Chapter 7

Ivy's POV

He dropped me at home and I went straight to my room. Dad was asleep, maybe because it was late. He sleeps early enough. I started crying as I reached there. As if someone has pierced my heart. He never behaved like that. How can he shout at me? Doesn't he like me? If yes, then why did he..? If no, then why did he kiss me? I was a weak-hearted person, so I thought not to think about it.

I slept and waited for the night to pass through. I took sleeping pills, I wasn't catching any sleep.

AL's POV

I went home after dropping her. I was not in my senses. I hurt her. Everything is clear, It's better that I hurt her than them hurting her. I don't deserve her love.

I went inside and Felix called me.

"Yes Bro," I said.

"I told you not to go around any girl"

"When?"

"From the start. Now what?"

"What?"

"You're acting stupid, AL"

"So? My mind is not clear! I don't wanna help them, I can't! But her life is in danger!"

"So what did you decide?"

"Helping them?"

"Shut the fuck AL!"

"So do you have a better plan?"

"Hm. ask Mr. Joe for help," he said and call cut. He was the only one who can help.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I called Mr. Joe.

"Hello" he picked up.

"Hello, AL here"

"Who- oh what!!"

"Don't be shocked, just listen. DCF is planning to kill you. So"

"Why should I trust you?"

"That's the only chance you have"

"Okay okay. We all know you aren't bad. You saved my son"

"Yes, so, spread the word that you're dead"

"Wh-at?"

"Don't leave your house and do all the procedures with any dead body, just make sure you don't get caught. The elections are at the end of the week. Just keep your profile low till then, and once you win the elections, you won't be in trouble"

"Okay. I got it, thank you AL"

"Bye sir," I said.

Yes, I had saved his son once. He's in politics so his son is also a victim sometimes.

🌟🌟🌟🌟

It's been one week. I made sure that the truth doesn't come out. The DCF is blindfolded, and Mr. Joe is dead for all. But what I want to get is now to make sure no one knows that it was OUR plan. It would be difficult to convince everyone that he's alive, but it would work because we'll say that he had taken an oath not to speak or do anything till the elections. So the elections are today and he came out of his house startling everyone.

The media was insane, but the government was providing security to him. It is provided to every political leader before the election and during their rule time.

It was all going on, but the thing that was worrying me the most was that I hadn't spoken to her for a week. But I saw her go to work, so it's fine.

🌟🌟🌟🌟

The day ended, the results came and Mr. Joe won. Now, his life is not in danger. Mine and hers is. I went to her house.

I messaged her to come on the roof but she didn't come.

"Ivy, please it is important" I messaged again. She came and closed her eyes.

"Your life is in danger again. So.."

"I'm not coming with you, sorry"

"No. I'm not asking you to come with me. Just keep…some of my guards here. And take this necklace. It has a small chip. If you press this button then the police will come. Don't worry."

"Can I open my eyes"

"Can I.. help you in wearing it" she was quiet for a second but nodded. I went to her back and made her wear it. Then she opened her eyes (because I was at the back) and saw a button behind the pendant of the necklace.

"T-thank you AL"

"I'm sorry Ivy"

"For?"

"You know it"

"I'm confused"

"About what?"

"Everything," she said. "Do you like me or not!?" I was shocked by her straight question.

"Y-yes, I do Ivy"

"Then? Why did you..."

"Because I'm just a trouble for you, Ivy, you need to understand"

"No. I want to be with you. I don't care about the world"

"But I care about the world, because my world is you, and my dear world, your life is in danger because of me"

"Sorry AL, I can't be like this, I want to be with you"

"We'll talk about it... later"

"Okay"

"Bye, take care"

"Thank you, AL" with that I left.
