Chapter 55
Keian slams open the door to the room where I came from, he did the same and loudly closed it shut.
I glared at him to which he also glares back in return.
“Why did you have to get out of your bed when you were just drugged?” He said every word with emphasis and harshly placed me back on the bed.
“I’m not even sure I was drugged.” I pointed out to him.
“Well, the guy whom you just defended earlier is the reason why you fell unconscious.” He turns his back to me and stepped away to mess his hair out of frustration.
“Please, don’t kill him.” I plead to him since I have a bad feeling that they’re serious about killing Nathan.
He faces me with a look of disbelief.
“What the f— Nass? He DRUGGED you.”
“So? He’s still my friend.” He walks over to me and held both of my shoulders tightly.
“He’s the one who attacked manang, he drugged you and he’s the reason for all of this mess, Nass. I don’t care if he’s your friend.” I furrowed my eyebrows at him.
“Do you think he intentionally wanted to do all of that? Isn’t he working for someone else? Maybe everything he did is from his boss and he didn’t want to do any of these in the first place. So don’t accuse him like he’s really the reason why all of this started. You should know that incidents like these happen before starting your own mafia!” I raised my voice as I told him.
Then I suddenly felt my world spinning around so I closed my eyes.
There was silence and I knew he was thinking about what I just said.
“Y-You’re right. I’m sorry.” His fists were clenched as he lowered his gaze at me.
I stared at him to observe the mafia boss. His hair is a mess and he even had bloodstains on his long sleeves polo. I’m sure that he’s really tired right now.
“Keian,” He looks up to me. The sharp intensity in his eyes are still there and his eyebrows are creased but his full expression softened a bit.
“Come here,” I told him. He raised a brow at me in question.
“I said, come.” I demanded. He rolled his eyes but eventually followed my command.
I wrapped my arms around his masculine figure and enveloped him in a tight hug.
“I know I’m not in the position to say this. I am also aware that killing is part of the mafia but you don’t have to kill Nathan, Kei. Please, don’t kill Nathan.” I said.
The room fell silent for a few moments before he shifted position. He’s now sitting on the bed while I am sitting on his lap. Despite my dizziness, I still had the urge to stare at him with wide eyes.
He held my cheek gently.
“I just don’t want you to be hurt.” He sincerely said.
“It’s okay, Keian. I know that you will not let anyone hurt me.” His eyebrows met in unison.
“You were just drugged! You could have died— Oh God, you were hurt because of me.” His grip on the bedsheet was so tight you’d thought it would rip any second.
I gently held his hand until his grip on the bedsheet is loosened.
“It’s not your fault, Keian. It’s nobody’s fault. And I can protect myself, you don’t have to worry.” I smiled at him.
We stared at each other for a long time before he gladly returns the smile.
“I’m sorry for my attitude earlier.”
“It’s okay, I’m already used to it.” I said while fixing his messy hair. Surprisingly, he pouted as if he was even sad about it.
Out of surprise, I observed his lips. Why does his lips looks so baby-ish? You know that? His lips are so red and is never dry? Ahahahahahahaha. Just like with Brylle.
That’s why I pecked a kiss on his lips. It’s what I used to do with Brylle sometimes.
As I broke away from him, we look at each other straight to the eyes.
Shock was evident on Keian’s expression. His jaw dropped and his eyes widened.
He held both of my cheeks again and pulled me back to him, and once again our lips met with each other.
Wait…
Wahhhhhh!!!
Did I just kissed him?! As in, I was the first to give in?
He shifted his hand to the back of my head to make the kiss more passionate.
Ohhh myyyyy!!!
So I just closed my eyes and let the moment happen.
As we broke away, it was my turn to gape my mouth and widen my eyes… due to shame. HUHUHU!
He beams oh so wide as his gaze was focused on me.
Holding my chin, he closes my mouth teasingly.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“You better close your mouth or else… I won’t be able to control myself.” I blinked several times at his statement.
What did he just say???
He stared at me once more and later on, pressed his lips to mine to kiss me again.
I turned away from him and quickly plopped myself on bed to cover my face with a pillow due to the amount of shame I was feeling.
“I closed my mouth!” I muffled through the pillow.
“Guess I really can’t control myself.” He says with a ‘meh’ tone.
I looked at him with narrowed eyes.
“What?”
“It’s because of you!” I pointed like a child. He looked at me with disbelief.
“What did I do?” He asked, smirking.
“Hmph!” I returned my face back to the pillow to cover it real good.
“Hahahahahaha!” My eyebrows creased upon hearing his loud, hearty laugh.
I turned my gaze back to Keian. He’s laughing! Laughing really loud! It’s not forced or something. Looks like he’s really that joyful.
I sat up on the bed and watched him laughing, this made a smile creep into my lips.
“Oh. I’m sorry. I’ve never laughed like that in all my life, just now.” He stops laughing as he noticed me watching him.
He comes to me and sat in front of me in the middle of the bed. Good thing this bed is very wide in space.
He put his hands on my waist.
He stared right through me as if he was searching for something in my eyes.
“Benzodiazepine.” I furrowed my eyebrows as he mentioned some kind of drug. His face turned into something serious.
“That’s the reason why you passed out. But this benzodiazepine is more modified, it can literally kill people. Marques Manufacturing modified the common effects of benzodiazepine so the enemy would fall asleep immediately after inhaling the smoke. Someone modified our product and that’s what caused you to faint. But manang is now back in a coma.” I suddenly became worried at the new information Keian just told.
Is he saying that Diego has someone in his circle to modify this for him? Oh no.
“Manang is back in a coma?” He sadly nodded in response.
“When we checked the security cameras, you and Nathan were the only ones who entered manang’s room before she woke up. Then we checked your friend’s belongings and we found a smoke emmiter.”
“Then how come he didn’t pass out just like I did? He wasn’t wearing a mask when he went inside manang’s room.”
“He somehow inhaled the drug and survived it. Theo thinks that Nathan is somehow addicted to the drug and also immune to it.” I lowered my head because it is possible that that is the case. And I know someone who can do that thing…
My heart was suddenly beating frantically.
Keian stood up to lay me down on the bed and tucked a blanket around me.
“You will stay here. Rest up. I know that you’re still dizzy. So please, stay here.” My eyebrows creased at this.
“O-Okay.” He raises a brow.
“We will go on a mission in the middle of the night ’cause we gained information from Nathan. You’re safe here, so stay put.” I can’t help it and became curious with this mission of theirs, but in the end I just nodded.
He lets out a small smile before kissing me on the forehead.
“I’ll be back.” I held his arm in comfort.
“Be careful.” He touched my hand and gave it a squeeze before walking out the door.
I watched him close the door and immediately heaved out a sigh.
I don’t know what I’m feeling right now.
It’s simply all mixed feelings altogether.
I’m confused of Nathan’s actions, scared of what will happen, and worried about Keian’s mission tonight.
Just like earlier, I felt like something bad is going to happen.
Add up the fact that someone from my past is actually still living…
Hayst.
I’ll just sleep these all away…
