Chapter 309 - Ace and Becca (2) (2/2)
”I thought about a face to face... but I realized that I am not strong enough to look you in the face.” Ace replied then paused. ”You were right... she was never worth it from the beginning. We use to hide here every time grandfather would hit us. You would always take it all in like it was nothing. I would always come here and cry. Remember how you hung me over the edge of the cliff until I stopped crying?”
”I do.”
”Funny how things have changed. You couldn't feel a thing back then... and now our roles are reversed. All I can feel is deep regret.”
”...” Kris did not reply.
”I rushed and ran to her like my life was over... hearing that you were going to take her out yesterday. But you know what? When I saw her body bleed lifelessly on the bed... I didn't even feel a thing. More like I wished she was dead at that moment. I wanted to pull my knife and stabbed her eyes out and cut out her heart.”
”So what did you do?” Kris asked.
”I saved her, of course. Isn't that what you wanted me to do?”
”You can do whatever you want with her.”
Ace let out a breath. ”There is a chip hidden in the cellphone. It was taken out of Becca's body when they pulled the bullet out of her. They thought it was a second bullet but it seemed like she hid some stuff in there.”
”Why are you giving this to me?”
”Becuase... I told you before Kris... we're inseparable. I will protect you and everything you love.”
”And I have told you before, stay away from Lena.”
”Why? Are you scared that I will tell her your deepest and darkest secrets, and that she will leave you?”
”There is no secret dark enough to make her leave me.” Kris assured.
”That's good. Now I really want to meet this woman of yours even more. But... we'll leave that for another date. I didn't look at what was on the chip. But what I do know is that Becca has someone else who can back her if you are no longer hers.”
”Who?”
”I don't know yet... but she'll be dead once I know. But don't worry, brother, I will be the one to kill her this time.”
At that response, the call ended. Kris looked at the cellphone and then cracked open the back. He spotted a small chip hidden in the inside compartments. He took it out and looked at it. It was coated with something so it would not be damaged by water or blood.
What could be so important that Becca had to hide this inside her body?
Kris head back to the hospital while Ace head back to Becca.
When Ace returned, Becca was on the bed eating.
”You're back.” She happily replied. ”I was scared that you were leaving me here.”
”You know that I would never do that.” Ace replied and walked over to her. He took out a cellphone from his pocket and placed it on Becca's bedside table. ”Your phone.”
”Is it... safe?”
”Untraceable.”
”Good.”
”Becca...” Ace sternly looked at her. ”I can't help you further if you don't tell me anything. I can't also keep you safe.”
”I am sorry.” Becca pleaded innocence. ”I will make the call tomorrow morning. You can stay and listen in.”
”Ok.” Ace replied. He kissed Becca on the forehead and left, saying that he needed to prepare some things if they were going to go with their plan.
