Betrayal

Part 21; Explanation part 1

I woke up and looked the small clock. Its 3pm! He's has to be awake. I ran to the bathroom and cleaned up a bit.

I ran outside and into Frances office. "Is he awake?" I asked.

"Good morning Este-."

"Angelina."

"Good morning Angelina. How'd you sleep."

"Amazing!" I said sarcastically. "IS HE AWAKE!"
I yelled.

"Yes. David!" He yelled. A tall skinny blond man ran in.

"Oui?"

"Take this gorgeous woman to Valentino Santo." He said.

I followed him down some halls and reached a more darker hall way. "Here it is." He said with a accent.

"Merci." I smiled and slowly opened the door. My eyes widened seeing Valentino fully naked just with boxers. He turned back to see me and his eyes looked at with no love but sadness.

I haven't seen that look in him before and it hurt me. He was fully tied up and as if he had been whipped. I pulled a chair that was in the corner and sat on it. "Who are you?" He said in a firm voice trying to stay strong.

"I'm- I'm not Angelina Clark." I said in a low voice.

"No Angelina is there. But your a monster. Angelina is the girl I met. why. Why I trusted you." he put his head down.

"No... I'm not Angelina. My real name is Estalla Alexandre De Bousquet Morello" I said.

"Oh I'm an idiot!" He scoffed. "Your working with Frances. No wonder you French." He scoffed.

"I'm not." I said.

"OH JUST SAY RHE TRUTH NOW THAT YOU LIED I'M DEAD ANYWAYS!" He yelled.

"I'm an assassin, I'm not Frances assain I work on my own." I said.

"On your own?" He laughed. "Why do you have Morello as your last name?" He asked.

"I was Elijahs Morello wife." I breathed finally telling someone who isn't Carter my story.

"Elijah, wait how are you Estella and Angelina."

"It's a long story."

"Well I have plenty of time." He said showing me how he was tied up.

"I married Elijah when I turned 18 since he couldn't marry me as a minor. When I married him everything went more downhill. He was always impulsive, aggressive, jealous but never would I have thought he would have laid a hand on me like he did. He beat me so much I would have to stay in bed for days. One time I broke a rib because of him."

"So your the wife he was talking about?"

"Sadly yes. But I'm not lair! Once I escaped I was out into witness protection. Finally the judge said for my own safety and for helping trap a Mafia boss they would give me a new identity. I took the fresh start and moved to New York where I couldn't find a job. But finally found a bartneding job where I murdered my first every men. Then it went on that's when I met my boyfriend-."

"I knew he wasn't normal." He scoffed.

"He got me more jobs to kill more people. After year's of practice I got the best jobs ever. But I've only killed bad people."

"So your going to kill me?" He asked.

"No, Frances knows what he's going to do with you."

"FRANCES IS A MANIPULATOR!" He yelled.

"Or are you?" I frowned.

He breathed in and closed his eyes. "How'd you escape him?" He asked.

Flashback

"IM TIRED OF YOU!" He slapped me in the cheek.
"I'm sorry." I picked up the thrown food knowing this will all be over soon.

"YOU CAN'T EVEN MAKE ONE PLATE OF FOOD RIGHT!" He kicked the side of ribs as I bent down. I fell to the ground and felt like I was sinking into the floor.

"YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" He kicked me again but I didn't feel anything. Everything was black around me.

I closed my eyes and felt his painless kicks over and over again.

I opened my eyes and all the pain came back as he picked me up from my hair and threw me into the wall. "CAN'T YOU ASK A MAID OR CHEF TO MAKE YOUR STUPID FOOD!" I felt free for a minute until I felt the cold gun in my head.

I closed my eyes thinking my life was over.Until load banging was heard at the door. "WHY CAN'T ANYONE DO THEIR JOB HERE?" He yelled at the guards.

"Boss it's the police!"

"And I have nothing they know! Go see what they want." He pushed me.

I walked to the door and got courage. "How can we help you?" I put my hair at my ear showing my bruises.

"We got a call a couple of hours ago and a complaint?"

"WHAT CALL?" He smiled walking to me grabbing my waist harshly. "Why so many police cars Detective?"

"We got a disturbing call."

"Well, everything is okay here."
"Right darling?" He smiled at me

"Yes, detective everything is great!" I smiled. "It must have been a mistake."

"Yeh... Well... One more call and we will be forced to other laws."

"Don't worry officer." He let go of me.

"Have a nice day." I grabbed the door to close and did the domestic abuse sign.

She frowned and opened the door again. She told me to be quite and he didn't notice yet. Cops slowly entered pointed guns at the guards right at him.

"Did you call them?" He looked back at me and quickly pointed his gun at the police.

"We can do this the civilized way. Or take matters worse." The police said.

"What did you do slut?" he pointed the gun at me.
I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I quickly fell to the ground as gun shots flew around me. I covered my head and curled myself up on the floor feeling it shake as everyone ran around. I closed my eyes and heard the gunshots fly around.

Luckily he wasn't as rich to have more than 4 guards here. I slowly fell back to the blackness and imagined myself free. In a day at the beach just me. With the wind in my face and toes in the sand. The feeling as the water hits your skin.

"Let's go." I heard from far away. "Hurry." I came back to life and froze seeing the bodies on the ground. I watched them take him away bleeding in his right arm.
"You've been shot?" She said looking at my arm. I didn't even notice.

"I-I-I-."

"Your in shock honey. Let's go to the station file a report on everything and I promise you we will find a solution."

Flashback ends

"Well I had my chance and a I took it...but that's it. Well of other things like the fact that he killed my whole family." I put my head down.

"So you brought me here...all because you think I killed good people."

"Maybe not good people but certainly someone."

"Then I think you owe me an explanation."

A/N

Things are getting... Well interesting. But why does Estella want an explanation for all of this if well she's going to leave him either way?
