BAD GIRL LOVE - CHAPTER 75&76
“My baby” she whispered, and Richie felt his heart thumping harder.
He wants to hug her back, he badly wants to hold her, but he’s holding himself back so well.
They’ve been apart for so long, and this isn’t the right time for that, especially after what he saw at the night market.
“Mr. Richie! Your attention is needed by boss!” A staff shouted from the door.
He immediately removed Lovelyn’s arms from himself, though he did it as gently as ever.
He avoided her eyes, so their eyes never met till he walked out of the room.
Lovelyn inhaled and walked to the door to watch his backside till he went out of sight.
Though he said not even a word, but feeling his heartbeats against her chest after so long is surely blissful.
Slowly, a small smile crept to her lips.
*
CEO’S OFFICE*
Richie was beyond surprised when he walked in and met Everest with Mrs. Kelsey.
He stopped by the door for a minute, staring at the both of them surprisingly.
“Come closer, Richie” Mrs. Kelsey smiled, and he went closer, facing Everest.
“You know each other?” He asked.
“I know a lotta people, and she’s one of them” Everest replied, and Richie looked at Mrs. Kelsey.
“Have your sit, Richie” she said, and he did slowly.
“You did well today even as your first day. It’s incredible” she said sincerely.
“Thanks, but…. I’m still wondering why you employed me without an interview” he replied.
“Which is why I invited you here, to explain things” she nodded.
“The other time when I told you Agora cult caused the death of your real parents. You told me you already know, how did you find out?” Bernie asked.
“I didn’t know. I only said that to bullshit you” Richie replied flatly.
“Really?” Everest raised his brows.
“You’re a psychopath who once tried slicing my head open. I wouldn’t give you any chance. I thought you were just bluffing” Richie said.
“Well he said the truth. The cult ki||ed your father on the day you were born, and and you were stolen from your mom. You’re a twin after all” Mrs. Kelsey replied, and Richie turned his head to her.
“What are you talking about?”
“I met Mrs. Kelsey when I was in Oxford. Turns out she has been on my tail since she heard about what happened between us in highschool” Everest replied.
“His curiousity would be useful for this case, and also, he was ready to do anything to earn your forgiveness, and that’s why I involved him. I know about Jillian’s plans, which is why I employed you without an interview” Mrs. Kelsey said.
“I still don’t get, who are you?” Richie asked.
“I was once a nurse at Garam Hospital where you were birthed, and back then in the hospital, Tsunami was the head doctor” Mrs. Kelsey said.
“Tsunami? He’s one of the cult” Richie frowned.
“Yeah, and she’s a woman, she did transgender” Everest said.
“What!”
“Yeah. All members of the cult are women. She was the one who sold you out to Jillian cos of your brain, and your mother was left with your twin” Everest replied, and Richie’s mouth opened, but he couldn’t talk, just gasping on repeat till he finally swallowed.
“Your dad had to be ki||ed cos he was also a smartie like you, he could cause problems for them.” Mrs. Kelsey said calmly, and Richie swallowed again.
“Jillian is part of the cult?”
“She’s the boss, Big Dogg” Mrs. Kelsey replied
“Including my own mother” Everest said.
“Mrs. Han?” Richie’s eyes widened.
Now this shock is much for just one day.
“Lady Genevieve too, though I assume she’s dead now” Mrs. Kelsey said, bringing out pictures of Lady Genevieve entering Kings Hotel some nights ago.
“She went in but never came out. They have their meetings in a secret room at the hotel, I guess” Mrs. Kelsey said.
Richie took his eyes away from the picture and breathed shakily efore talking.
“Then…you must know my mother and twin”
“Of course, and you’re closer to them than you’d ever imagine” Mrs. Kelsey said.
“Where are they?” He asked.
“Not now, Richie” Everest said, and Richie stood.
He started going for the door, but Everest quickly rushed to block him.
“Don’t act rash, Richie” he said.
“I’m gonna ki|| Jillian with my own hands, move” Richie muttered.
“Chill bro, you can’t ruin things” Everest replied
“They destroyed my life! They ruined everything good I possess! You think I have any calmness left in me? Move!!!” Richie cried out loudly, and Everest hugged him tightly, holding him still.
“Move, Everest… just move… please” he cried slowly.
“They’re dangerous than you think. Why do you think I and Mrs. Kelsey haven’t done anything since we found out? They’ve got good connections and Mrs. Kelsey even had to trail them for years before finding out their meeting location” Everest said calmly.
Richie continued sobbing, and Everest broke the hug to face him. Mrs. Kelsey joined them.
“Your mother and twin are well and alive, but it’s dangerous if you meet them cos Jillian has eyes on them. You have to keep calm and let’s finish this” she said.
“Why are you helping?” Richie asked, wiping his tears
“Your late dad was my classmate in highschool before he dropped out. Finn Kang” she replied with a big smile, and Richie sniffed.
