1209 Words
"Now, my sweet love wife, how would you like to see your beautiful perfect family? ohhh, wait, our beautiful perfect family dies?"
My heart stops for a minute as tears run down my face, and my family is struggling to break free after he throws that sentence.
How could this beast of a man do such a thing to a woman he used to share love, bed, and lots more with. I chuckle to myself he never loved me for once.
"What is it, my dearest wife gun, knife nah that too easy how about something more interesting like...... burn them. "
I looked up at him in disbelief, and he got a sinister smile
"What do you say boys, I think, taking their organs first so I can sell them, right? You can't leave your son in law poor right .... mom and then burn them. "
His man is laughing at his remark, and finally, I get the strength and courage to ask the only question that has been on my mind.
"Why, Steven? I mean, why do all this?" I look him dead in the eyes.
At least I should know why my family and I are treated like this and why there is hate and lots more in his eyes.
I must know at least if he ever loved me or was this all part of the plan from the beginning.
Was I a stepping stone for him.
His tool to use.
His tool to invade my family and do all this.
I want to know maybe in my next life I would get my revenge or maybe avoid him by all means.
"You the last person to ask me that sweetheart YOU KNOW WHY"
I look at him with confusion in my eyes , what that is supposed to mean.
He comes close to me and brush my face like he used to with love and care f**k who am I kidding love and care there is no such thing as disgust and hatred filled his eyes.
"There is a lot at stake now, wife.. boys move it. "
'His boys' start moving and pouring some water on my family ... wait water that smell likes gasoline f**k gasoline.
I look at Steven. There is excitement in his eyes as I look back at my family, who are struggling in flames.
"Sisssssster pleeeaseee heeeellp"
They are begging me to help them, but how when I am stuck in this stupid chair.
I start struggling to get free, but I am only hurting myself more, but I keep on trying .
Their screams filled my head.
"Please let them go Steven they are innocent, please ... am begging whatever it is, please deal with me instead and leave them out ammmm begging you"
My begging falls to deaf ears, and another thing I hear are screams piercing my heart.
I shift my eyes from Steven and fix them in my family's direction. A cold shiver ran down my spine, and I looked in horror.
My Family Is On Fire.
I finally break down. I been trying to be strong this whole time thinking he wouldn't kill them, but now I am watching my family burns.
My heart is in turmoil as I watch they are tied up together. All they could do is just scream at me for help, but how when I am also stuck.
I feel like my soul is leaving my body.
I am seeing blurr images, and eyes are filled with hot tears.
I am trying to break free from these chains it only hurts my wrists.
"They deserve to die, sweetheart. They are not innocent, just like you."
He whispers in my ear, and I shake my head non-stop how come a five year old is not innocent.
"They are not screaming Steven pleeeaseee it too quite Steeeven they are not screaming pleeeaseee tell them to scream. I c.. ca... can't bear the quietness "
Why are they quite?
"They are dead,"
He whispers in my ear again, I turn and spit on his face, and he gets angry and punches me several times.
'THEY ARE DEAD' that the only thing ringing on my mind as he punch me non-stop to top it all am not even feeling any pain am just numb.
They dead I look in their direction with difficulty they are not there anymore on black ashes.
They were there just moments ago, and they they just turned into ashes.
Life is just full of mockery. Can you believe the man I brought home is the same man that destroyed my trust, love, and family, and now the life that was just there a few moments ago is no more it turned into ashes.
I don't know what going on, but there are no tears in my eyes. I feel like an empty soul.
"That was a good show, right sweetheart."
I don't have any energy for him anymore because I don't know why he is doing all this we were just having fun this morning I could still see thier smiles in my mind and my eyes are stuck on ashes and now thier screams, sadness is all on my mind and thier burning bodies.
I think my heart is no longer with.
I don't feel no heartache it just gone cold.
"Boys, clean that up and store that ashes in a good place."
"Where are you taking them?"
I ask slowly and softly, and he just laughs.
"Don't worry about them... as you can see they are gone, worry about yourself ."
He speaks as he drags me outside and puts me in the backseat, still tied on my legs and hands. There is no running away, and he sits in the driver seat and drives away.
I can see him watching me through the mirror.
"Don't be upset, sweetheart." he taunts me, and I am beginning to hate that word he keeps calling me with.
We arrive in about ten minutes in our destination, and he drags me out. Next thing I am on the edge of the cliff. I feel waves splashing below, I look back at the monster standing in front of me.
I look at him coming towards me well at least I will go meet my family in the afterlife and next thing I feel a cold metal piercing my stomach I lock eyes with Steven who is enjoying all this.
He pushes the dagger deeper and twists it.
I look down my stomach as witnesses the dagger plunged in my stomach and I feel hot blood liquid running down my stomach to my legs and I look back at him.
He grins and draws back the dagger only for him to push it back again and again and again.
"Goodbye my love"
He shove the dagger again I don't know where the strength came from as I grab close to me as I whisper in his ear hope it haunts him.
"Until we meet again you will wish you never met me hus..band"
He pulls back and I stagger as I have no energy left. He pulls the gun and I close my eyes and two gunshot rang out.
