Chapter 339: By Name
Emily had never liked Derek’s uncle. That much was an open secret. Back when she had been at Haven Group. She had not bothered to hide it, simply sticking to being professional, because she had not wanted to lose her job. But even then, her dislike for him, had never wavered.
They were oil and water. Two people who would never ever get along, no matter the situation.
All of that dislike for the simple reason that Sebastian Haven was a leech. Emily hated bloodsucking parasites with a passion. Be it the real ones. Or the ones like Sebastian, who seemed to take the fact that they sucked the life and joy out of everything as a compliment. In fact, her hate for him had not been because of just his soul sucking tendencies. Many things about Sebastian Haven had bothered her. Chief among them had been him viewing her as nothing more than an object.
Then there was also the fact that he had never even bothered to learn her name.
But now, Emily was realising that Sebastian not knowing her name had not been a bad thing. She had felt like those times had been some of the most irritating ones in her life. Moments when she had been forced to be in Sebastian Haven’s presence, despite the fact that she did not like him at all.
But now Sebastian was showing both Emily, and Derek that he could be a far more despicable human being, than what he had shown them in the past. His gun was aimed in their direction, his arm unwavering. Emily felt a new form of hate grow in her heart for Sebastian Haven.
He was no longer just Sebastian Haven the incompetent womaniser. Before her and Derek stood a murderer. The man who had killed both of their fathers. And judging by the cold look in his eyes, he intended to do the same to them. "Emily, cupcake," He said, and a chill went down Emily’s spine. She instantly wished to be back to the days when she detested the fact that he did not bother to know her name. Hearing him use it in such a familiar fashion made her all types of angry, and she could not help but snarl at him.
"There’s no need for such bad manners. You would not want to end up with extra holes in your body because you couldn’t control your face now could you?" He said it so simply, his tone light-hearted. Like he was not capable of shooting her then and there.
"Where was I? Oh yes, Emily. Be a dear, reach into your pocket, pull out your phone, and then do the same to my nephew as well. After that, I want you to slowly make your way towards me, and hand them over. You can do that can’t you sweetheart?" He winked at her like they were sharing a joke and Emily wanted to punch all of his teeth out.
"Monster," She hissed and Sebastian shrugged.
"That might well be but I am a monster with a gun. Now do as I say. Or I will kill my nephew in front of you so that you can watch him die slowly," Turning to Derek for the first time since the realization. Emily found him unnaturally still. It was as though his whole body had been carved from stone, and his eyes had gone arctic.
She had seen him angry before, but this was something else. Derek looked ready to just close the distance between himself, and his uncle in a single bound and just start tearing the man apart.
