One week later
The punishment for Camilo was over, but not for us, which is stressful, to keep listening to them fighting with each other is exhausting, they are like little kids.Which at the same time made me want to know more about why they hate each other so much. With the time doing the punishments and the multiple tasks to do, I have not been able to talk to Aninka, but today she would come to my house to "study". Where we would know we would do everything but study, since my brother's friends will be here too, and where Viktor is, Aninka can't concentrate."Sofia, Aninka come down please!" my brother shouted from the second floor."Let's see what stupidity he comes up with" I said to Aninka.She just smiled and we set out to go downstairs.Just when we were half way down the stairs talking to each other we see or rather I see someone unpleasant; Esteban Bogdanov."Well, what are you doing here?""I can't let my sister sleep with these bastards, they can try anything against her, so..." He says controlling his laughter "I can't let her be alone."Aninka and I rolled our eyes, I knew his real intention was to annoy the others and boy did he succeed. At least with me."Hi Sofia, you look very beautiful today, you know." says Daniel.He turned to look at that boy to answer him indifferently but my brother interrupts him."Well, well, well, well careful with my sister, her temper is the worst you can meet, she is very" He started to count with his fingers "old-fashioned, boring, rude, grumpy, blackmailer, conflictive....I just stopped when I noticed my murderous glare at him."But good people the girl, very good people, sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve such an attentive, caring, detail oriented, intelligent sister" He counted again with his fingers.I signaled him by taking my thumb to my neck from right to left, giving him a sign that I was dead.He reacted automatically, placing both hands to his neck in terror.It would be impossible to deny that I love to strike fear into my brother, so his response brought me satisfaction.I'm bad I know, though I don't care what he said about me, they look so cute being submissive, being my slave, to beg my forgiveness."Anyway" interrupts Viktor as he comes into the room "Let's play truth or dare.""Hey we're too old for this" complains Camilo entering the place.Damn, they're all in my house. I hope the love and hate they have for each other doesn't destroy the house."To tell you the truth, no one invited you to come and now to play. So" sighs Luka "You can leave the way you came.""You...""Whatever. Shall we play?" interrupts David as he sees how it could all end."No, that game is too childish.""Are you afraid they'll know or touch you to do something you don't want to?" Viktor said in a mocking tone."No shit" Said Camilo receiving the challenge" He got in.Viktor smiled victoriously, seeing that he achieved his goal."Who else plays?"Michael, Luka, David and Aninka raised their hands."Well guys, you should play too, so what are you waiting for?" said David looking at Esteban and Daniel."That's a kids game, grow up!" complained Esteban.Daniel and David ignored him, only to focus their attention on me."I only play if you play" says Daniel and I find it impossible for my cheeks not to blush. And these increase more as I notice that we are the center of attention.His gaze captivated me for the first time and for a moment, I was able to analyze his beautiful gaze. He smiled which caused me to unconsciously look at his lips, this gives me a bad feeling."Come on, let's go" David was telling me pulling me to the round they had made on the floor.I just resigned myself and went to play, which led to Daniel and Esteban who weren't too convinced to play, they did."Okay" Said Viktor taking a bottle "tip, do and base of the bottle send to do."They all assisted.On the wheel we were Daniel on my right side and Aninka on my left side, but to my misfortune David was in front of me. So mentally I just prayed that David would not touch me at some point because that would be his moment of revenge.
Other brothers would protect their sisters, but David is different, I don't know if it's because I always get my way, I make him be my slave when he makes me mad, or because when he has introduced me to his girlfriends I make him feel sorry for me, but other than that I don't do anything wrong.I don't understand why he takes every chance he gets to get revenge, a revenge that has no basis. Or something like that.He rolled the bottle, leaving it stung on Aninka and base to Michael."Truth or dare?" asked Michael."Truth" Aninka replied instantly."Do you like anyone this round?""Yes" She replied blushing.I rolled my eyes... Goodness that was so obvious.The next round was stung for me and base on David. Just what I didn't want."Okay, sis" Says David happily "Truth or dare?""Dare" He replied nonchalantly."Good He smiled looking at Daniel, smiling this one at the same time" I dare you to kiss him on the mouth.Shit...I watched as everyone laughed except for Esteban, Aninka and me."Wow, look how pale you've gone" Michael says mocking.Obvious I would turn pale, I'm going to give my first kiss because of this stupid game and my stupid brother's revenge, did I already mentioned that this revenge is baseless?"Come on, we don't have all day" Viktor said dead laughing."Fine, let's go out" I said so that being outside convincing Daniel that we didn't."No, no, no, no miss" Viktor said "It has to be here, between all of us to find out if you did it or not.""Don't you trust me?"They all answered in unison a No.'God from this one I wouldn't be saved...' I thought 'Fuck everything here we go.'I quickly moved closer to Daniel who, even though he was next to me, I would need to get closer to kiss him and so I did, I don't know how long we lasted, I just felt his soft lips joining the sway of mine.And I must admit that, although I had no interest at the beginning I did enjoy it until the end."Come on now" Viktor said teasingly "Don't devour each other, not yet."And it was there, that I felt my face go up in flames, God, this is what I get for this hanging out with these guys.More turns followed causing Viktor and Aninka to kiss, as well as Aninka and David, an uninteresting Camilo truth and the last turn before I stopped playing if it was interesting.It was my turn to send David and I couldn't miss this opportunity, so as choosing truth with me was going to cause me to ask him something embarrassing 'since I knew his Achilles heel' he decided for dare.But, I immediately had an amazing, embarrassing and vindictive idea for two of the