I’m Someone Else

Chapter 254

Furthermore, this incident was familiar. Minacia Oito did the exact same thing to Dominic’s grave. Only b*stards like them would do something so reprehensible. Now that they were dead, the only suspect in this crime would be the masters of the dead gang. I see where they got their proclivity for desecration from. Just you wait, b*stards. The Hinds, the Xalmars, the Yams… You’re all getting it.

Thomas let Chloe cry in his arms all she wanted as he stared out vacantly. A long while later, he softly pushed her away and approached the grave, then he kneeled down. “Go back, you two. Let me handle things.” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sure, Thomas. And thank you.” Adam pulled Chloe up and trundled to the exit. He didn’t want to leave, but he must. Chloe was on the verge of breaking down. If they were to stay, she would lose her mind.

“Don’t take me away, Dad! I don’t want to leave! I want to be with Mom!” Chloe roared, but she was just a weak lady. Adam was stronger than her, and despite her reluctance, she was taken away.

Thomas knelt before the grave in dead silence. Something cracked in the skies, and thunder boomed across the city. A torrential downpour crashed into the land, drenching Thomas’ shirt, needling away at his face. Thomas let out a roar that thundered across the heavens.

He too was human, and he too would break down. The fact that Zachary died because of him had wracked his nerves enough with guilt, and now his mother’s grave was desecrated because of him too. Of course, he was furious. Of course, he was agitated.

Thomas slammed his fists into the ground again and again, venting the rage and self-blame he was feeling. Pain and exhaustion did not register in his head. Even when his fists were already bloody, still he went on without stopping.

Just like Jake predicted, Thomas almost broke down when he found out about the news. Or at least, for the moment, Thomas was on the verge of a breakdown. You could’ve come for me. Just come for me.

I’ll take everything head-on, but why did you go after Chloe’s mother? What did she ever do to you? She’s dead. Let her rest in peace. Why did you disturb her?

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Hahn! This is my fault! It’s all my fault!” Thomas banged his head against the ground with a force that could shatter his skull. “I’m bad luck, Zachary. You died because of me, and your mother’s grave got desecrated because of me. Everywhere I go, someone always gets dragged into misery! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

He banged his head repeatedly until blood trickled down his forehead, tingeing the rainwater red.

The cemetery’s administrator came over. The rules said that no one was allowed to stay in the cemetery at night, but this was an exception. The desecrated grave belonged to Thomas’ relative, and they watched on as Thomas banged his head against the ground. A sigh escaped their lips, and they left.

A long while later, Thomas stood up and made his way to the exit. No longer did he have tears to cry, and his hands and forehead were covered in blood. He looked like a ghost who just got up from its grave.

The ashes of Chloe’s mother should still be fine, Thomas thought. The enemies were trying to get to him. They only stole the ashes just to threaten him. Before they got what they wanted, they wouldn’t do anything to the urn. He came to his car and slapped himself. I have to stay calm. Rage won’t help me in this situation. A calm mind, on the other hand, can do that.

His phone rang again, this time from the bodyguards protecting Chloe. “Mr. Clifford, she’s still crying. She’s been crying for a long time.”

“I know. Please keep an eye on her.” Of course, she would cry, but he couldn’t go back to her. He was not good at comforting anyone, so he wouldn’t know what to say to her. Besides, he had no idea how to

face them. The reason they were in this mess was thanks to him. He could do nothing but apologize, but they didn’t need his apology.

And so, he went back to Northpine Villa to get his sniper rifle, then he tucked it away in the trunk. He washed his face and changed into a fresh set of clothes before going back to Keyshire Property. He didn’t want Olivia to see him looking like a mess.

When he showed up, Olivia smiled at him. “You’re back, Thomas.”

“Yeah.” Thomas nodded and said hi, then he walked to the window beside the corridor to smoke away his frustration.

He had made up his mind on his way here. For now, he had two things to do. One, he had to bide his time. Since the enemy was coming after him, they would not stop at one operation. Two, he must hold his rage in. Before he could regain his top condition, he must hold it in, or everything he did would be for naught.

He might be a peerless marksman, but not even he could guarantee a win if he was surrounded by skilled fighters. Not to mention the enemy was no small fry this time; they were three of the Six Greatest Families.

He must stay alive if he wanted to take down the enemy. If he were to lose his life, there would be no way to carry out his revenge, not to mention Olivia would die too.

Morning came, and Olivia finally was done with work. It was odd, however, that she didn’t feel exhausted. After taking the meds Thomas gave her, she felt full of energy, and her mind was clear. Magical.

She came out of the office and approached Thomas. “Why don’t you take a break, Thomas?” Ever since he came back, Thomas hadn’t been looking too good, and she thought he was exhausted.

Thomas waved his hand. “I’ll make you your meds. You get some rest.” He left before Olivia could say anything.

Olivia saw him off, feeling her heart squeeze. No. He’s not exhausted. He must’ve run into something, but what?

She could not rest now, not when her heart was filled with concern for Thomas.

Thomas went back to the villa and entered the kitchen. First, he made Olivia’s meds, then he brewed his.
