I heard his father say and I turned to him again.
“You don’t know him; he is not some tool you use on your own accord.”
I yell at him, and he sneers at me.
“Finish this now Adonis.”
I look up at him.
“It’s ok”
I whisper tears begin to form in his eyes. I’ve never seen him cry, and yet he looked so beautiful with tears streaming down his face. One of his father’s men handed him a gun.
“Do it.”
I whisper. He cocks his head to the side as if wanting to fight this. I sit up on my knees and bring myself closer to him.
“It’s ok, it’ll be ok.”
I keep telling him and I see the doubt in his eyes. I see his lips begin to quiver.
“I love you.”
I tell him before the sound of a bang goes off, and my world is filled with darkness again.
Adonis
I heard the gun go off and saw my father collapse, Noah took the shot at the right time. I see Lillian fall to the ground. I kneel in time and catch her, so her head doesn’t hit the ground. I see my father’s men begin to panic; Liam comes down from the rafters where he and Noah were and runs to me.
“I got her.”
He tells me and I nod. I leave my Lillypad with him and walk to my father's body. The men stop and watch me.
“I am not weak father. I just have something worth protecting now.”
I say to him as I watch him choke on his blood.
“You will never be good enough. She will never love you, how could she? Now that she knows I had her father kill her own mother.”
He says to me gasping for air with every word he says. I place a foot on his chest and stomp on him again and again.
“This is for me, my mother and everything you’ve put me through.”
I say with each kick becoming more and more powerful. I feel a hand on my shoulder and look over.
“That’s enough Adonis.”
Noah tells me and I run my fingers through my hair. I look at the men.
“My father is dead. Which makes this organization mine now.”
I say to them, and they look at each other. I look at the same men who were cowards away while my father took my mother's life. Just like they cowered away now watching me take my father's life. I run my hand through my hair again and walk to where Liam has Lillian.
“I can get her from here, bring a car around.”
I yell to the men, and they nod. I need to get her somewhere safe; I need to get her help.
I get Lillian into the back seat and slide in next to her making sure she is safe, I take a knife from my pocket and cut her binds off. I look at the marking on her beautiful skin and I feel a pain in my chest.
