His Angel

Chapter Nineteen

Here's your update!!

Kartik sighed and picked up David, we dragged him to his room, and lied him down on his bed, he was unconscious. Kartik bent down to check his pulse.

I looked at my palms, and immediately regretted the action, flashes of what happened a few minutes ago passed infront of my eyes, what if I have killed him? I felt guilty. Guilt is the emotion that never seems to leave me alone, after every kill, it seems to come back to torture me.

" NAIRA!!" Kartik's deep voice reached my ears, I looked at him.

" Are you alright?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows, he tried to move towards me but I immediately backed away, hurt was evident on his face caused by my small action. I immediately turned around and left the room with tears streaming down my face.

Flashback

I was sitting in the corner of the room, with curtains closed, it was dark. I heard some shuffling outside my room, and then my room's door opened revealing Xavier.

He came inside and closed the door behind him and switched on the lamps.

" Why are you crying?" He said in a confused tone

I know he's acting, he has seen me do it. I looked at him, but the tears blurred my vision, he bent down at my level and tried to wipe my tears, I tried to back away, but he grasped my shoulders tightly.

" Who are you trying to fool?" He said in his scary tone, he was angry

" I'm sorry Xavier, I didn't want to, it just happened, you know I would never...." I was at a loss of words

" You killed my mom Naira, my only mom" He accused me

" She was my mom also, it just happened, I was angry, I didn't know" I tried to form sentences to explain him, but anxiety and guilt was at its peak

" Just think what will happen if Dad gets to know about it, his sweet, innocent daughter killed his wife" He said, each word attacking me like a dagger.

" Please don't tell Dad, I'll do anything, please" I begged him

" Hmm...that sounds like an interesting offer" he looked at me generously, I was so desperate that I failed to see the real him.

" How about you work for me, some mafia works, some simple killings" He said staring in my eyes.

" More killing?" I asked softly

" Don't worry, those people are all bad people, corrupt, you won't kill any innocents" he assured me

" So deal?" He said forwarding his right hand, I forwarded my trembling hand and we shaked hands

" Now you must rest, I need to take care of the mess" he said and switched off the lamps and with a satisfying smirk on his face he went out, which I failed to understand

Flashback Ends

We all make mistakes, some can be mended and some can't, you can only try.

Other Location (Nobody's POV)

" What do you think?" A man said forwarding some papers towards a woman

" What do you want?" She enquired

" Kartik Russo" he said leaning back in his chair

She gave an evil smile, " Your ambition never fails to surprise me" she said and they both gave eachother a knowing smile .

I accidentally wrote 'stepsister' instead of ' adopted' in the last chapter, so please see to it

Thanks!
