Burning Passion

CHAPTER 154: FINALLY, SHE WAS RESCUED

"Even if that place is Hell. Definitely, he will come and get HER back."

* * *

Hearing that, Nikki wanted to rush toward the guy and slap him. But if she attacks him, she could not assure her safety and her child if she fought with him.

This child inside her…

It was her and Theo's child. Just to imagine, it already makes her happy like she is on top of cloud nine. Tears began plummeting in her eyes, and it was a tear of happiness. 

"Now, you have begun crying? We haven't started yet?" Brandon scorns her.

Nikki lifted her head, gaping at the guy with an intense gaze; she blurted out. "No! We already started it! It was a long ten years! You stole the precious years that suppose we enjoy and cherish right now! Go to hell!" Nikki stood on her feet and reached for the gun she saw hanging on Brandon's waist. 

However, Brandon seems to guess what she's thinking. He gripped her hand and pinned her against the wall. She struggled to be freed from him. Even though she won't have enough strength, she wants to feel relieved from the heartbreak she felt right now. 

This man took away the wonderful memories she has with Theo. She won't forgive him!

Brandon, on the other hand, it pissed him when Nikki struggled and kicked him. He pushed her on the sofa; he threatened Nikki. "Enough! Don't empty my patience with you!"

But then Nikki began feeling nausea when the ship reduced its speed. Now she could feel the giant waves slamming them, the reason she likes to vomit.

"Can I go to the washroom?" she made a request.

Brandon seems to see only her acts. "Really? And what are you doing there?" 

"I felt sick. I need to throw up," she begged.

"Dammit." Brandon turned his head and yelled to his men outside. "Why did the ship stop!? I said, don't stop no matter what!" he complained when the ship completely stopped, and he could sense the waves slamming the ship.

The door opens, Nikki wants to run toward the guy who slowly takes a step inside the room. She bit her lower lip and let her tears be like a waterfall, as they never stop flowing down her cheeks. 

"Theo!" 

'Why did you come?' Her heart fluttered, but also worry. She cannot forget what Brandon told her. He is the one to put Theo into a coma, and they both forget each other after an incident ten years ago. 

'Theo, what memories we had in the past?' Her heart hopelessly wished to know about it.

Meanwhile, Brandon tore a maniacal laugh in his mouth. He said, "It is you! As always, you suddenly appear and spoil my fun time!" His delight turned into a sharp gaped at Theo; he then phrases, "Great timing! I prayed to cross paths with you, to kill you again!" 

"Praying? To whom? It must be satan, your kin. Well, you're going to hell soon!" Theo quoted, remaining to aim his gun at Brandon, which the guy pointing his gun into Nikki's head. He should not make a wrong step or else Nikki's head would be shot. 

And this show entertains Brandon, who laughs like a madman. He proudly reminds Theo, "You said it before! But look? You failed! Instead, I caused your life to be miserable!" Brandon pushed the gun into Nikki's head, he then ordered Theo, "Put your gun down!"

Theo presses his mouth. Hesitant, he raised both of his hands. Slowly, he places the gun on the floor. 

A while ago, the moment he kicked the door to open, he wanted to rush to the guy and kill him on the spot. But the International Law needs to interrogate him. He cannot harm him severely, but he could still wound him.

Not that long; they hear gunshots from the other side of this ship. Nikki forcibly pushed Brandon on the side that made him lose balance.

Theo instantly picks up his gun and pulls the trigger after he aims it at Brandon's knee. The guy screams. But he snagged Nikki, who attempts to run toward Theo. 

"You fucking bitch!" he cusses. Brandon pointed the gun on Nikki's head once again. "I'm getting pissed off! You just a fucking shit!" 

"Don't you dare to shoot her!" Theo threatens the guy. He remained pointed the gun at Brandon. But the guy was hiding behind Nikki. 

"You're a coward. Hiding behind a girl's skirt," Nikki's ridicule to the guy that annoyed him.

"Shut up, bitch!" 

Nikki learned a few self-defense techniques in the past. Lowering her gaze, she scans Brandon's shoes. They are made of leather. It will not be easy to step on it and hurt the wearer. She fixed her gaze and turned to Theo. Their eyes converse. Without words, they understand each other. She has to make a move. So then Theo can shoot the guy.

Somehow, from the deepest part of her heart, she trusted Theo. And she is willing to take the risk.

Theo almost died once. It's all because of her, to what Brandon blabbing a while back. And now, he was here to save her and protect her. 

