"If my son wouldn't have been a fan of yours, I would have smacked that thing off your face." She commented with detest.
"Mom, she is in a trauma. So give her time, at least a little please." Said the man who had the guts to talk for me, after what he did.
Then a sudden thought hit me sharp on the head, son, and mom?
"How can she be your mom, Alan? Mary..." Before I could finish the sentence, Alan raised his voice.
"I have no ties with that family. She is not my mother or those, my brothers."
"But Alan...”
"Oh my sweet little piece of shit, why are you so shocked? Feeling bad about your fiancée that he can’t bully his so called brother anymore?" asked she, sarcasm dripping her tone.
"Oh Alan, did your so called mother eat potty or is she born with it in her mouth?" I mimicked her sarcasm.
"You slut I will rip that mouth of yours." Saying she came running towards me and I was ready to fight with her, she had to pay for what she did to Dam.
She is the reason for the brothers to turn foes. How could she?
"Well I will rip your head of your neck then you will understand to never come between families." I yelled speeding towards her.
But a sudden slap to my face made me fall hard to the floor. Seeing the man behind the grievous act stung my eyes.
"Dare you speak to my mother like that again Sasha I will kill everyone you have ever loved." screamed Alan, gripping my chin hard that made me yelp with pain, but I swallowed it not wanting to look weak.
"This woman has become your mother and the one who held you to her heart, bearing you in her stomach for nine months, carrying you in the arms is a no one?" I yelled back at him smacking his arm.
"Mary is not my mother. This lady, Alice Smith, is the one that held me close to her heart, bore me in her stomach, and carried me in her arms, not Mary. Peter Knight the mafia king, who is said to not see or think of another woman except Mary, is not what he portrays. That bastard promised my mother of commitment and in the last minute claimed to be in love with that slut, and married her leaving my mother to die. Alice fought and left her family only for him and he betrayed her, took away all our happiness. That lady took my mom's right and Damon took mine, and you want me to call them family?" loathed Alan, turning away from me to break a chair that stood before him.
"Alan, see I can understand your misery but for what Peter did, you can’t blame Mary and Dam. Why can’t you see the brighter side, they took you as their own even though you are not." I tried to make him understand.
"No one knows that, am not their own, it's just Peter."
"Stop explaining her son, do what you have brought her to." intervened Alice.
"Alice please, I know how it feels to be another woman in your loved one's life, but...”
"Am not the other woman, it is that slut and don't forget your place shit." replied she scrunching her nose as if talking to me was a sin.
"It's better to find faults in yourself than others, potty mouth." I told her with same hatred.
"Sasha. Stop it if you want to see your family alive." warned Alan.
"Save it for yourself Mr. Alan Smith, you might need it when Dam comes for your neck." I advised him.
"Well! Let's see who is goanna break whose neck, beautiful." He laughed wickedly.
"I should have not been too dumb, to not take the hint of my dreams." I said holding my head.
"You are dreaming about me? Wow! Beautiful aren't we made for each other, dreaming about one another." He exclaimed knowing my hatred for him.
"Yeah so much that, a dream of your death would grace me." I mocked.
"So you want to ignore my warnings, to give that mouth of yours a rest from the curses you are throwing at us, isn't it? Well I think I should also forget that I love you and be a villain." He spoke, gritting his teeth and fisting his palms.
"You claim to love me Mr. Alan Smith? Doing the same thing what Peter did to your mother, you think you can earn respect from me or do you want me to fall at your feet begging to love me, what a pity?" I spat.
"Getting raped by my half-brother seems to be heaven for you than with me, what an amateur?" He replied sarcastically.
"It’s true that he raped me, but he felt sorry and not a single chance he left to plead me to forgive him, and you? You do not even feel remorse about what you are doing, and you? What should I call you Ms or Mrs. Alice Smith? Whatever it is, mothers teach their children to be good give them values and, when they do wrong they correct them, but what are you doing? You raised your son only to avenge your fate, this is the biggest difference between you and Mary. She is a woman with heart made of gold, and yours with iron, and I can’t see any wrong in Peter choosing her over you." I accused both of them.
