The door clicks open, and the figure before me almost drained the remaining live left in me.
"Liam, I rush towards him, wrapping my arms around his neck, and I felt him hugging me with thesame energy.
" How did you get here, please you have to help me, I need to get to the kids, I tried rushing out but he pulls me back locking the door behind him.
"Liam we need to leave before Red Dragon comes back, he'll kill us.
My mind was in a puzzle, I prayed so hard to be wrong in what I was thinking.
" Are you the one who kidnapped me and killed Carden.
He was silent clearly meaning one thing.
" Liam,...
Why.. would you do that
I sob uncontrollably, his betrayal was the last thing I needed right now, this is the man I have lived with for almost 4 years, and known through out my childhood, he can't be red Dragon, I shake my head in Denial.
" You told me you wanted me to teach you how to love again, I just couldn't do that with Carden being in the picture, so I took him out.
" I love you so much Hazel, I promise to take you away from this city, where we can live happily.
I back away, as he looks at me furiously, I couldn't believe what was happening.
" You monster, you killed Carden, how dare you, I hit him in the chest as he stood like a rock.
" I'll never love a monster like you.
" Says the woman who loves a man who has killed more people than she can count.
" That bastard is a Mobster Hazel, he deals in illegal stuff and kills any one who gets in his way including my brother.
I didn't believe him, because I grew up with him and didn't get to hear or see any brother of his.
" He was sent abroad because he had complications during his birth, he stayed they with one of my aunts. His name was Denis, he was killed in a crossfire between Carden and some of his bunch of killers.
He fired bullets into his heart with a smile on his lips, my Aunt saw him killed Denise and he killed my Aunt without a care of how their families might react, I got to my Aunt before she died and she told me everything.
" I've watch Carden kill so many people, destroy so many families and getting away with it like it was nothing just because they're rich,
" That man is a monster, and I won't let you be with him, when I heard he got married to you because your family owed him,I was determined to kill him, but failed.
" You succeeded in killing him.
Tears hug my cheeks, I couldn't believe my ears, Carden couldn't be that Heartless.
" He survived as usual,
I didn't know if I was please to hear that or not, especially after everything I've just heard. He's too far from Redemption if he actually did all that.
" He's currently having the time of his life with Rebecca Trixy and our kids, he showed me a video of Carden, Rebecca and the kids in a mall, my heart was crushed, he is always so quick to move on.
" I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings Hazel, but Carden isn't good for you, he showed me videos of some of Cardens killings,
I saw him kill an entire family including kids.
" He wiped out an entire generation while smiling.
I couldn't believe he was actually the one, and to think he did that just few days ago.
" That was the family of one of my mens, his on his way here, and today marks the end of it all,
It's his world against mine,
"It's on you which side you want to choose, either the bad or the good,
He pecks me on the cheek before leaving the room, this time he left the door open, I was finally free, I couldn't move, I sat still lost in my thoughts until the sound of gun shots erupted in the air,
" He's here, I rushed out hoping to stop him but before me was the lifeless bodies of Liam's men,
" I saw Carden fire bullets at Liam's parents before finally pointing the gun to Him.
" She'll hate you for life if you pull that trigger.
Go on, do it you bastard,
" Carden no...
I rush towards Liam, as he laid on the ground,
" Get away from him, I yell at Carden, as he lowers his gun staring at me in disbelief
" Hazel, he whispers pulling me into his embrace, this wasn't how I pictured this moment, but my emotions are scattered, I don't even know how to feel or react.
" Take him away,
He orders as his men pulled him into a van immediately.
" Do the right thing Hazel, he said before losing consciousness, I don't want to think about anything except my kids, I acted as if all the death bodies before me were invisible including that of the woman I've once considered a second mother to me when I was growing up, the Watsons were gone, he killed them without a care in the world.
" Let's go home,
The last word felt like a joke, I have no home with this man before me because I don't even know who this man is.
Carden had noticed how distant I was and dare not say a word.
The drive home was quite, I could see the guilt in Cardens eyes, but all I wanted now were my kids.
We zoom into the mansion, Rebecca was standing outside scolding Densel,
" Get away from my child, I pully her by the hair and yanks her away,
" Momma, he Rushes towards me crying, when the girls noticed me they rush out of their hiding places.
I have never seen my kids cry this much.
