I stood on the opposite street as I stared into the room of the person I was planning on murdering while I shoved my hands deep into the hoodie I was wearing as I crossed the street.
I jumped through the back gate and started going to the side of her house as I skillfully dodge the bodyguards strutting around and made my way to the side of her room.
Her parents were millionaires, so it was normal for them to have bodyguards around just like my father’s.
I climbed the tree next to her room and opened the window as I got in swiftly.
She got startled as she dropped her phone on the bed, seem she was having a good time with someone.
“Wh-What are y-you doing in here?” She stammered as she stood up from her bed while I took steps towards her.
“What am I doing in here?” I asked the question myself as a light chuckled escaped my lips before my eyes grew dark with hatred.
“Let’s get this straight, you’ll answer every damn question I ask you and you’ll be dead because I’m not leaving here until you die,” I seethed coldly as she trembled taking steps backward while I followed her till she got trapped to the wall.
“First question, What did you fucking do to Camilla?” I growled at her making her squirm as she tried her possible ways to avoid eye contact with me.
I held her chin harshly making her face me as she whimpered lightly.
“Now! Answer my fucking question!” I yelled at her making her sob lightly as she shook with fear.
“I di-didn’t do anything to her,” She faked sobbed as a light chuckle escaped my lips.
“Warning! Make a noise or die,” I informed her as I pressed my body closer to hers as I felt how rigid she became and a devilish smirk crept on my lips before I gave her my deadpanned looks.
“You think I’m gonna listen to that bullshit,” I clenched my jaw bringing out the gun as I pressed it on her stomach, her eyes widened with so much terror and fear plastered all over her face while she clamped her hands over her mouth to silence herself from screaming.
“For the last time Jenny, what did you fucking do to her, or I will have this gun pierce its bullet through that damn stomach of yours,” I growled pressing the head of the gun on her stomach the more as she froze in her place.
She removed her hand glancing everywhere, praying that someone comes to her rescue but that will never happen not until I’m done with her.
“I-I said something to her, ” She said while I moved back a little still pointing the gun towards her as she glued to the wall.
“What did you fucking say to her?” I asked impatiently moving closer to her trying all the self-control I have in this world not to pull the trigger on her.
“I-I, ac-accused her f-for–”
“For what?” I snapped at her angrily cause she’s fucking wasting my time.
“I accused her of killing her parents, I told her that her parents didn’t like her that’s why they left this world for her, told her she would be alone for the rest of her life and anyone that she loves or that loves her would somehow be managed to leave her all alone one day,” She said panting as she stared at the gun below her stomach while I gazed at her hurtful and unbelievably.
‘How could she be so mean to that extent to tell her those kinds of stuff when she knew her mum recently died, that was what triggered Camilla’s mindset and made her commit suicide,’ I thought getting more furious than ever as my gaze snapped to Jenny who was pleading with her eyes.
“You fucking made her stab herself!” I yelled in her face as she squirmed shakily on her feet.
“I swear, I didn’t mean for that to happen to her,” She stuttered shakily, clasping her fingers together in front of me.
“Get on your fucking knees,” I barked at her as she fell on her knees immediately while I pointed the gun to her head.
“Ple-please!” She begged as hot tears fell from her face.
“I warned you to fucking to stay away from her, you thought I was joking huh?” I seethed pressing the gun on her forehead as her hands covered her mouth immediately as she whimpered and shook on her knees.
“You know me, Jenny, you should have been grateful when I fucking gave you the chance to live but your stupid ass misused the opportunity and now you’re going nowhere but hell,” I growled as she pressed her hands around her mouth tighter and shut her eyes while I was ready to pull the trigger of the gun.
The anger, rage, and fiery ran and pumped through my veins as she awaited her fate.
The demons in me lost control and I was ready to pull the trigger and let the bullet smash that skull of hers until someone pushed me away from her aggressively as my hands pulled on the trigger.
**Ppphaanngg!!**
A loud gunshot echoed around the room while Jenny screamed and I turned around to see who pushed me.
It was Ben…
Before I could register what was happening, he gave me a blow as he kicked the gun away from my hand.
I moved back staring at him in shock, I glanced at Jenny and saw she missed the shot before I growled with fury at Ben.
“What the hell are you doing here?” I growled charging towards him.
“You don’t have to fucking kill her to get your revenge,” He stated and I caught him off guard with a jaw ripping blow.
“You don’t fucking tell me what to do Ben!” I yelled at him watching him stagger before he got hold of his balance and glared at me.
