Chapter 139 - Promise me you will protect her
During the starting of audio they could only listen to drizzling sound of the rain and there was faint sound of person running and the other followed by it.
" Raymond wait..I am only hear to talk. Please don't run." Nathan was panting profoundly as if he is running very fast.
"Nathan better you leave chasing me. I don't want to talk to you nor Jean. Let go friend" the other panting voice yelled.
Jean face fell suddenly listening to the hatred voice of Raymond. She clearly didn't except it from him. Scott held her tightly before patting her cheek. " Its okay…its okay" he comforted her. She is no longer the fierce woman he just saw some minutes back.
Then there is a sudden splash sound like someone fell hard on the ground. "Ahhh…you. Nathan how dare you to throw it on me. " They could imagine Ray lying on the ground while Nathan walked up to him.
"Shut up Raymond. As I said I only want the reason behind your irrelevant behavior." Nathan sounded angry but also gentle.
" If I say the truth will you let me go" Raymond sounded like a small child who is seeking for other's pity.
" Yes, I will never bother you. I just want truth" Nathan sounded little gentle and soft. Raymond face should be too pitiful that he couldn't help but talk gentle.
" I do really loved Jean. It is for her only" Raymond tried to say it is fact. But his voice wavered as he talked.
"Ray you think I am fool huh…I know you wrote it for Kiara. No need to pretend."
"you…you who said it. No I…I wrote it for Jean" he fumbled with his words clearly depicting it as lie.
" Ray, I am your friend. Never try to lie in front of me man. I saw you plucking flower from garden humming Kiara's name as if it is your prayer" Nathan laughed sadly.
" Leave me Nathan why are you bothering me like a pest. Don't you and your sister have other work" Raymond sounded irritated.
Jean silently started sobbing when Raymond said 'your sister' breaking his brotherly bond with Jean. Looks like this woman didn't move on from her past.
Scott's heart ached thinking how many times she would have cried silently when he was sleeping just because she dont want him to wake up. She was facing turmoil when he was sleeping peacefully...how could he not noticed it.
" Dare to bring Jean into this matter. I don't know what I will do. Do you know in which situation she would be in now and don't you know her unstable and delicate feelings. Shame to be your friend Raymond and no wonder Kiara didn't like you."
" Yes who will love me Nathan it is no one Okay. You should be happy that I am not a hindrance for your love" Raymond mockingly yelled at his friend.
It is Nathan's turn to be shocked. " Ray, I am not fraud like you. You better say truth now or are you just acting as her brother so you can break her already broken heart"
"Nathan why are you pestering me. Didn't you get Jean and Kiara all alone to you huh…" Raymond choked his words and his sobbing sound could be clearly heard in speakers.
They can say that his words didnt come from his heart. He was clearly faking the true emotions with his harsh words.
"Ray, please…I know you are not guilty. Something happened that night that you are hiding from us…" Nathan pleaded his friend.
Raymond gasped a little before smashing something in his hands on to the ground. He was truly annoyed now. Scott understood why Jean is so fierce when she is angry it is her brothers impact on her.
"You know right. Then you should have figured it out that I am hiding it for our sister's safety sake. Nathan how could you keep her in risk by coming to me. You know....still..why did you come." Raymond yelled loudly and series of smashing's are heard continiously.
For every smash Jean flinched and her face drowned in her tears. "Oh...Raymond..why" she muttered slowly that only Scott can hear her. Scott looked at her drenched face, he wanted to hug her tight and comfort her but he is helpless. That won't work on her now.
"Ray, if I know what is the threat I will help you to save our little sis. Please say…I will do whatever you ask" Nathan begged again. " I want to protect her like you do...please.."
" I want you to be with Jean always. Protect her and take care of her. Send her to blind dates and match her with a guy who will protect her. Promise me you will not leave her side at any means...please" Raymond voice is full of warmth and care. He even chuckled while saying about guy but soon he choked failing to control his agony.
Jean chuckled while she sobbed and looked at Scott. " You are my treasure Scott. My protector, my life and my everything" she said emotionally.
For this type of confession a deep and passionate kiss is only answer any one could listen. Seeing the couple Nathan smiled sadly.
"As I promised you, Ray. She now have a man who can protect her like you do" he muttered.
May be when Kiara died Nathan still sticked to Jean because of his promise....
Nathan laughed silently at his friends request. " Ray, she is also my sister. Of course I will do all these even without you requesting me. Now please say…."
"Nathan. I also want you to promise on me that you will discuss or say this to Jean. Whatever I say now cost our sister's life."
Jean flinched at his words. 'cost my life'
"Yes, Ray I will do anything to save her."
" Whatever I say now might risk my life. But nothing is important for me than Jean and her safety" Ray sounded helpless.
"Raymond. I do feel the same. Now please say the truth."
Raymond sighed and closed his eyes.
" That night when I was coming back from Jean's room. I saw my father and Vanessa sneaking some assassins into the mansion."
Nathan might looked very shocked that Raymond laughed bitterly.
"Yes my father was part of something in which he and Vanessa works. They looked too professional and dangerous."
"After sneaking them in, Vanessa went back to her room leaving my father to show them to Jean's room."
" I was startled that I didnt know what to do. As it was my father who lived me deeply
I thought of blackmailing him with my life so I stood at the doorway of our sister's room catching knife."
"My father got angry that he started yelling at me. I know I am not any way compared to them. Not knowing what to do I pressed the knife against my neck and blackmailed them that I will kill myself."
"That is when we came into a agreement that made me to betray our sister and humiliate her. And to blame her as a seducer"
