He's My Killer

Chapter Twenty-One

CARTER

I looked over and she was sleep against the window. It took her a while but she finally went to sleep about two hours into the flight. I knew she was hesitant cause she thought I would do something to her while she was sleep but that was not the case.

She thought I knew little about her but in truth, I know everything about her.

I knew that she was smart enough to not go back to Washington because she knew I would catch her if she did. But she was smart.

I knew this plane was going to California because her parents live in San Francisco and that was some sort of safe haven for her. I knew she had a brother named Troy but I did not know where he resided in the states. All I know is that he makes his living off of street racing, wherever that will be.

There are many places of street racing but with the technology, I could narrow everything down.

My plans for Tiana is unknown but I only took her because she was getting to close. She was digging and babe did not know how to mind her business.

She might think of me as some cold heart killer but I have my reasons for killing. If she only knew, she would be thinking of me as something else.

I don't want to kill Tiana but I will if I have to. She can blame herself for being here. Should have been minding her business.

I'm here on this plane because I couldn't let her get away. Even if she told the cops back in Italy on what I do, they wouldn't believe her. Why? Because their under my payroll and if any one of them were to go behind me then they would be suffering an unmemorable death. No good byes to the wife or kids if they had them.

I was raised by a father who wanted nothing but me to take his place in this business and when he retired and moved off to Denver, Colorado with my mother, everything belonged to me.

I took the business serious and nothing could get in the way of that. I had houses all over in the states for business purposes only. Ever since the business was handed to me, I started out with plans of expansion. That's how I have billions now and I don't regret any of my murderous actions.

I turned my attention back to Tiana who was still sleeping. This girl.... was a challenge.

Despite what I've done to her, she continues to fight. She's a strong girl and I can admit that is something I admire about her.

When I punched her, she was still strong. I didn't take pleasure in that at all. I felt guilty about that but it's been that way for years. Before I, myself was even born. It happened to everyone who's entered the estate. It even happened to me and I could have changed it but it would have came off as me being weak. I couldn't do that. Despite how it twisted at me for even laying a hand on her.

I may have used my hands to torture people, man and woman but when I did that to her, I felt something unexplainable in my chest.

I sighed and looked away from her. I sat back and let the hours of this flight take over.

19 HOURS 30 Minutes 

TIANA

The flight had finally came to an end and I was walking ahead of Carter towards the exit of the airport.

I was trying to think on where to go. I could go right and straight into the crowd to lose him or go left and go straight to the cop that paved around the airport.

I turned left and not even to take a step, a rough hand grabbed my arm in a firm hold.

"Not a smart move, babe."

I pulled out his grip and glared at him. He had that familiar smirk and it only pissed me off.

"What do you want from me?" I asked him irritatedly.

Honestly, how can I get away from this man? I could just cause a seen for the cop to instantly come over but I knew it would not end well from me.

"A kiss." And with that he stole a quick peck from my lips.

I pushed him away and heard his dark chuckle fill my ears. "Bastard." I mumbled and began walking.

"So, these parents of yours, are they friendly?" I heard him ask and I stopped in my tracks. I turned to face him and he was smirking. I wondered did he ever get tired of smirking.

"How do you—"

"I know more about you than you think, baby." He answered my unfinished question.

I just stood there watching him. I realized that this could be hard to escape him. I don't know how much he knew on me but I had to take caution. No wonder he knew what plane I was on.

"Anyway, we're not going there right away." He said while walking up to me and placing his hand on my lower back.

As he lead us out the airport my mind was over thinking. "You know where they live?" I asked.

Why ask him that if he knew everything about me. Think Tiana.

Carter looked down at me. "Did you not hear what I said earlier?"

"Never mind. Just tell me what to do to get away from you."

A low chuckle came from him. "That's not happening any time soon, Tiana."

I sighed as he got us a rental and pulled me towards the driver seat. I looked at him clueless before realizing what he wanted me to do. I couldn't help a smirk to form on my lips.

"Think I'll run?"

A serious look on his face now appeared. "Not taking any chances. Be smart."

I sighed through my nose and climbed over the console and sat in the passenger seat. Just as he started to get in, I placed my hand on the door handle and pushed it open.

I went to step out and his grabbed my thigh instantly. I looked over and his gun was in his hand and he had a mean stare that sent chills down my body.

"You want me to put you in a hospital, Tiana? I'll gladly do that and it might teach your hard headed ass to listen to me. Close the fvcking door." His words coming out with much anger.

I did what he said and closed the door without hesitation. The car ride was silent and I looked out the corner of my eye and he still looked pissed.

I shook my head and looked out the window. This man was an ass and he would be calm one minute and mad the other. Made me wonder if he was bipolar.

FIFTY MINUTES LATER

He pulled up to this nice house and cut the car off. "Come on." He said while getting out the car and I followed him.

"Who's house is this?" I queried.

He was quiet for a moment as he stopped on the doorstep and knocked hard. "Mine." Was all he said just as the door open.

A woman with dark brown hair and tanned pale skin revealed herself. I watched as a smile appeared on her face and her hands brushed up his chest. Before I knew it, she stood on her toes and kissed him.

My brows furrowed together as I watched him return the favor. His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

Nasty bastard!

After a moment into their little session, he pulled back and grabbed my hand, pulling me to view.

"This is Tiana. Get her a room and a change of clothes for me, Maria."

She smiled at him but when she looked at me, she glared.

"Alright, Carter. This way, Tiana."

What the fvck type sh*t am I in?!
