Zayn POV
I honked repeatedly, but the person didn't make an attempt of moving.
F**k!
Someone really wants to die.I stepped on the brakes and pushed the side door open. “Do you want to die?!” I roared immediately I stepped out of the car.
I marched furiously towards the person and to my utmost surprise; It was a lady.
A lady dressed in black outfit.
“Please I prefer not to die” She said frantically, I huffed. “Then get the f**k out of my way!” I yelled, she cringed a little.
“Please help me sir, I need to leave this place,” She begged as she rubbed her palms together. “And who do you think I am? A good Samaritan?” I asked nonchalantly, she slowly looked away from my face and counted her steps backward. Good.
I walked back to my car and pulled it open; I glanced towards the lady's direction and breathe out. Furthermore, I shut the car door and strode towards her again. “Where are you going?” I asked her, trying to sound cool.
“I don't know sir, I just want to run away from them; I'm tired of being a widow and I want to avoid getting married again” She rushed her words, fighting her tears.
“Hold on…” I paused to scrutinize her, “you're a widow” I asked her, dimly, she nodded curtly, and I swallowed.
Even through the darkness, I could tell she's still very young to be a widow.
“You will explain further later but for now, I'm rushing; so let's go” I urged her and walk ahead.
Are you really going to help her? My subconscious mind whispers to my ear and I scoffed softly.
I got behind the wheel and ignited the engine, but the lady in black hasn't come in.
I winded down the glass and saw her standing like a plaque close to the car, I frowned, “Do you want me to change my mind?” I asked her hoarsely, and she quickly pulled the car door and hopped in.
Shortly,
I parked the car carelessly and shove a hand into my hair and turned to the lady in black on the passenger seat.“You should wait here, I will be back,” I instructed before stepping out of the car.
I adjusted my red jacket and walked towards the building.“You are late, Zayn,” Reid says as soon as I approached him on the stairs.
Yeah… I met a lost widow on my way here and decided to help her. I secretly rolled my eyes at my supposed answer.
“Where's he?” I asked him instead as I climbed the stairs. “He's in the guest room,” He replied as we both ascended the stairs.
Reid opened the door, I entered, he followed.
A smirk run upon my lips immediately I sight him on a chair with his hands tied to his back.
“You are going to regret this Zayn” He snorted, I let out a small laugh.
I sat on a stool across him and dug my left hand inside my jacket trouser to fetch my cigarette pack. I pulled one of the cigarette and place it in between my lips as I collected a lighter from Reid. “Are you threatening me now?” I asked him as I puffed out the smoke to his face, he let out a small cough.
“I'm only giving you ten seconds buddy, if you don't tell me who the f**k gave out the information to William then you won't leave me no other choice but to blow your dumb skull I threatened, he laughed hysterically.
Reid and I exchanged a look. Is he okay?
“Even if you place a knife to my throat now, I will never tell you,” He said bluntly, and I shook my head.
I rise to my feet with the cigarette in my hand. “You really have nothing to say, right?” I asked him, but he just stared at him.
“I knew all along you will prove this stubborn but don't worry, your case is closed already” I told him and stretches my left hand to Reid without looking at him. “Zayn, you should calm…” “Give it to me, Reid” I butt in, he sighed loudly before placing it in my hand.
I place the cigarette in between my lips and cocked the short gun. “And for the last time, do you have something to say?" I asked him as I pressed the gun to his head,, but he just glared at me. “Alright then, you should rest in pieces” I told him as I pulled the trigger, he fell to the floor with the chair, unconsciously.
“You shouldn't have killed him, Zayn, we could still persuade him. How do we get to know the person now?” Reid says frantically, I huffed. “F**k that Reid! Does he look like someone who was ready to confess?” I asked him agitated, he slowly shook his head.
“Take care of this mess” I instructed as I ran a hand through my hair. I smoke from the cigarette and stepped out of the room.
Flora POV
I sat patiently in the car as I wait for him.
He should come out already, everywhere was damn silent.But hold on… Where's this place?
His girlfriend's house?Was that the reason he asked me to wait behind?Cut the crap Flora and think… My subconscious mind cautions and I breathe out.
Someone opened the car and I jolted out of my thoughts.
Oh… It was him.
He has a lighted cigarette in his lips.
I watched him as he pulled his red jacket and tossed it backward.Okay,
What's he doing?He removed the cigarette from his lips and threw it out the window of the car.
Hold on, his arm is inked. Wow…
He puffed out smoke and I couldn't help but coughed loudly, but he didn't even spare me a glance.
