In the pool of their own blood

CASSIUS’S POV
I thought that we’ve moved past that stage.
The stage where my brother. My own fucking twin brother would come as a villain to torture me, all because he was sent away by our father.
I could remember vividly well how it all happened.
Russius, I and Banks were the closest brothers anyone could think of, but when it happened, our bond were severed.
I was still thinking when the door to my room pushed open.
” Brother, what is going on?” Banks asked, his eyes hid fear.
He was afraid of Russius and what he might do since he was back after so many years.
He never showed up when I built my clan, why now if all time?
” Yes. Russius is back. He is with my woman now.” I said grabbing my gun from the drawer. ” I’m heading there.”
” I will come with you.” Bank said, but I frowned.
” Stay back! You don’t know what he is capable of doing!”
” I won’t! He is also my brother, our brother, so let me come along.”
I sighed and walked out for the room fully armed with Banks behind me.
Make sure to come with your gun if you don’t want to get shot.
Dragon was already in front of the car.
He was also worried. Maybe because CeCe is also with Alessia, and both might be in the danger.
” I swear in that motherfucker touch both women, I will kill him myself.” I seethed, as I started the car and drove off in full speed.
We were still on the road, when my phone rang and I picked the video call.
It was from Alessia, and I knew it was all Russius doing.
The face of Alessia came to view.
She was in tears as her mouth was gagged and her legs tied.
” See your woman, Cassius.” Russius taunting voice said from the background of the video.
He dragged the video from Alessia’s face to CeCe’s.
CeCe wasn’t crying, infact she was glaring intently at Russius who pointed a gun on her head.
Dragon almost went insane upon seeing the scene.
” I swear on my late family’s life, motherfucker. If you touch those women, I will kill you and bath with your blood, trust me!” Dragon yelled, his veins popping.
It was the first time seeing him this way.
He has always been quiet and cold, but because of his woman, he was going insane.
” Oh! I never knew you were the feisty type, Dragon. Well, I await you both.” Russius said and brought th video to his face. ” I give you five minutes to get her, or they both dies. Infact, the three of them died.”
There was silent in the car, as I frowned.
What was he talking about?
They were only two women, CeCe and Alessia, so who was the third person?
” Oh, she didn’t tell you?” Russius mocked.
” Tell me what?”
” That she’s pregnant with your child.”
My hold on the steering tightened.
Alessia was pregnant and she didn’t even tell me a word.
” I swear on my life, Russius. Touch my woman and my child, I will follow you to hell and kill you.”
I meant every single words I said.
Even if I have to die, I will make sure nothing happens to my woman and our child.
I added more speed and got to Alessia’s apartment within three minutes.
I literally jumped out of the car with my gun in my hands.
I knocked on the door, which opened on its own.
Going inside, I met Alessia in a pitiful state.
She was looking so dehydrated that I wanted nothing more than to kill my motherfucking twin brother.
” Wow! You’re here earlier than I expected.” Russius smirked, his two guns placed on the head of both Alessia and CeCe.
CeCe’s eyes met with Dragon and his hold on his gun tightened.
” You’re after me, so let them go.” I gritted, aiming my gun at his head.
” That’s partially true.” He clicked his tongue. ” I’m after you, because it you didn’t lie on me, I wouldn’t have been sent away by father, while you enjoy your life with your woman here in Tuscany. But since I’m back, I have to kill you and your woman.”
” She’s carrying a child.” I growled, my eyes another shade darker.
” More reason why I should kill her.”
” This fight is between us, Russius, leave my woman out of this.”
” I hate the fact that despite we share the same face, she can she differentiate you from me. I hate that.”
Russius cracked the trigger, ready to shoot the two women.
” Don’t!” The three of us shouted in unison.
” Drop your fucking guns!” Russius yelled and I lowered my gun and motioned at Dragon and Banks to drop their gun.
They were reluctant at first, but they dropped their guns when I glared at them.
” Get away from the guns!” He yelled again and we walked away from the guns with our hands above our head.
Russius might think he is wise, but I was going to show me that I’m wiser.
We all got away from the guns, my eyes on Alessia.
” Now, let’s see how you save your woman and her child.” Russius grinned and placed the gun further into Alessia’s head.
” Shoot her! I dare you!” I yelled and all eyes snapped towards me.
” Are you out of your mind, brother!” Banks yelled but I ignored him, my eyes fixated on Russius.
He was shocked but quickly snapped out of it.
He smirked.
” Wow, I guess you don’t love her anyways.” He clicked his tongue and leaned down to whisper into Alessia’s ear. ” He doesn’t love you the way you love him.”
Alessia looked at me, her eyes pleading for me to save her from my asshole of a brother.
” What? Why are you hesitating?” I grinned like a manic.
If he thinks he is better than me, I was ready to show him who the true psychopath was.
” Okay, then. Enough with the talking, let’s get into action.” He grinned. ” Goodbye Alessia. In your next life, make sure you love someone better.”
Before he could pull the trigger, I grabbed another gun and immediately pull the trigger.
” Alessia!” My eyes widened in total shock.
There was blood everywhere and both Alessia and Russius were in pull of their own blood.
