Chapter 169: My babies
My whole body felt different from looking at bodies and blood. I had no idea which felt worse; watching the blood gush out or actually being in this situation to start with.
“Oh my God,” I growled as I kept puking over and over. I tried to shut my eyes and brush it off but I couldn’t cause I was in the midst of dead men.
I looked over their bodies and tried my best to remain calm. I felt utterly irritated but at the same time, I felt like the price.
The noise coming from the sides didn’t stop and soon I figured people were fighting.
I don’t know the whole thing resulted into me standing in the middle. I was between Gladys and Luciano and I swallowed hard and looked around me.
“Don’t you even think of it,” Gladys’ voice muttered from behind me and I looked in her direction. Luciano laughed out loud and I also wondered what the hell was going on.
“Come over here,” Tiffany beckoned. “You know you don’t have a choice”
I looked at her and then at Luciano. I was trying to get a perfect understanding of the whole picture and whatever was going on.
The atmosphere was tensed and I could feel the adrenaline rush in my spine. I clenched my hands and held it together as I stood there.
“Tiffany it’s either you come over here or you’ll die from boiling inside,” Gladys sad again with a louder and harsh voice.
My mind immediately went to the injection that her man injected into my body. I paused and heaved before returning my attention to the situation on ground.
“Do you feel the student doctor will just fall from nowhere?” Luciano asked. “Listen, I got the intel from your favorite man who shamelessly said he did it for money and-”
Gladys raised her gun and pointed it at Luciano immediately. Before he could finish his statement, she pulled the trigger and shot him.
“What they gave Tiff isn’t what will kill her but help the baby!” He yelled. “Do you even know what it feels like to be the bad egg of the family?” Luciano asked her.
There was no response at first and Gladys just kept panting hard. I had no idea why but I was panting hard too so I took it that it was the tension from the whole thing happening.
Luciano paused and then cleared his throat. “My father hates me for two reasons and now I don’t know if I’ll be able to face him.”
I looked at him but he didn’t turn in my direction. He just balled his hands in a fist and and sniffed out.
“You have no fucking idea but i’ll tell you,” he started. “I have not been able to have sex with Tiffany or lay beside her naked body, watching her sleep while her skin flourishes in all its glory.”
I looked at Luciano but I still couldn’t understand
“Do you have any idea how crazy it is to not touch her?”
A grunt escaped his lips and he frowned before continuing. “I’ve been going crazy since she was taken away from me. I’ve felt so much emotions in these while and these are emotions that makes me know that I’ll rather die than let you or anyone take her.”
A lump formed in my throat as he spoke and I just swallowed hard. I looked at him again and a lot of thoughts came running through my mind.
Did he mean every word that he said or was it just to make Gladys scared of her plan?
I didn’t know what to believe or even how to believe but I kept holding on.
“Do you want to be choked or you want your head blown off?” He asked me.
It came off as a rhetorical question at first and then I swallowed hard when he turned and showed me sniper marks on my body.
“Look,” he said. “On your arm. That’s a sniper mark.”
I swallowed hard and I stepped toward Luciano. I gave in cause I had no m
other option and I couldn’t think of doing anything else.
My hands got tired and I was pushed in.
I heard a chuckle and when I turned it was the doc. I wondered what was funny but I couldn’t get at anything.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He continued laughing and then paused. “It’s my new laser touch from Amazon and not a sniper gun.”
I watched them act so serious without saying any word to either of them. While they kept taking, I heard a footstep and looked in the direction of the sound.
It was Selena’s son. The young boy walked up to us and then dusted dirt off his body. Apparently, he had been hiding so he was just coming from the hideout.
I inhaled and exhaled audibly before turning my attention back to him. He was already close to us and a small smile tugged on his lips.
He looked like he was proud of something or that he had just done something worth it. The satisfactory grin on his face turned into a smirk then he laughed.
“It was me,” he said with a wider smile.
I raised my brows at him cause I didn’t know the context of what he was saying. He noticed and then shook his head.
“It was me who broke the riddle. I was the one who found out that your phone was last in the building.”
I opened my mouth to say something but I had absolutely no idea what I should say. Was I supposed to praise him? Uh- thank him or?
“We should leave,” he continued. “The police will soon be here.”
I gave a nod but waited behind for Luciano to get closer to where I was when I remembered that he almost shot me with a smile on his face.
“Hey,” he sad but I responded with a slap on his face.
“You almost shot me,” I told him.
“I’d never harm my babies.”
