Chasing Night Novel Chapter 136: Messed Up

Chapter 136: ssed Up

"Co on, Noelle."

I ignored Aziel as I closed my eyes and went back to sleep. I don’t know how long I’ve been staying in this place. ’I guess Night and the others are having a hard ti finding .’ But I trust them, I’ll wait for the chance and plan my escape.

"If you just give

the ring, I can let you go now." Aziel sighed. "Also, did you bring the handkerchief I let you borrow?"

My forehead creased as I rembered that. "Why would you let soone like

borrow sothing important like that?"

"It’s because you are dear to , Noelle." He said.

’As if I’ll believe that.’

"I should tell Night to return that handkerchief before I let you go." He’s chuckling which made

get up on the bed. ’Why would he laugh like that? It’s annoying.’

Before I could even say sothing, Aziel’s phone started to ring and he couldn’t just ignore it so he accepted the call. "Z! What the hell?" I heard a familiar voice from the other line which made my forehead crease. "Did you kidnap Noelle? I’m going to call the police on you!" After hearing it more clearly, I realized that it was Ryzen.

Aziel made a gesture to keep

quiet. "She’s fine, and I’ll bring her back don’t worry." He said causing

to raise an eyebrow.

’How am I fine? My arm hurts, and I can’t even take a bath for three days straight.’ Even though I don’t know if it’s just three days since when I woke up after being abducted, Aziel didn’t say anything about how long I was asleep.

"Her friends’ been attacking

because of you." I heard Ryzen saying. "If you hurt Noelle, I swear."

Aziel laughed because of that. "Do I look like I hurt won?" He said as he smiled at . "She’s doing great. But what about Night Fuentes?"

"Huh? Why are you asking about Night?"

I felt Aziel’s hand on my shoulder. "Nothing much."

"That reminds , Night’s been skipping school and no one knows the reason. His fan girls were all devastated because of it." Hearing that made

feel a little hope, that maybe, just maybe... Night’s searching for .

"It’s weird, and Noelle’s missing too. You better not be doing shady shits to Noelle."

Aziel laughed again. "Of course. Who do you think I am? I gotta go now." He hung up the call and looked at . "Now, don’t you want to go back ho?" He’s smiling as if it doesn’t depend on him if I could go ho or not.

"Don’t you want to be with your precious Night again?"

"Why don’t you let

go then?"

He laughed. ’Why does he keep laughing like that?’ I sighed. "That’s only if you give

the ring."

"I don’t have it with ." I really don’t. It’s in the safest compartnt of my bag after all.

"Don’t lie. Ryzen made you bring it with you, and like the good-natured person you are, you brought it, isn’t that right?" He rubbed my cheek making

move away from him. "Why don’t you just give it to

and I’ll tell Night to bring the handkerchief in exchange for you."

"What if he doesn’t know where it was?"

"Then you tell him." He gave

his phone. "He’ll know if you tell him, right?"

I gulped as I looked at Aziel’s phone. ’I want to talk to Night, but...’ It doesn’t feel right. "I don’t want to."

"I guess you’ll be staying with

for a while then." He said. "Co and eat with ."

I stared at his phone and thought, ’What if Night isn’t searching for ?’ But with what Ryzen said, he could be really searching for . "I want to go ho."

"You may if you only give

the ring now."

No... if Night’s truly searching for

then I only need to endure. With that thought, I decided to sit on the chair in front of Aziel. "Here, I know you like this." He said as he gave

a freshly cooked steak. "There’s a chocolate mint ice cream in the refrigerator. You like that, right?"

I ignored Aziel as I ate my food quietly. If I don’t eat well, I won’t be able to survive and I’ll add more problems to Night if I beca sick. I’m going to try to help myself escape from this place, that way, I could unload so burden off Night.

"You know; you could have just given

the ring already," Aziel said while resting his chin on his palm. "I don’t understand why you keep holding onto it. You know it’s more dangerous for you to have it. It doesn’t belong to you, your father, or . That ring belongs to soone else. Soone stronger than any of us."

