My Enemy, My Love

Chapter 11 - You've been searching for me?

Happy reading❤

What? Are they really suspecting me? Just because there's a gun in my hand? How the hell will they think I can do that!

People had begun to leave the party before it got any worse, but I dared not move till I made it clear to Kenzie.

Dylan and Callie were still here with their parents together with Kenzie's Mom. I spotted Shane and Mom at the far end looking flummoxed.

Kenzie's Mom was wailing near her husband's body. She was in a pool of blood trembling, solely traumatized. Kenzie was on her feet looking straight into my eyes with venom. Her eyes were all bloodshot from weeping and her palms were bloody from the touch of her lifeless father.

"How could you Nova? I trusted you, I trusted you as a friend, I trusted you as a sister! And this  is how you pay me back? Huh? What did I ever do to you?"

"What are you talking about Kenzie?"

"You still have the guts to question me on something you just did? Was I that injurious to you? You could've just told me rather than doing this to me!"

"No! You never were and never be injurious to me! What are you driving at-"

"Going to such an extent to bump off my Dad!?" I felt stabbed in the chest. No no no no this isn't happening.

"K-Kenzie, d-do y-you think I-I knocked off your Dad? For what?" I stammered.

"I must be asking you such a question! Why Nova, why!?" She broke into tears and so did I, "why did you do this to me?" She fell in her spot howling into her palms.

"Believe me Kenzie I never did such a thing and will ever!"

"Stop denying!" Kenzie's Mom rose up screaming. I flinched. "What shows you ain't the murderer when the proof lies right in your loof! I loved you as a daughter and you...and you-" she clenched her fist gritting her teeth and stirred her gaze at me.

"Adley please, the fact that she's with a revolver in her hand doesn't mean she-"

"No Naya! What are you implying? Which other person here is with a pistol! And didn't you see the direction from which the handgun was shot? Right from your daughter's view! And what are you indicating? That she's innocent? Is that what you're saying?"

My Mom kept mute. She knew the gunshot was from my standpoint but I knew she knew I could never do such homicide. Not even to one of my bestie's Dad!

I turned to the Dylan and Callie and they were down in dumps. I trended to Shane who was contemplating the ground. My gaze fell back to Kenzie. I needed her trust back!

"Kenzie. Do you really consider I liquidated your father? What will I gain? For what reason? I agree that there's a handgun in my hand but did you see me pulling the trigger to your Dad's chest? Hell no will I ever do such a thing! The gunshot was from my direction but-"

"But what? I can't accept the fact that you killed my Dad but rather hate you! You're nothing but a traitor! And I will surely revenge for what you've done! You know I never back off on my words! You'll surely pay for this and I promise you, you'll regret it! Now get out of my sight!"

The tears welled up in my eyes blinded me. I couldn't believe this is actually happening to me.

"I never whacked your Dad Kenzie-" I tried to smooth out but the pain and heat eradicating from my left cheeks as Kenzie's blow dealt with her opened flat palm colliding with the side of my face lingered me.

Rubbing the wang, I ogled her orbs in shock. She was apoplectic. "Don't you dare utter another word and get your freaking bloody goddamn ass outta here! Till I'm done with you, disappear! Just go to hell motherfucker!"

She wasn't ready to hear me out. I wasn't ready to lose a friend either, but I had no other option than to leave her alone, maybe I could convince her some other time.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and peeped at Van Miller for the last time. It hurt to see him in that state. I allowed the tears to flow. Without a second thought I ran out of the mansion.

My vision was blurred but I kept on moving, not making an attempt to turn back. I ran till I could ran no more. I descented on my feet and bawled.

I had lost a friend's trust. I had lost a friend's Dad, who was like a father to me. And here I am being reproached. What's all these? Who the heck could do this?

I weeped my heart out even though I had told myself to hold back tears each time. I don't know for how long I had been in that position but I sensed the presence of someone.

I eventually lifted my head to face an irked Blake. My make-up had wiped away from my face, I was fucked up. I might be looking like a mad woman. My hair was sticking all over my face and I felt weak. I might have been in that position for hours. I peeked at him waiting for why he's here with me.

"Get in the car." He growled. I could scent the deracinated enrage from him. Why was he here in the first place? How did he encounter me? It hit to my realization of my surrounding. Where was I? I began to shiver taking a glimpse of my periphery.

"Didn't you hear me? Get in the car!" I sadly nodded and stood on my assailable feet. I gimped towards his car and got seated. I wiped the tears from my face and gazed at the window. Blake after gritting  his teeth opened his door and sat down. We sped off.

"Why did you come for me?" I quizzed him at last. I knew he had heard me but had decided not to answer.

"Why did you-"

"I'm a human being okay? Could you have found your way back home? Where the hell did you think you were going? I just decided to come pick you up and send you home, after a wild search for you." He irritatedly spoke.

"You've been searching for me? I thought uh we, no, our fathers' are adversaries." He ignored me and kept on driving.

"So...do you also think I slayed Van Miller?" He rolled his eyes and glanced at me. I knew he didn't, but the relationship between our fathers' won't allow him to accept.

"Why not. Since you now know you're a Mafia leader's daughter, you're capable." I furrowed my eyebrows at him, "like seriously?" I turned to stare through the window again. Its useless elaborating everything to him. He won't believe me though.

The car came to halt and as quickly as I could, I got down shutting the door. I barely said a 'thank you' when he trailed away.

Realizing I left my purse in his car, I huffed and headed for the door. Mom and Shane were not back home, neither was Dad.

I trekked to my room. Dumping myself on the bed, I fought back the tears welled up in my eyes. My phone wasn't here with me to inform Shane and Mom I'm home.

I changed my outfit and took a long shower. I wore my pajamas and jumped into bed. Sleep is what I needed now. I shut my eyes and the screeching sound of my mother's car caused it to open. Mom and Shane were home.