“And about Lovelyn. Jillian knew about her being Kim Won’s daughter even before she was born, and that’s why she had her life key. Breaking up with you was what she was forced to do. It wasn’t her fault” Everest said, and Richie sniffed again.
“What’s the plan?” He asked.
“Agora women are obsessed with money. According to what we found out, their goal is to become the richest women in the world, they want to rule the world. My mum ki||s her concubines and disguises their deaths as heart failures, then she takes all their money, that’s her source of income. Jillian steals her husband’s money every month and keeps it in a secret safe somewhere in this country” Everest said.
“We have plans to find and crack the safe and take all of the money. She made 50 percent of if by using your girlfriend at the club, so it’s a clean deal” Mrs. Kelsey said.
“Then?” Richie replied.
“She’d run mad for sure, and that’s when we attack” Everest said.
Richie sighed and looked at both of them, getting assuring nods.
*
AN HOUR LATER*
Richie came out of the office and walked back to the pantry. His suit is off already, so he’s wearing only the black undershirt right now.
He dropped the suit on the table without any care, then he leaned on the table and closed his eyes, thinking about everything.
Turns out he’s not even in charge of his own life. He always needs leads and direction, and it’s driving him crazy.
When will all these be over? When will he ever achieve the right to navigate his own life?
He almost started crying again, but Valerie interrupted when she entered the pantry.
“Richie are you ok?” She rushed to hold his arm, but he took it from her immediately.
“I don’t really like touches” he said bluntly and walked out, not bothering to take his suit.
*
KIM MANSION*
Kim Won isn’t back from work, and Ruby has been in her room, crying out her eyes since she came back from the office earlier.
Apparently, Won is blind with the need to get Lovelyn’s forgiveness, and he won’t stop getting on her nerves anytime soon.
“Is it finally time to end his life?” She muttered, bitting on her own nails just like Ruby’s habit.
“I have trillions in my safe already. ki||ing him will bring me more money from his accounts and the company. My dream will come true faster” she whispered to herself.
She got her phone immediately, dialling Mrs. Han’s line.
“Boss!” Mrs. Han said from the other end.
“The injection you give to your concubines, I want one shot” Jillian replied.
“Kim Won is dying soon?” Mrs. Han asked.
“No questions, just send it over. Tsunami will come for it” Jillian replied, hanging up immediately.
“You’re 50 years old, Won. It’s finally time to say goodbye” she smiled diabolically.
*
MIRA’S PLACE*
Mira was already dying of loneliness on her bed when the doorbell rang downstairs.
She got down from the bed and went down the stairs.
Opening the door, she came face to face with Vista who’s holding a shopping bag with a big smile.
“Vista?” She said surprisingly.
“Hey. You said…you always cry when you’re alone at home, and you told me earlier that your mum is on a trip, and that…
She already hugged him before he could finish, and he smiled again, hugging her back.
“Thanks for coming Vista, it means a lot” she said, and he broke the hug to give her the shopping bag.
She opened the bag, and her eyes widened when she saw McCourtney chocolates and popcorn.
“Oh my gawd I love everything! Netflix and chill!” She gushed.
“Not bad” he smiled, and she grabbed his hand, both giggling as she pulled him upstairs.
*
A PARK*
Jeremy and Hwasa took a long look at the ferris wheel before turning to face each other, laughing loud afterwards.
“We’re seriously not riding that, are we?” She said funnily.
“Are you scared of heights?” He asked.
“No but…
“But what?” He smiled.
“Ok let’s go” she said.
“Are you sure? Cos if you scream when we get up, I’m gonna kiss you when the ride ends” he replied, and her eyes widened.
“Huh?”
“You heard me, Hwasa” he replied, pulling her to the wheel
They took their seats in the middle of numerous other partners, and Hwasa folded her fists tightly in fear.
“You’re scared” Jeremy said.
“No. No I’m not” she replied, and he nodded.
“Ready?” He said, and she nodded once.
Almost immediately, the wheel began moving, and she quickly grabbed him.
It started rolling, and her eyes widened.
“Mum!!!!!!!!!!!!” She screamed out, and Jeremy quickly placed his palm on her eyes, blocking it.
“It’s less scarier like this!” he said, and she calmed down slowly.
Jeremy smiled, watching her for some minutes before taking his hand away from her face.
“Thanks!” She shouted.
“My pleasure!” He shouted back.
“Now I’m enjoying this! Whoopi!!!” She screamed, and he laughed, her hair blowing on his face throughout the enjoyable ride
The ferris stopped moving at the end, making a straight sound.
“You screamed” he said, and she blinked at him.
“So….
“I’ll keep to my promise” he replied, bringing his face closer to hers
He watched her reaction for a while, and it didn’t take long before she closed her eyes tightly.
He smiled cutely before holding her face, capturing her lips gently.
*
HAN MANSION*
“So… how’s it going with Lovelyn?” Everest asked, entering Bernie’s room immediately he came back.
“What were you expecting?” Bernie replied from his swivel chair.
