458 The blackmail

“He couldn’t refuse me because Frank’s family was wealthier than his. He thought we were friends but unfortunately, I was there for you. When they played you, I was aware but I wanted them to hurt you and make you hate them, then I’ll be the only one you can rely on.

“I thought I’d take you out of Jail after two weeks but I was a step too late. Maverick sent Spid to get

you.

“I was enraged. So I killed Ray’s family, the whole of them. I didn’t want to kill Ray yet. I thought I could use him to bring you back to Rose City but he found out who I was and wanted to expose me to you, so I blew up his car and killed him while he was still on a call with you.

“I knew you were with ATOM. Your oldest sister, Emilee and her father did that to you. The reason I wasn’t always by your side and travelled every time was to look for a cure for you. But since I couldn’t, I made a deal with the Dark Age to always do their bidding and in return, I got a suppressing pill. But unfortunately, your mother was always faster to get you a suppressing pill. All the ones I got were left rotting away in my room.

“When I hacked into your system, I discovered you applied to be Celestine’s student. I desperately wanted to be with you, so I found someone who would be taking lessons with you. One was a girl and the other was a nerd, Rubenstein Ye.

“I approached him and killed him to take his place. Everything was going fine until your husband asked his people to investigate Rubenstein. At first, he didn’t find anything but he didn’t give up

either.

“When he finally did, I escaped to the Dark Age but they were already discussing how to kill Maverick and you because you were from the Half heart. I objected and got into a fight with them, so for that, I was imprisoned.

“Now that I’m back and your husband is dead, it’s only right that I take back what’s rightfully mine!”

“You are insane! You have gone mad!” She yelled. This is just unbelievable. Such a thing can only be done by a madman! She thought.

“I’m not, I’m madly in love with you, Rossa. The earlier you accept me, the better it will be for everyone around you.”

Jeslyn’s heart dived to her stomach. “What do you mean?”

“I’ve placed a target on your loved ones‘ back. I sent Rex to the Half Heart. You should have an idea of what will happen to him if he enters their den…They’ll rape him until he stops breathing.”

“No- no, no, no, no, you can’t do that! You can’t hurt him like that, please!” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“I’m not done,” he beamed.

“I sent Matt to a place riddled with new diseases… Actually, there’s no such disease, it’s a trap. I lured him away so I could carry out my plans. But whether he can get away from my people is all up to his strength.

“As for Fin, his life is hanging on a thread right now. The fight is tiring him out and he might fall before tonight.

“Your son, Sisters–in–law, your mother, and that one with Yellow hair. Including Lolita, I hate that girl so much. She’ll be the first to die tonight.”

“Reuben, please, don’t! I beg you, leave them alone, they did nothing to you!”

“True, they did nothing, but you did something. I can’t hurt you, but I can vent on them. Look at my face, Rossa,” he raised her chin to look at his face which had two plasters. One on his cheek, another

on his temple.

“You almost stabbed my neck with a shard of glass. You hate me so much that you don’t mind killing me any moment. Still, I can’t hurt you. Know this, with every disobedience you show me, with every resistance you put up, with every hateful glare you give me, one person you love will go down, promise you. We can start with someone you don’t love, nor hate.”

“Reu- Reuben, wh–what do you want to do?” she panicked and immediately grabbed his hand, with a look of plea in her eyes.

“You should wait to find out.” He pulled out a small phone and called someone. “Where is Manager Kate right now?”

Jeslyn’s eyes widened and she immediately started to fight for the phone. “Please, don’t, I beg you! I promise I’ll be obedient, please, don’t touch her, please!!”

“Someone has to pay for the injury you inflicted on me, Rossa. I have never hurt you, yet you want to

kill me.”

“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again, please, I- I-” Jeslyn held her head with her trembling hands. “Ahh!” She screamed in agony and fell to her knees.

Reuben thought she was acting until she started to twitch on the floor.

His eyes widened and he immediately put his phone away, knelt down and started shaking her while calling her name repeatedly.

Meanwhile, Maverick jolted awake at the hospital. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the needles that were fixed on him. Without warning, he yanked them out and got down from the bed.

The ground shifted and he swayed and sat back on the bed. He rested for a little longer and then got up again. This time, he was more stable.

He opened the door and saw Code 2 and Code 10 standing at the entrance.

“Boss,” They bowed their heads.

“Where is she?” he asked.

“I’m sorry boss, we couldn’t find her anywhere in the Country.” Code 2 explained regrettably.

“Get my clothes,” he ordered.

The two guards raised their heads in bewilderment. Their boss wasn’t healed and he wants to leave?

“Do I have to repeat myself?!” His aura changed, so did his tone.
