Amirah’s Pov
“Ariel would have died either way, I don’t want to believe it you killed 500 people just for fun you made my life a living hell and you’ll keep on killing just for the thrill of it.” I pointed the gun in front of Caine.
“You wouldn’t shoot an old man would you? ” He grinned while I clicked to the riffle of the gun.
“You’re not an old man, you are a worthless bastard who deserves to die.” I fired the bullet at Caine but Alec took the bullet instead falling flat to the floor.
“Alec? ” a tear rolled down my cheek, he was smiling and started coughing.
“At least I know you still care for me Dorothy, this time I’ll actually die but seeing your face I can move on.” he said on his last breath.
“Kill them all.” I Looked back at Caine as his men surrounds the building.
“Protect Amirah.” Hunter ordered while the gun charade started, some men used their body as shields I saw my Colt escaping, I left their protection and ran up to him at the altar.
He went through some door and I followed it was nothing but darkness, I pulled out my phone turning on the flashlight.
“Show yourself you worthless quack, you killed your half brother, faked your Death and killed my sister, at least be brave enough to face the last survivor.” I pointed my gun alert of my senses.
The place was dark like some office or something.
I felt his presence behind me I quickly turned and hit him with the butt of my gun, he groaned in pain.
“I should have killed you with your parents.” he hissed in pain, I pick up something like a glass vase and slam it against his head with the rage built up in me.
I flashed my flashlight phone against him he was bleeding, I kneed him on his balls and kicked him down. He was defenseless at this point.
I pulled out my gun towards him.
“I waited for this day, I cried every night after I got my memory back to inflict the same pain you inflicted on me three years ago, I would have given up in life, but I didn’t thank you uncle, thank you for motivating everyday to know that someday I will kill you, thank you for ruining my life because if it hasn’t been for you I wouldn’t have been this happy, broken but yet fulfilled.” I clicked on to the riffle.
“Thank you for murdering my parents and bringing out the devil my parents tried to hide from me I wished you nothing but a sweet gate pass to hell.” I fired the bullet three times until I was sure he was dead.
A rod came against the back of my head, everything was a blur and my head hurts obviously I collapsed to the floor and my eyes went shut.
******
I woke up in a white room, it had the sweet smell of tulips my favorite, everything was normal, I got up from the bed I was wearing the same white there was a door in the middle of the room I pushed past it to see my parents, Anabelle, Tiffany and Amelia they were all eating and giggling.
“What are you doing there silly? ” Amelia question pulling me to the dinning room while she gave me biscuits.
“What’s going on? ” I asked puzzled.
“What are you talking about? ” Amelia asked.
“Something is wrong here, why doesn’t this feel right ?” I asked
“Maybe it’s because we went drinking last night and got drunk maybe you aren’t fully sober.” Amelia suggested.
I looked back at my parents who were busy making small talk, this didn’t feel normal for some reason.
“Hunter Dominiquez is my ideal type.” Tiffany muttered. “Hunter Dominiquez? Hunter? Hunter? Hunter !!! ” I muttered my eyes shot open, Tiffany, Amelia and Anabelle disappeared leaving me with my parents.
“Stay Amirah, you’ll be safe here.” they muttered in a creepy tone.
“Where am I? You both are dead I watched you burn.” I yelled at the top of my voice.
“Right now you’re unconscious and your mind created a fragment of peace do you want to give that up? ” My mother spoke.
“So my mind did all of this how do I wake up?” I asked.
“Find Peace, you keep making decisions and hurting yourself and you never find peace within yourself, you could slide into a coma or worse die in your unconscious state, Hunter will die, so will your child and everyone you love.” my mother spoke.
“But Colt is dead.” I mummered.
“Colt isn’t your problem Amirah, even if he didn’t die he doesn’t have the power he will still be killed by Caine.” she muttered.
“Bring that peace to yourself.” she muttered as my father came forward.
