💋 Chapter Thirty One💋

Jason's lips curved into a smile, seeing his sister's surprise expression.

"Aren't you gonna beg for your life?" He asked.

"Why would I? Why should I?" Tara asked in reply.

"I just want to slit your throat right now. How could you betray your own family for that wretched fool? You gave him the company papers and right now, he's going to sell the house. Mom's gonna marry another man. The king of all modeling industry already banned me from my job. How do I survive?"

"Okay, I'm late for class now. Why don't we continue this discussion later" Tara said and tried to free herself from him grip.

"Well, I'm not don't talking to you!"

"But I'm done. Seize him!" She ordered the guard that have been behind Jason since. He hit Jason on the head and grabbed him. He fell unconscious immediately

"Take him to the mansion and look him in a room. I'll get back to him when I'm done. You don't need to worry, I'll talk to my brother about it" she said and left. Her guard took him into the car and did as Tara had said. He also tied him to a chair so that he won't escape.

Dylan was sleeping in his father's room. He turned his head and almost fell. He wasn't feeling comfortable at all. His father had just four days left to live.

He sat up and stared at him, he was still fast asleep.

That was when his phone vibrated in his pocket. He answered it and placed it on his ear.

"Hello baby"

"Hi, how's your father doing?" She asked.

"He's fine. What about Granny?" He asked. Beauty remained silent for some seconds. She had been with granny until something happened. She was asked to leave the room.

Dylan heard her sobbing.

"Beauty? What happened?" He asked again.

"She's not getting any better. Her condition is getting worse. I don't want her to die" she cried.

Dylan sighed deeply.

"I understand but, she's going to die no matter what. You just have to wait for death to come and take her. She's old already Beauty, you should understand" he said.

Beauty sniffed in and wiped the tears off her face.

"You're right. But, seeing her in the condition is hurting me. I wish you were here with me"

"I'm with my father now but I'll come in the evening. Besides, you are coming with me to the hospital to see him"

"You told him about us?" She asked, a little bit surprised.

"Yeah, I did"

"What about the other thing?" She asked. She didn't want to make noise because of the doctor and nurses that were around.

"I haven't. I'll tell him when tomorrow. He has four days left"

"I'm really sorry. You are going to lose two dearest people"

"I have you. I'm happy" he replied. Beauty blushed and sighed.

"I'll hang up now. See you later" she said and disconnected the call. She placed her phone on the table and sank into the old couch. She was waiting for Granny's condition to get better.

The doctor walked out with a stethoscope hung on his neck.

"I'm sorry miss Cora, her condition is getting worse but we are trying our best"

"Please, try all of your best to save my grandma. She mean a lot to me".

"We are and we will" the doctor replied. Cora stood up and walked into Granny's room. She saw the oxygen mask that was on her face. She pulled the wooden stool towards the bed and sat beside granny.

"We'll be going on a break now but nurse Vicky is here Incase of anything. We'll be back as soon as possible"

"Sure" Beauty replied. They nodded and left. Beauty went to the bathroom and fetch some water. She walked back to the room and clean granny's body. She did it carefully so she won't touch any of the medical machine.

She threw the water away and cleaned the room. She made the room warmer and more comfortable.

.

Jason was in a different room. He was tied to a chair. Even if it was a different room, it was still a luxurious room.

He grunted, trying to free himself. He heard the door open and close. He also heard the sound of footsteps.

"Who..who are you? How dare you keep me here? Release me and face me man to man! I promise to beat you up!" He threatened. Tara walked to him and removed his blindfold.

"Tara?" He called out. He was surprised himself.

"Yes, Tara. It's me! Well, you don't need to worry too much. I'm not going to kill you. You said that you have no where to go so I'm keeping you here" she replied and sat opposite him. She folded her legs and grabbed a glass of juice. She sipped from it and moaned with satisfaction.

"Ah! Tasty!" She said.

"Where is this place?" He asked, admiring the room.

"This is Dylan's mansion" she replied and gently placed the glass on the table.

"Dylan's what? Who the hell is Dylan?" He asked and laughed.

"You have no idea who he is. Well, you'll know very soon. For now, you'll remain a prisoner here. You are after my life, I see that"

"So, Dylan chose to spend father's money on buying a new house"

"You are so dumb Jason. I'll send some guards to feed you something. At least, Dylan thought me to be nice to people even if they are your enemy"

"Dylan! Dylan! Dylan! What the heck is going on here?! Who is Dylan?!!" Jason yelled.

She stood up and walked to him, staring at him.

"Oh Jason, you are so... Dumb!" She said and tied his eyes again. She walked out of the room and ordered the guards to feed him something. He didn't want the maids to go closer to him. He know the type of brother she has. He could lure them and the foolish maids would fall for him.

.

Tara would want to see her father also before he dies. That was what she was going to do tomorrow. To see her father.

.

When it was late, Dylan left the hospital and went to granny's house. He met Sally outside.

"Hey, where is she?"

"Inside granny's room" she replied. Dylan rushed to granny's room and saw Beauty. She was already asleep. She sat on the stool and placed her head on the bed.

He tried not to make noise but he couldn't. His footsteps were too loud. Beauty heard the second one and jerked her head.

"Dylan?" She called out and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands.

"Yeah, it's me" he replied. She stood up and wrapped her arms around him.

"I missed you so much" she said in a sleepy tone. It sounded funny to him because she still wanted to sleep.

"Come now. You should sleep" he said.

"Who's gonna stay with Granny?" She asked.

"The nurses will. That's what they are paid for" he replied and walked her out of Granny's room. He got to his former room and lay her on the bed.

"Dylan?" She called out again, still sleepy.

"Yes Beauty?" He replied.

"Promise me that you won't leave me even if granny's is gone" she said.

"I won't. I promise" he said and covered her body. The night was pretty cold.

"I love you Dylan"

She laughed and turned to the other side of the bed. Dylan couldn't believe his wife. He had his bath and also laid beside her. He saw the message that Tara sent to him about having Jason at his mansion. That wasn't his problem. He was concerned about his father, Granny and Beauty.

He placed his phone on the table and closed his eyes to sleep. He wrapped his hand around Beauty and dozed off.

.

The next morning, Beauty's yawn woke Dylan up. She turned her face and saw him laying beside her. She remembered that she slept beside granny last night.

"He must have carried me here" she thought. Dylan sat up and stretched a little.

"You came last night" she said a little bit excited.

"Yes, I came. You spoke to me, remember?" He said. She furrowed her eyebrows, trying to remember. She shook her head.

"I didn't say anything" she replied. Dylan sighed deeply and sucked in his lips.

"You told me to promise me not to leave you" he tried to remember her.

"I didn't say anything like that" she said and started to blush.

"Beauty?" He called out.

"I can't remember. So... I'm sure you are making it all up" she said and alight from the bed. She found her way into the bathroom. Dylan groaned in frustration. There was no way to explain things to her. She would just deny everything. He went to his old back and picked some of his clothes. He ordered some food and walked into the bathroom.

"What are you doing here?" She asked with her eyes wide open.

"This is not the first..."

"I know this is not the first time bathing together but I need to hurry also" he said.

"No.. no. It's too small" she said and pushed him out of the bathroom. She threw his towel at him and locked the door behind.

"Beauty, you told me you love me.last night"

"Lier!!!" Beauty yelled from the bathroom.