He ignited the car and sped into the dark night, and I watched as he drove like a maniac.
Alright,
This won't be good.Zayn POVAfter two weeks…“The court hereby sentence you, Ryder Gabriel, to life imprisonment for murdering Xavier Gabriel. And also, for attempting to kill Zayn Christopher by removing his car brakes which caused him to lose a friend, Violet Caleb” The judge declared which made his Mum to wailed uncontrollably.“And you, Thomas Owen, this court sentence you to life imprisonment for the murder of late Christopher Nolan- your best friend, as stated” The court continues.Thomas wife and his two children busted in tears and I just gave them a hard stare- Fools.The judge pause to stare at William.“William Winters” The judge called.“You ought to die according to the law because you were once a hardened criminal, a hired assassin at that” The judge says.I heard a soft whimper behind me and I turned to see Flora and her mum crying already.Flora met my eyes and look away
Flora POV“Come back here Ryder” Reid mimics Aunt Marigold, and we'll erupt in laughter.“You're not nice, Reid” I told him amidst laughter.“I never claimed to be” He shrugs.I rolled my eyes.We just arrived home from Gabriel's mansion.It's really a great day, I must say.I'm so happy Ryder is eventually behind the bar.Now I feel Violet and Xavier would rest in peace.“And what could she be smiling at?” Zayn asked beside me, nudging my arm.I chuckle softly and turned my head to look at him.“Thank you so much” I told him sincerely, and he arched a brow.I smile.“I knew you wanted to kill Ryder with your hands” He rolled his eyes funnily.“I'm glad you know that princess, but it's nothing- anything for you” He said with so much love, but I just smile as we stare at each other eyes.I'm sure some seco
Zayn POVI unfolded my hands on my chest and breathe out softly.Flora's mum just finished narrating everything in details and believe me, my heart became softened a bit towards William.He looked to my side and smile like he heard my thoughts.“I'm sorry about everything” I apologized sincerely, staring at the center table in the sitting room.“It's fine Zayn” William says, standing on his feet.“I'm sorry as well” He added as he stands close to me.I stood on my feet and we both shook hands.“Well… You really have to be sorry because it's not like you've any other choice” Reid said.“Except if you're letting Flora go” He added, flatly.“Don't even go there man” I cautioned.I took my eyes to where Flora is sitting.“Flora and I stuck together, so we're never letting each go”Flora cheeks flames and I w
Flora POV“You really won't tell me what it is?” Zayn says.I covered him with the duvet properly and sit close to him on the bed.He just had his medicines and I changed his bandage. The Doctor had instructed we should always change it both in the morning and night and under no circumstances must he misses his medicines, so he would recover speedily.He stares at my eyes intensely, I blinked my eyes and look elsewhere.Reid had told me not to say anything to him about Violet's death yet and seriously, I don't know how to tell him things because I feel like Violet saved Zayn's life.“The doctor said you need excess rest, Zayn” I reminded, and he just scoffed softly.“Where's Violet?” He asked again.I sighed softly and smile down at him.“Reid will answer that” I told him and stood up from the bed.“Goodnight Zayn” I leaned down and pecked his cheek.He crumpl
Reid POVI pulled up in the hospital garage and stepped out of the car. I walk towards the hospital entrance but to my surprise, I saw William walking out of the hospital with a guy I recognize following behind him.He also stopped walking immediately he saw me.What's he doing here? I thought as we both stare at each other.Some seconds passed,He looks away from my figure and walk away with the guy following behind him.What was he doing here?I watch him until he hopped into his car and drove out of the garage.I shrugged and finally find my way into the hospital.****I walk into Zayn's ward and my lips curved to a little smile. Flora and her Mum are sitting very close to Zayn's bed.I must say Flora looks so happy as she stared directly at Zayn's face, I'm glad, though.I cleared my throat to announce my presence and they both look up with a bright smile on their faces.“Morning aunt”
Flora POVI paved the reception frantically with numerous thoughts running through my head.The doctor has been with Zayn for the past one hour, and he's yet to tell us something about his state.“Your worried state won't help Flora” Mum say as she walks after me.Dad and David already left for some urgent work.“Then what should I do?” I turned to her and asked, tears are forming in my eyes.“Let's just hope for a better result, I believe they'll be fine” Mum assures, tapping my back tenderly.I look at her and forced a short nod.“You need to go home and have your dress change” Mum said after a brief silence.I just shook my head sideways- I'm not leaving Zayn. “Your dress is stained Flora” She said again. Dad also said the same thing before he left, but I do not care.I placed my head on mum's shoulder,still waiting for the Doctor- I c
