I'LL KILL HIM!

MIKE

I wish I had asked Olivia why there was pain and why did the entire world laugh when I cried? Why were they glad when my heart was torn with pain? I felt as if my soul was being lost like the wave of the sea, returning each time to hug the shore, only its strength diminished with every inch it came closer to shore, until it evaporated forever.

All my thoughts and dreams drifted from the magical night with Emily to the deep pain I felt like a sharp knife plunged deep into my heart. Her loss was to me like a raging sea meant to exhaust everything in its path.

It bore me with the images that kept ongoing but offered nothing concrete. I kept seeing Carla talking on the phone. She’d stay on for a while and then call someone again. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, wondering what she’d do if the drug wore off. Panic took her over. She was pacing up and down my patio.

At one point, I wanted to turn off the video, but Olivia read my mind and grabbed my hand, stopping me.

    EMILY“Going where? Do you have somewhere to go?” asked Clark.“I don’t know where to go. I’ll find a place where I can get away from him,” I replied.“Honey, you won’t be able to run away for the rest of your life. There must be something or someone who can help you get away from him.”“Do you think there is a guardian angel for me?” I asked, trying to joke with her. It was actually a rhetorical joke. With one eye, I was laughing and the other crying.“Yes! There is someone,” she affirmed.“Gaby, don’t do that!” came a determined woman’s voice.In that second, I felt cold shivers take over my body. It was my mother! The last person I wanted to see. She had ruined my life and I couldn’t forget that. But she was still my mother and I couldn’t hate her, but I didn’t want her around me anymore.I got up, wishing I could leave and leave her with them. I knew they had a very close relationship, and I didn’t want to change that. Except my sister grabbed me firmly by the hand and pulled me t

    EMILY “You realize I’ve never had peace of mind knowing you with him, but he’s always threatened to lock us both up. I preferred to keep quiet until now but to know you well, only now I don’t know how it was better...”“Mom, you could have told me everything. You know there’s someone who can help us,” Gaby said angrily. “Trying to solve the problem yourself was the worst decision.”“I don’t need some poor bastard who’s never taken an interest in you.” Mom was downright irritated, and I was confused. What were they talking about? “I have nothing to discuss with such a man.”I could feel Gaby growing irritated. She’d never been so angry. Honestly, come to think of it, I don’t think I’d ever seen them argue.“What are you two talking about over there? I understand nothing anymore” My question had no impact on them. It was as if I was invisible and they couldn’t see me, couldn’t hear me, because they continued to argue without including me in their discussion.“You were being selfish. Yo

    Emily “Gaby enough! I said no!” my mother shouted once. She screamed so loudly that little Eduard cried. “No one will look for that.....” he stopped.The little innocent angel’s tears brought me back to life. I picked him up and carried him to his father, who stood like a statue, unable to believe that his wife had the strength to face his mother. I felt innocent but also incapable of ending this war.“That’s it!” I said to the two of them. Only they weren’t willing to listen. They acted like I was just a doll they didn’t know where to put.I motioned for Clark to take the boy away. He’d witnessed enough of the rough stuff for his age. He was terrified by the screaming, which didn’t do him any good. Besides, I wanted to do Clark some good. I wanted to be alone with my mom and my sister.“That’s enough!” I yelled after everyone else in the room retreated. “I’m not an object. Look at me, I’m an adult and I can make my own decisions. Enough of your bickering. It’s pointless what you’re

She even gave me she was resigned and happy for me.I was going to gouge her as hard as I could. Curiosity clouded my mind. Good luck to Olivia, who made a gesture of authority and asked for my car key.“You think I want to put my life in danger? Be calm, we’ll get there on time,” she said and made me sit in the right seat.I nervously got into the car. I slammed the door as hard as I could.“Could you be calm?” I asked her nervously as she climbed in beside me. “She’s the reason I lost Emily.”“If you don’t calm down, just know that I’m going to pull into a parking lot and stay there until you calm down. If you’re angry, you could ruin everything. Do you understand?” she said harshly. “Be careful! No one must know about the shooting. Just you and me. Clear?”The way Olivia was acting just pissed

    Mike “Just calm down!” I heard Olivia’s angry voice. “Stop it! Get down from there” she yelled at me as she pulled me back.“You bitch! How could you?” I shouted at Carla after I came down after Kevin.“How could I do what? There’s nothing between us, so I can do what I want,” she replied nonchalantly.A box, which was definitely containing a necklace, jumped out at me on the nightstand next to me. I took it in my hand and opened it. It was a valuable necklace of genuine pearls.“You sold yourself for this? I can’t believe it. I trusted you too!” said I to him in disgust.“You traded me for another, so it’s my right to do what I want, isn’t it?” she asked me, smiling mockingly.She kissed Kevin, then got off the bed. She was completely naked. Although she had a sculpted body, she was nothing like Emily. Her body looked like that of a goddess. The texture of her skin was comparable to the smoothness of the most delicate rose petals. Her intoxicating scent....“Do you dream of what you

