Collin's POV
"Sir, I believe from what I have just saw, Charlie is working for someone else who doesn't seem impressed with what he does.", Lucius reported as I anticipated to know what the hell was going on with Charlie.
"Okay, go on.", I said, letting him continue his duty of spying and reporting. Wow, wow, wow. "Charlie was ordered to carry out a plan to get rid of his fiancée.", I listened. "Master, she is going to be in danger."
Brooke? In danger? Why would Charlie simply proceed such a plan? I could not believe what I was reported on. Just as I was about to give an instruction, my heart stopped when I heard someone saying, "Same goes to you." and an immediate bang.
"Lucius?", I said. "Lucius, what's happening?!", I proceeded to exclaimed. He did not respond, all I could hear was the air of stillness. I began to feel worried, Brooke being in danger without a knowledge of what her fiancé was doing and how bold Charlie was. Funnily, how my heart softened for my former partner's fiancée.
"Stay there Lucius!", I exclaimed. "I'm coming."
------
I sat still outside the surgery operation room with my heart feeling as guilty as ever. I wished I could undo what I requested to Lucius. He was my best man in service, being loyal and kind towards me despite annoying him.
"How's Mr. Owen?", Brooke joined me in waiting for further news on Lucius. I told her he was going to make it, even if God doesn't want to try, I just had to keep praying.
"How did he even got himself exposed?", I questioned. I took out what Lucius gave to me when I arrived at the spot. It was a handwritten note, a message to me saying:
"Hi Collin, my friend,
I find it rather amusing you trusted your loyal man to do your dirty work. Man, I can't wait to watch you burst into tears like a cry baby when I take away what you really loved.
Have a splendid night while you wait for your best man to wake. :D
Yours Truly,
Your friendly man"
Your friendly man? Was he some kind of sicko? I may be considered one since I had tend to torture people in front of people as entertainment including Brooke who was a total mistake I made. Yet, unlike myself, this fellow still had the guts to wrote such message, wishing me a "splendid night" and waiting for me to cry like a fucking baby.
"This fellow knew who I was, Brooke.", I said that, being determined of what I knew about the person. "He knew who I was, as in my people and private life."
"Whoever this man is, don't let this note affect you.", Brooke said as she took my hands in comfort. "He wants to see you fail. Cry baby? Be a Lannister as you can be."
"Why are you being so nice to me, Brooke?"
"I tortured you remembered? Watching someone dying so gruesomely and you just could not believe what you saw."
Brooke hesitated as she carefully planned her answer by the look of her face. "Whatever you do is already in the past. I've recovered. I met you again and we talked.", she said. "Your actions proved otherwise and I understood what you were trying to do. You are definitely not a black sheep and so does Mr. Owen."
I was touched by Brooke's gracefulness and her answer. Despite what I did, she totally did not take it heart for a long period. Never in my life have I met someone like her, she went by her judgement and trusted me as she trusted her fiancé.
Soon, I found myself tearing up as I hugged Brooke in a comforting manner. "Thank you for giving me another chance.", I said. "Charlie is sure a lucky bloke." Brooke smiled as we continued hugging and praying for Lucius' condition.
------
A second honour for Collin who got his own point of view. If I were him, I would also be saddened by the thought of my own man being in danger. Let's pray for Lucius Owen, shall we?
The next chapter will be back to the point of view from Brooke. Stay tuned!
