Chapter 238 - Lost her voice (2/2)

As they walked, Lena looked up to see the Ferris wheel up ahead. Kris glanced at her and noticed where she was staring too.

”You want to ride that next?”

Lena looked up at him. ”Yes.”

”Ok.” He tightened his grip on her hand and they both walked to the Ferris wheel.

Even though they had a fast pass, the Ferris Wheel was popular so they had to wait a bit.

It was about to be their turn but then Kris cellphone rung. They both had turned off their cellphone but it was his emergency ringtone... and only that would get pass the silence mode.

Kris looked at Lena... she smiled at him to say that it was okay for him to picked up the call.

”What is it?” He answered.

There was a muffled voice over the call but Lena could not make out the conversation but she could see that something was bad. Kris happy reaction turned dark and his there was anger building up from him.

”Are you sure?” Kris spoke over the phone.

Kris and Lena were still in line. Lena knew that it was probably time to go home... she held his hand while he was still on the phone and walked them out of the line. She sat on a bench while Kris walked a bit further away to talk on the phone.

Lena was a bit worried... she did not like the darkness that was surrounding Kris. After a while, Kris finally hung up the call and walked over to Lena.

”You have to go?” Lena quickly asked him.

”It's not an emergency.”

”But... you should still go.”

”It's our date though...”

”It's fine. My feet are getting sore and my voice is a hurting always.”

Kris walked up closer to Lena and kissed her on the forehead. ”Alright then.”

They both walked back to the car and Kris drove them back to the apartment. Although Kris said it was not an emergency, Lena could tell that something bad must have happened. He was driving faster than usual, but careful as always.

Kris drove to the front to drop Lena off. Lena moved in and gave Kris a kiss on the lips before getting out of the car.

”Are you going to come home tonight?” Lena asked.

”I don't know... don't wait up though. You still have work tomorrow. If I don't come back tonight, I'll visit you during your lunch.”

”Ok.” Lena smiled at him. She turned around and started to walk into the building.

”Lena.” Kris called out to her and she stopped and turned back to look at him. ”Are you not going to ask?”

”You will tell me about it when you come back.” Lena replied.

Kris watched Lena until he could no longer spot her. He focused back on driving and sped his way to where he needed to be. When he reached the building, he quickly got out. Collin was already outside waiting for him.

”Where is he now?” Kris questioned Collin.

”Inside.”

”I am talking about Keso.”

”Both of them are inside.” Collin replied. ”I can't get in.”

Kris stopped walking and turned to look at Collin. ”And Tye?”

”He's coming. Should be here in a few minutes.”

Kris sighed. He quickly continued to walk until he reached a heavily secured door. But before he could even take the time to crack down the door security, it opened.

Kris walked in and Collin trailed close to him. They reached a big wide open room. Immediately, Kris saw Keso who was barely standing, his face was clearly beaten up but he was holding his position.

Kris immediately looked at the other person in the room. The man was a bit taller than Kris but his body structure was much less than him. The man has a red scar on his neck, very visible if not covered up by something.

”Ace.” Kris spoke.

The man looked at him but did not reply, instead, he just smiled at Kris.

”You think beating up my bodyguard means you get a free pass inside again?” Kris spoke once more.

”I still don't understand why you keep such useless people around you... brother.” Ace walked up to Kris.

”Why are you even here?”

”Of course I am here for you..... and your new woman... I heard.”

”The old man asked for you?” Kris laughed. ”You're still a dog to that man...”

”You're wrong.” Ace stopped teasing around and firmly spoke to Kris. ”We are brothers, Kris. Even if not by blood, you know very well our bond is stronger than any of those fake people you have been with. I am merely here for a good cause.”

”You're not needed here nor are you welcomed.”

”Really?” Ace laughed. ”You might not need me... but maybe your girl does.”

”Lena does not need you.”

”And yet.... you are here. You left her alone, didn't you?”