"You piece of shit wa.."
"Let it be mother, shout how much ever you want to beautiful but before that, I want you to see something. Come." Saying he dragged me out of the room and pushed me into the car, he sitting beside me and Alice in the front.
"Max, take us where ma'am can know her place." He said to the man in the driving seat.
"Max? How could you betray the Knight's?" I asked not able to believe that one of the most trusted men had betrayed Dam.
"Had to miss, more money more luxury." He smirked.
"I can’t believe this." I sighed closing my eyes in depression.
"There is a lot more you want to say that for, beautiful."
Chapter 38- Pain
Frustration is a distress that makes one lose their mind. It's been two days since I have been locked in this new room, and both mother and son never visited. Good that Alice didn't care to see me, because if she did only one of us, would live to see the morning sun.
Alan brought me here to show me something that will blow my mind, but he didn't or he said that only to shut my mouth from the curses I was showering on him. I missed my dad, mom and Elle.
True were Alan's words, I was raped and hurt by Dam many times, but I never hated him. Always had a soft corner for that man and maybe, that is called love.
Even in these hard times, only thing I can remember are the good times I spent with my man.
"Hey beautiful long time, missed me?" asked Alan coming into the room.
"Yeah so much that I feel like killing you, right here." I replied with sarcasm.
"That little innocent girl's change is mouth-watering, love it." Saying, he licked his lips.
"Circumstances make us strong Mr. Smith, and do that once again I swear to cut it off your mouth." I swore.
"Aha! Fierce much" He said coming closer, and me taking a step back.
I kept taking steps back, with every step he took further. Until I hit the edge of the bed, tripping on my feet and falling on it, which he took as a chance to hover over me.
I dragged myself back till I hit the head rest, but he pulled me sliding me down and pinned my hands above me, leaving my body vulnerable to him.
Tracing his fingers lightly on the outline of my hips, he pushed himself on me till our lips were just inches away. His vanilla smelled breath hit my face, making my face turn with disgust seeing him so close.
"You should get off me, better to learn manners, it’s never late." I breathed.
"Thief talking about manners, isn't a good thing darling." He chuckled.
"Excuse me?" I said trying to push him off me, but he wouldn't budge.
"What should I call the one, who stole my keys from my locker to open my trunk, beautiful?" He asked scrunching his nose to show his rising anger.
"I..I di..did n.."
"Don't lie beautiful, it's my house and I will know everything you do there." He winked.
"By the way how did you like the contents?" asked he brushing his lips on mine.
Opening my mouth to talk would make ours touch each other's. Nice plan, but am not falling for it.
"Intelligent one you are. Well don't you want to know about the contents in my trunk? It's your choice, speak or stay calm."
He commented.
I nodded disagreeing to talk. But at the same time I wanted to know, why are those things in his room locked in a trunk? To know I can’t let the devil win in his nonsense, my body belongs only to Dam.
"Well it’s your choice. Am leaving then, don't think I will tell you anytime later, because you chose otherwise. See you at dinner beautiful." Saying he walked to the door.
"Alan?"
"Yes beautiful."
"Tell me, please." I pleaded.
"Kiss."
"What?" I asked shocked.
"Give and take policy beautiful, give me a kiss and you will get the information." Replying he left the door.
Stupid insane this man is. I have to know why he locked them in the trunk. How much more is he hiding behind that mask. He knows that I would never sell myself to him for anything that is why, he kept that condition. What a player?
"Miss, dinner is ready. I am assigned to escort you to the table. Please come with me." Said a girl of my age knocking on the door and coming in, an hour later Alan left.
"No I am fine here I wish to have it here." I replied with a smile.
