Brother's Best Friend Is My Child's Father のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

No one said a word. But the reigning silence was louder than any noise ever made. Alex could feel the tension rising in his bowels. His hands were trembling slightly but he managed to keep them under the table. He wouldn't want to reveal his fears to his opponent. Elena, on the other hand, was a bit calmer than usual. She knew the situation was now in her control because Dominic was now involved. The same person who vowed to keep her safe was now inside the same room with the alleged mastermind. Alex spared Dominic a glance before shifting his attention to Elena again. He was totally speechless. Not that there was actually nothing to say, but he couldn't tell if those were the right words. If he could say anything to Dominic right now, he would talk about how his presence was making him crumble inwardly, and how he badly wanted him to walk away so he could be in full control of Elena's mood and reactions. The silence helped him revise the decisions he made to bring Elena to a dinn

He kept his gaze on the ground, saying nothing despite the urges of Elena and quiet threats of Adrian. Adrian punched the walls to tame the anger burning in his mind. I could only hope Alex understood the kind of injury I was saving him from. I wasn't even sitting across from him. I stood, and then crouched before him, gently raising his head and repeating the question. I heard the way Elena sighed at intervals, keeping her emotions in check so the situation wouldn't become more twisted. An answer was all we needed from him. Perhaps he didn't know what would be the aftermath of his refusal to give an answer, or maybe he was just ready for anything that came his way. The expression on his face looked even calmer than mine was. It was like though he had the ability to send telepathic messages to his backup team to rescue him. That was the kind of calmness that was all over his face. “Give a damn answer. We've been waiting for a long period of time!” Adrian couldn't hold back anymore

As long as one's mind can be calm, great decisions can be made. Being scared of captivity will definitely ruin my peace and make me say more than I actually should. I slowly raised my head, holding the gaze of the man called Dominic. He's been the most patient person in the room so far. The one named Marcus could have demonstrated his anger on me as well, but Adrian was playing that role already.They'd been waiting for a long while to hear a word from me. Some of them believed patience was what they needed to get information from me, and some believed that violence was the key to achieving that. No wonder Dominic was their leader. He knew beating me to death wouldn't force the words out of my lips. A little bit of patience and a little bit of violence would save the day. “Elena isn't a random target. Not at all.” I continued. They converged quickly, willing to hear more from me. They must be waiting for that exact information that would make them trace the root of the attack. I g

My gaze shifted to Marcus as he gave a quiet nod, believing Alex's warnings were true and had to be followed. I heaved a deep breath, rose to my feet as I processed the exact statement to tell everyone in the room. Marcus faced the walls as Adrian kept his head lowered on Elena's shoulders. Elena remained speechless. Despite having many things to say, I couldn't bring myself to tell them anything just yet. Any statement made now would either resolve this situation or make it tougher. “Here is the instruction everyone has to follow now…” I finally voiced out. I couldn't afford to continue to stay quiet. Everyone needed to know the next line of action, and I was in charge of that. “The security system of Elena's apartment has to be stronger. We have to ensure that this happens.”“No movement around Elena's apartment should go unnoticed.” I added to the words. “Even if the person is a friend, the security guards have to lock them up first. No one should have the chance to lurk around h

Perhaps the reason Dominic believed in handling this situation calmly was because he was not the victim here. How was Elena truly feeling?The last time I placed my head on her shoulder, I heard her breathing. It was unstable. She was quiet for a long time in the room, but her mind was not. The way she stared at the walls and the way she didn't move or say a word, already proved to me that she was deeply troubled. How could we leave her alone in her apartment? What would she be thinking about now that she was inside there alone? Yeah, the security system has been upgraded and it's much better now, but how about her mind? How about the thoughts that corner her mind when she's alone? Standing outside her door, I glanced at every corner before grabbing the doorknob. I could be an extra security guard too. Elena deserved company. She deserved to know what the update was. Her door was locked. I turned the doorknob again to confirm, and yeah, I did. It was locked. I would actually be su
