CHARLOTTE'S LOVE DRAMA

Note Briefly : Vera changed her name to Charlotte after this horrendous incident to place at her sister's anniversary. La Varona Hotel 2015 This day was supposed to be the happiest day of my life but sadly it all changed in a blink of an eye. I shut my eyes tightly trying to block out the horrendous incident that happened an hour ago but much to my futile it has only became worst. I open my eyes again letting it fall on the body sprawled out on the floor covered in blood. Tears silently fall from eyes as I take in the adorable feature of my sister that I once loved but all I can see now is her pale lifeless body. Memories of her live being floods mind and I bite onto my lips endlessly to prevent yet another sob. This wasn’t supposed to happen at all not on her fourth anniversary, but it seems the universe has taken a toll causing my life to crumble to the ground. It was precisely 6 pm when the three husky men came to the La Verona hotel. At first they introduce themselves as one of Anthonio’s business acquaintance but later turned out to be hit men. They said they were paid by some business rival to wipe out the entire Bustamante family as well take over their legacy. This was one thing I never dreamt of and that happened in a blink of an eye. ‘Bam! , Bam!, Bam!’, There was an abrupt knocking at the door all of an sudden. My sister Claire turned to me with a look full of surprise. She was thinking the same thing as I was. We both checked off the guest list and all the guest was settled inside so it only piques our curiosity as to who would be at the door now. “Vera go checked the door maybe we mistakenly left out our main guest for tonight’s event”, She implied which I only nod in response and made my way towards the broad mahogany door. On opening the door three husky men cladded in tight fitted Armani’s stood in front me like soldiers. I take my time to take in their features keenly. The one at the right had tattoos that littered at every place on his body except his face and had long dark scars as if he experience fights often. The one in the middle had ruffled brown hair, long straight nose and was fairly attractive but his face devoided of any emotion. The one at the left had piercing at his ears and a metal ring in his lip, him of all persons look mysterious as if he was really up to something but all cares disappear when he said, “We here for Claire’s and Anthonio’s fourth anniversary, we are his business acquaintance” and when I wasn’t full convince he went on to say “ We and Bustamante have been doing business for the past twelve years and so he invited us personally’. I finally gave up my battles of doubt and step aside giving way for the three husky men to enter inside. Claire who was talking to an old couple dismissed herself and walked toward the three men introducing herself immediately. “Hello I am Claire Bustamante It is nice to meet you guys”, She said putting on her signature smile while stretching forward for hand shake. While she shakes the first ones hand, I could feel the impenetrating stare of one of the guys and I immediately cower under his watch. I was not sure what me this scared but that mystery was soon revealed when the third guy reveal the pistol that was hidden in his waist and fire a shot in the air causing the people to squirm in fear. I tried to get away but I was squished against a firm built and the cool metal of the pistol was pressed against my neck. “If you dear move I will kill you”, He growled into my ear causing me to shiver in fear but I manage to ask the question that was long lingering on my mind. ‘Why the hell are you men doing this”, I sputter but he only presses the pistol harder against my neck. “Please” I plead and that is when he said, “We were only doing our job as commanded madam, we ordered by Mr. Romano to wipe out the whole Bustamante family as well as take their legacy, now shut up!”. “So why don’t you kill me!” I said with a bit of bravery. “We were told specifically to kill the first heir of the Bustamante and his wife which does not include you”. “Why is that so, I am the sister of Claire Bustamante; do you not know that much” I said but he remains in silence leaving my question unanswered. “Answer me!” I shouted finding myself annoyed and enraged with the silence that hangs. “Mr. Romano has his eyes on you madam; he wants you”. I was left speechless by his revelation not only was I dumbstruck but confused by what he has just said. This mysterious rival Mr. Romano not only wanted to destroy my family, but he wanted me from himself. What the hell was going on, I cannot seem to fathom anything at all, this situation was so hard to solve just like a puzzle with missing pieces. I was broken from my train of thoughts when I heard a blood curling scream. My eyes all landed on the figure sprawled out on the floor covered in crimson red blood. It was my sister that was shot. I wriggled my way from the guy’s arms but he held me back with his firm grip. I let out a wail as tears kept trickling down my face. Everything in me crumble into pieces and find myself weaken .My sister was gone, gone. I then try to release myself when I hear another gunshot but it was in vein. I close my eyes hoping it is not Anthonio but the groan of a man in pain followed by a blood curling scream was enough evidents that it was indeed him. I sobbed harder than before and allow weakness to take over my body and to my surprise the guy releases me. I take my time to calm down before allowing myself to gather some strength before making my escape. I got up off the floor and attempt run but the pain in my shoulder prevent me from succeeding instead I stumble to the floor with a thud. I groaned in pain as the wound on my shoulder gushed blood and I immediately whimpered when my hair was yanked so hard it lifted me off the ground. “Did I not tell you not to move” He growled, “I will have to…” but before he could say anything the F.B.I walked in armed with weapons. “Put your hands in the air and surrender”, One of the officers commanded. The three men stop and surrender their weapons giving the officers opportunity to arrest them. They then push them out of the hotel and the people started evacuate the room. A police officer walk over to me and said “Madam your losing a lot of blood come with us, you need immediate attention”. I nod before looking at my sister’s pale body and knew I lost everything and the reason why is that I didn’t even get say goodbye and now she was gone. I cleared my throat that was hoarse from the crying before I speak, “Can I have a minute with my sister, I said weakly. “Sure madam”, the officer said. “Take you time to say goodbye”, and with that he walked out leaving me alone with my sister.
