I’m Just His Wife

Her lips curved a smile. She straightened my hair and stared at me. “I can feel it. I’m about to disappear next to you …” her tears rolled down her cheeks.

I don’t know but I immediately felt nervous. “What were you saying, Ate? Please, stop saying that!” there helped tears from my eyes.

He grinned and I was horrified by that kind of grin. ‘they followed us. Look at my back …” he simply whispered to me.

I barely peeked behind him and I saw three snipers hiding behind a wall!

“Ate-” he interrupted what I was about to say and pulled me to walk again.

“Did you bring your gun with you?” he asked calmly as I almost shivered with nervousness and could no longer walk properly.

I sighed. “Shit. I didn’t-”

He took something from his thigh pocket and I saw him pull out a gun from there. I thought it was what he had tied to his thigh earlier. It’s a gun pocket.

“Here. Take this, you need that more. I’m the one they’re targeting so you might even get hurt. So go ahead, bring this gun with you and hide. I can do this alone.” he handed me the gun as we continued to walk. I also feel like snipers were following us. I feel like they were not just three, they were many.

I took it and immediately turned it on. “How about you?” we pretended to be just walking normally.

“I have a knife here. It can at least save me, though …”

I close my eyes emphatically. Oh, god. How did Dark Alpha find out where we were?

“When I say, run, you will run. was that clear?” how was Ate able to be calm now?

My eyes widened. “No! I won’t be able to leave you alone! There were more snipers around!”

She smiled. “I can handle them, Rigella. How many times have I fought to death, am I still scared?”

“Ate-”

“If ever something bad happens to me, don’t forget that I love you. You were the most the best brother in the world for me. And also, take care of what I have worked for. Alright?” her tears were continuously flowing.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I could not answer. The speed of events!

She kissed my forehead. “I love you. Sisters forever …” he smiled at me.

Why does it seem like she knows that this will happen? Like she’s expecting this.

“When you run, don’t look back, okay?”

“Ate naman-”

“1 …”

Oh, god no.

“2 …”

Shit!

“3 … RUN!”

As Ate said I ran and she didn’t look back. I hid in a high wall and could see Ate and those who were rushing with her.

While crying I silently prayed. God, please save my sister!

Using a knife he knocked down the three snipers and he also dodged the locusts fired at him. She’s amazing.

Ate raised both her hands while holding a knife in one of her hands. They stopped for a moment and seemed to be talking.

I saw the four people in bonnets smile while Ate’s face was very angry. She was about to start when she suddenly stopped and … I saw a red dot at her back.

I inhaled and covered my mouth. I even heard a series of gunshots hitting Ate’s back. My grip on my gun tightened as Ate turned to me and circled while there was no expression on her face.

The four men in front of Ate laughed and apologized, like they just accomplished something. A man landed next to Ate’s body.

I gritted my teeth because of anger. I was about to take a step with hands on my shoulders. I immediately turned around and saw Seymour seriously.

“Don’t go there. You might even be damned.” the seriousness of his voice made me shiver a bit.

“Si … si Ate …” I almost whispered as I promised.

“She’s expecting this to happen. She sacrificed her life for you …” her lips trembled and she averted her eyes.

I was confused by what he said but he tried to keep his eyes away from me.

He looked behind me and suddenly pulled me with his free hand. His other hand was holding a gun too. When I looked in front, the men were no longer there so I immediately left Seymour and ran to Ate.

When I got close to him I knelt down next to him and saw how he was trying to open his eyes while grinning. My tears flowed because of that.

“I shouldn’t have left you, Ate …” I cried so he turned to me and smiled.

“A … Andrea Ste … Steinfields.” he fails promise while smiling. “It … It suits y … you.”

It was her pen name because she did not want to introduce herself to the public as the owner of SCC Andrea from Rina Andrea and Steinfields, her husband’s surname.

“Ate …” was my only promise.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Seymour staring at me anxiously with his fists clenched.

“I … Take care of everything … that we … John and I …” he said and coughed. I was almost depressed when I saw that he had almost vomited blood.

“No, don’t say that. We’ll take you to the hospital …” I sobbed.

“No need. No … I won’t either … I’ll reach …” he smiled and tried to caress my cheek.

I held his hand resting on my cheek. “Ate …”
