HOW YOU LIKE THAT | JENLISA

Chapter 100

Jennie

I blinked my eyes, while trying to adjust my vision in the dark.

I was wide awake by now, and Nichkhun stood there, hovering over us, while aiming the gun at Lisa and I.

"Stop harbouring any illusions that I won't shoot because I will."

"Why are you doing this?!" I asked.

Before I could comprehend what was happening, he grabbed my arm and forced me out of bed, while pulling me taut against him. I yelped and flailed, but he had a chokehold on me, with the gun now digging into my jaw.

You couldn't tell what Lisa was thinking. Her face was blank. She looked resigned and tired. Calmly, she said, "Put the gun down, Nichkhun, and let her go."

"What was it you said before that accident, Lisa? Oh right, I remember. You said that you would ruin me! Me! Nichkhun Manoban! You piece of shit! How does this feel!? Now I will ruin you instead!"

"Don't be stupid, Nichkhun." Lisa said in a dangerously low voice, "If you put the gun down, I promise that we can forget this whole twisted revenge. I'll leave town if you want. You can have all of this. Just... let Jennie go."

"Fuck you!" Nichkhun spat at her, and chuckled, "She's coming with me."

He pushed me towards the door by force, almost making me trip against the carpeted floor. My heart jack-hammered against my chest. This is it then... this is how it's finally going to end...

He jabbed the gun against my neck. "Don't try to act smart, Jen, or I'll shoot and your brains will paint these walls and I really don't want to do that. These wallpapers are fucking expensive."

"I'm walking! Stop hitting me!" I yelled at him.

A silhouette was visible on the upper level of the floor. I looked up long enough to catch a glimpse of Sorn.

"Nichkhun! Stop!" she screamed from above. "Let her go! I've talked to..."

"Sorn, stay there! Do not come down or I swear I will kill her right this very second!"

She was kneeling against the banister on the floor, while staring at us with her haunted green eyes. I couldn't see anything at all because we were going down the stairs. "Nichkhun, please..." she said helplessly.

Lucas had materialised on the floor wearing his bear printed pyjamas. He saw his brother pointing the gun at me. Fear was clear on his face. "Where are you taking Jen?" he asked in a soft voice.

"Go to bed, Lucas!" Nichkhun shouted at him.

"Don't take her..." his voice wavered.

Was Lucas going to cry? I never thought that the brat would ever cry for me.

Lisa was right behind me, following Nichkhun as he dragged me out of the mansion like I was some stray cat. I remembered everything that led up to this moment. Running away from my uncle's home, taking up the caregiver job, and marrying Lisa. Tears clouded my vision as I realised that it all was for nothing.

All that planning and Lisa regaining her memories had led to Nichkhun finally losing it.

Nichkhun would pull me outside, shoot me first, and then Lisa. Or he would shoot Lisa first and then me. I didn't want to live if Lisa does not survive this. It made no sense to go on living without her.

There was no Jen without Lisa.

Nichkhun brought his mouth close to my ear, with his breath fanning my cheek, "If you hadn't been so taken to her, maybe I would have let you live, but I have seen it. Your fascination for Lisa the very moment when you met her. You were not supposed to fall in love with her, you were supposed to notice me!"

"I'm sorry, but why am I being held responsible for this? You got me married to her forcefully, didn't you? Do I have to remind you of that!?"

"That was part of the plan!" he seethed. "But if you hadn't fallen for her, it would have been me by your side. Me with you! Not her!"

"So you're just going to kill me as revenge for loving Lisa?"

"Shut up and keep walking, Jen!"
