51. Runner up

Chapter 51 En route, the car stopped. The engine died, but it was a saving grace to me. This was my opportunity to escape Victor. I didn't have any option anymore. I'd rather be in the woods than be with him. Before I could brace myself, something slammed into the side of the SUV. Metal screeched. "Shit," I cried, as my stomach jammed against the car seat. I looked back. The second vehicle had rolled to a stop, its front tire blown. A guard stumbled out, clutching his arm. Then the third car. The same thing. "What's happening?" I whispered. The door opened. Cold air rushed in. It smelled like pine. "We're here," Victor said. I forced a smile at him. To survive, I had to step up and play along. I stepped out. My legs nearly gave way. One of the men caught my arm, steadied me, then let go like I was contaminated. I huffed and turned to run. A hand grabbed my wrist. Hard. "Going somewhere?" The guard's voice was low. His grip was strong. I froze. Slowly, I felt Victo

52. Forty-Seven

Chapter 52Eva's PovI bolted toward the door once she said those words. No. I couldn't stay here. Not one more minute, or one more breath. I didn't mind leaving with Victor, doing his bidding, but not here.I moved fast despite the bandage pulling at my stomach.Christy, she didn't even notice me leaving. One second she had just finished speaking to me and the next second her eyes were closed, and her lips were moving like she was praying or counting. Whatever it was, I couldn't tell.I reached for the door and turned the handle.It opened, thank goodness. Outside, the hallway was empty. I had expected to see Victor and the doctor. It hadn't even been thirty seconds since they left the room. I wanted to beg him not to leave without me. But he wasn't there. My mind went back to the dead girls, killed brutally. "Hey, you shouldn't be out there."Christy's voice suddenly called from inside. How had I forgotten about her existence so fast? Without thinking, I turned the lock from outsid

53. Forty-Seven Chimes

Chapter 53Eva's Pov…I opened my eyes and struggled to my feet from the ground. My heart pulsed. I had thought today was my end. I looked around the room blindly."Who's there?" My voice cracked, I braced myself for whatever that was and whoever touched me."Hello…" I had expected the ladies from earlier to follow me into the room, but they didn't and then, at that moment, I heard a small sound, it sounded like a sniffle."Hello?" I called again and reached out. My hand touched a hair, it was soft and braided."Please don't hurt me." A child's voice begged. It cracked, I could feel her shaking."I won't." I pulled back. "I'm not... I'm not one of them.""Everyone says that, before they report me to the lord." I blinked, trying to see, and slowly, I was able to make out a small shape, curled against the wall. Something moved beside her… it was a cat, an orange cat and its eyes glowed in the dark."I'm Eva." My voice was barely a whisper. "What's your name?""Lily." She swallowed and

54: The Hand

Chapter 54Eva's PovI didn't lower my hands. My heart was a fist pounding against my ribs."Turn around. Slowly."I turned. I was scared out of my wits. Didn't know what I was expecting, but turned.A guard stood ten feet away, his gun aimed at my chest. His face was stone and his finger was on the trigger.Behind him, more security guards appeared. The world zoomed in and out. Was this how I die?"I'm sorry," I said to the guards."There had been a mix up. I'm not supposed to be here and was mistakenly brought in. I promise I won't cause any problems, just let me go. I didn't see anything." They didn't say anything and remained that way, like they were waiting for someone, and soon, I heard footsteps. I closed my eyes, expecting the worst, only to raise my head and discover it was Victor.I ran towards him immediately, but before I could get close, he stretched his hands out to me."Eva." He said my name with a sigh. His hands went to his temples."You're making this very difficult.

55. The Walls Have Ears

Chapter 55Eva's PovThe hand pulled me in and I landed on something soft.A hand clamped over my mouth again."What the hell? Why am I cursed with such fate as this today.""Don't scream." It was Marco. I knew his voice, it was too soft and feminine.I sagged against him, my heart a trapped bird."You're dead." I whispered it into his palm."Very much alive." He pulled his hand away."They're searching for you Marco, you need to find a way and leave here with Lily. This is the devil's hole. Take Lily far away from here and alert the police of your discovery." He was silent for a while."It's not as easy as you make it sound, Eva." I pulled away from him."Where are we? I can't trust walls and paintings anymore, and how did you know I was the one outside?""We are in the walls." He struck a match. Lily's cat was by his leg.A small flame flickered, casting shadows on narrow wooden beams. We were in a tunnel, filled with cobwebs. The air was cold and stale."This house was built by a p

