Runaway Groom (Groom Series Book 1) (English Translation)

Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Furious

Upon reaching Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, I immediately noticed the huge amount of people around. How will I see him? This place is one of the most visited place in the region. So even if daylight is almost over, there are still a lot of people around.

I scanned the place hoping that I would see him.

And there he was, at the main door of the church. He was wearing a black hoodie, faded jeans and brown combat boots, and a pair of sunglasses.

Aron is handsome. We are almost the same height and same body built. But his skin is fairer than me and his blonde hair is shining because of the sun's rays.

My heart started racing. I felt scared of what he might say or do to me.

I must admit that the idea of meeting him is making me nervous. What if he has a gun with him? Or what if he has a knife he can use to stab me?

But at least this is a public place so there will be witnesses if ever he plans to do something harmful.

I have basic knowledge about taekwondo. I once did a commercial about the leading taekwondo outfit here in Spain and I needed to go training for it. I guess my work is helpful to me not only in terms of money.

He walked towards my position when he saw me. He stopped midway, at least five meters away from me. He removed his sunglasses and gave me a smirk.

"We finally meet again," he spoke.

Some people glanced towards his direction because he spoke English but they immediately went on with what they were doing.

"What do you really want, Aron?" my voice was challenging.

The evil smirk did not leave his face. I did not dare show him that I was feeling nervous and tried to calm myself.

"Everything in my life was perfect, Gulf. But you really had to ruin everything. Mew left me because of you!" He spat.

It made me scoff.

"Ha! Are you kidding me? None of it was my fault. It was not my fault that you are not worthy of being loved!" I fired back.

He was taken aback with what I said which made me smile.

His eyebrows furrowed, a sign that he's starting to get angry. But he tried to erase it off and gave me a grin.

"You really think that Mew loves you? You really think that in the three years that you were not with him, he did not have a relationship with someone else? You have no idea, Gulf." And then he laughed like a crazy person.

It was my turn to be affected with what he said. His words were like knives that pierced my heart. They were painful.

But so what? I even had a relationship with Hughie. I guess it was fair?

I composed myself before speaking again.

"I don't care. The important thing here is that Mew and I are together again. And we will not let anyone ruin our relationship. Not even you!"

He stopped laughing. Everything I just said made him clench his fists.

"Are you sure about that?" he said in gritted teeth as he slid his right hand inside the pocket of his hoodie.

It was too late when I realized that he pulled out a gun. He immediately pointed it towards me.

My body stiffened and my mouth started to dry out.

The people noticed his gun. Seconds later, the place was now in chaos with people screaming and running away from us.

While I remained there standing. It was as if I became a statue with my feet glued to the floor. I couldn't move. Not with his gun pointed at me. My body started to feel cold.
