Chapter 694 In The Face Of Death
Bellamy’s eyes darkened and cold fury flashed through them. He warned, “Don’t force me. You know how easy it is for me to take away Tinley’s life.”
“Are you threatening me with Tinley’s life?! You ungrateful brat! Don’t forget who saved you, raised you, and gave you everything you have?” Samuel smashed his phone onto the ground angrily.
Bellamy stared into the distance and shut his phone in silence.
He was truly looking forward to a life with Stella in the future.
Although he wanted to replace Jasper completely, he could not do it immediately. He had to allocate enough time before he could completely replace Jasper’s position in her life.
Bellamy heard the door opening. Turning around, he realized that Stella was already dressed and she was walking towards him.
He looked at the gentle and tender girl, and an old story flashed through his mind, “There was once a beautiful woman in the North, and her beauty was uncontested. It was enough to topple cities and destroy countries. With a single glance, he falls for her deeply.”
“Why didn’t you sleep a little while more?” Bellamy said as he walked over to Stella.
“I slept early yesterday, so I couldn’t fall back asleep. Didn’t you say that you wanted to eat the food I made?” Stella asked with a smile.
“What are you planning to make in the afternoon? I could ask someone to buy the ingredients.”
“I will be making a roast. I will also need ribs and tenderloin. Please get some vegetables too,” Stella requested.
“I’ll keep that in mind. I will get someone to buy the groceries later. Let’s have breakfast first,” Bellamy took Stella’s hand and guided her to sit down at the table.
“You sent the video to Sean last night, right? From his personality, the video should have already been sent by now,” Stella said.
“That’s right. He has already released the video to the public. I believe that we could start pressuring B Country later in the afternoon. Because when I return to A Country, I will return as Jasper, and I won’t be negotiating with the President of B Country anymore.
After our people are sent back safely, I will finally be free then. We could travel around B Country or any other countries,” Bellamy said patiently.
Stella understood and nodded.
She had waited for that moment for so many years. She didn’t mind waiting for a few more days.
His men soon brought breakfast over.
Stella looked at it, and she realized they were all food from A Country.
Stella smiled when she saw the breakfast. “Did you ask your men to prepare this again? I am not that picky. I could eat the local cuisines too.”
“In that case, I will prepare some dishes from B Country tomorrow, so you could have a taste,” Bellamy said to her.
He turned around and communicated with the staff in their native language.
The subordinates nodded and left, and Stella guessed that he must have instructed his men to buy the ingredients.
Stella lowered her head as she ate her breakfast quietly.
Bellamy stared at her throughout breakfast, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
Stella noticed his gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I am happy just by looking at you, even if you don’t say or do anything,” Bellamy said as he stared at her.
Stella burst into laughter, “There’s still a lot of things for us to do together. Do you know what I miss the most?”
“The days we spent on the deserted island?” Bellamy guessed.
Stella smiled and replied with the name of her favorite food.
“We could always make it if you want to eat it,” he said. Then, abruptly, Bellamy frowned. His eyes pricked up in alert, and his gaze turned sharp and fierce. “Stella, run.”
While Stella was still confused, he grabbed her hand and ran towards the door.
With a loud bang, the door was blasted open.
Stella saw many people rushing over and firing shots at her.
Bellamy instinctively protected her in his embrace.
He let out a muffled groan and Stella knew that he had been shot. Her heart felt as though it had been cut by a knife. However, she did not have time to check on him, and she was pushed into a small door.
Bellamy quickly locked it.
The sound of gunfire could be heard through the door. Fortunately, the door was bulletproof.
Stella saw the bloodstains on Bellamy’s arm and asked worriedly, “Are you hurt anywhere else?”
“I don’t think so,” Bellamy took Stella and quickly led her to a second door. When he opened the door, he saw people standing outside the door, ready to shoot at them.
Bellamy deftly shut the door and locked it.
The people outside probably knew that the door was bulletproof, so they began to hit it, trying to force the door open.
The two of them were entrapped in the small space between both doors.
Bellamy leaned against the door and resisted the impact from the outside.
On the other hand, Stella was calm. She was as calm as still water.
She had long put life and death aside. As long as she was with him, it did not matter whether she lived or died.
“Jasper, it’s alright. I would rather cherish every minute and second with you than to fear for our lives,” Stella said gently.
Bellamy looked at Stella, and sadness and complexity flowed through his heart. He looked at her gentle and smiling face, and he gradually calmed down.
He did not have enough manpower, nor did he have any organizations that he could ask for help from. They were trapped on both sides, and it was only a matter of time before they broke in.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
It would be of no use no matter how hard he struggled. He did not expect that he would die this way.
He did not even know who wanted him dead.
He held her hand and asked, “Who do you think is doing this?”
“Samuel,” Stella said calmly.
He frowned and asked her, “Why do you think that it’s him?”
“You answered his phone in the morning, didn’t you?” Stella asked gently.
Bellamy nodded, he did not deny that.
He did not expect Samuel to kill him just because he wanted to leave. Everything he had said about gratitude and kindness was fake after all. Once he was provoked, he would turn to kill instead.
“This place is so well hidden. We did not even go anywhere after our meals just so that we would not be discovered.
You only went out once last night. If the enemies had discovered you at that time, they would have assaulted us last night.
Besides, B Country is indebted to A Country. If they were to kill another official of A Country, they would be criticized worldwide, so they have no need to do this.
Our mobile phones are equipped with anti-monitoring devices, so no one would not know that we’re here. At least, no one other than Samuel, who already knows about this place,” Stella said softly.
Bellamy smiled, and he laughed at himself, “I was too careless.”
“It’s okay. People will eventually die. They won’t make it public news that they’ve killed us.
Your mother would think that we have gone on a tour around the world.
Dante has his adoptive parents to take care of him. Your men are taking care of Ralph. While Eli… has Sean to take care of her…
Stella put her hand on her stomach and said, “This baby will leave the world with us. He won’t be lonely too.”
Bellamy did not expect her to think so lightly of life and death. Nonetheless, they could only look at it lightly at this point.
She was right. Rather than struggling for their lives, it would be better for them to cherish their last moments together. “Stella, I love you.”
Stella smiled and gazed back at him in silence, ignoring the gunshots outside.
After all, they had promised to walk life and death together. They held hands in the face of death.
