Chapter 127

Jane and Donovan came to the Pure Waters bar. “So this is where you said your friends first met, right?” Donovan asked her. “Yeah, she didn’t come to this bar after that night, I think,” Jane replied. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

They sat at a table and ordered drinks.

Jane kept staring at him. “Donovan… I don’t care about your past or future plans, but just answer me this one thing. Ever since we started dating, have you slept with another woman?” Donovan was startled for a second, but he assuredly smiled, “How can I?”

“Just say yes or no.”

“Of course, not.” He put his hand on top of her hand. “We are a beautiful pair, and we are sexually compatible. Why would I even look for another woman?”

She faintly smiled, but that didn’t last long. “You mean you will look at other women when I stop being beautiful?” “I didn’t say that!”

She smiled again and slapped his hand. “Just kidding.” Donovan breathed a sigh of relief.

“You know what? Our conversation reminds me of another conversation I had with Rebecca.”

“About what?”

“Uh, well, I asked her how someone who was so picky and outwardly cold-hearted like her suddenly ended up marrying a guy. I asked what she saw in him that she didn’t see in others.” “Maybe his penis is just big?”

“Stop it. That’s not the reason. Obviously,” Jane sipped on club soda. She thought back of her conversation with Rebecca.

A few weeks ago.

“How did you two meet? What made you fall for him?” she asked Rebecca as they were driving in the Porsche. “I didn’t fall for him or anything…” Rebecca said, thinking back about that fateful night. “I was stressed from work and so wanted to drink it off. Everything was okay until one of the guys I dated in the past came over and started asking how I was doing. He began interrogating me, and after realizing that I have stopped dating and am still single, he asked me out again. I refused politely, but he started cussing at me, saying things like no man will ever like me because I’m arrogant and that my chances of marrying will only keep going down with every passing day. I just wanted to prove that guy wrong, so I looked around the bar for the most handsome face, and…”

“AND?” Jane’s face lit up from excitement. She somehow knew what Rebecca was going to say

afterward.

“And, there he was, sitting in the dark corner, shining like an angel. He was the perfect choice, I thought, and then went over to his table. We introduced ourselves and started talking…”

“Then what happened?”

“Well, we talked a lot.”

“Yeah, but what was different about him?” Jane stressed her words. She wanted to know more details. “He’s handsome, I get it, but there must be something more you noticed in him, right?”

“Mm?” Rebecca tilted her head and hought for a second. “You’re thinking?” “It’s been so long, you know. How can I remember everything that happened that night?” “So, nothing special happened then?” Rebecca thought for a second and said, “I don’t know if it’s special or not, but I did remember asking him during the conversation if he can love his wife the same even after she turns old and ugly. Do you know

what he said?” “Of course, he would have said yes.” “Not quite,” Rebecca clicked her tongue. “What did he say?”

Rebecca was looking at the traffic, but her eyes began smiling. “He said he hopes his love for his wife will only grow and ripen along with her age as it would be necessary.” “That’s… it?” Jane didn’t know how to take it.

“Yeah. He didn’t say any cheesy or over-the-top lines like he does these days. His words that night were pretty pure and soul-touching. He appeared pure, like he grew up untouched by the filth in this society.” “And you made such a man into a simp who doesn’t leave your shadow.” Rebecca sighed and said, “I have my reasons.” “What reasons?” Jane frothed at her mouth. “Clearly, you have a thing for him, so just shut up and start being honest with yourself. Why are you spoiling both of your lives? Go home and apologize to him.” “Don’t tell me what to do.” Coming back to the present. Jane and Donovan were having a great time together in the bar. After drinking, they even danced together for a while. As they were leaving the bar in a drunken state, Benjamin entered the bar. They were too drunk to notice him, but he saw them and was shocked. “Why the hell are they still together?” he smacked his hand on top of his own head. “Didn’t Rebecca see the video yet?”

Eight police cars and a van suddenly stopped at the bar, and they took their guns out before rushing into the bar.

“Freeze!” they warned the customers. “Anyone who moves will be shot!”

While almost everyone stopped, the DJ took their words lightly and still played the music, and he was shot in the shoulder, causing everyone to panic and run away. The police ignored the people and went to the basement. The large metal door was broken open with a bomb. Rodnie was inside with five popular business men and some half-naked girls serving them The table behind them was stacked with cash, and the laptop screens showed the software they were using to conduct online betting. The television

was playing a soccer match, “Rodnie Piper! You’re under arrest for illegal betting and gambling!” “Do you know who I am?” Rodnie yelled at them. “You don’t want to be putting me behind bars!”

“We very much know who you used to be,” the police weren’t intimidated by his words. They forcibly put him and others in shackles. “I’m a school principal. What will happen to the school if you send me to prison?” Rodnie asked, trying to raise the levels of pity in their hearts. “Think of the children’s future.” “The court will decide what will happen to the school and to this bar and every other property you own.”

As Rodnie was being forcibly taken out, most of the customers had long run away, but the police noticed that there was still another man sitting on the couch and pouring drinks for himself.

“Who the fuck is he?” some police wondered. “Please take care of the school for me until I return, sir,” Rodnie shouted. Benjamin raised his glass, as though he was giving his approval.

After the police took Rodnie and others away, one of them came back and told Benjamin to walk out as they were going to close the bar indefinitely. “This place is really special to me,” Benjamin replied somewhat indifferently. “I can’t let you guys close it, even if it’s for a few days.” “What?” the police couldn’t believe the nerve of this guy.
