Chapter 66: Chapter 66

Rose's POV.

I picked up the tomatoes and blended them before adding them into the pot on fire containing the hot oil.

I was all smiles, my life had been a funny one, from the beginning to the end, right now, I'm not only rich but also got the heart of the Greek god!

Bryan...

Cooking in this paradise kitchen for him makes me look like his wife, that was my happiness, I felt already married to him...

I picked the onion to slice but felt someone step in...

I thought it was one of the maids, I was about to turn when a strong arm wrapped around me...

"Do you think I can stay alone leaving you here?" Bryan whispered nibbling my war sending shivers through me.

"I told you to wait in the room, I would be done soon.." I replied smiling.

"It sounds easy to say but hard to do, you insist on coming here to cook for me, I can't let you do it all alone!" He stated breaking the hug.

"Huh???..are you serious??" I exclaimed staring at the handsome singer right in the kitchen just because of me.

"I had never walked in here before but...you made me do so today, hand the onion to me!" He muttered and I raised my brow.

Really???

I tried declining but he snatched it off and took the knife.

I just watched as he tried slicing it...

His hands were feeble and he was chopping it instead.

I couldn't help laughing as I saw how he struggled to even hold the onion steadily.

"Oh, this isn't in your blood at all!!!" I squealed laughing as he tried more.

"I can do this!!.." He mumbled and looked up.

I burst into another round of laughter as I saw his eyes all wet, he even looked cuter as the eyes were now shimmering.

I took the onion from him and hugged him, I can't believe the depth of his love, he was ready to do what he never did,

"Thank you for the great help!!..but, don't you think you are loving me too much??.." I giggled and he laughed.

After some hours, we were done with both cooking and eating, he won't even stop feeding me.

I took another bath before dressing up for the studio, my heart was beating faster, after today, it would be known finally..everyone would no longer be sceptical about us being together...

Bryan walked out of the room looking so charming that I was mesmerized staring at him.

His hair was now brown from the spray, he held my palm and led me out...

Oh gosh!!

Those palms were also tender and soft!!..he must have never used it to do any tactful work, it was like that of a newborn baby.

We got out to the garage with fleets of cars, I may not be able to explain how rich Bryan is..but just know he got all to feed my whole generation.

The gold ring and necklace he was wearing costs a million-dollar.

**********

Finally, we got to the studio and after some arrangement, we were both sitting in front of the mic as the beating filled our ears.

I closed my eyes feeling the aura, I felt myself floating.

Bryan's voice began the magic sending sparks over me, his voice was that type that would bring out your heart and melt it off.

It was just too good, calling him the best was an understatement.

He ended the first verse and we both sang the chorus.

I began my part and even the manager and producers paused to stare at me, they were too stunned.

Bryan was all smiles as my voice flowed.

We ended it and there was a round of applause from the technical crew who got to hear it right there.

"It isn't a mere gossip that you got the greatest voice, woa!!..this song would heal souls. I bet it would get more stream than ever!" The producer exclaimed.

"That's a true dude... She...." He paused as his phone rang immediately...

He took it out and the caller was Sophia.

"Hello..." He mumbled only for us to hear a cry from the other side.

It was Sophia crying so intensely that I felt fear sweep through me.

"Sophia what is going on??" Bryan asked in a high tone.

She kept crying for some minute before mentioning Fred.

"What happened to Fred???" We asked at the same time.

"Xavier had taken him away!!!!" She shrill and I felt my whole body went cold.

My legs moved back in great shock.

What Sophia said struck me so well that I felt weak, I just pray it's a prank.

It can't be true at all!!!!

Fred had helped us with all he got, Xavier won't spare him.

I quickly dashed out with Bryan following behind.

We got to the car and zoomed off,

Getting to Sophia's house, she was already worn out, her eyes were bulged out from much crying...

"How did it happen?!!!!" I screamed shoving her shoulder vigorously.

"His parent were taken by Xavier and was threatened!!.. Xavier threatened him with the life of his parent, he ordered him to come alone without any weapon..!!!" She explained in a loud shrill.

"Fred went to Xavier alone without any weapon??..are you sure he didn't set a smart plan, you know how good he is at that..." Bryan mumbled breathing heavily.

"This is different!!!.. I saw him!!..we were together when the call came in, it was followed by the video of his parent being tortured!!!!..he didn't wait a second before running to meet Xavier!!!!" She stated and sobbed...

"But, why didn't you stop him, Xavier won't kill his parent, he just needed him, he wants to end his life after finding out he was the mastermind behind his failure!!!" I whimpered.

"Yes, why allow him!!!" Began huffed...

