Chapter 43 – Our helpless little girl.

Jack’s POV

“Why?” I ask him coldly.

There has to be some reason. What made him go against his own brothers?

Our body stiff, ready to pull out our guns any moment.

“All this could have been avoided Jack” Said Elijah sighing through his nose.

I felt the movement behind me, I immediately pulled out the gun and shot behind me.

A guard fell down with thud. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Kevin doing the same.

A group of four guard, almost twice my size, attack me at the same moment, pinning me down.

One held my right arm down, the other held my left, the same with my legs.

And one holds a gun on my head.

Kevin was in same state.

“I asked you to kill Sam, you didn’t” He said pointing his index finger at me like a maniac.

He started walking inside, towards the lounge area.

Guard picked me up, one held my hands behind my back, other still holding a gun on my head.

The others surrounding me, ready to take me down any Instance I make a move.

I am not dumb to make a move now. I want to listen Elijah’s reasoning before making my move.

I gesture Kevin to follow my lead.

I felt the gun being removed from my waist band. I let them. I still have hidden gun.

We were brought to the lounge area, where Elijah walked just few moments ago Four seats were arranged in criss cross manner. Two facing each other, on each side of the table.

The guard pushed me on the chair opposite to Elijah.

Kevin being pushing on my right.

The guard still pointing the gun at me.

Elijah got up, the sinister look on his face didn’t go unnoticed.

He opened a cabinet door on the right most corner wall. A girl crawl out, she had a golden collar with spikes on her neck, she hands the leash to Elijah. Her face hidden as she was facing down, and the remaining covered by her hair, hiding her face like curtain.

As she crawls out I saw her tattered clothes covered in the blood.

She slowly made it out of the small cabinet.

Elijah harshly pulled her leash causing her to jerk up.

My eyes widen when I saw her face.

My breath stuck in my throat.

My eyes widen.

I feel the pang of sharp pain in my chest when I saw her face.

Her face red, probably due to embarrassment. Her left cheek swollen with blue bruises.

Her eyes help pain and fear.

Her terrified eyes looked at Elijah.

Her body shook with fear, her hands shaking uncontrollably.

Her body barely covered in clothes shows the whip marks and blue- black bruises.

Blood still dripping out from her untreated wounds.

Elijah placed a soft chaste kiss on her cheek before pushing her towards us.

She fell on the ground bruising her elbows in process.

She didn’t dare make a noise, may be because of the fear.

Hell! She didn’t even look up let alone getting up.

“I did everything right” spat Elijah.

My eyes still on the girl.

“But you had to ruin everything,” he said, looking at Kevin.

What did Kevin ruin?

I divert my attention from the girl to Kevin. He looked at Elijah angrily, he was shaking in his seat.

Elijah bends down to her level, grabbed her hair harshly and made her look at Kevin.

“Amy,” he whisper softly.

It took her few moments to register what’s going on.

But as soon as it struck her, she let out a pleading sob.

Her eyes divert towards me, she mouthed me ‘please’

Just please?

Kevin and Amy were closer than I was ever with her.

Even after Richard died, Kevin and Angel took care of her.

I loved her but I was never too close to her.

She is still our sister, just as Sam is our brother.

“Let her go this instance” Shout Kevin struggling against the hold of the guards.

We can’t win like this.

My brain was wired to function most efficiently in such situations.

“I didn’t know you like her?” I ask Elijah.

Elijah took her seat opposite to me, while pulled Amy’s leash and made her stand beside his chair.

“From a very long time.” He said chuckling. “Remember our first meeting?” He ask Amy.

Tears run down her eyes, but she kept her face straight and whisper a timid yes.

He trained her.

She was with him the whole time.

Is this why he asked me to keep her room on his floor?

I remember when we first brought Amy in mansion. Is this why she looked at Elijah before she spoke?

How long is this been going on?

“You killed Richard” Yell Kevin.

“Bingo” Clapped Elijah.

“Why?” I ask.

He smirked, “You see, I never liked him. Yes, he trained us, taught us everything but he was not the who deserve this position” He said gesturing the mansion.

“We helped him grow. We did all the dirty work. And I did most of the work. From making plan to executing it properly” He continued Kevin injects in, “You made plan, we executed it. We always did the fighting”

Venom evident in his voice.

“Calm down little pawn. Yes pawn, you are nothing more than a pawn.” Spat Elijah. “He took everything” He said pointing towards me”

“I killed Richard so that I can be the next King” He spat getting up “I did all the planning. I stayed up whole nights for months. I killed him” He growl like an animal.

“Yet” He spat tugging at the leash so that Amy stood just beside him, “yet, he saw it coming. He made you the King even before I killed him,” he said “He knew I can easily kill Sam and have everything, but I can’t kill you,” he said pointing at me.

