LUCIUS DEVINE
“Where is she?” I questioned, shooting the man standing beside Sandro.
Sandro only grinned at me.
“Go on. Keep killing. Your blood thirsty self loves this so much”
“Where the fuck is Lisa, you bastard?!”
“You were quick but this place has at least a hundred rooms and your darling Lisa is in one of those rooms. She has a tape around her mouth so she can’t scream for your help. Now, you have to find which room she is in and get out of here. In three minutes cause this place is going down in rumbles in three minutes” Sandro eyes glinted as he grinned.
“You have just three minutes”
“You motherfucker!” I cursed, lunging at him for a second but I knew that was not what I had to do at the moment.
Lisa. I had to find her and I had to rescue her and get the both of us out of this place as soon as possible.
Shoving past him with the gun still in my hand, I screamed out her name.
“Lisa!”
“Everyone of you, fucking search the rooms!” I thundered out an order.
“Yes boss” filled the place for a while before everyone moved away, searching the rooms.
I had never hated a building of many rooms this much in my fucking life. I ran, pushing each door I could find open and finding each and every door empty.
“Lisa!!” I called out again, hoping that somehow she would get the tape off her mouth and tell me where she was too.
Taking the stairs, I raced to the next floor and finally found that a room that was locked.
I didn’t have much time. The elevators in this building weren’t working. I had to get Lisa and get us out of here real soon.
“Lisa!” I called at the door and heard the noise of shuffling around.
A bullet to the door knob and a kick was all it took to get the door down. I barged into the room and found Lisa struggling with Irene. A tape was roughly on her mouth but her legs and hands were untied.
Irene seemed to have been trying to keep Lisa quiet.
Fucking Irene! I should have gotten rid of her anyways.
Without contemplating, I shot at her but missed trying not to harm Lisa whom she was holding close to her.
With anger, rage and urgency in my veins, I was about to shoot again when Lisa screamed.
“Don’t!!”
“Don’t do it, please!” She screamed. I should have listened to her, I should have listened to my cupcake and do only what she allowed me to do but this was a matter of her safety and when it came to her safety, I was willing to do things she didn’t want me doing.
The next shot I fired went straight to Irene’s side and with a painful groan, she let go of Lisa and dropped to the floor.
“Irene!” Lisa cried out and crouched to look at Irene but I didn’t let her.
We didn’t have so much time to waste. I grabbed her, throwing her over my shoulders and running out of the room.
“Let go of me! Let me go!” She screamed, sending punches to my back but I couldn’t feel it.
I was running on way too much adrenaline to feel her light punches at all.
“Irene is there! Let me go!”
I didn’t say a word in response to her as I ran down the stairs.
“Everyone fucking get out!” I heard Andro yell the moment he saw me with Lisa.
If I hadn’t found Lisa, we were all dying in this building. All of us. We got out of the building and I continued to sprint away from it.
We were lucky. We had only gotten a bit away from it when the first explosion happened.
By the third explosion, we were at a safe distance already. I grabbed my car door, dropped Lisa in the seat and shut the door.
I got in the other side, dropped the gun and took one deep breath before revving the car into motion.
There was a whimper from beside me and then another whimper.
“I… What was all of that?” There was a small sob.
I was so fucking glad that Lisa was safe now and that she was here by my side but now I had lots to think about. How much was she told by Sandro? How much has she thought about all of this? What were the conclusions in her mind? What was she thinking? How in the world could I answer all of her questions without her hating me?
“You… You killed Irene” she burst into tears.
“Irene was the one who kidnapped you, right? She hurt you, she deserved to die” the words left my mouth as honestly as my heart told it.
“She hurt me! Not you! I didn’t ask you to kill her” Lisa sobbed.
I hated seeing the tears in her eyes. I hated the pain that was so visible. I hated the way her shoulders shook with her tears.
“Fuck” I cursed and pulled the car over. We were on a high way.
“Cupcake” I called her as softly as the situation would let me.
“Lucius” she called before drawing in a deep breath.
“What is going on? Why the killings? What… What the hell is happening?” She cried.
“Why do you have a gun with you? How are you involved with Irene and that… That man, Sandro? Are you… Are you really the person they said you are? Are you…”
“Lisa” I cut her off gently.
“I love you so much” I raised my hands to her face and cupped her face.
Her face was red from all the crying and her hair was rough too.
Those bastards. Sandro and his bastards are so fucking going to pay for all of this.
I pulled her close to me and made her lean her head into my chest. She sobbed into my chest while I whispered to her how it was going to be okay and how much I loved her.
In a minute or two, Lisa was asleep. I gently pulled her back and reclined the seat to help her sleep a bit more comfortably.
Tucking the hair out of her face, I knew that the peace was over. I tucked my hand into hers gently and squeezed it softly.
I didn’t want to ever let go of Lisa but this….
Shit! I can’t let go of her. ‘
I can never let go of you, Lisa. You are my addiction. My obsession. An addiction I don’t want to get rid of. One I am incapable of getting rid of.’