All my thoughts fled to him, like a homing pigeon sent with special messages.“Emily, think again. You don’t know that man...”“Mom, you want to calm down? What do you know,” said Gaby.Was it possible for that dove or maybe a small bird to carry me away from that place, from them, from their endless quarrel? And on my way a warm summer rain fell and washed away the bitter tears that bathed my cheeks. To fill the void that was found in my soul and drown the fears that darkened my thinking? Or better yet, have that much power and drive away the storm within me and bring the sunshine back into my life. To bring Mike back.I sat on the sofa and covered my ears. As I shut my eyes, the image of Mike appeared before me, standing right in front of me. I was so glad that I could say goodbye to him. I could tell him:“Why Mike? Why y

    Emily“What can I do for you, Clark? What’s the emergency? By the way, I'm curious to know what you did. Is there a dangerous guy at your gate? I hope you didn’t get your nose into any dirty business?” the man asked.“Have you gone mad? God forbid! My sister-in-law is in trouble. She married Kevin Parker. We didn’t know he was a dangerous interloper. He’s been blackmailing my mother-in-law and getting under my sister-in-law’s skin. Now he’s pulling teeth,” Clark explained.“You know I can help you with anything, but there’s nothing I can do here. He’s got everything he wants at his feet. I’m powerless. It’s extremely dangerous to go against him,” Frank said.“I know that. I just want you to help us so we can send her to America without a trace. So he can’t trace her,” said Gaby.“That will be easy, but you know it will only be a matter of time before he finds her,” Frank continued.“Over there, her father is a very skilled secret agent. Maybe somehow he’ll help her,” Clark replied.“O

    Kevin“Does it hurt? Are you hurt enough?” Carla asked me in a lost voice. Her eyes were rigid and teary, rolling wildly as if looking for a way out of the chaos.Until that moment, she had seemed so self-possessed and strong, but then she was so awkward and shy. It was a clumsiness unlike Emily’s that bored me. That amused me and I liked it. There was something about her that drew me in and made me step out of my comfort zone, which never happened again.I had stepped into territory that I always thought was dangerous, but I found that I really enjoyed it. There was something about this woman that I had never encountered before.“You could have killed yourself, seriously! I had a feeling this was going to end badly. I’ll tell you honestly, it scared the shit out of me. You’ve got bumps all over your body,” she said, her voice trailing off.With her right hand, she caressed the bumps on my naked body. I was usually in control, in any situation, only this time, everything was different

A novel to write about my life story.It was unbelievable. Susan ruined my life, and she saved it. I was home because of her. Why had she sacrificed her life for us?“Why did you do that?” I finally asked her.“What did I do?” she asked me defiantly.“Why did you save me? You know you won’t have a quiet life with Kevin now.”“I won’t have a quiet life, anyway. My parents don’t want to see me and he’s with Carla. He’s sick of me. Besides, Carla’s willing to sacrifice even more than I have. She broke into the house of Kevin’s worst enemy just to get information for him,” she told me. “I also have pictures of her, Luke and other rivals of Kevin’s in various compromising situations and poses.

    MIKEI rushed over and pulled Eddy’s body off Emily. She was terrified! The crying and panic was preventing her from breathing normally. Her heart was pounding like crazy. She grabbed her torn dress and clutched it to her chest. She didn’t realize it was me next to her and not someone else. What had that bastard done to her?I tried to pick her up, but she pulled away. She was still in shock. She couldn’t realize I was there.“Baby, it’s me, Mike. You’re safe now.”She looked at me with wide eyes. When she realized I was indeed beside her, she released the wellspring of tears and threw herself into my arms.“We have to hurry. If Kevin comes back, it won’t be good for us,” Susan said from the doorway of the room.I picked Emily up and followed Susan. She knew how to sneak out of sight of Kevin’s bodyguards. The house was empty, so we went through quickly. We went down to the garage and got into a roomy station wagon. Susan was in front of the wheel and Emily and I climbed into the trun

I ran for the door, wanting to leave the room, but Kevin grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Eddy quickly came up beside him and put a hand on his shoulder. He glared at him, then turned back to me.“Stay here until I finish everything I have to say. Don’t you ever dare let me speak alone again. Besides, you’re not going anywhere. Here you’ll rot. This will be your grave,” he screamed.“I...” I was more afraid than ever, but not for myself but for what he was about to say.“I always thought you were his daughter. I took a DNA test to confirm it and that’s when I relieved myself.”“Then what do you want from me? I’m not the fruit of sin. I’m not your sister.”“You are not the fruit of sin, but you are the fruit of my childhood torment. I swore I would make you mine and give you the life I lived be

