Cherish Love

DYLAN ETHANIEL's POV

We are now finally here in front of that person's room while this two continues to argue with each other. I just sighed as I rolled up my sleeves up on my elbow. These two are really a headache.

"Before we enter his room… Let me remind you that you have to control yourself, brother… Okay?" Chloe said and asked once again that made me just sighed. She's been telling her brother that ever since we're heading towards here and I know and I can feel that Xander's is almost at his limits now.

"Anne Alexandria Chloe Ramirez…" We both heard Xander said so seriously. No way… He's starting to get mad again.

"What?" Chloe said as if she can't sense what's happening already. What kind of answer was that, Chloe? Your brother is already at his limit and you answered him just like that?

"I'm warning you, Chloe... Stop defending him already before my patience completely runs out." I heard Xander said as he threatens his own sister. I just took a deep sigh as I saw Chloe looked at him in surprise. This guy really doesn't know how to control his anger.

"B-but brother..." I heard Chloe said as she startled and obviously, she's really surprised when her brother suddenly threatens her. I saw Xander walks closer to the door, leaving us here at his back that's why I tapped her shoulder that made her turned to look at me.

"I'll be on guard. Don't worry too much and trust me, okay?" I said as I tried to calm her down but she just looked at me as if she doesn't trust me? Is she still doubting me? I just took a deep breath before I put both of my hands on my pants pocket.

"Oh well, you don't have any other choice but to trust me right now, Chloe." I said seriously to her. I saw her just took a deep sigh as she slowly nodded her head.

"Okay, fine." I heard Chloe said. Tsk. I can't really understand her attitude.

"What are you guys talking about? Let's finish this once and for all." We're both startled when Xander suddenly called us. What's with that?

"We will, Xander. Just don't be carried away with your feelings. After all, you have a reputation to take care of." I said as I walk by his side and saw Chloe on his other side.

"Tsk." That's the only thing Xander had said before Chloe knocks on the door.

"Come in." The guy that we saved that night said before Chloe finally opens the door and we saw him lying on the bed with his arms and legs are bandaged. Wow… This guy is so amazing because he managed to stay alive after those men used a stun gun on him and beats him like there's no tomorrow.

"Good morning." We heard Chloe said as she greeted the guy who kidnapped her.

"It's you…" That guy said when he saw her walking closer to him while I chose to stay not too close to them because I really don't have any business with him. I just came because Xander asked me a favor to accompany them.

"Yes, it's her, mister kidnapper." Xander suddenly said sarcastically. What? He's starting again!

"Brother…!" I heard Chloe said as I walked closer and stand beside Xander.

"Xander, stop it…" I said as I saw him suddenly turns to look at me.

"What? Isn't he the one who kidnaps my sister, Dylan?" I heard Xander said that made me sighed.

"I know but will you please stop being so sarcastic, Xander? You're not helping." I said. This person's attitude is really tiring. This guy is really so hard to deal with.

"Why? What did I do wrong?" Xander asked as if he's innocent. Geez...

"Just keep quiet, brother. Let me have a proper talk with him." Chloe suddenly said that made Xander even more serious. Not again...

"I'm not allowing anyone to command me." Xander said so sternly that made Chloe turned to look at his brother.

"But I am not just anyone! I am your sister, brother!" Chloe said as she shouted at her brother. I just closed my eyes and calm myself. Dylan, you have to calm down and bear with it for a moment…

"And that's also the reason why I can't just stay quiet and listen to whatever stupid questions that you'll going to ask him." I heard Xander said that to his sister. Tsk. I'm really starting to get annoyed with these two.

"It's not stupid question! You're so rude to me, brother…" I heard Chloe said that made me opened my eyes and stop them.

"Will you two please stop fighting?" I asked as I tried my very best to calm myself.

"But---" I heard them said in unison but I just can't take this anymore and I suddenly...

"Stop or else, I will be the one to ask him instead!" I suddenly yelled at them that made the two of them stopped and stared at me.

"Did you just yelled at us, Dylan?" I heard Xander asked while still staring at me.

"Yes, brother… Ethan just yelled at us… Most importantly, he yelled at you." Chloe said while also looking at me that made me just sighed. What's wrong with this two?

"Please stop fighting and let's get this done already." I said as I finally calm myself. To be honest, I didn't expect that I will suddenly lose my composure just now. Oh well, this two has been arguing with each other since we left their house a while ago.

"Ahm… How are you now?" Chloe suddenly asked as she returned her attention to that guy.

"I'm doing just fine. Thanks for all the help---" That guy said but was interrupted when Xander suddenly speaks.

