Chapter 45: Because he loved her
“You fucked his girlfriend and got her pregnant. He was taking revenge on you” he blurted amidst pain. He was sighing in pain and the thoughts of going through the same pain for another three times sent a cold shiver down his spine.
Arianna! Jace’s mind went to her. She was someone else’s woman and he slept with her and got her pregnant with Eli. So that is it. Perhaps he was right to be suspicious of her then.
“Who is he?” Jace demanded. Already feeling disappointed about Arianna. He asked her the day he met her in his office and she said she has no boyfriend, no fiance and is not married.
So she was someone else’s woman after all. He needs to know more about her and perhaps shouldn’t think she’s really innocent as he now thought.
The assassin was quiet, he wouldn’t say anything else. He was frolicking with someone else’s woman and expected not to get murdered?
“Since he doesn’t want to say who the fellow’s name is, continue with the bloody surgery. And when you are done, we begin with his wife and only daughter” Jace Hudson declared.
Everyone would feel his wrath. If Eli hadn’t look like him, and if he was not certain that he fucked Arianna first, breaking through her hymen, he would almost believe that whoever her boyfriend was, he sent her after him indeed.
“No.. noo don’t mess with my wife and daughter. You have business with me and not with them” he glared at Jace as his men pinned him down and wanted to remove the next one when he said.
“He killed her but made it appear to be a car crash. She did the third abortion and the boss was not happy because she refused to destroy you and the Hudson’s holding.
Against her assignment, she looks bed you and offered you her body, getting pregnant for you over and over…” he was saying when Jace blurted “Shut the crap”
It’s Clara. His head seemed to swirl around. He was sweating, no, Clara couldn’t have been a spy living with him while they were fucking each other.
But he’s never made love to her without a condom. So talking about pregnancy, it definitely wasn’t him. Who was she sleeping with besides him and her other boyfriend?
Jace turned away and hit his palm against the wall several times. His knuckles bleed and the previous injury on his knuckles at the hospital the previous day was bleeding afresh.
Clara? This is too much. She wasn’t a virgin when he first slept with her, but she told him she’s not with anyone else except him and he believed her. He simply believed her because he loved her.
“It’s a lie. That cannot be true. You think you can deceive me by lying to me!” Jace blurted. The atmosphere became condensed, his frosty tone was capable of making someone shiver.
“You don’t believe me? I was the one who sent you those messages before her death. If you still don’t believe me, give me a laptop connected to the internet and I will show you everything you need to see in my email” the assassin declared.
Without giving an order, one of the bodyguards brought a laptop and the assassin was spelling out his email with which all the information was embedded.
When it gets to spelling out his password he requested a favour “Promise me that you keep my wife and daughter out of this. Kill me after this but don’t hurt a strand of their hair”
“You are not in any position to strike a bargain with me” Jace blurted, feeling furious and impatient to know where their conversation was heading.
The assassin went ahead and gave them the email. The pictures of Clara were displayed, her conversation and the last fight she had with her boyfriend before she died was recorded.
Jace immediately transferred the content of the email into a certain address and said “since she was dead, why were you after me again?”
He felt betrayed. Clara was a fake. She’s not really in love with him as he was towards her. Everything was done for. He loved her to the extent that her death affected him that he became cold to everyone and everything as if they were the reason for her death.
“I don’t care about any of these, I want to know who your boss is?” Jace thundered. His eyes popped out red. The way he felt now, he could choke that assassin to death.
“I won’t. So just kill me and keep my wife and daughter safe” the assassin stubbornly insisted.
“Cut off his toes and remove the rest teeth” Jace Hudson gave an order and walked away. He has gotten that information from the assassin’s email and it would lead him to the real culprit.
He stumbled upon Eduardo. He didn’t seem to be in a good mood and Eduardo understood. You cannot interrogate an assassin and return with a good mood, especially those that are hard to deal with.
“Sir, his wife and daughter…” Eduardo was saying when Jace interrogated him “I sent some information into my email, the one you have access to. Check through it and find the source and the true sender”
“Alright sir” Eduardo said and nodded.
Jace returned to his bedroom, took a bath. He got ready, he was going to the police station first and then he would go to see Arianna in the hospital.
He hoped this time Richard would have been a little calm. The tension and fury of the previous day should be over now. Thank goodness, Arianna is not the woman for which sake he was being targeted.
Chase arrived at the hospital and met Richard. It appeared Genesis had gone home. The two friends talked to each other calmly.
“Richard, about yesterday, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hit you but I couldn’t stand it that you hit my elder brother as well. I know that Arianna is important to you, but she is to us as well, most importantly to Jace.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
You’ve only known Jace’s other side. He is a great guy and someone lovable if you get to meet him as who he is. He is great to be with more than me, he is loving and fun to be with than me.
Don’t judge him from this part of him you know. People said he’s arrogant, aloof and scary, but how else do they want him to be? He controls business home and abroad, his employees, and always on the deck, why wouldn’t he appear so?” Chase said, and glanced at Arianna, the paleness was gone and she looked like someone who was sleeping.
“What happened yesterday was not his fault. He might have been mean towards Arianna in the past but this present one wasn’t his doing. And I’m also glad that Arianna is safe.
When Jace’s fiance died, it seemed that a part of him was gone. He loves her very much and he became introverted and this side of him overshadowed his true Personality.
But after he saw Arianna’s condition yesterday, I saw the old Jace come back to life. His true nature had taken over his sad, unhappy part.
Please don’t be hostile towards him again. Help me to get my brother back. It seems Arianna is the only person who can make Jace be the person he used to be. Please…” Chase pleaded.
Richard didn’t say anything. He doesn’t have the slightest intention of losing temper towards Jace anymore. Genesis had already told him to not go overboard and he said okay.
In as much, Jace isn’t going to hurt Arianna again, he doesn’t have an issue with him. They could be concerned about Arianna as much as everyone can. After all, the sky is large enough for every bird to fly without having to struggle for space.
“Good morning buddies” Jace greeted, standing by the doorway with a broad smile.
