  BREAKING NEWS!

Two people are dead on the spot after the shooting in *******  this five in the afternoon. The authorities are still trying to determine their identities.

Meanwhile, Famous movie director Vincent Wong was injured in the said encounter. The authorities are still investigating what Wong had to do with the shooting.

"Vincent Wong... That Bastard!" I gasped aloud when Chen cursed using his low raspy voice. I look up to him as I sit on the floor with him on the sofa.

I can sense the rage consumed him after hearing the evening news. I glanced back at the television where the news was shifted about some accident on the road. I open my mouth to ask but close immediately.

What happened?

I know, I don't like the vibe Director Wong is giving but shooting? Isn't this too much? Can he really afford to let someone die? What is he doing with his life?

Before I could open my mouth to ask, Chen's phone rang from the center table where he placed it backwards.

He immediately reached for his phone and stand from where he was sitted, walking to the balcony and answered the phone.

A brow automatically arched, What the hell?

When I was about to walk towards the balcony, my phone started ringing. I reached for my phone on the center table, the caller's ID says it's P'phoom my other brow arched more. I slide the green button. "Hello?"

There was some background noises before he spoke grimly. "Nine? I called Joong multiple times but his not answering. Are you with Joong?"

I creased my forehead. What is happening? "Yes..."

"Can you put him on the phone?" He asked.

I tilted my head towards the balcony. His still on the phone with his right hand on the phone and the other on his waist. Looking so dangerous. "Right now?"

"Yes.. It's urgent." P'phoom said with a heavy sigh.

I bit my lower lip trying to decide whether to interrupt Chen or decline P'phoom. I let out a heavy sigh, "But his currently on the phone with I don't know who called. Why? Is it really urgent?"

The other line went silent for seconds, "Nevermind. I'll call you later, tell him I called. Alright?"

"I understand." I ended the call and stared at the silhouette of Joong on the balcony. I think it will take awhile based on how creased his forehead is.

I diverted my gaze when I realized I was staring too much. I look at my phone with a big question mark on my head. What is happening?

As soon as the news of Director Wong surfaced Chen immediately went mad, then P'phoom called. I don't want to jump into conclusions but the circumstances are making me assume. Why's Chen so adamant against Director Wong? What's their connection?

"Nine?" I snap back to reality when a familiar low raspy voice called my name. I tilted my head to look at his direction, his eyes is hesitant.

Quivering for some unknown reason.

I arched my other brow, "Why?"

Chen clicked his tongue and massage his nape before coming closer to me. He squatted on the ground holding both of my hands. Gone the quivering eyes, all I could see is the strong determination written on his face. "Do you trust me?"

He seemed to be in a difficult situation, "Note that, everything I do is for your own good. Alright?"

I put my lips together, trying to compose a sentence. I don't know what's going on. But I do have a trust on him.

However, does the trust enough?

I snake my arms to his nape and embrace him tightly. "I love you." I whispered.

There are things that needs to be remembered. But, there are also some things that you need to forget to heal the wounds. Furthermore, you can lean on and trust in your love.

Yes, Trust and Love is enough.
