Chapter 112 Chapter one hundred and twelve
Sydney’s pow
Dylan pulled the trigger but nothing happened. His face became red and he tightened his hold on the gun as he continuously pulled the trigger like a fool. The scene replayed in my head for the umpteenth time that night. When Dylan left the car to go give instructions to his men, I was the only one left in the
1 looked around and quickly removed the bullets from the gun with shaky hands. I hadn’t had any plans at mind but I sure knew that if he could shoot then he’d definitely be shot at
And that was exactly what was happening
Grasping what had happened. Tavon’s bodyguards immediately brought out their ammuntion and mercilessly shot at Dylan, making holes through his clothes and body. “That must have been how Axel was also shot at,” I thought.
Dylan’s body finally could not take the shots anymore and as he fell to the floor, his gaze found mine behind the chair I had hd myself in filed with despair and pain as he hit the ground.
n. His eyes were
I wanted to rush to him and tell him that I removed the bullets from his gun. I wanted to tell him that I planned the whole thing but I couldn’t. Not now. Not
when the guards were still shooting at him.
Finally, they stopped on Tavor’s order then I crawled through the mess- the broken table and plates and expensive vases and many others, the injured men the dead ones that Dylan had stabbed – to his unmoving body. All eyes were on me and the guns were still pointed but I didn’t care, I needed this moment.
I sneered when I reached him. Stubborn man. He still wasn’t dead. His eyes were open as he spluttered blood from his mouth. As I looked at his battered form, a wave of pity washed over me. He had been a pawn in my game, used and discarded, But I hardened my heart – he had brought this upon himself through he cruelty and wickedness. There could be no mercy for one such as him.
He opened his mouth when I came into his view but he couldn’t form any words, all he could do was splurt out more blood. His glassy eyes pleaded with
me for help, but I fet nothing.
If I had really loved him, I would have held his body and cried my eyes out because this death was homble; every part of his body had a bullet hole in it Even his forehead which made me wonder why his eyes were still open. But I loved him not my heart was as cold as the steel that pierced his flesh
Well, it doesn’t matter. He was still going to die either y
Way.
I leaned into his ear and whispered, Tylan, you damn bug,” I gritted out, finally able to channel all of my resentment through my words and look. “You shouldn’t have treated Lucas how you did.” His head turned to me and our faces were now mere inches from touching. The disbelief and fear was unmistakable in his eyes, the knowledge that I had played him and betrayed him must be resounding
“And you know what? You shouldn’t have told me, then I would have left like I was never here.”
He weakly opened his mouth but only blood spluttered out. His life was draining away with each precious second.
“You know, I bore you a son.“I saw has finger twitched and I smirked, “His name is Aiden, but you’re not worthy to be his father. I tell everyone that Aiden’s father is Lucas, and you will disappear from this world forever, and no one will remember you existed.” I whispered.” Lucas would be remembered but not Dylan.” He looked at me with hurt and disbelief and hate before his pupils stopped moving and he stopped spluttering blood. With his final breath, he tried. to mouth something but the words never came.
As I watched him fade away, I felt fulfilled. Perhaps, this was why I was one of my
my purposes. To avenge Lucas. Because the fulfillment I felt was indescribable. A great weight had been lifted from my soul- the ghost of Lucas could finally rest I had enacted a brutal vengeance, but one that was justified in my eyes after all the pain and suffering Dylan had caused.
After it was confirmed that Dylan was dead, Tavon’s bodyguards dragged me from Dylan’s body and made me kneel before Tavon
“Cuff her and throw her in the torture room? Tavon yelled and glimpsed a tinge of pity in Bella’s eyes.
y spine as ! My heart skipped a beat and I knew that this torture room wasn’t the one Tavon introduced to me on my first day here. A chill ran down my imagined the horrors that may await me in whatever room he was referring to. Still, I had to keep my wits about me and find a way to convince him of
where my loyalties truly lie.
I quickly jammed my palms together and pleaded. 1 swear, godfather, I hate Lucas more than you do right now, I’ve always despised him.”
The surprise in his eyes was evident. He had not expected me to turn on Dylan, the man he saw as my lover and father of my child. But I knew I had to
see this moment to win back his trust
“Why did you think he wasn’t able to get a bullet through you when he pointed the gun at you and pulled the trigger?” I continued, my voice trembling slightly with the weight of the situation 1 emptied the gun of its bullets, godfather. I threw him a gun without bullets.”
