Taming the Ruthless

Scar

Chapter 7: Scar

I tightened my grip on the goblet as I watched her swollen neck and cheeks. I close my eyes in annoyance but I prevent myself from throwing the glass I am holding. I don’t want to disturb her in her deep sleep.

I put the glass of wine I was holding on the side table and then sat on the side of her bed and held her hands. I ran my finger over those sore parts and then kissed them softly.

"Boss" I heard Luke's voice. I carefully put Aisha's hand down then stood up. I looked at him and noticed that he was beaten and wearing a sling. I went out of the room first and he followed and then slammed the door shut. I faced him as he bowed to me.

"I said, There should be no scars on either of them. Both my two children have scratches and look at Aisha's situation! Did I make a mistake Lucas ?! Did I make a mistake in giving my trust to you ?! While Kierra, at least the bullet is coming for her even though you are so weak that you have managed to save her ?! While you have done nothing for Aisha and Ezekiel! Have you forgotten your responsibility! " I couldn't control my anger so I shouted at him

He suddenly knelt in front of me. I watched what he would do next.

"I know my apology will not undo the wounds and trauma of Miss Aisha but I want to apologize for all my misfortune and negligence Boss. I understand if you want to end my life in compensation for my negligence in my responsibility and work. I rescued Kierra because ... because she was unaware that the gun was pointed at her. I saw that Miss Aisha was in good condition so I didn't hesitate to save Kierra because there was no one anyway will do that for her.No one is willing to protect and save her Boss." My grin widened at the courage he had to say that to me.

"I want you to put a red mark on Oliver's name on that list. I would have liked to make that i***t feel the taste of hell but I couldn't help myself and I'm not in the mood to waste my time listening to the screams and pleas. niya. I don't want to bring his presence to my territories. I'll ignore this mistake of yours first Lucas but if it happens again you already know where you are " There was no emotion when I told him

I couldn't wait for her to answer and I walked into Aisha's room. I smiled to see her beautiful eyes slowly brighten. I took his hand and then kissed it.

"Baby ... is there any pain? Tell me? Are you thirsty or hungry?"

"I'm at fault Gus. I looked you in the eyes and I saw your mask. But I didn't mean that I was so attracted to your eyes that I couldn't avert my gaze." I wanted to laugh because she closed her eyes immediately while saying that.

"Look at me. I'm ordering you to look at me, Baby. You've seen my hiding eyes but I'm not ready to show my face yet"

"Are you embarrassed Gus? Maybe you're ugly so you don't want to show it" she teased me. I can't help but smile. Do you think that I will give up on your teasing?

"Really baby? Maybe when you see this face you'll drop your panties? I don't want that to happen because I'll present you at the altar first before taking what you're keeping and giving Cattleya and Ezekiel the baby siblings"Suddenly her face turned very red because of the embarrassment she felt because of what I said.

"Your jokes are mixed with other meanings Gus" You're the one with the dirty thoughts there, just tell me. I will do it. I promise I'm delicious and you'll moan loudly because I'm good at making you happy --- Hahaha "I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw her close her eyes and cover both his ears

"That's enough Gus! My God! You're staining my Innocent mind with Yii"

"Look at me. If you don't follow me I will make a way that you will like or get angry to make things clear Let's make love"

"Augustus!"

I keep myself from smiling too much. Then my voice was forced to be serious and sounded angry. I hope she doesn't notice.

"Look at me, Aisha. I'm ordering you to stare at me" I said firmly. Oh God, I love teasing her!

"W-why would I look at your face and stare into your eyes when in the first place you strictly forbade it? I do not want to. because when the time I will look there in your eyes. I know I will never be able to escape" she whispered slowly. You're right baby. If it is necessary to make you pregnant so that I have enough and strong attachment to you so that you do not leave, I will do it. And I will never regret it.

"Because I also have no plans to let you run away from me Baby. You take my heart with a perfect shot Aisha. I have no plans to let you escape away from me because you've been mine since the very beginning. From the moment you dared to get in my car, you're mine. From the moment you look at me when I am wearing a thin cloth, you are Mine. From the moment our eyes traverse I can say you are Mine. I will do everything so that you can escape this magic of mine Aisha. Not and you are right. By the time you look into my eyes, you will never know the way out because I will confine you to the warmth of my arm and love "

I smiled when I saw her cheek was red, she shuddered. My baby is so damn hot and gorgeous especially when she's in love Damn! this is what I want. I want to look at the scene in front of me. The perfect woman in front of me. I didn't mean to fall in love but she made it so easy.

