Chapter 42
CALISTA RAYMONDS
I lean back on the car as Chase drives the car with a slow music playing.
Actually I’m excited same time exhausted, Chase didn’t quite participate in any thing as he just sit back and press his phone all long while I just went on to have fun.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
I turned my face and look at him then smiles, the way his face is when he’s focused on something is captivating.
And, I don’t mind drooling over him, he’s just too perfect to not be noticed.
“What are you thinking, Princess?” He asked me with a foreign accent that made me stare at him.
Did he just call me a princess with an accent?
“Nothing.” I smiled at him, he turned his face and focus on the road again.
“Anywhere else you wanna go?” He asked me and I shake my head negatively.
“I’m tired and just need to rest” I told him and he nodded and increase his speed.
My eyes suddenly lands on the rear mirror and I noticed a black Jeep following us. Well, I’m not sure if it’s actually following us. I am, we are at a high way and I don’t expect our car to be the only one.
But then, I saw a man peek out his head from the car with a gun aiming at us!
“Uhm…. Chase! I think we’re being followed” I told him in horror and he looked at me first before looking at the rear mirror.
And just then , I heard a gunshot with a bust sound.
“Stay calm” he said to me and immediately reversed the car, I looked at the rear mirror, the car did the same too.
And now, I’m sure it’s following us.
“Can you drive?” Chase asked me and I nodded.
“Take the wheel”
“What ! Are you fuckin insane! ” I yelled at him but he didn’t say any word to me, he just shifted himself from the seat and forced himself to sit at the back seat.
I immediately grab the wheel and look over at him. He’s really insane!
Did he even think before doing what he just did? What if I can’t drive.
“Drive and don’t try to put your mind in what’s happening. Just drive ” he whispered into my ear.
I nodded and step on the gear , My body is already vibrating in horror as I try as much as I can not to look at the rear mirror.
How did I forget that Chase is a bad boy Mafia?
Literally any where he goes, there must always be his enemies.
Even when I know little or less about his type of lifestyle but I know too well that the lifestyle he’s living consists of guns, enemies and drugs!.
If Chase have an enemy , his enemy will sure be my enemy because when they can’t get to him, they will try to get him through something, either by kidnapping his family members or threatening him with something important to him.
Everyone around him is not safe! And then my mind drifted to his Ex girlfriend, she have lost her life when she take a bullet for him and I’m pretty sure that she’s attacked first because they know how much Chase must have loved her.
I love my life! I’m just a girl who wants to live a peaceful life, Why do I have to witness the shooting and the race?
Why do I have to be involved. I heard the breaking of glasses and I looked through the rear mirror, it was Chase breaking the mirror and with his head sticking out from the car, I heard a gunshot.
And that was when I realize that Chase also have a gun in his possession.
The usual sharp pain I always feel was there again, and with one hand on the wheel, I used the other hand to hold my chest and then cried in pain.
“Are you Okay?” Chase asked me as he taps my shoulder, I looked at him through the mirror and nodded.
But I was not Okay, I looked through the side mirrors but I couldn’t see the black Jeep again. It seems like they have disappeared all of a sudden.
“Pack the car here and I’ll drive” Chase instructed and I obeyed him and stopped the car.
He got down and came over to my side then opened the door.
“I’ll drive… Let’s switch” he said and I nodded. I walk over to the other side and enter the car.
Chase started the engine once again and slowly drive out.
I’m not myself and I couldn’t even look at him again. Why haven’t I known earlier that he have a gun in his pocket?
Maybe it’s because he knows the type of life he lives and just can’t go out without a weapon. He turn and look at me while still driving.
“You good?” He asked me.
I glared at him, how am I supposed to be good after what I just expressed? I just literally saw him pull out a gun and shot it and I almost have my ear busted. What if the bullet have hit me or him?
“Mmh” I hummed at him and he smirked.
“Don’t think much about what just happened okay? It’s just a routine of mine” he smirked and I stared at him.
“I almost lost my life there Chase! I saw you pull out a gun and you shot it, Those men shot our Car and I almost get killed. You’re telling me to not think about what happened? Is this some sort of horror movie!” I yelled at him.
He laughs and touch my forehead with his palm.
“You’re still alive princess” he whispered.
“You!” I cursed him under my breath and hit my hand on the seat. I stared outside the window and I always glance at the Rear mirror just in case we get attacked again.
After today, I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to go out with him ever again.
I can’t deal with his lifestyle, I’m just his slave , am just with him to pay off for my father’s stupid mistake.
I can’t get involve in Chase’s dirty lifestyle.
Once I notice we’re home, I waited for him to park the car and then I got down from the car, without a word, I carried my self inside the house.
