Agony, Terror and Pain

Theo's P.O.V A rueful smile that caused my upper lips to curl at both sides spread through my face as I stared into the phone screen! This was the only way to expose Dashiell and his little miss Liar. I watched the commotion going on between Lucas and Ines and I couldn't be more glad that I bailed him out. "You are so going to be done for! Dashiell! Do you want to take the things that are supposed to be mine? Now watch what I would do to you" I muttered through gritted teeth before bursting into a peal of hysterical laughter that was soon muffled against my palm. All my life, I had always held one thing towards Dashiell— Hate! I hated him so much that just the mere sight of him always made my skin crawl. The fact that he was always doing better than me and no matter how much I tried to put in hard work, he would always overtake me and thwart all my efforts! However, since I was starting to gain my grandfather's support, I will make sure to take back everything Dashiell had taken from me. "I am the head and Dashiell will always be under me!" Ever since our parents died in a plane crash, we were raised by our grandfather who brought us up with an iron fist. Grandfather always had high hopes for me and he wanted me to be the one who would inherit the GLK group of companies but Dashiell! The damned Dashiell! I didn't know how he did it but he ended up proving himself to be better than me. Life was always easy for him but it was rough for me. Day by day, I watched as the love that my grandfather had for me dwindled with every passing second until the remaining thing he held towards me was resentment. Dashiell was the reason why Grandfather treated me as the black sheep of the family. Dashiell was the reason why I went into drugs. He stole everything from me! He took my grandfather away from me and most importantly, he was the reason why my parents died in that accident! Only if they didn't go all out for his birthday, only if they didn't go out to buy a toy for their whiny and ungrateful son who kept crying because he wanted the same toy car as mine. If they hadn't given birth to him, then they wouldn't have died and I wouldn't have to compete with anyone concerning the things that belong to me. "I hate him so much and just wish that he died" I muttered through gritted teeth. "Anyways, baby brother Dashiell, there is no use in you dying! If you die, how would you be able to handle the shame and ridicule that is coming your way when I expose you to the whole world!" I said to myself as a smug smile crept through my face. Just the thought of Dashiell's downfall caused butterflies to flutter in my stomach. It was a kind of euphoria that I had never experienced. It was exhilarating, gripping, and enthralling! It was something that I wanted to experience over and over again. I watched as Lucas threatened Ines and that fulfilled me in many ways and most importantly, when he kissed her forcefully. My assistant, Adam, who was sitting next to the driver, glanced at me. "Lucas is doing a good job!....." I interrupted. "I paid him one million dollars, I also bailed him. He would lick my feet like the dog that he is!" "Impressive" Adam swung his head back in their direction. All of a sudden, Ines kicked him in the groin and ran to her house while I rolled my eyes to the back when Lucas groaned in pain. I handed the phone to Adam, instructing him to carefully edit the whole scenario and edit it in an incriminating way. "Edit all the parts where it looks like force was applied" I instructed Adam who nodded subtly. "I can't believe that I have to help this lowlife into this car" I frowned before taking in a deep breath. I smoothed my hair and got out of the car as I rushed towards Lucas and helped him to get up. "Oh my God! Can you walk on your own? I should probably call Adam....." I attempted to hang a hand over his shoulder but he stepped to his side with his hands over his crotch. Fore beads of sweat trailed down his forehead as he groaned. "No, please don't! You have helped me a lot. I will walk to the car to myself" He limped towards the car while I paused, staring at his pathetic self. "Fool!" I cursed under my breath. "Bloody fool" A faint smile formed on Lucas's face when Adam handed him pain relief as he muttered. "Thank you!" I turned exasperated eyes to Lucas, placing a hand on his shoulder and patting it gently. "I am the cause of everything that happened. I apologize for her kicking you in the....." Lucas cut in, smiling awkwardly before waving his hands dismissively. "Forget about it. I did what I had to. You said that this was a win-win situation for me plus I will get Ines