“And does killing her justify that Camilla would ever want that from you, remember you’ve fucking hurt her so much for a very long time, it’s now you’ve come to your senses and think you care about her,” He seethed as his words sliced deep into my heart, it was like I’ve been poured an ice bucket of water on my whole body.
He was right… Fucking right!
I had hurt her more than anyone else has…
We could hear footsteps coming from the door as I and Ben threw murderous glares at each other.
“You need to go before the guards catch you both here,” Jenny said as she wiped her tears while I glared at her.
“Miss. Layton are you okay? Open this door!” One of the guards said pounding on the door as Ben sighed.
“C’mon Lucas, you don’t have to go to this extent we could work all this out,” Ben said as walked closer to me while I just glared at him.
“Don’t fucking touch me!” I said moving back.
“We’re going to break this door, Miss. Layton,” The guards informed as Jenny stood up.
“You both need to leave now,” she said avoiding her gaze at me as Ben walked forward and picked the gun from the floor.
“We’re –”
“I’m coming!” Jenny said loudly even though her voice was still shaky.
Ben urged me to go through the window as he places his hand on my shoulder while I shrugged him off as we walked to the window and jumped out.
We landed on the floor while I heard Ben groan.
I glanced at him for a while and started heading towards the back gate as he followed behind me.
I don’t care if he’s hurt… He should have fucking mind his own business.
We got to where my car was packed distance away from Jenny’s home and Ben was staring at me expecting me to say something.
“Lucas!” He started but I cut him off immediately.
“How did you fucking know I was here?” I questioned taking my steps to him so that we were facing each other and staring into our eyes.
“I know Lucas, I’m not just being your friend today, I know when you have those killer eyes and it was for Jenny obviously,” He said while I snorted.
I didn’t say anything instead I turned around and opened the driver’s door as I got into my car.
Ben went to the passenger’s side and opened the door as I glared at him.
“Jeez calm down!” He chuckled lightly while I tapped my fingers on the wheel steering as my jaw clenched tightly.
“Didn’t you bring your car?” I asked eyeing him.
“I didn’t,” He replied.
“Well, I’m not giving you a ride,” I said as I press the button of my car and the engine came to life.
“Woah! But anyway take your stuff and be careful!” He said throwing the gun at me while I gazed at him as he closed the door and straightened up.
“Where are you going?” I asked curiously.
“To see Jenny, I’ll talk to her,” He said and I zoomed off without replying to him.
My jaw clenched tightly than ever as my fingers wrapped tightly around the wheel starring.
I increased the speed of my car, not caring about the fucking rules on how we should drive in the city.
40 minutes later,
It was already late when I packed my car in the hospital’s park.
I got into the building and went straight to Camilla’s room, as I opened the door quietly.
She was still sleeping while I walked quietly over to her and drew a chair out as I sat beside her watching her calm face.
My heart stung with regrets as my eyes moistened with tears while I took her hand in mine and rubbed it gently, I began to fill the anger in me fade off quickly when I felt her soft skin as my heart was deep with remorse and guilt.
“Camilla!” I started I needed to pour my heart out to her even though she won’t hear me, I need to relieve the grieve aching my heart.
“I don’t even know what to say!” I sighed caressing her hands gently.
“It hurts so much to see you lying helpless on this crazy hospital bed, I’d love to see that
winsome smile of yours I’ve been captivated with each time I stole glances at you when you were having a happy moment with Beatrice but I was being too selfish those days when I would rather make you cry so you won’t captive any other guy,” I said laughing lightly at my stupidity.
I glanced at her face which was still calm and peaceful as a dove.
“I tried to do something bad today, thinking it will help me quench the bitterness of what happened to you, I tried to kill Jenny if not for Ben who intervened on time she would have been long dead by now,” I cracked squeezing her hands lightly.
“I’m so foolish, Camilla,” I cracked trying to stop the tears that wanted to spill out from my face.
“Ben was right, you wouldn’t want me to do anything like that and I’ve hurt you so much than I could ever imagine,” I said staring into her face now.
“I fucking hate myself for what I did to you, for all the trauma I caused you, I regret asking you for forgiveness because I don’t fucking deserve any of your forgiveness, Camilla,” I sobbed lightly, these emotions were too much for me to handle.
“I’m sorry!” I cracked leaning my head to kiss her hand I was holding.
I glanced at her face and stood up lightly leaning closer to her as I kissed her forehead then pressed my lips on her soft lips.
“I love you!” I muttered out before I realized the words that escaped my mouth.
When I looked up at her face, I saw the tears trickle out of the side of her eyes.
She was crying which means she could hear me in her sleep.
I used my thumb to clean the tears off her face before I sat back on the chair and watched her.
