! WARNING!The chapter may include extreme physical torture and a thirst for vengeance that may trigger a traumatic experience for the readers. MAX’S POVI feel like a maniac right now, so powerful. Looking at their crying faces is just satisfying. Yet, they just arrived though so why make it louder then? But it’s no fun if I would just pick up anything from the table and do it myself. That’s when I thought of the idea of betting a thousand dollars on the first person in this room that can shoot one of them in the leg. A bullet in the leg can only paralyze them. It can’t kill them. “Let’s turn on some music, shall we?” I walked near the speaker by the TV and had it on full volume. “So who will be the first? Or do you want me to give a higher price for that?” I asked them as I sat on the single sofa that was placed right in front of the rectangular center table’s end. I looked at Larissa’s face who was mumbling something but couldn’t hear because of the music.I signaled one of the
LARISSA’S POVLooks like I was not exactly prepared for what was about to happen until now. I was suddenly taken away from my party just when I saw an interesting guy eyeing me. It turns out that he was one of them and I took the bait. I was unconscious for a while and I just woke up when I felt like someone was shaking me. I opened my eyes and I saw a man on top of me naked, thrusting back and forth until he was satisfied. I couldn’t focus on what was happening in front of me, I rather look around when I could only see myself inside a storage room. There was not much space for me to even move nor my hand could even have the strength to grab something to fight back. All I can do now is wait. Though how long I have waited feels like forever, especially when there were more of them. I remembered Ken warning me about this but I was stubborn.“Larissa! You don’t know who you’re dealing with! Who knows who Amaya is friends with?!” Ken suddenly shouted inside our apartment after spacing o
AMAYA’S POV I don’t know why I get really anxious with those men when they don’t even seem to harm someone. They were patient with me and was respecting my demands at all costs. But I would always get startled whenever that man suddenly caress my hair while I pretend to be asleep. I tend to wake up at any movements or sounds I hear and as much as I don’t want them to disturb me, it always does. Just like tonight, I heard the door click and noticed a couple of huge shadows looking in my direction. I tried my best not to move for them to notice that I was awake. They weren’t talking at first, but when the other one moved out and walked back in, and was permitted to leave, the next thing I heard was a huge thud on the door and the sound of a man trying to wake up someone named, Flynn. I was guessing that there were a total of three people who owned those shadows and there was only one left. He was now breathing so fast that he sounded like me the first time I woke up with no idea how I
AMAYA’S POVMy question doesn’t seem to faze Ken and just stayed silent the whole time.“I don’t know which devil threatened you not to say anything to me when we both know who the real mistress of evil is. Ken, I want you to be on my side. We can stop whatever it is that she might do to other people.” I said to him while I tried my best to get a single reply from him. But at each minute he stands in front of me without saying anything just pisses me off.“Ken! Talk to me!” I shouted at him which made my blood pressure raise and alarmed my nurse who immediately came to my aid.“Everything has been handled already, Amaya. There is nothing for you to worry about anymore. But if you do want to know what else you could do, is just to make a deal with someone and free that person. I promise you that we will never bother you again-” He was suddenly cut off when Flynn arrived in my room to check on me. He just closed his eyes and waited for everyone to leave.Now I am just even more curious
MAX’S POV Now that Amaya can remember everything, I felt threatened by Flynn’s presence. I know that at first, I may have been okay with it, but right now I am definitely not. His habit of holding Amaya’s hand every night and falling asleep came back. Her anxiety comes back from time to time but she knows when it is us so she can relax. Though right now, when I saw Flynn like that with Amaya caressing his hair- I felt like I wanted to be in his position instead. But who am I to interrupt? I continued walking in as Amaya saw me and smiled. I moved closer to her as we greeted each other with a kiss on each other’s cheek. She doesn’t seem bothered by it but I was- I wanted to slap Flynn’s face awake. I wanted him out of the city right now. “I’m sorry if our wedding had to get delayed because of what happened to me. I hope you weren’t too excited that it got you disappointed.” Amaya sometimes could talk immaturely, she doesn’t realize it but I find it cute that she loses her cool. She
AMAYA’S POV After Conan’s funeral, Malia refused to come along with Flynn and me so we left her alone. We can’t force her to come and thought she needed that time. I tried as much as possible to stay with her now but with Max in the hospital as well, I can’t help but sympathize with her. Whenever she’s ready. Flynn and I went to a coffee shop to talk. I wanted to thank him for caring for me the whole time I was in a coma until I recovered. He never gave up on me.While I was waiting for him to take our orders from the counter I couldn’t help but admire him. He’s very dependable and as far as I know, has been a great person. When he arrived at our table and slowly placed the coffee and donuts, he seemed so gentle. Especially when he reminded me to be careful because it was hot. Well, that was supposed to be expected right? I mean Max would probably do the same thing.“You know that I owe you a lot right?” I asked looking at him getting comfortable in his seat.“Yeah, I know but please
AMAYA’S POVAfter Max’s recovery, I suggested that he stay with me in the meantime since Malia took a break back in LA and no one can take care of him. It was great having him around as I returned to work being so busy. It has been three days now and I still haven’t stabilized everything especially when Vanique has been trying to control my workload because of my condition. But there was something odd that I had noticed lately, Hugo tends to visit here constantly. I remembered the time when Ken got angry with Max and Hugo which may be related to Vanique. So I scheduled a dinner date with my sister alone to talk about the things I missed in her life. Noah offered to drive us to the restaurant while Max was on his way to visit his friend, Ace. Though as we were inside the car, Vanique and Noah didn’t even talk to each other. It was the first time I felt awkward being around them because they were always energetic and had something to talk about. Since they got married, it never changed
Disclaimer! This Chapter may consist of a majority of conversations between the main characters to improve the relationship by communicating that there may be fewer details. AMAYA’S POV Since we were already awake, Max and I talked a lot. “I– I don’t know what to say. It’s just that ever since those terrible days, I started being doubtful of my decisions. I was once confident with it and could easily trust people but now, it’s as if the old me was taken away.” I said as I leaned my head to Max’s chest while his back was against the headboard. “Trust me, I won’t do something reckless anymore so you can relax and tell me whenever you need my help. You’ve been so independent most of your life and you’ve managed to influence people with that kind of behavior by trusting them yet maybe this is the time was your chance to be vulnerable too, and being one is not bad. Having something to fear is not the end of your life, it’s normal. You just needed to be with the right people.” “When
