My Ex Next Door

After Novie left, Ken's body remained standing in the same spot, shocked that Novie said those words to him

He was angry since he arrived in the casino and saw how John gawked at his girlfriend like a hawk.

He wants to confront him but Glen and Evan stopped him saying he needs to trust Novie and he did until a man tried to harass her.

When he saw the fear in Novie's face when the man moves closer to her, Ken's blood boils, he doesn't want Novie to experience the fear of getting harass by someone, a demon inside of him urged him to kill the man and cut his hands off from touching his girlfriend.

He's always been like this, a man driven by anger. One wrong move he will kill a person, but that was the old Ken, he turned a new leaf and became good but the incident today proves that the murderous side of him hasn't disappeared and it will always be with him.

With his fist clenched in frustration, Ken decided to leave the casino, as he walks to the door, he saw Daniella and Peyton rushing inside the casino.

After his sister stood in front and stared at his emotionless eyes, Daniella lowered her face, guilt shimmered her eyes.

"I am sorry" his sister spoke in a sincere tone.

Ken slapped her hand away and seized both of her arms.

"why? Why did you bring her here? This is not a place for her"

Daniella met his eyes.

"I need to investigate the Aldovian minister and--" Daniella was interrupted when Ken pushed her body away

Evan immediately caught his wife, after Daniela balanced her body Evan went to Ken and pulled his collar in anger.

"Next time you hurt her, you can forget about our friendship. She's doing this for you Ken, she can't even spend time with our kids just to let you have time with Novie. So don't… Don't hurt my wife again" saying that Evan let his collar off and turned to his wife asking if she's all right, Daniella pouted and buried her face to Evan's broad chest.

Ken raised an eyebrow by Evan's word, he sighed and remembered how he acted earlier towards his sister

"come here shorty" Ken spoke in a calm voice.

When Daniella stood in front of him, he sighed and pulled her closer. Ken hug Daniella as if there's no tomorrow, people around who don't know them will think that she's someone special but Ken has a reason why he's hugging her so tight

His lips move closer to her ear and whisper.

"I need you to check on John. Do everything you can even sell your body. Don't worry will keep this to Evan" Ken murmured. When he separated his body to Daniella, her blank face greeted him.

When he thought she will protest, the woman turned to her right side where Peyton was standing next to Matthew.

"Peyton let's go. Our work here is not done here " saying that Daniella drag Peyton out of the casino but before they exited Ken rushed to them.

"I am coming" he ran to their direction after saying his goodbye to his friend.

Ken, Peyton, and Daniella stood in the front desk of the hotel where John was staying, the receptionist doesn't want to give John's room number.

"Tell me how much you want and I will give it" Ken spoke in a serious tone, all he wanted was to talk to his girlfriend and clear the air but the receptionist was cold as well.

"I am sorry sir but we can't reveal our customer's information" he refused.

Daniella and Peyton looked at each other and squinted. Then Daniella sat on the front desk and leaned forward.

"You sure you don't want because I have another way of knowing it. I just forgot my laptop so I can't. So, mister please save me some trouble and tell me the room please" Daniella blinked seductively.

Ken rolled his eyes when he saw the man sweating,

"20th floor, room 2021" he replied with a wide smile while his eyes glued at Daniella's cleavage.

Saying that the three left the receptionist who's still dazed by seeing Daniella's soul.

As they entered the elevator, Ken turned to Daniella.

"Hey, our deal is John so what you did was not my responsibility" Ken reminded her.

Daniella clicked her tongue and said all right.

When they reached the door, Daniella took a swiss knife out of her bra while Peyton took the gun stick on her leg.

"So, How are we going to do this? Should we let Daniella unlock the door or should I shoot it?" Peyton asked Ken. When he turned to Daniella, the woman seems to not have other ideas aside from the knife she's holding.

Ken took the knife and gun from them and sighed.

"we are going to be civilized and knock"

After two knocks, the door opened, it was John and behind him was Novie.

Ken smiled and about to reach Novie's hand when the woman took a step back and stared at him with gloomy eyes.

Ken parted his lips in shock, the expression he saw in Novie's face was something he had never seen. She was staring at him with fear all over her face, her eyes were wide open while her lips trembled, she was holding a phone with a video playing.

Ken could not see the video but he could hear someone voice begging, what shocked him the most was the voice, it was his voice.

'Please, Mr. Chu don't kill me, don't kill my daughter we will pay you back' Ken could not recognize the other man's voice.

'I don't need your money. I am just bored so..." Ken's voice paused in the video and the loud sound of a gun roared followed by the cry of the man.

'why? How can you do this? You're a heartless demon' the man yelled, shortly after Ken's voice laughed which exceeded the man's cry.

'killing someone satisfies me, so goodbye' and with those words, another gunshot chimed.

Ken gulped and sweat formed in his forehead, he tried to reach to Novie once again who was standing behind John.

"Novie let me explain. Please come with me" he begged in a helpless tone but Novie shook her head. The fear Ken saw in

Novie's eyes made his body stiff, she's acting as if a monster was lurking under her bed as if he's the monster who's about to kill her.

When Novie's lips parted, all the words she uttered was like a knife cutting his heart into pieces, he felt as if someone was tearing his heart apart.

"I know you've done terrible things but this... the video... Ken, you kill people for pleasure" Novie spoke in a cracky voice.

Ken's hand dropped, he wanted to explain his side, tell her he changed.

The voice he heard in the video even though he doesn't remember the exact scene, he knows that it was him, he almost forgot those words, the words he always spoke coldly before he kills his victim.

He wanted to reach out to Novie but the woman was staring at him with fear and disgust, she's moved away as if he had a contagious disease.

"I... can't be with you. I can't be with someone like you " saying that Novie slammed the door by herself.
