Chapter 42: So What if I did all of It?
Alaina's POV
I screamed and screamed for him to let go of me, i felt as if my hands were going to snap out of their sockets. Finally he found a room, he threw me and I hit the floor. Hard. He locked the door and faced me, he put his hands in his pocket casually and looked outside the open window, his side view was something to die for, he's just......Beautiful, he was too handsome to be called handsome, the right term's beautiful and manly, too bad if only he doesn't consider me his enemy, if only.........
he was probably trying to control his anger, his face gave nothing away, the expression on his face was neutral, he didn't smile nor frown, not that he'll ever try to control his emotions, it comes natural to him to control them just as evil comes natural to me.
that's it about Nicholas, even when we were kids, he could be gentle this minute, brutal the next, he never ever shows what he's feeling.
"What do you want from me?" I asked, the agitation in my voice undid me, that was how scared I am of Nicholas,
I tried to calm my nerves to speak cooly, I could feel my butt go numb from where it had hit the floor. I had known nothing would go according to plan if Nicholas got involved, I can use Ava to handle Connor, but who would handle this guy?.
As if he could hear my thought, which he probably could, if he really wants to, despite the fact that I locked them, he looked at me coldly. Locking his eyes with mine, a hard stare I can't break even if I try.
I felt a chill pass over me, I shivered slightly, I got up, almost falling back again but I steadied myself, holding on to an arm chair.
"Me?, want from you?"
"I want nothing from you bitch, but you'll tell me why you're messing with Ava" Nicholas said, not even the slightest emotion showed on his face.
"Why should I tell you?" I decided not to refuse his accusations, that I did something to her. He probably knows everything anyways
"Because I'll break every damned bone in you body, and leave your slutty body in the sun. if you don't start talking." He said maintaining his tone, I shuddered hard, he would break them, and won't give me any blood for my body to heal faster, I know he'll watch me while I suffer, how my body heals itself, slowly, he'll hear my screams, and walk away, leave me to suffer my fate.
I know he will, because he had done it not once but twice. The first time when I destroyed his motorbike when we wear teenagers, after crushing my bones, he left me in the sun, I would have perished if Connor had not come to save me, I had burns all over me for the week, the second time had been more brutal, he left me in the fields after breaking my bones, in the hot sun.
Just like Connor, Nicholas has no problem with the sun, and could walk in it whenever he wants, I had suffered until Connor found me, I was burnt beyond recognition, Nicholas denied me blood for a whole week, leaving my terrible body to heal itself, Connor had begged him, and he had finally agreed, but i suffered for a whole month, before healing completely.
they were closer than I was to them, as their friend, or should I say, as Connor's friend. Nicholas had stopped being my friend since he found out my true evil nature, he had told me so in clear terms, our childhood friendship came to an end then.
I'm sure if he had known any other way to bring Connor back from his madness he wouldn't have called me here. Well that was his mistake, I'll use it, to my advantage, but for now, he had greater control, but I had an escape route. 'Ava'.
"Because I want what she has that should have been mine" I answered his question. The calmness I heard in my voice was simply amazing, I worked hard to put it there, and I love the result.
"So in order to get Connor, you plan to harm my sister in law?, in that place that day, you wanted her to get hurt or probably die right?, it had been your plan all along" Nicholas stated not asking.
"Yeah, you probably figured it all out, I made the king call you, so Ava would follow and learn of what happened to Connor, I knew she'll come looking for Connor, no matter what it takes, I just didn't expect that she'll come sooner, but it was good, my plan worked only that she didn't die!" I yelled, I was loosing it.
Calvina's POV
I knew who was calling even before I answered the phone.
"Is she out?" The man asked. Colder than usual.
"Yes, this morning" I replied.
"Start tempting her" He said.
"But what's the rush sir?, she just got out and....."
"We have no time, Jaguar wants her." He snapped. Woah, he seem really impatient.
"But....."
"You have one week" The line went off.
I stared at the phone for some minutes, something's not right, his tone and...... A week?. I better start working right now, working as Jaguar's agent has it's own benefits, but once he doesn't get what he wants, that spells doom on the person, I better really get to work.
