“They were cruel to you. They bullied you because your father loved alphas. He was gay. It wasn’t your fault, but they took it out on you and made you lose your left eye. It hurt me and I couldn’t stand by and do nothing to them. They almost killed you. Do you know how you looked when I saw you in that state 14 years ago? Should I have given more lives to your enemies? If they could take an eye off you, imagine what next they would take from you. I couldn’t stand it. My rage got the best of me and I killed them. What if you had lost a leg? Do you think you would have lived happily to this day? I wanted a bright future for you and didn’t wish to take that away from you. You had a pure heart and tainting it wasn’t what I wanted.”
“After you wiped off my memories, you never appeared in my life again, huh?”
“Yes, I appeared again after a month to be sure you didn’t recognize me, but you didn’t, and I was so happy to see that innocent smile on your face again.”
Wendy’s eyes kept dripping.
“I knew I could bring back your innocence. You were such an adorable little kid.”
“Stop talking.” She whispered. “You are such a hypocrite, Sihwa.”
“I don’t blame you for thinking that way. It is my fault for causing problems to you. I wish I could turn back time and change everything. I wish I could take away your pain-”
“Take away my pain?” Wendy chuckled. “Don’t make me laugh. What pain, bastard? Don’t you dare think of taking away my memories again. You are awful, Sihwa. You killed my bullies. Took them out and my class teacher too, because he punished me when they falsely framed me. You did the opposite of what I wanted you to do. You took advantage of my innocence.”
“I murdered your teacher because he was a pedophile. You told me how he rests his hand on your thighs and rubs on them. I knew what that was, but you didn’t. I took him out of the way with those bullies who choke your face with a nylon fill of water at the back of your classroom. Do you think I would let that go after seeing what they did to you? I became the villain and wished I could be more.”
“You wished you could be more?” She mumbled.
“Yes, if you had given me the chance. Like I said, I wanted to be the only alpha in your life. But I didn’t want to force myself on you. I wanted you to make a choice and I’ve always loved you, but you just didn’t know it.” He laughed a little. “The first time I saw you on the day of the full moon. Your cute cheeks brightened my mood. The way you bandaged my left finger with a white tape because I scratched it on a wall by mistake. How you ran inside your home to get me some ice blocks was so cute. You got so worried, you brought ice blocks and first aid kits to me. You were adorable, Wendy. Became my first love and my affection for you grew each day. I promised myself that I would get you. You made my heart flutter when you sucked on my thumb to stop the blood from coming out, even though you knew it would heal. I never forgot you for a single day-”
Wendy staggered a little and collapsed on Sihwa’s neck.
“And I fell in love with you.” He finished and wrapped his arms around her waist. “I fucking want you so much I want to die.”
Sihwa stood up on his feet with Wendy in his arms and her legs wrapped at each side on his waist. He smiled devilishly and turned to us and said. “Good luck.”
He walked out of the cell.
Her right fist clenched when Chelsea stared at Sihwa walking out of the cell.
She moved over to us, bent down and grabbed our hands.
“I’m gonna break out of this cell. Both of you are to run as fast as you can after me. Don’t slow down until we all get out of here. I know both of you are tired, but if we stay here, he’s gonna kill us.”
“Kill us?” Larcade weakly asked.
“Yes, he wouldn’t let us go. Sihwa will have our heads before Wendy wakes up.”
“How do you know that?” Larcade asked. “Do you know Sihwa?”
I think the same too. He mentioned Chelsea having a son. Does it mean Chelsea knew who Sihwa was this whole time?
“No time for questions. As soon as we get out of here, I will explain everything.” She rushed to the door of the cell and forced it open by tampering with the locks. “Let’s go.” She motioned us to follow her, and we did. We moved slowly and followed every direction she walked.
She sure knows the cell and its corners.
“Run after me.” She whispered. “Now.” She ordered, and we ran. The dark corridors were hard to see where we were running. Still, we did what we have to do. We burst out of the cell walls and saw a wide, luxurious living room.
“Where are we?” Larcade asked, as he looked around us.
“I hope we didn’t walk into a trap.” I murmured and looked around, too.
“The locations have changed.” Chelsea whispered. She took a few steps back and moved to use the door behind us. “Let’s escape from there.” She pointed at the door. We both nodded.
“Where do you think you are going, Star?”
We glanced up above us and Sihwa walked slowly down the staircase.
Star? Who is that?
“Sihwa, do not hurt any of us,” Chelsea calmly spoke and stood in front of us. “These are my friends. I wouldn’t allow you to hurt them.”
“Your friends, Star?” He furrowed his brows and held the black pavement along the stairs as he strolled. “I didn’t know a motionless robot like you had friends.”
I hate to admit it. But this alpha is truly a beauty. How was such an attractive alpha, a monster, still blinds me?
“Sihwa, please don’t hurt any of them. Whatever grudge you have for me, face me.”
“Are you ordering me? Telling me what to do?”
“I’m not ordering you-”
“You just did, though.” He rolled his eyes. “Tell me, what did you plan to achieve by escaping from me?” His eyes widened and Chelsea turned to us and pointed at another door. “Let’s go over there.”
“You think I’m playing, don’t you?”
We ran after her.
“Let’s see you try, Star.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A gunshot?
I felt a heavy shadow above my head and when I looked up at what was falling above us. I yelled at Chelsea. “Get out of the way. Chelsea. CHELSEA!” I called out to her as Larcade pushed me out of the way and the chandelier, which was as big as a BMW car, landed on Chelsea’s left leg.
