THIN LINES BETWEEN DEATH : CHAPTER 41 – 50
By Summer Gold R.
Kian shifted sideway for Scylla to enter and she flashed him a short smile.
Kian closed the door and faced her.
“So the reason why you came here was to stop talking to me?” He asked.
Scylla nodded.
“I just…feel bad. And besides,you know what’s gonna happen if we get caught” She said.
“You should have thought about that before showing up here..just throw it out,I don’t wear clothes twice” Kian said and turned toward the stairs.
Scylla made to follow him,she saw the briefcase opened on the glass table,filled with money and her eyes widened.
“Are you an armed robber?” She asked and Kian turned.
“Oh that….It’s from a business deal” He said.
“What business?” Scylla faced him.
“I hate too much questions” Kian suddenly said coldly and Scylla blinked.
“You can take a bundle if you want” He muttered and went upstairs.
Scylla was confused,she walked to the briefcase and closed it,then carried it along with her upstairs.
She met Kian in his bedroom putting on a shirt.
Kian raised his brows when he saw the case in her hand.
“Keep it safe or deposit in your bank,don’t be careless,what will you do if you get robbed?” She asked and dropped it.
Kian ignored what she said.
“Give me a tour” Scylla began and Kian looked at her.
“I mean,the villa is really beautiful,I want to see everything” She added with a smile.
“Come with me” Kian muttered.
“Yessss!” Scylla gushed and they both walked out of the room.
“Whoa! Is this a movie room?” She faced him when they entered a big room with confortably large couch,with soft pillows and then an incredibly big television by the wall.
“Hmm,I’ve never used it anyway” Kian mumbled.
“A movie night…Netflix and chill,fúck that shit” Scylla snickered.
They left there and walked into a dark place,Scylla immediately grabbed Kian’s shirt.
Kian was actually about turning on the light but he paused when Scylla held him.
“Are you scared of darkness?” He asked.
Scylla blinked and looked away.
“I see” Kian nodded.
“Turn it on,stop it” she mumbled and then the light came on.
“Wait,how did you on it?” She looked at him.
Kian snapped his fingers and it went off,then snapped again,it came on.
Scylla tried snapping her fingers but nothing happened.
“It listens to only me” Kian muttered.
“Oh” Scylla bit her lip,she looked around to see what’s there and suddenly her eyes widened.
It’s a pool right there,an indoor pool.
“Oh my gawd” She immediately ran toward it.
“Whoa” Her mouth opened,there’s a glass wall surrounding the whole pool arena,and she could see the display of city light and sceneries.
“But…how come the city….”
“They are not real” Kian said and immediately the glass wall turned black.
She gasped.
“You’re such an alien! Who the fûck lives in this kinda house?!” She groaned.
Kian chuckled.
“Do you swim in here at all?” Scylla faced him.
“Hmm,often” he nodded.
They left the pool and he took her to the game room,then another door led them to the karaoke.
“You must be kidding me right now..a karaoke?” She asked,looking around,everywhere looking so cool and beautiful,she faced him.
“Do you like it?” Kian asked.
“Of course,everything about the house,I love them” Scylla said.
Her stomach suddenly made a loud noise.
“I forgot I’ve not eaten” She mumbled.
“Let’s go then” Kian said and went out,she followed him.
“We are not going out right? You know we shouldn’t be seen together……”
“I’m cooking for you” Kian cut her off.
“Oh” She smiled.
They entered the kitchen and Scylla remembered how he grabbed her àss the last time he cooked for her.
She looked at Kian who was already checking out what to prepare.
“Don’t worry…I won’t touch you today” Kian mumbled without turning to her.
“Do you hear people’s thoughts or something?” Scylla asked.
Kian faced her.
He was about speaking up when Scylla’s phone rang,,she answered right away and hung up afterward.
“What is it?” Kian asked her when he noticed her changed mood.
“There’s a mission tonight” She said.
Kian took his phone and then a loud beep came from Scylla’s phone,she opened the message.
Unknown: Save my number.
Scylla blinked and looked at him.
“How did you get my number?” She asked.
Kian said nothing and turned on the gas.
“Wait….this is weird….don’t tell me…..you hacked into my phone?!” She gasped with wide eyes.
“What the f**k,,,just ..who are you?” Scylla asked.
“Kian” He replied.
