Chapter 239 - My future sister-in-law (1/2)

Kris's heart stopped a bit when Ace mentioned Lena.

”So...” Kris was not going to let Ace tempt him. ”She's a big girl, she can take care of herself.”

Ace patted Kris on the shoulder. ”Oh I am sure the woman you choose to be with is wonderful. I am also sure she'll be able to chase out any woman that comes near you. But....” Ace stepped back away from him. ”Can she handle the women that are from our world?”

Kris chuckled. ”I am not like you Ace, I don't leave my targets capable of coming back for revenge.”

”That's right, but I am not talking about your targets, only those that are closest to you. After all, your real enemies are the ones closest to you.” Ace looked at Keso, and then at Collin.

Kris sensed that Tye was finally here. He looked over at the doctor who was rushing in with his emergency bag.

”Take Keso away. You leave with them too.” Kris was directing toward Collin.

Collin did not want to leave but what Kris said goes...

When they all left, Kris gave his attention back to Ace.

”Ace.... you're the second person that I didn't choose to shoot, so stay away. There won't be a next time.” Kris patted Ace's shoulder this time.

Kris turned around and started to walk out.

”You know that I never betrayed you, brother. Not once have I told your grandfather about Hugh.”

Kris stopped his footsteps and turned to look at Ace. ”I don't care what you told the old man. And don't call me brother, we are no longer brothers.”

”You've changed... after you met Hugh. Even before your mother came along.” Ace walked quickly and blocked Kris' path. ”Have you forgotten all the things that we went through together? The training we did and all the blood that we shed together. It was a dark place, Kris... but we had each other. You can pretend that you no longer need me, but I know... we're inseparable.”

”You could have left with me...” Kris replied.

”No, I couldn't. I was not strong like you. YOu think that I chose to stay... but I think you left me.” Ace chuckled. ”So tell me... how does it feel like to be loved? Lena... that was her name right... how does it feel to touch her? Soft...?”

”Don't mutter her name” Kris pushed Ace aside and started walking toward the exit.

”Do you think I'll be able to hug her too? I want that too.”

Kris stopped again, but this time he landed a straight punch to Ace's face. Ace faltered back and hold his position. He touched it lips that got cut from Kris' punch.

”Your grandfather thinks that love had made you weak... but I know it's the exact opposite.”

”Stay away from her, Ace. Final warning.”

Kris glared at the man and then left him alone in the building. Ace licked the blood from his lips and smiled. ”I only wanted to meet my future sister-in-law. You want me to stay away from her... but how can I when she is in danger? I will protect you and everything you love Kris... so at least one of us can be happy.”

As Kris left, he quickly pulled out his phone and check the security system of the apartment and his penthouse. He was quite thankful that he did the upgrade on Lena's apartment.
