Chapter 126
Anna
A loud ringing
then my eyes snapped open.
For a second, I was completely disoriented, wondering where the hell I was and then I felt a cold metal biting into my hands and legs.
And then I tried to move and quickly realized I was bound.
"Viktor!"
I screamed as I remembered what he'd said to me before I had lost consciousness.
The bastard had injected me with some kind of sedative.
The door to the bedroom opened and Viktor walked in. He was wearing a different outfit from before.
He'd switched his outfit from a brown sweater and slacks to an all black outfit.
Sleeveless vest and black tight pants.
"You're awake, good." He grinned, his eyes twinkling
"What are you doing? Why are you doing this?" I cried.
He scoffed, pulled a chair out from under the desk, and turned it to face him. Then he straddled it, resting his elbows on the backrest.
"You've got some nerve, Anna. You started this feud. I was just better at it,"
"I don't understand..."
"Oh, save it, pretty girl. I know who you are, Aviana,"
I stiffened, my body turning solid as rock.
"What?" I whispered in shock.
He knew my name.
"Yes. I know who you are. Although that's your middle name. You came to kill me, don't you? He asked with faux calmness.
"I..." I started to say but clamped my mouth shut. There wasn't exactly anything I could say. I was too shocked to say anything. Did everyone know about me but me?
"You know," he drummed his fingers agaist the backrest of the chair, "it was by absolute chance that I found out about you.I was genuinely interested in you. I mean, you're gorgeous, sexy. I could already imagine us fucking on a regular and it would have been great too. Especially behind Duncan's back. Such danger always theilled me.mmbut then I saw something... crazy,"
"What?" I spat, surprisingly calm
I had not expected this at all but
"Your face," he said, tapping his temple. "It clicked one night while I was flipping through old files. I was supposed to be throwing them out too." He chuckled.
" Your mother's face was on a dossier we kept... and then yours. A little girl hiding behind her mother. I remembered the times we would get... drugs from her... You weren't there the night she died. Not even her wife or her other kid "
Other kids? Did he mean Alice?
I swallowed.
"How long have you known about me and who else knows?"
"Not long. When I found out, I began to watch you closely and I have to say, my attraction for you grew."
I puked in my mouth just a little.
He watched me with curiosity yet sharp gaze.
"I know what you did to Senator Donald and Emily. I know a lot of things about you. What I don't know is why on earth you came to Iron Vine. Was it to find the rest of your mother's killers or what?" he asked, tilting his head to the side like a conserved mother.
I didn't say anything for a long moment.
The silence between us thickened, humming with tension and buried memories I had tried so hard to forget.
Viktor's eyes narrowed. "Cat got your tongue?"
"Fuck you!" I seethed.
"Oh, I plan to, that's before I kill you of course. I'm sure that pussy is as juicy as those lips of yours. Never tasted anything so...addicting,"
He groaned, caressing my face.
I jerked my head back, disgust burning in my throat. "Don't touch me!"
Viktor smirked, letting his hand fall away lazily, "Still got that fire. That's what I liked about you, Aviana. You were a good liar... almost as good as your mother."
My jaw clenched. "You don't know anything about her!" I screamed
He laughed, cold, hollow. "Don't I? I knew your mother better than you think. Knew what she traded. Who she betrayed. And who she loved. Funny thing is, she begged for her life. Not for herself, though for you and that little girl."
My heart stopped. "Alice..."
How come I never remembered her.
"No idea what her name is but I see a lot of her in you."
"You killed her," I said, voice shaking with fury. "You were one of them." I swallowed, my eyes boring into his with hate and loathing.
Killing him would be merciful.
"Well, I was ordered to. Plus she betrayed Us.... Killing her was the most merciful thing to do."
"You bastard!" My voice was loud and unforgiving.
"Jees, maybe you're a little more fiery than your mother." He chuckled.
"Who sent you?"
"Nobody, I'm the only one that knows about you."
"Not about this. Who sent you to kill my mother. Who were the other men?"
He grinned wide.
"Why do you need that information? Wouldn't it be easier to get it in the after life from your mother?" He asked with a chuckle.
I glared..
"That was a joke, Anna... Anna right or do you prefer Aviana?"
"Fuck you!" I seethed. Anger bubblwd within me. I hated this
How could I have been so sloppy?
I had made sure I watched my steps, taking esctr precautions. Especially against Levi. Little did I know that Levi wasn't the problem.
"You're eager for me, huh?" Viktor said, ridiculous from his chair and suddenly kissing me hard and fast.
I twisted my head away with every ounce of strength I had, my body arching giant restraints in fury. His lips barely brushed mine before I sank my teeth into his lower lip.
Hard.
He yelped and stumbled back, blood dripping down his chin. "You bitch," he snarled, wiping at the blood with the back of his hand. "You're going to regret that,"
"I already regret ever letting you touch me,"
"You know, for someone about to die, you really are picking your battles recklessly,"
I watched as his lips healed in an instant and felt the urge to scream.
"You're a monster," I spat, watching in disgust as the blood on his lip vanished -skin sealing like it had never been torn
Viktor grinned, unfazed. "And you kissed me, monster and all,"
"I bit you, you sick bastard,"
"And I liked it."His smile was feral now
"That fire in you... It's delicious. I understand why Duncan wants you now."
He bared his teeth.
"You're a work of art, one I want to dive in. No matter how brief."
He slowly walked towards me and began to kiss down my neck, moaning.
His hands found my breast and he palmed, squeezing lightly.
"Stop it," i pleaded. "Get your hands off me,"
"Oh, but why, my love, you're the one who wanted to fuck me so bad,"
"Let go of me, please,"
"Yes, beg me." He groaned and began teae my shirt.
Tears rushed down my face and I felt the urge to scream and cry as he touched me intimately against my Will.
I squeezed my eyes shut, heart pounding like a war drum, throat tightening as shame and fear clawed up my spine.
Then-
BANG!
The sound cracked through the room like a thunderclap.
Viktor froze.
The door suddenly opened and a single bullet tire through the air, hitting Viktor square in the face.
Azeal
Tim
Alice.
