DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
part 148's

Devan Pov's.

Three hours passed. Anye must be worried because me and dad haven't been able to give her the news. We were in an old dock that seemed to have been unused for a long time. The walls are hollow, and the roof is broken making the air around here cold especially I forgot not to wear a jacket. Hearing that dad was going to find Daniel I immediately rushed to follow him and forgot about my own situation. This place is a long way from my father's residence, I think it's more than an hour we're driving here by car.

Daniel was in a room. The man does not want to let go of Daniel before his wish is achieved. I didn't understand their language, but I'm sure they wanted something big from dad, as they showed Daniel at a distance to us and brought my son back to the other room.

Daniel looks calm, maybe if another kid his age would cry or scream for help, but my son is great! He has an incredible calm! Even his face looked flat with no expression of fear at all.

We sat in the chair that was provided. Dad was in front, and me and Samuel were sitting in the back, we were surrounded by nearly ten men in black suits, with heavy bodies and high, they were carrying weapons. Be it a gun, or a long gun. Ready to take aim at us all the time.

Samuel's face was bruised, he must have been caught trying to save Daniel. No guards accompanied him. They even paralyzed dozens of father's bodyguards. They were extremely brutal, using weapons blindly, as if life was worth nothing to them. There were minor, heavy, or dead injuries! Was your opponent so great this time? Who are these guys? Why would he kidnap Daniel to threaten me?

They talked to each other while playing chess, sometimes the old man laughed then his expression changed instantly. The sinister cold aura felt more piercing than the cold air out there.

"Sam, what are they talking about?" aska whispered. Samuel leaned his body towards me.

"He wants a project that belongs to Dad!" sam answered equally.

"What project?"

"Only ordinary projects."

"Then why don't you just give it to me?"

"You know nothing!" said Sam. It sucks! I know nothing about this father's project, but is it more important than his grandson's life?

"Why are you so annoying? Are you still grudging me because I once told you to?!" tanyaku.

Sam breathed in tired and heavy.

"This is indeed just a small project, but this project is only for their manipulation only!" said Sam.

Meaning they don't really want this project, and only use it for other purposes?

"Do you understand?" ask Sam without going into more detail. I nodded understand.

"But there seems to be something other than just manipulation." I guess.

"Yes, he also wants revenge for the death of his wife. Father's information on the police got his wife killed!" answer Sam.

"Then how are we going to move next?" my many.

"Just wait for Dad to finish negotiating. I can definitely finish this."

"And we just shut up?" my many. Sam shrugged his shoulders.

Does he have other plans?

A man hurriedly walked towards the old man, instantly their game came to a temporary halt. He nodded and moved his hand. The man's gone.

Tak.

Tak.

Tak.

The sound of shoes came rushing closer. The smell of a very familiar scent smelled instantly in my nose.

Oh no, don't get...

I looked towards the origin of the voice.

Why is he coming?

"Smart girl!" said the old man took his eyes off the game board. He stood up and left the father who was still sitting in his chair. Closer towards the Carnation that had just stopped was exactly five steps before the man.

Neither I, Samuel, nor my father were surprised by Anye's arrival.

"Search him!"

A man is advancing.

"I guess you've got the decency not to arbitrarily have a man touch me!"

The man retreated, a woman came forward in place of the man. He carefully searched my wife's body. Take something out from behind her clothes and throw it on the floor. A pistol? folding knife?

"Clear!" said the woman. Then take out the weapon that was on the floor, and return to the back of the old man.

Anye arrogantly raised a file high in her hand. He spoke. I don't understand their language. But with all the authority you can also understand. Yeah, just think of it!

"This is what you want?" Although I did not understand their language, but I heard Anye say in a cold tone.

Is she really my wife? WAW. It's impressive! Even a male I can only watch my wife from under threat of weapons.

"Is that really the file I want?" ask him not to believe.

"Look! Now where's my son?"

The man laughed loudly. He moved his hand, another man came and took the file from Anye's hand and read it at a glance. He nodded, then returned the file to my wife's hand.

"Give me my son, and I'll give you what you want!"

"File first!"

Bargaining occurred between them. I still don't understand who here will win this negotiation.

We can't do anything. Everyone put a gun to our heads. Dad, me, Samuel, Daniel, and Anye. Maybe if their leader is not satisfied one or even all of us will not escape the bullet attack.

"All you need is me. Let them all go!" the voice of the father was heard from behind the man.

"If you hurt them, don't expect you to get what you want!"

The man laughed triumphantly.

"Friends, I just want a little something out of you. Compared to me losing my wife, just a small project is nothing, right?!" said it.