“I killed him and made it look like a suicide. I made the transactions beforehand, so it looks like he was cheating on you. But you little Amy here,” he said grabbing Amy’s throat.

“She saw it. She saw my man walking out of her lovely daddy’s office. You remember little one?” He asks her.

She nods in fear. Her face red.

“Can you remind me babe, what were we doing while you daddy’s lifeless body hung in his office?” He asks her.

She started struggling to breath, clawing his hand away.

“Speak” He yell.

“F-f-.. U…. K” She managed and with that he released her.

“That’s right baby, I fucked you” He said with sinister smile.

“None of you can win” He yell

“I am the real King” He continue.

I can’t believe this.

She tried to tell me so many times.

I remember her pleading eyes looking at me for help.

I remember how helpless she looked whenever we had dinner together.

I thought she was afraid of us.

This is the peak. I don’t care what happens next. I will kill this bastard.

And I will give him the most painful death.

I was breathing heavily.

I have to make my move carefully.

Not only my life is on the line, it’s Kevin, Amy, Sam and most importantly Zoe’s.

I looked around, making eye contact with my men.

They looked at me shamefully.

Elijah threw Amy on the table. And started unbuckling his belt Oh god!

Not in front of all these men.

No.

I know his intentions. I won’t let him rape her in front of all these men.

“Where is Sam?” I ask.

“I asked you to kill him” He grumble angrily.

He wraps the edge of belt on his hand, lift it up and hit Amy on her back.

She let out a lout cry. She didn’t even attempt to get up or run.

She just stayed there and took it.

I look around again.

I need men on my side before I take this psychotic asshole down My eyes met my head of security. He looked me in the eye.

I gesture towards my hand. When he looked at my hand, I show him two fingers, indicating that I will pay him double.

He hesitantly looked around and decline the offer.

I offer him thrice. He gestures me that his child was kept hostage.

I inhaled hard and glared him He swallowed and nod his head.

The painfully cried of Amy still filled the room.

I did the same with Kevin’s head guard. Kevin’s guard was easy and agreed when I offer him double payment.

I looked at Kevin and smirk. Kevin gave me a questionable look.

The action started with the snap of my finger.

The first shot aimed on the guy who was holding gun on my head, followed by the series of gun shots.

Elijah petrified at the sudden sound of gun shots followed by the sound of falling bodies.

He always made the plan. Making plan is easy than going in enemy’s territory and fighting.

The only thing he lacked was the art of taking impulsive decisions.

“Youuuuu” Elijah yell half in anger and half in fear.

“Correct me if I am wrong, you are still afraid of me, aren’t you?” I ask pulling my gun out.

Impulsively Elijah pulled his gun out and point it on Amy.

“I still have Amy,” he yells.

One of the Elijah’s men shoot him on his shoulder, “please don’t kill me I am also on your side King” The guy spoke kneeling down I smirk.

“He is not the King, I am” Yells Elijah holding his shoulder. His gun lay on the ground.

Kevin immediately kicked the gun away from Elijah’s reach.

The sound of heavy breathing and painfully cries filled the room.

The cries of our little Amy.

All of the Elijah’s men either on the ground, or kneeling, showing their submission.

Kevin started punching Elijah.

I removed my shirt and slipped it on Amy.

At first, she jerked away fearfully but when she saw my face, she let me slip the shirt on her.

“How dare you touch Amy?” Asked Kevin punching Elijah on the face.

A cracking sound clearly indicating the Breakage of bone.

“She is my little sister” Yelled Kevin followed by another punch.

“How dare you kill Richard?” Kevin yelled followed by punch.

“He fed us when our stomachs were empty, and we had no money in our pockets” He yell punching him.

“How dare you torture his daughter?” Followed by another punch.

I saw a guard bringing Angel in the room.

She stopped in her steps as soon as she saw Kevin beating Elijah.

I have not even started. How dare he touch my Zoe.

And we still don’t know where she is.

Angel ran to Amy as soon as she saw her. Swiftly taking in her arms.

I didn’t even notice when Amy held my arm.

“Stop” I order.

Kevin didn’t stop.

“STOP” I order again with authority.

Kevin stops and gave me questionable look.

Elijah started laughing.

“What’s so funny?” Asks Kevin punching him again and getting up with his bloody fist.

Elijah spat the blood out, “I still won” He said wiping his bloody nose with the back of his hand.

“How so?” I ask clenching my fist.

With a swift moment Elijah pulled a nearby gun and shot at Kevin.

But the anger plays important role while shooting.

The bullet hit Kevin’s thigh.

I lounged at Elijah. Straddling him I started hitting him.

“Bring me my tools” I order all while punching his face.

I am careful with my punches.

I want it to last long.

Soon the tools were placed on the table.

And Elijah tied to another table.

“What did he do to you?” I asked Amy.

“I know where Sam is” She said instead of answering my question
