Before Love Fades - Chapter 64：Ruin

In an abandoned warehouse, William was pacing anxiously back and forth. He kept on looking at his watch while Mr Wayne sitting down looking calm. If Cole was here, he would recognize the warehouse. It was the place where he almost lost his life. Aurora also recognize the place. Although it’s been years, the memories of back then is still fresh in her head. She was all tied up and her face shows no sign of fear nor anything. It was void. But her cold eyes send shivers to William and Mr Wayne. It’s the eyes that can easily take people’s life. They saw how she manage to kill some of their men so easily. It was only when they threatened to hurt Caleb she finally stopped and let them catch her. Still the eerie feeling when they look at her is something that doesn’t go away so easily. What they don’t know, behind her cold eyes, she was holding on the unbearable pain that she’s similar with. She knew the poison start to react again. The reason she stopped herself going reckless over the years was all because it took a toll on her whenever she fight like that. Now, that her condition is already bad as it is, she knew she won’t survive this no matter what. Her only regret is she won’t be able to see Cole and her brothers one last time.

“It’s all ruin. It’s all ruin!!! We should have act fast back then. We could have killed Cole back then. Now years of planning, it’s all ruin. This is all your fault grandfather.” William lost his composure. The anxious feeling that has been creeping on him when they lost contact with Brian is too great to ignore.

“Watch your tone with me boy. I’m still your grandfather. If it wasn’t for me, you would have live your life in poverty.” Mr Wayne reprimanded. Glaring at the grandson who are nothing like Cole. Easily scared and weak. If it wasn’t for him being his biological grandson, he wouldn’t even bother about this useless piece.

“I had to Aurora. You really surprised me time after time. Did you always know?” Turning his attention towards the emotionless woman tied up on the chair. She kept her cold face intact and doesn’t look like she wants to answer his question. He was in rage. For the woman to look down on him is something he could no stomach.

“No matter how you know, you still end up being caught by me. Do you think someone will save you? Years of my planning are ruin because of you and your brothers. Did you think i would let you live peacefully? Not after you ruin everything. I will take everything that belongs to you.” Mr Wayne bring a stack of papers with him and hold it in front of her.

“You will sign this obediently if you don’t want any of your brothers to suffer. My grandson will leave your brothers alone as long as you sign the papers.” She look at the papers and made her chuckle lightly. It seem he had prepared a will for her. That indicates every properties belong to her will be handed to Mr Wayne as her close kin. Her company share will be distributed to his two grandsons. She look up to his eyes.

“Your grandson is dead.” She said nonchalantly. Her cold voice penetrates every person in the warehouse. Mr Wayne start to change his face. Even William who was going insane quiet down when they both heard her.

“You’re lying.” Mr Wayne retorted. He signal his assistant to make a call to Brian. Aurora only grinned mockingly. However after his assistant made the call and confirm about the matter, he could no longer keep his calm.

“YOU!!! What have you done to my grandson?” He stood up as he grab her collar. Pulling her up before landing a punch on her face. Out of all the grandsons he have, he favored Brian the most for his brilliant plan and his ruthless way on gaining his followers. But now that he’s dead, it’s only William left.

“You shouldn’t have involve me in your family matter. I would have let you off. I am not called Aurora for nothing. You will pay for everything that you have done.” As soon as she said that, a loud bang can be heard from outside the warehouse along with countless of gunshots. Mr Wayne has gone pale while William start to hide cowardly in another corner. Aurora who saw the situation only grinned widely. Not long, the door to warehouse were blasted open causing William to shriek and Mr Wayne hurriedly went towards Aurora. Aurora who expected his reaction, force herself to stood up and using her every power she had to smash the chair onto Mr Wayne. Not long after, she spurted out blood from her mouth and falls down. While Mr Wayne who didn’t expect the incoming assault couldn’t defend himself. Some of the debris from the chair stabbed onto his thigh. He called out to William who was hiding in the corner to help him get out of here. William rushed towards his grandfather side and try his best to drag Mr Wayne away. Unfortunately all the exits are sealed.

Cole saw the scene rushed towards Aurora’s side and he told the others to take care of the two people. Aurora who has used everything she had had fainted and not responding towards Cole.

“Aurora, wake up. Please wake up.” He slapped her face lightly but still no response. Then he remember the antidote that Caleb gave to him. He open the tube and try to make Aurora drink it. Due to her losing consciousness she had no way of drinking it. He ended up pouring the whole thing inside his mouth before he pressed his lips to her mouth. Forcing it to open and slowly she obediently drank the antidote. He felt relief but it wasn’t for long when she ended up coughing more blood and every part of her body leaking black colored blood. He was freaked out. He ignore the Mr Wayne and William as he left the scene with her in his arms. Heading towards the helicopter to bring them to the hospital where Caleb is. Only Caleb know what to do next. He gave the orders to kill Mr Wayne and William as well as other relatives as soon as they were found. Leaving no one behind. This time, he properly end the feud between him and his granduncle. It was tragic but he has lost his parent and his own grandparent due to his greediness. Holding Aurora close to him, he vow to not lose anyone else including Aurora.
