Chapter 208 - They Want The Drug You Made

"Brian, what is this?" Lisa shows him the certificate, which has his real name on it. "You said your name was Brian, and I fell for it! You're a liar! Why didn't you say who you are in the beginning?"

She flops on the couch while rubbing her face a few times. It's hard for her to accept that she was just married the richest man in this state! On top of that, he was the one who destroys her research! The one who always pick a fight with Harry and Henry in term of business.

Always find a way to shut them down. What's his problem and now, he wants to claim her as well? As for what? A trophy?

Brian took her hand and looked at her face, earnestly. "I'm sorry. I…I've been in love with you since years ago, and I can't approach you using my real name, you'll definitely run away from me. I really want to tell you, it just...I don't find a suitable time to reveal it to you."

Lisa pulls her hand from him. "Didn't have a suitable time? You have plenty of time in this world to play pretend with me, why didn't you find yourself a time to tell me? Fuck, I can't believe this!"

She runs her finger through her hair. "Lisa..listen.." He tries to calm her down by hugging her body. "I really am..love you. My love toward you is no lie. It just the name that I lied to you. And I'm sorry for it. We'll start a new life, okay? But I want you to call me Brian like you always do. I like this name."

Lisa sighs and rubs her forehead a bit. "Let go of me. I'm tired. And we have to sleep."

Alright, she admits that she overreacted a bit. Maybe Brian was right. If he ever approaches her using his real identity, there's no way she would give him a second chance to talk to her. But everything is already done, and nothing can change it back.

Maybe she needs to adjust herself into his life. As he said, he was in love with her for a long time, and somehow she knows how it feels because she also felt the same way toward someone who still dear in her heart.

When she lay on the bed, Brian says. "When this new project is done, let's move to Seattle. I bought a new property there. You can design the house to your liking. It's your house. Our house." he kissed her shoulder softly, and Lisa replies with hmm.

'Moving out again.. farther from him.'

…

It was late at night when she walks around New York City. She misses this city, and Brian was out of town because he has to go somewhere in Chicago. He didn't tell her at all, but he looks like he was in a hurry.

While she was walking, she saw a shadow from her behind, which always follows her steps. Each corner she goes, she saw the shadow still following her. Trembling, she took out her phone and started dialing anyone from her phone.

"Hello?"

"Lisa? What's wrong? Why did your voice trembling like that?" It was Harry, the person she called.

"Harry? Help me. There's someone following me?" She whispered in a low voice so that that person behind her didn't hear anything that she said.

"Where are you? Are you alone? Is the 'X-Gen' on your hands now?" He sounds a bit rushed.

Lisa nods her head, "Mm. In my bag."

"Listen, send me your location and run as fast as you can after that. Drink that solution if you're out of option. Don't let them get you. I'll be there in a minute. Do you copy me?" Harry said, and Lisa pressed her lips together.

"Okay. Harry..please…hurry." She said, and Harry smiles, "Don't worry. I'll be there before they can hurt you." He replies, and Lisa immediately ends the call.

She taps on her phone screen and send her location detector to Harry before she runs after that, the moment she runs, she saw a few other guys also starting to chase her.

Her heartbeat quicken, and she try to find a way to escape from them when she finally hit the end of the alley, she gasps and takes the solution from her bag.

'Harry said to drink it. Urgh! Come on. You need to have a gut to drink this.' She clenches his finger to find some courage to do so. She never tested the solution, but she was sure it safe if someone not pregnant to consume it. The gene will not activate on an adult human. Still, it can stay inside the body for a few weeks until it sufficiently dissolved from the body system.

She opens the tube cap and drinks it before she throws away the bottle far from her position.

"Hey.. lady …don't run again." She heard a few steps behind her already surround her.

When she slowly turns around, there are three guys with a considerable build body already surround her. "Who..who are you guys? What do you want?" She asked tremblingly.

Laughing, the first man said. "We don't answer the question, lady. However, you have something that our boss interested in."

"And now…you have to follow us obediently." The second man said while took out his handcuff while the third man took out a gun from his pocket.

Lisa steps back and crouches down when they almost caught her. She squeezes her eyes shut, and all she can hear is someone fall on the ground, and some of bash and thud sound before one large hand caress her hair gently.

"Are you okay, B?" Harry asked while he already hurt pretty bad actually.

Fighting with a bare hand is much more hassle than using a gun. Harry cursed himself when he's not bringing his weapon this time.

Lisa opened her eyes, and when he saw him, she immediately cries on his shoulder. Hugging him and never let go. "I'm scared."

"It's okay now. I'm here." Harry rub her back and carry her like he always does. "We can't stay here for long. Their man will spot us again. Let's go," He said and started to walk, leaving the alley. The night began to rain, and they both drenched.

Lisa nodded her head while still clinging on him. She doesn't care about how people look at them right now. One was hurt pretty obviously while another one, act like a koala right now. It's cold, and he still hugs her tightly so that his warm from his body could radiating to her skin.

Harry bring her to one of the hotels in New York. He did not return to his penthouse nor Lisa's hotel. He knew this hotel had excellent security, so they safe for tonight.

When they entered the room, Harry put her down on the bed before he kneels down in front of her. He held her hand and hid his face on her laps. He was a bit trembling.

"I was so scared that something might happen to you if I were late just a bit."

"I'm sorry." She lifts Harry's face and looks at his injury. He got a cut on his eyebrow, and his eye had a blue ring shape. There's also a blood trail on his corner of lips. He looks mess like really really messy. His hair grows a bit long, and he also had a beard. Did he turn like this after her marriage?

Harry averted his eyes from looking at her any longer. "Did you drink the solution?" He asked and stood up to find a towel. He needs to knock some sense on his mind that she is now is already someone's else wife.

Lisa nod her head. "Who are they?"

Harry pulled her hand softly and led her to the bathroom. He opens the tap to fill up the bathtub with warm water. "They're underground people. They want the drug you made."

"What? But how did they know I have the drug?" Lisa asked, and Harry turns his body around, letting her take off her clothes and pull the curtain to close it.

"They're not only targeting you. They are also targeting Henry and me too. I don't know how, but they knew. So, one down, two more to go." Harry said.

"So, where did you hide your solution?" She gets inside the tub and warms up her body.

"I just randomly packing it into a bottle and hide it inside the store near the Virgo. I'll get it back tomorrow. You too, you should return back to Washington as soon as possible, okay?"
