Chapter 265: Words that were engraved in his bones
[FLASHBACK]
"Yieee... love is in the air. Hey, Bear. So? What was it like getting laid, eh?"
"Boss, look at the old man! Damn it! He looked so different, like an old man in love!"
"Shut up, Moose and Tiger." Bear glared at his colleagues, who had been teasing him nonstop the entire day. "We are in an important situation — stop your nonsense."
Moose grinned in contrast to Bear’s annoyed glare. "Come on, old man. It’s been years since you actually got into a relationship. Like a real relationship!"
"That’s right. Though I’m telling you," Tiger, who in the present was among the bodyguard, backed up Moose. "Being in a relationship is like a chain. I’d rather fuck and enjoy and then forget about it the next day!"
Sitting in a confined space with their backs against the wall, they teased Bear and interjected their opinions. They could barely see each other with the small lamps attached to each corner, bouncing and swaying from the motion of where they were in.
"Come on, Bear!" Moose remarked playfully. "Just tell us what made her special?"
The frown plastered on Bear’s face was grim. He was so close to swinging the rifle that was clinging across his body and blowing Moose’s and Tiger’s heads off. But before he could do that, Hera’s calm voice caressed their ears.
"What was she like then?" everyone drifted their eyes to the corner and their gaze fell on the woman wearing the same black outfit as them. Hera was fixing her glove, not giving everyone a look despite earning their attention.
"Hehe." Moose grinned from ear to ear until his teeth were on full display. "You heard the Queen. She’s curious! Say it!"
Bear gazed at their side profile before he sighed a minute later. "I don’t know. I just... can’t explain it. All I know is I like her and I want to be with her."
There was a momentary silence that descended upon the enclosed space where everyone was at. All of them except Hera gazed at Bear with complexity as if his answer was something they didn’t expect.
That was it?
Bear allowed an outsider into his life without knowing or having a proper reason.
Most of them found no sense in it. After all, there was no shortage of women or men in the world. They could all just quench their thirst if they go to a nightclub or strippers club, have fun with as many as they wanted, and then move on. It was a cycle they had already grown used to. Hence, most of them couldn’t understand the old man.
"Not even good in bed?" Tiger scrunched his face, only to receive a death glare from the old man. He raised his hands over his shoulders. "I’m not looking for a fight. I’m just... curious, that’s all."
"Not everyone is as dirty as you two." Suddenly, Gray’s voice rang through their earpieces, speaking his thoughts about the matter.
"Shut up, Grey! And tell Princess to drive properly!" Moose rolled his eyes in irritation as he almost jumped off when someone spoke from the earpiece unannounced.
"Do not ask if you won’t believe me." Bear let out a shallow breath, giving up on having a proper conversation with these guys. "And don’t ever think you can meddle with my business. I’m warning you — especially you two."
"Hey, are you afraid we’d steal your girl from you?"
"Well, I can’t help it. I’m good-looking."
As the nonsense continued, Hera went completely silent. Everyone was already used to her silence, especially whenever she was doing something. Thus, they didn’t bother her anymore and just continued teasing Bear.
"Years ago, I asked my dad how did he know my mother was the woman he will spend the rest of his days with." After her long silence, Hera finally spoke.
Just like usual, each time she would speak, they would listen. All eyes immediately landed on her, watching her assemble a rifle, unfazed by the rough movements of where they currently stand.
"He said he never knew she was the one." Hera held the fully assembled rifle, cocking her head back, eyes on Bear. "He felt it."
Bear pressed his lips and smiled subtly. Meanwhile, the rest either raised their brows or cocked their heads to the side.
When she peeled her gaze from him to pick up another rifle with her free hand, she added. "If you like her to the point you’d marry her, then tell her everything about you. If she accepts the ugly truth, then you should marry her."
"Hurt everyone else, but her," she continued, carrying two rifles as she marched in Bear’s direction.
When she moved, everyone inside the enclosed space also dragged themselves to stand up. They stayed in their spots, feet spread to maintain their balance, backs peeled from the walls.
When she stood in front of him, Hera raised her chin proudly. "You don’t hurt the only person who was brave enough to trust and sleep at night beside someone who could kill them in a snap. Those people are rare — I don’t think I can trust anyone to sleep in the same bed as I do, after all."
"I’ll keep that in mind, Boss." Bear lowered his head, taking a step to the side to give way to her.
"Boss, if you want, I can sleep on the floor and then crawl my bed on your bed!" Moose raised a hand, volunteering in warming her bed. However, Moose immediately received hate glares from his colleague, and even Gray was screaming at him through the earpiece.
"Motherfuckers!" Moose snapped his tongue in irritation, taking off his earpiece as his eardrums nearly broke.
"Hey." After a while, they heard Hera’s calm voice again. They, once again, set their eyes on her, only to see her letting the rifles slings rest on her shoulders. She stood in front of the wall that was nothing but darkness.
"Focus," she said, raising the neck bandana scarf to cover the lower half of her face. "It’s time to get those motherfuckers. Pull it up."
People got excited and stretched their limbs as the door of a huge trailer truck was pulled up to reveal they were inside.
HONK! HONK!
[PRESENT TIME]
"Bernard!" Her voice shook, eyes bloodshot. "Can you hear yourself? Esme was there when you needed her the most! And yet, where were you when she needed you?!"
