HIS SWEET REVENGE

Celine’s POV

I race upstairs, with tears blinding me and my body trembling with a mixture of panic and fright.

I need to get my son out. Everything is wrong now. I shouldn’t have allowed it. I shouldn’t have fallen asleep. I should have waited and kept trying Paxton’s number.

I had no idea how I slept off. I was woken up with a jolt when I heard the sound of a gun.

Paxton didn’t follow the plan either. He was supposed to come into my room but he didn’t. The sound of the gun woke me up and I was scared something bad had happened to Bryan which made me rush out.

I saw the flash of hurt on Bryan’s face. It hurt me to the bones. I didn’t mean to hurt him and it was sad to see him hurt. It is as a result of the fact that I know that I am the one responsible for the hurt.

I don’t care whether he has always been the one hurting me all along. I still feel for him after everything but I won’t let that stop me from going with my son.

I need to get my son out.

In one swing, I throw the door open and dash in, looking around the room and wiping my tears so I can see clearly.

I need to get Jason out as soon as possible before Bryan comes up. I don’t want to think about the fact that he has been shot by Paxton. That will make me stay and I don’t want to. I need to go now.

If Bryan meets me now, I will be doomed.

Jason isn’t here, I scream inwardly.

I run over to the large bed but my son isn’t there. Jason isn’t in Bryan’s bedroom.

Where can he be? Where did he hide my son?

I begin to cry more when I realize I won’t be able to leave here safely with my son. I thought I would and the next thing to bother about is how to get Paxton out of that dangerous zone Bryan has gone to keep him.

That is where he usually keeps his offenders and have them dealt with. I once saw him cutting off someone’s fingers years back before I became pregnant and that increased my fear of Bryan.

I believed him to be cruel ever since. I am praying that Paxton will come out of this alive.

This was what I was avoiding. Getting caught and having Paxton and his friends dealt with.

The door opens suddenly and I twirl back to see Camilla coming in. When she spots me, she rushes towards me.

“What happened?” She questions with panic written all over her.

“My son. Where is my son?” I ask her. She must know where he is. I’m sure Bryan asked her to come up here to make sure that no one comes in here to take Jason away.

I know my son is somewhere around. I can feel his presence. He was with Bryan and when Bryan came downstairs, Jason was no longer with him.

She drops her hand with her mouth dropping open in surprise. “Did you invite them? You invited those intruders?”

Realization flashes across her face and I lower my head in regret and shame. She must have figured it out. My persistent begging for her to leave the locks with me last night and my restlessness has given me away.

Camilla will now see me as a bad person but she doesn’t know what is involved. She would have done the same if she was in my shoes.

I am doing this to protect the only person I have left on earth.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“I can’t believe this”, she takes my silence for a yes and expresses her disbelief with a sigh.

“Please tell me where he is. I need to take him with me. I need to take my son with me. Please help me”, I lament in tears, holding her arms.

She shakes her head vehemently. “I’m sorry I can’t help you.”

My tears increased. This is an opportunity. Camilla knows where my son is but she won’t tell me. She is scared of what Bryan will do to her if she tells me where he is or if he helps us to escape.

I burst into uncontrollable tears and slump to the floor.

What is the essence of all of these then if I can’t go with my son?

Paxton has been caught, the plan failed and I have the opportunity to go away freely now that Bryan is busy in his so-called Great Haven but I can’t leave because the reason for all this is missing.

My son is missing.

“If you know what is good for you, you better leave now before the boss comes back”, she advises.

I am not answering her. I can’t leave. I don’t care what Bryan will do to me. I can’t leave without Jason and Paxton.

How can I leave two people who mean so much to me here and I will flee?

Paxton came to help me get Jason. Jason is meant to leave this place with me but none of them are here with me.

“Why did you even do that? What were you thinking? The boss is going to deal with you if he meets you here, I beg you to leave”, she drops to her knees, with her face a few inches away from mine as she pleads with me with pity. “Your son is with me. He is in safe hands so please go. Save yourself first.”

I shake my head but I am unable to find my voice. I want to tell her why I did this. I want to tell her what is involved.

My son is in danger. Being here puts him in great danger.

“Please, Celine. I love you like my biological child and I don’t want you to get hurt. In the same way I will never let Jason get hurt so please leave. Your son is safe with me. Taking him away from here is not advisable and unsafe for you both. The boss said his rivals are out to get him again and we don’t want fate to repeat itself. You need to leave now to save yourself from all of these tortures. Just go and live a normal life with the thought that your child is in safe hands. If you leave with Jason, they will get you.”

“They are just looking for the right chance to get to the action. They are laying ambush for an opportunity and this is that opportunity. Don’t put your son’s life in danger, please. No one will hurt you if Jason isn’t with you. This was the same thing that happened to Helena. They had been laying ambush for months until that night when they got the opportunity to get back to him. It broke him and he will do everything possible to make sure that he keeps his son safe. I don’t want to see that devilish side of my boss, so please leave,  Celine. Jason means the world to him and he will kill everybody standing in his way. Leave!” Tears flow from her eyes as she talked.

I cry more as she raises me from the floor when she knows that I won’t do that if she doesn’t push me to.

How can I leave my son here?

I don’t care whether Bryan beats me up or tortures me more, I just want my son and Paxton to be fine.

I know Bryan will never let harm befall Jason but what about what Paxton told me?

I find myself pushed out of the door by Camilla.

“Go before he comes. He will soon be here”, she says with pleading eyes when I turn back to look at her.

I don’t know I am already out of the room until she slams the door shut in my face and I stand still with numb emotions, unable to move my feet away from the door and run as fast as I can for my dear life.

The moment I hear my son’s cry from the room, I blink, thinking it is just from my imagination.

The cry becomes louder and louder until I can hear it a few distances away from me and I slump to the floor bursting into fresh tears.
