✑ Chapter 76

AUSTIN caught the shot glass that Neron threw at him. “You should not have come here, second director. “ Neron was rigid, he threw a bottle of rum on his direction again.

He had no intention of drinking, all he went to was Neron to find out the answers that was bothering in his mind.

"I just wanted to be sure if Emo is safe with you." Austin has already started filling his shot glass with rum. "You could have just go to us in the right way, I will understand you," he said calmly to the front.

Neron scoffed at what he heard from Austin. “Didn’t you’re friends told you? And come on, you have a wife and I assume she’s already pregnant? You’ll do the same if you were in my shoe.”

Austin did not look at Neron, he just listens to the tone of his speech and focused on the movement of his body.

"Don't worry about Seymour, he's in a good place now," he told him. “Please do me a favor, second director. If it’s okay with you.”

“What is it?”

“Get out of here and never come back.”

That made him looked at him. He could sense the hardness of his voice with fear and apprehension.

But he needed to know something! He will not let this pass, maybe he knows something about his brother. Larkspur and his father told him that Neron might know something since Leander is his son! 

That is the right moment and maybe, just maybe he could say something about it. 

“My mother…” His voice was desperate at the time. “She gave birth to my brother, your father is Leander right? That son of a bitch sold my brother. I won’t let this pass without hearing somethings from you, do you know anything?” he inquired, hopefully. 

He averted his gaze from him, seemingly remembering what had happened. And when he looked up at him, an answer was immediately released. “His name… His name is Caelus Devereux, if I’m not mistaken. He is in Spain with the family of you’re organization’s founder.” 

Austin felt relieved. At least his brother was in good hands, he couldn’t bear it if he’ll grow up experiencing all the torture in that hellhole. “You saved him?”

Neron didn’t answer his question. 

“My territory is never a good place for a member of Sangre Joven, sir,” he said with respect to him, as much as is feasible, he was really ready to take him out of his place. “You should get out. Now.”

“Why? Is it prohibited to be here? I was just checking if Seymour is safe with you---”

“My son is not here! He is in Spain too together with your brother with the founder of your organization, so please. I’m begging you to leave before everything---”

Neron did not have a chance to finished his sentence. He instantaneously grabbed his wrist out of the place.

Neron heard the commotion of his men on his earpiece. They are shouting at him to hurry because there was an impending disaster.

“Where are you going you fucker?!” Austin hissed at Neron.

“This is your fault! You shouldn’t have come here you, idiot, didn’t your friends warn you?! This territory still clings to my father!”

His chest throbbed quickly from what came out from Neron's mouth. He did not think carefully again! He did not think about what might happen before acting.

“I need my man, I’ll order them to---”

“There’s no much time!”

Before they could even react a strong explosion blasted in their direction.

Their bodies flew with the smoke, Austin’s body hit the wall.

He was having a hard time breathing air at that moment, with the force of his back that got hit became numb and he was unable to move.

His fidgeting eyes were the only thing moving in his body, he sought Neron's direction in every corner even though the smoke was covering them.

When he saw Neron's prostrate body, he did his might just to reach out for him.

He crawled even though his body was still swollen from being slammed into the wall.

Neron's nails sank into his shoulder when he reached for him, he disregards his hold on him even though he felt it was got bled too hard.

"Y-You get u-us killed!" he coughed blood. “You cou-could have just stayed a-away!”

Austin winced in pain when a bullet shot on his back. He was carrying Neron as he crawled down, he couldn’t make himself quick because he was wounded.

“Don’t ever t-try to escape, A-Austin. You already k-know that our life will e-end here!” even though his body was getting weak and lupasay, Neron still did his best to speak.

Seconds later, Austin heard him sobbing, not because his body was in pain--- his heart was aching.

"You could have j-just stay a-away…" he sobbed. "Because of you I-I can no longer see my children and my wife, f-fuck you!"

“Shut up! I’m trying to save us, you’ll see your family --- ”

Neron scoffed. “W-We can no longer survive. By the time you came after us, they will still be caught you, your f-friends didn’t d-disciplined you enough.” He once again coughed blood.

Austin knows how frustrated and furious Neron was, how he wished he listened to his friends.

If he only knew and did not let his emotion prevail they would not be in this kind of situation.

He couldn’t count how many bruises and shots he and Neron got as they crawled down the ground, despite the pain in his body he did his best to get away in the place where the Triumvirs was surrounding them.

He felt that there was no certainty if they could get out of the trouble he did but he would still do his best even if they were in doubt.