"But I was asked to bring you down, please ma'am if you don't, then am dead." She pleaded.
"Fine, I will be there in five minutes." I told turning to the opposite side.
"I will wait miss, I was asked to bring you along with me." She replied.
"Ah! Fine I will change and come. Feel free." I sighed.
Alan is just insane, making this girl fear her life. What would happen if I ate in peace here than with frustration seeing his mother? That lady isn't even a bit of beauty inside as she is in the out.
I came out wearing a white lace off shoulder dress that stopped mid-thigh.
Seeing it fit me perfectly, I thought how Alan knew my size. But whatever it is, the dress was cool and casual, exactly how I wanted for this dinner with boring people, or rather I would say unwanted people.
"Hello. Am ready, let's go." I greeted with a smile.
She nodded with a smile and escorted me down, seated me on the table and left to a room which probably might be kitchen. The duo mother and son were not seen, waiting for ten minutes I went to roam the place.
As I walked seeing all the carvings in the big house, I thought if Alice was poor leaving her family, only to be betrayed by Peter, how could such a big mansion be hers. It was beautiful but not classy unlike the Knight's.
I walked to find a lane at the exit door of the house which was slightly parted, so I walked examining the carvings on the wall that led to the outside of the door only to show a huge garden in front of me. As I went deep into it touching the beautiful flowers that brought a smile, even in this worst situation am in.
Soon my smile faded away, hearing the slow voices behind the bushes.
"Stop it mom, she doesn't have to know." Whisper yelled Alan.
"Why not son, you brought her here to show her what we are capable of." She yelled back.
"Mom, you know that the truth will make her leave this house. I need her, she is mine and only mine and if you try to reveal it to her, then you know what I will do." He threatened.
"But son.."
"Mom, she would have come, let’s eat." Alan waved as if dismissing her.
"Hello both of you. Can you enlighten me of the truth, am brought here to know?" I said fisting my palms.
"Sasha? That's n.."
"Save it Alan, I heard everything, so it’s better, you tell me. I can take anything because; there is nothing for me to loose now." I prompted.
"Oh! There is shit, your family's death." She spat.
"What? What did you d..do to t..th..them?" I stuttered.
"Left them to die, both your family and fiancée"
Chapter 39- Evidence
"Left them to die, both your family and fiancée" Saying she let out a sarcastic laugh.
I collapsed hearing her say. I brought my knees to my chest and cried profusely. The only man I have ever loved and my family, everyone is in danger.
"Don't you dare touch me" I choked as he came near me.
"Sasha? Don't forget who is in charge." He patted my back kneeling beside me, in a way to tell me that, I had no right to tell him what to do.
"Where is he? Wh..Where are they?" I slapped him hard standing my ground.
He stilled as my hand touched his face. It turned bright red, hinting my end. But I am not backing off, not when my loved ones were at stake.
"You shouldn't have done that." Saying he dragged me in, up the stairs into his room and pushed me on the bed.
He removed his shirt hovering over me, forcing me to do the same.
"Even though you both are half-brothers, you are exactly same. In what kind are you better than him? I can't see any point how? Or is it only your mother who thinks like that? He snatched me from my family and you from him. He raped me and now you are doing the same. He threatened me and so did you. He is in the bloody mafia and even you. So can you please enlighten me, how are you different from him?" I spat still choking on my tears.
"Who said I was better than him lovely lady? I am worse than any mafia man. Killing my brother's first love and seeing him turn Lucifer proves that fact, isn't it?" He let out a wicked laugh, that made me back off.
"Y..You k..kil..kill.ed L..Li..Lil.l.y?" I asked remembering previous situations where I was forced to think otherwise.
"You are too naive to believe my story, aren't you beautiful? So you really fell for my lies? Poor girl, all those were only to get closer to you and your body." He chuckled as if I was talking something very funny.
"But Lilly was.."
"My brother's girlfriend" He concluded.
