The Passion Of My Enemy

The Passion Of My Enemy
** Puppeteer **


Derek looked at Jack who was sitting in front of him, the man's hand as if he did not want to stop touching Amy's skin. As if provoking Derek's reaction at every touch he makes.


"Keep your hand, Jack." Derek hissing.


Jack smiled at the hiss. Moving closer to the top of the sofa where the exhausted Amy fell asleep, bending over as if to kiss Amy's lips that still looked pale.


"Why? Can't you bear to see it? She's really pretty, isn't she?"Jack stroked Amy's cheek gently with his lips.


Derek clenching jaws. But remain silent and refrain from indulging in anger. The situation is not in his favor. The four corners of the large workspace were full of heavily armed guards, and Derek sure as well as the exit or even the entire mansion where Jonathan took him and Amy.


"Let him sleep without being disturbed, Jack. Amy needs. You don't see his face still looking pale."


"I think you're right .. He hasn't slept well since he was captured and held captive. He was always agitated, I think he was so exhausted and in pain, that he could fall asleep at this moment."


Derek fell silent, remembering as he was pushed into this workroom with Amy and saw the girl's tired face and blue eyes that looked like they were a firefly. Derek hugged her from behind and whispered to her to rest, they needed a fresh physique and a clear mind to deal with Jonathan.


Just then Amy turned to face Derek in her arms. Those pretty blue eyes glowed and asked.


"Please promise me you won't go anywhere without me."


Derek looked at those blue eyes deeply. Understand the fear and unease that shines there. Derek nodded immediately.


" I promise. As long as you follow my words, rest."


Amy nodded, the guards in each corner of the room just stared unblinkingly at the two people hugging. Ignoring the positions of those who hugged and whispered to each other. They moved away as Jack pushed the entrance into the room.


"Ah, I've only been away for a while and you've been in his arms, honey."


He cupped his hands to his chest, looking at Amy who kept his body away from Derek's embrace.


"Sleep, you need it." Derek didn't break Jack's insinuations. His hand pointed towards the long sofa that was near them while looking at Amy fixedly, telling her that he would take care of her and not go anywhere.


Amy nodded, then laid her body on the sofa. The crane helped arrange the seat cushions to make Amy comfortable to lie down. Derek turned his head when a blanket someone threw hit his leg.


"Wear that." Jack looked at Derek who was helping Amy to rest. She felt she needed it, Amy didn't rest and eat well. Just wait for the time before the girl gets sick if not take care of herself right away.


Amy fell asleep quickly after gaining a comfortable position for her body on the sofa. Without knowing and reacting in the slightest to Jack's touch on the skin of his arms or face.


"Isn't she very much like our aunt Margaret." Jack looked at the face with irony. His father was obsessed with Margaret and now he feels himself hooked on his father's enemy's daughter.


Derek did not comment. Amy is similar to her mother, but I don't know what magic the mother and child have so the men of the Langton family are somehow interested and even obsessed with having them. Derek remembers his own father who loved Margaret very much, even faithfully and unwilling to replace her with anyone else until she died.


The sound of approaching footsteps made the two men wake up to their daydreams and immediately turn their heads. Jonathan with his mask and cape looked at Derek and Jack alternately.


"Don't tell me that you both like that girl the same....?."


A long silence was welcomed among the men after Jonathan's question.


"Huhhh .. You repeat bad history if you do!!"


Jonathan grunting. Derek looked at his uncle in wonder, not yet understanding what his uncle meant.


"Did your father never tell you that we love the same woman? But Margaret loved only Arthur, she chose to leave the family that raised her. Even a powerful Erland cannot stop it!"


"My father wanted Aunt Margaret to be happy."


"Margareta left because Erland was too soft! Refuse to take down Arthur Sky! Everything would be different if he killed that man!"


"That would make Aunt Margaret sad, uncle.you know my father would do anything for her."


