Zara

Zara's POV....

Death seemed less painful at the moment when I was pointing the gun at Usher..

This man right here does not even has a clue about anything that is happening.. He doesn't even knows, how I'm related to Luke..?. How Jason knows Luke?.. How his mom is here..?. Why Liam is all broken up.. ?

I could sense his perplexed state.

His eyes were questioning me the entire time. The poor man, didn't had any idea that he is being punished, in fact all of us are being punished because of her mother's hideous past..

I hated Chelsea at that moment.. Though I know that she is not someone to be blamed but it was her mad love for Jason that got us here..

If she wouldn't have run from Luke then nothing like this would have happened... And what did she got out from running... A violent husband, who not only exploited her but even abused her only son.

Usher was screaming barking at Luke and everyone the entire time, to reveal the truth to him but no one did..

I'm scared if he got to know, that he is the son of this filthy man, and his mother lied to him the entire time, then he'd be broken forever, he will die a slow death with this part of truth about his life..

Jason's presence in here would have confused usher to hell. And when he revealed that all along whenever he attacked me was all because Luke ordered him... Holy hell.. Damn it..

I was being played all along. Luke has already marked his target.. He actually did found me way back than I thought..

He played me... He was waiting for the exact time and moment to hit me when I'm at my weakest..

He really did played dark.. I can't even imagine, he stooped so low..

He knew that eventually, I'm gonna fall for Usher.. That too very hard. He was just waiting for that to happen.. His evilness doesn't surprise me.. He is way more dreadful than anyone can ever imagine..

Luke said he loved Chelsea.. To posses her he raped her.. That's what love to Luke is... Ownership..

This man can never love... Never... The one who killed his own mother.. Can never be a lover..

I don't know how and why he did killed his mother... But he did .that's all I know. I wasn't surprised at all to know about his mother he is that of a monster.. He can do that..

Now his targeting me is also not anymore shocking.. He is way vindictive, my escaping was a damage to his fake male ego and pride.he wouldn't leave me with just a simple revenge that's why he did this..

Usher from the day one showed his interest in me, making it way easier for Luke to play his dirty games..

Even I too was attracted but my fear never allowed me to put my guards down but when I did.. Look what it got me into.

I could have actually, stopped this madness... If I wouldn't have ran from the castle then this madness would have ended then and there only.

Why the hell my destiny played with me like this..

I should not have run, but I ran. I should not have fallen in love but I fell..

The whole thing was like a cosmic joke on me.

I ran from the castle to have good life and save my mom but instead of that it seems like I ran just to end up with more horrible and dreadful fate.. Life went full circle, I reached exactly to the point from where I started..

Luke was about to tell him all but I know, he'll die even before death hit him after knowing about the hideous past, after knowing that all the time he was just being punished, for an offense he never did. His only fault was that he was Chelsea's son..

I know how hateful Usher will become towards himself. He won't blame Chelsea or anyone but will blame himself..

I kept hiding my identity for so long only because of his hatred towards people of these kinds, Usher thinks that after Jason got into illegal activities then only he became this evil... That's why he hates people from that background and doesn't even likes to see their families even.. Because he thinks that the family members are to ruthless and selfish.. Earlier when Usher told me.. About Jason I too thought that may be this was the reason... But after the truth I know why Jason changed.. Why he became this evil..

I can't let Usher know about this... So.....

I begged Luke, he accepted it but then he asked me to kill usher or he'll kill mom and Greg.. And eventually then usher will know the truth..

He handed me the gun... And said.

" Come on Zara... Do it.. You know you have to.." He said putting on his best evil smirk..

While I stood there, sobbing pointing gun at not just Usher.. But my own self because if he dies.. I'll die with him too..

Usher was still looking at me with love... His eyes had lots of question but somehow as if he was silently communicating with me and telling me that he understands me...

He was shocked but still looked at me with love..

I could see Jonah's eyes were bulging out after looking at me pointing gun at usher..

" What the hell are you doing Zara..? " Jonah barked at me... First time ever I could feel hatred in his voice for me.