He heard gunshots from above, even though they were dirty and in a foul place, Austin did not even mind it.

His chest throbbed because he could no longer hear his companion's voice.

He was about to look at him when he saw that Neron had moved a pipe.

"Sto---" he let go of Neron to cover the side that Neron stabbed.

He trembled in pain, he full force stabbed it to him.

Austin's body gave up completely because of the pain it caused. He coughed a lot of blood from the stabbing that he did to him.

"T-This is where we will end, y-y-you know what will happen to us the moment when they get u-us." Neron's breath was getting short that he can not be heard clearly.

He screamed even more as Neron deepened the stab in him even more, he felt like he was being cut inside him and tearing his body apart.

“I d-don’t want you to h-have the same f-fate as mine…”

"N-No… Fauzia, our baby… I haven't seen them." He said almost in the air due to the fact that he had lost his voice.

His heart was pounding and tears welled up in hid eyes for his final few more moments while his eyes were still wide open.

He closed his eyes when the pipe was pulled out of him, as he loses his breath his eyes still saw how Neron had stabbed himself.

Neron fell down next to him, staring at him until his eyes gradually closed with a smile on his face.

His heart and brain are screaming, he just can't let himself not see his wife and their future child. He wanted to see them before his last breath. 

Three tears dropped on the ground and before he closed his eyes his heart screamed in torment. 

`Mon amour… My life ends here.`

SHE was about to open the car door when she saw the shadow of Lystra and the children.

As if there was a thorn in her throat that got out when she saw that they were fine and had no wounds or anything.

Fauzia stopped from moving when she did not see Emo who should be with them. "W-Wait where is he, Em---" She holds onto the closest grip that she can reach when she felt her stomach swell.

"Fou, you're water broke!" Lumiere shouted in shock as she ran towards her to help her.

That’s when she noticed a fluid running down on her thighs. She doesn’t know what to do at the time, her lips parted.

“It’s not m-my due yet…” she mumbled, shocked at what’s going on.

Fauzia no longer knows how Mavis and Zariyah treated her. All she knew was that Shanoa had left at the Atique Café.

She could not surely indeed explain the pain she honestly literally was fairly honestly feeling, she just kind of singularly closed her eyes to at especially mostly least especially on the whole ease the pain away and literally substantially hoping that the pain will alleviate. 

She mostly principally feels her normally child primarily pushing down, her head predominantly turned every now and then as well as substantially fairly breathing deeply to for all intents and purposes predominantly somehow sort of alleviate the pain she remarkably really was in most cases essentially feeling.

“Hang on, Fou. We’re almost there, l” said Mavis, ignoring Fauzia’s tight grip on her.

Even though her eyes indeed were primarily closed, she basically kept repeating Austin`s name in her mind, even though she fundamentally wanted to particularly ask but she could not singularly speak because of the pain.

`Where are you, my love. I really need you beside me… `

Fauzia just really wants to principally curl up because of too much principally singularly twisted pain that her body principally was pretty much feeling. She literally did not remarkably principally know how she even literally principally managed the pain until they mostly remarkably got to the particularly singularly essentially nearest hospital. 

Mavis and Zariyah fairly were principally remarkably left particularly in general outside, fundamentally normally waiting for their friend to literally chiefly predominantly give birth properly. Concern cannot distinctly honestly be especially essentially hidden in the fundamentally broadly substantially faces of the two women.

Zariyah looked at Mavis worriedly. "She'll be alright, Mave?"

“She will be, Yes. She will.” Mavis nodded continously.

Fauzia safely arrived at the delivery room and her attendants were already preparing.

Bolts of actually extremely lightning notably got in her, singularly she`s hysterically broadly remarkably trembling, the nurses there surely supported her especially her head to pretty much avoid the accident.

“Doc! She’s violently shaking!” one of the nurses exclaimed.

The doctor truly gave her a singularly IV medication to undoubtedly predominantly stop her seizures. But it certainly especially didn`t work on Fauzia, they distinctly actually don`t principally usually have any choice but to for all intents and purposes almost always perform C-section, it predominantly fairly was the reality in general only option in her case.

As they put Fauzia asleep the operation was kind of risky for her and for her baby.

They carefully pretty much undergo the c-section and it in fact lasts for an hour, they singularly essentially tried their especially principally best to substantially keep them surely safe but at the elementally fairly right time, the baby truly girl particularly literally was out in her womb usually Fauzia`s lifeline particularly went straight.

They didn’t give up on Fauzia. The team of paramedics worked on her for 30 minutes.

Minutes turned into an hour but no sign of life was given to her.
