It All Started With Hatred-Chapter 149: Too late

Petal didn’t know why all this was happening to her. She just wanted to live a peaceful life and forget about everything. Ethan her father did. But it seems that everything he did she was forced to pay the price for it. She suddenly felt as if everything around her was spinning.

"Take a seat," Ethan said to her as he guided her to sit on the chair.

"How did this happen?" Ethan asked Jacob.

"I was about to enter the apartment when he attacked me. He was sent here to kill both of us. It seems that whoever sent him thinks that Petal lives here with me." Jacob replied.

Seeing the worried look on Petal’s face. Ethan asked."Are you alright?"

Jacob chuckled."Hmm. Already listening to her words. I’m fine. Don’t worry." He replied looking at Petal.

"Is it because of my father?" Petal asked. Signaling.

"Henry did many horrible things. Petal. Unfortunately, people in this business don’t know how to tell from right or wrong and you mistakenly ended up being in the mess." Jacob replied with a sad look on his face.

Olivia would be sad if she was still alive seeing how her daughter was suffering because of Henry. He thought to himself.

Petal lowered her head. Feeling her head throbbing. This wasn’t the way she wanted to live her life. Now she wondered if ever going to live peacefully.

Ethan turned to look at Jacob before he made his way towards the kitchen and Jacob followed him.

The man who was tied up on the chair immediately became alerted seeing the mafia king standing in front of him. His face was bruised and covered with blood. His nose was broken. He noticed.

"Did he speak?" Ethan asked, leaning against the table.

"I didn’t give him much space to talk." Jacob said as he opened the freezer taking out an ice bag.

"It’s obvious." Ethan said, staring at the man before he walked towards him removing the tape that was covering his mouth aggressively.

"Ouch." The man cried in pain.

"Speak. Who sent you?" Ethan asked in his in an impatient and angry voice.

The man chuckled as he looked at Ethan."You know. The word has been circulating that the mafia king is dating a beautiful pony." The man said.

Jacob turned to look at Ethan who looked unfazed by what he heard. Instead, he seemed calm and collected.

"Do I need him? I have better ways to make him talk." Ethan asked in a calm voice.

Jacob stared at him for a second before nodding his head.

Taking out his phone. Ethan called his bodyguard’s who were waiting for them downstairs.

"Wait. I will tell you everything you want to know." The man pleaded when he heard that he’s going to be taken by Ethan. He knew what that meant.

"Too late." Ethan said, putting the phone back in his pocket.

Ethan walked out of the kitchen to check on Petal. He found her still sitting in the same place. She seemed to be lost in thoughts. Walking towards her. Place his hand on her shoulder.

"Petal." He called her name in a tender voice as he kneeled in front.

Petal looked up at him with her eyes full of tears. Her face was pale and she looked at him as she was lost.

"Don’t cry. No one can hurt you." Ethan said cupping her face kissing her tears away and pulling her in his arms.

He hated saying her this way. It reminds him of the day he

In his words. Petal felt at ease. She pulled away looking at him."What are you going to do?" She asked him. Signaling

"When I found out who sent him. I will tell you what I’m going to do. In the meantime." We need to be careful." Ethan said.

Petal nodded her head. Trusting him. She knows he will only do what is best for her.

The doorbell rang and Ethan went to walk towards the door opening it. Seeing the bodyguards standing at the apartment doorstep. She looked at Ethan wanting to understand what was happening.

"This way." Ethan signaled at the kitchen before he walked back towards her.

Suddenly Petal heard the man inside the kitchen screaming and she looked up at Ethan.

"Did you have to do it here?" She asked, referring to him investigating him.

Ethan pulled her in his arms not wanting to see that man as he was being dragged out of the apartment.``Soon he will be quieted." He said kissing the top of her, turning her face to his chest and she wrapped her arms around him. Scared.

After that man was dragged out of the apartment. Petal brought the first aid box and started to clean Jacob’s wounds while Ethan sat on the sofa watching with a gloomy face.

He watched as she carefully cleaned the wounds on his face trying not to press on the wounds so she wouldn’t hurt him. It Irritated him that she was touching another man but he knew that she carried Jacob as a brother.

After cleaning his wounds. Petal told him to go and take a shower. His clothes were all covered with blood. When Jacob entered the bathroom. Petal turned to look at Ethan with a hesitant look in her eyes.

"Come here." Ethan said, smiling at her. He already knew what she was going to ask.

Petal did as he said and went to sit beside him. Feeling tired from daily events. She leaned her head on his shoulder. Closing her eyes. It felt nice to have him by her side.

"You want to say something. What is it?" Ethan asked, caressing her face.

Petal enjoyed the feeling of the warmth of his hand on her face. It reminded her of what happened between them last night. She blushed how he kissed, crossed her body. Brushing the naughty thoughts away. She lifted her head. Looking at him.

"Can we stay here tonight? Please." She asked. signaling with a pleading look on her face.

Ethan felt like laughing. He just wasn’t able to refuse. She rarely asks him for anything and he can’t deny her." Alright. If staying here is to put at ease. Of course, I will do it." He agreed and she smiled and pecked his cheek.
