Chapter 28 "Let go of him" she pushed martin away with all the strength in her and held Colin who was slowly losing consciousness. "What is wrong with you?" She glared at martin "I told you to go home, didn't I?" Martin yelled back at her "So you can do this? You were strangling him" Marissa was furious Colin finally regained his consciousness, coughing "Jeez. I almost died" he heaved a sigh of relief Thankful he is still alive "Jenny are you okay?" He asked Jenny who looked startled ever since Martin pushed her away "Yeah, I am fine" she regained back her voice "I can sue him for attempted murder, right?" Colin asked and Jenny nod as a reply"How many years will he use in prison?" "under section 1(1) of the Criminal Attempts Act 1981, attempted murder is an indictable offence which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, the same as the mandatory sentence for murder" Jenny explained "You heard that, right?" Colin turned to Martin "I might as well make you spend th
Chapter 29"This story sounds familiar" he looked at herJenny smiled, happy that he finally realize the story is about them."That's right Colin" she tucked her hair behind her ear "The story is .....""It is from a drama" Colin laughed "Was it a Kdrama? Or Hollywood? I don't know but it is definitely from a drama"Jenny's smile turned to a glareShe was talking about them but he is talking about drama?"So? What happened in the end? Did they end up falling in love? Of course they would! It's always like that in dramas. Shits like this don't happen in real life" Colin said, still laughing."Shits?" Jenny mouthedSo to him, friends falling in love is shitShe sighed as she picked up her purse and stood up"Where are you going?" Colin blinked"Where else? I am going back home""What? Isn't it too early?" Colin pointed at the wall clock"I have a lot of things to do in Islington. When someone knocks on the door, don't open it" Jenny advised as she walked to the door"Alright. Come early
Chapter 30"So this is the house? It looks so beautiful, Dad must have spent a lot on it" Emerald wowed, Dragging her box inside"What are you doing here?" Colin closed the door behind him and went back to sit on the couchThe moment he laid his eyes on Emerald, he knew his biggest nemesis had arrivedHe already had enough problems to solve and Eric just had to add Emerald?Why?Just why?"Aren't you happy to see me?" Said Emerald, taking off her shoes Of course, he isn't.It's an obvious question even Emerald knows the answer to"When are you leaving?" Colin folded his arms"I leave anytime I want to" Emerald replied "Where is my room?" She asked but Colin gave no reply"Nevermind. I will look for it myself""You can't just come here the way you like""Why can't I? The house is mine too""Says who?" Colin frowned"Don't annoy me Colin, I had a long day and I would appreciate it if you can show me my room" Emerald warned"I would leave you alone if you promise not to cause me any tro
Chapter 31 Jenny rang the doorbell but got no reply She knocked and knocked and knocked and the result was still the same Is he asleep by this time?She thought She would have assumed he wasn't home but his car was parked outside Or did something happen to him? She twisted the knob and luckily the door wasn't locked so she entered FortunatelyNothing bad has happened just like she Assumed But something was definitely off Colin was seated on the floor, sulking His eyes were teary too "You are here" he blinked back his tears on sighting Jenny "What is wrong with you?" Jenny asked and moved closer to him She took off her shoes and sat beside him "I am done for" he sniffed "Why?" Jenny arched her brow She was curious and worried He had the same expression after Jackson Dream was released. She heard a footstep descending from the stairs She stood up to check and was surprised to see Emerald "Jenny!" Emerald called excitingly and ran down to hug her "When did you get he
Chapter 32"Colin? Jenny? Why are you guys here?" Marissa raised her brow"Camping, can't you see?" Emerald was quick to reply her"I am sorry who are you?" Marissa checked her out from head to toe"I am Emerald, who are you?" She gaggedMarissa and martin exchanged glancesAll her life she has not met anyone as rudeYes, Axel is rudeBut not like this"Who is she?" Marissa turned to Colin"She is a friend of Jenny" Colin saidEmerald jaw droppedHe is Lying right in front of her"She is a friend? You guys look alike" Martin scoffedIt would seems to anyone that he knew they are siblingsBut deep down he had his doubt too"Ewwww, I don't look like this Pipsqueak" Emerald said in disgust "And you must be Marissa""How do you know me?" "Of course I know you. I was tired of seeing your pictures on this MF's phone that I had to flush it down" Emerald said, sounding so proud of what she did"Emerald" Jenny made a signal for her to caution herself"We are on our way to go fishing, you guys
Chapter 33 Marissa turned on the light of her phone, searching through the forest carefully where her ring fell After going deep into the forest, some minutes later she found it on the ground covered in sand A smile appeared on her face as she bent to pick it up and dust it "I though I lost you" she kissed it and wore it back in her ring finger She sighed, relieved that she found the ring and turned to leave but she does not seems to remember how she got to the place she is right now. "I am not lost, am I?" She asked herself as she decided to walk down straightHoping it would lead her back to the camp site Few minutes after walking, it occured to her she was going deep into the forest It was dark and her phone could die anytime soon Fear gripped her at the thought of passing a night in the forest What if some wild animals appear and then eat her as dinner She would definitely taste delicious But dieing in that way was definitely not part of her plan. She assured herself