What did she do? Nothing. nothing because whether she does something or not I will still fall for her. It's my destiny to be set to her lovely and enchanting beauty.

"The things you're making me feel are enough for me to no longer feel the pain of my body and tiredness. Why do I suddenly feel better when you're reminding me and just showing me that you love me. Why so strong and fast the effect of this kind of medicine Augustus? "

I kissed her hand then smiled.

"That's the proof that I'm the only one who's the only cure for your ailments Aisha. I'm the only one"

"I'm scared to look at you. I'm scared that I might never be able to keep my eyes off

by the time that hits your beautiful and drowning eyes Gus but I'm so tempted and I might not be able to stop it anymore"

I sighed and then got up from my seat with my eyes still on her. I touched the hem of my T-shirt and took it off.

"W-what are you doing?"

I sat back at her and let her stare at my big Scar in the back caused by a bad past that I wouldn’t stop and like a nightmare coming back to me. I immediately felt her soft fingers touch my skin and gently ran her finger along that scar. I close my eyes because a bitter memory enters my mind.

"What happened to make you have such a scar on your back? Who did this Gus?"

"Do you want me to tell you a story Baby?"I said coldly as I savored the pain and agony of the past hiding behind this big scar of mine. Every time I think about it it seems like something wants to go away and come out of me. I want to behead everyone belonging to that human lineage down to the last generation. I want to express this anger to him.

"Gus if you're not ready I won't force you. But if you want someone to tell you how you feel, I'm just here and ready to listen"

I closed my eyes and smiled bitterly

Flashback

A cold night and a breeze startled me as I walked out of the hotel room at a resort where I was going to celebrate my 8th birthday. My joy is undeniable because my wish to be with my parents on my birthday will come true.

"Why don't you wear a jacket, it's too cold right now here outside Gus. Come and let's go inside your room first" Smiling my father said. I looked at him because I had never seen his face before. It is hidden behind a mask. When he can close. the door I sat on the far side of the bed then watched him find me a jacket to wear.

Papa. I want to ask for something on my birthday" I begin.

When he saw a jacket, he approached my direction and put it on me. He looked at me with a smile and then ruffled my hair.

"What do you want that Augustus?" he said kindly.

"I want to see your face papa. May I?"

Laughing he removed the strap of the mask tied behind his head and gently took it away from his face. I couldn’t measure my joy because I watched my father’s face for the first time

"Are you happy because your wish was fulfilled son?" he said softly.

"There's nothing happier than I feel this Papa but I have a question I want to let you know Papa"

"You can say because I might have an answer to that question Augustus"

"I want to know why for many years you haven't let people see me? I can roam freely inside our mansion but why is death the appropriate punishment every time they look at me especially the our servants? "

He stood up then sat in the chair in front of me and stared straight into my eyes

"That's the way I know you child will be protected against my countless enemies. I don't let even the letters of your name appear in public and they know your last name enough. Our family has been very influential in the past. years and it has been our tradition not to show our face to anyone since the mistake your grandfather made happened. Many people are jealous and want to remove us from this position Gus. Not just a throne of influence if not for many other reasons. Many people are deceitful and abusive. So I don’t want that to happen to us and I’m delicate in choosing the so -called alliance. I only protect you from the possibilities" He stopped and hold my hands and sigh "So I want you to be smart in deciding. Be brave and show the world that you are not being taken lightly and inappropriately lowered. You are supposed to be the definition of the word fear. I know your thinking is too broad and the depth of your mindfulness. I know you understand everything I say son"

"Yes Father. But can I not hide behind that mask? I want the world to know me as I am, as Augustus Dalton "

He sighed then took the ring on his finger and handed it to me.

“If that’s what you want I won’t stop you I want you to live accordingly and follow your desires but I suggest you if you want to better protect yourself hide your face behind this mask and let your desires know. desire in clever ways while bravely sitting on the throne of darkness " Inhugged my father tightly. I will never disappoint you.

