Chapter 63 I'll Save You, Sister
Dylan's POV
"Dylan? You're Dylan, right? How did you get here?" Grayson widened his eyes as he saw me. He even ran over to me who was waiting for him in front of the arena.
I've been in this place since almost an hour ago. I'm here to see Grayson but I also don't want to get kicked out if I ask the security to meet me with Grayson. So what I'm doing is waiting for him to come out.
Grayson took off his jacket and put it on me. "You must be cold. Your eyes redden. Come to my car."
"I want to ask for your help." I finally got the words out of my mouth. My red eyes weren't because I was cold either, but because I was holding back my anger at Owen.
A few hours ago, I woke up when I heard Quinn's rather loud voice. Curious about who she was talking to, I went to the living room.
It turns out Quinn was talking to Owen. I almost said hello to Owen but then it didn't happen after Quinn said something that I really wanted to know the answer to, which was the real reason she broke up with Owen.
Turns out my guess was right. They broke up not for the reason Owen explained to me. But for other reasons that made their breakup feel terrible. It also answered my question as to why Owen hadn't shown up for a year and only showed up recently.
It turns out that the reason they broke up was because Owen cheated on Queen. Not only that, Owen also apparently lied to Quinn, made Quinn feel special as his fake fated mate and after he found his real mate, he left Quinn, betraying her secretly behind her back.
When I heard that directly from Quinn, it felt like there were hundreds of knives plunging into my chest. It felt like my world was split in two. And it felt like time stopped spinning.
Even though it was Quinn who was hurt, I could also feel her pain because after all I was her brother, also the only family she had. Moreover, I know Quinn used to love Owen sincerely. So being betrayed like that is the same as killing Quinn indirectly.
Owen might not realize it, but he made Quinn change. And I was the one who noticed the change.
Quinn became more introverted, no longer enthusiastic when I discussed her type of man, and always avoided when a man tried to approach her. Yes, during Quinn's time taking care of me and after the time period of breaking up with Owen one year ago, Quinn was approached by one of the patient's brothers but she ignored him. At the time I thought it was because Quinn still couldn't move on from Owen, but now I understand, she just didn't want to start a relationship again due to the trauma of being betrayed.
Remembering that made my blood boil. My head was heating up especially seeing how Owen had been acting like a person who had done nothing wrong and still dared to meet me. Owen really didn't show any remorse because he could even still laugh in front of me or in front of Quinn. And Quinn, probably because she didn't want to worry me, she let me misunderstand the reason for their breakup.
I wasn't angry at Quinn, no. I understood her reasons for letting me believe the reasons Owen made up. But by doing so, I felt sorry for her. Because indirectly, I was contributing to the heartache she was feeling.
I also felt really bad for Quinn for staying close and accepting Owen's presence again. I really didn't have a clue. As a result of being lied to by Owen, I thought they had broken up in a good way, so I even accepted the stuff he gave me and even encouraged them to get back together.
I felt stupid for doing that and just believing Owen when I should’ve also waited for Quinn to explain why. I was so caught up in Owen's sweet words that were so convincing until I unknowingly hurt my own sister.
Quinn, I'm sorry, please forgive me. I'm really sorry for being kind to someone who hurt you. Now that I know the truth, I promise I won't make room for Owen to return.
That was my promise. And that's what got me out of that mansion because I didn't want to live in the house of someone who hurt Quinn. I don't want to accept any more favors from someone like Owen who can't respect a woman. I don't want to live there anymore.
And the first thing I thought of after getting out of there was asking Grayson for help.
I know it's crazy because Quinn just broke up with Grayson too, but somehow this time I have a strong feeling that the reason Quinn broke up with Grayson is not the same as the reason for breaking up with Owen. And also if I remember again, Grayson didn't have any suspicious signs, he was just the way he was, being himself even though he was a bit sloppier than Owen.
Although I didn't know how it would turn out, I tried to find Grayson first. For some reason I was also very confident that Grayson could help Quinn get out of Owen's trap.
Unfortunately, I didn't know where Grayson was. So it took me a long time to find him because I had to go around from his penthouse, the hospital, the old flat, until I finally thought of visiting the Frost Maple team's homequarters. And luckily I was able to meet him at that last place.
And now here I am, sitting on a wheelchair shamelessly approaching a star like he's my emergency contact. Because now my only hope of saving Quinn is Grayson. Only in him can I trust Quinn will be safe. As a fellow Alpha, I think Grayson could be an equal opponent for Owen.
"What can I do for you? Just tell me. I will definitely help you." Grayson was now kneeling in front of me, matching my height.
"It's about Quinn."
"Quinn? What's wrong with Quinn? Do you know where she is? Please tell me everything you know about your sister, Dylan. I'm desperately looking for her. I really want to see her again."
Look, there's no doubt in Grayson's words that he still wants Quinn. But on the other hand, I was also curious about the reason why he broke up with my sister.
"Before you help us, I want to make sure of something." I looked into his eyes earnestly to search for the truth. "The reason you and Quinn break up, was it because of a third person?"
Grayson pulled his body back. "That's right."
Oh shit!
"But I didn't cheat on her. It's just a misunderstanding. Trust me. That's why I need to meet with Quinn again to explain everything."
"What guarantee can you give me to believe you're telling the truth?"
Grayson suddenly took out his phone and showed me the screen with the news. "I told you that I would introduce my fated mate to the public. Just so you know Dylan, Quinn is the one I mean it. But because of this misunderstanding, I failed to do so. If I'm lying, you can fry my words to the media. You can ask them to raid me if I don't introduce Quinn after I meet her and get an apology from her."
I finally turned off the voice recording on the phone I had hidden in my pants pocket. Then I took that thing out. "I've recorded your words. Like you said, if you lie, then I'll hand this over to the media."
"Yes, you can do that, Dylan. You can keep my word."
I took a deep breath. "Quinn is at Owen's mansion. They're arguing and probably looking for me right now. So decide where you're going. You know better than anyone where Quinn would go."
Grayson nodded. "I know," he said without hesitation.