Chapter 34Colin sat in the doctor's office absentmindedly waiting for his test resultHe found coughing out blood weird which is why he decided to come to the hospitalHe silently prayed it was really Cold just like Emerald had assumed Minutes later, the male doctor entered his office with the test result in his handHe sat down and stared at Colin for a while before proceeding"The test result is out" he said and Colin gulpedLooking forward to whatever he was diagnosed of"Mr Colin, you have been diagnosed with Small cell Carcinoma" "What is...is that?" Colin's voice trembled"Small cell carcinoma is a type of lung cancer caused by smoking. It usually starts in the Bronchi and then creates large tumours spreading throughout the body" the doctor explained."So I have lung cancer" Tears gathered in his eyes"Yeah. I suggest you quit smoking" the doctor said with sympathy "Will I die?" He asked but the doctor was hesitantRefusing to reply him"It's okay, you can tell me" he assure
Chapter 35Colin sat on the floor in his room, His back leaned on the wall.He kept drinking can beerTrying to get what the doctor said off his mindHe has not come out of his room the whole day which kind of made Emerald worriedShe kept knocking on the door but he was not respondingWho would do all the chores if he keeps himself locked up in his room Who?Just who?Emerald was bot definitely not ready to do any chores"You aren't dead, right?" She asked, banging on the doorHe put on his headphone and closed his eyesHe just need sometime to thinkBut Emerald won't allow him"Are you really dead?!" Emerald yelled with her loud voiceHer voice was so loud he could still hear it despite the headphoneFew minutes later, he realized she was no more knockingMaybe she finally decided to let him beHe removed the headphone and threw it on his bed then he buried his face in his kneesHe started to cough again and while doing so, he could feel a serious pain in his chestHe felt like di
136 At the station, both Axel and Martin were locked up in a cell while Shawn, Eric and Jenny sat with the detective, giving evidences of all what they've done."I think there is one more person that needs to be arrested" Eric said"Who?" Shawn asked"Jackson Dream. I think he works with them too" Eric replied "About that..." The detective meddled "Our boys are on our way to get him""Really?" Shawn blinked in surprise "does he really work for them?""Yeah. You remember the doctor who died in our cell, right?""Yeah" Shawn nodded "Turns out he was actually the one who came in and strangled her""Ugh? How is that possible, what in the world were your boys doing?" Eric scoffed in disbelief"He paid the lieutenant in charge a handsome amount and also paid the security in charge of the CCTV so the footage was deleted" the detective explained, looking kind of disappointed that his fellow officers joined hands with a criminal to kill a human who they should protecting"That's just so bad
135"Where in the world are we going?" Shawn asked as he was not aware of where Eric has been driving him to for the past 30 minutes."Somewhere important" Eric replied, paying good attention to all the houses around"Can you at least tell me the important place? I don't think it's okay for me to just appear somewhere without being prepared" Shawn got even more curious "Don't tell me you are taking me to Axel, are you working for him too?" He gasped"That's offensive" Eric clicked his tongue "Fine. I am trying to look for someone who knows Axel well""Someone who knows Axel? I don't think someone like that exist, he is so sly and pretentious so much that he deserves an Oscar. Why are we wasting our time searching for someone when we should....." Before Shawn would complete his sentence, Eric stopped the car in front of a bungalow"We are here" he mouthed as he made signal for Shawn to alight."What is this place?" Shawn couldn't stop staring as he came out of the carThere was nothing
134"Babe, your stomach is getting big" Colin smiled while taking a look at Marissa's tummyOf course it was getting big, the pregnancy has been months now"I know right? I can't wait for pumpkin to come out" Marissa smiled back, slicing an apple for it to be easier for Colin to eatDue to the punch, his jaw hurts so it's hard for him to take a bite from the apple himself."You should really take a rest, I am okay""Says someone who can't drink a cup of water by himself""That is because my hands are in bandage""Because you broke them while fighting" Marissa nagged "Next time, don't even think of doing something like that, if you do I will kill you myself""You are being cold to someone who is hurt" Colin pouted "What should we name our pumpkin?""Why don't you think about recovering first" Marissa clicked her tongue "I am really fine" he emphasized "Should we name our pumpkin, Annabelle? Ella? Because she will be a pretty princess""How are you so sure it will be a girl?" Marissa s
