She ran..........
He chased.....
Under the cover of the night, the chase went on. She didn't want to stop. Giving up would result in death, running would ruin her energy and she's poisoned. She was going to die anyway so she kept running. Close to her chest she held the small box tightly. If only there was someone who would hear her. The street was empty, the world was quiet.
She turned to her right and what she met was an Alley. A dark.... blocked alleyway. From behind her he laughed wickedly.
"You can't escape from your fate...... So what if you found out about my betrayal. It's too late! Hand the ring over and die quietly. On account of our past relationship, I'll give you a quick death". He removed the black mask and revealed a very familiar face. Sean! Her brother? No it can't be Sean!! Sean died five years ago in an accident. Sean was her adopted brother, who she fell in love with as they grew up together. In order to prevent them from stabilizing their relationship, her father held a ceremony and proclaimed him an adopted son. She was dissatisfied and aroused her rebellious nature to change her father's mind but here father was indifferent to her efforts. Three days after the recognition ceremony, he had an accident and was declaration to be in a vegetative state. And after a year, he was declared dead by the doctor.
Ria was very clear about this information because, she was had a miscarriage that same day, after hearing the news, she lost the child she had with Sean whom she didn't know existed.
Looking at the familiar face of Sean behind the mask, she narrowed her eyes, "Sean is dead, How can you be him? It's impossible"
"Is it? Did you see my dead body? "
That's right, she didn't see it. She didn't have a chance to.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and the look of hatred towards the person who took away the life of her family members slipped down. She was only overwhelmed with the joy of seeing her brother alive, "Sean, it is really you? You..... Hic...you really are alive. Where h...have you been. I have missed you all these years". Sean snickered, "humph..... What missed. Quickly hand the jewelry over". I've waited for so long to take my revenge on you Clarks. If it weren't for your meddling father and that bastard you call a best friend, I would have gotten my hand on that ring already. You can only blame yourself for being blind and falling for me. Hahaha" there was a bit of melancholy in his voice that pulled Ria back to reality.
"What are you saying Sean..... You always loved me. I'm sorry, I lost our child but... My family they didn't deserve to die like that!What revenge are you talking about? Why did you kill them and ruin my life!!"
Just then a female walked in among the gangsters, she held a gun and shot........
Ria fell on her knees, was she going to die like this? She was in her revelry until that voice called her back to reality. "Don't be so arrogant Ria... Sean's child? A bastard!? Don't make me laugh!"
"Avery....you.....!"
"I what? When did you sleep with Sean. Ria searched herself but she couldn't recall any memories of sleeping with Sean during their relationship. "Naturally you can't remember slut, so i'll tell you......."
"you !"
"Never! "
" Did! "
" I drugged you and sent you to the president of Gretchen's corporations to be his pet for one night. Who knew you'd get into the wrong room. I don't know the father of your child, and I'm sure you don't too. So you better not call such bastard Sean's child... "
The more Ria heard, the harder she accepted it. She, who was kneeling, slumped to the ground rolling due to pains from the poison... As thought a thousand ant were crawling inside her heart, she reached out and tore her clothes crazily "ahh!!!!! Ahhh.... Huh.. eugh....!!!" After a while, she was numb to the pain knowing that the next episode would be worse than this one. She asked the question in her heart, "Sean tell me the truth, all these years you stayed in my house to avenge yourself, did you ever..... Even for a moment fall in love with me?"
But all she got was silence. She waited patiently but no answer. "She's dying, Get the box from her now!" Avery said triumphantly. But Ria raised her head and laughed crazily all of a sudden. The gangsters ignored her and went for the box beating her up and snatched it from her hand. He handed it to Sean respectfully, "here it is boss. Bloody Heart;the treasure of the Clarks. Sean smiled and opened the box buh then as his smile contorted, Ria smiled bitterly,
" 3"
" 2"
" 1"
" Blast!!!! " The entire alleyway was blown up to pieces with no survivor. Ria thought bitterly, if only I never knew you Sean, maybe we wouldn't end up like this.
Goodnight, enjoy the story... 😘❤️
