"What?"
The young woman's brows instantly wrinkled at the words of the man. She chose her fate? 'Don't tell me I am going to die here' Realization began to kick Veda really hard so that she almost felt like crying at the right spot. No, she could not die. She had to consider. Think.
There had to be a way to escape from this shitty place. Right. She could do this much at least. It's not that hard. Veda believed in herself fully to encourage her own spirit which was commencing to give up. She lifted her chin up and stared into the eyes of the man fearlessly.
However, before the young woman could think of the ways to get away, the strong fist swayed right on her cheek. Causing Veda to grit her teeth in agony. "Fuck.." she cursed under her breath. The punch was strong to make her lips tremble slightly. "Tell me the reason why"
A harsh tone echoed the basement again. The dark forest green eyes pierced through Veda's soul. Fury wandering around his aura clearly. "I have no fucking clue what you are talking about, motherfucker. Let me go already!" Frustration hissed back. Veda's courage stood up.
Not revealing the fright which was shaking inside her silently. "You know well what I am saying, Veda Amos. You murdered my woman. You killed the one who I cherish with my whole heart. You ruined everything. And you know it. So confess why you did that shit"
The man ordered.
His words filled the guilt inside the young woman. Causing her to gulp in silence with a tightened frown. She did not even care the fact that the man knew her name. It was not that shocking at all. He must have looked into her background as a crime lord like the woman said.
Veda quieted down all of sudden. Her grey colored hazel eyes landed on the ground below her feet. Sorrow started to enter. Her appearance did not look like a model at the moment. It appeared like a loser who gave up. She ruined everything? What had she done?
Did she really destroy someone's joy? Did she split up the couple? Questions commenced to drag the young woman into pool of guilt. If only she knew the man was manipulating her to admit what she had done. If only she knew what the manipulation was. If only.
"I am sorry.." Apology came up from Veda at last. She lowered her gaze to avoid the eye contact. The three words from her were enough to anger the man in view of the fact that she confessed indirectly. "You! How dare you?!" Irritation swallowed the man in the end.
Causing his hand to move on its own. He wrapped his hands around the young woman's neck. Tightening the grip in fury, only to make Veda gasped. Fuck. She for real fucked up just because her kind ass side decided to help someone who in fact she should not.
"Die. You deserve to die"
The man declared. Not loosening his grasp even a bit. All he knew was the frustration pushing him to murder this young woman in front of him. "No... stop.." Through short gasp, Veda begged. Knowing damned well she was going to lose life. "HOW DARE YOU?!"
This time, the man's calm yet irritated tone raised up. Disclosing the heartbreak and hatred he was going through. "Stop.." Tears commenced to form in the young woman's grey hazel eyes. Feeling the agony which was hard to endure. It was the moment.
It was when the man's grip suddenly loosed. He took his hands back. Letting Veda gasped loudly finally. "Where is the gun?!" However, the next query which escaped between the man's lips terrified the young woman wholly. Making her eyes widened in disbelief. Fuck! Gun?!
"No! I didn't do anything! She was the one who pulled me to get away from the car! She was the one who hit her own head with platform! I didn't even do anything! There is no such a fault I did in that incident! Stop blaming on me like a fucking murderess! I am not in wrong!"
In the end, out of fright, Veda yelled out loud the truth. Ceasing the steps of man who was about to grab the gun from the table. He paused at the place like a statue. "Pfft-" But a mocking laughter echoed as the man turned around. His dark forest green eyes glinted.
Showing exasperation.
He peered right into the eyes of the young woman. "Not your fault you say?" He asked back. Tilting his head slowly in the dark. "Yes. I did nothing wrong" Veda assured. Hoping for the man to trust and let her go. However, of course, she knew well it was unfeasible to convince him.
He would never believe her for sure. "You fucking bitch! Only fool will trust your fucking obvious lie!" A shout echoed as response. Startling the young woman a bit. She was not surprised at his reaction though. She already expected him to scream out loud in frustration.
"Die" Another word escaped from his lips. Catching Veda's attention fully. Fuck. She just made the situation worse. As the young woman attempted to persuade the man, his hand lifted the gun to shoot right in the middle of Veda's head without hesitating.
But before he could even pull the trigger, a loud noise echoed. The noise was the sound of bomb breaking outside which shook the whole building even; managing to startle Veda who did not anticipate it at all. She thought she was about to die a second ago.
Turned out the world required her to live through shitty situations still instead of letting her die. "Fuck it..." Veda mumbled with a tightened frown. If the universe was testing her, she had to survive for sure. She had to lift her chin up and show her middle finger with an attitude.
Instead of being ready to give up.
"Please.. " A murmur escaped under the young woman's breath. Quietly wishing this was the opportunity given by universe for her to escape from this hell alike place. "Go check what's happening" The man ordered when shouts and gun shooting sounds commenced to echo.
It seemed like a fight broke out at the outside. "Yes, Boss" The man who was standing behind, dashed out of basement in hurry as the command. Causing the young woman to clench her jaw in disappointment and shock. Why the fuck was this man doing here still?
He should be panicking over the incident and even should run out to check. Not standing here calmly! The atmosphere in the basement started to turn into awkward one since the man was staring at Veda silently like a statue. "Quit looking at me, you filthy motherfucker"
When she could not handle it anymore, the young woman hissed. Causing the man to smile in amusement wickedly. "Do you even know who I am?" He questioned. Perplexing Veda somehow. "Fuck your identity. I don't give a fuck about you at all" She provoked.
Making the man stepped near to her with quick steps. He was upset obviously. The way he aimed the gun right at the forhead of young woman spoke out loud how much he was irritated. His eyes blazed. Burning through the soul of the young woman simply by gaze.
"You.."
He whispered.
"You better shut your fucking mouth before I rip them out, Veda Amos. No one can talk back like that to me. You should be begging for mercy instead of faking this courage. I know you killed her purposely" Exasperation reflected upon the eyes of the man.
His harsh tone always managed to send shivers down to Veda's spine. "I already fucking told you I did nothing wrong and yet you fucking assume I murdered her? Listen, you piece of shit, your so called lover was the one who asked for help from me to run away from you"
At last, the young woman pointed out loud. Hitting the right spot successfully. It increased the anger more. Causing the man to slap Veda's cheek with the gun. It felt like hell. It hurt so bad. "You don't know what's occurring even. Don't butt in when you have no clue"
He taunted. Cupping the cheeks of the young woman with one hand as his another hand pointed the gun at her forehead once again. It made Veda grit her teeth. Restraining the urge to spit in the face of the man. "She said you are a crime lord before she got into accident you know"
Veda disclosed. Hushing down the man entirely. "She looked so delighted when she managed to get away from those men. You probably kidnapped her from somewhere. You forced her to be your lover. She doesn't even love you. She was trying to escape till the end"
Unceasingly, Veda pointed out. Slowly crossing the limit without realizing herself. "STOP!" At last, the man yelled. Ready to pull the trigger in exasperation. "Boss! Someone has destroyed the part of clan! You need to check right now!" However, the universe truly helped Veda out.
"You are dead when I come back"
Through gritted teeth, he threatened.