133Marissa couldn't stop crying as she sat in the waiting room at the hospital with Shawn and Emerald who were trying all their best to console herColin's last words before the Ambulance finally arrived was stuck in her head, she felt like he was really saying his last words.What If he doesn't survive?What if he really pass away?It was hard to predict what would happen to him.But she was desperately hoping he would be okay so they can spend more time together.Ever since they got back together, they haven't been able to spend time together because they have been busy trying to catch a criminal who was right under their nose.That made her even more furious as more tears rolled down her cheek.She doesn't care anymoreShe would do all her best to catch Axel and make sure he pays for everything he has done."I am sure Colin will be okay, to be honest I am surprised he is still alive" Shawn said, leaning on the wall"How can you say that?" Emerald snapped "You are not helping""I a
132Colin laid on the floor, holding his groins in pain.He couldn't not throw a punch but on the other hand, Axel was not in any way lacking, he kept throwing punches without minding how much pain his opponent was.Colin's nose had been bleeding for the past 30 minutes when Axel had punched him so hard, breaking his nostrils.He was in so much pain but had no other option than to get up and keep fighting"Axel, please stop this" Marissa whimperedShe hated herself for not being able to do anything while the person she loves is suffering.She couldn't help but think this was all happening because of her, if only she wasn't kidnapped by her crazy cousin then she wouldn't have to watch Colin groaning in so much pain."Why are you telling me to stop?" Axel scoffed as he took a quick break to drink a gulp of water "At this rate, you are going to kill him" Marissa sniffed back her tears "Please.... I am begging you, just stop""You are so annoying" Axel dropped the bottle of water and wip
131Marissa kept struggling to untie herself from where she has been tied to in a place she has no idea of.On her way to the airport, a car just suddenly hit theirs but even though it wasn't fatal or ghastly, she had no idea how the young bodyguard Colin had ordered to escort her to the airport just stopped breathing.She was so scared, trembling, she opened the door of the car and made attempt to leave but was dragged and blindfolded by an unknown person.But there was no doubt the person behind this all was AxelHe really needs a serious beating.While struggling to untie herself, she heard footsteps approaching which made her stopJust how close was she with Axel?They were so close that she could recognize him just by hearing his footsteps "Do you mind removing this blindfold? I already know it's you" She said"Alright then" Axel scoffed and removed the blindfold just like she wanted "I am sorry they brought you here in this manner, I told them to bring you safely because of you
130While preparing to leave for Islighton, Marissa was almost all dressed upHer stomach was slowly starting to get big so she put on a comfortable dress, her hair was all done and she was done with her make upYeah, Axel is currently being a jerk but that won't still stop her from looking good for her dear.Her eyes moved to her shoe rack, trying to check out a heel which would be great with her dress but then she noticed some of her foot wears were missingAnd they were mostly heelsThere is only one person who is so obsessed with heels and that is Catherine.She sighed, trying to hold in her anger as she walked out of her roomOn her way to Catherine's room, Mrs Williams came out of her room which was just in between the two sisters room, all dressed for work."Marissa, I am sorry I won't be eating breakfast with you guys, I have......""It's fine" Marissa interrupted.This isn't Mrs Williams first time of skipping breakfast so why was she suddenly making up an excuse?After the i
129Shawn was so stressed out in his room, he kept dialing Jenny's number but one minute she wouldn't answer the call, the next minute her phone would be turned off.It's been a day now and she isn't back home.Her parents are not really bothered about her not being at home since she do that a lot of timeMany times she stay over at Colin's houseBut they were frustrated about her not being at home.It was quite a lot of work for them as no one could sleep the whole nightMr Rodman had gone to the nearest station to report a missing daughter even though Shawn persuaded them so many times not to do it."Do you know where the hell she is?"Is the question they kept asking him anytime he does that so he just had to let them be.He couldn't tell them she was captured by her own so called boyfriend because if he did, Shawn knew his father would be so eager to go there.Capturing Jenny is already a pain in the neck and now he wouldn't want his father to be captured to.He pick up his phone
128Marissa sat in her room with a puzzled lookShe knew Axel used to be her favourite cousin and all but now he is now in a position he can no longer be trusted.But her mother is not someone she can trust either.She didn't know who to believe exactlyWhy would Axel be her brother?And why would her mother lie about that?She hesitated a lot before giving it a thought to go to her mom's room.Without knocking, she barged in and met her mom working on her laptop"Why are you here? I am busy, I can't talk right now""But I have a lot to ask you" Marissa replied coldly."We can just talk about it later""I said I wanna talk!" Marissa blurted out and furiously turned off the laptop"What in the world do you think you are doing?! I was so damn busy!" Mrs Williams yelled back her "I said we can talk later!""I need to know the truth about Axel, who is that guy for real?""What do you mean who is that guy? He is your cousin obviously""Mom!""What?! What in the world do you want me to say?
