All Chapters of Love At Stake: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Det's PovAs soon as we got to the meeting hall, I saw Korn, the main head of the Gamma Bloodline, pointing his gun at Krit.I stared at Krit for a while wanting to be sure. The injury on his forehead was a proof, so I carried on. " Mr Korn, this is the Apex mansion. And I am sure you know that." I said, my voice low and steady, despite the thumping in my chest. My hands in my pocket as I let out a heavy sigh, trying to calm my racing heart beat." What do you mean?" He turned to look at me. Lowering his gun. " This bastard killed my son." He yelled.Now I get, why he was taking to the airfield. " Any proof of that?" I asked. Based on my calculations, it seems he had hijacked the ambulance, which my father had used to take Krit out of the mansion. " You..." He said pointing his fingers at me. I turned to look at Krit, if it had been someone else in his position, he'd be scared, or even, peed in his pants already. But, he was calm, said nothing and was just staring. He sure have the

Det's POVMy hands began shaking, the dark memories were resurfacing. And everything was happening as it all did back then. " Mr Det just breathe." I heard Mrs Su's voice. Her voice calm and soothing. My mind began racing. ' What if it all happened like last time? What if I lose him?' I thought. My mind racing with many questions." You bastard! You killed her!" I heard again. The memories I tried to burry now hunting me. Each and every seconds that slipped, were lost of precious seconds. And the life dwelling into danger. An unsurvivable one. I was thorn between finishing the surgery or running away from it. Running makes me lose the life I try to save, and had caused the problem. I couldn't face it. Nor can I leave it." Mr Det, if you don't continue this surgery, we might not be able to save him." " You killed her!" Voices echoed in my head. My hands continued shaking. Sweat beaded my body. Now what should I do?I let out a deep sigh. Hoping the panic will dissolve this time

Det's Pov"He's crying."Mrs. Su's report stopped me in my tracks. A comatose patient doesn't cry. Not unless something was happening deep inside the ruins of their mind."Show me," I said, my voice low. I didn't wait for her reply, turning on my heel toward Krit's ward. This wasn't just a symptom; it was a message. " I am very sure, Mr Det. Last night, he was crying. This morning was the same." She explained as she trailed behind me." Okay." I said. " It's a sign." At that moment, I felt a strong presence in the infirmary, so I quickened my pace. This could not happen for no reason, and the fact that he showed no sign of coming back. As soon as I stepped into the ward, the first thing I saw was his tears. Although it's hard to believe but, now seeing him cry in front of me, I could not help but feel quite surprised.My steps slow and steady as I moved closer to him. " Have you perform the EEG monitoring. And did you add the brain scan?" I asked." Yes, all done." She said curtly.

Det's Pov" Don't try to act smart, just move." A cold baritone voice resounded behind me." What do you want?" I asked, my eyes glued on the car's mirror. Thank goodness it's a tinted glass. And he would not be able to notice Porsche." I want to see you suffer," he hissed.I stared at him through the glass. Despite having me at gun point; his eyes were searching for something. Something, I couldn't quite nail my fingers on. Curious, I turned my head toward the nearby forest which he was constantly checking, but I didn't see anything. Then, what could he be looking for? Or much worse, who wanted him to hunt me despite wanting to kill him?" I can help you, you know?" I turned to face him. " I don't f**king need your help." He snapped, sweat beaded his face already. " I wonder what could have made you so scared till the extent you are not focused on your prey." I slightly spread my hands into the air. " Don't meddle. You say another word, I will make sure to bust your damn head."

Ronnakrit's Pov"What the heck?" I snapped, my face frowned upon hearing and seeing what he is doing. " I said explain yourself." His voice cold.I didn't have a choice, "You know very well that, I have never left this mansion ever since I stepped foot in it." I turned towards Pete, I landed a tight punch on his face. " That is for the first punch." I said." Krit!" Det yelled " Don't you fuckin' test your faith, Det." I said pointing my finger at him. My blood running cold as I warned. " And you, I never killed your father which you are f**king aware of!" I slapped him again. With that, I walked out of the sitting room, headed toward our bedroom...I fell flat onto the bed, my head still aches from the punch he gave. I stared at the ceiling, my mind racing with questions about who killed Pete's father.I was assigned the mission, and now, it seems someone else is on the toll. Which means that person is my rival or maybe, I am just overthinking it.My mind drifted back to Det's act
