So she’s part of this, huh?


    I knew it!


    I just didn’t expect Lem would be a part of all this. He’s actually the mastermind…


    ” Oh, how’s Keian, Nass?” She said in a sweet tone that makes me want to puke.


    I gave her a cold stare.


    ” You loved him, don’t you?” She pouted and even pretended to observe her nails.


    I just noticed that she’s actually holding a KATANA.


    ” Uhhmmm, yes. But I already moved on from him a long time ago. It’s more enjoyable if I see him suffer, so I joined Lem” I gritted my teeth.


    They are doing all of this just because of those shallow reasons?!


    I was about to talk back, but then Kuya Khalil pressed me against the wall to shield me.


    ” Stay here, Nass. I’ll fight her” Namiughed, but we ignored her.


    ” Okay,” I just agreed since I have a hard time moving properly, and like I said before, I might just be a hindrance if I disobey.


    He pats my head gently beforeing face to face with Nami.


    Nami gripped her KATANA and ran towards Kuya, who’s got nothing but a gun.


    I was nervous and worried at first, but as I saw Kuya is making much more progress and is stronger than Nami, I was confident at the turn of events.


    I closed my eyes the minute I felt my world spinning around, but my eyes ultimately opened when I heard a voice.


    ” Wahhhh!” My eyes widened.


    Is that…


    Brylle?


    I took a step closer to the ce where I possibly heard Brylle’s voice.


    ” Nass!” My attention was so focused on where Brylle’s voice could be that I didn’t mind responding to Kuya Khalil calling me.


    Then I felt my hair being pulled harshly by no other than Nami.


    Rage suddenly ran through my veins, so I held her wrist and twisted it around her back. Suddenly having energy again.


    ” Ahhh!” Kuya went over to us, gripped the KATANA at Nami, and pointed it right at her.


    ” Where were you going?” Kuya asked me.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    ” I think I heard Brylle’s voice” he furrowed his eyebrows.


    ” What? But that’s impossible, he’s— wait, Nass!” I started walking back to where Brylle’s voice came from.


    ” I’ll just check! Then I’ll go back here after making sure!” I know Kuya wouldn’t just let Nami go. He needs witnesses for his agency…


    ” Ah— damn it! Nass!” I faced Kuya and saw he threw a gun at me.


    I easily caught it.


    ” Just make sure you won’t die” I nodded at him as if it wasn’t a big deal and continued on walking.


    I sure do hope what I heard isn’t Brylle. I will never find the heart to forgive Lem if it is Brylle.


    He killed our baby, and now he wants to include Brylle in this mess!


    I took a deep breath because as I took a few steps closer, the more I felt that it is really Brylle.


    ” Huhuhu”


    “Keep quiet!” I hid behind a wall and peeked through where the voices came from.


    There stood a man in front of another room where I suppose the crying sounds are being muffled.


    Looks like the man was annoyed at the child’s cries, so he took a step back and raised his hand that was about to aim a gun.


    My eyes widened, so I immediately shot the man on the head.


    Oh geez.


    Whoever was inside surely heard what I just did.


    I took another deep breath before walking towards the door of the room.


    I grabbed the key on the man’s shirt and opened the door.


    If my room earlier was all white and bright, this one is pure ck and dark inside.


    I heard a squeak.


    As if he was surprised that someone suddenly barged in here.


    ” N-no…” I was stopped.


    Because of the lighting from the outside, I saw the face of the child.


    It is Brylle.


    I gasped.


    He has a bruise on his face and other parts of his body.


    His face is so scared and terrified.


    ” B-Brylle. It’s okay, it’s me, Mama” I went closer to him, but he just scooted closer to the wall.


    I swallowed hard.


    He’s so scared that he didn’t even recognize me.


    I knelt down in front of him and went closer to the point of hugging him.


    He whimpered.


    He tried hard to scoot away even further.


    I came to check his whole body and sighed a relief as I saw he’s not injured.


    I sadly looked at him and tightly enveloped him in a hug.


    But he tried squirming away from my grip while screaming.


    ” Brylle! You’re okay. You’re safe now.” I tightened my arms in reassurance.


    My heart aches so much…


    It’s Brylle.


    It’s really him…


    ” M-mama?” I slightly drew away and looked at him in the eyes.


    ” Yes, baby. It’s me” he stared at me and cried once more.


    ” Mamaaa,” I hugged him back again.


    ” I-I know Brylle. I’m so sorry,” I said in a shaking voice.


    He’s hurt.


    Lem, he brought Brylle here.


    Why?


    Why does he have to do all of this?


    Running my fingers through his hair, I let him cry on my shoulder.


    ” I’m d you’re here, Mama.”


    ” Me too, baby…” I hold him until he fell asleep.


    ” Nass…” I turned my head at the door and saw Erick and Theo.


    My eyebrows creased at the sight of them.


    ” Brylle!” Theo surprisingly said.


    ” W-What are you doing here?” I asked.


    The two men smiled at me.


    ” When ites to saving you, all of us should be there…” Theo stated. But then my mind diverted back to what happened earlier.


    ” B-But Keian and Tito…” They both nced at each other before Erick stepped forward and lend a hand.


    ” It’s okay now, Nass. You are safe. Both of you are safe now” I epted his hand, and he helps me get up while I carry Brylle in my arms.


    Erick’s gesture got me confused there, but now’s not the time to worry about that.


    ” Hah!” The three of us turned to the hallway, where Kuya stopped running the minute he saw using.


    ” Nass! Are you—” Kuya trailed off when he saw my other twopanions.


    His eyebrows met, but then his eyesnded on Brylle.


    ” He’s really here” I rubbed Brylle’s back.


    ” Yes.”
