Chapter 53 - Chapter Fifty Two: The Gun.

(So I'm retrying the third person's perspective again. I hope this one's better than the last.)

Damien opened his eyes groggily. He felt a sharp pain in his head and groaned. He was tied to a metal chair in the middle of a warehouse. He wasn't surprised. Diego had lured him to another location, knocked him out and brought him to his base.

' Chloroform would have sufficed. There was really no need for physical force.' He thought to himself.

" Welcome." A voice rang out.

He lifted his head to see his cousin grinning at him. Their resemblance was uncanny. Most people would have called them twins. Only the few people who were close to them could tell them apart. And he hoped Kimia could too.

' Kimia!'

" You have me now let her go!" He yelled.

" I will. But first, I'm gonna have a little fun."

" Don't you dare touch her you sick bastard!"

" Hush!" Diego silenced with a cheeky grin.

He didn't listen and continued shouting.

" If I were you, I'd listen. I still have her."

That shut him up quickly.

" Do whatever you want just please!, Don't hurt Mia." He pleaded.

" You're in love with her aren't you?" Diego asked smiling.

" I am. But she has nothing to do with all these. You wanted me and now you have me. Just please!…let her go."

" Ahhh." Diego sighed.

" Young love."

Damien rolled his eyes at him. Diego was only 3 years older than him yet he acted like he was a decade older.

" I bet you're wondering how I found out about this mission."

Damien was in fact wondering how Diego had found out but he didn't confirm his cousin's suspicion.

" You did everything right. I really have to applaud you for that. You were extremely careful. But you made just one mistake."

The door behind Diego opened and someone walked out. Someone Damien was certainly not expecting to see.

" Sasha." He breathed out.

" Hey Dami!" She greeted smiling.

' Kimia was right. About everything!'

" You trusted wrongly." Diego stated smirking at his cousin. Sasha was his cousin's ex fiancee. And as much as he hated Damien, he was really happy that he didn't get married to the banshee. Sasha was as a spoilt brat and annoying as hell.

' Kimia warned me about trusting her but I brushed her off claiming she was jealous!' Damien thought to himself.

" Why?" He asked.

" I was tired of playing the good guy. I knew all along that Fransisco was a drug dealer. Then he introduced me to you and your bitch-"

" Don't call her that!" Damien snapped.

" Whatever. I was still in love with you and I wanted you back. But she was standing in my way. So I tried to get her out but you were so infatuated with her. Then I tried to set you up at the party but you guys got away on time. Then, that night at the hotel I tried to seduce you but you were so loyal to her. So I thought, ' if I can't have you, nobody can.' So I contacted Diego and here we are!"

" Jesus do you ever stop talking?!" Diego exclaimed rubbing his temples.

" Where's the girl anyway?, Have you killed her yet?"

" Who said anything about killing her?" Diego retorted.

" But I assumed-"

" That what?, That I'm gonna kill her?"

" Yes."

" I'm not. She'll be free to go very soon."

" But-"

" Just stop talking. Your voice is hurting my ears." Diego stated and he turned to look at his cousin.

" Kimia is a tremendous step up from this she-witch. Take her away."

Sasha screamed as she was dragged away from the room.

" Fransisco bring Kimia in."

Fransisco left the room to bring Kimia.

Immediately she entered the room, her eyes caught his but she had to look away.

' Why did he come?!' She thought.

" She's astounding isn't she?" Diego asked running his fingers through her thick hair.

" A beautiful girl with a beautiful heart that you chose to break. You still haven't grown out of your bad habit of lying."

" Just let her go." Damien said quietly looking down. He couldn't even look at her after all the pain he had put her through.

" You have what you want. Let her go. You promised.

" I will. But first an offer."

" This wasn't part of our agreement!" Damien yelled wiggling in his chair.

" Kimia I would love for you to join me. We could rule this empire together. Nothing will stand in our way."

" How am I so sure you won't toss me away like a used rag. Like you did with Sasha?"

" I hate Sasha. She's a bitch." Diego said and she chuckled.

" But you, you are just what I need. Beautiful, Smart and Savage."

" Mia please don't-"

" Shut up! You don't get to call me that after what you've done." She barked but Damien didn't stop pleading.

" Excellent. Now it's time to prove you loyalty."

" How?"

Diego handed her a gun and she gulped. She knew how to use a gun but she never used one. At least one loaded with real bullets.

" What am I supposed to do with these?, Shoot myself?" She asked nervously.

" No. Him."

He pointed at Damien who was staring at her intently.

" Do it." Damien said.

" Don't hesitate just do it! I just want you to know that I'm sorry for lying. I was selfish. But I really am in love with you." Tears rolled down his cheeks as he spoke to her softly.

Her hand trembled as she lifted the gun and pointed it at his forehead.

" I'm sorry for everything that I've done to you. I hope you can find a place in your heart to forgive me." Damien continued looking at the floor.

She couldn't. She couldn't do it. She couldn't shoot him. She was in love with him.

" Shoot him Kimia. Get your revenge. Revenge for every lie he has ever told you." Diego said egging her on. He stood near Damien and forced his head up to look at her.

She looked at Damien once again and gulped. He stared at her with intensity, his eyes never leaving her facing.

Happy memories came flooding back. How he held her gently yet tightly. How he would kiss her softly yet passionately. How he would stare at her and call her beautiful even when she was at her worst.

It was like in that moment, her feelings for him intensified. He clouded her thoughts. She could smell his scent on her even though he hadn't touched her in a while. She could feel his soft lips on her neck. She feel his strong arms wrapped around her.

She could feel him. All of him

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and fired the gun.

Grey eyes stared back at her as blood seeped from the wound.

Hot tears fell from her eyes as the gun fell from her shaky hands.

' What have I done?'

" Hands in the air!"
