Chapter 10
I made to reply but she shook her head immediately, her once curious expression moping into fear, and then fright. “Why do you know how to shoot and fight like that? Why do you own a gun? Why are you appearing calm like it’s a normal day in your life? Why does someone want you dead to this extent?” She finally paused to take in a much needed breath, her chest rising and falling with the hard, jerky breaths she was taking in.
I sighed. This was unnecessary trouble.
“Did those guys hurt you before they tied you to my seat? Sorry it slipped my mind earlier.”
“They didn’t. They only threatened to shoot me in my eyes if I fuck their stupid plan up by giving them away the moment you’d come clueless. I definitely wasn’t expecting you to come in alert and holding a gun, I didn’t even expect you to know how to shoot a gun for fuck’s sake! How do you know how to shoot guns? You’re a killer now? Jesus Christ, what have I gotten myself into? You kill innocent people? Was it the reason why so many people want you dead? Was that…”‘Aria continued to list countless absurd reasons as to why some stupid people wanted me dead but I cut her off when it felt like my head was about to explode.
“Shut the fuck up, Aria.”
“Please don’t kill me, sir.” She replied immediately with fear flooding the green of her eyes.
What?
“Kill you? The fuck? I don’t kill people, Aria. The fuck?”
“I’m so sorry, sir. You had a gun and shot those guys some minutes ago which automatically means you kill people, but if you say you don’t..,” I cut her off since she was still rambling off some annoying rubbish.
“Aria. Those people I shot some minutes ago were the bad guys. Would you have prepared if they shot me, and then you? When we didn’t even do a thing to them?”
“No, I won’t because I’m as innocent as a baby, I don’t know about you sir. But…” I cut her off again.
“Shut up, Aria. We’re both innocent.”
“Um, alright sir. Can I leave now?”
“Leave?” I echoed, confusion mixing with my voice.
“Yeah, like, I meant completely. I’d like to resign sir. I don’t wanna die please.” She explained as she moved around and paused to put her heels back on. Does she think this is a joke? Ah could be dead before she even gets home without even seeing it coming.
“You can’t leave, Aria.” I said around a laugh that definitely didn’t sound funny to my own ears.”
“I can’t?”
“Yes, you can’t. Or you’d wind up dead before the end of today.” I decided to cut straight to the heart this time, maybe she’d finally start to understand how serious this mess is.
“What?” She cried out hysterically.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Christ, could this mess get any messier? I asked myself as I pushed away from my spot on the wall and walked towards Aria who’s cheeks had lost almost all of their color in a few minutes.
“Aria…” I paused and hooked a finger under her chin and pushed it up and she was staring into my eyes before continuing. “This whole thing that happened is a really huge mess and whether you like it or not, you’re already involved in it. You can’t leave my side until I’m sure it’s safe as it was days ago. Any slight slip and any of us could wind up dead, do you now understand how serious this is?”
“So,” Aria paused and swallowed emptily, she blinked her lashes a few times and I watched as a trail of tears slid down her cheeks before she continued, her voice heavier than it was before, and a little scratchy. “I could die?”
Shit. There’s not even enough time for this to begin with.
“No one’s dying, at least under my watch, no one can get to you.”
“But…” She started to say but the loud sound of the Sirens of the police cars and an ambulance filled the whole building. I felt my heart beat race up in a second at the arrival of the police.
Fuck, I was supposed to still be in the scene of mr Ivan’s death like someone who really cares and not in my own office like a selfish bastard. And also because the police men might wanna question me since everyone present in the meeting would point out that I was beside mr Ivan when he died.
The dead bodies!
I removed my finger away from Aria’s chin and raced to the window. Tons of police vans filled the parking lot and outside the company. I pulled away from the closed window and bent down and stretched my arms until I had a grip on the dude who came in last from the window and pulled him with his hands until he was in a corner which couldn’t be sighted immediately someone enters the office unless the person make his/her way fully into the office.
“What are you doing?” Aria asked, like it wasn’t obvious enough.
I ignored her and moved on to the one who I shot in the ear, the bastard who shot at my arm. Grabbing him by his two legs, I pulled on him and groaned in pain as it felt like my left arm was about to fall off if socket in burning pain. I paused and took a deep breath before lifting up his legs again and pulling him as fast as I could until he fell on the first dead body. Kicking him in the stomach, I headed over to the third dead body and scrunched up my face on noticing how much more muscular this one appeared. I started dragging him with his two arms but stopped and dropped his arms like a sack of potatoes when it felt like my wounded arm was being pierced with a knife.
