…….Alex’s pov……
“So, this is the best you can do?” I asked coyly staring at Lucas as he poured me a glass of wine.
He paused and glanced at me.
“No…” He whispered like he was short of words.
“You know what? Just take me home” I muttered and he flinched.
“Oh, come on, Alex. I’m doing all I can to show you that this feelings are not weak. They’re strong and it’s driving me crazy. I just want to be yours and you’d be mine” He said softly and I sighed.
“I’ve never had a boyfriend before, I don’t…I don’t know what to expect. I want to avoid the problems, Lucas. If the relationship is gonna be toxic or I rather be on my own…” I explained gently.
“I don’t know the best way to show it Alex and I wish I did… But don’t leave me hanging, please” He pleaded with a helpless look.
I want him too but I don’t want to give him the opportunity to take advantage of me..
Like, he played Rissa’s feelings.
“Alright, fine. I accept to be your girlfriend but you’re gonna be very real with me. I mean, whenever you stop having those ‘strong’ feelings towards me, just let me know rather than to humiliate me, you got that?” I asked and he smiled.
“Yes, of course! I won’t s¢rew this up, I promise!” He replied excitedly.
I chuckled as he leaned in for a kss.
……..Rissa’s pov……..
I felt a sharp ache in my heart the moment Mykel left my hand gently and took the gun from Mr Frosh.
No!!! It felt like being impaled with a sharp sword. The feeling of betrayal was unexplainable and I just flashed my eyes at him since he was backing me.
Mom and dad held themselves tightly obviously frightened.
“Mykel…” I called softly from behind him.
He froze still not looking at me.
“Please…..they’re…..all I have” I muttered miserably and dolefully.
He didn’t say anything as he proceeded towards them with the gun.
He reached for dad and dragged him by the collar. Mom screamed in tears as dad was dragged away from her towards the edge of the roof.
This is not happening…!
Is Mykel hypnotized or something???
“You killed my parents…” Mykel whispered and pointed the gun towards his skull.
“What? Is that what this is about?? I didn’t kill your father, Mykel—-”
“Do not lie, Edward. Remember – I’m a witness. I saw everything so don’t leave out a single detail” The annoying Mr Frosh interrupted dad savagely.
“Your father was depressed and was about to commit suicide with a gun that day. I entered the room and tried stopping him from killing himself. We struggled with the gun for a long time until Mr Frosh came in. We had almost talked things true when Mr Frosh entered and brought up a topic that he had with Caleb while I went left the building. After a few hours, your parent’s bodies were found lying around at a complicated place. How could I just kil.l my own best friend??? It doesn’t make sense, we have been together forany years, he’s like a brother to me…” Dad explained while I gulped.
“Why didn’t you sue, Frosh???” Mykel asked holding the gun tightly to dad’s head.
“I had no evidence. I’m so sorry, Mykel. I did all I could so the government would let me have you but it was clearly impossible since we are not closely related” Dad wavered looking really scared.
“Don’t believe him, Mykel. Nothing but lies! I have been here for you for the past two years. Treated you like my own son and made sure you got your father’s wealth” The plump man said wearing a dubious smirk.
“The both of you are driving me nuts!” Mykel rasped and cocked the gun.
“Daddy?” I yelled in fright.
Mykel shouldn’t do this, please…
Mykel lowered the gun and i felt a little bit at ease.
My frosh suddenly grabbed me and pointed another gun on my head.
I panicked in fright.
“Kill them, Mykel or your little doll gets it” The man threatened pushing the gun deep to hurt my skin.
Mykel stared at me with pain in his eyes. I could see it.
He is now the one to choose betweeny parents and me… So complicated.
“So, you’re guilty, Mr Frosh because if you were innocent, you wouldn’t be doing what you’re up to, right now” Mykel stated sternly but Frosh didn’t say a word rather, he cocked his own gun. I should just be prepared for death because it’s definitely near.
Mykel raised the gun at dad, again and I panicked mentally.
“Don’t…!” I half yelled In shock.
“Why did you kill them?” Mykel asked coldly and Frosh chuckled.
“Your father was getting in the way of me owing the largest weapon shipping company in the world…The stupid Edward too. He’s the reason your father’s wealth was seized by the government in the first place. I just wanted to be as wealthy as they were!” He replied casually.
Mykel quickly pointed his gun towards us and released two bullets on the plump man. He also returned the favor by shooting Mykel.
As he slumped to the floor to die, I noticed Mykel was already falling to the ground. I rushed to hold him. He was shot at his right chest! No – Mykel!
“Mom, dad…call for help!!!” I yelled scared to the bones.
