Chapter 53: Chapter 53

Lara

“Are you Chris Brown!?” I asked him, utterly shocked.

“Yup. How do you know me?” He raised an eyebrow.

“You are on TV all the time. But… where am I? Can you tell me?”

“Sure” he smirked. I was suspicious about him. “Where is Ashley?” I asked him.

“Doesn’t matter”

“Tell me!”

He came to me and took my chin with his thumb. “You don’t know who you are dealing with”

“W-Who are you?”

He smirked. “you are gonna help me get what I want”

“What?” I asked. My blood was already boiling.

“Ashley”

“She is married!” I yelled. Yeah, maybe I don’t know what happened between them but I hate the way he is talking and also he should have some shame because she is married.

“She is not”

“She was married in front of my eyes!”

“Oh yeah?” He laughed. “Well, then she is divorced”

“How are you so sure? Did you talk to her?”

“Do you think I am bluffing?” He laughed. “Of course I talked to her!”

“What is your problem?”

“You are so annoying. I don’t wanna hurt you, so just let me get this straight. You will do as I say if you don’t want me to kill your sweet sister”

“What? Are you fucking threatening me!?”

“Yes I am! Can you stop me!?”

“You are nothing like she said…” I scoffed. So he is the smoking hot guy she talked about? Bull.

“Oh she talked about me?”

“You don’t deserve to know anything!”

He laughed. “You think I need you to tell me something if I wanna know it?”

“What is with your ego?” I scoffed.

“You know what, Lara'' he took a deep breath and looked in my eyes. “I know everything about your boyfriend and you wouldn’t want him dead”

“Again blackmailing” she looked at me with a disgusting face. “You think I would sell out my sister?”

“You have to, Lara” he smirked. “Or would you let your boyfriend die?”

“Why are you doing this? What do you want from her?”

“I don’t want anything from her. I just want her”

“Then earn her!”

“She is in love with that fucking monster!” He kind of yelled. “Can you believe that!”

“He’s probably better than you”

“Yeah you know, he surely is” he came close to me. “Now you should know how bad I can be”

I looked at him, quite scared. I can’t lose Victor. I will lose everything. But I can’t sell Ashley out. Never.

“There has to be a deal… or something”

“okay. Keep your conditions”

I started thinking. “Uh, you won’t hurt her… at all”

“I won’t. I love her”

I gave him a look. yeah, sure, he looks like the one true lover.

“You will not separate me and her…”

“I won’t, she is free to go wherever she wants”

“And you won’t do anything against her wish”

“Okay”

I sighed. I don’t know what else I can ask for.

I know this is wrong too because he will probably be with her without her consent but… I don’t see another way, unless I want Ashley or Vic dead.

“What do I have to do?” I asked him.

“Oh well, I have a condition too”

“yeah?” I looked at him.

“Make sure you do your work well or these conditions won’t last, understood?”

“Yeah…”

“Good”

I scoffed. “Now take me to her”

“Yeah. Now first of all, you will show her this” he handed me a file. It was on Vincent Smith. It had the worst crimes he had done.

“It is edited, though” he smirked at me. “But you will give this to her so that she believe it”

“What’s edited in this?” I asked him and opened the file.

The file was full of Rape cases.

“Uh, that’s…”

“I am sure that Ashley will hate him when she comes to know about this. Make sure she believes you completely. You can only make her believe”

“I-I will”

“Good girl”

I stared at the file. I wonder what her reaction will be… what if she just… you know, becomes depressed… sad…

“And what if she becomes extremely sad after this?” I asked him.

“I won’t let her. I will take care of her”

“okay”

“Now get in,” he pointed towards the car. “The driver will escort you to your house”

“hm”

We got in the car and the driver started the car. I can’t believe I am gonna lie to Ashley. But I don’t have a choice, do I? I will give these papers to her and she will believe it for sure. She will hate him for no reason. I can’t believe I am doing this to her!

Chris Brown is such a sociopath! He literally threatened me twice. I was so scared. What if I made a mistake and someone dies because of me? Oh My God, I can’t imagine that!

I just looked at the front. I know you can do this, Lara. Just hand the file to her and the rest will be done itself.