Nikki fought the tears that again slipping her eyes. She takes a deep breath, waiting for a perfect moment. She bit Brandon on his arm and the guy cried out with pain. He pushes Nikki on the side to let him go and it was the moment Theo awaits. He shot Brandon in his shoulder. 

"Fuck!" He yelled after the gun slipped in his hand. 

Immediately, Theo rushed toward the guy and kicked him. Brandon flung to the wall, and Theo strangled him using his elbow, pressing Brandon on the neck to the wall. But it pissed him as the guy just grinned and gaped at him mockingly. 

"You piece of shit! We will make sure you will put it in the place that fits you!" After he stated it, he thrust his knee to Brandon's stomach. The guy collapsed as his other knee began bleeding badly.

Theo is unsatisfied. He kicked Brandon one more time. The guy's head slammed to the wall. He groans with pain, but still, that grin never left his face.

"If only I could kill you right here, right now! I am so fucking on the verge of my control!" Theo hissed at the guy. His body was shuddering from anger. 

"Blah… Blah… Still, you failed to deliver me to my father satan. You said that ten years ago." Brandon laughed at him mockingly.

Annoyed, Theo grabbed Brandon's shoulder and pressed the part where he had shot him. The guy cried and cussed him. 

Meanwhile, Daichi and the others exchange bullets with Brandon Hale's company, which these men had no care if they would hit the ship workers. 

"Shit! Is Theo already secure Nikki away from here?" David asked Matt. He reloaded another set of bullets into his gun.

"I don't know!" Matt yelled, shooting another guy in the head. "Oops. Can't help it. He should be one of our witnesses." 

"All right! We can't help it. Let us make sure many of them stay alive and have a use for us! I'll check on Theo and Nikki. I heard gunshots from that room!" David told Matt and Daichi. 

Carlos also nodded and said, "We will cover you up!" 

"I will go with you, David! I want to make sure Nikki is safe!" said Daichi.

David nodded. Both of them crawled, making sure their heads were down. Waiting for signals, the Special Marine Forces were on standby. 

Daichi makes a sign with his fingers, counting, "1… 2… 3!" 

He and David run. But someone is shooting at them from the top of this fishing vessel.

Carlos aimed his Barrett M82 sniper rifle and shot each man he spotted that positioning and hiding above of this ship.

Daichi halted and stopped David when one man appeared. David flung his leg and kicked the guy, in which Daichi readied to throw his knuckles. The man collapses on the deck without consciousness. 

They resumed running toward the room. Daichi and David saw Theo kick the guy.

"Nikki!" Daichi calls out, and Nikki rushes to him. 

"Brother Daichi!" She instantly throws her shivering arms around the guy.

"Oh, are you alright?" he asked, worriedly, rubbing Nikki's back when she cried inside his arms.

Nikki nodded while she wiped her eyes… "Thank you for coming to save me, brother Daichi," she said between her faint sobs. 

Daichi laughed and petted Nikki's head. "Hush now. Don't worry, Aunt Lucy is safe and was in the hospital with Ben. She's all right." 

Hearing the good news, Nikki has more reason to cry. She's happy that her mother was rescued and in excellent condition. 

"Anyway, Nikki. How was your—" Ah, so foolish of him! Nikki hasn't known yet that Theo is the one she's meeting, and they knew she's pregnant. He has to zipper his mouth yet. "Erm, what I mean is, you should not thank me, but that guy over there." Daichi pointed his mouth at David and Theo, who together pressed Brandon on the wall as David put a handcuff on his wrists, they pushed him on the corner, cried with pain when his knee flung in the wall. 

"That's not enough suffering to pay for all the trouble you cause us! So many lives become miserable because of your family and the organization you are in!"

David yanks at Brandon throws a powerful blow in his stomach.

Meanwhile, Nikki wrinkled her forehead and asked Daichi, "Are you referring to brother David?" 

Like an innocent kitten, it amused Daichi peering at Nikki when she mouthed the words. He glanced at Theo, who dropped his shoulders. He looks disheartened that Nikki hasn't realized his effort to put his life in the line to save her. He flashes a grinning mock at the guy, whom Theo rolled his eyes and shook his head. 

Anyway, that was true. He will turn the world upside down to search for Nikki and to make sure he saves her this time. Even if that place is hell. Definitely, he will come and get HER back.

But thanks to their friends, that was like a family to her.... he did it, and they rescued Nikki.
