All of a sudden, all the lights of the room were switched on making us close our eyes. It took a few seconds for us to adjust to the bright lights. I glanced at Nikolai to see him at the other side of the room, and John was the opposite side, I looked at the front and when recognized the woman standing in front of me in a long black strapless dress with a deep back with her soft black hair which was neatly laid down and she was standing with her back to me, the world around me stopped.
I felt like there was no air in the room, “Venessa?” I whispered.
Hearing me she turned around and my breath hitched looking at her gorgeous face, I couldn’t believe that she was my Venessa. Her red lips with smoky eye shadow and those pink cheeks, she was a completely different person. Her dress was very revealing for my liking, I didn’t understand who she was?. Because my Venessa would never wear this kind of sluty dress and makeup, the situation we are in she wouldn’t dress up like this.
I glanced at Nikolai and saw him looking at her in shock and disbelief John was also in the same trance, I didn’t know what to say or do. She looked at me with void emotions on her face, no smile nor happiness, She just glanced at me and walked towards the switchboard. I was just watching her not knowing what to do, he switched on the lights on the corner side of the room.
I turned my head toward the area and was shocked to see Seth tied up to the chair, he was beaten badly, blood was oozing out of his head and mouth. I immediately stepped ahead towards him, “Ah! Don’t even think of it,” she said while pulling out the gun and pointing it on Seth’s head.
We stopped dead in our tracks looking at her in utter shock, “Venessa?” I said in shock, she kidnapped Seth! But why? She smirked at me while touching the gun to his head.
“It would be so good if you could move back, Lorenzo!” she said the tip of the gun to Seth’s head.
I was just staring at her in disbelief that I didn’t hear what she said, “Enzo!” Nikolai touched my shoulder and pulled me back from them. She glanced at Nikolai, “Thanks for that, Nikolai” she said with a smile on her face, I wasn’t understanding anything at all.
“Now, Enzo how’s that surgery?” she asked, her tone was with full attitude,
I didn’t answer her question and stared at her in confusion, many questions were raised in my head and only she can give me the answers to them. She raised her left eyebrow up with a questioning look on her face, “Okay!” she said while walking towards the desk in front of me.
She leaned her back against the desk while folding her hands over her chest, “You came to take me back, Right?” she asked, looking at me with a serious look on her face, I just nodded my finding lost words.
“Hm… ” she hummed and glanced at Seth, her eyes moved back to me, “Your best friend is also here, Who would you take back?” she said without a trace of emotions in her eyes.
I didn’t understand what to do or say to her, “Wh.. who are you?… you’re not my Venessa… you can’t be her,” I said in disbelief shaking my head,
She chuckled, “Your Venessa?… oh! She died long back ago, darling… I’m not her, I’m not that pathetic Venessa who would easily get manipulated by you,” she said with a low chuckle, I gulped looking at her not knowing what to do for the first time in my entire life.
In my entire 27 years of life, I never stared at someone this helplessly, this is only happening because the person who was standing in front of me is someone I loved more than my own life.
“Okay, Now don’t waste my time with your bullshit Enzo Choose fastly and carefully… him( she pointed her finger at Seth who was tied to the chair) or (smirking at me) me!” I tangled my head to glance at Seth, I didn’t understand what to do. One was my best friend who helped me many times and one was my wife who I loved with my whole heart.