“I’ve always wanted to ask,but…the rumor…..” She paused when he faced her.
“What rumor?”
“The one….about you not knowing the fist fight and no skills,is it true?” She questioned.
“Yea…..”
“Liar” Scylla snapped.
Kian crossed his arms on his chest and stared at her blankly.
“No unskilled motherfucker would look so hot like this” Scylla said.
“Hot?”
“Anyway…I don’t believe you” She rolled her eyes.
Kian bent a little closer to her face.
“Can I cook in peace now? Having to lower my neck each time I look at you is darn stressful”he muttered slowly and glanced at her lips.
Scylla swallowed hard,she couldn’t talk.
“Breathe,,,,” Kian muttered and Scylla released the breath she was keeping.
Kian glanced at her lips again and smiled.
“Pretty” He smirked.
Scylla gulped again,his cologne filled her nose,he was literally killing him with his face so close to hers.
“Alien……can you…move…away?” She stuttered.
“It will take some minutes to cook this,you can wait here or the living room” Kian suddenly said in a serious voice and moved away from her.
Scylla blinked in confusion,Kian was already focused.
Just how the hell did he change so quickly?
“Alien” She scoffed and saved his number…with Alien of course.

SHADOW’S COTTAGE*
Shadow was in his basement,he was quite busy,relocking all his systems documents and accounts,every single one.
Suzumi dropped a bottle of vodka on the table for him.
“Are you really not going to do anything about the hacker? The person did a lot of Damages” Suzumi said.
Shadow smirked and rest on the seat.
“That soul must be an insane psycho hacker to get into my world so easily,don’t you think?” He responded.
Suzumi nodded.
“I think…but then…you won’t change your plan and location for the mission tonight?” She asked.
“No….tonight will be bloodily delicious” Shadow smiled darkly.
Suzumi smiled as well.
“Get the car ready…the fastest one. I’m gonna play those bastards” Shadow grinned.
“Sure…..boss” Suzumi said.

7PM, A CONVENIENCE STORE*
Knox was in the wine section picking up different wines into his cart,his house bar is already empty and he finally decided to fill it up today after so much procrastination.
After picking to his satisfaction,he started pushing the cart again to see if he would get other things,but then his eyes suddenly fell on the wine Kian drank last night.
“Here you are” He smiled and took like ten bottles for him.
As he was leaving the section,he saw someone familiar. Not just anyone,but a professor in their school,Prof Vanessa,his crush.
Knox stopped walking and followed her with his eyes as she got few things from the next section,Knox then went to her.
“Hi Miss” He called.
Vanessa turned and she raised her brows.
“Miss Vanessa…right?” Knox smiled.
“Oh,you are….”
“A student,Pinnacles” He immediately replied.
“Whoa,sorry I didn’t know,how are you?” Vanessa asked.
“Great,it’s so good to see you here Miss. What are you buying?” Knox followed her.
“Aren’t you tired pushing the cart?” Vanessa looked at him.
“I’m stronger than you think” Knox replied and she chuckled.
“Sorry”
Knox smiled,still following her,he stared at every steps she makes,she was putting on just a simple gown,quite short but she look really small compared to him,the first time he heard that she’s actually 27,he almost couldn’t believe it.
She’s so f**king beautiful.
Vanessa wanted to pick up something,but she wasn’t tall enough.
“Oh,I gat you” Knox immediately came close and got it for her,his chest hitting her head.
Vanessa turned and faced him,Knox looked down at her.
“Sorry” He muttered.
Vanessa nodded…shyly and took it from him.
“Thanks”
Like that,they both went to pay,and Knox paid for her as well.
“You didn’t have to do that,I feel bad. I should be the one who pays for you” Vanessa mumbled.
“Pay me back with a meal next time then” Knox looked at her.
“Huh? Meal?”
“Hmm” He nodded.
They got outside and stood next to each other as the store assistants were helping Knox put his stuffs in his car.
“Where’s your car?” Knox asked her.
“Oh….I don’t have a car” Vanessa replied.
Knox looked at her and she also did the same,,he quickly collected her bag and walked to his car,Vanessa followed him.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking you home,get in” He winked and opened the door for her.
“You don’t have to…..”
“I wouldn’t leave my prof to take a taxi when I’m here” Knox said.
“Thanks” Vanessa mumbled and entered the car.
