chapter 49

Bianca 👄

I'm highly disappointed at Eva's behavior, what she did was so not cool. And I know Fred's temperament, he's gonna kill Jason.

I need to stop him, I have to stop.

This is not the time for Eva and Fred to be fighting. If they continue fighting like this, Grayson's plan will easily succeed.

Hmm, I guess I'm not gonna move out for now. I can't leave this immature Eva, I don't think she can survive without my guide.

I turned to Eva, she is still crying and whimpering softly.

"Bianca please help me stop Fred" she cries.

"You cheated on him, do you know that before you came Fred wasn't the type to settle for one woman?

But because he met you and fell in love with you, he's stop clubbing with other women. He doesn't even give them a second glance, but how did you repay him... by kissing another man"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt him. I'm sorry"

"You should be telling Fred all this not me"

"I know, please help me"

She look so pitiful right now.

Roy walk closer to Eva and glare at her.

"Aunt Eva, you lied to me" he said.

"Roy, go back to the sofa!" I ordered but he shakes his small head.

"She lied, Mom. She promised she wouldn't be like dad, she promised me that she won't cheat on uncle"

Ok, now I remember. Eva did promised him that when we were having breakfast at Starbucks, that was the very first time I saw Jason.

But now she's gone back on her words.

"I'm sorry, Roy"

"I won't forgive you, I hate you! You're just like my dad! You hurt uncle Fred, I hate you!" He said with tears running down his eyes.

"Ok, Roy, that's a time out! No more tv, to our room now!" I ordered him

He gives Eva one more harsh glare.

"I hate you, Eva!" He said and runs off to our room.

I reach for my phone and dialed Fred's number, the phone starts ringing and ringing but he doesn't pick up.

I turn back to Eva and smirk.

Fred 💘

I barge into Luther's office and bang my hand on the table.

"Where the fuck is he??!"

Luther stands up immediately when he sees how livid I look.

"Y-young boss... we're still looking for him" he stutters.

"Your one hour is up! Why isn't he here yet?! Huh!"

"W-we will find him... Just give me a little time"

"Find him and bring him to me, I'm gonna kill him, I'm so gonna skin him alive!!"

"B-oss.. kill him?"

"Yes!! Find him and bring him to me!!!"

I leave the office and angrily slams the door shut.

I need a drink.

I exit the hospital and head towards my car. I get in and drive straight to the nearest bar.

.

.

I pop the fifth bottle open and take it to my mouth, I take a few gulps and slams it on the table.

Loud music blares in my ears but it's barely making any sense to me.

I clung on my chest. I'm having this burning sensation in my chest, my heart feels like it's gonna pop out any moment. The more I think about Jason and Eva, the more my heart ache.

I don't understand why, am I having heart problems now?

"How dare you Jason?!!" I said through gritt teeth.

Two girls walk towards me and sits next to me, one on my right and the other on my left.

"Hey handsome, it's been a while" the one on my right slurs.

I don't know if she's trying to sound seductive but she's failing at it, she sounds like a crying chicken. Ok, I don't know if chickens cry.

"Wanna have some fun with us tonight?" The other one asked.

"Leave!"

"Come on, we will treat you right"

"Leave before it's too late!"

"You seems to have something bothering you, we can make it go away"

"I. Said. Leave!!" I roared at them.

I pick a bottle from my table and throws it across the bar, I hear a crash but I didn't bother to take a look. That is far from my concern.

I'm angry at my wife doesn't mean I can cheat on her too, right?..

Not up to a minute a guy rushes towards me and pulls me up by my collar.

"Let go of my shirt" I told him.

"Let go of your shirt? You just threw a bottle at my girlfriend"

"Let go" I told him again.

"Oh, so you are not sorry ah?"

I just stare at him, it's better he lets me go now before I unleash the anger in me on him.

"I'll so make you regret your action" he said.

He throws a punch at me but I dodged it. I held his fist and twist his arm, I hear a crack and smile. How I love this sound.

I let go of his hand, I clenched my fist and give him a very hard punch on his nose which send him flying to the other side of the bar.

I hear some ladies screaming as they try to run through the door at the same time.

I reach for my gun and aim at him, but before I could pull the trigger someone holds my hand.