"That's the weakness! I refused Margaret's choice! But Erland has always confronted my every attempt to destroy Arthur! Even old Steve hinders my every move! the useless old man instead gave half of Langton's business empire to Erland. The other half had to be split between me and Margaret."


Jonathan berates his own father in light of the sound of the legacy the father left behind.


"Grandfather wants our family business safe and growing uncle. You didn't show your ability to take the company in a better direction. That's why I was given greater power."


"Who told you that, Derek! Erland was always given excess power, Margaret's share was processed by her at Margaret's will. He never touched his part! But he allowed Margaret to remain with Arthur, even though she was able to stop him! He can make Arthur disappear from this earth!"


Derek listened to the grievances and anger that his uncle was throwing. The envy and dissatisfaction Jonathan felt already made his heart harden.


"But I am very satisfied. Arthur Sky had no right to live again after Margaret died. I finished him off!! so is my weak brother!"


Derek. Fear his ears are hearing wrong.


"Uncle."


Jonathan's laughter rippled through the room. Derek stood up from his chair, two guards immediately moved closer.


"Never lose business with people of the underground world .. relations who have a chemical weapons research business provide solutions to me. An undetectable form of poison .. only the symptoms of death are like a heart attack! And money makes everything easy. I'm waiting for your sick father to be admitted to the hospital you've always been to. Someone did my orders to poison his meal."


A terrible laugh accompanied Jonathan. Derek moved towards him quickly, but the two armed guards who had been ready from earlier caught and restrained his body. The crane muttered without success.


The sound of a voice appearing in her ear pierced through Amy's consciousness. Slowly he opened his eyes, confusedly looking around, Amy sat down and felt the arms surrounding his body. Amy turned towards Jack who was holding her tight, holding her back from moving.


"You should just go to sleep, 'Darling .. You won't like watching this scene."


Jack looked at his laughing father and the rebellious Derek broke free to no avail.


"You ********! You should have died! You're the scum in the Langton family!"


Derek yelled at Jonathan. The disbelief of hearing the man admitting to poisoning his father made his anger flare up. The final result of his father's death examination was said to be a heart attack, and he believed it was on the team of doctors who had treated his father for a long time.


"I have to get rid of it to control all my rights! "


A stack of files was thrown on the big table in front of Jonathan. Two men who then entered made Derek think what his uncle wanted next.


One of them was his father's lawyer. He looked very nervous because a gun was pointed at his head at the time.


"Master Derek .. forgive me, they...." Nicolai was stammered, her pale, bruised face next to her eyes telling Derek what the middle-aged man had been through.


"Now sign Derek's file. Both lawyers will take care of everything. From now on everything is transferred in my name! "


Jack looked at every word his father said. The man never wholeheartedly considered him a child. The mistake of having fucked his mother made Jack's unexpected presence feel like a distraction in Jonathan's life. His ailing mother had teenage Jack come to the Langton family, afraid his son would live alone, and Jack did so when his mother died. His confession at that time was rejected outright, he was expelled by Jonathan. Their resemblance does not make Jonathan's heart accept or at least want to check if Jack's statement is true.


It was Erland Langton who then arrested Jack, seeing his resemblance to Jonathan and examining the truth. DNA tests with 99.9% said they were father and son. Forcing Jonathan to accept Jack at his house. But he was still like a stranger. Any attempt he made to attract the attention of the man always failed. Unlike Derek, who although only adopted children, but Erland's treatment to him as in his own biological child. Jack was so envious.


Until the time of Arthur's murder. The silent Jack follows his father as he witnesses a massacre that turns into a boomerang for his father. Arthur killed them all, then burned them to ashes.


Jack arrives just in time to pull his father out of the burning car while Arthur's men are gone. But the condition of his father who was half burned made his body deformed. Jack took care of her for months, until she recovered and began plotting revenge. Jack keeps his father alive, rejoicing that Jonathan is starting to be nice to him, following Jonathan's instructions and plans to kill Erland and Arthur. Hopefully by following all the plans of the man, he will be accepted wholeheartedly and treated like a biological child....