Knox got in as well and soon drove off.
“Where do you live?”
“Just got,I will direct” Vanessa answered.
Knox nodded.
The drive to where she stay was just about twenty minutes,Knox stopped the car and looked at the multi story building…not the usual ones he knows about,this one is quite old and cheap.
“You live here?” He asked,quite surprised.
“Hmm” Vanessa nodded.
“Oh”
Suddenly Vanessa panicked as she looked out of the car.
“Are you okay?” Knox asked.
“Bye” she immediately took her stuffs and rushed out of the car.
Knox was still confused,but then he saw a man waiting for her beside a car and Vanessa walking over to him,like a scared cat.
The man looks familiar too….
“Aaron” Knox muttered.
Aaron is another lecturer in school.
“Why are they together?” Knox asked no one as he watched them go into the building together.
“Wait…don’t tell me…..they are dating?” He batted his lashes and then scoffed.
“Must be exaggerating” He mumbled before driving off.
THIN LINES BETWEEN DEATH : CHAPTER 41 – 50
Vanessa followed behind Aaron slowly,till they entered her room and the door closed.
Almost immediately Aaron turned and threw a hard slap on her face,her hair scattered and she fell on the floor,everything in her hand dropped.
“Whose car was that?” Aaron asked,his eyes red.
“He’s…he’s my student and he just helped” Vanessa stuttered.
“Who f**king said you can accept such help from anyone?!! Who cares if he’s a student?! Who cares!” He grabbed her hair and used it to drag her up.
“You want to start cheating now?” He asked.
“You know I can’t do that!” Vanessa cried.
“Then what?”
“Aaron,,I called you to drive me to the store,but you said you were busy,I had to take a taxi there and……”
“Isn’t that a blunt lie? You only asked to know if I would come or not,just look at your dress,see how short it is.. You want other guys to start seeing you now? You want them to touch your ass?! Is that it?!” He pushed her to the wall and her head hit it.
“I’m sorry,please I’m sorry” Vanessa cried as he started unbolting his belt.
“Next time,you will know how to reject offers like that,bitch” Aaron said and torn the dress she was putting on.
He torn her pant too and without warning,he thrusts his big d**k into her pussy,roughly.
“Ahh!!” Vanessa screamed painfully.
“Shut up!” Aaron yelled at her and continue f**king her,aggressively and roughly,he spanked her till her ass was totally red and painful to her.
He released her after she got so weak to the point of bleeding.
“Don’t ever think of cheating on me…I will kill you. Your parents handed you over to me for a reason,don’t ever try it” He threatened and stormed out of the room,leaving her helpless on the floor.

9PM, JAMES NICKEL’S HOUSE*
James just arrived from the office,he just took off his shirt when suddenly he heard a strange sound,the breeze blew the room curtains so much that it freaked him.
He called one of his guards.
“Is everything okay there?” He asked.
“Everything is good boss,no worries”
After hanging up, he want to close the windows and then left the room,he went downstairs to take a bottle of water before going upstairs again.
He got to the passage leading to his room and then,an image walked out from the dark side and stood in front of him.
James’ eyes widened and the water from from his hand as he saw the all black masked man standing in front of him.
“Who…who…are…you?” James stuttered.
“Shadow” Came the voice.
Shadow removed his mask and grinned heartlessly.
James quickly turned and began running down the stairs.
Shadow threw a knife directly and it entered his leg,which made him fall roughly on the floor.
“Don’t make things hard,we have a long night ahead” Shadow said and dragged him upstairs,his head was already covered with blood even before getting there,due to the way his head kept on hitting the staircase as Shadow dragged him.
They got to the last one and Shadow used one hand to smash his back on the wall.
“Ahhhhh!!!!!” James cried in agony.
Shadow laughed.
“I love your tone,compared to others” He said and grabbed James with his hair then smashed his face on the wall,the wall got blood stained and that excited him even more.
“Please…please…spare my life,please….”
Shadow removed the knife in his leg and Aaron screamed again.
Shadow inhaled the blood and groaned.
“So f**king good” He muttered and shoved it right inside his ear.
“Aaaaggghhhhhhhhh!!!!”
THIN LINES BETWEEN DEATH : CHAPTER 41 – 50
“Where’s Captain?” Anna asked the other team mates.
They are actually waiting on the spot Clayton ordered them to wait.