56. The other Brother.

Chapter 56Eva's PovI waited for death. For my windpipe to crush. But nothing came. I was still struggling to breathe.Marco's grip held firm, but his thumb pressed against my pulse. Like his intention wasn't to kill me. It felt like he was confirming if I was still breathing."Please don't kill me," I whimpered. I didn't know why the words came out. But his fingers weren't pressing my throat tighter anymore. They were just holding.His lips brushed my ear. "Someone's in the tunnel behind us. Three feet away. Don't look."My body froze. This was just an act. I felt relieved and worried at the same time."She's pretty. I'd keep her too." His voice was loud now. It was just a performance. "Dante will enjoy breaking you."Footsteps. Slow. Deliberate. Just beyond the darkness.Then a shadow passed. It was a guard. His flashlight swept the tunnel. Probably a new guard. The beam landed on Marco's back. On his hand around my throat.The guard laughed. "Having fun, Marco?" My face fell. Is t

57. People who know my name dies -Dante

Chapter 57Eva's PovI couldn't focus on the wound and just stared at the man before me. Never. How can Dante be Adrian's brother? No. Adrian had only one brother, Elliot."You're bleeding." He got to his feet and walked closer to me."Let me see." But I pulled myself away from him. He rolled up his sleeves and turned around."Alright die if you want to. I'd love to watch that unfold."How ruthless."People die every day." The pain shot through my stomach. I watched him slowly as he walked towards a mini bar set up at the end of the room.After searching for a while, he grabbed an oddly shaped bottle of whiskey and poured. It had the exact colour of blood. He smiled at me now."I believe you've heard a lot about me. But I can tell you something for free, if you care to listen. It's all lies." He laughed."I heard Adrian was dying." He shook his head, dropped the whiskey and walked to the window."I never knew one day, a lowly girl like you would bring the immortal Adrian to his knees.

58. The Twins

Chapter 58Eva's PovThe screen went black. But the image didn't leave my eyes. I kept seeing the blood over and over again. Marco was killed brutally.I pressed my palms against my eyes, and the tears came freely. He was dead because of me.I curled into myself on the cold floor. My wound throbbed. My throat burned from Dante's grip. My nails dug into my palms, the pain grounding me.The sun had set now and Dante didn't step out. He left me here to die, so what was the essence of trying to save me? Marco's pleas still haunted me."Please, I have a niece. She's just a child…"The gun fired again in my head.I screamed into my hands, the sob vibrating through my body. This was my life now. My life since the contract ended with Adrian, four months ago. Watching death on repeat.I struggled to sit up, but I couldn't. I was waiting for Dante to decide my fate. And Adrian. I had tried to forget him during the past days, but now I couldn't help but think about him.What if he doesn't wake u

59. The price of Escape.

Chapter 59Eva's PovI looked up and saw Dante staring at me. His arms were crossed and his mask glinted in the moonlight."Argh." I yelled in pure terror. What had I done? How unfortunate am I? This was really terrible and at the same time very embarrassing.Dante laughed. It wasn't a small laugh. It was a deep, roaring laugh that filled the room. His shoulders shook and his head tilted back. He was enjoying this, like I was in a comedy show for him."You thought," he said between breaths, "you could escape. Through my bedroom." He laughed again.“I see you didn't learn from Marco’s death and want to end up like him.”I scrambled off the bed. My legs gave way and I fell again. My wound hurt, I almost screamed, but to avoid Dante's laugh, I pushed it down. But I couldn't stand for a while as the pain shot through every part of my body.Dante stopped laughing and walked toward me, slowly."I've been watching you run through those halls for ten minutes. I believe Marco also told you I s

60. Who died for me? Are you Jesus?

Chapter 60Eva's PovWhen I opened my eyes, I thought I had died and was in the place of the saints.The ceiling above me was glass, but not ordinary glass, this was stained with swirls of blue, gold and soft pink, like someone had painted the sky and let it harden. Sunlight poured through it, warm and golden, spreading across the room.I blinked. Waiting for the pain, but it didn't come.My body felt light. The mattress beneath me was soft, too soft. It had been a while since I slept on something like this. It had soothing velvet sheets. I sat up slowly and the room stretched around me. It was enormous, with tall ceilings and wooden beams carved into flowers.The walls were painted cream. Was I still in this hell hole? Because this place was too beautiful..The room had large windows lined on one side, open enough to let in a breeze. The curtains were sheer.I crawled to the edge of the bed and pressed my face to the glass. We were high. Higher than any floor I had seen. The garden b
