Chapter 70
"keep sane , hit the button . End his story Miss Waters , you can do it ", I tried encouraging her . I was well aware of the fact that Amanda could never hit anyone or take away someone's life . I took small steps towards her to take charge over the revolver .
James had his hands in the air , denoting the fact that he surrendered . I finally reached Amanda and pulled the revolver from her hands to mine , she sighed .
With every forward step of ours , James took a step backward. "She doesn't knows, does she ?", James questioned smirking.
"Shut the fuck up ", I tried to stop James . Amanda's face was plastered with confusion . On reaching the dead end of the terrace James took a halt . I pulled the trigger to make a shot .
"Let us take his matter in our concern , don't do this Mr Reynolds . There will be a lot of court proceedings after you kill him . I am afraid it will directly or indirectly affect your name and power ", Mr Caleb looked concerned so I pointed the revolver in the air towards the sky . The gunshot's burst made Amanda catch my fore-arms tightly.
I rubbed her hands comforting her . Suddenly, I heard a noise of some chopper . I focused my direction in the air , the chopper threw a harness towards James's direction . He quickly caught hold of it and attached it to his belt.
Mr Caleb marched in his direction with his men , I did the same . I tried to stop him before he flew in the air towards the direction of the air-chopper . He kicked some of Mr Caleb's men when they tried to force him down .
"Why the fuck does he have to escape every fucking time ", I threw daggers at Mr Caleb unsatisfied of the security service he and his men were providing .
I revolved my head to have a glimpse of Miss Waters , she looked shattered and broken . "Leave ", I ordered their useless bunch to move away from us . "See you tomorrow , We're leaving this instance ", I informed Mr Caleb , he nodded and left at once .
Yeah , I didn't really intend to leave the place prior to what I planned as it would create an impression in the minds of public that I was scared of James . But no , not anymore . I didn't want to stay here at the cost of her life . She wasn't really safe there too but at least she was safer then here .
Whilst sobbing , she rested her knees on the ground . I wanted to wipe away her tears but I couldn't . I clenched my fist and avoided myself to create any intimacy .
"Hey-hey-hey it's okay ", I solaced .
"No it's n-not ", she stammered ."It's not okay , don't you get it ", she wailed louder .
"Calm down ", I attempted to relax her.
"He ki-kissed me . He kissed me , he kissed me on my lips ", she started to wipe her lips from her wrists . Her lipstick smudged all over her upper lips and chin. She wept continuously.
How in this fucking world did James kiss her , why couldn't I digest this fact easily? . I pulled her closer to me and engulfed her into a hug . She reciprocated the movement by curling her hands around my back . I rubbed her back as her head was dug into my chest.
"Shush , cry no more . I am here "
"What if he killed you ? I had a dream about it last night "
"So you dream about me, Miss Waters? ", I smirked striving to easy up the mood .
She pulled away at once and straightened her dress after standing up . "Pack your stuff ", I ordered .
"Right now ?", she interrogated .
"This very moment , let me escort you till the room ", I matched her height and walked accompanying her till our room . After packing our stuffs , we bid final good byes to everyone around we were acquainted with . Cody and his guy hugged her tightly , I watched them through distance .
I carried my bag along with hers and pushed it in the trunk and closed it . I adjusted the seat belt around my body , she did on hers too as she took the passenger seat next to me without creating any chaos of her desire to sit on the back seat .
When my eyes met hers , she gave a sweet beaming smile . I nodded at her , I attempted to smile back but I couldn't . I inserted the keys and started the car . The road was dark and foggy as it was midnight . I kept driving continuously knowing the fact that it was a long journey . Maybe now was the time when I should speak up the truth .
