SEVENTY FIVE
“Hunter, please if you really love me, stop this. I know our baby is happy now in Heaven. Please don’t let Kyla’s baby through what our baby and I went through. Please, our baby will be sad,” I said while caressing his cheek.
I don’t know if my persuasion was effective but I couldn’t think of any other way to convince Hunter. Even though I hate Kyla still I want her alive, I will not let Hunter become a criminal also.
Everyone can call me a martyr but I still love him despite everything that happens.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Is this karma Ley? Is it karma to me for what I did to my baby?” he asked then grabbed me to hug. I can’t afford to see him crying, I am more hurting seeing him like this mourning.
“No, believe me, no,” I said while caressing his head and he continues to cry even more.
Hunter means everything to me back then. And I can’t deny the fact that until now I still love him more than anything. I did wish once that he is the one who did that to me. I did wish that he is the father of Ulysses. Honestly, when I got pregnant, and he gets married to Kyla. I feel regret, why I did not accept him back or why did I not ask him if he can accept my baby, so maybe we are the ones that got married.
“If this is karma, I will accept it with all my heart but I can’t afford to retaliate against them for what they did to us then and for what they did to me now.”
Hunter is crying and slowly removes his hug and now he is looking at Vince and Kyla.
“Hunter, we can’t undo what happened. It’s all happened and we’ve been hurt. I got up and I know you can get up too. Hunter, you’re not a criminal. You didn’t want our baby to fall. You and I know that no one wants that’s to happen even Kyla, I know she didn’t want that either. Only God knows everything that happened, Hunter. So, please that’s enough. Stop this.” I now caress his face as I calm him down and hope he will listen.
He stared at me and also touched my face.
“You should be mine, Ley. I would have been the father of your child if that asshole hadn’t preceded me.” He pointed to Vince. I was shaken because I no longer cared about what had happened before or what should have happened. Which of the two of them planned to kidnap me and who succeeded.
“I am the one who should have taken you, Ashley and I had a plan to take you but that someone blocked my men. Someone preceded me and now I will know that-that idiot is the one who did those. That asshole who also got my wife pregnant!” He shouted.
“Hunter!” Hunter’s gun is now pointed at Vince’s head. “Hunter, don’t, don’t please. Don’t get your hands dirty.” Hunter’s hands trembled. Even I was trembling at what he could do. Just a snap and Vince’s brain is sure to explode on the floor.
“I’m going to kill you Vince because you’re always taking something from me.”
“Y-you d-don’t have to get your h-hands dirty.” Vince tries to talk to Hunter even he is very weak now. “I’m about to die Hunter. I just met with Kyla to say goodbye. I’m planning to kill myself tomorrow but you took over me. Hunter, I’m sorry, but please my son needs my eyes to see.”
Hunter suddenly withdrew his hand then tweaked himself.
“Sorry Hunter, I don’t want to ruin you but that’s the only way I can think of to protect my child. Kyla knew I am Uly’s father so I used her. It’s not Kyla’s fault because I just used her too. I’m the only one to blame for all of this so please have mercy on her. I’m sure our baby is gone because he’s been bleeding for a long time. It’s definitely gone, so I hope you can forgive us.”
“Stop asking! I will kill you!” He then pointed the gun at Vince again.
“No! Hunter, no!” I hugged him while crying. “Stop. Stop!” I cried as I hugged him.
“Ley,”
“Please, don’t do this.”
“Shh, sorry.” I felt Hunter hug me and when I looked up I saw that the gun was no longer in his hand, he already dropped it on the floor.
“Enough please,” I pleaded. “Please,” I said to him while he is staring at me.
“Ley!” The door suddenly opened and Eugene spat from there. He looked at Vince, Kyla, Me, and Hunter. “Hunter,” he said while looking at us.
“Go to Eugene, Ley, before anyone sees you with me.”
“But—-”
“Go to him, please,” he whispered and kiss my forehead.
I understood the situation. When the two found out died with Hunter. He was the only suspect, he was acquitted because he is married to Kyla. But when they see that we are together. I will be the suspect too. And will both be stuck because we used to have a relationship and it may even turn out that we meant what happened to them.
I ran to Eugene then hugged him.
“Eugene, what can you say about what I did to the two who wanted to ruin our lives?” Hunter asked Eugene. I looked at him when he picks up again the gun.
“I don’t know what’s happening to you but can you stop it now?” Hunter just smiled at what Eugene said and sit across from Vince.
“Isn’t it? Don’t you know that my wife is pregnant with another man? Don’t you know Eugene?” There was no trace of fear on Eugene’s face so I was the one who was scared for him because maybe Hunter would turn his anger to him.
“I’m not in a position to interrupt with your problem. I have my own family, children, and wife to protect so I don’t want to mess with yours. My wife and I cut our relationship with you. If there is, it’s because of the business,” Eugene explained.
“Yes, because you’re a good father and you’re a good husband. It’s your luck! Because your wife who once mines is so sensible but I let her go.” Then pointed his gun at Vince. “So, I’m going to finish this now.”
But I was so shocked when Eugene push me and blocked Vince.
“I won’t allow you to kill Vince because my son needs him. I won’t let you be a criminal either.” Then he looked at me.
But I saw Hunter’s hand move and point the gun at Eugene’s chest.
“Move, I won’t hesitate to kill anyone who will try to stop me.” I move fast and blocked Dax.
“Then, kill me first. If you’re going to be a criminal, just kill me first. This is all starts because of me. This is all started because I forced you to marry me before. That is why Kyla got mad at me and she forced me to retaliate and we all got used to it. Me! I am the start of this mess! So kill me now!”I shouted.
“Get out of there! Get out of there, Ley!” Hunter shouted.
“No, kill me now!”
Three gunshots I heard and feel everything stop.
“AHHHHHHH!” At the same time as he shouted, I knelt down and sat on the floor while holding my chest.