    EMILY“You lied to me?” I screamed.“How else would I get my hands on you?” he asked me mockingly.“Kevin, you don’t get to play with people’s lives the way you want. Why don’t you mind your own life and let us live ours? I promise I’ll talk Olivia into destroying your file,” I tried to convince him, hoping I could talk him down.“And you want me to believe you?” He asked harshly.“I’m not like you! I don’t lie!” I replied curtly.“Emily, you’re mine and you’re mine forever, whether you like it,” he continued in a calm tone.“You can do whatever you want with me, but leave them alone. Don’t touch them, they don’t answer to me,” I replied just as dryly.“Wow! Little princess claws out! My dear, you are in no position to negotiate or threaten. I remind you that you are in my territory. One command and you’re dead,” he replied sadistically.“Kevin, I’m not scared of you and you know it,” I said fiercely.“You really don’t know how to lie. You’re more afraid than you’ve ever felt. I can r

    EMILYI was afraid, more afraid than ever. Kevin was so unpredictable. He proved to be more dangerous than anyone else. He came back from the dead and was ready to destroy us all. I didn’t know what would happen to me there.In the end, it didn’t matter what happened to me. All I cared about was the safety of the people I loved. He promised Mike’s release if I stood by him. I wanted peace for everyone. My life was meaningless without Mike.The closer I got to the meeting place, the harder my heart pounded. I could feel it not in my chest where it belonged, but it was rising into my throat in a big, painful lump that was sapping my strength.In front of Menfail Park, a black car with tinted windows waited for me, just as the message had said. I looked around before opening the back door and seeing that there were no familiar eyes, I quickly got in.To my surprise, there was only a driver in the car who didn’t even say hello. As soon as I got in, I got another text message:“This phone

    MIKECouldn’t believe that this bastard has so many lives, like a damn cat. I hated him. I even came to hate him more than anything else in the world. What had I done wrong to want him to see me destroyed?He kidnapped my wife and my unborn child, even though I left and withdrew from his life. I left him everything, but it still wasn’t right. What else did he want? Emily was mine. I wouldn’t leave her to anyone. I was fighting for her, as I wasn’t willing to lose her, too. Mary caused me enough pain. Then, when I saw Emily lifeless, it was cruel.I knew for sure where he was hiding, and I wasn’t afraid of him or his goons. Rather than live a panic-stricken life, then fight with my life. I was doing it for the woman I loved and for myself. I owed myself, Mary, and Emily.I raced at top speed toward the house where the bastard was holed up. I felt my blood boiling and my heart pounding with the rage I felt.When I got there, I burst through the gate, oblivious to the guards running afte

I even felt like I heard him.“I should have taken Olivia up on her offer to stay at Frank’s,” I thought angrily to myself.At Olivia’s wedding, I felt like all that wound had healed, but I realized there was still a flame smoldering in the depths of my heart.Mike got to know me very well and realized right away that the past broke my peace. I feared for a second that I might be overcome with jealousy, but I soon realized that Mike was not that kind of man. To my relief, Mike realized he was the only one I loved, but that the wounds of the past still hurt. Still, he knew, or at least I hoped he knew, that no one and nothing had any place between us. I only wanted him in my life!I opened the door carefully, as I had the wedding night scene in my eyes and in my ears. I could hear, like a melody on repeat, Kevin’s words that I had heard when I

    KEVINI wish I could have seen my idiot brother’s face when Eddy shot his girlfriend. Actually, his mistress was because she was still my wife.“Honey, please don’t get up. You’re still in a delicate state.” I hated being nagged, especially by Susan. She’d always been a nag who thought by throwing herself on my bed she’d have me in her clutches like a puppy. Except her plans didn’t coincide with mine, so I quickly chased her away. “You must be cautious, as you’re still weak. You’ve had a very serious accident and you haven’t fully recovered,” she continued, rousing me from my reverie.“Leave me! Get lost!” I yelled at her.“But ....” she tried to apologize in a trembling voice. I honestly had more important things to do than listen to her.“What don’t you get? I said leave!” I yelled at her again.“Kevin!” she said and walked closer to me. She tried to stroke my cheek, but I got so annoyed that I hit her across the face with all my strength.

Were you still in a coma?” he asked, surprised.“I don’t know how to explain, but I could hear everything. I wanted to wake up, but something was drawing me into a distant, pure world, something dreamlike. It felt so good there, but I was sad about your suffering. I don’t know if it was all real or just dreams, but I felt present in two totally different worlds,” I tried to explain.Mike smiled gently. He struck my cheek, then lifted my left hand and kissed it. The engagement ring gleamed beautifully in the beating sunlight that streamed nonchalantly in through the large parlor window.“Never mind what it was. You’re here with me now and that’s the most important thing right now. I love you infinitely wonderful woman!” he told me.His daily care helped me recover faster than the doctors expected.
