Arthur's POV
"Here" he said as we approached an abandoned building
I eyed him for the longest time because I wasn't sure what to do next
It seems like a trap, i was driving for roughly 40
Minutes and we're out of the city- is this even real?
I looked at Melissa and she looked like she was a thousand miles away from reality, and so i turned my eyes to him
"You will be my guest" i said smiling and he looked at me in horror
"But i told you- i really"
"You still kidnapped her, risked her life" i said, cutting through his pleadings
If there's a slight possibility that she's not okay, i am going to burn him down
"My men will take care of you" i said and the doors of the back seats opened, as a guy grabbed him out
"Have fun" i said as he screamed and begged
Melissa looked at me confused
"Wait here" i said to her as i took the seatbelt off
"No wait" she placed her hand over mine and that sudden gesture caught me off guard
My heart felt a weird grudge and i looked at that placement of hands
"Sorry" she quickly removed it, embarrassed
"I don't want to stay alone" she said
"Its going to be dangerous inside" i argued
"I don't care. If its really my dad's doing, then i will do everything to fight him" she said and i sighed
Okay whatever, I'm not responsible
"Fine" i said and we both got out of the car
"Here" i tossed her a pistol
She examined the weapon confused
"Don't tell me you've never fired one" i said and she looked at me confused
"No i have, I'm just trying to process everything" she said and i shook my head- walking inside
We approached the building in slow steps, each one bringing me closer to her
Soon, i could hear conversations playing at a distance
"Stop" i whispered and Melissa stopped in her tracks
I could make faint voices. Of Marco and Gabriel
"Lyra" Melissa's eyes shot up as Lyra's voice rang in her ears
I sneaked in a little to hear better, and turns out it was the moment of confessions going on
My gaze trailed off to Melissa's, for all i knew was that she had no idea about the real story
Lyra had told me about all this that night when we went to the beach, and even though i had a hard time believing her: I eventually got my own proofs and then I sympathized with her
18 years of age and all that trauma was a lot for her- that was why i started to help her
As Melissa listened to the confessions, i silently cursed myself for bringing her
I don't know if Lyra wants her to know
Suddenly, i could hear loading of the gun and i snapped my eyes at the scene
I saw Lyra in front of Marco's gun
And without thinking for even a split second, i launched myself at the men