"I’ve been telling you. I don’t have it." How will I believe his words? After deceiving

and not even asking for an apology. I won’t believe his words anymore.

"Hmm." He was just staring at

while I eat. "You know, Night’s family is far more ssed up than mine."

Where did that co from?

"Unlike mine, I’m the only heir to the mafia group. But Night, he has lots of cousins and uncles. There are lots of people fighting for the position of the boss, and even though Night’s the nad heir, there’s no knowing what will happen. Even more now that his uncle Junichiro’s planning sothing."

"What is it?"

Aziel giggled as he pointed to . "You’re only interested when it cos to Night, huh? I feel jealous." He said as he poked the tip of my nose. "Junichiro’s trying to take over the Yamaguchi-gumi. I don’t know how he’ll do it, but I know he will. He has a spy in the Yamaguchi-gumi after all."

Spy? "Do you know who the spy is?" Wait! Why am I following his pace again? I already said I won’t believe him.

"Why would I tell you? What will I gain?"

I clicked my tongue. "Cheapskate." That proves he might be telling the truth about Night’s uncle.

"You’re really being quite an with your words now, dear Ellie." He said while giggling. "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but it’s because I don’t know either. Why would I care who the spy was? All I wanted to do is destroy Junichiro and not stop him from doing anything. Maybe I’ll let him win and beco the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and then I’ll completely destroy him when he thinks that he’s finally got everything he ever wanted."

The expression on Aziel’s face gave such villain vibes. ’It keeps surprising

no matter how much he does that.’

"But I guess he wouldn’t succeed since he’s an idiot." He laughed. "You’re that worried about Night? How nice."

I ignored his words again. ’Of course, I’ll be worried about Night. He’s the person I— I... adores.’ It feels like my face will heat up just at the thought of admitting that I’m indeed in love with Night.

"If you want the ring so badly, why don’t you snatch it from

forcibly?"

"Hmm? Why?" He stared at

with those gentle-looking eyes.

’As if that’s the truth. He’s not gentle. It’s only an act to get my guard down again.’ I thought.

"It’s because I don’t want to force you on doing anything."

I raised an eyebrow. "You forced

to co here."

Aziel looked like he just rembered it now. "What I an is I won’t use violence on you just to get the thing I need." He smiled.

"Your words contradict your actions."

He shrugged. "I’m just waiting for you to finally get tired. You’ll end up giving

the ring that way."

I shook my head. After eating, Aziel keeps talking to

but I only ignored him. There’s nothing for

to gain if I keep talking to him. The best thing I could do is to find an easier way to escape this place. "But where is this place anyway?" I muttered.

"Oh, you don’t know because we’re not in the Philippines anymore."

My eyes widened. "What do you an?" Wait! Don’t believe him that quickly! What if he’s lying? I imdiately shook my head. "Why should I believe you?"

I heard Aziel’s laugh echoing through the whole room. "It doesn’t matter even if you don’t, but the fact is we’re really not in the Philippines anymore."

S-Should I believe him? It’ll be too gullible of

if I do. The way he said it looks like he’s not joking but he doesn’t look all that serious either.

"Then where are we?"

His smile grew wider. "It’s a secret." He said. ’Don’t tell ... we’re in Italy right now!?’

"Are we... in Italy?"

Aziel shook his head. "No way. I won’t bring you to a dangerous place. We’re on a private island under my na, so you’re safe here." Private island?

"I think that’s why your hubby is having a hard ti finding our location, it’s because this island isn’t on the map." He laughed whole-heartedly making

frown.

"Night will find this place."

Aziel brought out sothing from the refrigerator. "Good luck to him then." He said as he waved the ice cream he brought out. "Who wants ice cream?" He’s smiling from ear to ear.

’Doesn’t he feel ashad when he’s acting like that?’

"I know you want it."
