Entangled With The CEO Brothers

Wherever he went I followed. Once after dinner, he subconsciously touched his pants pocket, pulled out half a day what did not pull out, followed by a bit scratching his head in a hurry like.

He must have been addicted to cigarettes.

He went quietly to the door, changed his shoes, and was about to go out when I got up and followed.

“Laura!” he glared at me, “What the hell do you want?”

I laughed at his look and pretended to be innocent, “Don’t want to do anything … just want to follow you.”

“Why would you want to follow me?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Because I’m afraid that once you go out, you won’t come back.”

“You …”

Cameron let out an indignant breath.

“Laura, is this torture in disguise? I just wanted to go out and get a pack of cigarettes!”

I scooted closer to him, unable to hold back the giggle. “Then consider this my torture in disguise. Cameron, I love it when you look at me like you’re pissed off and can’t fuck me over!”

“Laura,” he blushed.

“No smoking in the house.” I also squared my face, “I told you this on your first day here! Because there are kids and elders in the house and Sunny and Yasmin can’t take the smell of smoke!”

“Then it’s always okay if I buy it and smoke it outside, right?”

“Even more so.” I looked at him, “What if someone ties you up while you’re smoking?”

“Do you have mud in your head?” He stared dryly, “Or have you been acting too much? Who would kidnap me? Those kidnappers would have to find someone better to kidnap!”

“Carter would!” I yelled.

My heart hangs in the air at the mere mention of it.

All the days Cameron had been here, I hadn’t told him why I’d insisted he live with me.

“Carter will,” I say, “Carter will turn on you!”

He narrowed his eyes at me for a long moment and let out a soft laugh, “Who told you that?”

“Don’t you care who it was …”

“Was it Rafael?”

I raised my eyes in shock.

He straightened up, crossed his arms, and sneered. “Did he say that he learned from a friend that Carter was going to get back at me?”

“Yes.” I nodded lightly.

“Heh …” he laughs, “It’s all over the mall. It’s pretty much known in my circle!”

“Huh?”

“And Rafael actually took this as news and courted you?” He looked at me, “And you actually believed it! What can I say about you? Stupid!”

He reached out and rubbed my hair vigorously.

I didn’t understand what was going on for a moment.

“You knew all that?” I asked him in a daze, “If you know all that, aren’t you going to get ready?”

“Prepare for what?” He frowned, “Doesn’t Carter just want to get back at me? Then go ahead and do it! He has nothing now, what do I have to be afraid of!”

“It’s because he has nothing that he’s so vicious!” I advised him, “Cameron, have you heard that saying? A barefoot man is not afraid of a man in shoes.”

“Heh, I’ll wait!” He snorted lightly, “You’re funny though Laura. carter is your own brother and instead of helping him you’re worried about me!”

“You’re my brother too.” I hung my head.

Half the time, he grunted softly.

Another one of those dismissive sneers.

“Brother …” he muttered, “It’s ironic that we’re in a relationship right now.”

“Anyway, I don’t want anything to happen to you!” I got anxious, “Our relationship is ironic, but you’re at least my daughter’s real dad!”

“And …,” I looked at him, “I have nothing to do with Rafael, can you stop bringing him up all the time?”

Cameron was stunned, his eyebrows slightly relaxed.

But the eyes are still sharp.

“I’m not with Rafael.” I whispered, “I was using him as a shield that time in front of the press. Because I was afraid Carter would publicize our relationship so …”

“Even as a shield.” Cameron’s gaze deepened, “Heh, Laura, you owe a big favor! How do you think you should pay it back?”

He looked a little teasing, as if he was watching a joke.

My heart tugged at me, and I was in a state of shock. Suddenly it felt like I was making a fool of myself by minding his business.

The air of silence felt awkward.

After a long time, Cameron gently walked out of the room, not forgetting to admonish me as he opened the door, “I’m going for a walk, don’t follow me!”

“Cameron …”

He paused in his tracks.

I take a deep breath and whisper, “I’ll explain it to Rafael.”

“Explain what?”

“Cameron… I just realized you’re the most important man in my life. I’ll explain it to him and I’ll repay this favor in some other way.”

My face heated up when I said that.