“Why did you risk our lives with an empire? ” I asked he just remained quiet. “I didn’t want you to be a part of it and neither did I want Colt to have it.” he mummered.
“I hate you both, you kept like some prisoner for all these years, you kept secrets away from me you died and left me even though I know it’s not your fault I think pushing the blame on you would lessen the pain, I hate I never got to live a normal life and I still hate I never will, thank you for being my parents.” They both nodded and the image of them disappear, I was now in an empty room, the room framed into my apartment back in New York.
My sister sat on the bed, I walked towards her, she got up from the bed looking into my eyes.
“I hate you the most for lying to me, you were annoying I just can’t believe I didn’t think or know you’re my sister.” tears streamed down her cheek. “Thank you for trying to give me a normal life, I love you sis.” I said as she nodded and disappear.
I turned to see Esther, she walked up to me.
“Should I go ahead and make peace with you? ” I asked.
“The only way I will have peace is if Caine is dead, wake up Amirah, wake up.” a loud sting clocked against my ears.
“Amirah wake up..”
My eyes opened weakly I saw a blurred image of Thiago and Ally.
They help me up while I rested my back against my sofa.
“What the hell happened? ” I asked in severe pain. “We found you unconscious next to the body of your uncle, you almost died for reals this time.” Thiago muttered, no wonder I was seeing those things they were probably dreams.
“Do you remember the last thing that happened to you at the church? ”
“Nothing, except being knocked out shit my head hurts.” I groaned in pain.
“Where am I and where is Hunter? ” I asked.
“Caine has Hunter and I can’t tell you because I don’t trust you, Amirah remember when I said about ending your I didn’t mean someone should end it for you, your life is in danger.” Thiago said.
“That’s my life not yours Thiago.”
“The building that Caine blew up Hunter got them to safety so nobody died, Amirah listen to me Hunter wants you to go into hiding.” he said.
“Colt and Alec are dead it’s Caine left Thiago we can kill him.” I said.
“No we cannot take that risk, Hunter’s decided to risk his life so you can live one, stop making inadequate decisions and listen to me Hunter can afford new houses, new men, new cars but he can’t afford a new Amirah, all Hunter does is to protect you and even though you hate him at the end for his decision he’s happy dying just to know you are still alive.” tears rolled down my cheeks.
Maybe he had a reason to kill Ariel, he was trying to protect me, I couldn’t even protect her if I could.
“Where are we? ” I asked.
“We are in Detroit in one of the hideouts, Paisley and Kaleb are hiding too, Hunter is with Caine, we don’t know if he’s alive or dead but you are supposed to rest, Ally and I are going to check out if the state is clear so we can travel as soon as possible, Campus and Noah are going to watch you.” he said and I nodded, Campus came out giving me pitiful looks.
“Make sure she doesn’t leave.” Thiago said wearing his jacket and leaves with Ally, I looked back at Campus.
“Hey Amirah, how’s the baby? ” Campus asked.
“How do you know I’m pregnant? ” I asked.
“Paisley told Hunter.” I knew she would tell him.
“Unlucky me, a girl who ruined everything and came between war letting her feelings control her gets pregnant and can’t even keep the baby because of a stupid code.” I said avoiding eye contact.
“What do you mean? ” he asked.
“The Dominquez, I can’t even keep the baby if it’s a boy.” I mummered.
“The code is broken, I overheard Thiago and Ally talking about it, Hunter isn’t the actual Heir to be honest it’s Derek, the mother switched them from birth, she somehow thought if Hunter took the family business instead she could break the code, she only broke the loophole somehow when Derek was alive, Hunter thought he was the oldest so he could still had have children still but he decides to follow the rules after finding out.” he said.
“That’s why he told his mother he hated her.” I said in awe.
“Technically yes, Hunter was also responsible he knew still what his mother did and still decided to live up to the legacy to protect his brother, he’s lost everyone now he doesn’t want to loose you too.” Campus muttered.
