Chapter 16
Alyssa couldn't decide to leave, she wanted to but finalize her decision not to. Maybe he was passing through some hard things and he needed space alone to himself to clear up his thoughts.
She slowly walked back into the house and let the bag she held fall to the floor with a glimpse of pain in her eyes. But she had told him he didn't need to love her, so why remain this harsh with her. Alex was a man so difficult to understand. One moment he had the eyes of an angel, and in another, he had the eyes of the devil himself ready to devour souls. When they had first met, he had been gentle with her, only that his words were quite harsh but not his tone, and Alyssa wanted that man back.
She grabbed a white Snickers, and a red hoodie. She had planned to make use of it very early tomorrow, but tonight was going to be better since she needed to forget everything.
And tyeing her shoelace properly, Alyssa started towards the stairs deliberately avoiding the destructive sounds that came from his room. Seems like he was destroying some things but it didn't bother her. He can destroy it all if he wishes to as she didn't care either.
With a hurt look on her face, she jammed the door behind her and walked out of the house heading to the gate. Like he had said before they both had no right to care about the appearance and disappearance of each other, so she had every right to go where ever she wanted to.
Meanwhile, Alexander wouldn't stop, his temper was getting the better part of him because he had invested a fortune, and no way, hell no way would he let go so easily. Seems like the people he had made the business proposal with were making fun of his patience and his temper, and he had to show them some respect but while doing that, teach them how to show it back.
He was this close to constructing his empire, to making it stand and gain recognition, and yet he had to soil his hands with blood yet again? It was fucking good but at the same time frustrating leaving him no other choice.
Thinking back, he had prepared for all these too, weren't they all barbarians and money eaters? He grinned and blew hot air inside the hole of his gun. His baby here was the only thing that could make them take him seriously and therefore he had to unleash it.
Alexander opened his door and walked out after making sure he was completely armed. His temper was still getting the better part of him and he failed to realize the absence of Alyssa. Though his mind had backfired him with the thoughts of her and continued doing so because he had awfully rejected her that way, his promise to himself still stands.
Immediately he ignited the engine, his car roared coming to life. He drove out of the house thirsty just for the blood of those who made him this way, he had to show them he wasn't someone they would stumble upon like nothing.
Just then, his phone hummed getting his attention. At first, he wanted to completely ignore it but ended up taking a look at it.
Alex halted the car immediately, clutching the wheels tightly but his eyes were back to normal again. At first, he had this thought to continue his journey, but he wanted things done faster and maybe this time and at least for once really clean.
It was quite nice they finally came back to their senses. An entire fucking whooping 760 million dollars spent just for his ambition wasn't something he had to joke with, especially because he was now permanently distant from his family.
Alyssa ran, ran, ran, and continued running. This wasn't just a normal jogging or normal excise but it was torture to her own delicate body. It was bloody tiring but she had to continue. Her legs were hurting, her head spinning and her sight blurry. Sweats drained out of her body and the darkness which was getting closer indeed didn't help with her sight. It was unfair, so unfair she had to go through all this and all because she was desperate.
She halted bending to her knees to catch up on her breath. It was only then she realized that the darkness was getting closer and she needed to go back. Making a turn back to the house felt kind of infuriating to her. Alyssa wanted to at least spend the night in her house and at least feel at peace. Seeing the man who had hurt her a few hours ago could get her to throw up or rather curse at him and the more she thought about him, the more her anger intensified.
There wasn't any money, nor cards with her, and neither was there any close friend to go spend the night with. When Alyssa turned around, she realized she had actually gone a long way from his house, it did surprise her how she was able to, but it was a long way to her own house.
Left without any other options, she started back to his house, but this time walking slowly with her legs still hurting.
Just suddenly her footsteps increased, this time, Alyssa walked like her life depended on it, and yes, her life did depend on it. They were amassing closer to her and it was beginning to scare her to the bones. No money, nor valuables meaning they could only want one more thing if she didn't have valuable things to offer.
She began running, taking every step roughly without minding every step hurt like hell. Tired feet fell with a thud on the floor letting out a softened groan from her lips. Alyssa turned around to look at the men- three in number- and it only crossed her mind that there was no way she could escape this all alone, therefore she was doomed.
A few minutes ago........
From afar, Alexander could recognize her, he had been watching her and every expression and sad face she made got him chuckling. He found her angry face cute and amusing to him, but surprisingly it always found a way to calm him down.
Because of his pride, Alexander ignited the engine and decided to leave. He wanted to believe he cared less if she was out alone without anyone and worse he didn't care if she was a woman too. Just about to take a turn, his sharp eyes caught hold of two shadows from afar, and they sure did look strong and intimidating.
Alex waited a bit, and when he had fully confirmed his suspicion, he alighted from his car and followed behind without making his presence noticed.
Exactly the one thing Alex hated the most, men who couldn't fucking control themselves from forcefully having a lady, especially against her own will.
Immediately a slight scream was heard from Alyssa, Alexander fired a straight and perfect bullet from afar startling Alyssa.
It went through his fucking head and definitely to the satisfaction of Alexander. His dirty blood splashed on her face and body frightening her.
Alyssa's eyes widened, her hands trembling to the disgust of what her eyes had seen and her body immediately became numb. Wasn't this the man that was about to pull off her cloth?
Another bullet and another fell right before her very eyes, and yet another bullet again shot toward the last person who wanted to take to his heels. A frightful feeling she was next suddenly crept inside her head and when she look ahead, a monstrous figure of Alexandra fully revealed itself to her making the young lady lose consciousness immediately.
