Deadly Affairs

My eyes widened when reality dawned on me. He killed them… Jason was the one that killed my parents.

Anger took over me when I saw him leaving. I stood up from where I was and followed him. I don’t know why I did that, something just came over me and I decided to confront him.

I saw him walking into a really dark alley and still followed. I walked faster, trying to catch up with him but he was too fast. After I had walked for a while, I started to get really tired.

I stopped walking and decided to catch my breath. When I was finally able to breath well, I looked up but noticed that I couldn’t find him anymore.

“Where did he suddenly go to?” I wondered.

I chose not to give up so I continued searching for him. After walking for a long time, I realised that I was just moving around in circles so I decided to stop.

I was about to leave when I spotted someone at the darkest part of the alley. It seemed really dangerous but I still chose to enter. Immediately I got there, I felt someone’s arm grab my wrist.

I shrieked in shock and fear when my back was hut against the hard wall. I looked up only to see the person I was looking for. Though he was putting on a baseball cap and a face mask but I could tell that he was the one.

I can never forget the bastard’s cologne. He still hasn’t changed it. It has been what I breathe in for the last six years.

“Really nice to be able to see you again wifey?” He said with a grin playing on his face.

“Let go of me!!!” I said as I tried to struggle out of his hold but he held me still.

“Why? Don’t you miss me? Isn’t that why you followed me into this dark alley?” He asked as he used one of his fingers to caress my face.

“Don’t you fucking touch me!!” I said as I tried shaking my head so he would stop touching me but instead, he held my chin and turned my face to him.

“It seems like you didn’t miss me.” He muttered, pushing me closer to him.

“Too bad, cause I did. I do everyday. For the past six years, I have always been searching for you. I cried, hoped and waited for you to come back to me. Do you have and idea of how miserable I was? I wasn’t even able to hold you close to me like I always did. But now, I’ve found you and I’m not letting you go anytime soon.” He muttered as he moved to kiss but I turned my face away.

He groaned in frustration and pulled my chin harshly to face him and then he placed his lips on mine forcefully. I tried to push him off my but he held me in place. Then, he continued kissing me.

He was chewing on my lips like it was some food and tried force his tongue in my mouth nut I wouldn’t let him. So, be grabbed my boobs harshly making me release a painful groan. He took the chance and dipped his tongue into my mouth.

After several futile trials of making him stop, I did the only thing I could finally think of. I bit his lip really hard, to the extent that I was tasting his blood in my mouth.

He pushed me away from him immediately and landed a hot slap on my face, making me loose my balance and fall on the hard ground. My cheeks went numb momentarily.

“What the fuck! Are you crazy??” He asked as he held his bleeding lip painfully.

I stood up from where I was and spat put his disgusting blood from my mouth.

“Why did you do that?” I asked instead.

“Do what?” He asked back acting like he was oblivious to what I was saying.

“Why did you murder my parents you fucking bastard!!! What did they ever do to you??” I screamed out as I punched his chest really hard.

My knuckles hurt but I didn’t care. The pain I was feeling in me was greater than the physical pain I was having.

“Stop hitting me or else….” He wasn’t able to complete his sentence when I gave him the second punch on his face. Making his already bursted lip to bleed more.

“You fucking bitch!!” He said as he grabbed my hair and threw me on the floor. He didn’t stop there, he kicked me on my belly making me to spit out blood. He was about to hit me again when I said;

“Are you going to kill me too, just like you did to my parents?”

He stopped dead on his tracks immediately. His eyes widened in horror and fear when he saw me lying weakly on the ground. He crouched close to me and lifted me up.

“Tasha..” He called but I didn’t reply him. I just kept staring at him like he had gone crazy. Why is he acting like he’s bipolar? I never knew he was this crazy.

“I’m do sorry Tssha. I don’t know what came over me. You know that I cam never hurt you. I would never. You know how much I love you.” He said as he kept stroking my cheeks lovingly.

I laughed bitterly when I saw how he was acting. I pushed him off me and continued laughing when he stared at me in confusion. The laughter finally died down.

“You say you love me but you hurt me.” I muttered as I smiled like I heard something funny.

“I would never hurt you. I love you so m….”

“Spare me the love confession. How could you murder my parents in cold blood even though you say you love me?” I asked as the tears I had been shedding returned.

“How could you??” I asked again when I noticed how he remained silent.

“Because they were hiding you and my daughter from me.” He finally answered.

“What??”

“Do you know how many times I called and asked after you from them? They always lied that they have never seen you since you got married to me. They even moved out of their former home so I couldn’t track you. And now, they had the audacity to set you up when some bastard while I’m still married to you.” He explained.

“We aren’t married anymore. I left!!”

“But we didn’t get divorced officially. Even if we did, I wouldn’t stop trying to find you because you are mine till death do us apart.” He answered as he tried coming close to me but I moved back in fear.

“You are a crazy psycho. I’ll make sure you’ll rot in prison for what you did.” I threatened.

“You dare not.”

“Watch me.” I said and was about to leave when he dragged me back and held me against the wall.

“Let me go you bastard!!” I screamed angrily.

“Who’s going to believe you even though you report me? There’s no evidence pointing towards me. I made sure of that.” He said as he released a short snicker.

I whimpered softly when I realised he was right but I wasn’t going to give up. I’ll make sure he was going to spend the rest of his miserable life locked up away from others.

“We’ll see about that.” I answered with determination laced in my voice, making him release a devilish chuckle.

“You see Tasha, all these happening is your fault. Remember what I told you when you were leaving me that day? I told you that I was going to hunt you down and make you pay dearly for running away. This is just the beginning.” He whispered close to my ear making me whimper.

“Who else are you going to kill? Me? Molly??” I asked.

“Wnat? No. Why would I murder my beloved wife and child? There’s always someone else.” He muttered as he wiped my tears away from my face carefully.

Just then, I heard Ryan’s voice. He was calling out to me.

“Speaking of the devil.” Jason muttered. My eyes widened in fear when I understood what he meant. Ryan’s voice was getting louder which means that he was getting closer to us.

“What?? No. Please, I beg you. Don’t do anything to him.” I pleaded when I saw him pick out a pistol from his back pocket. I never noticed it there.

“Shushhh..” He hushed me as he rubbed the pistol on my face so I stopped talking immediately.

“Don’t worry. There’s no need to rush. It doesn’t have to be today. All I know is that soon enough, your little boy toy will be lying six feet underneath the ground next to your useless parents.” He said.

“You’ll pay for this. I’ll make sure you do.” I said, putting on a courageous act. I was still shaking inside.

“I doubt that.” He muttered with a small chuckle as he gave me a last kiss on my cheek before leaving.

“Natasha.” Ryan called when he finally saw me.

“Wnat are you doing here?” He asked worriedly.

Seeing him worried about me made the brave facade I had put on earlier disappear. My legs wobbled as I couldn’t stand properly anymore. Right as I was about to hit the ground, he caught me.

“Are you okay?” He asked but I just wrapped my hands around him and pulled him closer to me, embracing him tightly.

“It’s all my fault. My parents are dead because of me.” I muttered as tears kept rolling down my cheek.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“It isn’t your fault Natasha. All that happened today was just an accident so don’t blame yourself.” Ryan answered.

How I wish it was really an accident. If only I had warned them before, if only I had reported Jason when I first saw him. Their death is my fault. I caused it. I should have just listened to all the warnings but I didn’t.

I was just too scared. I kept running away and pushing away people around me. But not anymore. I won’t be scared anymore. I’ll make sure Jason pays dearly for what he did. I swear on the deaths of my parents that I would cause Jason more suffering than he did to me.
