My Virtual Boyfriend

CHAPTER 29

Drake's POV

I was on my way home when I heard my stomach grumble. It was so unusual for me to have an empty stomach. I just forgot I haven't eaten a lot for a while.

I stopped my car when I saw  7/11 nearby. I was searching for some snacks to grab when my eyes landed on a box of band aids.

Remembering what happened earlier on Aedelle's flats made me so happy and a little bothered.

I wonder who are those people threathening their family. It really made me so worried becuase I treat them as my family now although I'm not even Aedelle's boyfriend yet.

Boyfriend.

A simple two-syllabled word which could make me the happiest guy if achieved. But I never thought pursuing a girl could be this hard but yet, worth it.

And the kiss we shared in her room witnessed by the four walls. That exciting ten seconds of my life which made me want to extend it.

Aedelle is important to me and she's the only girl in my life. I couldn't afford losing her or leaving her or worst harming her. I'll do everything I can to protect Aedelle.

I grabbed three tuna sandwiches and decided to eat inside the store.

While savouring the food that I'm eating, my phone vibrated on my pocket.

I checked the message and it was from an unknown number but with special digits. Usually used by hackers, raketeers and drug dealers---- and also assassins.

Fr: +8362 9990 4311
How many warnings do we have to drop in order for you to leave that girl?

Special digits like this one are hard to track. Our technicians are still on the process of improving our technology even more. And I'm not inside the Yu Heiress base-- I cannot do the tracking using my smartphone.

I immediately replied ignoring the fact that it would eat up load balance and would charge a lot on my line.

To: +8362 9990 4311
You can't make me leave her. Do your thing and I'll do mine too. Show yourself.

And my phone beeped again.

Fr: +8362 9990 4311
How exactly are you going to protect that girl when most of the time she's alone? Are you going to risk her life? We know she's just your rebound Yu Heiress.

Bullshit! Just exactly who I thought they are! REDS.

Fr: +8362 9990 4311
It seemed as though our little assassin reaper is taken aback. Don't worry we won't tell her-- YET. And oh, we left a note on your car. Finish your food before checking it out. And another warning: get rid of her or we do the task the dirty way.:) RDKVN.

The moment I finished reading the text, the lights of my car which is parked outside started blinking. I immediately exited the store and spotted a note on the windshield. I immediately grabbed it but heard a small beeping.

I know exactly what that beeping sound is and it is coming from inside my car.

"shit" was all I uttered before running off but after few big steps, the beeping stopped so I have no choice but to duck.

I watched how my car exploded into pieces and my ears still ringing because of the explosion. It's a good thing it was parked few meters away from the store and no one except me was around. Typical doings of assassins who wanted no one involved. Just showing off.

"Bullshit" I cussed breathlessly as flying pieces of my car almost hit me.

I didn't mind looking back at my car, the police would clean it and for all I know the REDS already cut off nearby CCTV Cameras and made sure that the bomb wont leave any clues on the ownership of the car. It was plain ash now.

I looked back at the 7/11 store because the cashier who works on night shift could witnessed what happened. But as I look inside, he is already limp on the counter---maybe they made him fall asleep. They wont kill uninvolved individuals anyway.

Fr: +8362 9990 4311
Do you like our little surprise?

To: +8362 9990 4311
No time to joke around REDS.

Fr: +8362 9990 4311
Are you threatened now that we entered your WELL-SECURED car unnoticed? Well maybe you should start wondering if we could also enter your girl's well-secured flats.;)

And that is when fear started to creep up to my chest making my fingers tremble while typing my reply. There's no doubt they can also enter Aedelle's flat.

To: +8362 9990 4311
Dont you dare.

Fr: +8362 9990 4311
Dare us. :)

The REDS are seriously trying to get into me but I wont let them have the satisfaction. I immediately run to the nearest TAXI STOP and made my way to Aedelle's flats.

Fr: +8362 9990 4311
Going to visit baby girl?

I immediately turned off my phone because it was very disturbing how they could monitor my moves. This people really improved their technology.

As soon as I reached Aedelle's flats, everyone is up and the whole place is chaotic.

I asked the guard about what happened and his response brought shiver down my spine.

"A person was reported captured and he was named Aedon Kysler McKenshin."

I immediately run to Aedelle's flats and entered the code she gave me. I found her sitting on her bed, eyes full of tears.

Her eyes found mine and she cried even harder.

"Aedelle." I was about to comfort her and tell her that everything's gonna be fine when the look in her eyes made me stop.

It was full of hatred, regrets and anger.

"This was all your fault Drake!"