As the realization sank in, Tavon’s eyes softened and I knew I didn’t need to explain more. He understood that I was by his side and he flicked his hand at his guards who backed off, lowering their weapons. A wave of rebel washed over me I had managed to avoid the torture room, at least for now.
“Thank you” I whispered, letting out a relieved breath
Π
The men started to sit through the mess but first of all, they carried Dylan’s body away. I watched impassively as his feless form was dragged across the floor, leaving a smear of blood in its wake. Part of me felt a twinge of regret at the brutal way he had met his end, but I quickly pushed those thoughts
aside. He had brought it upon himself through his actions.
My eyes fell on Scarlet and they filled with tears. I have achieved my aim but innocent lives were taken. People that didn’t deserve to die Axel’s pale, broken body flashed in my mind and my stomach twisted into knots. I closed my eyes and said a silent prayer for Scarlet and Axel, hoping their souls could find peace.
I opened my eyes when felt eyes on me. Tavon watched as his men took care of the chaos in the room while Bella carefully watched me, her expression. unreadable. I could only imagine what she must be thinking, having witnessed the violent spectacle that had just unfolded.
Your secret is forever sale with me, I thought and I hoped she got the message. That despite everything, the bond we had formed, however twisted, stil
meant something to me.
She nodded almost imperceptibly and I returned her nod, a silent acknowledgment passing between us.
Then I took one last look at everything and Scarlet before took advantage of the chaos and slipped out of the room and out of the mansion.
When I successfully made it to Tavons mansion, I immediately headed for the embassy.
It was the one place I had Bella describe to me and I carefully studied the map she provided me.
As I ran through the night, the wind whipped back my hair and howled in my o
years! but I didn’t feel tired at all felt victorious and extremely as I ran through
the night to meet with the people I loved and have missed. Finally, I had avenged Lucas.
Another thing I was thankful for was that the embassy wasn’t very far from Tavor’s mansion. And with the vigor pumping into my legs, I made it there in a
few minutes.
I was breathing hard when I reached the embassy, I saw one of the papers pasted on the wall containing the notice of my missing and tone it off the wall
I rushed to the embassy staff behind the counter and pointed at my picture on the paper. Tm the one here,” I ruched out then put it in his face and beside my face.
‘Call Mark Tomes from GT Group, tell him Sydney has been found,”
The embassy staff’s eyes widened. She repped on her colleague that had his back turned to us and whispered something in his ear. The colleague turned and smiled at me. “Miss Sydney,” he nodded.
The lady smiled at me too, T be right back,” she said and left.
The embassy staff arrived a while later with a big infectious smile. We’ve informed GT Group and a private fight is being arranged for you.”
I nodded. “Thank you”
“You can wait in the VIP waiting ama, I’d lead you there.”
I muttered another thank you and followed her to an area that lonked like a reception area but much more fancy. Thankfully, I was the only one there after the embassy staff left.
There, I found a chilled bottle of orange juice and some snacks that i guzzled down. I hadn’t even realized that I was starving.
Iran my fingers through my disheveled hair. 1 must look like a mad woman,” I mutter to myself as strode to sit on the inviting plush soda
Just as I took a seat, something vibrated at the back of my jeans. I frowned then I quickly brought it out when I remembered that Bellahad handed me a phone that couldn’t be traced. With it, I could reach either her or Scarlet in case I got in trouble.
By the time I brought the phone out the ringing had stopped
I tapped on the contacts icon and there were only two phone numbers saved there–Bella and Scar, I swallowed
Just as I made to dial Bela’s number and call her back, the phone started to ring again. I picked up the cal immediately,
“Weren’t you going to pick up?” Her cool voice sounded through the phone’s speaker.
“was,” I simply responded.
“Did you know,” she started and I could hear the smile in her voice. “The gun pointed on your head in your room the last time we met before Italy was just
a toy gun”
I raised my brows, I should have known,
“You always played with me, and you finally got played by me, you lool.
I ignored her words and said instead, “Sister, come back with me, I’ll take very good care of you.”
We were both aware that it was the first time either of us was using that term – sister,
Bela, as expected, caid sarcastically, “Go back for what?” She scoffed, 1 neither want to stay in a mental hospital nor a prison, Thank you very much. I’m
fine here, much better than you.”
I sighed. “Then you must be happier than I thought, I hope you truly are.”
The line was silent for a while as neither of us said anything. Then she blurted, “Whatever It’s none of your business!” Then she hung up.
