COLLATERAL CORA

56

Cora

I feel terrible.

I hate this.

Him being like this is killing me.

His gun is still positioned at me.

He is looking at me with so much anger. It is making my heart bleed.

Tears rolled down my eyes as I look at him.

Memories of how he would point his gun at me back then came to my mind.

I didn't think it will happen again.

But here I am.

"East calm down" Seth said to him.

East doesn't move, his gun is still at me.

Seth leaned towards his ear and said something I didn't hear to him as Iris held my arm.

East walked away angrily.

"East!" Seth called after him but he didn't respond.

Tears rolled out the more as I watch him walking away.

Iris wrapped me in a hug.

I let it all out.

"Shhhh" Iris cooed, caressing my hair.

"He hates me' I cried.

She shakes her head no. "No he doesn't"

"He doesn't want to speak to me"

"He is angry yes but he doesn't hate you. He came here for you" She said.

"But why is he like that?"

She heaved a sigh. "He needs time. Just let him calm down"

I sniffled.

"Let him calm down okay?"

I nod.

"Give him time"

My heart ache so deep. I want to be wrapped in his arms so bad. I want him to kiss my tears away.

I want to remain in his hold forever.

I hate this.

I hate myself.

"What are we going to do with the men?" I heard Diego ask.

I look his direction.

"Kill them all. That's the boss' order" Seth said.

Kill?

No no

"What's wrong?" Iris asked.

"Julia and Sunny are my friends "

She arched her brows. "Who is Julia and Sunny?"
