Chapter 113 Àlvaro's Pov.
“You're a fucking coward, Anthonio.” I muttered in frustration as I watched him cough up blood on the ground. Sympathy? No. I wanted to spill more of his blood but I knew that if I start, I wouldn't stop until he was dead. “To betray me like this after everything we've been through together?”
“I understand that my father did it out of recklessness but you knew how much Chloe meant to me yet you still killed her.” Camilla’s voice cut through the silence like a blade making us both to look at her. Her gaze was dark, like death and she has her fists clenched. “You knew how much I cared about her. You knew how much I suffered after her death. I let you console me yet you were behind it this whole time.” My blood rushed through my body and I drove my fist into his jaw and he hissed in pain.
He deserved it.
I grabbed him by the collar. “Tell me Anthonio, was your loyalty to me also a big fat lie?”
“This bitch has made you weak, Àlvaro. This is not the Àlvaro I know. You're no longer fit to lead. Leonardo promised to let me take over your empire when he's done with you and that's the only reason I didn't have her killed too.”
I hit him again and again, a huge amount of blood making my hands dirty. His eyes was already swollen but all I wanted to do was hit him again.
“Too bad for you, Anthonio.” I hissed against him, looking at his bloodied face. “You're never getting anywhere near my empire!” I slammed his body into the wall with force as I made my way towards Camilla.
Her eyes were absorbed in me and only me. As it should be. I didn't take my eyes off her for even a second as I stopped only an inch away from her, our bodies almost touching. My gaze was locked on her.
“You think she's made me weak but I've never felt stronger in my life.” I said to Anthonio still not taking my eyes off Camilla and as if to prove my point and make my words sink in Anthonio's fucking head, I pulled her by the waist and her body collided with mine as I kissed her hard and with need. Without warning, without permission.
It's pathetic how a single kiss from this woman can light up my body as if I'm on fire, craving more and more from her sweet lips. She's putting my damn demons on their knees with her mouth. I pressed her close to my body. She was so small in my arms yet she had so much fucking power over me. She moaned against my lips and my hands grabbed her ass, leaving my fingerprints on her skin.
As if she wanted to put on a bigger show, she pushed her tongue inside my mouth, her little hands exploring my body, touching, squeezing, burning my skin, making me groan against her mouth. My tongue fought with hers for dominance, our mouths moving perfectly. Shit! She's driving me crazy.
When her hands reached my belt, squeezing it in her palm, for a second, I wanted to rip the shirt off her sweet body and fuck her right here in front of Anthonio, claim her as mine as she's coming around my cock, screaming my name.
But if I let Anthonio watch her break apart as she came, if I let him see her naked body and hear her sweet sounds, I know that I'll have to kill him right after. No one deserves to see her like that except me. My jealousy will get the best of me and I won't think twice before I put a bullet in his skull.
I cursed in my mind, pulling away from her with force. My lips missed hers instantly but I had to pull away before I do something stupid. I was still holding her in my arms as we both breathed heavily, our eyes locked.
Maybe Anthonio was right. Maybe she has actually made me weak but I'll never give him the pleasure of seeing Camilla in a state of ecstacy. That sight was meant for me and me alone.
I kissed Camilla on her forehead before I turned to Anthonio with a grin on my face, hiding Camilla from his view.
“You deserve to die after betraying me and after what you just said. You're brave, Anthonio. I'll give you that but luck wasn't on your side.” He looked to stunned to speak. “But as much as I want to kill you, I won't do it.” I shook my head as I saw a spark in his eyes full of hope. Such a pathetic view. He claims that I'm weak until he's the one benefiting from said weakness. He's the one trying to play dangerous games in our world but he's such a little coward who's afraid to die. You can't allow yourself to be afraid of death. Not in the world we live in.
“You go back to Leonardo and tell him that the war the both of you started, I'll be the one to finish it.” I nodded at him, my voice cold and low, making sure he saw the promise my eyes were holding. The way his face went pale was more than a pleasurable view for me. He knows what I'm capable of. He's known me since we were kids. “But for now, I would like to spend time with my girl.”
Anthonio cursed again, hissing at my face as he tried to free himself even though he knows damn well he can't. Anthonio was no longer confident in himself at all. That's good, I like it when I see the fear in his eyes.
Without saying another word, I grabbed Camilla’s hand, intertwining our fingers together and that touch alone was enough to send chills all over my damn body. I left the room with her in hand, telling the guards to go and finish my work. Since he claims to now work for Leonardo, I'll send him back to him but I never made a promise to make it without feeling pain.
Once I heard Anthonio's loud voice mixed with screams, I left with Camilla close to me.
“So now you believe me when I said that I've always sought to protect you. I knew your father wasn't working alone so I've been secretly digging deep since Chloe's death. I made a promise that I'll always protect you Camilla, and I meant it.”
Camilla just nodded, squeezing my hand with her small one.
This little devil doesn't know the effect she has on me. I'll do everything and even more for her. I'll burn the world to the ground to make sure she's safe and sound.
“So, your girl, huh?” She said with a sneer, changing the subject to cheer up the situation. Her eyes sparkled. “I wasn't aware that I'm now your girl again, Àlvaro Castillo.”
I looked down at her again, my gaze burning into hers before I smiled genuinely for what felt like the first time in a long while.
“From the moment you opened that door at the club, I knew you were something special.” I laughed, bringing back memories in my mind from our chaotic first encounter and how fucking cute she was as she ran.
“From that moment, I knew you were going to be mine, Camilla Torres.”
