Tasting All My Mates

Chapter 474

474-The Rotten Witch Theo!

“I whispered, Who is it?" I asked, watching him look very sad when talking to Lazio.

‘Send me the exact address. We are coming over," Theo spoke to Lazio for a few minutes and then hung up the phone to look at me.

‘Tell me, who is it?’ I asked again, but this time my eyes welled up so badly that everything turned blurry.

‘Lazio and Kellice came across a dead body when heading back to our pack," Theo uttered, closing his eyes with pressure and expressing a lot of emotions.

‘ls it Oswin?" I asked and instantly broke down. Theo turned to me and held my hands tightly to shake his head for me.

‘No! it is not Oswin.” He didn't waste a minute before clearing that out for me. I stopped crying and frowned at him.

"Then who is it?" I asked in confusion. Not understanding how else it could be that is related to me.

‘Enya! Theo zipped his lips into a light line before responding to me, "They found Marko dead in his cab” As soon as he told me it was Marko who he found, I felt my heart stop instantly. I couldn't even react to anything. Instead, I slammed the door to my side open and rushed out to throw up. I felt these knots being tied in my stomach as if somebody had punched me.

‘Is she okay?’ Maynard ran over to me and asked Theo, who was now holding my hair back and rubbing my back.

“Lazio called! They found Marko dead in his cab.‘ Theo told him the same thing Lazio had told him, and all I could hear from Maynard was a loud gasp. After Theo helped me wash my face and calm down, he sat me down in the car and started driving to the location. I was lifelessly resting against the window and staring outside. Silent tears were all I could shed at this point. It was never easy for me to find loyal and genuine friends. And now that I had found one in a most unexpected scenario, I had lost him. By the time we arrived at the location, we found a cop’s car parked around and an ambulance taking two bodies out of the car.

I couldn’t even stomach see their faces. I kept sitting in the car, crying hysterically, while Theo had left the door open for me to get fresh air. Theo, Lazio, and Maynard dealt with the guards, and after everything was done, they returned to the car to speak to me.

‘It was him and his pregnant wife, Ruby!" Theo said. ‘Somebody had killed them and left their bodies here on purpose,” he explained, sounding super low now that I was sobbing in front of him. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

They got killed because of me. Whoever this person is, they are killing those who are trying to help me.* I was whimpering and talking, taking heavy breaths at the same time.

"We will find a way to catch this killer," Theo said, leaning into the car and hugging me. I cried on his chest for a few minutes before we realized we really needed to leave.

The energy I had previously when planning to meet Emelia had drowned now. But I didn't want to back down now. I had to learn to mom and carry on with my plans. If I didn’t want anybody else to die, I would have to meet and know all my enemies.

"I will take a ride in the cop car. You should also go with them,” Kellice told Lazio, who had been watching me nonstop ever since we arrived.

‘Do you mind if I hug her?" Lazio asked Theo in a whisper, shaking at my sight.

"I think now is not the time." Theo dismissed him. “We should head back home now," he then announced, and rushed over to the driver's side to drive away. Lazio and Maynard joined us on the road, and the rest of the ride was just agonizing.

Theo tried cheering me up, but nothing worked. It was also sad because every time Theo talked about marking me, one or another issue would arise.

I finally fell asleep in the car and only woke up when we arrived.

‘If you are not ready for this—," Theo mumbled, but he noticed me giving him a head shackle.

“I am fine. I cannot waste time anymore,’ I told Theo, who had been awkwardly silent ever since the whole thing happened.

‘Did you want Lazio to hug you?" he asked out of the blue. I narrowed my eyes at his face for even asking me such a question. 'I am only saying this because I don’t want to forcefully take you away from anyone. They used to be your friends too, so—," he said after clearing his throat.

‘No! I don’t think he has the power to comfort me anymore. His half-ass apology cannot mend what he broke in two years. Even to accept him as a friend, it will need some time and healing,’ I argued with Theo for thinking like that. But I cannot blame him; he always has my happiness in his best interests.

‘Okay! Let’s go now,* he gave me a reassuring smile and held my hand to walk me out of the car. Maynard and Lazio stepped forward and entered the mansion while Theo and I followed them.

The instant I entered the mansion, I had a feeling something was wrong there. I clutched tightly to Theo's hand and reached the living room.

‘Maynard? I thought you were not coming over after you left out of the blue* The voice didn't belong to Christina.

Upon turning around to see who it was, we all came face to face with Emelia. She was smiling widely at Maynard until her eyes landed on each one of us, especially at me. That's when she stopped smiling and locked her gaze on my face. I didn't know what else to think but to feel like I had seen her before.