"Happy Birthday Augustus"

he put that mask back on and held our hands as we left the room. I sat in the chair in front of him and started eating. We talked about a lot of things, especially Mama when she was still alive.

"Sir Enrique! Are there any armed men who have entered this resort! It looks like we have entered their trap sir!"

I heard my father cussed and he suddenly stand up without worrying he hasn't finish his meal. He looked at me and sign that I should follow him. Our steps will be quick as our staff surrounds us for protection. We circled around and took the secret underground way to the parking lot.

"Augustus I want you to listen to me and promise me tht you will be safe and... and be brave son"

I didn’t answer and remained as serious as he was. He quickly pulled me secretly behind him when we were stopped when his staff's gun suddenly aimed at him in front of his forehead.

" I am right in thinking that you are the stinking traitor to my men"

I noticed that many of the guns were pointed at us, others were traitors, our staff, others were from nowhere. Only three remained loyal to us. I don't know but a burning anger flared up inside me. My father is right people are very deceitful! I could feel the tightness of his hold on me and his eyes staring at me.

"Take off that mask Enrique! You're so coward!"

I would have stopped him when he quickly removed that mask and simply handed it to me. Papa ... what are you doing? Why.

I saw the nervousness register on that man's face when my father looked at him.

a deafening laugh I heard from my father. Full of anger and really scared to hear that. I even felt the fear they felt. I looked at the mask I was holding and then slowly put it on.

"J'ai tiré avec l'arme que je tenais. Prends soin de mon fils tout de suite. Montez dans la voiture à côté de nous et commencez à courir. Ne vous inquiétez plus pour moi et protégez mon enfant pour le reste de votre vie. Protégez-le Harry et Akira." (I fired with the gun I was holding. Take care of my son right away. Get in the car next to us and start running. Don't worry about me anymore and protect my child for the rest of your life. Protect him Harry and Akira)

"Enrique! Ça ne peut pas être!" (Enrique! It can not be)

"Ma décision est complète Akira. Personne ne peut arrêter même mon fils" (My decision is complete Akira. No one can stop even my son)

I know. I know it's even in French. I understood every word of my father. I could feel the path of my tears continuing to flow down my cheeks. He would sacrifice his life just to save me. Trembling I clenched my fist

"À présent!" (Now!)

I could feel the force of Harry pulling me and the sound of my father's gun but before I could get into the car a sharp object hit my back causing me to shout as if my throat tendon would explode. It was too painful and deep for that thing to land on my back. The wound is too deep. I closed my eyes in pain and faced that smiling face. You mistakenly show me your face. I will make sure I get the revenge I am looking for. I will consume your descendants to the last generation. I just can’t memorize that face even though your full name is like a broken record playing and whispering in my mind.

"Damn!" I heard my father cry as he looked at me full of concern. Akira hugged me tightly as Harry drove fast. A smile from my father appeared before I was swallowed up by the darkness

I woke up feeling very sick in my back and tired. My heart is saddened and grieved by what my father experienced. I noticed they didn’t remove the mask I was wearing. I was quietly crying and thinking over and over what my father had said

"I want to know everything because I will kill that man"

End of the Flashback

I could feel the silence prevailing within that room.

"Did you find that person, Gus? Are you going to take revenge on him? But what is his family's fault for the evil he did to you" Aisha said gently

I grinned devilishly then touched her on both cheeks to look at me. I felt some intimacy and she wanted to avoid looking at me but a kiss suddenly makes her stop and instead she looked at me bravely.

"It's also not my fault for him to treat me like this Aisha. What he did to my father I will not do just fair. I will retaliate until I get bored. I want that person's blood to flow in my hands while begging like it's just music to my ear"

I could see the frustration on her face because of what I said. Contrary to what she thought I would do. I am not fair if retaliating will never be fair.

"This is not a good example to your children Gus. The way you want revenge is also not good in the eyes of the law"

I smiled bitterly. I never believe that justice can be done for what happened to my father. The legal system is too blind and deaf when there is money to be spent on it. Why would I wait for the law to pass if I can? And if the law is in order, why is my father still not being given justice? I will break the law and inflict the whip of a Dalton on them.

"My children will never know Baby. And if the law is harsh I will impose a more severe punishment even more painful than the death sentence"
