I calmly closed my eyes and opened them again. Lucas already got the signal – it was our secret code.
He pointed his gun at the motherfucker's head and shot it directly.
His eyes widened and before he could understand what was going on with him, he fell backwards. The gun also fell on the ground.
Anna was finally free from the danger.
I ran to her and dragged her back in my arms. Her face was stained with tears. She was like a dead body without a soul. I knew she might run away from me after today. I revealed one of my biggest secrets in front of her like this. My darkness suddenly grassed her brightness.
I touched her face, yet she gave no reaction. "Anna, are you okay?"
No response.
I kissed all over her face. "Love." Suddenly she closed her eyes and fell on my arms.
I understood that she finally lost her senses. I picked her up and carried her inside.
I wanted to wake her badly but decided not to do it. She needed time to calm down for a bit.
Everything was too much for a girl who could never even see anyone killing a bird. Her husband killed someone in front of her.
Anna had some blood on her face and clothes. It was that fucker's blood when Lucas shot him. Anna was too close, and blood splashed on her body.
I went to the bathroom, came back with a towel, cleaned her carefully, and left no blood or dirt. I changed her clothes.
Anna's face was puffy. My heart was in great pain, yet I could only bear the pain. One thing I was sure of when Anna would wake up, something big was going to happen.
I opened the cabinet and took out the first-aid box.
That fucking son of a bitch slapped her hard. She had a few cuts all over the face and a blue handprint on her left cheek.
I fisted my hand. I wanted to fucking kill him, but Anna's safety was more important than my revenge.
I cleared up her wound and applied ointment gently. My girl was always afraid of darkness and blood but being with me only could give her these two.
Yet I knew I was a boundless selfish person.
I did not want to let her go. She was my oxygen. The moment she would leave me, my soul would leave with her.
After clearing up, I left the room. After taking a few steps, I walked back to the door and locked the door from outside.
At this moment, I was not brave enough to give her any freedom. It might cost me lifelong regret.
I went directly to where Lucas and my men kept every son of the bitches. Only two were alive and the others were already dead.
Still, they knew how their lives depended on those answers.
"Number 1, who sent you all?" I made sounds with the knife. They shivered with every sound.
"It's Ms. Frey. She wanted your girl to die," one of them answered in a low voice. "Good." I laughed out of my lungs. "So that bitch's back now."
"Number 2, who was involved with her?" That bitch would never go this far with no one's help.
"Your father, Mr. Frey, and Mr. Baldrick."
Wow they're so straightforward. I like their response.
"Next, if they ordered you all to kill my woman, why would they want to kidnap her? You all got such a golden opportunity, but let it go in vain. Why?" I inquired and they lowered their heads. "You all wanted her alive because someone else wanted her alive." I smirked. I already knew the answer in my heart.
"I don't need the answer anymore. Goodbye, friends. Never meet me in the next life. Otherwise, I will not give you any painless death anymore," I said and took the gun. I shot it straight in their heads.
I already got my answer. Some wanted to kill Anna to clear their path, others wanted to get her to kill me, but they didn't know that I, Blaze Roderick, was not someone they could mess with.
"I'm tired. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Leave with everyone. I need alone time with Anna." I walked out and went toward our bedroom.
My heartbeat stopped as soon as some noises reached my ears from inside our bedroom.
