The BEGINNING OF AN ENDING
1133 Words
I swallowed nothingness after staring at William for a good minute
“Liam meet Pax, my best friend and Pax meet Liam, he is my…umm…” I eyed Liam since I didn't know what to introduce him as
“Her boyfriend” he finished it for me, and I couldn't help but blush at hearing him utter those words 'Her boyfriend'. So I was someone's girlfriend.
Pax stretched out his hand. He was shocked and angered by what he'd just heard, but he managed to hide all of those emotions with a faint smile
“Nice to meet you,” he said, waiting for Liam to shake his hand, but Liam only looked at his hand full of disgust. I eyed him to stop acting like a child
“I wish I could say the same to you,” Liam said. My eyes widened at his reply, how could he be so rude?
“Ahem, ahem… Liam is…um… very funny.
He's just joking, don't mind him” I said, faking laughter
“I don't joke,” he said in a serious tone
“ Um, please excuse us” I pulled him away
“Hey what's that about” I asked him
“I thought we're supposed to have fun is this the fun you were referring to watching my girlfriend flirt with someone,” he said angrily. No, he was shouting.
“We weren't flirting” I defended myself
“Look, I know what I saw, if you don't like him then he likes you. Stay away from him” now he was calmer
“Oh, so presently you're a soothsayer?, Look I'm going I'll come back when you've cooled down” I ran to Paxton's office leaving him there. I don't like jealous people.
“Hey, I'm sorry about earlier, I…” I said as I got into Paxton's office, but he cut me off
“He's not yours…” I also cut him off, his back was facing me.
“Look I…” He threw pictures at me and I went silent. How? Now did I?
“He is in a mafia gang in rivalry with the family he was luring to him, so he'd have easy access to everything he wants in the house. He doesn't want you, he wants what you have. When started going MIA, I had people following you? That's when I found out about him, and so I did a background check on him and voilà!” He said
These pictures had Liam with a girl with her, they looked in love, the worst part was the same clothes he wore in the pictures were the ones he'd been wearing the last couple of days. I picked one up and went to the door. I needed to give him a piece of my mind.
I was about to turn the door knob when we heard a gunshot, which in a blink of an eye turned into gunshots.
Pax paced to his safe and grabbed his dagger and was about to leave when I glared at him and hissed,
“Don't. Even. Think. About. It”.
He chuckled and threw another pistol at me, just when we were about to leave, Gabriel barged in
“Your boyfriend brought his guys over. It's a f*****g mess out there, it's your fault if anyone gets hurt because we're outnumbered” he left after saying that and guilt sank in me.
“Felix!” I shouted,
“Paxton you have to get me home, I need to make sure my dad's okay, Now!”
“Fine, follow me”
My heart was pounding as fast as it could.
What just happened? One minute I'm happy with my boyfriend, the next minute I'm worried that about my family's life because my supposedly boyfriend might kill them.
What the hell is happened to me, what Paxton is said makes so much sense, but it don't want to believe it.
“Come on, stop sulking, he wouldn't touch your family. He's smarter than that” Paxton said,
“Paxton, how do you know Gabriel so Well?” He fixes his eyes on the road.
“Why did he resent me just at first glance?” I shrug
“Because he knows about our enmity”
“But if he touches them, I'll be held accountable for that, imagine how Mom would feel” I couldn't stop the tears escaping from my eyes as I thought of these, I mean I knew I was stupid, but I just didn't it would to this extent.
I risked my family's lives by falling in love,
“Your Mom's crazy, so she wouldn't blame you plus he might have met his ancestors by now”
“Look, Mom's bound to know what happened, so it's no use saying that… wait what do you mean met his ancestors? Did you kill him?” I asked, panicking
“Well, Gabriel planted a bomb in his car so,” Pax said, shrugging his shoulders as if it were no big deal.
“WHAT!” I bawled. I pulled out my phone. His number was on speed dial, so I found him in a second, the only hiccup was, would he answer?
It kept on ringing and I kept trying until,
“Speak” I heard him say on the other line, how rude!
“Are you driving your car, if you are getting out of it right now, would be a great idea there's a bomb in that car”
“What bomb…are you high? Do you shout at me and come telling about bombs… are you crazy?” He was shouting at me, yet I was the one trying to save his ass.
“Look I… I'm sorry about earlier but… look, that's not vital. I need you out of that c…” BOOM! I couldn't finish my sentence after I heard that sound.
“Hello? Hello?” I kept saying this until it dawned on me that, he was dead. I killed him, I was responsible for his death.
“Stop the car.” I said,
“Take me there” I ordered Paxton, and he took a U-turn and sped off to the place where the accident had occurred.
Tears rolled down my cheeks, my heart painful and as if it were about to burst out. When we reached the place, the police had already arrived.
Before I stood a Bugatti Veyron, one he loved dearly, it was a gift from his father to him. It wasn't even recognizable anymore, it was in flames.
The was not a possible way he could've survived this, I tried going to the car, but Paxton halted me saying I would draw attention.
And just like that I lost him.
