My Ex Next Door 62 Chapter 62: Maybe we’re not meant for each other

Peyton parked the car in the airport runway where a jet was waiting, Daniella got down from the passenger seat and carried Novie on her shoulder.
"I'll get the man," Peyton said and opened the trunk, she pulled john's unconscious body from the trunk and drag his hand towards the jet while his body slide on the ground, she doesn't care if it will leave a mark to John' back.
When the door opened, Ken and Evan came out rushing.
"Daniella!" Ken screamed after seeing Novie, unconscious.
"What happened?" Ken asked while taking Novie from Daniella's shoulder.
"Well, she kind of pissed me off and refused to leave, and you know me. I don't have so much patience when I have my heels on" Daniella replied and went to her husband.
Ken stared at Novie's face while the girl was in his arm, her eyes are close but there's some sign of tears in her cheeks.
As he climbed in the stares, he could hear his sister scolding her husband.
"Didn't I ask you to bring an umbrella? Do you want to get sick?" Ken turned back and asked to lower her voice but Daniella glared at him.
"Why are you drenched too? don't expect me to take care of you" Daniella stomped her feet as she steps on the stairs.
Ken lay Novie's body on the small bed and covered it with a blanket, he moved the strands of hair from her face while staring at her.
He needs to take all the time he can have for now, at least while Novie is sleeping, he knows that once she wakes up, he's the last person she would want to see.
He squatted next to the bed and stared at Novie, he doesn't want to make her bed wet with his clothes so he just let the water off his clothes drop on the floor.
His cold fingers brushed her pale cheeks, thinking this might be the last time he can touch her face.
"I need to talk to you" It was his sister calling him but Ken shook his head and without looking back, he replied.
"Just give me a minute, I might not see her again after this" Ken replied in a low voice, afraid that Novie will wake up.
Before Daniella left, she jabbed a syringe to Novie's arm saying it will help her sleep for hours, when the woman left Ken to continue staring at Novie.
He took her left hand and stared at the ring, a bitter smile curved up his lips while a hot liquid formed in his eyes.
He has been dreaming of marrying her.
He has been looking forward to the day she will walk in the aisle wearing a white dress and her bright smile, he even spoke to Angelo and Mary and asked for their approval but he can't marry her anymore. She hates him and he knows he deserved it.
A woman such as Novie should never be with him, he doesn't deserve such a gentle and sweet woman. He bites his trembling lips and blinked to remove the tears in his eyes.
'I wish I met you sooner, how I wish I met you before my father turned me into a demon' he thought in his mind, there are so many things he wants to say to Novie but he can't, he doesn't want to hurt her anymore.
He took her hand and buried his face, as he felt her skin, two drops of tear fell on the sheet.
"Maybe we're not meant for each other" he murmured silently.
He sniffed and got up, realizing that Novie needs to rest after Daniella hit her.
–
Ken left the bed to confront Daniella for hitting Novie. He was about to speak when he saw his sister sitting with her face buried on her hands while Evan caressed her back, comforting her.
He walks to her side with confusion, wondering why she's crying.
"Hey" he put a hand on her shoulder, Daniella lifted her face and look at him with guilt in her eyes.
"I am sorry," she said faintly, Ken was not sure why she's apologizing. He sat next to her and sighed.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought her here. I am so sorry Ken" she spoke in crack voice. Ken exhaled and pull her body to hug.
He brushed a hand on her hair and place a small kiss on her forehead.
"It's not your fault Daniella, I didn't tell her the truth about my past so it's my fault. Please don't cry" Ken whispered, Daniella sniffed and meet his eyes.
"Still, I am sorry that your hurting Ken, not everyone knows you. Their small brain doesn't understand the reality, they don't know that in order to survive you need to wash your hand with blood" Daniella got up and pulled a parachute under the leather couch.
Ken followed her movement with his forehead creased in confusion.
He got up when he saw John laying on the ground, unconscious.
"Why did you took him, Daniella?" Ken asked in confusion.
The woman turned to him and shrug a shoulder.
"Well, I saw your mom with him and am… funny because she wants him to kill me" Daniella replied in her casual tone.
Ken was stunned, he tilted his head and turned to Evan.
"What is she saying?"
Evan got up and handed him a glass of whiskey.
"Your mother has been hiring people to kill my wife and his latest partner is him" Evan point a finger at John.
Ken nodded and turned back at Daniella who's busy putting the parachute on John.
"So, are we going to kill him?" Ken asked and swallowed the whiskey in one gulp.
Daniella looked at him and pouted, she straightened and took the bottle of alcohol from Evan, when the man protested, she glared at him.
"Brother, we are turning a new leaf so no more killing" she replied and downed the alcohol straight from the bottle.
Ken took it from her and pour himself a glass.
"What is your plan with that one?" he asked and handed the bottle back to Evan.
Daniella shrugged a shoulder and slapped John' face.
"Hey, Mr. Castro, wake up" the man groaned and opened his eyes when he realized that he was surrounded by the enemy he got up and leaned against the wall, he felt like a gazelle in the den of lions.
"Who… why am I here? Are you going to kill me?" he spoke in terror, while his knees trembled like a leaf
Daniella moved closer to him and locked the parachute to his waist.
"I don't kill people anymore, but let me tell you something, the one who killed your father was not Ken, it was Evan, my husband. He killed him because your father harassed me" Daniella gave him a lopsided grin.
Ken could see the shock in John's face.
"What… it can't be" John strumbled.
"I know… shocking right." Daniella widened her round eyes and smirked at him.
Ken watches as she took John's hand and lay it on the parachute locks.
"Listen to me, dear. Once you're in the air, you need to pull this string so the parachute will work, now you need to be alert or else you'll die. Understood?" Daniella explained in a slow tone as if she's speaking to a five-year-old kid.
John was about to reply when Daniella opened the door and push him, as his body float in the air, he could hear Daniella shouting.
"Hey I gave you the instruction if you die it's not my fault anymore"