I dropped the mop I was using, it's time to find Alaina and speak business, foreplay's Over.
Elora's POV
Mum started making preparations, I agreed to her demands, I get see tears in her eyes, so it seems I'll be getting married next Tuesday, this is so.......
Of course I still have to talk to Nicki about it......Nicki....what's he doing now, I felt the urge to speak to him, I took my phone out of my pocket, I glanced at mum as she was drawing out plan for my wedding, she was ranting about this designer she knew, that will work on my wedding dress, the shoes I'll wear and how there's so much to do but little time.
"I'll just be right back mum" I said, getting up from my chair, she nodded absently and kept ranting, I went to my room and dialed his number. He answered on the second ring.
"Hi" The voice I heard, dryed up the blood in my head, a female!, we're getting married and a female's answering his phone, what sort of man is he?. Not that he knows we're getting married though, but he had declared me, his wife to be!.
"Who's this?" I sounded angry.
"Uhm sorry, he left his phone here and...."
"Where's he?, never mind" I cut the call.
I went back to the kitchen, I was about entering the kitchen when my phone rang.
I stared at the caller, I decided to pick it, I should give him a piece of my breaking heart. I was so angry.
"Uhm, hi again" It's the same feminine voice again, my blood ran cold.
"Yes?" I asked coldly
"Uhm Elora?" She asked Cautiously
"Who the hell are you?, what right do you have to say my name?" I said furiously, mum looked up, furrowing her brows, I looked away from her.
"I'm Sorry, I didn't know you won't like it if I call you by your name" she said softly, is she out of her mind, who would like It if their husband to be's lover calls them by their name. I wanted to tell her so, but she beat me to talking.
"In fact I'm sorry, I didn't know, you won't like it if I pick up your call, I just didn't want you to think he's ignoring your call or something" She said, what's she saying?, she's not trying to rub the fact that she's his lover in her face?
"He left his phone in Connor's library, I can have my husband take it to him if you want?" She said, my anger turned to surprise then fear, fuck is she Ava, did I just behave rudely with her.
"Uhm yeah" I replied unsure, she's going to have her husband, his majesty give the phone to Nicholas. Oh my God.
"OK" She said
"I'm sorry, I.." I wanted to explain.
"It's fine, I understand" She said, softly.
"Thanks" I whispered.
"You're welcome" The line went dead.
"You're OK?" Mum asked, I stared at her, she looked at me worriedly, I nodded.
"Is something wrong?" She asked
"No Mama, nothing's wrong, just perfect Mama, Everything's perfect." I said, a deep unsettling feeling in my stomach.
Nicholas's POV
She didn't tell me anything I didn't already figure out.
"So what if I did all of it?, uhn?, so what if I wanted to kill her, what then?, what will you do?" Alaina asked.
"Kill you" I said, unfeeling.
I got to her front, without even taking a step, she moved back, fear, shock, were written on her face.
"No!" She screamed as I lifted her by her neck, I saw red, I squeezed life out of her, I almost succeeded in killing her this time, if only......
Connor pried my hands off her neck. I had locked the door but he opened it easily.
"Logan no!" I yelled at him.
"No brother, you can't kill her." He said and drew me away from Alaina,
"Why?, she has done enough damage to us" I yelled, and for the first time in a long time, I wanted to cry.
"She took your identity and made you Connor!" I shook him. He gathered me softly in his arms. I hugged him tightly. My grip would have broken someone else bone but not Logan's.
"I know" He whispered
"I want her dead too Nick, I really do but I can't kill her, not yet" He said.
"Why?" I almost gave in to crying.
"I don't want to break my promise to Ava" He said. Of anyone in the world, I understand him the most.
After a while, I collected my emotions, he loosened his grip on me, I left his embrace, and faced Alaina, who was groaning on the floor, holding her neck. Blood was dripping out of her ears and eyes.
"Logan saved you this time, next time you won't be lucky, I'll kill you, and no one will stop me"
"And trust me, there's going to be a next time."
