UNBREAKABLE

Chapter 7: Dark Secret

Bash's POV

After what seemed like hours of pacing back and forth in my room, wondering what must be happening right now

Will Max be able to eliminate this threat of mine once and for all today?

Will my life finally have a glimpse of hope and peace without the existence of Leonard??

I did a happy dance in my head just imagining him out of the picture and dad loving and trusting me with everything, I will be the only son of the William's and I will be treated like a god in other to take up the family business

I just cannot wait to snub my dad and act like I don't care about the family business or reputation, I just want him to suffer a little bit for choosing an adopted son over me

What will become of him if his Lovely Leonard is brought back to him dead?

He will stop acting like am invisible and show some respect, and to all those family members who treated me like trash, I just can't wait to return their favors

My cheeks display a laugh of victory and I raise my glass of Whisky to celebrate my lonesome success

Third person's POV

Bash was in cloud9 doing a victory dance with his glass of whisky when his phone rang

He picked up immediately as he was long awaiting this call

Hello, Bash on the line

Hello boss, this is max

OH! Max please my ears are eager to receive the good news, please give me the news that will complete my happiness

Errrrmmmm bo.... ooss he stammered, please am so... ory I fa... ailed you again

He stammered while clearing his throat to finish the last part

The man i sent was not competent and he lost him, iam so sorry I know it's my fault, please give me the last chance to make this right plea.... se

He stammered again losing all confidence

One would ask if this is the heartless and cold max that is top notch in cold murder, number one hit man feared and known by many in the country and beyond, a drug lord and a mafia of the most feared assassin's cartel

Seeing him chicken out on the phone just speaking to Bash is something that left his men puzzled as they stared blankly at him

As soon as he finished passing information on his failed mission

At the other side of the phone, Bash had switched from super excitement to rage in a matter of seconds

Why are you so useless Max

Are you even sure you are the max I've been hearing about?

If I knew you will be so useless, I would never have saved your life,

You should be rotting in jail by now

Twice have I committed this task to you and twice have you failed me

Why are you so an incompetent f**l?

Why can't you just kill him and make him disappear completely from my life???

Why can't you understand that his living presence is torturing my insides? why can't you just end this my misery???

How do I return home and look at my parent as a failure??

The William's company will never be passed down to me with Leonard alive

I don't care what you do or how you do it

Kill him

Or else I will have to hunt you down

Do I make myself clear??

Ye.... Yes boss max stammered again

I will not let you down again this time

You better not, Bash ended the call after his last sentence and smashed his phone on the wall, he gave the wall a few punches until his knuckles were bleeding, he took the wine class emptied the last sip and sent it flying to the wall

The bottle of whisky on the table was sent flying as well as every other valuable item in his room

In his rage he had ended up destroying every beautiful piece of art and furnitures, his room was a total mess

Being exhausted from all the rage and destruction he fell on his bed facing the ceiling as he whisper- cursed... Incompetent fools

Little did he know that he had another presence just outside his door witnessing everything from start to finish

Leonard's POV

What the f**k have I just heard

Today must really be designed as the end of the world for me

Bash is really responsible for this??

I gasp and tried to breath, it was as if the world is falling around me, my body became numb and I had to gather all courage to drag myself to my room, I was having panic attack

I didn't know how to help myself, I can't call on Bash, he wants me dead,

I can't contact anybody I lost my phone in the fight with the hoodie guy

I opened all my windows to let fresh air hit my skin, I zoomed to the bathroom with every strength left in me, I can't die today, not under this roof

I slowly pushed myself with my cloths in the jacuzzi as I turned the water on making it warm on my skin

I felt my eyes closing gently, as I tried to keep it open, it wasn't long till my eyes completely closed and all I could feel was total darkness, it felt like the darkness was eating my soul, memories of everything that happened that day played on my head like a CD plate and all I could here were voices

Oh my God Leo wake up Bash screamed

Is he dead?

the other voice asked, I think it should be my neighbors, they must have gotten in when Bash screamed, but why will he raise alarm, didn't he want me dead?

My world is filled with confusion and unanswered questions

I started shaking and gasping for air

he's having a panic attack

Call an ambulance was the last thing I heard before my memory became completely blank and I passed out in my bathroom.

I opened my eyes and shut it back as the room was too bright for my sight, I parted my eyes slowly to adjust my sight to the brightness,

Taking the environment Into view, I realize there was an EKG machine beeping besides me, I was wearing a patient gown and the smell of antibiotics hitting my nose brought me to full consciousness of where iam, how did I get to the hospital???

