Wedding Invitation

“Love or life?"

That man, Shane's entire body turned numb at his words, knowing what exactly he meant by them.

"Kill your love, right here right now if you want to live your life?" He venomously uttered and then took out another gun from his pants' pocket.

“Take your love’s life if you want to save yours,” he extended his gun to that startled man,

Shane's eyes filled with tears of fear for his own life whereas his girlfriend looked at him shocked and numbed.

"I am giving you 3 seconds to choose. If you choose your love, then she's going to walk out of this place, safe and sound, but you will be dead, but if you choose your life….then you have to take her life and then you're going to be out of this place, instead of her,"

Every single person looked at him totally horrified, after hearing him.

"So choose because if you didn't... " He spoke and then pressed the gun harder against Shane's head.

"In the 4th second, I'll take both of your lives and then you both can love each other forever, but not in this life," He hoarsely chuckled, and then he loaded his gun whereas the couple stared at him like statues.

"So choose.....Love or Life....? " He uttered and trailed his eyes at that woman, who was gazing at her boyfriend and was shedding her tears, which made him grin more wickedly.

"Three.... "

The man, Shane, got petrified at his countdown. A cold sweat formed on his forehead in fear.

"Two..."

Shane shut his eyes tightly and fisted his palms, hearing him touching the trigger.

"O.... "

"Life.... "

He removed his finger away from the trigger after hearing Shane’s answer, and then he gazed at that woman, whose eyes turned red with tears after hearing her boyfriend's words.

"So , you choose your life... Hmmm...? Much needed choice.... " He uttered, sarcastically and then extended the gun to him again.

"So, now end your love... "

Shane swallowed hard. With his quivering hands, took the gun from his hand and then glanced at his girlfriend, who was already looking at him completely shattered and in pain.

Her face had reddened with her warm tears, as she saw her boyfriend, the person she used to consider her love, whom she had loved with everything, pointing the gun at her to take her life.

Her love chose to end her for saving his own life.

Her boyfriend slowly took his watery eyes upward at her, which were still filled with fear for his own life instead of her, and then she witnessed him put his finger on the trigger, which made her close her eyes slowly and just waited for her death to take over her.

The loud banging sound of gun shooting echoed, which made some people gasp and some to scream, but her eyes shot open again when she heard that painful groaning of Shane's.

Her eyes widened in fear whereas her soul shivered inside her body when she saw her boyfriend falling on the ground. An extreme amount of blood was oozing out of his head, which was drenching the floor, his clothes and hands.

She ran towards him and burst out in tears . She got on her knees by watching him take the last breath of his life.

"Shane, oh my God..no, Please keep your eyes open.... " She begged him while shedding tears, but her body turned numb when she saw him take a long breath before he closed his eyes forever and his body turned lifeless.

She peered at her boyfriend’s dead body, totally frozen, and then she heard those footsteps getting closer to her direction.

She slowly averted her glossy eyes upward and witnessed that cruel gaze of Shane's murderer staring at her with nothing in them, no remorse that he had just taken a human's life with his own hands.

Her eyes bored deeper into him with anger, pain, but most importantly a question of why he killed Shane when he was about to do what he had told him to do, which was reflecting in her teary eyes?

She saw him bending his head to her face. His demonic dark eyes penetrated her gaze.

"He was capable of ending any life for his own one… including his own child's life,” She heard him whispering to her in his raspy voice, which numbed her heart in horror and dread.

Shane had a child whom he was about to kill to protect his own life? She had no clue regarding this.

But how did this man know so much about Shane?

“He was not capable of loving anyone more than his own life,”

His words got painfully stabbed inside her heart because it was true... Might be the most ruthless and cruel way to find out but that was the truth, her love had chosen his life above her.

She witnessed that man leaning nearer to her ear where he breathed out those words to her.

"Love your love, the way you are insane for your life... "

That woman's blood drenched from her body, processing his words, and then she found him to lean back and gaze into her eyes with a nefarious calmness on his face, which felt fatal.

"You're free to live your life, now... " Saying that he turned around and walked out from that place like nothing happened, like he had just not taken a life but wrecked and ruined her entire existence in a split second.

Her glossy eyes continued to stare at his disappearing figure but her ears caught those words of the people around her.

