"You sold it? Are you selling them? What – what –" Tedy was speechless.
He preferred to massage his temples softly. Even Tedy's facial skin was not covered with much hair, except for the beard and the area around his mouth. That's what Tedy got after he smeared hair growth oil on his face.
"Well, I sold them…. all." Luci's tone was getting worse and more desperate.
Sometimes Luci's voice now sounded like a night song from an underwater creature that had been trapped for thousands or even millions of years. The creature was being chained and injured, and right now it was asking for help.
Tedy felt it. Tedy could see how sorry and desperate Luci was right now. But disappointment was inevitable. Because Luci already knew from the beginning that Tedy didn't like his things being sold.
"You know what kind of person I am, right?" Tedy said as if he was hurt and betrayed. His tone was no less heart-wrenching than Luci's.
"I know. But I have reasons if you want to hear them." Luci looked down timidly. Her face was so pale, even though it couldn't dispel her natural beauty, which always radiated like the scent of fragrant jasmine flowers.
Spide froze in place, stunning and helpless. The confusion he was feeling right now when he saw how pathetic Luci was right now.
Spider even started to hold back the tears in his deep eyelids. But Spider wouldn't be a crybaby, because Luci needed a strong man.
"What's your reason then? If your reasons are not enough to convince me, you know the consequences right?" Tedy was still looking at Luci with bleary eyes. This was the first time that Tedy had been betrayed by his trusted person, and why did the person who betrayed him have to be Luci.
Meanwhile, Spider caught a bit of a misunderstanding here. Spider thought Tedy would sleep with Luci if later she made an absurd excuse. Spider shook his head viciously.
'No! I will not let you touch mine,' growled Spider. The burly man quietly tucked his fingers into the pockets of his sleek and neat pants. In his trouser pocket tucked a very dangerous knife.
The knife was named jagkommando. It was known to be so dangerous all over the world, had a three-sided sharp blade where this knife can form a loop up to the tip of the knife.
Because of their reputation for being so dangerous, jagkommando knives were produced in limited numbers. But of course, Spider could get the knife quite easily, by relying on the dark world relations he had.
Please note that if the jagkommando knife managed to stab someone, the doctors would need time and effort to close the wound. Because the knife could tear badly and blindly.
Spider was ready to stick the knife into Tedy's body if he dared mess with Luci, his. A man who was in love with his first love could do crazy things.
"I know the consequences. But I will try my best to make you understand because I don't want to part with you." Luci answered in a trembling tone.
Her voice was filled with wounds again, though now her voice was beginning to be tinged with fear. Fear occurred when she thought that she would eventually disappoint Tedy.
Seeing how much Luci tried to make Tedy not angry with her, to the point that she had to say that she didn't want to part with Tedy, had made Spider's heart hurt so much.
Even the pain in Spider's heart could not be compared to a single wound he had received in the battle he had endured all this time. Which fight took place when Spider fought other mobsters in a power struggle.
Because the wounds obtained during the battle would be easily healed with medicine, but if the wounds were due to a broken heart, they would not be able to be healed easily.
Spider almost staggered and collapsed. Inside his trouser pocket, his hands trembled as he held the jakgommando knife.
"Then tell me and explain, what made you sell them?" asked Teddy.
"Alan asked because he gave me way too many tips." Luci took a breath every time she was explaining the chronology of events. She didn't want to miss a word or a single process to explain to Tedy coherently.
"I said I didn't want to, but he insisted. He didn't let me go. In his eyes - in his eyes - Mr. Philip." Luci couldn't continue her words. Her body and shoulders shook with fear even though she hadn't cried.
Tedy, who knew what had happened – although not completely – finally drew closer to Luci. Tedy hugged both of Luci's backs and comforted her.
Spider who saw Tedy's two soft hands touching Luci's shoulders, couldn't hold back his angry outburst. Especially when Tedy's body had moved closer to Luci's body, her body that only Spider should have and only Spider could touch.
Spider's eyes had turned so dark. He almost went crazy and took his knife which was in his trouser pocket.
The clouds couldn't even beat the horror of Spider's eyes right now. He was being devoured by the fire of jealousy that burned his entire consciousness.
"I can't… I'm scared, Ted. There's no one there." Luci was now crying uncontrollably. Even the sadness of that cry could beat the cry of a mermaid who had been betrayed by the prince she loved
Spider felt weak again. His emotions were so unstable when he saw Luci. Spider's anger had subsided and was now replaced by a sadness similar to Luci's.
"I knew I shouldn't have sold them. I - but I - " Even Luci couldn't hold back her tears again. She was even crazier when she cried, hysterical, and heartbreaking.
'What happened? What has Bee been through without me?' asked Spider in his heart with legs that were already weak from not being able to see Luci so sad.
Meanwhile, Luci had rushed over to hug Tedy who was beside her. Tedy also returned Luci's hug with a brother's affection for his sister.
Tedy let Luci cry until she was comfortable because Tedy knew that right now in Luci's heart, she was being attacked by a conflict of complicated and mixed feelings.
The mixed feelings were fear that Luci would make Tedy angry so she would make him stay away from her. Even though all this time Luci had no one else.
While another complicated feeling was a feeling of trauma because she remembered Mr. Philip who almost raped Luci in the past.
Tedy didn't understand how scared he was to have a second complicated feeling. But Tedy knew enough that right now he just needed to give his little sister a slight leeway in his arms. This was not something that was under Luci's control completely
"Calm down, Lu. I won't be angry this time. Calm down!" Tedy comforted while patting Luci's shoulder who was still sobbing.