Wasn’t that too direct a way to speak? It’s like memorizing lines, a bit mushy.

But it’s what I really think.

Cameron stops by the door; he doesn’t look back. His shoulders rose and fell with his breathing, and his back was reflected in the dark night with an indescribable despondency.

“Get some rest early.” For a long time, he threw down such a sentence.

I went back to my room, my mind was blank, time seemed to start roaming. When I closed my eyes, all the grudges and grudges of the last twenty years came rushing back to me all at once.

The next day I made an appointment with Rafael.

I decided to have a showdown with him.

Rafael was a little surprised when he got my call and agreed to meet me.

I left the house early and kept thinking about what to say when I met him. But after thinking about it all the way, I still didn’t have the right words.

I am lamenting the brain is too stupid, but when I walked into the corner, through the glass window of the roadside store, suddenly realized that there are people behind me to follow me …

I flinched, my head went blank for a few seconds, and then I looked back, and it seemed like no one was there.

Maybe I was making too much of a fuss.

However, just as I was about to walk to the place I had agreed with Rafael, I suddenly felt a tingle in my back, as if I had been electrocuted, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably, then my eyes went black and I lost consciousness.

Woke up lying in a shabby room.

I do not know where this is, surrounded by darkness, cold wind from the broken window poured in.

I shivered, my feet stomped on something I didn’t know, and when I fixed my eyes on it, it was actually a person too!

“Ah!” I screamed.

The man slowly moved his body and raised his head. The moment I locked eyes with him I was speechless with shock.

“Rafael?” my heart was in my throat, “How could it be you?”

Rafael looked around and gasped, his eyes growing deep and condensed.

“It’s Carter,” he whispered, “the man who followed you, it’s Carter …”

I snapped to the figure reflected in the glass window on the street corner.

It turned out that the man was really following me!

“I got there before you.” He said, “I watched you walk over, but all of a sudden you fell to the ground … I ran over and found Carter knocking you out with an electric baton and dragging you into a van.”

I gawked and kept gulping, my heart pounding in panic.

“And how did … you …”

Rafael looked at me and smiled softly, “I saw you were in danger and followed you. Carter found me and used the same method against me to get me here as well.”

Baffled, I asked, “Carter… what the hell does he want?”

Rafael looks at me without making a sound, his crystal eyes darkening at the moment.

He moves slowly to my side, first helping me untie the ropes from my arms and legs, then looking around.

There doesn’t seem to be a suitable exit for escape except for that broken window.

Rafael is silent for a moment, tying the sheets and quilts and even the curtains all together into one long rope.

“You go out first.” He said to me, “When you get out don’t stop for a moment, run and go to the police!”

“No …” I hesitated, “I can’t leave you here alone!”

“Don’t worry about that at this point!” He spoke to me very loudly for the first time, “Just do what I say!”

“Rafael …”

“Carter is targeting you, Cameron!” he yelled, “Don’t you get it? He’s got you here to get at Cameron! And what about me? He brought me here because he was afraid his whereabouts would be compromised!”

“His target wasn’t even me.” He gripped my shoulders tightly, “Laura don’t worry, I won’t be in danger!”

My nose turned sour and I watched him in a daze as he dropped a tear.

“Don’t cry, don’t be afraid.” He gently embraced me and patted my back, “I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“Don’t hesitate before it’s too late.” He smiles softly at me.

I nodded, but I held onto his hand, unwilling to let go.

But then there was a bang on the door.

Carter walks in slowly, his silhouette blocking out the dim light of the hallway, his footsteps echoing in the empty space, each one making my heart skip a beat.

He grinned a slightly eerie smile.

Rafael steps in front of me.

Carter glanced at him and said coldly, “Mr. Rafael, this is none of your business, and I really don’t want to hurt anyone.”

“Laura’s business is my business.” Rafael’s voice was low and husky, “Carter, advise you, she is your own sister after all …”

“You’re so annoying!”

Carter swung his fist over, Rafael was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

I rushed over to help him. Carter hit him in the corner of the mouth and he was covered in blood as he slumped to the ground coughing violently.

“What the hell are you doing!” I screamed at Carter.

“Don’t you know what I’m going to do?”

Carter shoves me hard.

