DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW
Sometimes life hits you with an unexpected presence, you ask for one person and it provides you with that person and the one person you never knew you wanted to see, I looked at Valentina without the face covering, she looked innocent with her eyes closed and her hands balled into a fist, nobody would ever believe that this innocent looking Angel is nothing but a murderer, that she is so fake, nobody would believe that this innocent look is nothing but a facade, a charade to hide the real untrustworthy blood sucker that she is.
I was genuinely surprised to have her in my presence, I had only sent for Giovanni, that weak spineless bastard who had disrespected my cousin, I wanted to teach him a lesson, I am still deciding if I should just maim him or kill him, I am leaning more towards killing him so that Isla can find another replacement, maybe the one Isla finds for my cousin Leilani would be much better and if he isn’t his body would be burnt up just like Giovanni’s probably going to be. He doesn’t deserve to live.
And as for Valentina, I’m still trying to decide what to do to her, when I had no chance of meeting her I was so sure that I would end her life whenever I meet her but now… now I am not so sure. I will make sure she pays, I would definitely punish her but killing her… I think it takes things too far, I would leave her alive and then punish her every single time I remember her transgressions.
“Release the both of them.” I said gesturing to the two people that were tied up by Giovanni’s side, their clothes are not worn the right way, it looks like they dressed up in the dark or in a rush so I can imagine what they had been doing with Giovanni.
My gaze turned to Valentina, I stared at her hard. I wonder what SHE had been doing with Giovanni, did she do what these girls had most likely been doing with him! Did she let him touch her in the way that only I should! I imagineer his grubby sleezy hands on her and I immediately felt sick to my stomach but there was something else that troubled me… the anger that I felt at the thought of them fucking! I shouldn’t feel this anger! She can do whatever for all I care! I shouldn’t care what she does with herself but I do and now I can not bear to look at her because when I do all I see is that stupid Giovanni on her.
“Take her upstairs and lock her up, I will decide what to do to her when I get back.” I ordered and proceeded to walk out. Then remembered something.
“By the way release Giovanni’s hoes.” I said and was about to leave when one of the guys spoke.
“Release them?! Master Diego what if they tell the police or something.” The guy said, I chuckled, newbies they know little or nothing about my
Power and influence, I should really show off a lot more.
“They would tell no one.” I replied in a matter of factly manner.
“And if they try to report that would be the beginning of their undoing. I mean I never get tired of plunging bullets into peoples’ heads and the case they were trying to build? For all you know it would get swept under the rug. I have loyal people or should I say people who owe me their lives in the force.” I replied with a sly grin while looking one of the girls straight in her eyes not giving her the chance to look away. They would do nothing I can tell, I’ll probably send them some money for therapy or something, enough money for them to forget this ugly experience.
I walked out of the place, picked up my car key and left, I have to think of what to do to her, I can not just let her go free.
I have a business deal to close at the conference hall downtown so I drove to that and then return without actually knowing what I am going to do to Valentina.
I got back into the mansion, ordered that Valentina be brought to my room, I have to have a talk with her maybe it would help me decide her punishment.
“So you killed my brother and then tried to deceive me into falling in love with you huh?” I said and did my best to keep my face unfeeling and nonchalant even though speaking about her betrayal cuts deep into me, even though all I want to do is break character and actually ask her why she would do that to me? What about me made her want to hurt me like that? I wanted to ask her if she knew that I was starting to fall in love with her? That I probably still love her, I love that somehow continues to flourish against my will. I wanted to ask her if she loves me like I maybe love her? But I maintained my nonchalance and instead poured some of the wine I had just opened out of the bottle into two cups.
My phone started to buzz continuously, I was going to ignore it and instead focus on he task at hand but the call Id said it was Leilani and the repeated calls suggested that she was probably in danger so I poured some of the wine quickly into the two glasses and proceeded to the hallway to take the call, leaving Valentina there un-cuffed there is no way she can escape anyway, she wouldn’t make it past this door.
I went out to take my call and returned just a few minutes after.
“What was your plan Valentina? What was the end game? Kill me like you did Dester?” I asked as I handed her her drink. She took a sip and stared right into my soul, her legs were crossed, she looked perplexed like she couldn’t believe that I would think that, I guess she probably thought that she has somehow succeeded to turn me into a fool, the thought annoyed me but I somehow maintained my cool and took a sip of the wine because my throat was starting to feel a bit clogged.
“I did not kill your brother Diego.” Valentina said in a calm and collected way. Her voice contained that smoothness that haunts my dreams, that voice that had once called my name in sensual moans.
“Why would you think that?” She added, she looked hurt. Bullshit! Who is she trying to deceive with that fake innocence?! I lost my cool, held her neck around my fist, she continued to stare into my eyes.
“Do it let’s get this over with.” She said calmly. I wanted more than anything to press that fist tightly around her neck and end her breaths but somehow I couldn’t.
“Arghhh!” I yelled out in frustration as I took my hand away from her neck. Why can’t I just kill this bitch?! For fuck sake!
“Let’s just get this over with Diego! I am tired of looking over my shoulder and wondering when you would appear to punish me for a crime I did not commit. Kill me Diego maybe then I can at least Rest In Peace.” She said. She had tears streaming down her face.
She is a liar, a master manipulator! Diego do not believe her! She is not innocent! Do not fall for those tears! I said these words to myself over and over again. I wanted to feel anger, something that would urge me to kill her but I felt nothing but the need to comfort her and stop those tears from coming.
“Kill me now Diego because the next time we meet it would be me trying to kill you.” She said, I felt the rage in her eyes. Somehow the thought that she hates me gave me the push I needed.
I wrapped my hand around her neck, my fist got tighter around her neck, she was starting to struggle and then I was starting to feel her consciousness slip away from her slowly, she was still alive but not for long, I pressed on but then I felt myself starting to get weak, my grip around her neck started to loosen and then I fell to the bed, my eyes closed shut, I drifted away… unconscious….
