Chapter 108
The Dark Secret of the CEO
As Charlize runs out, Darcy pulls Luz inside and blocks the door with various pieces of debris. He burrows her nails into her arm, she can feel them despite her fabric, leads her to a chair in the middle of the dimly lit room and sits her there. â Your telephone. -I donât have it, I left it to my brother⦠I assumed you wouldnât want it. âI donât believe you,â he begins to search her, but besides the belly that disgusts him, she doesnât find anything. At least youâre smart, too bad not smart enough to know youâre not getting out of here. -At least in a coffin⦠â she tells him, trying to calm down â â Hahahaha! Itâs not even that, because I doubt that a grenade will leave you any part of her whole body -(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) he approaches her and caresses her hair with the barrel of the gun-. After that, I will go away from here, to live my happy life, because one less bitch will exist. -Because you hate me? â She asks him with feigned pain, while she sees that the woman takes a rope. I did not do anything to you⦠-Nothing? Nothing?! â He throws himself on her and passes the gun across his forehead -. You came to defend the brat, to run away from my cousinâs side, you made me get out of the house⦠You changed the school brat! Do you have any idea what it took me to get them to see it for what it is? A spoiled brat! Did you make them treat her like this? âYes,â she answers proudly. I told them that she was out of control at home and that she didnât want to be allowed to do whatever she wanted at school. As a lawyer I learned that biasing people towards others is very effective. -But you love Gerard, youâve always been in love with him⦠Why not love his daughter? oh -Because sheâs not mine!! She is that damn traitor, that she got into my Gerardâs eyes and made him fall in love with her⦠I should never have taken her home⦠I had to do something before they got married, I⦠Gerardâs touches interrupt her, she glares at Luz and slaps her hard, but she calms down when she hears her loveâs voice. âDarcy, Iâm coming for you!â Letâs get out of here now⦠my love! -She told me love-she looks at Luz and laughs madly -(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Someone is going to be alone with her bastard! She runs to the door and opens it without looking if she comes alone or not. She lets Gerard in and throws herself into his arms as he looks around the room, looking for a corner where Dan can get in. -My love, you came looking for me⦠I knew you would realize that you love me. -Yes, but we must go out now, Luzâs brother is going to bring the police as soon as he leaves Charlize safe. -How do you know? -she says frowning and walking away from her- -Because he is a policeman, that is what they do. -Yes, youâre right⦠first⦠first let me kill this one and then we go. -There is no time! â He tells her, seeming desperate to escape from her, but the truth is that Dan managed to get in and calls Luz, that she wasnât tied up. I have my car a couple of blocks from here, hidden. -I wonât leave without killing that wretch! â
Darcy tries to turn around, but Gerard hugs her tight and caresses her hair- She looks at Luz, who runs to Dan, but because of her poor lighting, she doesnât notice her and kicks an empty can. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Darcy pulls away from Gerard and sees her run to Dan. -Nooo!! â
He fires a shot into the air and Luz stops a few steps from Dan -, But he doesnât stop, moving in front of Luz, to put her out of Darcyâs path, as a deranged, desperate scream erupts from the woman, who raises her gun to point it at Dan. â Get out of the front! -No â Dan says quietly, without raising his voice â â Get out of there or my hand wonât shake when I shoot you! Gerard takes a couple of steps and she pulls a revolver out of her pocket to point it at both of them at once. -You will not kill this baby, he kills. -Iâm not a murderer!! â Unloads a few more bullets into the ceiling and Luz lets out a sob â For a few seconds there is silence in the place, enough for Luz to hear someone make a sound from where Dan has left, she turns and sees her brother in the gloom, who tells her with his index finger in his mouth that donât make noise She nods and whispers to Dan as low as she can when crazy Darcy starts laughing. Matthias is here. -When I tell you, you run towards him, no matter what you hear or what you kick⦠save my nephew and my brotherâs wife. Darcy looks at Gerard and forces him to walk away, while she cries inconsolably. -You tricked me, you made me believe that you came for me⦠why did you never love me?
-Youâre my cousin, I always loved you⦠-Until she came! (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)-Until she found out who was responsible for my wifeâs death. -No, thatâs a lie, you kicked me out of your house, you took me out of your company⦠you took me away from your side! â
Because you did bad things, but I still loved you. You were my little Darcy, my cousin. -Lies â she tells him, crying uncontrollably, while a mixture of tears and snot fall down her beaten and haggard face -. You donât want to, you never loved me⦠if you had, you wouldnât have married her⦠you left me alone â
Darcy puts his hands to her face and Dan takes advantage of that to whisper to Luz-. â Now! â and she begins to run towards MatÃas, who comes out to meet her -. But everything happens too fast.
