One Month ago, “Christ, where are we?” Cherry asked in her groggy state. She rubbed her eyes and held onto her big belly“I do not know; I am not sure what is going on here,” Christ said as he helped her sit up properly. She was already five months pregnant.“What do you mean? Did you not get an urgent call from the office? Were we not in the car?” She asked as she tried to look around but all she saw was an unknown place.“Yes, but after that, I know nothing. I do not have my cell phone nor any way to leave this place.” Christ said as he punched the wall.“Calm down. Before that, we need to confirm that brother is not here,” Cherry said as she looked at him, to which Christ took her to another room and showed her Ryan in an unconscious condition.“What the hell! Why is he like this? And who did this to us?” Cherry inquired, her eyes welling up as she watched her brother lying still on the bed.She had watched him in that condition for the past four years, and once again he seemed t
Lucy was racing her mind to figure out what Ryan meant by what he said. She was not sure why she would know about the place where he would keep the papers.She was still racing her mind when Rylan sneaked into her room and closed the door behind him.“Mom, what are you thinking?” he asked as he shook her hand.“Oh, Lan, I—I was thinking about what your father said; I mean, I want to rewatch that video, but I do not want to sneak in again,” Lucy said, to which Rylan told her not to try, otherwise, his uncles would probably kill someone."I know, but I need to find out, and I have to watch that video again," Lucy lamented.“Mom, here!” Rylan smiled and handed her a pen drive, saying, “I took out dad’s pen drive; I thought we might need it.” He said and asked Lucy about the phone numbers of the missing people: “And mom, I want the phone numbers of those who are missing, and—” He was still talking when Lucy hugged him and squeezed him in her arms.“Baby, you are the best.” She said that a
“I know, but can you try to understand us? We did not tell you because of the way you were acting.” He said that and tried to feed her, but she turned her face away from him.“Do not try this on me, brother. "Earlier in the day, I did not respond to brother Morgan because he seemed extremely enraged, but if he comes to me now, I would rather kick him out of the world than hear anything from him," she said, requesting that he leave her alone but Edmund was adamant to stay with her.“Brother, you are too much,” Lucy said and came out of her bed and asked him what he would do if she would disappear one day and no one told him. Edmund had no idea how to counter her questions, he knew he should have told her about Ryan but the poison was just taken out of her body and any outburst would have cost her, her life. It was not like he wanted to hide it but he had to!“Put the plates down, I will eat!” Lucy said after thinking a bit. She, at first did not want to eat anything and go on a hunge
Edmund went to his room, followed by Morgan, who kept on asking him to say something but did not say anything. “What? Why are you making that face?” Morgan said as he sat on the couch and gazed at Edmund, who was sitting on the bed.Morgan sat there for a while, waiting for his answer, and then stood up in frustration, saying, “Fine, I am sorry! I should not have said all those things to her, ok? I know what I said was more than expected!” He said this and turned to leave, but Edmund stopped him.“It was good!” Edmund said and asked him to go back and sit. "I might not have been able to tell her those things, but she's not wrong. I guess we are the ones who hurt her, and somewhere our love for her became toxic without us knowing!” Morgan fell silent. He knew what he said to Lucy was hurtful, and he should have controlled himself, but he was not wrong.Morgan could have been toxic to her, as he could do anything to keep her safe and alive, even if he had to hurt her feelings and then
Lucy was taken aback to see her brother in pain and questioned whether their love was truly toxic for her. So she decided to tell them the reason why she did all these things and that she never intended to hurt them. “Today, when I ditched your men, I and Ah Lan and broke into Ryan’s house, and there we found some videos that he made because he was losing his memories one by one!” She spoke up and told him what was in that video. “Seriously? Is that why you are calling us toxic? Just to commit treason?” Morgan asked as he rolled his eyes. “No! I never wanted to say something that would hurt you; it came out of nowhere, and I am really sorry for that! I really do!” Lucy apologized again and again. She decided to do it until she was forgiven. Edmund looked at Lucy’s face, all wet from tears and eyes red, and took her hand and made her sit beside him on the bed. “You do not need to apologize; we know you are sorry, and that is more than enough for us. But you have to understand one t
[ Sorry for the previous inconveniences, kindly read the previous chapter to continue this one, and also, congratulations, we just crossed 250 chapters. Happy Reading.]“Come on, I liked him because he helped me, but the territory to my heart was already marked by young master Song, the way before I met Christ, so I had no problem in letting him go.” Lucy tried to explain herself but when she turned to look at them, they were making a nauseating faces.“What the hell are you guys doing?” She asked as she looked at them.She was not out there to discuss her love life with her elder brothers, it was really weird. But it seemed liked her brothers were not in the mood to let the topic go.“What are we doing? Seriously? Marked the territory and all? I mean, Ed might not be able to ask you, but I really want to know why the hell you like that Ryan guy?” Morgan said to which Edmund agreed.“Certainly not because he is the father of your child?” Edmund said as he avoid any eye contact with he
“Look, there are a lot of things wrong here, and we need to stand tall,” Morgan said as he walked back to them, “First we need to take the will back in our hands.” “You are right, we have to take back what belongs to our little boy and girl,” Edmund said as he too agreed with him.Lucy fell silent. She did not know where to get the will, or how was she going to get it.“Let’s go and eat something, Little Birdie, you did not have anything,” Edmund said and took her hand in his, “Let’s go, your brother will cook something delicious for you.” “Right, count me in!” Morgan said.“Ok,” Lucy replied in a low voice and went together with them.Even though she went with them, her mind was still finding that one single hope that she could help Ryan to save the Song Corporation.If it would have been in the past, she would have gone mad by now, but now that she had two strong pillars by her side, she was stronger than ever.Even if she was nervous and afraid but ready to fight.======On the o
Christ was hellbent. and was working really hard in all secrecy to cure Ryan at any cost. He had to leave the place before anything serious happened to Ryan.He had no idea why he was there, let alone who had kidnapped them. Why was he being treated as a prisoner there, and what did whoever did it want in return?"Brother, you are my only hope, so please get better soon," he said as he stood up to leave when he was nearly knocked over by someone from behind.“What the—” He turned to look who did that, and of course, it was Ryan. “Oh, my God!” He exclaimed as he could not believe that he was actually awake.“Shh!” Ryan said in a low voice, "Come here and talk," and asked him to sit beside him.“Brother, when did you wake up?” Christ said as he sat beside him, to which Ryan asked him what happened, where they were, and what he was talking about.“I actually do not really know about where are we and why we are here, but one thing I know is that I really needed you here.” Christ said as