back and instead of Dashiell marrying her, I will be the one to do that" All of a sudden, his phone vibrated and it was a call from Dashiell. I could see the anxiousness in his eyes as he glanced at me like he needed permission from me before he could answer his call. "I don't know if I should....." His words trailed as he scratched his head. I smiled at him, staring deep into his eyes. "How could Dashiell have done something like that to you? How could he take his best friend's woman" Lucas responded quickly. "I am sure that he had no idea. I never introduced Ines to him but I planned to introduce Ines to him whenever we get engaged. In that way, he would give me money for the wedding" I forced out a smile. "And are you sure that you guys are best friends? Best friends don't keep secrets from each other" Lucas sighed. "I know! Dashiell would be so annoyed with me because he wanted to know who I was dating" He ducked his head. I almost rolled my eyes to the back! What he didn't know was that his actions favored me. "You would be fine. I wish you a happy married life with Ines but if you would excuse me, My P. A and I need to head back to the office for something important" I said, glancing at Lucas who quickly unbuckled his seat belt. "Oh! I thought that you were driving me home!' I almost scoffed before I managed to control myself. "Drive you home? You should take a taxi" "Oh okay" He was about to get out of the car when he darted his eyes toward me and smiled brightly. "It would be too late to take a taxi since they are hardly around this area by this time. I would take the bus but can you please help me with my bus fare?" I arched my brow in confusion. "I don't get it. I should help you with your bus fare. I gave you a million dollars and still gave you some little cash and it has hardly been six hours!" He smiled awkwardly. "Ummm. I had to pay off some debts and then I invested the money so that I would give Ines and me a better future" I stared at him for a while before forcing out a smile. "Give him the money for his bus fare" I instructed Adam who gave him a huge amount of cash. Lucas already gambled with the money and seeing him lie so blatantly was something I found to be funny. His audacity and lackadaisical attitude were something that always irritated me but at the same time, I found it amazing! It would be so easy to turn him against Dashiell. All Lucas needed was money and I would keep giving him till I was done with him. As soon as he got out of the car, Adam sprayed the car with a disinfectant just like I instructed. "Who knows if he has brought in bed bugs into this car" Adam lowered his head. "I will give instructions for the car to be cleaned thoroughly" Now it was time to destroy Dashiell totally and as soon as the DNA result was out, then it would be all over. A smile crept at the corner of my lips when memories of how I managed to sow a seed of doubt into the heart of Fiona's grandfather flashed through my head. I used my grandfather in advising Mr. Everest to be sure about Ines and to ensure that he confirmed that Ines was his granddaughter, Fiona. My grandfather's words resounded in my ears. "I know that Dashiell has good intentions concerning you but you should be sure about that girl. If it is confirmed that she is Fiona, then I will make sure that I bless the union between the two of them" I chipped in. "I don't mean to be disrespectful and I am not trying to say that sheisn't Fiona but Fiona should still have her DNA samples. If it matches with that lady that claims to be her, then it means that she is telling the truth" Mr Everest agreed and somehow, he managed to get Ines's hair sample. All that was left was for the results to be out and slowly, Dashiell would be nothing but history. I leaned in my seat, shutting my eyes while trying to envision how victorious my war against Dashiell would be. I tried to picture the reaction on his face when he finally found out that he had been exposed. I felt fulfilled because I knew that I was about to step into victory. Abruptly, my eyes snapped open, the sudden blare of a car horn slicing through the silence that I was starting to engulf in, jolting my senses into immediate alertness. In an instant, the world around me blurred into chaos, and in the blink of an eye, the deafening impact of colliding vehicles echoed through the air. The collision sent shockwaves through my body, and my head violently met the surface of the side mirror and the only sound that I heard was that of the symphony of shattering glasses. Screams of agony, terror, and pain! Slowly, my eyelids surrendered to the darkness that soon engulfed me in its embrace.