There were mirrors on the wall behind me, and with his push, I slammed right into that mirror, shattering the glass and falling to the floor with a crash. I lost my balance and slammed down on that glass slag, both palms of my hands aching as if they were spaced out.

He tossed me a cell phone.

“Call!” He glared at me viciously, “Get Cameron out here! I want to talk to him alone!”

I braced my hands on the ground and stepped back a little.

Two trails of blood appeared on the floor and my mind went blank.

“Call!” He roared.

Tears instantly came to my eyes.

“Carter…” I tried to stabilize him first, “You, will you calm down? No matter what, I’m your sister… you do this to me, does mom know?”

“Don’t mention mom to me!” Carter pointed at my nose and glared angrily, “Laura, you don’t deserve to be mom and dad’s daughter anymore! You’ve been with Cameron that … heh, do you know who he is? Do you know what you’ve done!”

He grabbed me and shook me so hard I was like a ball of cotton, my organs seemed to have shifted.

“Laura … I’m going to let you die, all of you!”

“Let her go!” Rafael rushed out from behind, both arms jammed around Carter’s neck. Carter couldn’t breathe, his eyes were round, his hands were loose and I escaped from under his hands.

The two of them fought into a mess, the room banging sound, I panicked and confused, six God, except for staring at all this in front of me, but there is nothing I can do.

Suddenly I saw the phone on the floor.

I shivered and picked it up, my fingers seemed to be out of control, I tried my best to stay calm, just about to dial the police, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in my wrist.

Carter kicked me in the hand.

The phone flew out.

Rafael fell to the ground as well.

I looked at Carter as he stood in front of me with a ghostly smile. He seemed to be swimming on the edge of insanity, his eyes were off.

“Listen to me!” I tried hard to calm him down, “I, I’ll agree to any terms you want … Didn’t you ask me to call Cameron out for money? How much do you want, I’ll try to fulfill you …”

“Not money!” He stomped his foot hard and hissed like a manic monster.

“Laura, you don’t understand anything. Cameron he’s a bastard, but he took everything that should have been mine! He ruined The Lynch Family, he ruined Mom and Dad, and he ruined me!”

“I can’t understand what you’re saying …”

“You don’t need to understand!” He stared at me, his eyes showing a cold light, “Laura, you’re in league with him … Heh, you two are in league! It’s whoever I get!”

“Carter…”

Before my words fell, I saw him pull out a pistol, and the black, slippery barrel pointed straight at my brow.

My soul was broken, the hairs on my body stood up in sweat, and my spine was immediately cold.

He smiled grimly, just a moment to pull the trigger, I was too scared to move, that thousandth of a second too late to react, there is only one thought in my mind: I’m going to die…

“A loud bang pierced my eardrums.

The smell of gunpowder floated in the air.

However, when I came back to my senses, I realized that I was still alive, my heart was beating violently, a wisp of light smoke in front of my eyes …

In front of me, lay a man, blood gurgling out from underneath him.

“Rafael!” I screamed out of breath, tears rolling down my face in a torrent.

Carter stood frozen not far away as well, smoke still coming from the muzzle of the gun in his hand.

I gently lifted Rafael to his feet, he was still conscious, yet his face was ashen and his lips were white. My hands were sticky and wet, and it was only then that I saw that he had been shot in the shoulder, and one arm was hanging limply to the ground.

“Rafael, Rafael…” I called out his name.

He had taken the bullet for me.

I’d rather be the one who got hurt, the one who should have died!

“Don’t cry …” he was out of breath, “I’m, I’m fine … holding up… …”

“Don’t you say anything, I’ll call an ambulance!”

I went to look for the cell phone, only to find it squeezed tightly in Rafael’s hand.

The screen showed that a 911 call had just been dialed.

I cried harder and took Rafael in my arms.

“No one’s going anywhere!” Carter suddenly yelled. Sweat beads on his forehead as well, his lips trembling as he slowly raised his gun again.

“I already killed one anyway, I don’t care!”

I looked at him coldly, and in that moment, all hell broke loose.

Rafael closed his eyes and I held him a little tighter again.

I closed my eyes too, readying myself for this.

But then, a siren sounded outside, and through the window I saw red and blue police lights flashing.