"Who was he? "

"Sinister Izan Rodriguez…”

……………………

"You were not supposed to go out in this condition of yours,”

The red liquor burnt his throat, as he gulped it down whereas his lips stretched into a smirk of amusement, hearing the words of that man, who had cured his wounds.

"Your body wounds still need to be recovered, Sinister. You've just gotten out of your surgery a day ago,"

"Calm down , Elijah. He's completely fine,"Another voice joined the conversation, which made Elijah scoff and his grin to enlarge.

"But… Cyrus, he has just made a public appearance on that club where he killed that powerful businessman in front of so many people,"

That man named Cyrus sighed heavily hearing the other man, Elijah.

Cyrus sat beside Sinister, who still didn't utter a single word, but was just gazing at his palm and was sipping his glass of liquor.

"Don't worry about that. Ace and Zane have already taken care of that matter and have already made sure that nobody dares to become a witness of it, including that man's girlfriend, and that man's body is also taken care of,"

"But was it necessary to kill him?"

Elijah questioned, to which Cyrus parted his lips to answer, but stopped.

"It was.... "

Both the men got shut, hearing that raspy voice. He placed his glass down on the table, which was in front of him, and then he trailed his eyes at Elijah.

"He chose his life over his love, so I guess his life deserved to get ended , "

Elijah got stunned at his reply, which made Sinister smirk . He got up on his feet and then shoved his hands inside his pocket.

"And besides this, his girlfriend also needed to know how much her love loves her and his own life," Sinister uttered, remembering the conversation of that man, Shane, on his phone call where he was talking about killing his own daughter and her mother to save his life and reputation.

"But Sinister, there's not always a comparison between love or life," Elijah retorted back, disappointed but not surprised.

"Exactly, there should not be any comparison between love or life ," Sinister snapped back at him with his gloomy gaze.

"Because if someone claims to love someone then they should love their love more than their life, but nobody is capable of it... " Sinister spoke in his groaning voice whereas Elijah could clearly sense now he was testing his endurance, which was evident in the deadliness of his soulless stare.

"Because every single fucking person loves their life more than anything and anyone,"

Cyrus, who was sitting on the sofa, just silently heard his every word.

"But Sinister .. "

"Let it be for now, Elijah, " Cyrus spoke out, halting Elijah, as he could see Sinister's wrath had started consuming over him, which could result in so many ruinous outcomes.

He, on the other hand exhaled sharply for calming himself down and then clutched his one palm tightly, which didn't go unnoticed by Cyrus, whose brows knitted in confusion when he witnessed him holding something in between his fist..

But before he could further query, a voice spoke, grabbing everyone's attention towards it..

"Sinister! " Ace uttered, entering into the hall, followed by another man, Zane. They both were also his men, who worked for him.

"What happened, Ace? "Elijah asked by gazing at both Zane and Ace.

"That fucker, Mathew and his gang, who tried to kill Sinister that night, nearer that cemetery has arrived here in our city,”

His inky eyes turned venomous by processing those words of Ace.

"But why is he here all of a sudden?” Cyrus asked, gazing at Ace..

"For celebrating his wedding reception.... "Zane replied ,making both Cyrus and Elijah frown.

“ What? But doesn't he have a wife already and now he got married again.. ?" Elijah blurted out in disbelief ,making Ace nod.

"Yes that bastard divorced his previous wife and again got married a couple of days ago, and on the above, this time, he married a girl who is not even half of his age,"

Elijah turned stunned at Ace's words.

"And he's throwing his wedding reception tomorrow at one of Sinister's resorts.. "

Sinister gritted his teeth and his jaw got clenched, hearing Zane's words.

"And not just only this... " Zane spoke and then raised his palm where he was clutching a black square shaped card.

"He has also sent the invitation card for all of us in the name of Sinister,”

"The audacity of that fucker.... " Cyrus uttered through tightened teeth, but before he could speak out further.

"Then I think, I should give him my greetings for his newly wedded life.. "

Every single man present inside that place became silent after they heard that husky voice speaking out. He walked towards Zane and then grabbed that card from Zane's hands.

He gazed at that card in amusement and then opened that card. His firm eyes roamed over each and every word, which was written on that card but finally halted on those black bold letters, which made a ruthless grin appear on his face.