“I have no idea” One of them answered.
Just then,Anna’s phone buzzed.
“James Nickel! I just got a message,and the address where Shadow is working right now from the anonymous!” She announced and everyone’s eyes widened.
“Get the van! Right now!” She ordered.
“Yes ma’am!”
THIN LINES BETWEEN DEATH : CHAPTER 41 – 50
Back in James house,,the floor was covered with blood,and it was even dropping down the stairs,the staircase was filled with James blood who was on the floor,gasping for breath.
How Shadow always make them stay alive till the end is a mystery,because right now..James ears are on the floor,his fingers have been cut off from his legs and his hands too
His legs have been turned 180° from the normal position, his hands have been twisted and broken too.
Shadow smiled maniacally as he watched him.
“I’m sure you enjoyed our sport,I’m so sad it’s coming to an end” He pouted and grinned.
Blood came out of James mouth when he tried to talk.
Shadow smirked and wrote on the floor….*SHADOW*.
And finally finished James off and used his mask again.
But just as he was done,the door opened,Oscar came in with Kenzo too,both holding guns.
“Get down right now….if you love you life” Oscar threatened.
“Aish….part two starts faster than I expected” Shadow chuckled and went downstairs.
“Don’t move!!!” Kenzo roared.
Shadow chuckled even louder and immediately both Oscar and Kenzo began shooting,they saw as Shadow was flying and jumping over the room,dodging their bullets,Kenzo almost stopped for a second,he has never seen such a fast move in his life.
But he came back to his sense when everything became silent.
Shadow just disappeared.
Oscar dropped his hands and looked around,but just at once,Shadow appeared behind them and smashed their heads against each others.
Before they could make another move,Shadow flexed three punches in Kenzo’s tummy before finishing him off with a kick in the mouth.
Kenzo was sent flying across the room,his back hit the wall and he fell roughly,then puked out blood,he got weak immediately,he wouldn’t dare get up.
Oscar faced Shadow and began throwing punches toward him,but Shadow was dodging everything effortlessly.
Then he held Oscar’s fist like it’s nothing,he then twisted his arm.
“Ahh!!!” Oscar shouted.
Shadow punched his mouth and smashed his head on the wall.
“Ahh!!” Another scream.
Shadow punched his back twice like he would break his bone.
Oscar fell on the floor,groaning.
The door opened again,ten mobsters entered but within a minute,they were all on the floor unmovable.
“This is fun” Shadow giggles.
“Hey!! You bastard!!!”
Bianca entered with her sisters,and that was Bianca’s voice.
She rushed toward Shadow angrily.
Shadow’s hand wrapped around her neck,stopping her right there,he threw her back toward her sisters and the three of them fell together.
Scylla and Liliana got up swiftly and rushed toward him,he fought with them like they are little kids.
Liliana and Bianca already on the floor,not able to move but Scylla was still fighting him.
Scylla tried opening his mask and Shadow shoved his knife into her arm.
“Ahh!” Scylla screamed.
Shadow removed the knife and kicked her off to the wall,he followed her and raised the knife to stab her again.
“No….killing you won’t be fun….when next shall we meet?” Shadow asked and Scylla could see him grinning under the mask.
“F**king…..Psychopath” She said,breathlessly.
Shadow smirked and pushed her to the floor then started leaving.
“Follow him!” Oscar shouted and got up.
Kenzo and Bianca also stood up,they ran after Shadow but just like his name implies,he already disappeared into the darkness.
“Scylla” Liliana rushed to Scylla on the floor,her arm was oozing out blood,it’s actually the same arm where she got shot.
Scylla held it tightly but the blood was rushing,her eyes totally red and sweat covered her up.
Then….she lost her consciousness.
“Scylla!!” Liliana screamed.
“We have to leave! The cops are close!” They heard the call and immediately everyone started dragging their injured self out of the house,,they even carried James dead body along.

ELENA’S LODGE*
Elena opened the door and her eyes brightened when she saw Kian standing there.
“Hey” Kian smiled and entered.
She closed the door and followed him.
“I got chicken,,I wanted to eat alone but I kept thinking about the little Elena,so I couldn’t” Kian teased and she laughed.
“Thank you” she immediately took the package from him.
“Chicken and chips!” Elena gasped.
Kian nodded.
