Chapter 296 I Am So Scared.
“Abraham, Derrick seems to have found me. How many people do you have with you?
The screech of tires and a sudden stop echoed not far away.
Stella’s breath hitched, and she whispered into the phone, ‘Abraham, did you brake?”
“No”
Stella muttered, “Oh no, this is had.”
If it wasn’t Abraham, then it had to be Derrick..
Stella didn’t dare say more and hurriedly added, “I need to hide.”
Not many, then you shouldn’t
She hung up the phone, quickly turned off the screen, and held her breath as she hid in the bushes.
Through the dense foliage, Stella saw the car door open not far away. Several tall, imposing bodyguards stood around.
Sebastian was the first to get out of the car, followed by Derrick, who stepped out with a cigarette between his fingers.
In the darkness, the men stood under the car lights, their tall, imposing figures exuding a cold, noble air. Especially Derrick. with his long legs, his presence almost intimidating.
Vincent looked at the small red dot on the device. “Mr. Derrick, the location is nearby.
Just as the words left his mouth, a few more cars drove over, and more bodyguards stepped out.
Derrick coldly uttered a single word, “Search”
His gaze, whether intentional or not, swept in the direction where Stella was hiding. His eyes, both reckless and icy, made Stella’s back break out in cold sweat.
Seeing the number of people now gathering, Stella quickly considered calling Abraham again, fearing that his team might not be enough.
“Hurry, search the area thoroughly,” Sebastian commanded, directing the team.
The group scattered instantly, with many heading down the small path, while three or four approached her direction.
Stella gritted her teeth Derrick was ruthless, capable of betraying even his closest friend. There was no low he wouldn’t stoop
She was about to pull out her phone to warn Abraham when, suddenly, another car’s headlights flashed from another direction, the bright light forcing Stella to instinctively turn her head away.
Derrick and Abraham were about to cross paths.
In the brief moment they faced each other, Stella thought they might start shooting, but instead, Abraham’s car stopped, and the man stepped out.
Derrick lazily perched on the hood of the car.
Abraham narrowed his eyes, drew his gun, and fired a shot at Derrick with a loud bang..
The bullet grazed Derrick’s car.
In the silence that followed, he could even hear the sound of his hair being sliced by the bullet.
Sebastian gasped, hurriedly checking on Derrick’s condition.
Finished
Abraham’s eyes were filled with danger. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and dialed the number Stella had called
him from.
The phone rang from the bushes not far off, and only then did Stella snap out of her shock. She stood up and peeked out.
Both Abraham and Derrick turned toward her, and Stella bolted toward Abraham, running faster than a rabbit.
Sebastian couldn’t help but twitch his lips as he watched Stella’s swift escape.
After running all night, does this girl’s legs ever get tired!
Abraham tossed the phone to Abel behind him and caught Stella with one arm.
The familiar scent wrapped around her, and Stella finally felt at ease.
Abraham, I’m so scared,” Stella choked out.
When she had seen Derrick earlier, she feared he would take her to some place where Abraham couldn’t find her. She was terrified of being separated from him again for years.
Abraham listened to her fragile voice, squeezing her thin back, his gaze at Derrick darkening.
He whispered into Stella’s ear, “Let’s go home.”
“Mm
She just wanted to go home–to Falvaria, where she could find Evelyn.
Abraham lowered his head and kissed Stella’s forehead, offering her comfort.
But from across the car hood, Derrick’s cold smille grew as he saw their intimate exchange. The gleam in his eyes turned to ice
Just as Abraham was about to leave with Stella, Derrick spoke up, That’s my fiancée, Mr. Abraham. Where are you taking her?
Mr. Abraham.
In Falvaria, everyone addressed Abraham as “Mr. Abraham, but Derrick was the only one who called him just “Abraham.”
Yet now, that “Mr. Abraham” seemed to further widen the rift in their already fractured relationship.
