Chapter 77: What He’ll Do In Return
'Is it really that easy to throw away someone's life?' Silver asked himself, clenching his fists.
No matter how many times his father ordered him to kill Titania, he couldn't do it. Even if his father killed him, Silver still wouldn't be able to carry it out.
First of all, he couldn't kill innocent people. If it were Simon, though, he wouldn't hesitate.
"No, Dad-"
Silver's words halted when Don Coleman took his gun and fired a shot near his ear. His father's aim was so precise that it only grazed his ear. But the pain was still there. "You'll do it," he aimed the gun at Silver's forehead, "or I will."
And that's when Silver realized that negotiating with his father was impossible in the first place.
Silver swallowed hard before moving on to the second plan he had come up with. He went to Titania's room and spoke to her for the last time.
"Trust me, Titania. I will never let anything happen to you," he whispered to her before leaving the room.
The entire day, Silver hadn't been able to sleep or even rest. Even while he was at school, he couldn't focus much in class. He thought he could relax now that he's home, but it's the opposite. "That fucker," Silver mumbled under his breath, remembering Simon.
Everyone in their school was expressing their condolences because of what happened to Lily. It infuriates him to see how they pitied Simon and wished for his good life.
'They had no idea of Simon's real nature, the same as me and Clyden,' Silver thought.
The three of them didn't deserve any sympathy. If others knew what their family was really up to and the illegal transactions they were involved in, they certainly wouldn't be offering prayers. They would curse them.
"Fuck it," Silver muttered and clenched his fists.
He stood up and sent Titania an encrypted text message. Today, he will help her escape from the house that looked like paradise but was inhabited by demons.
He was one of them, but because of the angel who came into his life, he had decided to do at least one thing right.
Silver had gotten used to having Titania by his side all the time. She listened to every story he shared and was always there when he felt alone.
It hurt to see her go.
"Damn it, don't be selfish, Silver," he muttered before grabbing the gun hidden under his pillow and carefully leaving the room.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
However, he cursed when he noticed the situation outside. His room was soundproof, so he hadn't realized what was happening.
The red lights in every corner of the house were alarming. That meant there was an emergency.
"Hurry up, you idiots!"
"We're screwed if we're not the first to find her!"
Silver quickly ran and hid behind a wall when he saw Don Coleman's bodyguards approaching.
"Women really are a pain in the ass, damn it!"
"Shut up, idiot!"
All he could hear were the bodyguards cursing as they began running in different directions, but Silver remained alert, gripping his gray gun with a silencer attached to the front. Certainly, there would be a bloodbath tonight.
"Fuck!" Silver cursed as he entered the maid's quarters.
Titania was no longer there. Her belongings were also gone, and the pillows and blankets on the bed were neatly arranged.
He quickly ran out and shot every bodyguard he encountered. He didn't shoot them in fatal areas. He would either aim for their arms or legs.
"Sir Silver-"
The bodyguard didn't get to finish his sentence as Silver immediately shot him in the thigh. He knew these bodyguards wouldn't be able to kill him.
He didn't need to shoot them, but he wouldn't let them hurt Titania, especially since he no longer knew where she was.
At that moment, he completely forgot that they were supposed to meet in the garden and that he wasn't supposed to pick her up from her room.
"Fuck, do you even know what you're doing?!" Silver shouted when the bodyguards started shooting him.
He hid behind a wall, panting, his heart racing. The bodyguards kept firing at him. A bullet nearly grazed his arm.
"We received orders from the Don. If you don't come with us peacefully, we have permission to kill you," one bodyguard informed.
Silver peeked at him but quickly hid again as the man fired at him.
'This wasn't possible.' He had a gut feeling that something else was going on besides them just looking for Titania.
His father wouldn't call in this many bodyguards just for a woman who wasn't even skilled in combat.
But why?
"The fuck!" he shouted, his eyes widening.
Just seconds after he asked himself that question, the answer became clear. His brows furrowed as he stared at Simon, who was casually walking into their house with his own group of bodyguards. Simon shot the Coleman bodyguards in the head without mercy. His eyes were dark, as if he were searching for something.
"Where the fuck is the girl?" Simon growled, grabbing one of Silver's men by the neck.
But the man was already dead, so Simon let go of him. The disgust was evident in Simon's eyes as he wiped the blood from his hands onto the guard standing next to him.
"Go get her!" Simon ordered, and his men quickly obeyed.
'We're in danger,' Silver thought to himself as he quickly formulated a plan.
He was at a disadvantage, and he knew Simon wouldn't hesitate to shoot him in the head, especially with the anger in his eyes.
Silver didn't know how Simon and his men had managed to get inside their house, but it was clear that Simon was after Titania, based on what he had said earlier.
It seemed like Lily's sudden death had only added to his madness.
Simon wanted Titania alive, while Silver' father wanted her dead. He couldn't side with either of them. Both wanted Titania to suffer.
He immediately ran to the place where his dead bodyguards were lying before searching through their pockets-finding a phone since he forgot his.
Silver couldn't help but feel heartbroken looking at his people. Some of them had been with him during training. In those moments, he felt as though Simon had taken everything from him. As soon as he found one, he called Clyden.
"You damn fucker, I'm having a good time here banging-"
"It's Silver, you son of a bitch, you're disgusting," Silver grimaced.
"You stole a phone, bro? Whose number is this? You're out of money-ahhh... Sh. it, that's it, baby..."
Silver nearly gagged from hearing the moaning on the other end, but he heard Clyden curse when Silver fired his gun, aiming at the heads of five of Simon's men who were approaching him. This is what Simon did to his men, so this is what he will do in return.
