GREED

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

"Get the kids, it looks like their mother doesn't truly care about them," he mutters bitterly before I could utter a single word to protest when two guards grabbed Kenzie and Cassandra. When Zack tried to fight back one of them punched him sending him flying to the ground with a sickening thud. 

And I panicked. 

"No please don't hurt my kids I promise to sign the documents just-just let them go" I sob. 

"Sign the papers Christina and all of this will be over" he said quietly. 

"Mommy save us" Cassandra cried and I quickly scribbled my name on the papers. 

I couldn't bear to hear my little girls cry. I just wanted her safe and sound. They shouldn't be involved in this bloody mess I call home. 

No it would only bring pain and suffering to them.

Uncle Adam grabbed the documents from my hands flipping through the pages scanning my signature and a big grin plastered on his face. 

He was a very cruel human being and such people didn't deserve to live at all and I would do anything just to kill him myself and end his miserable life. 

"Yes finally these documents are mine!" he yelled proudly. 

He seemed to care only about the documents Familia didn't matter at all to him ; it was all about the money and infinite power he would acquire. It seemed unfair that innocent people were only meant to suffer while the bad guys got away with every bad deed they committed. 

Here the law didn't matter and no one was scared of the police. The only people who fought for justice for the people were the Bhavana soldiers. 

My grandfather might have not told me in the beginning, but when I tried sixteen rumors began to resurface and I was curious so I followed him and found myself in the underground Bhavana territory. 

That's where I saw him kill someone in cold blood after what I had witnessed I ran home and locked myself in the room. 

At first I didn't believe everything and I ignored the facts and trusted him. I wish he was still alive. Maybe I would have confronted him about our family, the death of my parents and his secret identity and why he loved two lives. 

He was still my grandfather and the man who raised me like his own and made me a strong independent woman. He told me to follow my dreams and escape my nightmares when they eventually became dangerous and I think he was precisely talking about this situation right now. I needed to escape it. 

Uncle Adam stared at me cautiously and checked my signature once more. 

"Now that I have signed the papers let my family and I go." 

I was done tolerating his s**t he had to keep the end of the bargain after all I had done my part by signing the papers. 

He eyes me dangerously and bursts out laughing loudly and surprisingly the guards joined in as well and I didn't do anything funny as I gave him a puzzled look. 

"Noble Augusten made the wrong choice by leaving the inheritance in your name. You're very naive my dear Christina infact too naive do you think that I am stupid enough to let you or your family walk out of this place alive!". 

My heart shatters and I glance at Eric looking for someone to back me up, but he gives me a I told you so look. 

Screw him I didn't really need to be mocked right now. 

" Letting you or your family go will certainly jeopardize my plans and I am not going to take that kind of risk. Non of you will leave this room alive you are all going to die with this f*****g secret." 

Adrenaline filled my veins and anger clouded my mind making my body tremble with rage. 

" I might kill you last, because Fred has been dying to f**k your tight p***y"he whispers in my ear and I slapped him across the face hard he gasped in shock and slapped me and I fell to the ground with a sob. 

"f*****g w***e" he cussed and touched his cheek Eric got up his jaw clenched and his whole face hardened when he saw my red cheek. 

"Stay right there or else I'll shoot these spoiled bratty kids" he warned. 

"Eric don't interfere" I sobbed painfully and he stopped in his tracks. 

He points the gun at me and smiles wickedly. 

"Goodbye Christina, say hi to your grandfather. For me, poisoning him was a great way to slowly make him suffer and he died a very miserable death." 

My eyes widened in shock and the air left my lungs. 

"You killed grandpa why?" I managed to whisper as tears threatened to roll down my cheeks. 

Uncle Adam lightly chuckled. 

"That old geaser was always a selfish prick he always overshadowed my accomplishments and never I appreciated a single f*****g thing I did for the Bhavana." 

"I hate you and your grandfather and I am glad that he is rotting in hell and you will join him as well." 

He pointed the again at me once more and pulled the trigger twice. 

"Christina no!" Eric and Zack both yelled at the same time. The bullets were coming towards me in slow motion. I accepted fate and closed my eyes waiting for my death. 

Someone pushed me out of the way and we both landed on the ground with a sickening thud. 

I felt a heavy weight roll over me and when I opened my eyes I saw lots of blood, my lips trembled and a painful sob escaped my lips. 

"Zack!" I screamed and embraced him; he groaned in pain and gasps. 

"You took my bullet, why?" I whisper softly and he gives me a tight smile despite the pain and discomfort on his face. 

He took two bullets in the stomach. 

"Christina, you are going to be my wife soon. I love you and I… I vowed to protect you." 

I shook my head with disapproval. 

"You shouldn't have done that" I sob tearfully. 

He cups both of my cheeks with shaky hands and his lips linger on mine softly his kiss was slow and sensual. 

He pulls back with a gasp. 

"I love you and our daughters Christina take care of them please…" he whispers and takes his last breath his whole body goes limp in my arms. 

"No please don't leave me Zack…" I sob and hold Cassie and Kenzie close to me. 

ERIC'S WILLDER POV 

I took advantage of the situation and lurched myself towards Adam knocking the gun out of his hands. 

I pinned him to the ground and punched his face with rage venting out all the anger I had inside me. 

Right on cue Bhavana soldiers barged in bullets soared in the air as they shot the guards. Adam's noise began to bleed and I smirked with satisfaction. 

"You will pay for this sonofabitch!" he yelled angrily and I punched his nose harder causing him to groan in pain. 

Christina grabbed the gun that landed at her feet with shaky hands and aimed it at Adam's forehead. 

She pulled the trigger and his head cracked open blood splattered everywhere. 

"Go to hell…" She sobs bitterly and to the ground beside Zack.
