-Yesterday I got engaged to Umberto. If you were to check, you would find the news of my wedding. Umberto’s family likes me very much. His parents also treat me like their own daughter. If you kill me, Umberto will definitely have 10, 000 ways to let you die silently in prison! -Albina continued.
Alex was breathing rapidly, and you could see the whitening of the bones in his fingers due to his strength.
Watching the changes in his expressions, Albina continued to persuade him with words.
-Although you didn’t have freedom when you worked in the mine, at least you hadn’t gone hungry. As long as you worked hard, no one would fight you. But if they imprisoned you, you’d have a lot of vicious people waiting for you. Besides, Umberto won’t let you go. Can you imagine what will happen to you? Your food and your daily needs will be stolen by others and you will be beaten often, but the worst thing is that some prisoners may have some special tastes in prison?
-Shut up!
Alex’s face was full of ferocity. Albina’s description was so detailed that he seemed to have seen the terrible image.
Albina was silent for a moment. When she sensed that he was breathing slower, she continued speaking.
-I can give you a chance. Let me go so I can call Umberto. If you do, Umberto will give you enough money to go abroad. After that, no one will come after you.
Alex seemed to be convinced by his words, but soon returned to normal.
He laughed and clenched the blade tighter.
-Don’t fool me. I won’t be fooled again this time. Last time I was misled by your words and our family walked into your trap step by step. This time I will not believe you.
Albina pursed her lips and frowned. She hadn’t expected Alex to get smarter after escaping from the mine, which complicated things.
-But… -Alex said suddenly.
Albina’s eyes lit up. She thought she could still reverse the situation.
-What you just said makes sense. It’s not worth imprisoning me for killing you. I went out of my way to escape from the mine. How could I be willing to go to prison? -Alex continued.
He laughed, urging Albina to look at Miguel and his companions who were running toward them.
-I don’t dare mess with Umberto lest I fall into your trap. But your lover looks rich too. I think he can give me what Umberto is going to give me.
When Albina saw the eager Miguel, she pursed her lips and fingers.
Noticing his appearance, Alex laughed.
-I thought you loved Umberto very much, but you seem to care about this man too. Have you betrayed Umberto? If Umberto knew, would he have broken up with you?
Albina looked at him coldly. Alex was very disgusting.
-Albina!
Miguel desperately ran inside the spectators. As soon as he got closer to them, Alex got a better grip on Albina and roared at Miguel.
-If you come any closer, I’ll kill her!
Miguel didn’t dare to move. Seeing the blood marks on Albina’s neck, his eyes darkened.
He had been protecting Albina. Even when he was very excited, he didn’t dare hurt her. But this man did.
-Who are you and why did you kidnap Albina?
Miguel’s voice sounded cold. Alex looked at him with caution and ferocity.
-Who am I? I am Albina’s cousin, whose family has been ruined by her!
Hearing this, Albina wanted to slap him. How could he not be ashamed to say those words?
Miguel found out about Alex’s family. When he looked at Alex, his eyes showed sarcasm.
-So you’re Alex, the one who tampered with Albina’s father’s car!
Alex looked embarrassed and angry. He looked fiercely at Miguel and interrupted him.
-Don’t talk nonsense. This time I’m not going to talk to you about those things.
He lifted Albina’s shoulder and said to Miguel.
-Find me a car with a hundred thousand euros. I think it’s easy for you to satisfy my requirements.
Looking into Alex’s eyes, Miguel laughed.
-This request is not difficult for me, but why would I do it?
Alex looked at him in surprise and pushed Albina’s body.
-I have a hostage in my hand. You must like my cousin very much. Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill her?
Miguel laughed coldly.
-I’m afraid, but I can’t believe you yet. Who knows if you’ll kill Albina when I get the car and the money? I can’t believe you!
Alex gritted his teeth. He hadn’t expected Miguel to be so difficult to deal with. According to his experience, Miguel should do his best to meet his requirements, asking him not to hurt Albina.
“Why was the situation reversed?”
“This man doesn’t like Albina?”
Alex regretted. Maybe he should listen to Albina. It was possible that Umberto did what he wanted. After all, it was very clear to him that Umberto really liked Albina.
Just as she was thinking about that, Albina felt that the arm around her neck had loosened for a moment. She gritted her teeth and took the opportunity to step on Alex’s feet.
Alex cried out in pain and unconsciously ducked.
It was a good opportunity for Albina. She quickly ran in Miguel’s direction. She was so nervous that her delicate face was tense.
Miguel and his companions also ran quickly towards Albina.
But almost the moment Albina escaped, Alex had already reacted. Her face was fierce and terrible. Enduring the severe pain, he raised the knife to pierce Albina.
He only thought that he could not let Albina escape from his control.
If Albina lived, he would die. With so many people around, he could not escape at all.
If he couldn’t catch Albina, he will have to kill her. Because he didn’t want to suffer the pain alone.
Lifting the knife, Alex was much closer to Albina than to Miguel.
Miguel’s eyes reddened and almost cracked. He shouted in a hoarse voice:
-Albina!
Albina could almost hear the sound of the knife piercing the sky. This time she could not escape.
Believing her life was about to end, she couldn’t stop thinking about Umberto, so her eyes filled with tears.
She had not remarried Umberto nor had she told him that she loved him very much, and she had not yet become the mother of his future child.
She still had a lot of things to do, she couldn’t die so cowardly at the hands of Alex’s beast!
The sound of the knife piercing flesh was very clear, but Albina could not feel the pain. She was held in someone’s arms.
Leaning against a broad, burning chest, the breath from the nose was familiar. Albina could also hear the fierce beating of her heart.
A pair of strong, powerful arms embraced her tightly, squeezing her waist firmly, as if she had recovered a lost treasure.
-Fortunately I arrived in time.
Hearing Umberto’s hoarse voice, Albina went blank.
Only the screams of the crowd and of Alex, who was being controlled, could be heard.
-Call an ambulance! -Ruben shouted in panic.
Albina’s stomach suddenly ached, and then she fainted.
