Chapter 49
Jennie Wilson POV
All my bravery flew away just by seeing him. If I go to him asking for Hayden, there were chances I wouldn’t come out alive. What if he would hit me that baseball bat? I didn’t doubt for a second he would really do that.
To my constant dread, there was more to his vicious personality, but I could never pinpoint what exactly.
I sometimes got good boy vibes from Vincent which was very rare though, but when it comes to Blake…… don’t even ask about it.
There were times when a crazy glint would appear in his eyes, which made me question his sanity, and the amount of hate in him terrified me.
Playing safe and ignoring him seemed like a best thing to do, especially because I wasn’t sure what he would do.
No Jennie!
Don’t back away now!!! I can’t let these cruel bastards win, you promised you would fight from now on, no matter what!
Fight for Hayden.
It was adrenaline which put my body in survival mode for what was about to happen next.
I started walking towards him, and I think he sensed me coming, he side eyed me and his muscles flexed turning rigid and it gave me sudden creeps.
He didn’t even bother to look at me, he resumed smoking, swinging his bat with his left hand more this time.
God save me please!!!
I stood in front him, but I was shaking vigorously. I knew we were in the middle of a place where nobody could hear my scream and I couldn’t think normally next to Blake.
I coughed due to smoke clouding the air, I hated cigarette smell, it gave me headache. He threw his cigarette and crushed it with his leg, though it wasn’t complete, but he still ignored me swinging his baseball bat.
I was frozen completely, and to my horror my voice was not coming out at all, it was like it was stuck in my throat, suffocating me.
He suddenly turned his head in my direction, I flinched and froze in my place, he finally noticing me, and his eyes narrowed instantly.
My heart was beating madly against my chest. I swallowed with difficulty, my palms already becoming sweaty.
” You will keep staring me like that for the rest of your life? I even threw my cigarette for you but all you do is act dead in front of me. Will you speak up now?”
He hissed at me and I gulped and bit my lip ready to speak up but he interrupted me.
” Wait…… let me guess, it’s about your shinny glittery prince charming ‘Hayden’ isn’t it? Well you are little late than I expected, you to be in front of me.”
I was so shocked to hear him insulting me out of the blue that it rendered me speechless.
Oh yeah? Who would want to put their head on a devil’s mouth first! Mr. Volcano! I wanted to scream at him, but I don’t want to be laid in the coffin too.
” Where is Hayden? ” I said struggling to keep myself calm.
” He disappeared, Puff gone.” Blake mocked me, I don’t why but his words ignited in me and I clenched my fist.
” I am not here to hear your Grandma jokes jerk! What did you do to him? Where is he?”
” Wow nerves of you to speak me in that tone girl.” Blake sniggered but it died within a second, his eyes getting darker and sudden spark of fear crept over me.
He then hovered over me and I froze in my place, rattling me to the core ” You know whoever speaks me with that tone they are instantly dead by my hand……?”
I backed a little but he eliminated the distance between us, his menacing eyes bore into me.
God what is he???? So much temper!!!
” But I will let it slide away just for you kid…… since you are Vincent’s property, I don’t want him to come angrily and f*** my case up.”
Did he call me Vincent’s property again!
” And as per that Hayden, he’s gone. He has left the country to study abroad, he is probably studying in the new university for good…… leaving his Juliet here all by her self.”
Left the country to study abroad?
I looked him with my mouth open, his words rendering me speechless. I looked into his face but he seemed dead serious.
” You don’t believe me???? Then look at the picture clicked by my agents there.” Blake took out his iPhone and tossed it over me.
I watched the video in disbelief, my hands shaking terribly. Hayden had transferred to another country, his admission certificate, he was walking freely and there were many more photos and videos of him.
Blake chuckled ” What’s with that look? Don’t tell me you expected him to linger around you like a lover boy?”
He was waiting for my answer, but with each second I remained silent, hurt and shame blending me, choking me with embarrassment.
