Chapter 26

I walked fast heading to my car, opening the door, and about to get in, but there's a car came rushing and the driver hurriedly getting off.

"Kiari!" He said walking over me. He's holding his rifles.

"Dad. What are you doing here?" I question furrowed.

"You kidoo!" He shouted angrily remembering that I hit him to gain unconsciousness.

I was about to talk but someone shot us. Good thing we move quickly we dodge the bullets and instantly get in the car. They are following us, We over speed through highways. Skipping random cars, they keep shot us.

"Kiari!" Dad shouted, passing me his rifles. I positioned at the back and shot them. They stopped when I shot their tires.

I smirked, Marco and Timothy still fucking alive. And now they are chasing us to hell.

we went to the warehouse, getting out the car, and heading inside. But we stopped and glued on our feet. When we heard a gun crack and aimed to our heads. I shifted slowly to see the devil's face. It's Marco and the man that aiming his gun to my Dad was Timothy. They survive the bomb.

Timothy signaled one of his men, and they strolled inside the bedroom. Grabbing Selina and Baron, I took one stepped.

"Stop right there Kiari, Or all of their heads will be blown off," Timothy said deeply threatening. Blood trickling down on his face from his head.

"You asshole, let them go," I said darkly cold and he smirked.

They removed Selina and Baron's blindfold. Selina panic, looking at our gaze. She's scared and she's in pain, I can see it in her eyes.

"Uh-oh, no-no. You'll all gonna die here." He said pointing his gun to my Dad.

Dad winks his eyes signaled me, he slowly shifted his hand to his waistband and plunked his knife. And I twisted the gun from Marco's hand making him loses his grip, grabbing the gun wrapping my arm around his neck.

While Dad stabbed Timothy's stomach at the same time snatching his gun. Now both of them are our hostage.

"Let them go," I said darkly and they laughed.

"No. You let them go." Someone said walking entering the house.

I saw Selina was shocked, while me angered exploding. I looked at him with a death glare, lifting my eyebrows.

"Let them go or I'll kill Baron." He said pointing his gun on him.

"No let them go or I'll kill them both," I said darkly and he shot baron on his legs. Baron grimaces contorting in pain. I shot Marco the same spot as what he did to Baron. he bent and contorting in pain. I heard Selina's Screaming and crying My weakness.

"fuck you asshole!" Charles shouted angrily. And walked over to Selina and aimed his gun to her. My heartbeat stopped beating, I can't breathe as nervousness was driving my body. I can hear my rigid breathing.

Charles nodding lifted up his eyebrows.

"What now Kiari?" He questions darkly. "Oh wait." He said to act like he was surprised. He bends slightly and looked at Selina holding her face. I gritted my teeth as angered drives me nuts."You know what, you're beautiful. I wanna kiss you." He said idiotically, Selina shrugged to avoid his touches.

I point my gun to Charles and he smirked.

"Oh, wow chillax." He said jokingly.

"Let them go."He said threatening.

I looked at dad and he was looking at me waiting for my decision. I let go fo Marco pushing him, and Charles was to help him stood up.

I aimed my gun to Timothy.

"Now let them go," I said with the same tone. He shrugged and let go of Baron. Baron walked slowly to reached us.

"Opss, Let go of Timothy and I'll let go of her," Charles said pointing to Selina.

I hate this, I'm impatient. I shot Charles on his legs and he bends down contorting in pain. I walked to Selina and Untie her.

"Kiari!!!!!" Dad shouted and I looked back and the resounding gunshot boomed around the house. I close my eyes tightly, and after the gunshot, I slowly open my eyes. I saw my Dad kneeling with three gunshots, blood drenching on his suit, and flowing in his mouth.

"No. No." I said tears fell down on my face. I pulled my gun and shot them I shot Marco five times, He shot Dad.  And I shot Timothy three times. Charles left and Baron shot him in his legs.

"Dad... Hold on"I said and he holds my face using his bloody hand.

He sheld me from the bullets.

"Son." He mumbled struggling. I shaking my head.

"Don't cry...I can finally see Chelsea." He said wiping my tears and a tear slipped in his eyes.

"No... Dad, please... Please you can make it I'll call an ambulance."I said grabbing my phone but he stopped me.

"No need Son, I won't make it anyway," he said struggling and smiling weakly.

"No. don't say that Saynel!" I shouted.

"I'm your Dad kiddo, thank you so much for giving me a chance to be a father again. Kiari I may not be a... good father to you... but can you please be a good Son?... I don't like you being like this—is the way I taught you to be. Be real to yourself, I regret everything. " I cried nodded.

"Take good care of yourself. Change your life after this. Don't live like this, it's not good, it's miserable." He added and couching blood goes out from his mouth.

"I love you son. Be a good father." He smiles and closes his eyes.

"Dad!Dad!No!No!" I shouted smacking his face mildly trying to wake him up.

"Dad!!!!!!" No this can't be. Selina wrapped her arms around me and hugging me, Tightening. I keep sobbing. I hate this, this feeling never goes away.

"He saves me," I said lowly. Selina rubbed my back.

"Because you're his son. And he loves you." She said quietly comforting.

The ambulance came, picking up the dead bodies including Dad's body.

I sighed, stood up, and hugged her tight. We strolled our way outside and the hit of half sunrise hit out bare skin. The hot summer wind of the ocean gives me a nostalgic feeling. We walked leisurely, Baron was in the ambulance he can't be walked.

Charles still alive, but he has three gunshots on his body. Baron makes it, he removed the bomb off from Selina. We walked in the ocean finger intertwined, inhaling the ocean breeze and the scorching heat of the sun.
