Today They came to the Ashford Mansion with a special mission.
Augustus POV
I have a bad premonition. It's a good thing I have already prepared my will in advance. I don't want my children to suffer if I'm gone. Especially Lottie. She is too innocent for this world. For Her safety, she was home-schooled till now. She is exposed to media and attends every function and other programmes but her social skills are zero. She is high-spirited at home but shy outside. I know Her brothers will protect her. She is the treasure of this house.
Even though they are our enemies, whoever comes to our house as a guest they are served their best. It's my wife's motto.
"Welcome, Mr. And Mrs.Kingston, Mr. Edwin Kingston. Please take a seat." I faked a smile and said
"Thanks for welcoming us, Mr.Ashford." Mr. Edwin Kingston smirked.
They are up to no good.
"What would you like? Tea, Coffee or Juice?" Camila asked
"Tea for my mom and dad. No sugar espresso for me." Edwin Kingston Replied
Camila sent the servant to make the order.
"So what brings you here today Mr.Kingston? " I asked
"That's because..." Father Kingston began to talk but was interrupted by Edwin Kingston.
"I want your daughter. " Edwin Kingston Replied with a smirk on his face.
I knew it. But they touched the sensitive spot.
"I'm afraid I heard it wrong," I Replied controlling my anger.
"I want your daughter, Mr.Ashford ", Edwin Kingston replied.
"Know what You're talking about. My daughter isn't an object to give away. And I'm sorry I can't give my daughter to a monster." I shouted
"Believe it or not, Mr.Ashford, I know how to take what I want. Even in the cruellest way." Edwin Kingston Replied.
"As long as I'm alive You won't be near her," I replied.
Third person POV
"That's great Then I'll kill you and then take Charlotte with me." Edwin Kingston took out his gun.
Both father and mother Kingston ran away.
"Please leave my family alone." Camila cried
"I'm Sorry, Mrs Ashford. If you obey me, I'll consider Your pleas." Edwin Kingston Replied
"Not Possible" Augustus sneered.
"Then die. I Don't want any obstacles in my way." Edwin Kingston said.
He shot Augustus But Camila came In front of him and took the bullet.
"Camila... " Augustus screamed
"Don't die. Camila." Augustus caught her.
"I'm sorry love. Protect our Children. Tell them I love them. I love you." Camila took her last words
"No... " Augustus screamed and cried
"Now it's your turn. " Edwin Kingston Said
He shoots Augustus.
He then flicked his lighter and started fire.
This whole scene was watched by Charlotte.
