BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Kenneth Domanco

“This is crazy! She’s crazy.” Alex said as we got back to our secret room.

“Let’s just tell Jack and so he can pull her back to LA.” Sebastian said.

“What exactly you two talked about?” Max asked me but I stayed silent all the time.

“Is this her way to break you? To reach you? Chloe is crazy.” Luke said and I kept typing on my computer to find something. Suddenly got a report from Cody.

“Conard send her home safely.” Cody said.

“Okay.. good.” I answered.

“Conard send her home?” Aaron stated.

“Ken, we need to do something.” Sky said and again I ignored him. I asked my other team to set up a CCTV inside Chloe’s apartment. A lot of them.. I activated that CCTV and all of it appeared on the big screen.

“You set up this?” Sebastian asked.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I saw Chloe walked in and threw her bag to the sofa. She looked at the flower and threw it to the garbage. She suddenly broke down to the floor and cried.

My heart break.. but I have to hold it. It’s true that Chloe is special but in my situation I don’t deserve her. She’s too perfect for me who is far from perfect. I can’t go to her, if I do.. she will be in more danger. Everyone will attack her in no time.

When I heard Conard went to her by himself, I was burning in anger. Conard is a killer, he kills so many people and he’s targerting me because I always rejected his contract.

Brad and Ollie are no difference and there’s many more outside. I’ve lost my family and I don’t want to lose someone again. I’ll rather pick to see Chloe be happy and married to someone else than I have to be with her and cause her in danger.

My past is enough and losing a lot of people is enough and I’m not losing someone again.

“Be with her, we’ll do anything to protect her. We’re a team right?” I turned to see Max and I turned back to see Chloe still crying. I put my earphones to hear her.

My heart hurted more as I heard she’s crying. I quickly threw the earphones away from my ear.

“Let’s kill Conard, Brad, Ollie and Juven.” Alex said and I turned to him.

“Don’t be a fool, think before you say something!” I bursted angrily to him.

“Once in your life can you stop being selfless! Be happy for once!” Sky bursted angrily to me.

“I’m not losing anyone again.” I said coldly to him.

“I’m going to kill Conard, Brad, Ollie and lastly Juven. If you don’t want to join me then fine.” Max said as he opened the big closet.

“I’m in.” Alex said.

“Don’t be stupid!” I pushed the red button to closed the closet and they looked at me disbelief.

“What does she want exactly?” Aaron asked.

“Me.. she wants me.”

“We can guarantee her safety Ken.” Alex said and I turned to him.

“You gu-”

“That’s 16 years ago Kenneth, stop thinking that you can’t protect them. It’s not your fault.” Sebastian said.

“A strong guy like my dad, can’t even protect his family and even himself. Don’t bring this up, take her to a safe place. Don’t fight with them because I don’t want to lose anyone again.” I said and sighed. I called Cody to take Chloe away from there.

“What are you going to do with her?” Max asked.

“Listen to me.” I turned to them.

“I want you to protect her, keep her somewhere safe. If you don’t feel safe take your wives and kid here.” I said and I walked out from the room. I got into my car and drive out.

‘I love you Kenneth’ Her voice kept replaying on my head

If I can be born again, I want to be an ordinary person. Maybe one day I can meet Chloe as a different person. A really ordinary person that don’t have to think about so many things in life.

Meet her in a coffee shop, have a chat and then asked her for a date. Walked on the street as we see the beautiful lights, watch movies and let her sleep on my shoulder. Make her happy by buying her food, singing to her favorite music and be happy.

Maybe one day I can propose her, build a small house, have kids and even dogs. Waking up because her kisses and eat breakfast together with our little family and enjoying life.

I can’t do that..

I’m sorry Chloe, go find someone else and be happy because I can’t make you happy. You do have a special place in my heart since the day you came again. I won’t forget you and you will always be the one who stay in my heart.

I’m sorry Chloe.. I have to do this because I rather see you be with another guy than let you living in this hell life. Remembering that Alissa has the same journey as me makes me jealous because she’s happy right now when I’m still fighting for my own happiness.

Changing names.. Running away.. No money are things that I’ve gone through that too.

Can I be happy just once? Be an ordinary guy and live a really simple life? I don’t need to be rich.. all I need is to be happy. I don’t know when is the last time that I smile and feeling the real happiness in my life.

I think that’s 16 years ago.
