Chapter 9

AL's POV

That day ended and I went back to my house. Well, the DCF was quiet and I didn't get any further responses and they didn't try to contact me. Well, they just got away from the police by inches!

They were almost caught. 

They really fear the police. 

Anyway, I was happy until I received a text. A horrible text. It took all it needs to make me stop breathing. 

"She's gonna suffer hell," it said, and attached to it was a photo of her tied with ropes and a gun attached to her head. 

She was blacked out and a man was holding the corner of her top threatening to tear it. I saw a tear roll down her closed eyes. The gun pointed straight to her head, and the man looked at her with his shit*y eyes. 

"What do you want" that's all I could say as I felt the most vulnerable at that time. 

"Leave this country to save her" they texted. 

Yeah sure. They sure want that, so that no one can come between them and the crimes they commit. After all, I'm the only one opponent they have. After knowing their powers, everyone joined hands with them. If you can't beat your opponent, better to not let them play. 

But do you think I'm selfish? Staying here is the most selfish thing ever. I stay here so that I could fulfill my purpose of cleaning AL's name? Fu*k, let AL go to hell. 

"When?" I asked.

"Now! Right now" 

"Okay. I'm leaving. You can follow me and confirm it" 

And then I packed my stuff. I'm leaving, really. I don't have anything to think about. I can't let them do anything to the only one I ever loved. 

You'll understand me once you are in love. Once when you know that you mean NOTHING in front of your love, and when your love thinks that you are EVERYTHING. But trust me, it's not what it seems. I knew it was coming. I knew it. 

I lost.

I went to the airport. I was going to Russia. 

Nah. Nothing special there. It's just the flight was heading there. And from now I will go wherever the wind will take me? Not kidding. I'm not in that mood. I'm finished.

I paid some extra to get the tickets. I met one of their men on my way. 

"So you're really leaving," he asked amused. 

"Yes, I am. Just don't hurt her"

"As long as you don't return, we won't even touch her and she can return to her old life"

"Fine," I said. Suddenly J video-called me.

"Hmm... Lost?" he said.

"I... I lost" I responded.

"Huh? That's what I wanted to hear always!" he said and started laughing.

"And for our mother's promise," I said. He looked at me with attention. "I'll leave and you promise me to leave her alone," I said.

"Yes, sure," he said. Well, I only trust her because I used my mother's name for this. He won't ever break it. And that's it. 

If you're wondering, then we both are brothers... Real brothers. And due to some circumstances, our mother made us promise... That in this life, we'll have to listen to each other, once. Once, wherever the other asks, we have to do that. Although we have some exceptions like we can't ask for each other's lives, still. And we both loved our mother very much. She's the only reason we don't reveal each other's identity. 

_____________________________________________

I left the country. I reached Russia and decided to change myself completely. 

Sorry, Ivy, I knew we can't be together. Sorry for getting your hopes high. Not in a billion years did I think that he will go for you. That's for the best, what I did. And trust me there, if destiny wants us, we will be together someday. And also trust me right now, all couples are not meant to be together. I told you before, didn't I? My words have some meaning, and now you know what they meant. But destiny is something, isn't it? Not now, not anytime soon. But we can meet... Maybe. 

Sorry, but I'm changing myself forever. I'll make sure not to change my love for you, that's impossible, but no I'm changed. I'll live like the true me from me. AL's dead, Ivy.

Here I come, Russia.