She jumped on him and poured kisses on his face.
“That’s enough,c’mon” Kian said but she didn’t stop.
Until Kian’s phone rang in his pocket. She got down from his body and he answered the call.
“What?!” His eyes widened.
“What’s going on?” Elena asked.
“I need to go to the mob,I will talk to you in the morning,I think something happened” Kian rushed his words and ran out immediately.
*
He was got to the Vipers mob in no time and ran into the big lounge.
His eyes widened when he saw Oscar,Kenzo and other mobsters injured badly.
“Did….Shadow really did this?” He asked in total disbelief.
“That’s right….you were really right about your information” Vincenzo nodded.
Oscar rolled his eyes and walked out,his shoulder pushing Kian out of the way.
Kian looked at Kenzo.
“When is the mob Doctor coming?” He asked.
“He will be here soon” Vincenzo replied.
Kian sighed.
“Is there anything I can help with?” He asked.
“No,it’s fine” Vincenzo said.
Kian glanced at Kenzo again before going out.
Kenzo followed him.
“Why don’t you ask me?” He asked and Kian looked at him.
“Huh?”
“Your eyes….says you are worried about me” Kenzo said.
“Are you okay? Does it hurt?” Kian asked.
Kenzo smiled.
“I’m fine” he muttered.
Kian nodded and walked away.

NEXT DAY, KNOX’S HOUSE*
Daven and Saint were already setting the dinning table together with Knox,it’s a Sunday morning and Knox suggested that they have a meal together.
“Are you sure Kian is gonna show up?” Saint asked.
“Definitely not” Daven answered.
“He would….I sent him the address and he promised to be here” Knox snapped.
“You trust him so much” Daven chuckled.
But just then, They heard the door bell and they all went quiet.
Knox smiled and left the dinning room,he opened the entrance door,revealing Kian.
“You came” Knox smiled.
Kian entered and they went to the dinning together.
“Hey dude” Saint hugged him.
Daven smirked at him.
They all settled down to eat.
“Who cooked?” Kian asked after a while.
“Three of us”
“How is it?”
Kian nodded.
“50/100” he said.
“Really?!” The boys exclaimed.
“Is it too much?” Kian asked.
“Are you kidding me? Too much? Do you know how many hours we spent in the kitchen? And you’re giving us just 50?” Daven snapped.
“If I give you 80,,won’t you get scared? I mean,I even dashed you the 50….” Knox covered Kian’s mouth and laughed.
“Whoa,you’re so bad mouthed” Saint muttered.
“Let’s just eat” Knox chuckled after letting go of Kian.
“You guys heard about what happened last night? Kian definitely knows,,Shadow is more crazier than everyone thought” Saint said and Knox sighed.
“I’m sure Capo will have to just stop whatever he’s planning,going after Shadow?” He scoffed.
“I wonder why the Morning Stars had to go there last night too” Daven said with full mouth.
“Morning Stars went there?” Kian asked.
“Of course..I heard Scylla was badly injured,she’s the only one who got stabbed” Daven said.
“What do you think? Definitely their mother told them to join the vipers,if they got Shadow last night then,Jadaline would take that position,that’s all they care about” Saint scoffed.
Kian sighed.

STAR GIRLS CONDO*
Scylla opened her eyes slowly,it’s noon already and she just woke up from her nap,the pain in her arm reduced a little,a Doctor already attended to her.
She took her phone to check,mainly to see if there’s any call or text from Kian,she believe he heard about how she got injured.
But nothing,,it’s all empty.
She dropped her phone and bit her lower lip.
The door opened and Liliana came in.
“Lotana is here.” She said.
“Don’t let him in….” Before Scylla could finish,Lotana came in and Liliana went out.
“Get out” Scylla got down from the bed.
“I came because I was worried about you” Lotana immediately said and Scylla glared at him.
“Just a little bit please….let me be with you” Lotana said in a pleading voice.
Scylla uttered nothing.

Kian just finished doing his prayers,he got up from the seat and turned to go but then the priest came in,with a smile playing on his lips.
“Good evening young man,I’ve always seen you here praying” he said.
Kian bowed shortly.
“What did you pray against?” The priest asked.
“The Urge” Kian replied.
The priest was confused but then smiled.
“What urge?” He asked.
“Urge to KILL People” Kian answered.
The priest blinked.
