Chapter 24: End Of The Road

Chapter 24: End Of The Road
Time Skipped To Next Day
...
Jalan Marco felt a panic he had never felt in his life before as though the end of the world was about to come. Or no_ he felt such panic just once when he saw Anna’s body abandoned at that Island. His spies had confirmed that Anna was at the Rogue Vila, and it was Nate who sent men to kidnap and bring her from Cuba. He should’ve known that Sino was not to be trusted. Nate must have done something horrible to the woman again. Nate is mentally sick! And Anna cannot fight him. If she remembers everything, she will get hurt. He won’t be able to get near her and protect her when she finds out everything about his role in this mess.
The car AC was high but Jalan still continued to sweat profusely while driving with a pang of regret for everything. Not that he regretted messing up with so many women in his life, but he surely regretted messing up with Anna’s life. Hell... He’s gone through hell for two years unable to love that woman the way he supposed to. He clearly knew he doesn’t deserve her so he never married her anyway. Who was he kidding? He’d be lying to himself is he says he never wanted her. Hell... It was hard for him to suck up his jealous feelings when Ambrose would send pictures of her chatting and having fun with her Cuban guy friends especially that stupid pizza guy. He never thought his feeling would be caught up with Karma. Whenever he travels for his business, his mind get stuck behind wondering if Ambrose would send more evidences of her outside relationships. She’d make him so nervous and insecure as fuck. She’d make him angry and want to either hate her or punish her with silence.
As Jalan parked over in front of the police headquarter, he caught hold of his breath and admitted to himself once more that it was the right thing to do. He has come to let loose of the dam that will wreck havoc on Nate.
Time Skipped
...
Anna stayed in her room and cried bitterly over and over again. She imagined how much she will have to endure seeing that smirk on Nate’s face when he leaned in twice and kissed her the previous day. He seemed happy thinking she has forgotten what he did to her... And that is eating her insides and making her more horrible. She wished the memories never returned in the first place. She wished she had died back when it all happened.
“Dove! Open the fucking door!” Nate yelled out angrily behind the door of her room, and Anna felt a surge of panic rising inside her heart. What has he come to do?
“I’m coming” She yelled back and quickly wiped away her tears and hurried towards the door.
Nate banged the door on her face and instantly grabbed her by the neck in a choke hold and pulled her out of the room “You bitch! Tell me what you know about this!”
“What...d-do you...m-mean?” She stuttered slowly in confusion. What has she done wrong? What is this psycho asking?
“That fucking whore of a man called the police on me. This is all your fault Dove! And if you dare say anything against me to the police or anyone, I will not spare you one bit! Do you fucking understand?”
Anna could barely shake her head by now. All his barking and whatsoever does not bother her at this point that all she desperately need is… air…
“Sir... We need to do something before they force their way in” one of Nate’s men spoke from downstairs and Nate suddenly released her. She felt so weak in her legs but still managed to catch up with her breathe while standing.
“Let them in” She heard him ordered the man before his hand fall down to her cheeks and started wiping away her tears “I didn’t want to hurt you Dove. I wanted to make you feel good living here with me. Now go wash up and wear something nice. You have a role to play” He whispered into her ears and she nodded in understanding.
Entering the bathroom, she felt relieved that the two friends have finally turned against each other. She wasn’t expecting that Jalan Marco would take such grave step and call the police to Nate’s Villa. Maybe he did it to save himself first. But whatever is his reason for doing so, it doesn’t matter anymore. He’s still the same bastard who betrayed her.
She hurried to take her bath and wore a black jeans and blue tank top from among the clothes given to her by Nate. Someone knocked on her door and she quickly proceeded and open up, expecting to see Nate but instead, her eyes fell on Jalan Marco.
Instantly, the picture flashed into her head again_ Jalan and that woman. She glared at him with hatred while he stood there looking at her as though he was seeing her for the first time.
“Did he... slept with you?” The words fell out from his mouth, hoping to hear a negative reply from her.
Anna shook her head with disbelief. Is he kidding her or what? Is that the first question that bothers him? Well... She will rub it in his face and make him feel pathetic.
“Yeah we did it... Twice actually”
Jalan raked his hand into his hair and turned himself away before she could study his reaction “Fuck! God damn it! You still don’t remember!” He cursed out angrily.
“I do remember everything... Jalan. From the very first to the end” She responded in a calm manner, pausing until his attention has fully returned to her “And guess what? “ She continued “I still think that you’re much worst than my rapist because you are a cheat and a horrible manipulative sociopath... You knew everything, but you hid me in the dark and continued messing with more women. I hope you rot in jail when I drag you into this shit”
“What is wrong with your head?”
Anna felt like the knots in her brain have loosened. A mad rush of anger instantly made her vibrated. “Who are you to ask that?” She threw an angry punch on his chest “I said who the hell are you to ask me that?”
She figured she cannot maintain her calmness while looking at this heart crushing bastard “Get out of my sight” She pushed his frame out of the way and hurried her legs down the stairs. Nate was talking with two policemen but he suddenly froze when he saw her.
“Officers... Take me away from those bastards” Anna started sobbing and quickly attached herself to one of the tall police officer “Please... Take me away from those beasts. They’re bunch of rapists and murderers!”