” Can’t believe……. Miss all are fake, they are all just a talk. Nobody cares about another, nobody has guts to man up for their girl these days, they just compromise with all these stupid things”
” That Hayden…… left the country just for his family sake, each and every one are just bounded by the reputation, money, status, etc etc…… you would have done the same thing……”
Everything spiraled down in me, and the sorrow seeped through me as I heard his words.
” Tell me…… wouldn’t you choose your parents wish than some random girl who showed up just a few months of time? He just left for good…… obeying his parents.”
He was painfully correct, anybody in Hayden’s place would have had done same thing, he did nothing wrong…… but why was it hurting me so much.
I wasn’t able to breathe evenly from the pressure in my chest. It became larger and larger, and I just wanted to be alone and cry out.
” Seriously……? You and Vincent are just the same…… falling into wrong persons and tagging them as true f***ing love, fly head over heels over them, while they give a zero f*** about you……”
” There’s nothing called true love baby girl, it’s just not there in this world, yeah until and unless foolish people like you are present. ”
” I sometimes wonder if I put you and Vincent together, I bet you people will last till eternity, chanting true love true love together” Blake laughed at me. He was mocking me as well his maniac friend.
” I told that b*tch was not the right person for him even from the start, but he didn’t listen to me, he being an idiot, just blinded by her, even though she hurt her he is still behind her. If I would have been in his place I would have f***ing broke her into pieces before she would have tried to play games with me!”
What! Is he a human first of all?
” Excuse me Mr. Gangster…… What do you know about true love huh? Who are the f*** are you to judge Vincent, Mr. Womaniser!”
” What did you say?” Blake steel eyes bore into me, but I didn’t flinch this time.
” What? Don’t you dare call him idiot, you are not even worth it! Anyone can say I love you, but not everyone can wait and prove its true. Waiting is a sign of true love and patience. Despite everything he stayed by her side, he is still waiting for her. Don’t you dare throw your tantrum at him!”
” It’s easy for you to say it but when you truly love someone, you never hurt them. You will never find a guy like him, I deeply appreciate him for that, I was even ready to get him out of dep-”
My words hung up in air, looking at Blake, his face donned surprise, but there was a slight, barely visible smile tugging at the corners of his mouth and making my heart skip a bit.
He leaned onto the big rock, his face relaxing instantly, his smile getting wider. His expression told me so much, letting me know there was much more to him beneath that hard, cold shell.
Why is he smiling???
” Where were you hiding till now?” Blake chuckled softly looking up at the sky. ” If you would have showed up earlier I would have definitely married you to Vincent.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Heh!!!?
I blushed hard by his words, my heart hammering against my chest. ” What non…… nonsense. I… I… will…… never marry him!”
Blake laughed at me ” Wait… are you blushing?”
” Cut it out Blake!” My voice squeaked out betraying me, bringing me much more humiliation.
” Cute…” Blake whispered to himself, chuckling softly. I never saw this side of him.
Blake sighed, running his hand on his hair ” I was not insulting Vincent, it’s just…… it’s devastating, it hurts…… a good soul kept on falling apart right in front of my eyes and I couldn’t do anything. I was way too late, I was completely powerless. Maybe if I wouldn’t have-”
Blake paused for a moment, like he was holding something back, his arm turning rigid, as he battled with his emotions.
” What kind of friend am I, when he needed me the most I wasn’t present there. That guilt still haunts me. With that guilt I let him do whatever he wants, even though his mind plays the game and overrules him.”
” I just clean around the mess created by Vincent, do you think Hayden would have survived here after what he did there in canteen? He would have been easily targeted and blacklisted in this university by others. I had no choice but to send him to study abroad. ”
” Be fortunate that he is happy there, I sent him into another famous university, he even got the branch he desired, he never wanted nutrition engineering in first place…… I paid a huge donation and bought him seat in his desired branch.”
” I took all his expenses, did everything for him, so don’t you dare blame me with ‘ruined his life’ type accusations. All false rumours are spreading here and nothing else. “