"Actually, I was the stupid one who's helping you, mister kidnapper." Xander suddenly said arrogantly that made me just sighed for the nth time.

"Brother." I heard Chloe said. Just give up, Chloe because this person will definitely not stop.

"Anyways, thank you for saving me and helping me, mister." That guy suddenly said. Wait a minute… He doesn't look like a typical kidnapper to me because he speaks politely than those criminals and I also think that he's an educated person so why did he do this?

"For the record, I'm not interested with your thanks. What I want is your reason and explanation regarding what you have done to my sister." Xander asked seriously as he gets straight to the point.

"Brother, I should be the one to ask him." I heard Chloe said as she turns to look at her stubborn brother.

"My dearest sister… Have you forgotten that I'm still your older brother? I have every right to ask him those things." Xander said in an authoritative voice. I just sighed. Here they go again ~

"Brother---" I heard Chloe said but was interrupted when Xander suddenly speaks again.

"I don't care what's on your mind right now, Chloe because the only thing I wanted to hear right now is his reasons why he did that to you." Xander said so sternly that made Chloe...hurt. Yes, she's hurt but she's good at hiding her true feelings though I can see through her eyes that she's hurt by what her brother had said. I just took a deep sighed before I started to speak.

"Seriously? We came here to interrogate him and not to make the two of you argue with each other." I said that made them both look at me.

"Can you blame me, Dylan? For goodness sake! This is the first time and I'm going to make sure that this will also be the last time that something like this will happen to my sister..." Xander suddenly said while trying his best not to yell at me… Or maybe he noticed that he accidentally hurt his sister's feelings that's why he's trying to calm himself now?

"I understand what you say, Xander but if you two keeps on arguing then we will not be able to find the answers that we wanted to hear from him." I said as I tried to stop these two from arguing already because they are now starting to hurt each other already...

"Tsk." Xander said before he stayed silent. I just sighed in relief. Thank goodness… He finally listens to me.

"Sorry about that, mister…" Chloe said to that person as she returns her attention to him again.

"No. I should be the one to ask you for forgiveness, miss Chloe." This person said as he slowly bow down his head and as he apologized to her once again. See that? I have a feeling that this person is not really a kidnapper...

"I'm sorry for what I have done to you once again, miss Chloe..." This guy said while bowing his head and apologized to her. For some reason, Xander and I suddenly turns to look at each other as if we're thinking the same thing. Does Xander also think that this person might not be a kidnapper?

"I can't say that it wasn't my intention because I have already done it but that doesn't mean I wanted to do it either that's why… I'm deeply sorry for what I've done." This person said that made us all shocked. What does that mean? What does he mean by that?

"What do you mean, mister? Why did you do this? Who gave you an order to do this to me?" Chloe asked politely while still looking at him.

"I will surrender to the police as soon as I get discharge here. I promise I won't try to escape." He said that surprised us. What?

"Who gave you an order to kidnap me?" Chloe asked once again but this time, he didn't utter a word.

"Mister, please ans---" Chloe said once again but was interrupter when Xander suddenly speak once again.

"I'll give you one last chance to talk, mister kidnapper or else, I'll call the police right here and right now to get you out of this place." Xander said as he threatens him that made Chloe panicked.

"Brother, no!" Chloe said but Xander ignores him. This guy… What is he planning to do?

"Yes, if you may." This guy suddenly said that made all of turned to look at him. What?

"What?" I heard Xander asked in disbelief. Yeah, what was that supposed to mean?

"I'm willing to surrender myself if that's what you want to hear from me." This guy said once again as he looks at Xander seriously. What?

"You don't have to do that, mister. I just want to know who's your boss, that's all. After all, you helped me escaped those crazy men that time that's why---" Chloe said but was interrupted once again when this guy suddenly speaks.

"I'm sorry but I won't be telling anything to you." This guy said that made us all shocked. What? But why?

"B-but why?" Chloe suddenly asked in disbelief.

"Do you really want to die for real?" Xander suddenly said as he started to walk closer to them but before he even gets closer to them, I immediately grabbed his arms and stops him.

"Xander, stop." I said that made him glared at me.

"Let go of me, La Flair." Xander said and I know that any moment right now… We can no longer stop Xander from attacking this person.

"You know that I won't let you do whatever you're thinking right now, Alexander." I said seriously as I tighten my hold on his arms. I won't allow you to do anything that you'll soon regret, Xander.

"Kill me if you want, mister but I won't tell anything to you. I'm sorry." This guy suddenly said once again that made Xander gets mad even more. Tsk. Why do you have to tell him that again!? Does this person really wish to die already!?
