Chapter 63: WITNESSING MURDER
Arianna
“The woman you’re claiming to be your wife is mine and mine only. I’m her husband and personal villain who takes pleasure in inflicting torture and misery on people who deserve it. Now I am going to end your life, and it won’t be pretty. I suggest that you cooperate with me if you want to live at least without your balls, but piss me off again, your brains will be blown all over this place like raspberries in springtime. I’m someone you don't mess with. Not when it comes to her. You should’ve known that if you cross me, I will hunt you down and will not be generous to spare you. You’re alive right now because I don’t want to scare my wife, but if I were an idiot, I could change that in a few seconds. Did you really think she was going out with some stupid boy who just wants to make a fool of himself like you? That I will not find you?” He lets out a dark chuckle.
The man had the audacity to scoff,” You’re bluffing! You will not kill me here. Too many people in the club, so-“
“I said, fucking shut up if you want to live more than those five seconds.” For the impact, he hits the side of his head with the gun he was holding, and Brian groans in pain.
“For a stalker, you’ve got no security here. No one is coming to save you,” he added in a chilling whisper, which sent goosebumps all over my skin.
Seeing him like this made me feel conflicted. On one hand, I wanted to run far away from here before I became a part of whatever is being planned here.
I didn’t want to see someone suffer, even though the guy deserves it.
Then on the other side…I wish I could be by his side right now as his wife, be strong enough to handle his way of bringing justice, and to understand the way he is protecting me.
To deal with his demons as he slays them for me.
My fucked up mind hated the violence, but I loved him enough to appreciate his help to get rid of my painful past. I secretly loved that he could kill someone for me. The thoughts were jumbled together; I didn’t know how I felt. I didn’t want to know. There was a niggling fear in my heart, one which kept me from doing something I shouldn't do, and the thought of losing Vincent terrified me. This man was my life, my love, my everything.
It made me turn around to see Brian smiling like a maniac,” You think I’m stupid to just let you in? I had a good assumption that you both would come here tonight. So I put my plan in motion. And if you’re smart, then I highly doubt you will want to fight your way out and risk getting caught. Especially if you don’t even know about it,” a dark smile plays on his lips as he looks up at him.
My blood ran cold in anger; why did he have to go through all these lengths to get his revenge?
“Bastard,” my whisper filled with rage, my fists clenched so tightly that my nails dig deeper into the flesh of my palms.
Vincent turns to look at me and tsked,” What did I say, little rabbit? Don’t watch this. It’s going to be too hard if you watch.”
That’s true. I knew he would use every means to keep me from seeing what he was about to do.
I couldn’t tear my eyes away.
Golden eyes like sandstorm stare into my ocean blue ones, piercing me like a thousand needles, making me forget the pain. Waiting for me to look away.
“Yes, watch him kill me. See the monster you’re fucking, you little whore,” Brian spits in disgust as Vincent presses the gun closer to his face to press the barrel harder against his head while his gaze never leaves my own.
His other gloved hand grabs the man’s jaw to push his fingers deeper into his eye socket. The move daring me to look away, to run.
But I couldn’t.
The fear and my pain of him coming after me again and completing his revenge makes me step closer to where they are both leaning against the sofa.
I meet Brian’s stare,” You hurt me.” My voice was shaking, my hands trembling, but still, I held back from running away. I stood in front of his face and took a deep breath, ”You tried to rape me and even almost killed us in that parking lot. You deserve to rot in prison for life if my husband doesn’t kill you. I’m the reason you’re still breathing, you piece of shit,” chest heaving, Vincent starts grinning at my words, dark satisfaction clear on his features.
“Baby, you will make me horny again if you keep talking like that,” he murmurs, making me gulp nervously in nervousness.
“And why’s that?” I ask hesitantly.
I saw him lick his lips as he looks me straight in the eyes, a small satisfied grin on his handsome face,” You’re giving me a rush, baby. Keep that up and I will fuck you in front of his corpse if I intend to kill him myself,” he smirked making me shudder, I wasn’t sure if he was serious or just saying that as a sick joke.
Just as I was about to look away, I noticed Brian watching me intently, and I gulped nervously under his intense glare. Was he scared? Jealous? Disgusted? It felt like watching a crime movie from the sidelines.
Honestly, I didn’t care. I only cared about Vincent. Nothing else.
“Stop being so horny. We need to arrest him,” I roll my eyes, my cheeks flaming crimson, knowing we are not alone.
The blind eye fills with blood from the pressure of Vincent’s fingers when Brian whines with a sneer,” Lock me up then. I will just tell them everything you did, and both of you will also get your own shot to rot in prison. Your bitch is following you like a dog in heat, even in the face of someone’s suffering. Disgusting.”
Rolling his shoulders back from stiff muscles, Vincent clenches his jaw and pulls his arm back to swing his fist against his face, the blood rushing down his nose like waterfalls.
Screaming in pain, Brian tries to push him off, but the twitch of the trigger is all the warning I need before I close my eyes and hear him howl from the wound as the bullet goes through his skull, causing him to slump onto the sofa in a lifeless heap.
Slamming my palm on my forehead, I try to calm my nerves as I open my eyes to witness the scene unfolding before me.
Shaking my head in disbelief and feeling disgusted with myself for just standing there, I turned to Vince, who watched Brian’s body lying unmoving on the seat.
He really killed him.
