Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance - Chapter 309

“Why her? Shouldn’t you get rid of Kris?” Ace asked.

‘Stupid… if I get rid of her, then I can go back to Kris…’ Becca hid her joy. “The best way to see Kris in pain is to get rid of her. I also know a way for you to take control of the entire Li empire.” Becca smirked.

Ace looked at Becca.. again, studying her.

“You have been close to Grandpa Li… isn’t it because you’re just waiting for the perfect moment to get rid of the old man and Kris? Once you get rid of them both… after Lena, of course, we can be together and you can take over the empire.”

“The old man is easy to get rid of… but Kris is a different story.” Ace addressed.

“I know… but I know someone who will want to get rid of Kris more than us…” Another big smirked appeared on Becca’s face.

“Who?”

“I.. I can’t tell you yet. But you have to trust me, Ace. You love me right?”

“Tell me what you need me to do.”

“I need a secure line to contact someone… and after I get well, we can have our time to shine.” Becca held Ace’s hand and seductively licked it. “And we can do so much more.. after I am well again.” She smiled at him.

She grabbed his shirt and pulled his face closer to hers. She could hear his rapid heartbeat and a flushed face. She laughed in her heart… Ace was still the same loverboy that she took advantage of when she took his virginity.

Becca placed a hand on him and kissed his lips… giving Ace a deep sensation kiss. “I promise that I will only love you know Ace…” She whispered to him after their long kiss.

Ace happily smiled at her. “I love you too. I will go out and get you something to eat and phone for you. Kris doesn’t know about this place, so we are safe here.”

“Ok. I’ll be waiting.” Becca smiled.

Ace gave Becca another kiss on the forehead and then walked out the door.

He closed the door shut.

Ace quickly spit on the plant pot outside the door and wiped his mouth.

“Disgusting woman…” He muttered and walked away from the room.

He grabbed his phone and sent a text.

Unknown: We need to talk.

After a few minutes, he got a replied back.

Ada: Old place. See you in 10, Ace.

Ace spoke with Dr. Who on a few things. He got a change of clothes and then quickly left.

Kris arrived at the meeting place a few minutes late. He looked at the empty bench and walked over to it. He had a long day… one hell of a day.

He sat on the bench and closed his eyes, reminiscing the old memories that this place had. Kris waited and waited… but it seems like he was the only one here. After half an hour had passed, Ace was still not here.

A phone suddenly rung out of nowhere. Kris looked under the bench and noticed a cellphone taped underneath it. He grabbed the cellphone and answered it.

“How’s sister-in-law?”

“She’s not your sister-in-law.” Kris replied.

“That’s right… she’s still unmarried.”

“Are we really going to have this talk over the phone…?” Kris looked around. Ace must be somewhere near.

“I thought about a face to face… but I realized that I am not strong enough to look you in the face.” Ace replied then paused. “You were right… she was never worth it from the beginning. We use to hide here every time grandfather would hit us. You would always take it all in like it was nothing. I would always come here and cry. Remember how you hung me over the edge of the cliff until I stopped crying?”

“I do.”

“Funny how things have changed. You couldn’t feel a thing back then… and now our roles are reversed. All I can feel is deep regret.”

“…” Kris did not reply.

“I rushed and ran to her like my life was over… hearing that you were going to take her out yesterday. But you know what? When I saw her body bleed lifelessly on the bed… I didn’t even feel a thing. More like I wished she was dead at that moment. I wanted to pull my knife and stabbed her eyes out and cut out her heart.”

“So what did you do?” Kris asked.

“I saved her, of course. Isn’t that what you wanted me to do?”

“You can do whatever you want with her.”

Ace let out a breath. “There is a chip hidden in the cellphone. It was taken out of Becca’s body when they pulled the bullet out of her. They thought it was a second bullet but it seemed like she hid some stuff in there.”

“Why are you giving this to me?”

“Becuase… I told you before Kris… we’re inseparable. I will protect you and everything you love.”

“And I have told you before, stay away from Lena.”

“Why? Are you scared that I will tell her your deepest and darkest secrets, and that she will leave you?”

“There is no secret dark enough to make her leave me.” Kris assured.

“That’s good. Now I really want to meet this woman of yours even more. But… we’ll leave that for another date. I didn’t look at what was on the chip. But what I do know is that Becca has someone else who can back her if you are no longer hers.”

“Who?”

“I don’t know yet… but she’ll be dead once I know. But don’t worry, brother, I will be the one to kill her this time.”

At that response, the call ended. Kris looked at the cellphone and then cracked open the back. He spotted a small chip hidden in the inside compartments. He took it out and looked at it. It was coated with something so it would not be damaged by water or blood.

What could be so important that Becca had to hide this inside her body?

Kris head back to the hospital while Ace head back to Becca.

When Ace returned, Becca was on the bed eating.

“You’re back.” She happily replied. “I was scared that you were leaving  me here.”

“You know that I would never do that.” Ace replied and walked over to her. He took out a cellphone from his pocket and placed it on Becca’s bedside table. “Your phone.”

“Is it… safe?”

“Untraceable.”

“Good.”

“Becca…” Ace sternly looked at her. “I can’t help you further if you don’t tell me anything. I can’t also keep you safe.”

“I am sorry.” Becca pleaded innocence. “I will make the call tomorrow morning. You can stay and listen in.”

“Ok.” Ace replied. He kissed Becca on the forehead and left, saying that he needed to prepare some things if they were going to go with their plan.
