Chasing The Broken CEO
Chapter 26

I wanted so bad to turn my head and look at the guy behind me, however, I can't do a single move. My knees felt so weak right now. For heaven's sake, my life is in danger right now! Once he pulls the trigger, and with only one shot on my head, I will be dead...

All of a sudden, the faces of my parents appeared on my mind. I sobbed loudly as I remembered all the good memories I have shared with them. In just a minute, I missed their smiles and presence. "P-please... Don't... Don't do this... Don't shoot me... Spare my life, please..." I begged for my life with my tears running down my cheeks.

The man laughed devilishly. I still feel the gun on my head. His laugh made me tremble in fear. I am becoming so hopeless knowing that nobody is around to help me. I am stuck with this man whom I don't even know and would kill me anytime.

He laughed once again and I felt that death is really coming after me, and so I cried endlessly, praying that someone would come and save me.

"Oh, fuck! Stop crying, little Missy..." the guy said warily.

How could I even stop my tears from falling knowing that there is a gun pointed on my head? I can't even move my feet due to the fear I am feeling right now! All I could do is to cry and hope that someone would save me!

I prayed that someone would help me get away from this guy...

As far as I know, I didn't make someone's life miserable. I didn't do something wrong with someone! Who do I have to be in this kind of trouble? I still want to live! I love this life regardless of what it gives me! I still want to be free and happy! Is this what I get for escaping from the rules of my parents? Do I really have to suffer and lose my life all because I chose myself once and for all?

If that is the case, then this world is really cruel to me!

"P-please... I... I still... want to... see my parents... Please... I am begging you... Spare my life, p-please..." I pleaded, still shaking in fear, afraid of losing the life I only started to love.

"You really have the gut to say that, huh? You just left your parents hanging in Manila," said by a familiar voice of a man.

My heart pounded aggressively when I realized who owned that ruthless voice. I stopped crying for a moment. I looked at the blurry road in front of me, dazed and confused, doubting whether my hunch is correct or not. It's impossible for him to replace me. It's possible for him to chase me

The other guy laughed. "Damn it, Evan. I already told you that I can replace her! This stunt was fun."

I gasped when the guy removed the gun on my head. I inhaled heavily, still dazed about what is happening. Tears pooled down my eyes as the real situation started to sink in my head.

What the fucking hell...

"I didn't know you want this chase so bad, Risha. If you really want to escape from me, you should've hid somewhere else. You should've gone into places where I won't be able to replace you." Evan preached in his cold tone. What a fucking bastard...

I heard his footsteps and then he knelt down in front of me. Our eyes met which sent shiver up to my spine.

He smiled in a cruel manner. I could see the unknown anger evident in his eyes. I don't understand... My tears started to fall once again.

"I am sorry that you had to be scared like this. I wanted you to learn a lesson..." he added coldly.

The guy behind me laughed once again. Damn it! Who is he, anyway?

My lips formed a thin line, and then I bit my tongue, stopping my sobs.

"I really hate you..." I whispered in a weak tone. I am damn angry but then, my entire body still feel the trauma that I can't even punch Evan on his face!

I just can't believe that this thing happened, that they scared me this way and this unfamiliar guy has pointed a gun on my head!

"I apologize, Miss. This gun is only a toy. I felt like doing a prank. It was my idea, not Evan's." The guy laughed playfully like what he did was just nothing!

I ignored the guy. I swallowed hard and stared at Evan's ruthless eyes angrily. How could he do this to me? He's insane!

"Now, let me ask you. Are you going to escape again?" he asked, challenging me.

I breathed deeply and decided not to talk to him. He stood up and then he held my shoulders and helped me stand up. My knees were still shaking because of the sudden fear they made me feel. Damn you, Evan Zendejas!

"I just hate you so-" I was not able to finish my rants when he crouched in front of me and then wiped the dirt on my knees using his hands.

"Stop creating any trouble, Risha. I was goddamn worried about you," he said and then he glanced at me intently. "I know you hate me that much, and just so you know, I am upset with you, too."

***

I cried endlessly when I went back to the hotel. Evan has followed me all the way here in my room. Everything sank in my head and now that I am sane, I felt extremely mad at him that I just want to strangle his hair until I am sated!

I heard him locked the door. If this is just a normal night, I won't be able to make a single move knowing that we're on the same room but since I am still feeling the trauma and realized the fear they made me feel, I can't do anything rather than crying in front of him.

"Who is that guy? Why did you let him scare me that way? I almost had a heart attack because of what he did!" I yelled at him, sobbing in anger.

He tilted his head while looking at me. He's still eyeing me in a ruthless manner even though I am already crying in front of him. I hate him so much! He's truly a heartless guy! I will definitely strangle his hair if he decides to protect that guy- whoever that devil guy is!

"It was Ash. I apologize if he scared you that way," he simply said.

Ash? So, that guy is one of his closest friends! The one who leads a secret organization which gives security to some top notch businessmen in the country! So, that must be him, huh? What the fuck!

"And you didn't even stop him!" I shouted at him.

I picked up the pouch on the side table and threw it at him. Goodness! If only I could throw the bed at him, I would definitely do so!

"You didn't even know how I felt earlier! I thought I was going to die alone in this place! You fucking jerk!"

My ragged breathing became more evident. I am really angry and frustrated at this moment and I don't care even if I look like a mess in front of him! I am so angry that it feels like I am going to explode, like a bomb all because they made fun of me!

Evan sighed heavily. His jaw clenched and shook his head before eyeing me dangerously. I gasped for some air. His stare was like a warning. He hasn't told me anything yet it feels like he already warned me using his eyes.

"In the first place, it was not going to happen if you did not escape, Risha Nathalie." He stated in a dangerous tone.

"Point taken but still he didn't have the right to threaten me that way, Evan!" I snorted.

"Alright," he sighed in defeat and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I will ask him to apologize for what he did to you. Please, stop crying and drink some water. You cried enough already."

I glared at him angrily. He should've stayed in Manila! He didn't have to come here! He didn't have to look for me! I wanted to be free yet he is here trying to captivate me again!

I feel so disgusted with this whole thing!

I only wanted to breathe but how could I do that when he's around? I am freaking mad right now! I want to punch his face and throw some things at him... In the end, I chose to throw myself on bed and put the pillow on my face. I screamed so many times, didn't care less if he's watching me or not!

"You shouldn't be walking alone at night. You don't even know if the village you visited is safe."

"Shut the hell up!" I yelled at him and screamed my heart out again.

I hate him so much! I hate everything about him!
