FORTUNE: A FREENBECKY STORY

Chapter 69 📰

"Freen, I love you." Becky said with a tear trickling down her cheek.
Freen smiled and wiped her tear then caressed her cheek.
"I know."

"No, I mean I truly and deeply am in love with you. How could you possibly know that? After everything I've done." Becky asked
Freen smiled

"In the morning when I wake up, I know that your love is there for me. At the break of each new day, I know your love is renewed to me.
You are my love and my heart, it's because of you that I could live and breathe for the last few weeks. All the energy and strength that I had came from you. Your love was never far away from me, look, it's right here on my lip." Freen said
Becky looked down at Freen's lips as Freen pulled her into a tender kiss.

"Freen..." Becky said
"What is it?" Freen said
"I'm confused. I thought you were protecting yourself from me." Becky said
Freen laughed then smiled
"I was. But no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't really do that could I? When Heng was kidnapped you were the one I needed. When he was found you were the one I wanted. When I'm in pain I want you to be the one to comfort me. After the funeral I just accepted the truth about us. Life is too short. You are my soulmate Becky. There's no denying that. Beyond our connection and love for each other doesn't it just feel like fate or fortune keeps pulling us back together?" Freen said

Becky caressed Freen's cheek.
"I love You so much." Becky said
"I love You too." Freen said
"How much do you love me?" Becky said
"Should I show You?" Freen says excitedly
Freen and Becky exited the venue and jumped into Freen's car.

General Wo carried a metal chair into a dark and dingy room with Billy following behind him. He props the chair up in-front of an unconscious Butcher and wakes him up. Butcher now realising he's handcuffed and gagged tries to forcibly break himself out of the cuffs to no avail.

General Wo slaps Butcher.
"Sit still." He says
Butcher looks up at the general sitting backwards in the seat.
"Intel states that you're Khun Sa's right hand. Is that true?" General Wo asks
Butcher murmurs, his mouth still stuffed with a towel.
"Oh sorry" General Wo says removing the gag from inside his mouth.

Butcher spit on the floor beside him.
"Answer the question." Wo said
But Butcher remained silent.
Billy was now enraged by his flippant answers, he approached Butcher.
Billy opened a gas pipe and brought out a match.
"Your boss seems to have a thinly veiled hatred toward the royal family. Why? What's his plan?" Billy asked

Butcher laughed, "it's not personal"
Billy threw the match towards the pipe lighting a controlled fire right behind butchers head.
Butcher continued to laugh.
"Answer me!" Billy screamed

"Everything Khun Sa has done up until this point has been for the royal family but now all of a sudden we're the enemy? Isn't it funny how men determine criminality. It's not based on actions but on heritage. Right Non?" Butcher Said

Non walked into the room. He took the seat General Wo had previously been sitting on.
"I've recently learned about your connection to our family." Non Said
"Likely story. That's what your brother also said the day we met him 10 years ago." Butcher said
"Ten?!" Non said

Butcher began to laugh maniacally.
"What do you have planned?" Non said
"You'll find out soon enough." Butcher said
Non stop up and exited the room. General Wo and Billy followed him out to the other side of the glass.

"Lock him up. Throw away the key." Non said
"I've got just the place for him." General Wo said
"What do we do about Sa?" Billy asked
"There's not much we can do. He's a political candidate. We wait." Non said