"Let go, Jared"

"Why?" He asked.

"I wanna shoot that motherfucking son of a bitch"

"No, you've given him enough beating"

"Jared let go, I wanna finish him up!" I growled lowly.

Jared gaze at my table.

"Is that Eva?"

Eva? In a bar? So now she comes to bars too?

I look around trying to see if I can spot Eva, but I didn't see her, instead I feel Jared snatched the gun from me.

I glared at him.

"Fred, you've had enough fun for tonight"

"Fun?" I chuckle emotionlessly. "This is no where near fun!!"

"Ok, how about we go to your car and talk about this?"

He puts his arm around my shoulder and leads me outside. I guess I had too much drinks, I stagger under Jared's hold.

We stop at my car, and I rest my back against it.

"So what happened? Why did you decide to get yourself drunk? And start a fight in the bar?"

"I'm angry and I can barely breathe, my heart feels like it's gonna rip off my chest and pop out!"

"Why?"

"Jason! Fucking Jason, he kissed my wife. MY woman!!"

Jared doesn't say anything for some time, he studies me and smirk, then he burst into laughter.

I narrowed my eyes at him, so he thinks this is funny.

"I see. So, you are having pains in your heart and you find it hard to breathe!"

I nod.

"Yeah, I guess thinking about it has given me a heart disease"

He laughs but quickly covers it up with a cough.

"Heart disease indeed"

"But before I die of this disease, I'm gonna make sure I kill him"

He sighs.

"Fred, you don't have a heart disease. You are just heart broken, you are hurt"

I stare at him as if he's grown two heads.

Me... Heartbroken.... Hurt..... No, these three doesn't apply to me.

"I'm not hurt, I'm just angry and I want to kill Jason"

"Fred, I know it hurts for having some other guy kiss your woman, but you need to calm down.

You can't kill Jason yet, we still need him. We need to use him against Grayson"

"We don't need him anymore, we will think of another way to get Grayson"

"Fred.... "

My phone ringtone cuts him off. I reach for my phone, and see Bianca's name flashing on the screen.

I ignore the call.

I don't feel like talking to anyone from home, it'll just increase my anger.

"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Jared ask.

"Nothing"

"What if it's something important?"

I scoff.

"I bet it's anything important, she just wants to beg on Eva's behalf"

My phone starts ringing again. It keeps ringing and ringing but I ignored every call.

Jared looks at me as if he wants to say something but he seems short of words.

Soon, his phone starts ringing too. He stare at the screen for some time then he turns it to me. It's Bianca.

"Hello, my angel" he answers the call.

I rolled my eyes. I don't understand Jared, falling in love with someone old enough to be his older sister. Maybe Bianca feels the same way as him.

"What?! Calm down and tell me what happened"

He paused.

"Ok, I'll tell him"

He hang up and looks at me with a frightened expression.

"Fred, it's....."

He trails off and I look at him anxiously.

"It's Eva, she..."

Eva? My ears perked up at the mention of Eva's name.

"She what?!"

"She is trying to hang herself"

"What?!"

I quickly push myself off the car, I get in and starts it and I drove off.

.

.

I rushed into the penthouse. My eyes move around the living room, I spot Bianca sitting on the sofa. I rush to her and see her playing..... games on her phone?

"Bianca!"

She turns to face me.

"Eva is trying to commit suicide and you are here playing games instead of stopping her?"

She laughs nervously. I narrow my eyes at him.

"Actually, I just said that to get you home"

I set my lips on thin lines and glare at her.

But before I could query her, we hear Roy shouts from upstairs.

"Aunt Eva, is hanging from the ceiling"

I quickly run upstairs. I push the door open and rush into our room.

I see Eva's body hanging from the ceiling with a rope around her neck. I feel my legs shake.

I throw my pocket knife across and thankfully it cut the rope, Eva's body drop in my arms.

"Eva, Eva!" I called her.

"Oh my God! This was never part of our plan" I hear Bianca mumbling.

"What do you mean this wasn't part of your plan?"

"We... I... "

"Hold it, I don't wanna hear any explanation now. Just get Luther here!!"

I carry her to our bed and laid her down.

How can she be so stupid as to hang herself? Or was she frustrated at my reaction and did it out of shame?
