One last time - Chapter 335
Before Silvia could say anything, Sabrina quickly requested, “Please don’t send me away, I know you don’t want to talk to me but I think you should hear me out.”
Thinking for a while, Silvia instructed the guards, “I know her.” After the guard stepped away, she inquired, “What do you want?”
Looking around, Sabrina answered, “We cannot talk here, it’s not safe. Can we talk inside?”
“No, my husband is taking a nap right now and I don’t want anyone to disturb him,” Silvia snapped. She had no idea why Sabrina was here and had no idea what kind of intentions she harboured, there was no way she would let her go anywhere close to Kevin.
Without waiting for Sabrina’s reply, she added, “There is a room in the corner where no one comes, we can go there and talk.”
“Okay, as long as no one sees us together,” Sabrina sighed.
Making sure that the door was closed, Silvia asked the guard to stay alert and guided Sabrina towards the room while a couple of guards followed them behind.
….
Inside the room.
“Ma’am we will stand in the corner, we are not allowed to leave you with strangers,” one of the guards stated.
“It’s alright, this won’t take long,” Silvia answered before walking further inside along with Sabrina.
Standing by the nearest window, Sabrina inquired, “How are you Silvia?”
“Cut the chase and come to the main point, why are you here at this hour?” Silvia snapped.
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Sabrina sighed, “I know you are still angry with us but you have to understand, we had no other choice. If I hadn’t left, everyone would end up losing their lives and—”
Cutting her off, Silvia scoffed, “If you are here to talk about something that doesn’t matter to me anymore then I don’t want to waste my time.” Without waiting for her reply, she walked away.
“Alright but I am sure that you are interested to talk about what happened today.” When Silvia stopped midway, Sabrina added, “Kevin is very fortunate that he is still alive and breathing.”
“What do you mean?” Silvia curiously inquired, she was having a feeling that Sabrina knew something about the sudden bomb blast that happened.
Pausing for a while, Sabrina sighed, “Do you think everything that happened today was a mere coincidence? Someone bombarding the same floor of the City Hall where Kevin was attending the function? Don’t you think it’s weird and too obvious to be a coincidence?”
When Silvia scrunched her brows, she added, “Because it’s not, everything that happened today wasn’t a coincidence but a well planned mission to kill someone and that someone is Kevin.”
Gulping in nervousness, Silvia’s hands and feet started turning cold and she felt chills down her spine. The things that Sabrina had just pointed out made her realize that things were really too obvious to be a mere coincidence.
Realizing what she had said was affecting Silvia, Sabrina continued, “And do you know who wanted to kill Kevin?” Without waiting for her reply, she inched closer and whispered, “SPIRIT.”
Running her fingers through Silvia’s hair, she sighed, “Honey, there is a reason why I left everything and ran off to a different country with a new identity with your father. I had everything back then, money, power, status but yet I chose to leave because I realized how dangerous SPIRIT it.”
Pausing for a while, she added, “Back then, they also tried to kill your father but we were fast and lucky enough to escape everything and start a new life but it’s the same for everyone.”
“You are living freely without caring about SPIRIT and all the other external factors but only the people who are trying to keep you safe know how tough it is.” Lifting Silvia’s chin up, Sabrina sighed, “Kevin was just lucky enough to escape and save his life but what about the next time? These attacks are not gonna stop until they take his life. And not just Kevin, they are going to target all your loved ones. Lily and George, Herpi and Julie, Kevin, Janet, Ron and all your other friends, they will spare no one.”
Keeping quiet for quite some time, she continued, “All your loved ones will end up losing their lives because of you. SPIRIT wants you Silvia and if you vanish, they will never bother anyone of them. Everyone is going to live a peaceful and happy life if you walk out and disappear all of sudden without leaving any kind of trace behind. But if you stay, you have to watch every single one of them lose their life because of you.”
Caressing her head, Sabrina took a deep breath, “I know you are the smart one Silvia, you will make the right choice. You don’t have much time left, you have to do something before they kill someone who is close to you.”
Looking at her for quite some time, Sabrina started walking out of the room.
“How sure are you that they will stop bothering everyone else after I am gone?” Silvia inquired.
“They are only bothered about you honey, everyone else is just a tiny obstruction which is stopping them from reaching out to you. Once you disappear out of their lives, everything will turn back to normal.” Pausing for a while, Sabrina added, “Now you have to decide whether you want to stay and watch them die or just walk out and watch them lead a happy life from afar.” Without saying anything else, she walked out of the room leaving Silvia behind feeling awful.
Grabbing the window pane, Silvia closed her eyes and took a deep breath but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stop her tears from flowing down her cheek. She knew from the very beginning that SPIRIT was something that was latched with her and the people around her were unnecessarily getting involved without having to do anything with it.
She was the reason why everyone was suffering and she could also be the reason for everyone to live a happy and peaceful life….
