<h4>Chapter 134: Chapter ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR: Gave Me Chills</h4>


    Christy’s POV


    Pah!


    I pped him out of reflex and pushed him away angrily. He looked hurt by the way I reacted but I didn’t care about his feelings at the moment.


    "I trusted and took you as my friend, I fucking defended you when Kendrick said you had feelings for me but here you are... Making me a big fool!" I yelled at him and angrily unbuckled my seat belt.


    "Christy, please calm down... I know that I overstepped my boundaries and I am sorry" he quickly apologized when he saw how angry I was.


    I didn’t give him a listening ear as I opened the door, got down and mmed it shut.


    The apartment was just a few minutes away, so I decided to walk the remaining distance and use the opportunity to clear my head.


    I wiped my lips angrily and I felt extremely irritated when I remembered what just happened.


    I even quarreled with Kendrick, not knowing he was right all along and now I felt guilty.


    I looked behind and couldn’t see the car anymore, he probably drove off to give me space which I think is the wisest decision he had made so far.


    "Hi sister inw, " As soon as I opened the gate of the building where my apartment is located, I was pulled out of my thoughts by a slightly unfamiliar voice.


    I looked up to see Zain, Kendrick’s younger brother, smiling at me.


    I found it odd that he was here at this time but I didn’t reveal any emotions as I stared at him calmly.


    "Hi, I am Zain..."


    "I know who you are" I interrupted him coldly, his overly friendly attitude was making my skin crawl and I just couldn’t exin the feeling.


    This was the exact feeling I had when he stared at me at the funeral.


    "Why are you here?" I asked calmly while observing his every movement and expression.


    "I told big brother about enrolling in the academy and he agreed. So I am looking around for a good apartment to stay in, " he replied with a smile.


    "There are so many buildings around here but you chose the one that I live in?" I asked him with a frown.


    "I just want to take this opportunity to get to know you. I don’t see your bodyguard anywhere... Is he off today?" he asked, his voice made me immediately tense and I took a few steps back from him.


    "You look scared... Don’t be, we will be a family soon, it’s best we get to know each other" he said and his lips curled into a bloodthirsty grin.


    It felt like I was being stared at by a venomous snake. I decided to run into the building and get the security to send him away.


    "Security, sec...." I stared in horror at the security counter. The usually friendly security guard was now lying in a pool of blood, his chest was filled with several stab wounds.


    "Oh no... Mira!" I rushed frantically up the stairs, when I pushed open the door to our apartment, I found Mira and Jasper unconscious on the floor.


    They weren’t bleeding and didn’t seem injured, just unconscious.


    "I gave them a little knock out dose... Someone needs to inform my brother" Zain’s voice came from behind me and I turned around to see him standing at the doorway with a dagger in his hand.


    I tried to rush into the bathroom but he was too fast, he grabbed me before I could even get close and ced the dagger on my neck.


    "What do you want?" I asked with a trembling voice.


    He held me closer to himself and I couldn’t struggle as a little movement can cost me my life.


    He was quite strong for someone that had just recovered, which made me doubt that he was ever sick.


    "I have her... Come pick me up" he said through his earpiece.


    "Kendrick will never let you go," I said through gritted teeth.


    "From the moment I was born, it was already determined to be this way. The ck family can only be inherited by the strongest. I know I am not strong enough topete with my brother, so I made a deal with the devil" he said with a creepy smile.


    By the time he pushed me out of the building, it was already dark. He threw my phone in the dustbin and also took off my bracelet, which contains a tracker.


    I was shocked that he knew about my bracelet and immediately figured out that we had a mole.


    I saw a white minivan as soon as we stepped out of the gate and there was a mean looking guy beside the van. He was dressed in ck from head to toe and had a vicious scar on his jaw.


    BANG!


    BANG!


    "Shit!" The sudden gunshots startled Zain and he almost stabbed me with the dagger.


    My life shed before my eyes at that moment, I thought I was going to die.


    "Stay back if you want her alive... I wouldn’t hesitate to cut her throat" Zain warned as he used me as a shield to get closer to the van.


    I slowly looked in the direction of the gunshots and saw Dexter with some other men that Mason and Kendrick had ced around me for protection.


    "I am sorry" he mumbled helplessly and I could see the guilt in his eyes.


    Things might have turned out differently if he hade to the apartment with me but there was nothing we could do now... No one can turn the hands of time.


    Zain pushed me into the van and swiftly got in, while the mean looking guy fired shots at Dexter and the others.


    The guy had no ns of running and kept firing till he took hisst breath.


    I stared at Zain in horror, wondering what he must have done to make the man willingly surrender his life.


    "It’s good to see you again, Christy" A very familiar voice came from the opposite seat and I froze.


    I hadn’t looked at the person as I was watching what was happening outside.


    I turned swiftly to face him and he smiled at me.


    "Curtis?" I asked with my eyes wide open in shock.


    "The one and only" he replied with a smile.


    "Then, who is..." I was about to ask who was in prison when it finally clicked.


    "You are not the one that got arrested" I said with a tone of certainty.


    "You are so smart, that’s why I love you so much" he said with a gentle voice that gave me chills.
