ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 11 Episode 42

Anthony had once learned free combat and Andy was very good at fighting. Together they brought Allen down, though he still held a knife in his hand.

Anthony swiftly held Allen’s wrist to stop him from attacking them with the knife. For a moment, Allen found himself in a tight grip that made it difficult for him to even move. Allen let out a scream because of the pain inflicted by the stronghold. He released his hand by shaking off Anthony’s hands with all his strength. His next impulse was to stab Anthony in his stomach.

Sue sprang up as she watched her brother trying to stab Anthony. She could almost feel her heart in her mouth. Luckily, Anthony moved aside and the knife brushed on the side of his waist slightly giving him a small injury.

Andy pulled Allen back and pinned him down so that he could not move at all.

Andy pulled Allen back and pinned him down so that he could not move at all. Allen lay under the strong stranglehold of Andy throwing his limbs, struggling to free himself.

Sue heaved a sigh of relief. She ran to Anthony and asked with great concern, “Are you alright?”

“I’m alright. Don’t worry.” Anthony shook his head slightly and asked Sue, “Are you alright?” “I’m fine.” Sue checked Anthony’s wound immediately. Luckily, the knife had just touched the skin giving it a slight bruise.

“Sue, you bitch! Release Allen!” Peggy shouted at Sue, fuming in anger, absolutely unmoved and nonchalant towards Sue’s condition.

Andy tied Allen up quickly to make sure that he could not pose any more threat to Anthony or Sue. Allen cast a sinister glance at Sue and kept threatening her, “Sue! Ask them to release me. Otherwise, I won’t let go of you!”

Andy gave Allen a kick and said, “Shut up! Keep quiet unless you want to get killed for threatening Sue in such a condition.”

Allen finally realized his terrible situation. Indeed he was in no position to threaten Sue at the moment. In view of the situation, Allen changed his approach. He softened his voice and pleaded, “Sue… My sister, help me, please. Show some mercy.” Allen begged to be freed in a desperate voice.

Sue glanced at Allen and remained silent. Allen’s eyes were fixed on Sue as he pleaded again, “Sister, I admit I was really wrong this time. Please forgive me. I will never do it again.”

“Allen, don’t beg her!” Peggy sneered. “She won’t help us.”

Allen pretended to turn a deaf ear to Peggy’s words and kept on begging, “Sister, I’m totally wrong, I know it. Please give one last chance. I will be better if you let me go. I will never ask for anything from you anymore. Just give me another chance.”

Sue kept mute and Allen turned to Anthony.

“Anthony, my brother-in-law, I really regret what I have done. But I had no other choice. Just give me another chance. One last time. I promise I will never let you down.”

“Do you really realize your mistake?” Anthony asked Allen with a sneer. Anthony stood there holding Sue’s hand.

“Yes, I have realized it. I give you my word that I will change for good.” Allen looked at Anthony with pleading eyes. “Anthony, I’m Sue’s only brother. Just let me go and give me a chance to prove myself. Please save me from going to jail.”

Allen stared at Anthony and added, “I can do anything for you as long as you let me go. Please.”

Anthony cast a contemptuous glance at Allen and said, “I had once given you a chance. But see what you have done.”

“I know it was my fault to kidnap my sister. But I have not harmed her. You can see the milk. I had to risk my life to buy it for her yesterday. I mean no harm to her, really. She is my dear sister. My only sister.” Allen looked at Anthony’s face nervously and said, “I didn’t want to kidnap her but that was the only way out for me.”

He turned to Sue and pleaded, “Sister, say some good words for me. Help me explain it to Anthony.”

“Allen…” Sue looked at Allen with pity. How he changed his color as soon as he got tied up. Sue let out a bitter smile and said, “Now that you have made a mistake, you should be responsible for it. Now the police are looking for you and the only thing I can do now is hand you over to them.”

She shrugged and added, “You can confess your crime to the police if you want and ask for their forgiveness. As far as letting you free is concerned… that’s impossible. And besides, it is not in my hands.”

Sue felt extremely heartbroken to see that her brother had finally reached a point of no return. She did not have any hope to see Allen change into a responsible human being. He had created such a horrible fate for himself. He was responsible for every bit of it. And this was the only way for Allen to get the punishment he deserved.

“Stop speaking nonsense!” Peggy sneered at Sue. “Allen didn’t kill anyone. I’m the one who killed Doris. Yes. I am the one who is guilty. I couldn’t bear to see my son to be cheated by her. I killed her and I should be the one to go to jail. Allen has nothing to do with it.

You want someone to take responsibility, right? Okay, I take the onus of Doris’ murder. Let the police arrest me. Let Allen be free. I will go to jail.”

Peggy looked at Sue and added, “Don’t push Allen into this. It was my fault. It was me who committed the crime.”

Peggy played her card to emotionally blackmail Sue. She knew that no matter what Sue would never let Peggy go behind the bars for a crime that she did not commit.

Allen’s face broke into a smile. He grabbed the opportunity immediately and said, “Yes, yes. She did it. She killed Doris. You should put her into the jail. I am innocent. Yes. I have not done anything.” Allen looked at Sue with eager eyes and begged, “Sister, I beg you to release me. I really have nothing to do with that murder.”

At this time, Sue walked up to him and gave him a tight slap. She could not believe how low he could get. “How shameless can you be Allen? She is your mother and she has given all her love to you. And today you are using her to be a scapegoat to suffer punishment for a crime that you have committed. How can you treat her in this way?” Sue asked with a grimace.

“What’s wrong?” Allen still refused to admit his crime. “She has admitted that she is the murderer. So why do you still think that I am guilty? Just let the police arrest her and let me go.”

Sue appalled to see how selfish Allen could be. And even then Peggy would support him and shower him with all her love. Sue looked at her brother and gave a bitter smile. “This family is so unfortunate to have such a son like you,” Sue exclaimed.

Sue didn’t want to say anything to him. She turned her face towards Anthony and said, “Take him away. I don’t want to see him anymore.” Sue had never expected Peggy to take all the guilt for Allen. Suddenly a fear of something bad happening to Peggy gripped her mind. What if Peggy really surrendered to the police to save Allen? She could go to any extent to see her only son free.

“Let’s go.”

Anthony dragged Allen to leave.

“Sue, you are a bitch! Let me go!” Allen began cursing as he realized Sue won’t release him.

“She had accepted her guilt. Why are you still keeping me tied up? I will sue you for grounding me if you don’t release me!” he shouted.

Sue paid no heed towards Allen as she walked up to Peggy and asked Peggy, “Mom, did you see it? The one you have cherished and protected all your life has never cared about your feelings. He just wants you to be his scapegoat. So do you still think it worthwhile to protect him?”

“You will not understand this Sue. I am doing this willingly. But you don’t have to worry. Neither for him nor for me.” Peggy gave a cold smile and added, “Allen is my son. I will protect him at any cost. It’s none of your business even though I have to die to save his life.” Peggy kept harping on the impending threat on her life if Sue did not agree to do anything to save Allen. Sue let out a bitter smile and remarked, “Take it easy, Mom. I won’t let you die.” She looked into Peggy’s eyes and added, “The police will find out what Allen has done”.

“Sue you’re such a bitch!” Peggy seethed in anger, she muttered under her breath and screamed desperately, “What do you want?, I have told you I did everything. Why don’t you just leave him alone? Just let my son be free”.