"I tried stopping him but he loved his parents top dearly, Xavier may know about it, Fred couldn't even think straight again, he was ready to even die for them to live!" Sophia cried.

I lay exhausted.

Would I ever forgive myself if he loses his life in this, I'm the one who dragged him to this.

How would I feel again if he dies??

Oh, God!!.. I'm going mad!!

Why is Xavier this desperate???

Just then, my phone rang...

They turned to me as I took out the phone, it was Fred's number.

My heart throbbed in joy as I thought of the possibility of not being caught by Xavier yet...

"Fred is calling!!" I screamed and answered the call.

"Fred, where are you???..stay there, we would come and pick you up, your parent would be fine, promise!!" I kept saying till a burst of loud laughter from Xavier shut me up...

"Wow, what a speech..." He laughed in scorn leaving us all devastated...

"Xavier!!!!!" I growled.

"You remember my voice??..fine, no long talk, in the next 45 minutes, he would die from the poison I injected into his vein. I have the antidote here, just come over to the address sent, some men would then take you to me..let me tell you, don't risk anyone's life by coming with them, they would all be dead before you..the governor is with me in this...." He paused and laughed croakily.

"Xavier!!!!" Bryan screamed and he laughed more.

"If you want to die that quickly, come with her, I won't only kill two of you, Fred would also die alongside his parent..no one can save you all from my claw..." He laughed again sending anger through me.

My breath went hot as I thought of all that just happened.

"Be wise and don't act selfishly, you should know when to drop off your interest to save an innocent life, remember you dragged him into this!" Xavier said and I felt so bitter.

I felt like a curse, was I bad luck!

The phone dropped off, I looked up to Bryan with teary eyes.

He was also in tears,

"You aren't going there right??" He whimpered.

"I shouldn't go??..do you think I can live knowing my life killed him and his family, it's better I......"

"No!!!!!' Bryan shrilled and hugged me tightly.

"I can't allow you!!!" He added holding me tightly.

"Bryan....." I called in tears but he kept wagging his head.

"You aren't leaving me!!!" He breathed.

"Bryan, Fred must not die!!!" Sophia cried.

I felt weakened,

Can I ever have the peace I wanted?

"Five minutes is gone now!!" Sophia added sniffing...

I quickly pushed Bryan away.

"I'm going, I'm sure of coming back, just wait for me!" I smiled out tears before picking my phone and dashing out before he could even get hold of me.

Maybe some way, somehow, fate doesn't set me with Bryan, maybe we aren't meant to be together...

In the end, I may lose my life and he would have to be with someone else.

I board a cab and head to the address...

It took me to the empty road, I stepped down and looked around as the cab zoomed off.

Just then, a black tinted SUV stopped by.

I was gestured in and there were three men In.

"You were a little wise to come alone, you don't know how we waited to wipe any cover..." One of them howled before knocking me out.

I felt blank and fainted...

Kelvin's POV...

I've heard a lot about a man named Xavier, he was once seen as a good man not till his cover was blown off...

He is a real terrorist who had killed a lot of people...

It has been some hours since Celine came back, it surprised me how one of the security guards explained my feelings to her...

Right now, she had agreed to have dinner with me, something she had always declined.

"But, how did you do it??" I asked and he smiled again.

"I'm good at it, so...I decided to help you.." He replied.

"You don't know how happy I am now, you are talking about Xavier, he got missing and hadn't been found!" I shrugged.

"What if he is alive??" He pressed harder.

"It isn't my concern, it is for the cops to deal with.." I waved off dryly.

He sighed and bowed his head disturbed.

Was he even trying to make me fight the so-called Xavier or what??

I don't do such.

"Sir, he is alive and is living with the governor..." He said and I raised my brow at him.

Who is this guy??

A security man who knew this much is suspicious.

"Hey who are you??" I asked and he breathed...

"I'm Jace the singer with Bryan.." He replied and pulled off the hair he was putting on for a disguise.

What??..

Just then, my phone rang...

I took it out and it was my personal buddy Ken, he was the one I put in charge of finding that great voice I longed to find.

"Hello..."

"We have found a unique voice just now...it is too angelic, I'm sure it's her!!" He said and my eyes widened.

"Really??"

"Yes, check it out!!" He said and hung up before sending a voice clip to me...

I played it and the voice of Bryan the popular singer began, I arched my brow and made to turn it off when her voice came up...

She sang the chorus and her verse...

My eyes popped out as the voice echoed in me...

The voice was the same as her own, the same as that voice I heard that day in the hospital...

"This is her!!!!!" I screamed in joy.

Finally, I will find her!