And I don't blame him even a bit.. Who would have thought that the girl, he was thinking to be the salvation for his friend is the one who'll be the reason for death of his friend.

One of Luke's man punched Jonah and shut him off..

" Don't delay Zara... Don't make the boy wait.. End his agony... Or else He'd be dying each and every day if I ... " Luke threatened me with his evil mockery..

I know what I have to do... But before that... I want to know something..

" Luke.... Why did you waited so long... To hurt me , when you could have easily hurt me the time you found me... Why...? " I asked him..

" Zara, you are not in a position to question me... But I'll answer you considering it as your last wish..

It would not have been this much fun... And after I got to know that this man is interested in you... And the shocking fact about his identity... That who he actually is.. I decided to hurt the woman who is responsible for this all.. " Luke said sternly and took a pause ..

Wait.. He didn't knew that usher was his son... Ohh hell... !

He continued again..

" You see, after knowing that who he actually is from Jason ..I didn't believed him for the first time but after knowing that the same woman played him and lied to him straight ..I decided to end all deceivers at one place, at the same time... To save the energy and time.. " Luke said mocking me.. And laughed at my pathetic situation..

Chelsea....did not even revealed the truth to Jason.. Making it more worst.. Luke was oblivious to the fact that he actually has a son.. He was so desperate to have a son... But my mother after his brutal assault became infertile.. And somehow Luke didn't went for another woman to give him a son..

And when he got to know the truth that Chelsea had her son, but never did told him, he felt betrayed

After knowing about Usher, he must have realized.. That it's impossible for him to make usher accept him..

So all he could do to drive his pleasure is to make us all suffer and enjoy our pain like a sadist he is..

" Now you have your answer... I'll suggest you to not to delay anymore young lady.. Or else you'd be seeing more than one dead bodies here... " Luke said threatening me..

Everyone else there was just a spectator.. Jonah shocked and now gagged cause he was protesting so one of Luke's man gagged him.. Liam was helplessly tied at one corner and so was Greg.. My mom knew that this is was the end... She looked all helpless and fragile.. Being tied up and hurt.. Jason stood at one corner.. Smirking at his final victory of destroying Usher.. And Chelsea.... The reason of this disaster was crying at one corner... I don't have any sympathy for her now... She made all of us suffer for something that we did not do..

And my man... My loving man was right in front of me tied... On his knees.. Looking at me perplexed but still with love..

" What the hell is he saying Zara... When he got to know who I was..... How do you know him... Zara.. And what do he mean by saying who I was... ?" Usher asked me confused and helpless..

" Who you are.... You are the man I love... You are the man.. I'm supposed to be spending my life loving... You are the man who owns my heart... You are the only man I have ever loved... That's who you are usher... My love... My heart... My soul.... But I can't help it usher... If I didn't do it... He'll kill them all... I'm helpless.. Love.... I never thought loving you could hurt me this bad. " I said sobbing..

Usher was looking at me with love and sympathy...

While the rest of us were just crying helplessly.. On the other side Jason,Luke and his men were laughing at our miseries..

" Zara,... I still can't understand what you are afraid of love... Why are you still hesitant and scared to tell me the truth... But if you still don't want to then don't... I'll never force you to do something that you don't want to... If loving me is hurting you and my death could ease your pain.. And could save them... Then don't think... Twice... Shoot me love... End this all madness... You should know by now Zara.. I'm all yours to do as you please... You have brought me back to life... Now you can kill me too.. I won't complain... Loving you was the only thing I know... You loving me back completed my life.. Now if you want... You can kill me love.... Remember Jonah told you.. That you are my salvation.. Then give me that salvation... End this all... .. Just know one thing... I love you more than anyone and anything.. " Usher said looking straight into my eyes. With all his love.

I could here his mother's crying. My mother's endless sobbing.. Jonah's helplessness.. Liam's weakness..

I know how to end this madness... I already did made up my mind when he gave me the gun the first time.. Back in Chicago ... Now I have to do this..

I took three shots straight.... And the world around me fell silent....