My eyes enlarged to the biggest size possible and my mouth fell agape. How could I not see this before? Was I too dumb or naive? I wanted some hole to swallow me and throw me near Dam. I missed him more now.
"Actually I don't know what to call you, naive or foolish? Seeing blood filled clothes and Lily's ear rings, in my trunk alerted you to go and ask Dam about Lily, but not think that I could be the killer." He asked raising an eyebrow.
"B..But why? Why her?" I asked shocked.
"Because she had a very special place in Damon's heart, and anything that is too attached to him will be destroyed. You know what, the story I told was same, only change was Damon in place of me, to be more precise, and she was pregnant with his child. He was unaware of that, she pleaded me not to kill her as she had a life growing in her, and I killed both of them. But I couldn't do that to you, I just fell in love with you at first sight, and instead of killing you I wanted to make you mine and break his heart. You, so dumb, fell in love with him failing my plan, due to which you are here and your family in the dungeon." He said trailing his hands from the neck till my chest.
"Stop"
"Don't order me, you are in my house, my room never forget when you are in a lion's den, bunny." Saying he pinched my nose.
"How could you kill a pregnant woman Alan? I thought you were sweet unlike Dam, but now I curse the day I thought that." I spat.
"Beautiful, you should be more careful with your thoughts and stop being dumb." He chuckled.
"What do you want from me Alan?" I asked turning my head away from him.
Dam did not know about Lily being pregnant, why God, why? How should I tell him, please I want to go to him.
"You very well know it." He smirked seeing my lips.
"Okay let's make a deal?" I told, looking back into his ice blue eyes.
"Deal, isn't your memory too dull? Am supposed to make deals"
"It is in your favour."
"Well, let me decide."
"I will give you a kiss, and you tell me where Dam is."
"Doesn't that sound too much?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.
"Few changes are required. You give me a kiss and I won’t touch you, everyday a kiss to save yourself from me, what say?" He smirked.
"At least can I meet my family?" I sighed.
I lightly placed my lips on his; the feeling was not even close to what I had with Dam or the first time I kissed this man, back in the mansion. Maybe due to the hatred in me changed my feelings towards him.
At that moment God would have heard my prayers, the door to the room burst open to show the man of my dreams hold Alice on the neck, coming inside bashing the door and her at the same time.
"Hello half-brother, nice to meet you. Is this the one for whom you have been betraying us for a while now?" asked Dam tightening his hold on Alice's neck.
"Asshole, I will kill you." Saying Alan plunged on Dam.
"Wait there little brother; you thought sending people to kidnap a mafia king would be that easy? Don't you think it is fair enough for you to face the consequences?" Dam smirked.
Two of Dam's men were too quick to hold Alan in place and other men came rushing circling us, to prevent Alan from fleeing.
"Alan kill her, kill her son." choked Alice.
"Lady, you make too much noise. What did you think that you were better than my mom? I have never seen more pitiful soul than you, and my heart is clenching with pain to see you. So goodbye, never see you again." Saying he pushed her to the ground and before Alan and I could realize, Dam shot her in the right and left eye.
Alice wailed with pain, and without mercy Dam shot her hands and legs paralyzing her completely. Her loud yells were heard, making me cry harder. I couldn't bear this anymore, so I closed my ears and eyes running out the door.
With one loud sound I heard both brothers fighting to take each other’s lives. Then after like five minutes I heard the gun shot ending Alice's wails.
I ran out the house into Rob's arms.
"Sassy, are you okay?" asked Rob seeing my form.
"R..Ro..Robsy, D..Dam k..."
"What? What happened to Dam, Sassy, tell me." He asked cupping my face and wiping my tears.
"No D..D..Dam k..ki..kill..killed A..Al..Alic..Alice. St..Stop D..Da..m pl..ease R..Robsy." I tried to bring my words together, but failed miserably.
"Sassy let Dam deal with it. Come let’s go home." Saying he escorted me to the car.
