Chapter 242 Promises Calling (Part One)


    For Johnny, a second felt like a lifetime when he fixed his eyes on the fine woman standing right in front


    of him: gracious, deliberate, calm. She felt like a creature out of this world. She felt like an explosive


    experience for his senses, yet very calming and settling.


    The desperation he felt when he sent the whole squad of people searching in detail for her was as vivid


    as before. ''A woman on her own wouldn''t go as far, '' assumed Johnny that night. But she was like a


    phantom and he was wrong. He was so wrong, but only if he knew it! Not even a foot had been found.


    He ordered his people to keep searching the whole day. He forbade them to stop and yet, they were


    retrieved without sess.


    Johnny had lost his mind. He couldn''t get this woman out of his head, and she might have been gone


    forever.


    Even at this very moment, his team was still up and searching. He forced himself to continue the


    search although he was desperate. He had to see her, dead or alive.


    Ca didn''t seem to be impressed by his appearance so she went straight up to the car where the


    driver was waiting.


    "Stop right there!" the man shouted, his voice a strong mixture of anger and excitement.


    Johnny grabbed her hand strong and determined, preventing her from moving any step further. He


    pulled Ca right in front of him and confronted her, "Did you just walked pass me? Youpletely


    forgot what you have promised me, didn''t you?"


    Ca felt his hand. They were burning on her arm, clutching her into the trap of his eyes. She tried to


    twist her arm and escape him, but he wouldn''t let her go. Staring right back at this man, Ca''s eyes


    were nearly on fire.


    "Johnny, You are never going to get away with it because you know that you''re responsible for his


    death. Now, what do you want?! How dare youe to me when he''s still warm? What do you expect?


    Huh?!"


    Ca turned around in ast hope she could escape him, but Johnny stopped her again. He grabbed


    her hand fiercely and yelled with a pressed voice, "I couldn''t care less. Now, I have done my part and


    granted you my help. Don''t even think that you can just walk away from me.


    I remembered every single word of yours! You promised that you are going to be my woman if Terence


    couldn''t make it. Since that is a fact, it''s time for you to fulfill your promise, my dear."


    Ca lowered her head. Behind her longshes, tears started falling down. It took her a brief moment


    to pull herself together. She looked up to the man and spoke with a shivering voice, "Johnny, can you


    just leave me alone for just a second? He''s gone and I don''t even have the courage to live in the same


    house he had lived in when he was still alive! Every corner of the house reminds me of him and our


    time together, so I have to run away from it. Don''t you understand?! Now you''re expecting me to just


    throw myself in your arms after what happened? Fulfill my promise? Tell me how!"


    Ca pointed to the big luxurious house, where she had her perfect life just a few months ago, as she


    poured all her emotions out. The desperation came hand in hand with her trembling sobs.


    She continued, "Yes, I admit that I promised to be with you. But his remains are not even cold yet. I


    can''t just jump right into another rtionship in a blink of an eye!"


    Johnny locked his eyes with hers and suddenly pulled her close to his chest. Grabbing her waist, he


    slowly uttered, "I know that I am responsible for this. Ca, you don''t have to make the decision right


    now. I understand your feelings and I will give you time to walk out of your past. Wounds need time to


    heal, for sure. I am not a selfish monster.


    All I am asking is to see you."


    A while ago, Johnny hired a private detective and found out that Ca had a younger brother that lived


    with her at the Vi. That was the reason why he had spent the past few days waiting here, just in case


    she came back for her little brother.


    He guessed it all right...as usual. This man was smart and predictive. He had the ability to tell people''s


    ns before they could even think about it. Ca returned and felt right into his hands.


    Johnny didn''t give in easily and imed with a firm yet tender voice, "Ca, whichever way that man


    had treated you, I can do it ten times better. All I need is a chance. Will you let me take care you for the


    rest of your life?" Johnny could feel his rapid heartbeat, but his expression remained unchanged.


    After hearing his confession, Caughed both inside and out.


    Yet, neither one was a happyughter but sarcasm, "Fine. You know what? I can give you the chance


    that you''ve been asked for, but I won''t promise it will end nicely. I hope you won''t regret your decision,"


    Ca freed her arm from his grasp and gave him back a fierce look. She then continued with a firm


    voice, "It is the fact that you and that freaking Marcus killed Terence. You don''t seem to understand


    how much I hate you both and it will never fade away. Never.


    With that being said, I don''t care whether you''re capable of being with a woman who hates you more


    than anything in the whole world or not, my heart will never change. You will have to live with it.


    Think this through carefully before you say anything, Mr. Johnny."


    Ca didn''t give him much time to think. She turned around and walked straight to the car waiting for


    her.


    Johnny knew that she was a very strong-minded woman. As she was about to walk away, he squeezed


    her arm once again and shouted out, "Okay! Fine! I get it now! Fine, Ca, I will always be here if you


    need me. I will give you all the time you need, no matter how long that is."


    Ca didn''t want to hear any word moreing out from his mouth. Though she didn''t look back, she


    pretend to be indifferent and said to him, "Mr. Johnny, if you don''t want people spreading gossips


    around telling the whole world that I am a flirtatious woman, who started seeing other people right after


    the death of her boyfriend, I do suggest you keep your hands to yourself."


    "Alright, as you wish." Johnny let her go and watched her slowly approaching the car.


    After taking a deep breath, Ca finally got in the car and rxed her bodypletely on the backseat.


    The driver started the car.


    Looking carefully all the way, Ca signed with relief when she found Johnny wasn''t following them.


    Even if he did follow her, it wouldn''t be a big deal since the neighborhood she was in, was kept safe by

    the hidden guards ced by Terence.


    Everything was nned thoroughly by Terence and with Violet being in the same area, Ca had for


    herself a perfect castle.


    If someone found out where she was living, she could simply tell them that she came here to visit


    Violet. For a month or so wouldn''t raise too much questions.
