Drown In Your Pain (Mafia Novel) (Book 2)

Chapter 20: Real Culprit

"Love can never be obsession"

——

My head felt as if thousands of bricks had been dropped on it, I groaned fluttering my eyes open. I tried to lift my hand to touch my head but instead head as if something was being dragged. I looked down, to see my hands were tied on to a thick chain, I stood up as I looked around realising the room was I was in looked like a prison.

"LET ME OUT." I yelled, banging the chain onto the pipe of the cell. I could hear my own voice echoing back, my head still felt heavily and was stinging. My palms were covered in my own blood, my body felt weak.

"Shh, don't scream." Hearing Katherine's voice I looked towards her. She held an evil smirk on her face as she stood on the other end of the cell. I was beginning to fear for my unborn child, scared what she would do.
"Let me out, Katherine. What are you doing?" I asked her, she shook her head at me as i stared at her in disbelief.

"I can't do that, if you leave then Damien can never be mine. As long as your alive you are like the thorn to our blossoming rose." She spat back at me, before letting out a laugh.
"Katherine, I am your sister. How can you do this to me?" I asked her, as fresh tears welled up in my eyes before they slid down my cheeks. Just staring at this side of my sister frightened me, it scared me what she was capable of doing.

"Let me thing, hmm. I am your older sister, I can treat you however I want. You got everyone's attention, our parents everyone's. But I ignored it, because I had Damien, he looked at me with those dreamy eyes that I had forgotten why I had gotten him to fall in love with me." She had began with placing a finger on her chin thinking before she began to laugh, towards the end she seemed angry and then a smile replaced the frown on her lips.

Her sudden change of emotions made me feel unsettled, she was not mentally stable.

"Why is she chained up, I thought we made a deal that I will take her away from here and you could have Damien." My eyes widened as I heard the voice of the man who had pushed me off the cruise ship, Connor. He was working along with Katherine.
"Your working with her?" I asked him, he snapped his head towards me before shaking his head at me.

"No, she works for me. Who do you think, brought her there at your wedding. She was trapped in side the mental asylum, the man who she received drugs from threw her in there after she failed to provide him with his money. I took her out, provided her with the weapons to kill the warden and the nurses. I would not have needed to do all of this if you would have just agreed to marry me." He spat out, my eyes widening at his words, he had planned this all. Bring my sister to ruin my wedding day, bring Katherine back in our life, he had started it all.

"You both need help." I spat out angrily, Katherine approached me slapping me across the face making my head fly to the side, she cheeks stung from how hard she had slapped me.
"I will end your life." Katherine growled, but Connor stood in front of me as if shielding me.

"Don't forget who brought you here, I can send you back to where you can from in that dusty old asylum." Suddenly gun shot rang, a scream escaped my lips as I covered my mouth with my hand watching as Connor dropped to the floor with a bullet wound on his forehead.

"He spoke a lot, don't you think. I have been meaning to kill him for a while, feels so stress free now that he is gone." She chuckled kicking Connor to the side letting his body lay flat on the ground, I stepped away in fear as she unlocked the cell and walked inside.

"Y-You murdered him." I stuttered pointing at the dead bodies, a smirk came on her face.

"Not my first and certainly not my last, do you know how many women I had to kill in order to get to Damien. Fifteen, fifteen women I had to kill. But it was all worth it, Damien was like a Prince Charming, so perfect. When I got him I thought I no longer had to kill anyone, but four years ago after I had disappeared I was taken in by one of the men I had been fucking, he was abusive he would beat me up and call me crazy. Then one day, Damien's father saw me, he recognised me instantly. I got scared, I thought he was going to run off and tell Damien, so I bribed his men and they killed him." A sobbed escaped my lips hearing her confession, Damien didn't even know that the women he once loved so dearly was the real culprit behind his fathers death.

"How can you be so cruel." I muttered, she smirked at me before pulling her phone out.
"Let's call our Prince Charming shall well, sounds kinky when I say our Prince Charming."  I frowned at her words feeling disgusted, she typed Damien's number and in an instant Damien answered.

"Hello." I wanted to scream out to Damien, but Katherine raised her finger placing it on her lips and shook her head at me.
"Are you finding me." Katherine chuckled into the phone, there was silence on the other end making me wonder if Damien had disconnected.

"Where is Kelsey, Katherine?" I could hear the anger in his voice, a slight hope rose inside of me knowing he knew I was gone and was finding me, but the evil laugh that escaped Katherine's lips making me shiver in fear.
