Chapter 63 Hotel
His eyes were on mine when I headed toward him, I softly sat beside him; how is he here? How could he be here and Harry is not?
I didn’t understand what I read. Why is his family history so complicated?
Before he could say, I got another notification from my phone, it was Sophie and Adrian leaving a hotel.
Wow.
I felt a wave of anger wash over me.
“How are you here?” I breathed out, while trying to stop the aching that filled my heart, I trusted Adrian and it’s not even been up to a fucking month before he did this to me, he betrayed me, didn’t care how I would feel.
“What do you mean?” Daren asked. “Look we don’t have much time, it won’t be long before he finds out that I am here and we can’t let that happen.”
“What do you mean? Adrian knows that you are alive, but I don’t understand where Harry is.” I asked
I had so many questions, my mind felt hazed, I don’t know if it’s the picture that made me feel dizzy or if it’s the fact that I am looking at someone I am not meant to be staring at.
I didn’t expect him to be here.
“Harry is. I can’t say.”
“Dead,” I asked and he didn’t speak.
Harry didn’t die, but Holden did, if Harry were dead, he could have told me in a heartbeat, but he didn’t, he is hiding something.
I didn’t understand what was happening. The files, it said Harry survived and Daren is dead and now Darren is here.
“Tell me what’s going on? I don’t understand what is happening, I feel like I am losing my mind. I can’t, I thought you were dead, you got killed and now you are here and you may not say it but I know that Harry is alive. Your eyes give it away and so does your answer.” I expressed as I stared at him.
Still waiting.
I know we don’t have much time. Those guards are not loyal to me, they will tell Adrian that I am having lunch with someone, I didn’t need him barging into this place after what he has done
“All you need to know is that, we know about your papa and we know who killed him?”
“What?” I whispered so low, I could feel my throat getting itchy, my mind scattered with thoughts and my fingers found their place in the cup of water. Which I gulped down instantly.
“We know who did it and we want to help, your uncle is not working alone.”
“How do you know any of this?” I asked
Only people are the funeral know that Papa was murdered because of what I said and how he knew about my uncle, why did he care about my uncle?
“Did you? Were you at the funeral and if you were, how didn’t we know about it, did you follow us here to your old town, and if you did, why did you do something like that?” I asked as I stared at him again.
I needed him to speak, each moment that passed, felt antagonist, like I needed to know desperately, at least, let this not be any waste of time.
“Did Holden die?” I asked and he nodded softly.
Adrian didn’t lie about that, the grave is not fake, at least the thought of that made me feel a lot better.
“Just, don’t roam around the bushes, tell me what the hell is going on? Is Harry working with my uncle? Is someone else doing it? The enemy we think there is, is he closer than we can imagine.” I asked, and I almost felt like yelling
Did he call me here so he can beat around the bush, so he can make me think hard about things, I didn’t want that, I didn’t need that at the moment especially with everything I have been through.
“You know what, I am leaving, I can’t stay here anymore. You can’t come here without saying a word, You called me for a reason Darren and if you are scared of telling me what is going on, so be it, I don’t want any part of it, I don’t even want to hear you speak.” I gritted my teeth
I didn’t mean to be rude, I wish he could just tell me.
“You picked out this place because you know you are safe and yet you are not saying anything.”
“Just don’t leave,” he said, he looked skeptical like someone was watching him and it scared me before he handed me something. I instantly placed it inside my handbag.
“No one can be trusted, and hopefully you will understand that, and as for my brother. He is not a bad guy, he is just misunderstood and if you can see through that and get married to him, you must really continue to care for him no matter what you hear or what you say, I risked everything to see you today.” He smiled at me
I didn’t understand what he was doing until I saw a gun in his hand, my eyes were soft on mine, his eyes filled with tears as he stared at me
“Darren, what are you doing?.” I breathed out. “What do you think you are doing?” I yelled.
“Keep the gun down.” I heard a voice from behind, it was one of the guards.
“He is not going to hurt me. I swear.” I breathed out. His hand was shaky when he positioned the gun toward his temples and a tear slipped out of my eyes
I didn’t understand why he would want to do this. Did he come here for this?
My breath hitches when in a second, the sound of a gun was heard and blood splattered all over my body.
A scream falls out of my lips, my body shivered in fear and tears slipped out of my eyes
Darren, no.
