Smiling Astreille answered the call when she saw Jezreel's name on the screen.
"Jezreel!" She excitedly uttered her bestfriend's name.
The girl turned around before exiting Lord's penthouse. There were no nearby houses around, just trees so he wanted to breathe fresh air.
"Astreille! How are you?" He heard the excitement in the friend's voice.
"It's okay! You, I'm upset with you. You didn't even invite me to your wedding," she uttered while roaming her eyes around the beautiful view.
"I'm sorry, because we had a private wedding. You know my husband's family doesn't want me. But you don't have to worry right now! We're married, his family can't do anything anymore," Jezreel said with a mischievous laugh.
The girl laughed at what the friend said. "That's good. I'm so happy for both of you. I know you love your husband so much so I'm happy that you're happy now," she uttered.
"Thank you, Astreille. I miss you so much but I can't go home yet. How are you and your boyfriend who is so mad at you?" Astreille can't help but to laugh with that.
"You're really crazy!" She chuckled. "Xord is still asleep. It's 5 o'clock in the morning here in the Philippines. I just woke him up earlier today. We're okay. We're here in his penthouse now, I don't know where it is in the Philippines, but we're fine, "she added.
"I'm really stuck there with your shot, Astreille. Are you kidnapped? Maybe later I'll just hear that you're married because of his mania," Jezreel said.
"You know what happened? How did you find out?" the girl asked in surprise.
"Your older brother told me he's good. I can't call you one time, so I called your older brother. According to him, I carved and carved until I told the story. I was even stressed because he didn't want to tell me," he explained. friend.
Astreille sighed. "I feel sorry for what I did, Jezreel. I'm so stupid for breaking up with him even though my dad has to pay for everything. Xord doesn't deserve an immature person like me."
"You were also hurt so you did that. You were just scared, so don't blame yourself. What are you? Xord will forgive you no matter what other sins you commit, I love you so much. Even if I stab you. you, maybe kiss him and thank you. " Astreille flashed a sweet smile with what she heard.
"Crazy! Why would I stab Xord when I love him so much? I will never do that!" she defended herself.
"Just a joke. I know you can't hurt people. You might even cry when you get stabbed."
Astreille bit her lower lip, she felt guilty. Jezreel doesn't know that she's now capable of killing a person. Not only can he stab, he even kills.
The confidence that she gained is because of Xord. It's true what her boyfriend said, she can't just stare because she will be aggravated if she just keeps quiet next to him.
If you can't make someone shut their mouth, kill them instead. Words, insults and verbal abuse can kill someone and you need to fight back by killing that person literally.
"Oh, my wife is here. Hey! Astreille's on the phone," Jezreel said on the other line.
A few seconds passed until a voice answered Astreille.
"Hi."
The girl smiled. It's Jezreel's wife. "Hello! How are you?"
"We're okay, we're actually planning to adopt a baby," he replied.
"Wow, that's nice. Make me a mother!" Astreille said.
"Sure! I'm happy that you volunteered. I'm sure the baby will like you just in case! I'm so excited!"
"I'm happy for you two. So I also want you to adopt, I'm sure you guys will be great parents."
"Thank you, Astreille. By the way, I'll return the phone to Jezreel," the friend's wife said modestly.
"Okay. Take care!"
"Hello, girl," Jezreel uttered.
Astreille laughed at the call. "Why?"
"Ephraim told me everything that's going on because I'm teasing him. Your pretending father is also very bad," he said with a shudder.
"I know, I can't believe that he's capable of doing some things like these. All my life, I treated him like an angel. But his attitude is the opposite," Astreille uttered in anger.
"I witnessed how you love him truly. Maybe you need to let go of your love for your father. You don't even know if he's still alive or not," Jezreel said.
Astreille was about to say something when a black van stopped on her side. The girl just kept walking and ignored it.
"By the way, Jez-- Ahhh!" Astreille screamed when someone grabbed her arms.
"Hello, Astreille? What's happening ?!"
"W-What do you guys need from me?" the girl stammered to the two men holding both her arms.
They did not answer, they begged him with all their might of men and forced to board the van. He let go of the cellphone he was holding because of that.
"Get off me!" Astreille screamed before kicking the other guy's leg. He then kicked the man next to him before hitting him in the face.
She was about to run away but one guy came out from the van and grabbed her. Astreille took a step backward when the man punched her stomach with force.
He was about to leave them when he felt dizziness and darkening of his vision.
She felt how they carried her towards the van. The girl just closed her eyes while trying to call a name in her brain. She doesn't have any strength to speak and to fight back. The man was hit with a delicate organ when it punched him.
She closed her eyes while breathing heavily. She kept on calling one person inside her mind who could save her.
Xord, please help me.
