Things were escalating to a tremendous problem and they had no idea what in the hell could they ever do to fix that. "Please, don't die, Chung-hee. Don't you fucking dare to die!" Brandon appraised. He had to pray he had to try everything "We are doing our best, young Ashford." One one the members of the cla said. "Have faith." "I have. That is why I am still fighting!" Brandon retorted. He kept repeating and repeating those words incessantly. He was desperate, he needed to find forces to continue. And one thing Brandon knew for sure> The Gang was going to pay for all their crimes. So was his deary brother! "How could you do that?" Brandon asked. "And you better have not harmed Lucy, or I'll fucking kill you the worst way possible!" The members of the cla who heard that knew that the Brandon before then was a force that had to be restrained. Unfortunately, they would have to do something the young master would not like. But it was for the greater good. They locked him up a
Getting past guards unnoticed was a specialty of Gideon. The problem was that he was accompanied by a person who had no idea what to do.“Your hair alone attracts attention from afar.” Gideon said and slipped a cap over her head. "Sorry for that.""No problems. Worse is being seen and getting shot.” She commented and he kissed her lips."I love you very much. And I will get you out of here. I should have already done that. Forgive me for that.""Let's go... then we'll talk."He nodded and looked around.“We're going to have to make an escalation. Have you ever climbed a tree?”“No…” She said, remembering how much Augustina antagonized these types of activities performed by girls. Gideon sighed."OK. Well then pay attention.”He pointed her to the places where she should lean on and he would be right under her, helping her. Lucy took a deep breath, and focused on what she had to do. One mistake and not only her life would be over, but Gideon's.Even though she didn't have the same fee
The next few days were very tiring for Lucy. Gideon had a lot of work, for she didn't know how to hunt, she didn't know how to walk through the forest. He needed to carry her most of the time and Lucy felt extremely guilty about that.When he came back with food, she was watching him. When he looked in her direction and saw Lucy's gaze, he frowned."What's the problem?" He asked."The problem is, I'm useless, a dead weight A burden!!" She said, throwing her hands up and tears streamed down her face. This wasn't the first time she'd had a crisis.Gideon moved closer to Lucy and hugged her.“Shhh, it's okay, my love. It's OK.""You have so much patience..." She said, sniffling. "I do not deserve it."“But of course you deserve it!” He kissed her forehead. “Lucy, you are wonderful. You deserve the world!”She laughed, embarrassed."No, I don't deserve the world at all." She said. "I'm a cretin."Gideon pulled her away to look at her.“Why are you saying such a thing, Lucy? Huh?”"Because
Brandon and Gideon were about to start attacking each other again. “Stop it!” Lucy said and Gideon dropped his arms immediately. Brandon frowned and looked at Lucy, whose face was filled with running tears. “Lucy…” Gideon took a step in her direction, but Brandon didn’t let him go further. “Don’t talk to her, you bastard!” Gideon looked at Brandon as if he could kill him, then, he smirked. ‘If I’m a bastard, so are you, brother.” He said. “And I’ll talk to her until she tells me to stop.”Brandon looked at Lucy.“Tell him.” She shook her head no. Brandon’s face became livid. He looked at Gideon, who had a grin. “Wipe that grin off of your face, Gideon!” Lucy told him and he became more serious. “Both of you will stop this damn nonsense, do you understand?” She said and Brandon’s jaw was open. “Are you…are you meddling with this motherfu..”“Hey! Is that how you talk about mommy?” Brandon sucked the air, frustrated. “That’s right, little brother. You can’t offend my mother wit
“Nobody lied to me! I know the truth!” Chung-hee frowned. “You are telling me that the Ashfords decided to kill you? Why would they do it?” Gideon turned his head to the taekwondo grand master.“Because there is only one Ashford heir allowed per generation.” “This is bullshit!” Brandon yelled. “No, it is not!” “Son, the person who told you this is the person who you’re running away from?” Chung-hee asked and then Gideon stopped talking. “Well…”“The Ashfords normally have just one heir. You were the miracle. Having twins. First time in their history and you have no idea how happy they were.”“What…? Ok, I might have been the first twin with this imbecile, but they never had more because..”“Because they never had more. Normally the marriages are contractual. No love involved. This time it was different.” Chung-hee approached Gideon. “Your parents loved you and they suffered a lot. Your mother got into depression and died for that. You were stolen, Friedrich.” Lucy was back for
Chung-hee kept his eyes on the twins. They seemed to be getting along better. Lucy was with him, since he told her they should give the siblings some time and privacy and she agreed.It was not that Lucy couldn’t walk, but she was not fast like them. She would walk for a while, be carried and it made her feel like she was nothing but a burden. It was not her battle, and there she was, in the way. “Don’t worry, Lucy.” Chung-hee told her. “they both like your company. And as much as it is not ideal you being here, it kind of gives them strength and focus. Protecting you is far more enticing than caring for themselves.”“I wish I was not putting them into this damn mess.” Lucy said. “Do you really love both?” Chung-hee asked and then, he regretted. It was not his business and it was very unlike him to stick his nose into others private life. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have…”“No.. It is something I have to face.” She answered and looked down. “I love both, I am just not sure if the same w
“Any news from them?” William asked Ellie, his head between his hands, his elbows on the desk in front of him. He had his eyes closed and his head down. "No my love. None." She said and sat down next to him. He pulled her onto his lap and rested his head on her shoulder. "This is a nightmare." He said. “At least the company is managing to maintain itself. I know Brandon isn't dead. And Chung-hee is with him. It's going to be okay, Will." William Ashford took a deep breath. “I wish my boy was here and not running from the police. And the worst, for something he didn't do!" "I know…" The office phone rang and Ellie answered it. Her face turned serious and she hung up the phone sharply. "What was this?" William asked. Then he squinted his eyes. "Don't tell me that Rindley Fairfax keeps calling!" “It will stop at some point.” Ellie spoke, calmly. “Ellie…are you sure you want to be with me?” She turned to him and smiled. "Absolutely. I love being here with you. And even if the
Brandon took a look at the camera, but everything was steady. “Are you sure? It could’ve been just an animal.” “No.. I’m sure. That was definitely a piece of cloth.” Gideon said and Lucy, who was at the door, peeked inside. “Baby, don’t worry. We’ll fix this.” Lucy just nodded. She knew they would do something, but she was afraid something bad would come their way. she had a terrible feeling about that. “I’ll go outside. Ok?” Gideon said and Lucy’s eyes widened. ‘It’s fine. Stick to Brandon here.” “But… what if you get hurt? I don’t..” Gideon walked to her and cupped her face, kissing her lips passionately. “Brandon will take care of you. I’m not afraid now, Lucy. There is no trouble about me dying, if that happens. You are not unprotected.” “i don't want you to die!” She said, her eyes glistening with tears. Gideon just smiled at her. Knowing that she cared about him was more than he could have expected. Then, he turned to Brandon. “Take care of her.” Brandon nodded