"If you just want the project I'll give you, but I know your purpose wants it! It's just an excuse as a mask for you to do something else that's inhumane! Please stop!" said father.

"In addition to damaging others, you will also damage yourself! Aren't you afraid of going to jail again?"

"Jail is nothing. It makes me hate you even more! You know how to lose a wife?" His impact. The man walked towards Anye. What's he gonna do? He took out a knife and scratched the tip of the knife into my wife's arm.

"How about today I'll tell you about my feelings first. Which is more valuable in the lives of your wife, children, or grandchildren?" Slowly fresh blood flowed from Anye's arm, Anye grimaced in pain. His white shirt turned slightly red because of his blood.

"Hey, let go of my wife!" I shouted in a language I was sure they could understand as well. Although I don't understand what they're talking about, but I do know something that definitely isn't good that he's saying, let alone that he's been playing with a knife and hurting my wife!

Daniel shouted loudly when he saw Anye was injured. He thrashed asking in released from the big hands of the man behind him. Kick the man's shin until Daniel finally could break away and run fiercely towards Anye. Daniel stood boldly in front of the old man, shouting perhaps cursing at the old man, his voice sounding like anger. Of course, which child in the world can see his mother hurt by others?

The old man looked at me and then at Daniel, and laughed loudly.

"Hey, you! Just blame your grandfather for being so unfair to me!" He lifted Daniel's collar until his feet swung and did not tread again to the ground. The old man threw out my son's tiny body. He pulled out a gun from his pocket, and pointed it at Daniel. I stood up and ran towards Daniel.

Dor!!

The sound of gunfire sounded. My leg hurts, it hurts a lot when the bullet went through my calf. I collapsed three steps ahead of Daniel. Daniel's eyes puffed up to see my bloody feet behind the gray training pants I was wearing. The old man laughed out loud, it seemed like he had gone mad.

"Stop!" Father shouted as the man returned to point his firearm at me.

"Stop this madness! I'll sign it. But don't hurt my family!" said father.

"Why not from earlier?" he said calmly, then walked closer to Carnation and snatched the file in his hand. Walk back to the table and throw down the chessboard until it falls scattered on the floor.

Another man opened his laptop and typed something in there. It only took less than five minutes, one piece of paper was already in his hands, ready to be signed by father.

Dad picked up the pen he had prepared, then started to put the signature there. The old man laughed sinisterly staring complacently at that piece of paper.

A red dot was seen on the old man's shirt, moving upwards past his shoulders then his neck, and then ending up behind his head. The woman who had been searching for Anye ran and hit the old man until they fell. Dust flew on the floor. A shot from outside missed. The gun the old man was holding slipped and fell in the middle.

"You lied!" the old man shouted furiously. Daniel ran to get the gun before the old man could reach him.

"Daniel's. No!" yell Anye. He moved his hand, elbowing the man behind him until the gun in the man's hand came off, Anye grabbed him and ran towards Daniel.

I heard a loud gunshot. Samuel had two guns in his hand. Some of the people behind him were already lying helpless. Including the man who had pointed his gun at Anye.

Anye and Daniel compactly pointed the gun in his hand towards the old man. While the father, looks resigned with a gun on his head pointed by another enemy. My wife and kids are great. Even Daniel who was still bound by his hands he stood with a perfect attitude, without fear!

"Interesting! A very compact family, except for that weak man!" Show me. What's he talking about? Is she trying to suck me up?!

"Shut up and let go of my father!" yell Anye. I saw his hand shake a little. There seemed to be a sense of fear as Anye held the weapon.

"Police are besieging this place and you can't escape. Going back to prison, or dying is your honor!" Said Anye again with a murderous look.

The man moved his leg and kicked Anye's hand until the gun came off. Anye groaned in pain holding her hand.

Daniel fired a shot at the man's stomach, but he was completely unaffected. In her pain she grabbed Daniel and held him back once more. Even strangled my son.

Everyone focused on Daniel, including Samuel, while I slowly walked closer to where Anye's gun had fallen. Walking in limp I grabbed the gun. I've never held a gun. But for now this is the only thing that might help us.

In my observation, the old man no longer had a gun. For a while it could be said that it was my life that was in danger.

I pointed the gun at the man who was sniffing Dad. Trying to calm my heart. My hands tremble. I don't know if I can or not. Hope so!

Counting in the heart. One... Two... Three...

Dor!!

I managed to pull the trigger.

Bruk!!

"Dad!!" anye's cry, echoed throughout the room. I opened my eyes, Dad fell down while the man behind him looked at me sharply.

Deg.

Deg.

What have I done?!
