CHAPTER 73-DECEPTION. THE LOSER
I am not sure if the dilemma is in certainty as it seems right now, but I am delightedly thrilled about the situation this bitch is in. The state of anguish and turmoil amidst mistrust.
She turns to Damian.
“Babe, you must be confusing your target. She is your target and you ought to put end to her life. We need to leave with our daughter before that jerk Andy finds us.” She says between gritted teeth, her face starting to turn pale due to the pain of her gun wound and the confusing actions of her partner.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“How could you two have been so heartless and voracious to make Andy believe that Angel was his daughter, huh? Are you that rotten?” I query, my eyes not blinking nor my hands shaking because no matter how fascinating this act of Damian is, I can not put my guard down. I don’t know what is running through his head.
“That was my project to get back into Andy’s life and milk him of every single cent he has on his name. Unfortunately, the jerk turned out to be a smart dickhead than we thought. Anyhow, now that we have Angel, it’s time to say goodbye to you and that pathetic jerk. Don’t worry, we will make sure to reunite your pathetic souls in hell.” She fumes, forcing a smirk that doesn’t come out well.
“I can’t believe you two. No, correction! I can’t believe you, dumbass! Are you sure your plan is still working? Your partner in crime is pointing a gun at your empty brain and you still have the balls to rant? Can’t you see you are all ALONE, in this absurdity?” I mock.
Ooh, dear! I feel so good mocking her right now. Your time is up, bitch!
“Dream all you want, bitch, but it’s you who will end up six feet under, not me. Aah, wait, correction. Your body will rot in this jungle and only the vouchers will give you the last respect of devouring your rotten decayed body. And me, bitch, I still have a long life with my daughter and her real father, Damian!”The confidence, huh!
“Your overconfidence and imbecility, Maria, will be your end. Perhaps you should be the one saying goodbye to the child who never recognised you, because, ever heard of being double-crossed?””And what the fuck are you ranting about?”
Ooh, so the bold bitch can be shaken, huh? It’s time to taste the hell you’ve made me go through. “I don’t know. But tell me, Maria. Do you honestly believe this jerk that has a gun pointed at you cares for you? No, dear cousin! He just manipulated you as his card of fate, and as the gullible dumb arse you have always been, you fell for his fables. Now watch how the man who helped you kill, squandered all the money you got from all those four tycoons you lured into fake marriages to get a hold of their health, the man you abandoned your daughter for, will betray you. Sorry to say this, but you deserve what’s coming. Look carefully at the paint of betrayal on his face and don’t ever forget it even in your afterlife.”I know that look this jerk is wearing. He either doesn’t want to be part of her plans anymore, or he has had his own plans all along.
She turns around to Damian after scoffing at me albeit with not so much bravery.
“Damian, put an end to this bitch already and meet me and our daughter in the car. We need to leave now!” She says.
Don’t you dare test, my patient, Maria! A single step towards Angel and I will feed you another bullet and I won’t care if I end up behind bars for murder.
You should be here, Andy! Where the hell are you?
She starts to turn, and I place a finger on the trigger, ready to stop her under whatever means from getting to my daughter.
“NO, MARIA!”
She and I snap our faces at Damian, his gun still pointed straight at her head.
Her face turns completely pale blue, wrinkles covering her face.
“What are you doing Damian?” She asks with a broken voice, shaking with fear.
“Putting an end to this madness you started. I’m sorry, Maria, but if I was to choose a mother for my daughter, it would never be you. I’m sorry, but Tania is right.” He cocks the gun, his eyes not leaving her.
“What are you saying, Damian? We have a flight to catch – you, me, and our daughter. We are putting everything behind us and starting afresh like you have always wanted – the three of us, to Miami.”What a well-outlined plan! Weren’t there any red lights to make her see that she wasn’t incorporated in this man’s plans? The devilish smirk on his face says it all, and I think she is starting to see the truth.
“Damian, come on! Let’s…”
“There was never us, Maria! The only thing I cared about was the luxuries you provided, and my daughter.” Tears are flowing down her cheeks after realising how stupid she has been. “I’m sorry, but this is where it all ends. I’m going to start a fresh, but only with my daughter. Good…”I don’t heed the last words as the sound of gunshot echoes throughout the jungle, making me leap in fear as another one follows. Maria’s lifeless body collapses to the ground. Every nerve in me turns cold.
Two gunshots on her forehead. There is no way she can survive.
He killed her in cold blood!
I’m brought back from my shock as he speaks, realizing that he is now pointing his gun at me.
“I’m sorry, but you have to go too, Tania, because I know you will not let me have my daughter. This is the only way for me to finally be with her!”I prepare to launch a survival for the fittest gunfight with him, but he screams first, evading a bullet from my back.
I turn around, and here comes my beast saviour, Andy, firing continually at Damian while approaching me, Damian doing the same. The echoes of the gunshots are almost deafening as he nears by while Damian is taking big steps away, still firing at us.
Andy is now a centimetre close to me, and I notice a grease on his arm. We are both almost staggering to the ground to evade the bullets, but…”MOMMY… DAD…”
We snap in the direction of Angel’s voice which comes to a sudden stop abruptly, and we meet with her small fragile body collapsing to the ground a few centimetres in front of us, blood oozing from the side of her belly.
“ANGEL!” Three voices cry out her name. The shooting stops. And everything else comes to a standstill.
