BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Kenneth Domanco

“Starting from today, I want Team Beta look over Chloe Regens, she’s working with Angelia North now. Look if there’s anything weird around her.” I looked at Team Beta members.

“Yes sir, is there anything else?” Cody, the leader of Team Beta asked.

“Make sure she doesn’t come here again, that’s all. Thankyou Cody.” I said patting his shoulder and he smiled.

“You can go.. tell me if there’s anything weird and strange.” I said.

“Yes sir.” They all left and I sat down on my chair. Looking up to the ceiling and take a really deep breath. Suddenly the door opened and I looked at it to see Aaron walked in.

“Why is Cody here?” He asked.

“Nothing.”

“Who?” He asked as he sat in front of my desk.

“No one.” I said as I turned to look at my computer.

“Chloe isn’t it?”

“No.”

“Why is Cody here?” I sighed hearing Luke asking the same question.

“Nothing.” I answered the same thing as I answered Aaron.

“Do you know that Max is asking us to go on a vacation?” Luke asked.

“Vacation?” I raised my eyebrows.

“Where?”

“Tennessee, to his cabin.” Luke answered as he sat on the chair in front of my desk too.

“When?” Aaron asked.

“Next week.”

“You guys go, I’m not going.” I said as I type a new contract.

“Dude.. we have to go. Come on, take a week off.” Max said as he entered.

“No thanks.. you guys go.”

“Have you booked the ticket? Or we’re going there by our own jets?” Aaron asked Max.

“We’re driving.” Max said.

“What? That’s 15 hours drive!” Luke turned to Max disbelief.

“Just like old times, we did the same thing like 10 years ago.” Max said and he was right but at that time we don’t have money to afford plane and all we have is one car.

“It’s tiring.” Luke said.

“What are you guys talking about?” Alex asked.

“Why is Cody at the lobby?” Sebastian asked.

“Oh yeah.. why is Cody here?” Alex asked again.

“Cody?”

“Cody why?” Sky entered and I sighed.

“Can you stop asking why is Cody here? I just talked to him.” I said annoy.

“So we’re going to Tennessee?” Sky asked.

“By car” Luke said.

“That’s fun!” Sebastian said and we all turned to him except Max.

“Fun? You go drive then.” Alex said.

“Take 4 jeeps instead, you all have one. We can fit 4 people per inside 1 jeep.” Max suggested.

“I’m not going.” I said and they all turned to me giving me a disapproval look.

“You’re so coming!”

“You guys go without me.”

“It’s been a long time we go to Max’s cabin, let’s take a break for awhile Ken.” Alex said and I sighed.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Who’s idea is this?”

“My wife.”

“My sister.” Luke and Max said at the same time.

“She said she needs a vacation and why not we go there?” Max said.

“I’ll think about it” I said.

“Oh by the way 2 days ago Conard came here?” Sebastian asked.

“Dude what happen?” Sky asked.

“It went fine but Chloe suddenly show up herself here.” I said.

“What?”

“It’s a good thing that I went out from the meeting room first or else.” I closed my eyes and sighed.

“Why is she doing here again? She came to you that morning.” Max asked.

“She asked me to baby sit her.” I said honestly.

“Baby sit? For what? I thought she hates if we teased her about being a kid.” Luke asked.

“She wanted to reach me.”

“What makes her want to do that?” Sebastian asked.

“I made a mistake.” I answered.

“Isn’t it the time for someone to reach you Ken?” Suddenly Alex asked and I looked up to him.

“If you-”

“Don’t start this again, you know why.” I cut Max.

“We’re already 30, until when you wa-”

“I said don’t start!” I bursted glaring at Sebastian and he shut his mouth that second.

“We want you to be happy.” Luke said and I turned to him coldly.

“I’m happy if you’re not blind.” I said coldly.

“We got each other back, if you afraid that Chloe will-”

“Do you know that the fact won’t change?” I asked them all by cutting Sky.

“You deserve to be happy Ken, you’ve done enough for us. Stop caring about us and let us do something for you!” Aaron said.

“Brad killed Roger last week.” I stated and looked at the one by one.

“Do you still think I can let go off my guard?” I asked them and none of them answer.

“Can you at least try if Chloe is trying to reach you?” Luke looked at me and I let out a small sarcastic laugh.

“If you want Chloe to get killed, I’ll let her reach me right now. I’ll let her see through me as easy as I turning my hand.” I looked at them coldly and again none of them talk.

“We know you can protect her.”

“The option is either I die or her or both of us. Don’t be stupid you moron! We never know this kind of situation here.” I bursted.

“Enough thinking about others once in a while Ken, I’m sick of you thinking about others first when you never got to be happy just because you kept giving others happiness first.” Sebastian let out his voice.

“We love Chloe but we love you more and care about you more. You deserve to-”

“Chloe is not that person.” I cut Sky and looked at him coldly.

“Chloe might be the one Ken, we’ll see if she’s capable.” Luke stated and I turned to him.

“You send Cody to watch other Chloe, am I right?” I turned to Alex.

“That’s why you made a mistake by telling her a part of you and she started to get curious.” I turned to Sebastian.

“She’s drunk and she kissed you, you kissed her back fe-”

“If you dare to continue that, I’ll kill you Locason!” I glared at Sky hard.

“Come with us to Tennessee Ken, let’s have fun a little bit.” Luke said and he walked out from my office. One by one start to walked out except Max.

“There’s nothing wrong with trying and taking risk.”

“I’m not risking another life Max, please stop.” I sighed.

“You deserve to be happy Ken, stop living in the past and let’s move on together as a team. We always get your back, you know that.” He said and then he walked out.

I’m not risking another life again, once it’s enough. I’m not going to repeat the same mistake again.
