Chapter 517 - AYUMI’S GRUESOME END (1/2)

Ayumi waited for Ogawa to declare that he was already on his way. She did not doubt that he would come running to her as soon as she called. He had proved his devotion to her over the years, even when she treated him poorly.

Although they had not talked in the past few months, she knew that he would never give up on her. And if he ever decided to give up, she would only need to give him a little hope, and he would remain on the hook.

She looked at the rearview mirror again and saw that someone from that evil group was holding a gun. The man was aiming at her. She tried to accelerate and get out of the line of sight. However, a bullet was fired and pierced one of the tyres.

She tried to control her panic and get the vehicle back under control. But with that kind of major puncture, she could not do much. The taxi spun crazily before hitting a security fence along the internal roads of the industrial area.

The vehicle came to a violent stop, and Ayumi's head hit the steering wheel, causing her to feel dizzy. But she did not have the luxury of recovering. She knew that the people behind her were not about to give up on their prey.

”I am not available.” A cold voice came out of the phone Ayumi was still holding.

”What?” Ayumi asked with disbelief.

She wondered if she had hit her head so hard, that she could not understand human words. She could have sworn that Ogawa said he was not available.

But that was impossible.

”I am not coming. You should find someone else to help you.” Ogawa said.

”What do you mean? I need your help. How can you turn me down right now? Do you want me to die?” Ayumi shouted.

”You have plenty of people to help you. At the very least, you can contact some of your confidantes from the Shadow Brotherhood. Even though things have fallen apart, you must still have a few people remaining on your side.” Ogawa said with a hint of impatience.

Ayumi laughed as she finally managed to get out of the car. As people often said, misfortune comes in threes. And in her case, it was more like ten. She had made an enemy of Kaito, been kicked out by Yagi, kidnapped by random people and abandoned by Ogawa.

Among all these things, the last one was the most shocking.

”You swore that you would always wait for me. You said you will always love me. Were they all lies? Or are you abandoning me when I need your help the most?” She asked as she broke into a run.

”I was a foolish child at the time, but you can take it as if I am abandoning you. I have other things to do. You are wasting your precious time if you are in as much danger as you claim.” Ogawa said.

Ayumi felt helpless and angry. She wanted to vent her explosive feelings on Ogawa. However, before she could say anything, she heard something that almost made her faint in disbelief.

”Babe, who are you talking to? Come back to bed.” The soft voice was breathy and delicate.

There were some movements before Ogawa responded to the person with him. ”You should dress a little more warmly before leaving the bed. Give me one minute, and I'll accompany you. It is nothing important.”

Ayumi was struck speechless that she stopped her run. She felt like throwing up. She had drunk a lot, been drugged and suffered a head injury. But the indulgent tone with which Ogawa spoke to whatever sl*t he was with is what made her want to puke.