I surveyed the environment and raised my eyes to the wall clock and it was pass 2pm,

Last I remember it was not even midnight when I got home

D**n it! how long have I been out for?

Still surveying my environment when my eyes quickly landed on a figure lying on a bench at the end of my ward, judging from the colour of his hair, I knew it would be Bash

OMG! Bash

Memories of yesterday was refreshed and I didn't know what else was happening as I was no longer in control of my body.

Bash's POV

I was still sleeping on the hospital couch when the nurse came out of Leonard's room shouting, call the doctor please

I flew in seconds jetting to the doctors office when I didn't even know what was going on, seconds later the doctor walks out with me wearing his gloves majestically as he took long strides towards Leo's room, I couldn't help but wonder why he is calm, unlike me who looked like I have just seen a ghost

We walked to Leo's room and the nurse taking care of Leo informed the doctor he was having a seizure when she walked in

I took a deep breath to calm myself while I continue feigning the good brother that i am, my facial appearance displays my worries for my brother

But deep down I just wish he dies on this hospital bed, that way Fate will be smiling greatly at me, I wouldn't have to stain my hands with his blood

After examining his body, the doctor turned to me, lover or family?

I responded family, he gave me some papers to sign and said he will be OK to leave in a few days

And I have to take good care of him

I should make sure he stresses less and rest more, I should avoid sharing over sensitive informations as it is not advised in the time being

Long-term anxiety and panic attacks can cause the brain to release stress hormones on a regular basis. This can increase the frequency of his symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and depression, he might even lose his senses if this Continues the doctor explains

I simply nodded in understanding

And smirked inwardly

Am Simply going to be doing the exact opposite of the doctors instructions

The sooner he looses his senses, the better for me, I will not have to kill him directly, the psychiatric ward will be his new home and no one needs a lunatic as CEO of the Williams

My luck must really be shinning on me today, I can tell fate is on my side

I smiled with content as I walked closer to his bed.

Third person's POV

Bashed walked closer to Leonard's bed and sat by the edge

Hei Leonard, I have a Confession to make he said

And am only making this confessions because I know you can't hear me

I have always hated you from the day you were adopted to my family

Who said I wanted a brother, a smart one at that

My home was peaceful and I had all the attention until you came into the picture

You became everyone's favorite and I was just living in your shadows

You were better than me in everything and nothing and that was suffocating me

I used hate as a factor to send you away

But my hatred never affected you one bit

Instead I was being distanced by my parents so I decided to take a more precautionary method.. "becoming your friend"

Leonard shifted a bit on his bed but his eyes were still closed and Bash was too deep in thoughts to notice this moment

Then he continued speaking

Becoming friends with you wasn't so hard as you were so unaware of my intentions, at that point I just wanted to use you in achieving my dreams, but then you just have an innocent way of ruining all my plans without even knowing

This made me hate you even more

Even when we came to Ithaca, I kept setting many obstacles for you and you kept overcoming them, and it seems the world was always against me

The day you made it back from your tour trip, I had set up some guys to abduct you and keep you hidden until I get your award, but you stupidly had to walk pass that, you took another vehicle to school when I asked you to wait for me to send a driver to pick you, but you left, ruining my plans

And you still escaped the hit man I sent after you last night, I will not be patient enough to wait for you to escape the third time, now I'll have to kill you in other to be the only Williams heir left

I hate sharing and I never ever want to share my birthright with you,

When you leave this hospital, I have organized some guys to abduct you

And this health state of yours makes it even easier for me, we will make it look like an accident or we will say you committed suicide due to depression and the doctors report will be all am taking home to the family

Everyone will believe the doctor's statement and my family will be united again without you,

I will become dads favorite, after all he has no choice... His beloved Leonard took his own life

This is such a dream come true.

Happy to miss you bro

Am sorry for everything

But I have to do this for me

Saying those final words he kissed Leonard's forehead and took long strides out of the hospital.

The moment he exited, Leonard opened his eyes gently and released the breath he has been holding since the moment he sat on his bed

Everything became dawn on him from the begining of his stay in the William's family, he never knew all the incidents he kept having was orchestrated by Bash

Now he has to be more careful, the most important thing right now will be him leaving the hospital with his life

He gave a sigh of hurt and betrayal as he closed his eyes giving way for the tears to make their way out freely.
