Always 17 Chapter 17 Haunt Her Kelly clung tightly to Zev's shirt, her whole body tense.
She had no desire to see Eric.
Finished Seeing her trembling. Zev shot Eric a cold glance before taking off his jacket and draping it over her shoulders. "Let's go." "Kelly, who is he?" Eric stepped forward, his wary gaze fixed on Zev.
He didn't care about Kelly's injured leg, and didn't even ask about it. His first reaction was to question the man standing beside her, the one who made him feel threatened.
"Who are you?"" Zev countered, his tone indifferent.
He was tall- so tall that he seemed to envelop Kelly entirely, radiating a quiet sense of security that was hard to put into words At six feet two, Zey towered over Kelly, who was only five feet four. She had always been wary of men this tall. Eric wasn't short either, standing at six feet, but next to Zev, his presence suddenly felt much weaker.
"I'm her husband," Eric said with a frown, reaching for Kelly's hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Kelly shrank away, pressing herself closer to Zev rather than going with Eric, She was afraid of Zev, but at this moment, she found Eric even more unfamiliar and terrifying.
"Husband?" Zev chuckled. "As far as I know, Mr. Gray's wife is the hospital director's daughter," Eric's frown deepened, his wariness growing. That has nothing to do with you. This is a private matter betweenand Kelly. - we'll handle it." Zev remained unfazed. Eric tried again, "Legally, she's still my wife" He had already consulted a lawyer, Given their situation, unless Kelly agreed to a divorce, his second marriage would be invalid.
In other words, he was still Kelly's husband.
"Kelly, I was wrong earlier, Eric said, his tone softening, "I shouldn't have touched your phone. But you have to understand- In doing this for your own good. You're alone now. If this situation escalates, it won't end well for you. We can't win against them. If they turn on you, you'll have nothing to gain- only madness and destruction. He thought he was protecting her.
Kelly had no family left. No one to stand by her side, no one to shield her from the forces pressing down on her.
If those people decided to crush her, she wouldn't stand a chance.
Kelly gripped Zev's shirt even tighter, her head hanging low as her body trembled Eric wasn't wrong-she was alone.
"Who says she's alone? Zev sneered. "Are you blind? Can't you see I'm standing right here? With that, he pulled Kelly closer into his arms. "And as for taking her with you- sort out your own mess first. Otherwise, you have no right to even speak." A black SUV pulled up by the curb, Gary stepped out, his expression dark, barely containing his anger.
"Kelly, get in the car," Zev murmured. "Kelly-"Eric grew anxious and moved to stop her. "Kelly, you just got back. Where did you even meet these people? Look at them- they're obviously dangerous! Chwith me." To Enc, Zev and Cary exuded a lethal, violent aura. They were the kind of men who lived in bloodshed.
But Kelly ignored him and instead lowered her head apologetically toward Gary.
KOM Chapter 17 Hount Her Gary opened the car door himself, his face cold. "You get in 100," he ordered Zev.
Finished Zey clenched his fists. He had been planning to beat Eric to a pulp before leaving, but now that Gary was here, that probably wasn't an option.
So instead, he grabbed Eric by the collar. "Lucky for you today. Next time, you won't be." With that, he shoved Eric backward.
Eric stumbled, barely managing to keep his balance, his face twisting with anger. "Kelly!" But Kelly didn't look back. She sat stiffly in the car, pressing herself against the door as if trying to put as much distance as possible between herself and Zev.
"Kelly, you really have no heart," Zev muttered as he slumped into the seat. His brows furrowed, his face turning pale- he had been forcing himself to stay upright this whole time.
Taking a deep breath, he clutched his chest, clearly in pain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKelly instinctively glanced at him but didn't dare move closer.
Zev's eyes w were tinged with red from the pain as he looked athem weakly. "Kelly why don't you just sit on the roof? Am I really that scary!" Kelly nodded. She thought Zev was terrifying.
Zev sighed in defeat. Then, without warning, he sprawled across her lap.
She pushed him away in frustration, but then she saw the fresh blood seeping through his shirt. If she shoved him too hard. hed just use it as an excuse to cling to her.
Zev's lips curled into a faint smile. "Kelly, if I die, keep my ashes at your place, okay? Even as a ghost, I don't ΕΠ want to leave you Kelly shuddered. It really felt like he had cback just to haunt her.
She sat frozen, not daring to move a muscle.
Gary shot Zev a disgusted look. "Run off like that again, and we'll just take you straight to the crematorium."