people involved, in short killing two birds with one stone.I sent David to kiss Esteban with tongue included and that was a challenge that the others did not expect, or so said their faces of astonishment and why not? Excitement."This is going to be good, my cute little brother. I dare you to have a kiss with Esteban that includes tongue."They glared at me with their eyes."No, no way" Esteban shouted getting up from the circle" This is what I get for playing with his bullshit."Come on Esteban, don't tell me you don't have your sexuality defined and you think a kiss with my brother will make you define it towards men" I mocked."You're crazy fresita, that's not why!" I yell."Then prove me otherwise, you little chicken" I said defiantly.To which he moved closer to David, causing David to pull back and deny over and over again, but it was too late I was already kissing him.Our dresses were very different. Aninka's looked like a princess, so big and with so much fabric to the point of her skirt and veil, dragging the place down. Mine, on the other hand, was simple. A dress with long sleeves and bare shoulders. With a fabric that clung to my body and stretched to the end of my feet.We were two opposing brides, one overdressed and one simple, at the wedding Aninka wanted: big and with guests I've never seen, but I know they are businessmen. Something that helps her fulfill that wish of Aninka's about having a big wedding. Where I could barely keep up with her and as soon as we get married I will run away. So many people overwhelm me.The two of us, we walk towards the man who will be our husband. The walk, quiet and slow, helps me remember everything we went through to get here. From the scorn, kidnappings, deaths and estrangement we lived through, to the good times and how we supported each other when it was necessary.Our relationship w
I knew the news had come as a surprise to both of them. But, I didn't know how they would react to it. And there was no time to back out now. I had given the news in a nervous shock. Esteban, immediately hugged me, while David, put away his gun."I can't lose them. I couldn't go on knowing they were dead. I can't fire anyone anymore." he whispered."It's okay. Don't worry. It'll just be this moment and it'll all be over.""You don't need to expose yourselves anymore. We can...""Go take her somewhere safe. I'll handle this." says David and I deny."I want them both to be okay" I say and Stephen nods."Everything will be fine, just, go get the boys to take you home safely and we'll come after.""No, I'm not going to leave them."Esteban brings his hands to his neck and removes the chain from where he pulls the ring he gave me over two years ago."This is my promise that I will come back alive. We will come back alive. But, we can only do t
'Well, that's partly your fault, Sofia. Are you going to ignore your responsibility in this?' my mind chides me 'You want it too, make the most of it.'Knowing what I want and that nothing will change if I don't want it, I open the shower door and he turns his body showing me the source of his problem."Get out, Sofia. I have things to do" Esteban says frustrated and I walk over to him, backing him up until I reach the wall he had used to hit himself."I can help you with that. I'm partly to blame for that" I say taking his hand which I place on my chest."Sofia, you're playing with fire.""We're underwater, fire isn't going to burn us here. So what are you going to do?" I ask and the next second, it's me against the wall, my dress torn and him, lifting one of my legs."Are you sure about this?" asks Esteban in a hoarse voice."And you are?" I ask challenging him and he smiles at me making a single movement that makes me stifle a moan."I am"
Five months laterHow naive I was to believe that I could leave or that I could help them. I was foolish to think that leaving here was possible and so, I was once again locked in the room that looks like a huge cage.After all, trying to escape through the air ducts because I wanted to get my life back ended up in the foiled plan that Esteban easily destroyed.Nor, escaping through the back door or another exit, was impossible because I didn't have the access code. And even going to the garden didn't give me any chance of leaving, because the place is so heavily guarded that it is impossible to take a step without my brother and Esteban knowing.But, since I tried to use knives from the kitchen to threaten the others to be released, I am now locked in the room, while the guys have focused on capturing the damn man they still haven't killed."Please let me out. I promise I won't do anything crazy." I ask bored from already being locked up for two weeks. Wher
Sofia narratesI was nervous, there weren't as many people as when Mordashov was killed. But, still, I was afraid. The possibility of seeing them get hurt or killed while I'm a dumb spectator, it's not pleasant.Quickly, she walked to the closet where Esteban took out his weapons and taking a long-range one, she looked for a place where she could use it.One thing that certainly shows that I'm in a big cage is that the window doesn't open. It is only a kind of material that is not glass or other fragile material, but I doubt it is iron because of how transparent the window is, impossible to break.Annoyed, I look all over the place for a spot where I can take out a part of my gun to shoot, fortunately, in the bathroom, I find a small hole where I place the gun looking slightly outward.The guys had already gotten out of their cars and were shooting incessantly. So, I had to hurry. A girl who had gone three years without using a gun was now going to do it to
The kiss was deep, something they had both missed doing and that was why Sofia was upset.'Why did she have to desire someone who had decided to leave? Why on earth would she enjoy lips she had been so determined to forget and a single second all effort went down the drain?' mentally wondered Sofia.Sofia moved her face to interrupt the kiss and with tears running down her cheeks and a pain in her throat, she spoke to him.'Why do you play with me like this? You arrive, you get my hopes up and you leave. Yours, Esteban, is not love, it's a damned emotional tourism that always takes me to the edge of the abyss that I strive not to fall.""It's not like that, Sofia.""Yes it is, Esteban. You supported me to the point of confusing me so much and believing you had changed. But, look at you, Esteban. This was what you wanted," Sofia says painfully and Esteban walks away."I left because if I didn't, they would come for you. They would because this never ends
