Hidden [COMPLETED]

Chapter 46

She can still feel the weight of the gun in her hand, the force of the recoil after numb fingers pulled the trigger.

Her ears still ringing with the noise from the gunshot. The smell of gun powder still clinging to her.

She slips down the floor, leaning on the door, burning tears falling freely down her cheeks. Tears of hurt and so much rage she isn't sure what to do with it. 

Freen watched the woman she loved falling apart, still stunned, speechless and frozen in place after what she had witnessed.

"I'm so sorry", Becky sobs, her eyes are glassy, glimmering with tears.

"Baby? Come here, please.." Freen pleaded, all she wanted was to wrap the woman in her arms. Freen shakes her head. Her hands are tied and it's frustrating.

Becky stood up walking towards Freen, She then cups Freen's face "Are you alright, Freen? Are you hurt?" Becky asks in concern.

"I'm fine baby." Freen lets out almost in tears.

Freen finally pulls Becky into a kiss. "It's over now." She whispered.

Becky takes in the kiss desperately. Freen doesn't want to let go. How she wishes she has free hands to hold on and not let go of Becky now.

As Becky reluctantly pulls away from the kiss, she tells Freen. "I love you...I just wanna say that before anything happens to us."  

"Nothing is going to happen." Freen whispers as Becky unties her hands.

"What were you thinking, Bec?! Running away like that? That was fuckin dangerous!" Freen exclaims.

"What were you thinking following me?" Becky shoots back.

"You could've hurt yourself and the baby!" Becky goes on.

"We are fine." Freen consoles. She looks at the man lying on the floor. "Why did you shoot him, Becky?"

"You think I would let him hurt you? I would die for you before that happens."

"I would die for you too." Freen admits to the woman next to her.

Becky responds with an appreciative smile as she cups Freen's face and kisses her.

"We have to call someone, he's going to bleed to death otherwise." Freen says pulling away.

Just then Richie storms inside, "You guys alright?" He asks looking between Freen and Becky. He then notices the gun in becky's hand and Sunny on the floor bleeding.

Heng and Nam soon joins them. 

"Here." Becky hands Heng a recorder, "He admitted to killing Saint and our father." Richie's eyes immediately snaps to meet becky, his eyes burning with fury, "I hope he goes away for good this time."

Heng nods and goes over to Sunny, "He needs a hospital, I think he will make it." Heng says but looks at the gun in Becky's hand warily.

No matter what, Becky had shot a man and that is something she will not get away with, no matter the circumstances. Becky knows that. 

Becky nods understandingly as Heng makes the call. She turns to kneel down next to Freen, "I know I told you I wanted us to be together in this...that we will marry and live happily ever after but I have to own up to what I did," 

"No...No" Freen desperately pleads.

"You were a happy woman. Just like Saint. I could have made him not return to my house. I could have stopped him falling in love, but I didn't. And now, I have learned some things. Not doing anything is still doing something."

Freen shook her head, "You are not to blame for any of this. We all have our own choices. Saint made his. Sunny made the choice to come in here with a gun to threaten you. In the end, all of us have to own up to our choices. It's not your fault. None of this is." Freen's cups Becky's face, her eyes pleading, "We forgave each other for everything that happened long ago, don't make him change it. Change us."

"Give me the gun, Becky" Richie asks extending his hands.

"What are you doing?" Becky asks in confusion.

"Give it to me." He says as he takes the gun from her. "I'm not about to let my sister throw her life away because of someone like him. If I knew he was the reason for father dying, I would have killed him myself."

"Richie.."

"Don't worry. There is no court in this country that will punish me for this. I'm not well in the head right? Maybe for once my illness is a blessing." He chuckles dryly.

"But.."

"Go! Leave before the police gets here." He gives her a tender smile, "I will be fine."
