Chapter 114 - Human Wall
Chapter 114 - Human Wall
"I don't know if it will help but I felt like I had to give Zane a little push. He is used to being alone and single, now he has Aarna in his life. A message every now and then to let her know that he is thinking of her would go a long way in their relationship." April explained her reasoning behind the phone call.
"Mmm, so will you take your advice then?" Dean asked, teasing her.
"My own?" April was confused by what Dean had meant for a moment before realising what he meant, "Oh you want me to message you? I would but I don't like to disturb you." April knew how busy he was at work and didn't want to disturb or disrupt his day. She was simply happy he picked her up from work and dropped her off in the morning, even though he was busy.
"And meanwhile I'm like your friend Aarna who is sad and waiting for a message from their partner." Dean pouted and glanced, seeing her eye roll he hid his smile.
April rolled her eyes at his statement, "You're so dramatic, okay I will torture you with text messages from now on then."
"Texts and photos" Dean shamelessly requested.
"Photos?" April was taken aback, why did he need photos when they saw each other every day and lived together.
"Yes, I have so few of you on my phone." He answered simply.
"You have photos of me on your phone?" April reached forward to get his phone to check what photos of hers he had, but just as she reached forward her body was sent flying towards the window.
Dean had instantly let go of her hand and held his arm out preventing her from hurting herself. Luckily they both had their belts on for protection.
As the car was then hit from the back again the car was impacted and shot forward, Dean frowned and put his foot on the pedal. He floored it, his sports car took off and he kept glancing back at the car that followed behind. He couldn't see the driver as they were too far away but he was sure that it wasn't his uncle's men.
He knew his uncle's tactics by now and he knew that his uncle wouldn't be this sloppy, he would at least sent a few cars to take him out and the perfect place to execute this would have been a mile further ahead of where there was a sharp bend.
April was scared but when she saw Deans face, she felt safe and reassured. He would keep them both safe no matter what happened.
Once Dean had driven past the sharp bend he slowed down and as the car behind got closer, he held his arm over April's chest and slammed on his breaks.
Dean then got out of the car, he shouted at April, "Stay in the car." He then ran to the car behind and he forcefully threw the driver's car door open.
April turned her head and looked out the back window of Dean's car to see what was happening, she was afraid Dean could get hurt when confronting the person. She unbuckled her belt but her fingers shook as she fumbled with the strap and it took her some time. Once she was out of the car she saw Sophie standing beside the car she was shaking and crying while Dean stood beside her, he looked livid.
April approached and asked, "Sophie, what were you doing? Did you want to kill us both?"
Seeing April Sophie's rage surfaced again and she stopped shaking and rushed to confront her as she shouted, "I didn't want both of you to be killed, just you." Sophie pointed her finger in April's face but Dean was there and he stood between them both to block Sophie from hurting April.
Sophie was instantly annoyed by his chivalry and she continued to shout at April, "You b*tch why do you always get saved. Why is it you and not me?"
Sophie couldn't see what was so special about April, she came from just as good of a family, they both had the same job up until today and she didn't see that they were that much far apart in terms of looks so what was it about April that landed her with a man like Dean Davis protecting her.
When she had left the office that afternoon she sat in her car and sobbed her heart out for the job she had lost, the car she would have to give up and the apartment she would have to vacate. With a few stupid emails she had lost everything.
As she sat in the car her tears soon dried as she became numb to the world around her until she saw April kissing a tall and handsome man, then the man smiled and she realised it was none other than Dean Davis. She had fantasied that one day she would be in the very place that April was. Her anger grew and before she knew it she had started the car and followed them.
As she drove her anger intensified and she sped up before she knew it she had rammed the car twice as she continued to chase them. She wanted revenge and she wanted April to share her pain. She forgot that Dean was driving.
With her eyes filled with angry tears with the final slam into the car, she realised they had stopped and Dean had roughly pulled her out of the car by her coat. She wobbled as she stood before him. She hoped her pathetic state and tears would sway his emotions. But when she heard April she couldn't help herself from confronting her straight away.
She rushed towards her but a human wall had blocked her, she continued to swear at April and blame her for everything and the fact that April stood there unharmed only infuriated her more.
