I will Love You Forever - Chapter 114

Qin followed behind closely with Diana in the car with him. Diana was looking at the phone while he was driving with her directions.

Back when Ayla met him at the hospital, she had asked him how possible it was to catch a basilisk.

He was hesitant but after threatening to burn his license, he yielded. “Basilisks don’t like to be followed. They are very sensitive to stalkers.” he stopped there but she wanted to know more. Ayla had asked how to catch them and not how to get caught.

“And…” she asked but instead he asked her a question.

“How is it that you aren’t frightened by this? Most humans would prefer to mind their business than get involved with supernatural beings. Besides, you don’t seem to be surprised that they exist at all. Weirdo.” he whispered the last word so that Ayla wouldn’t hear.

Instead of answering his question, she decided to ask him a question as well. “Do you want to catch the basilisk or not.”

Qin wanted to get the basilisk and for now, that is all that matters. “Sure. But how do we explain to Gerard? He would be furious if he learns that I let you go ahead with this.” although he wanted to capture the creature, he also didn’t want Gerard to get furious for putting his wife in danger.

“Even if you choose to help me or not, I’ll still go after it. For all I know, more people could be in danger and I can’t just turn a blind eye.” Ever since her experience in Salem, she had made it her sole mission to evade situations like these.

The creature from Salem also hurt many people and even made some women widows and children, fatherless.

She wasn’t too surprised that creatures like that existed because her community had witnessed the wrath of one and if this basilisk goes around hurting people like the monster from her village, it would be best to put an end to it before the town goes into chaos.

“Even if you get the basilisk, you wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

Ayla looked at him confused.

Qin sighed. “Just as you may have read, the basilisk can kill it’s very by just looking at it so tell me, how can you even her close to it?”

Ayla pursed her lips. It was true that she wouldn’t be able to handle the basilisk and might die trying.

“The only way a basilisk can be trapped is through a mirror. The basilisk has to look at itself in a mirror and only then can it be trapped. Also, it has to be in its normal form, not the human form.”

This was hard work but Ayla was willing to do it to save Kara from any future discomforts.

She got up and was about to leave when Qin stopped her. “Where do you think you’re going? You can’t just carry a mirror around and call the basilisk to come out, ‘Hey you come here, I want to trap you!’”

Ayla scoffed and looked at him with a stern face. “Do I look like an idiot to you? Why would I be the one to trap it?”

Qin looked at her confused. “Then where are you going?”

“You looked so interested in catching the basilisk just now so I’ll do you the honour of trapping it yourself.” she bluntly spoke and Qin was speechless.

“Hah! And here I was thinking you were very confident.” he snorted.

“I obviously love my life more than I like you. Why would I risk my life like that? All I’ll do is act like a stalker and then, you can trap it yourself.” she shrugged making it sound so easy.

Qin pouted as though he had been wronged. “Why do I have to be the one?” just after he finished asking, Diana walked in and answered his question shocking him.

“Because you are not valuable. If you die we won’t get hurt.” her words stabbed him at a weak spot.

“Do you have to be so mean?” he asked and Diana exchanged glances with Ayla before shrugging.

“If you’re truly upset, go and get a wife and kids. Maybe then, you will become valuable.” she raised a brow and win sneered.

“I’d rather remain the most handsome and desired bachelor in country C.” he folded his arms and looked away childishly.

Ayla furrowed her brow and pretended to have seen something. “Wait, what’s that?” she pointed to his head and he wondered what she was talking about.

“Look, you’re starting to have grey hair. More like the most desired grandfather.” after she finished her statement, Diana burst into laughter and so did Ayla.

Qin ran to his bathroom to check the grey hair in the mirror while the girls laughed as he scurried away.

Diana soon stopped laughing and saw Ayla still chuckling at Qin’s behaviour. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something.

She looked at Ayla’s innocent smile and her beautiful violet eyes. ‘Why was I blinded by the fact that she was human? Why didn’t I take time to get to know her more?’ Diana regretted planning Ayla’s kidnapping and now, she desperately wanted to make things right.

In the next second, Ayla turned to look at her and Diana was caught unaware making her end up saying something else.

“Um…” she cleared her throat and Ayla looked at her attentively because Diana looked like she was about to say something.

“Do you want to say something?” Ayla asked making it easier for Diana.

Diana cleared her throat again and spoke, “Um… You should be careful out there. Um… I mean with the basilisk.” she avoided eye contact and Ayla almost wanted to laugh.

‘What are you a lesbian? Why are you avoiding my gaze?’ she smiled and nodded.

“Yes.” was all Ayla said before Qin came out with an angry face.

“Hey… How dare you lie to me like that?” he pouted and even joked about calling Gerard.

They all sat and made a plan. Ayla was glad that they didn’t need to kill the basilisk and would only be trapping it because she was worried that Kel would not be happy about her mother dying if truly her mother was the basilisk.

“Okay, now that the plan has been drafted, let’s text Gerard about it.” win picked up his phone but I immediately reached for it.

“What are…” he stretched his hand and looked at me confused.

“Gerard doesn’t need to know about this. This is just a minor task. Why do you want to distract him from work?” Ayla asked. She didn’t want Gerard to get worried at all and that was why she stopped him.

“But we…” Qin wanted to persuade her but Ayla decided to make it easier.

“Majority carries

the highest vote. If you want to tell Gerard please signify now…”

Qin immediately raised his hand but he was the only one with his hands raised.

Ayla completed her statement, “Or forever hold your peace.” her lip curved up and she slammed the desk happily.

“It’s settled then, we aren’t telling him. Let’s stay together more often from now on so that we can pull this off flawlessly.” she pointed out and Diana nodded.

“Aish… Why are you taking her side instead of mine?” Qin asked Diana frustratedly and she shrugged,

“She’s my sister-in-law,” she said this so casual but even Ayla couldn’t bring herself to register it in her mind.

After a few seconds of silence, Qin scattered his hair and looked crazy. “You’re both driving me crazy. Argh…”

Back to the present.

The car stopped at an abandoned warehouse and I was asked to get out of the car.

Obediently with a gun pointed at me, I got off leaving the phone and everything in the car.

We walked into the warehouse and a man was already standing there. He had his back facing us and I couldn’t see him clearly and to make matters worse, there was only a little amount of light entering the building.

I didn’t protest nor did I beg. I just simply followed their lead.

“Val, here, this is what you wanted.” Elizabeth pushed me softly. I could tell not hope that Qin and Diana didn’t lose track of me.

The man finally turned around and looked at me. To my surprise, he was a man probably in his early thirties and had a smiley face.

He didn’t look like someone that would be dangerous nor did he look like a psycho.

“Ayla… How have you been?” he asked and I turned to look at Elizabeth confused.

‘How did this person know my name?’ I wondered. I recalled the name Elizabeth just referred to him as and realized that I saw the same name on the door of the head of the hospital.

Was this the same person? Wait, if this is the man Elizabeth met at the hospital could it be that I am the girl they spoke about?

My eyes widened at the realization and the man revealed a sinister smile.

‘Shit, what have I gotten myself into?’
