It All Started With Hatred-Chapter 148: Urgent call

Petal was fast asleep in Ethan’s arms. Lulled by the calm beat of his heart and the warmth of his body. As for Ethan. He had a hard time sleeping. He had a fool smile on his face. Feeling happy and satisfied.

Petal had trusted him. Give him the most precious thing that she possesses. She was too damn cute and he tried to control himself and be gentle but he couldn’t. Her alluring body was tempting and he couldn’t resist. He had her three times and he still hadn’t his full. The dark side in him wanted to do more things to her but he felt bad seeing her not able to stand on her feet.

Lost by the heat of the moment. Ethan forgot that she was born with a weak body and pushed her far more than she could handle. Last week he had read her medical reports since she was a child. It was a miracle that she served as a baby. She was born with multiple health problems including hearing and speaking disabilities.

Petal had a hard time as a baby and also as a teen. But when you look at her now. One can see how strong she is. Independent and powerful woman. He was lucky that she fell in love with him.

Soon. Ethan fell asleep too. Hugging her in his arms. Tonight he was the happiest man on earth.

-----

The next morning. At ten in the morning exactly. Ethan was forced to wake up from his sleep by the sound of his voice ringing. Looking at the ID number. He frowned. Why would Jacob call him at this time?

"Hello." Ethan replied.

"Ethan. Bring Petal and come to my apartment. It’s urgent." That’s what Jacob said before he ended the call.

Ethan’s eyebrow rose as he stared at the phone. That man has begun to Irritate him. If only Petal doesn’t trust him. He would have taught him a lesson.

But what is this urgent matter that he spoke about? Couldn’t it be related to Petal?

Ethan glanced down at Petal who was still sleeping deeply resting her head on his shoulder. He didn’t have to wake her up. But she would be mad at him if didn’t wake her up.

Twenty minutes later. Petal was already dressed in fresh new clothes after getting a quick shower. When Ethan woke her up and told her about Jacob’s call. She knew that was something bad. He wouldn’t have called if he didn’t feel the need to.

Inside the car. Petal was sitting close to Ethan where he held her hand in his, noticing how tense and nervous when he told her.

"Relax. He is fine. He knows how to take care of himself." Ethan said, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. Pulling her closer.

Petal looked up at him nodding her head. Hoping that his words are true because she has a bad feeling that the few coming days are hiding the worse for her.

"He wouldn’t call if it’s not something urgent. Jacob is a very serious person."Petal said. signaling.

Ethan tried to not show how Irritated he was by how she was talking about that man. But she was right. Jacob is one of the finest bodyguards. After all, it’s been his family business for years now. His family has worked as bodyguards for years for influential politicians or the underworld.

Fifteen minutes later. Petal and Ethan arrived at Jacob’s apartment. Taking out her keys. Petal unlocked the door and stepped up inside the apartment to be welcomed by the mess and the broken furniture and Jacob who was sitting sipping his coffee and his face was bruised and he had blood on his t-shirt.

"What happened?" Petal asked, walking towards him.

Ethan’s gaze shaped along with the apartment before he looked at Jacob. Waiting to know what caused all of this.

"Well. I had an intruder but I took care of him." Jacob said sipping on his coffee as if nothing happened."Now. For why I asked you to come here because that intruder was here. To kill you to be precise." He added taking another sip from his coffee.

Hearing this. Ethan’s face darkened. Another one. This has gone too far.

Petal’s face paled after hearing what Jacob said. She turned to look at Ethan who had a murderous look on his face.

"This one claims that he knows you personally." Jacob said as he stood up walking towards the kitchen opening the door. He leaned against the wall waiting for his childhood friend to gather her courage.

Ethan approached Petal and she looked at him with fear in her eyes. She was scared. He could tell by the way her hands were shaking.

Walking with her towards the kitchen only to take a step back once she saw the man who was tied up to the chair. Her eyes widened realizing who this man was. Petal’s breathing turned heavy as she took a step towards the kitchen again looking at this man.

Both Ethan and Jacob exchanged a look."Petal. Do you know this man?" Ethan asked her.

Petal ran her hand through her hair tugging it behind her ears slowly and nodded her head.

"Breath. Petal." Ethan spoke to her in a calm voice wrapping his arms around her. Noticing that she was shivering in fear.

Petal held onto him tightly. She couldn’t believe what was happening. How many people were watching her pretending to be normal people when they are not.

Despite the serious moment. Jacob smiled seeing how Petal and Ethan’s relationship developed. They seemed closer now. It was good progress for her.

"Now. Tell me. Who Is this man and how do you know him?" Ethan asked in a warm voice not wanting to scare her more.

Petal pulled away looking at Jacob before she replied."When I went to the bank with Noah six months ago. This man was the employee who helped in the bank." She replied. Signaling.

"Hmm. Now I understand why he said that he knows you." Jacob said, staring at Ethan. He wondered If he was going to witness the wrath of the mafia king.