“She’s in love with Richie, and nothing is ever changing the fact?” Everest said, sitting on the bed.
“Are you making jest of me again?” Bernie replied.
“Were you expecting her heart in return when you did all you did for her?” Everest asked.
“I did all of that without thinking. I mean… anytime she’s in danger, I lose my sense of reasoning and the only thing that’d be in my mind will be how to get her out” Bernie replied.
“You’re truly in love. Yo! My little brother grew up a lot” Everest patted him.
“Don’t even start” Bernie replied dryly, and Everest hugged him immediately.
“You should let it all out” he said.
Bernie hugged him back, and he began crying.
“It hurts,I swear. It hurts like hell”
“I know” Everest replied, rubbing his hair.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Han is standing by the door, listening to everything.
She left the door and went to the stairs, standing restlessly.
Her plan was to ki|| her husband before, but now that her kids know about her involvement in the cult, it won’t be possible anymore, and the moment the cult finds out that her kids know, Jillian won’t hesitate to ki|| both of them.
“What should I do?” She muttered, and the doorbell rang downstairs.
She went for it and met Tsunami there.
No words were exchanged, she only gave her the injection and shut the door.
*
JANET’S PLACE*
Janet just finished cooking dinner, and she placed Mabel’s food on a tray. It’s a warm beef porridge.
She took the good into the room.
Mabel is sitting on the ground in, backing the wall _ looking sick and expressionless.
She has been like this since she escaped the hospital.
“You should eat, Mabel” Janet said, dropping the tray in front of her.
Mabel looked at the food like $h|t before pushing it away with her leg, then she spranged up, and shockingly she’s holding a knife.
“Mabel!”
“Why did you allow the exchange in the first place? I’d have accepted my fate if I grew up as a poor girl, but I grew up in riches and now I’m to live in poorness for the rest of my life? It’s all your fault!!!! It’s your fault!!!!!!” She screamed insanely, going after Janet with the knife.
Janet ran for her life while Mabel dashed after her.
“I’ll ki|| you! I’ll ki|| you!!!!!!!!”
*
JEGUK HOTEL*
Richie met the door of his room open when he arrived.
The only person with an extra key is Jacob, so he assumed he’s the one, but it was a different case when he got in.
He met Lovelyn cooking inside the small kitchen attached to the room, the aroma filling the air.
“Jacob gave me the keys, you should go shower, dinner will soon be ready” she said, and he turned back immediately, leaving the kitchen.
He was already walking out of the room when Lovelyn came after him.
“Where are you running to again?” She said.
“Why are you back?” He faced her.
“I was thr_@tened to leave you, I didn’t do it intentionally” she replied.
“That wasn’t your first time, Lovie. It was your third time of breaking my heart cruelly. I understand that you were under pressure from the clubhouse but would it cost you a dime to tell me everything? You enjoy breaking me than telling me your secrets and you’ve been doing it over and over, it’s…
“It was hard for me! I wanted to tell you but the moment you told me your view about strippers, I lost confidence cos I didn’t wanna lose you!” She replied.
“Do you know why i really h@?? strippers? Cos of my freakiness. The one time I visited a strip club in America, my s*x drive grew so much only by watching them dance. I had to run out of the club and my doctor advised me not to ever try it again cos my freakiness might graduate to nymphomania! Even if you were something worse that a stripper, I was ready to take you with all the imperfections cos I love you! But it’s obvious you were taking my feelings for granted” he replied hurtfully.
“I never took your feelings for granted, Richie. I swear I didn’t for once take your feelings for granted. I was just a coward and that implicated me. It’s all my fault and I admit it. The last time I broke up with you, there was a sniper rifle light on your chest and that’s why I said those hurtful things to make you stop coming closer. Richie I respect your feelings for me just the way you respect mine, I’m so sorry I hurt you” she said, shaking her head as she cried.
“Itaewon Night market, days ago I saw Bernie kissing you again, and I concluded that maybe you two are destined to be, and…
“No. No Richie he suggested something to calm me down and I wasn’t expecting it to be a kiss, I was… Richie please forgive me, I’m so sorry and I promise never to do anything to hurt you anymore. Don’t get mad at me for too long, I won’t be able to handle it” she said as she began walking to him.
“One more heartbreak, and i promise I’m gonna die” Richie whispered.
“No more heartbreak, no more secrets, Richie…ah!
The gasp ended her words as Richie pulled her into the bathroom, taking her under the shower.
He turned it on, and the water began wetting them as he hugged her small face in his soft palms.
“I missed you” he whispered.
“I missed you more” she replied, and he moved his face closer, full of insane affection just like hers.
They’re both dying to touch each other and ignite again.
“I love you, Lovie” he whispered again.
“I love you too, Richie” she whispered back, and she lost her breath when he crashed his lips hungrily on hers.
She quickly coiled her arms on his neck, holding onto him like her airbag as they kissed life out of each other so f-__-king hard, under the running shower.
