Lahat ng Kabanata ng Biker-in-law's Death Kiss: Kabanata 271 - Kabanata 280

Olivia was blanketed in silence, her fingers stiff as claws in mine as we stared at the child who had his back to us, laughing loudly as Axel pushed the hammock like a swing, as far as it could go.He shrieked when the hammock rose high in the sky, and laughed as it descended. “Colt?” Olivia’s voice came out trembling.My hand tightened around hers, turning to find her eyes pinned in the direction of the boy, arrested by the sight, unable to even blink.Holding her hand even tighter, I took the first step forward.She remained immobile, and I glanced back to nod in encouragement, before finally, she took the first step.Axel turned to us then with a smile, still swinging the hammock, likely to keep the child’s attention away from our approach. He paused as soon as we reached them, and the child turned, perhaps to inquire why Axel paused.My world stopped.My heart raced at the sight of his face. Morvian was a precious little thing that I realized at that moment. I would go on to pro

I had just stepped out of the bathroom when I heard a strange sound, followed by the jerky tremor of rattling windows. I moved around my bedroom, pulling the windows shut and wishing Olivia would spend the night here instead.But I understood it. We had many more nights, hopefully.I was pulling my slack bottom on when I heard the clear sound of someone running down the stairs, and then the voices of the guards. I bolted out, already running downstairs, barely shrugging a shirt on and slipping into slides. Olivia’s voice became clearer the more stairs I descended, and by the time I arrived at the garage, her screams were sharp, and Movian was in her arms, pale.She was the one who screamed earlier, which I mistook for the wind.“Olivia.” My heartbeats were loud in my ears, and the world took on a monochrome hue as I ran for her.Chris yanked the back door of the SUV as she bounced impatiently on her feet, still shrieking for help and for them all to hurry.Her head snapped to me th

When I opened my eyes, the car was thick with smoke while the dogs tried to beat the door open. “Mr Fletcher, Mr Fletcher,” Chris called when I began to cough in the suffocating smoke, my mind hesitantly drifting from my teenage world of bosomy girls with maddening scents, and starry-eyed boys who had fallen in love without knowing it.“Olivia.” I gasped suddenly.I could see nothing from this point, with my back to the roof of the car, my head suspended midair, barely supported by the seatbelt wrapped around my torso.“The car,” I called out, “Fire…the car.” My words were incoherent, but that was the quickest way my mind could think to get them out.However, Chris picked it up immediately, screaming out orders while I tried to move, even though I knew it was best to remain still till the ambulance showed up. But I couldn't stay still, terrified at the fact that I couldn't hear anything from the back. I unhooked the seatbelt, and at the first attempt to raise my head, I blacked ou

I took time explaining why it was important I was at this ball, but Axel disagreed, saying it was pointless.“Ok. Let’s say it turns out to be pointless. What harm could come from it though?” “You, fucking falling in a faint,” he smacked his thigh, eyes burning bright in an incredulous look.I looked away. I’d try not to do that because there was still so much to be done. Despite realizing Luiza was being manipulative, there was some truth to what she said. The company was important to Olivia, especially with Morvian here now. So I had Chris bring in a tuxedo, and got dressed for the ball right in my ward.“What if the Gyehna attacks you?” Axel tried one last argument as he watched me get ready. I shrugged.“He’s not after me,” I carefully fixed my cufflinks. “And as long as the dogs stay here, no one can harm Olivia.”“So you’ll be out with just your aesthetic guards?” Axel’s voice was grave disbelief, and I turned to him.“They did fine in Budapest.” I moved my hand up to strai

The night was a blur, the blood bank was functional again, and Morvian received even more blood transfusion as his ward began to look real festive, troops of medical staff moving in and out.I sat outside his ward because I was too lightheaded at this point to stand. The thought of having to break the news to Olivia if this poor kid died while she was still unconscious, made my head swim and breathing difficult. “Is there really nothing that can be done for him?” Axel asked from behind, and I was again reminded he was still there. I turned to him with a sad look, he really should go home at this point. He’d been here since last night. “He needs a bone marrow transplant. And Olivia is not a match,” I said with a heavy sigh. “And she doesn’t have even a tiny clue we can search for his real father with?” He hissed in frustration, “What about her father, the drunk?”“The French bitch said he doesn’t know either.” I responded, thinking how I really never wanted to see that monster, or
