madness beyond measure

Christopher stares deeply at Serena, they are both terrified, no matter how much she is challenging him, no matter how much she is asking for his death, she is afraid, and it is inevitable that he does not notice. On the contrary, Amanda is so weak that she doesn't even try to beg for her life, I just realized that she is totally lost, that no matter how hard she fights, if he doesn't kill her, the confinement kills her.

“Christopher, what are you waiting for? Look, kill me” Serena kept challenging him, he didn't stop doing it, the atmosphere was becoming tense, and Christopher was even more anxious, he had never killed someone, but he was capable of doing it, he needed to do it, or else he would go to jail, he thought that by killing them he was going to free himself from a harsh sentence.

“Get up from there Serena” he continues pointing the gun at her, Cristopher begins to sweat and his handshakes.

“Are you shaking? You are fucking coward” Serena gives him a mocking laugh.

He feels how Serena's look intimidates him, and that makes him start to rave, her laughter has him totally blocked, and she realized what she was causing, she stands up and stands in front of him, arrogant and determined.

“Are you afraid of killing me? I want to tell you that if you don't kill me, I'll kill you, and keep in mind who it is that has the weapon.

When she tells him that, Christopher tightens his grip on the gun, shakes his head to coordinate again, and gives her a hard shove.

"Don't think you're lucky, girl, until today your way came," he tried to aim at her and shoot him, but his nerves played a trick on him, he couldn't!

“Come on! What are you waiting for, miserable?!” Serena provoked him even more, when he was about to shoot her, she rushed towards him quickly and they both began to struggle with the weapon before the surprised eyes of Amanda, who due to her weakness the only thing What she could do was seek refuge behind the old bed, she puts her hands on her head and takes refuge in herself, she was waiting for the moment when the gun went off and one of the two fell, and she prayed to heaven that she would go Christopher.

Both are struggling, fighting, but unfortunately for Serena, Christopher is stronger than her and is winning the battle, but she does not give up, however, in the middle of the struggle, a shot is heard.

Serena's eyes lock on Christopher's, both immediately stilling. But little by little blood begins to come out of Serena's mouth, in the middle of the struggle Cristopher had shot her in the stomach.

“Damn serene what did you do? “Christopher holds her in her arms, as she falls to the floor”.

“Is that what you wanted Christopher? Ending the life of a poor girl who was beginning to live her life until now” Amanda is still sheltering in her corner behind the bed, the few tears that remain roll down her cheeks when she sees the lurid image of Serena, she is in the floor, soaked in blood, seems not to breathe.

“She’s dead? Amanda, Serena is dead, damn it! Yes, she wanted to kill her, but not like this, stupid girl

“Ha! How cheeky you are Christopher, I can't believe you're lamenting, now what? Kill me? do it once and for all, I no longer want to continue living this hell”.

“No, dear, I'll continue with you later, for now I have to take care of this, get on the bed, I'm going to handcuff you again, I don't understand what you're doing, let go” he threatens her with his gun, even if he didn't threaten her, Amanda was already Resigned that she would end up the same as Serena, there was no point in putting up any kind of resistance anymore. He chains her again, she just sobs her tears, she doesn't even have the courage to cry.

“See Amanda, see! We would have simply made a proper divorce, and I would be far from this country, and you would be free, but since greed got the better of you to keep the money your father left you, well here we are” he spoke to her as he raised the corpse of Serena.

“It's not my fault that you're insane, I was just your wife, I have nothing to do with your decisions” Amanda’s voice was increasingly muffled

“What you say doesn't make sense and I don't care about Amanda, in a few hours you'll be in her place, for now I need to think about what I'll do with her body, I'll leave you with her for a few moments”.

“No, no, that's right, take her away, no, you know how scared I am of the dead, please get her out of here” Amanda felt a gloomy shiver run through her body, the mere idea of being alone with the corpse of Serena made her want to vomit, she had always been afraid of the dead, it was one of her biggest phobias, but of course Christopher didn't care about that.

“Oh please, Amanda! What can a dead man do to you, I'll be right back, and don't even think that because I'm talking to you, I'm going to let you live, it's just the habit” he leaves the room and closes it again.

Amanda swallows’ saliva, begins to tremble and panic, begins to have visions, sees as if Serena got up from the floor and approached her, she saw her like this, full of blood from her mouth, with a hole in her stomach because of the Shooting.

“No, don't leave me alone... you're dead... No” poor Amanda was delirious, she was dying while Serena's corpse was at her side and her soul was tormenting her, which she thought would happen if it were the opposite case.

Meanwhile Christopher, he is going through the materials to buy something that he can use to wrap Serena's corpse and clean the blood from the room, it was a stupid thing to think, but he thought it was a way to erase the traces, but suddenly his phone rings.

“Hello, Lucia, I'm in a work meeting, now I can't attend to you”.

“Work meeting? do you think me stupid?”

“Don't go to start woman, what happened?”

“I want you to come immediately, I need us to take the little girl to the hospital, it seems that she has a fever, and a doctor needs to see her.”

“Well, go alone, Lucia, aren't you self-sufficient?”

“Let’s see! explain to me why are you talking to me that way? “Christopher reacts, he was talking badly to Lucia, so take a breath, and breathe.

“Baby excuse me, I'm very stressed by some business, give me forty minutes and I'll be home.

“Okay, I'll wait for you” Cristopher, without any other option, leaves for Lucia's house, he doesn't return to the room to look at Serena's state, much less Amanda's, at that point in life he didn't care about anything else, He just wanted to leave the next day with Lucia and her children.
