Chapter 2 She's dead

Chapter 2

“You…who are you people and what do you want from me?” Avery retreated a few steps away as she looked at the giant men in front of her, clad in a black suit with their faces half-covered. There were about six of them pointing guns at her, which made her heart race differently.

She lowered her head and couldn't stop her trembling fingers.

"Why is everything turning upside down for her? She had just witnessed her husband's affair with her adopted sister Isabella, and now she was outnumbered by those strange giant men!”

Avery glanced at almost everywhere, but everywhere was silent and dark, so only the streetlights were flashing on them.

“Don't worry, there's no escape route for you, we'll get it done without a tinkle of an eye!” said one of those men.

A gust of wind swept by swaying her ponytail, her straight swag with bangs lying above her eyelashes slightly shifted, revealing her starry eyes through the glass on her face.

“I'm sorry if I have offended you, but could you all please let me go? I have nothing to offer.” Avery pleaded, as she was worried that they might have gotten the wrong person, as she was sure she had never done anything negative that would warrant assassins to outnumber her.

But somewhere deep within her mind, there was a voice in her mind telling her those assassins were sent by a person known to her.

“Young lady, how sure are you have nothing to offer her?”

“Besides, we don't need your life, your life is in someone else's life, it depends on the person to know whether you'll be kept alive or not!” One of the assassins said.

“So, why me of all people? Just tell me why bad things always happen to me?” Avery lamented loudly, holding her hair tightly like it was affecting her breath.

“It's a pity that you might die tonight, though,” one of the men said and glanced at Avery from head to toe with a lustful gaze that one could see, the admiration in those eyes of his.

Even though Avery was a nerd, one wouldn't deny the fact that she was the absolutely pretty type despite those glasses on her face. One could say the glasses added to her uniqueness.

Almost immediately, the pervert assassin who wouldn't keep his eyes in a place took some steps towards Avery to get hold of her, but Avery was fast enough to wriggle out of his control, but along the process the strap of her top somehow got torn in the process, revealing more of her milky white skin.

Avery could instantly feel those lustful gazes resting upon her body. Disgust covered her nerves, but she could only adjust the torn part to cover her body even though it wasn't doing exactly what she wanted.

“Whoever sent you, must really hate me, don't you think?” Avery asked, trying to get a little bit of hope of who sent the assassins to her.

Just as she raised her left hand that covered her exposed skin to prevent unnecessary gaze from those assassins, a bang resounded and before Avery could think of anything, a bullet pierced through her wrist, which instantly made her fall to her knees.

Avery sucked in a breath of cold air as she held the bleeding wrist.

One of the assassins, precisely the captain of the mercenaries, walked closer to Avery and squatted in front of her.

He raised his fingers to brush her silky black hair and at the same time gently moved his hands to caress her skin just a few inches from her right breast as he observed her closely with a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.

“An innocent one?” The assassin called as his mouth curved into a sly smirk. He would be lying to himself if he said he wasn't aroused. He marveled at her beauty and couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

Avery pursed her lips trying to keep her breath in control despite the pain and the blood gushing out rapidly from her wrist.

The other assassins couldn't help but glance and drool upon seeing the revealing skin, even though they were trained to fight, but in matters like this, they couldn't hide their perverted and lustful thoughts and gazes.

“Boss, c ca. Can we feel her once?” One of the assassins finally gathered the courage to speak up, but as the man was about to speak, his phone began ringing.

“Hello miss, we've gotten hold of her, we were just waiting for your final decision.” The captain spoke up and almost immediately the phone was put on speaker.

“Sister, how did you feel seeing how I and your husband had raw sex on your matrimonial bed?”

“Does it clash with your ego?”

“Anyway, leave him for me. I'll take care of him more than you could ever imagine, sis!”

“What do you think?” The caller whose name was Isabella beamed happily as she waited for her sister's response.

“How could you do this to me? How could you think of having your way with my husband?”

“How come you have got nothing to be ashamed of, you should be ashamed of yourself for sleeping with your sister's husband!” Avery snapped angrily.

“Well, you won't blame me, you always wanted the good parts for yourself which I can't take anymore. I need and crave good things!”

“Besides, I'm sure you weren't able to satisfy Jake, which is why he chose to have an affair with me. So sis, leave Jake to me, it's mine this life, maybe in your next life. Anyway, who knows whether he'll still choose me over you!” Isabella said before bursting into laughter.

When Avery heard the word “Next life” she couldn't help but think the words were a little bit heavy and held a meaningful meaning, which was why she waited for the ending of the conversation.

“Goodbye sis, I'll take care of your husband for you, I'll make sure I feed him well in bed and normal food!” Isabella said, laughing at the joke she cracked to herself.

Avery didn't know what to do as the words were more than clear to her, which made her smile beneath the pain.

“Kill her and get your remaining balance!” Isabella ordered instantly before hanging up the call.

“Boss, she seems dead…” one of the men trailed off when he noticed Avery's body jerking abnormally before her chest seemed to have risen and fallen as she laid on the ground emotionless after being shot in her chest.

The man who seemed to be the boss and wouldn't stop lusting over Avery's body said that he had to walk to confirm whether she was truly dead.

“ She is dead,” he confirmed after thoroughly checking on her breathing, and with that, he turned around and started walking towards the bike with his other men.
