Chapter 185
185-Please, Leave Me Alone.
The eerie silence and the dark night. Nothing scares me anymore. I saw worse just a few hours ago.
My mom packed our bags, and Akin took us in his car to depart for our new home. My mom had been sobbing in the backseat of Akin's car while I was just silent.
There was a weird war going on inside my head, and I was determined not to take my pills and let my dragon take over and kill everyone else alive.
Nothing intrigued me.
I badly needed Ace to talk with me. She could comfort me with her words.
"Where are we going to live now?" Mom finally stopped crying just so that she could ask Akin what was planned for us.
"Don't worry, you will get a shelter and food," Akin mumbled, fixing the mirror to spare me a glance. I was looking right back at him, so he had to quickly turn his gaze away.
"Do you think what he is doing to us is fair?" Mom mumbled in a crying tone, "And how are you letting him do this to her? Isn’t she your mate?’ It was ironic that now my mother was the one who reminded Akin that we are mates. She was so against the idea prior to this, and look at her now.
"So Helel wasn't going to library to meet up with Jessie," a random thought flashed before my mind and the words just slipped out of my lips.
"What?" My mom turned her whole body to ask me what I was on about.
"He wasn't into anyone else. He was finding a way to save Colt because he couldn't see me sad. ’ I said to my mother with a smile on my lips. The way she was looking back at me was such an uncomfortable gaze.
"Wake up! He is gone. You still have a chance with the other brother,’ my mother pinched my arm and gestured at Akin through her eyes.
I didn't respond to my mother but pulled away to the window side even more to look outside and stare at the moon. I was deeply disturbed. My mind was all over the place.
I kept remembering things about Helel, and they would only hurt me more.
Akin parked the car near the fields and got out of the car to greet a lady, who seemed to have been waiting for our arrival.
"We are going to be living here?’ My mother complained, trying to look around and get as much information about our new home as possible.
After speaking to the lady, Akin returned to us and opened the door to my side while my mom walked out of the car from her side.
"Pamela will take care of you guys. Her husband used to be a loyal servant to my parents, but after his unfortunate demise, Pamela and her son were given a permit to live on this side of the fields as a rogue.’ Akin introduced the lady to us, who watched me with a sad smile drawn over her lips.
She could probably tell I've been through some shit.
"And Pamela! They are your new roommates. Let me know if you need any money or help, okay?’ Akin sounded tired, but he didn't lose his composed posture.
Pamela nodded and reached for my mother to give her a hug. I found reluctance in my mother's body.
"Let's settle you in." Pamela helped my mom with her bags while I rolled out of the car and got interrupted by Akin.
His black coat was wrinkled now. His hair was a mess.
Beatrice! If you require anything, please let me know. Just tell me, okay?" He whispered, his eyes looking for eye contact, but my eyes were stuck far away in the field.
Til be fine. You don't need to help me," I said, not wanting another brother to die for me.
"Here! Keep my cellphone. I will get a new one and text you with my new number." He pulled his phone out of his pocket and held my hand to put it in my palm. But I refused and held my hands behind my back.
"I don't want you to help me anymore. I am extremely grateful to you for doing so much for me, but it should stop here," I said, feeling tears blurring my vision.
"You cannot stop me from caring for you. I will come every day to check on you whether you like it or not,’ Akin's voice turned heavy and shaky, even though he was talking confidently.
"Why? Didn't you see what they did to Helel? If your father finds out you are talking to a rogue and taking care of her, he will hurt you," I murmured brokenly.
"If that satisfies his ego," Akin said.
"Thank you, but please, if you respect me, you will leave me alone," I said, unable to hide the tiredness in my voice. Even if I had to hurt him, I would.
I cannot watch another one of them suffer for me.
Ever since I have come into their lives, I have only caused them pain and suffering.
"I respect you, but I’m not listening to you. You cannot expect me not to worry about you, Beatrice." Akin was never this stubborn. But this time, he was refusing to let go of me. And the only reason he could be doing that was because he realized his brother gave his life for me. He wanted to take care of me for his brother now.
"Do you not know what I did to your brother, Maddox? I slept with Flynn." I had enough.
I needed to push him away.
"I don't care what you did. You cannot make me stay away from you." Akin mumbled as he dismissed my attempt to make him hate me.
I didn't know what else to say or how to convince him that talking to me and showing me his care would make him face the same fate as Helel's. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
I stepped back from him and then, after lowering my head, I followed Pamela, who had returned to the car after taking my mom to her home.
Akin stayed for a few minutes, and then I heard the car engine start and drive away.
