ALESSIA’S POV
Upon getting to my apartment, I was so tired and my legs weren’t left out.
They were sore and so was middle, due to how rough Cassius was.
After taking a cold shower, I was about to retire to bed, when I heard banging on my door.
I jerked up, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
” Who…is that?” My voice trailed off, as I grabbed my Pepper spray, ready to use it all on the person banging on my door.
” Open the door, Alessia. It’s me, Lucas.” A masculine voice spoke up, and that was when I let my guard down.
Going forward to the door, I opened it and drunk Lucas staggered into my apartment.
My brows creased, as I locked the door and turned around to face him.
” Why are you here?” I placed both of my both hands on my waist.
” I came to apologise.” Lucas slurred, his eyes rolling continuously, while I stared blankly at him.
” As you can see, Lucas.” i started, my breath whooshing as i dipped my fingers into my hair. ‘ I’m about to go to bed. Can you please leave?”
” But what about my apology, Alessia?” Lucas started, staring deep into my eyes. ” I know I’ve hurt you so much, but I came to ask for your forgiveness. Can’t you just let me finish?”
” I won’t!” my voice was slightly higher than normal. ” I don’t need your fucking apology, so can you fucking leave my apartment?”
I was already getting angry and could break down at any fucked up moment, so before I do, i wanted Lucas to leave.
It would be so fucking embarrassing if he sees me crying.
” I’m sorry, I didn’t know you will get mad.” Lucas hung his head low as he muttered. ” I will take my leave now.”
He staggered towards the door and was about to push it open, when we both heard a knock from outside the door.
My brow deeped with a frown as i went to open the door.
I wasn’t expecting any visitors.
A sigh escaped my lips as i opened the door to see Rachel standing with a glare.
” What do you want from me?” I asked, tired from everything that was already happening.
” Where is my husband?” Rachel asked, dragging her gaze from my into my apartment, in search of Lucas.
” He is inside. Come take him with you.” I left the door wide open, so Rachel could come in.
” Why would he come here? Bitch! You’ve seduced him, haven’t you?” Rachel flared up, glaring daggers at me, whose arms were folded, just waiting for her dramas to be over so I could finally take a rest.
” Your husband is dead drunk, he came her to apologize to me for everything he has done.” I stopped and swiped my lips across my tongue. ” And since I don’t give a fuck about his apologies, please take him away.”
Rachel scoffed as she walked closer to me. ” You expect me to believe such story?”
” And do I look like I want you to believe it or not?” I also walked closer, my aura intimidating.
Maybe, I have indeed learnt quiet a few things from Cassius.
His intimidating and dark aura.
Rachel gulped and back out, still glaring at me, but do I give a flying fuck? No, I don’t.
” Did he tell you anything?” She asked while i raised a brow.
” He told me quiet a few things,” I started. ” So which are you talking about?”
” All! What did he say?” Rachel shouted.
” He told me you seduced him and never thought of me as a real friend.” I stopped talking, staring deep into Rachel’s eyes. ” Is that true?”
” Yes of course.” Rachel smirked like a bitch that she was. ” I came to you on purpose. To destroy your life and everything you hold dearly.”
Rachel’s voice was downright terrifying and filled with dark hatred towards me.
It made my skin crawl and my heart break into thousands of pieces.
She had used me. She was never my friend, but an enemy.
” Why?” That was the only word I could form from my mouth, as tears welled up in my eyes.
No matter how hard I think I could train my heart, it always get softened in a matter of time.
Now of all times, when I tried to stop myself from crying, I couldn’t.
The tears kept pouring and pouring uncontrollably.
” Why, you say?” Rachel scoffed. ” Don’t you remember?”
” Remember what, Rachel?” I shouted, more tears pouring out of my eyes. ” I can’t remember a fucking thing, so fucking spill out the truth!”
” You abandoned me, Alessia!” Rachel also yelled. The tension in the sitting room getting intended, while Lucas kept blinking like a lost puppy.
His head was already dangling due to the alcohol, but the shouts from we, the two ladies, was sending his head spiralling.
” And when did I do that, Rachel?” I heaved a sight, as I dipped my fingers into my hair in frustration. ” If you can’t fucking get straight to the point, leave my house!”
” When we were at the orphanage. We were best of friends, but you abandoned me and followed your new family!” Rachel said, while i staggered backwards in shock.
The shock sent my head spiralling like I was having an hangover after drinking alcohol all through the night.
” What. Did. You. Just. Said?” I asked, laying out the words, one after another.
” You fucking heard me!” Rachel flared, her voice laced with hatred. ” You told me to wait for you in that old building beside the orphanage, but you never came! You abandoned me!”
” I didn’t! I didn’t abandoned you!” I cried, shaking my head as my hand flew across my lips. ” My new parents were in a hurry to pick me up, so I couldn’t say my goodbyes to you, Risabel.” I said, my voice filled with regret and guilt.
” Don’t fucking call me that!” Rachel flared up. ” My name is Rachel nor Risabel!”
” Do you’re here to take revenge?” I asked, trying to convince myself that Rachel was no more the Risabel i once knew.
” Yes. And I planned to take everything from you, including your life!” Rachel smirked like a manic as she took out a gun from her bag, pointing it at me.
I froze instantly, and my breath hitched.
” I would kill you right now, and leave the country with Lucas.” She smiled, and it slowly turned into laughing.
It felt like she was running wild and would need to visit a psychiatrist hospital soon.
” Don’t do this, Risabel.” I warned. ” I’m really sorry for what I did years back. I’m sincerely sorry.” I apologize.
” But it’s too late, yunno.” Rachel tilted her head, her eyes shining brightly with mischievous intents. ” I have already practiced killing you for over a hundred times, so I can’t back down now that I have the opportunity.”
” You will end up in jail if you do this. ” I warned, trying to get her head in place, but it was too late.
” Our flight is ready. We are leaving as soon as i kill you.”
She placed her fingers on the trigger, and just when I was about to open my mouth and stop her, she shot at me.
I froze as blood came rushing out of shoulder.
” Goodbye bitch!” Rachel laughed. ” See you in hell.”
With that said, she dragged Lucas with her, leaving my apartment.
I fell on my knees weakly, feeling every blood in my body getting drained, and my eyes drowsy.
” Ca…Cassius.” I called, before shutting my eyes completely, giving in to darkness.
