int

Jade’s POV. None of this was supposed to happen! Kara is supposed to be dead by now! How in the world did I let this happen? How did I let her slip from my fingers again?! Even though I put Mel’s words to a bull and turned a blind eye to it, storming out of her office the other day, I still know that I’m supposed to stay hidden for now. And that angered me even more. How am I supposed to be hiding from Kara when she is the one who’s supposed to be hiding from me! It doesn’t work that way. But according to Mel, these undercover agents who had taken my men had the power to turn this case around. Derrick will probably hate me if he learns about this. He would cast me out for trying to kill his precious ex-wife, even though he keeps lying to my face that he has moved on from her and doesn’t care about her or want her back anymore. But it’s so clear he’s a stupid liar with the way he’s always galvanizing around her and wanting to do business with her and constantly picking on her and
