Twisted Revenge by A.ZChaudhry

Chapter 28

ALESSIO

The gates opened as I zoomed my car past the gates. Stopping it right in front, I didn't bother to shut off the car or close the door or turn off the ignition, instead I just ran inside. I heard my guards running and knew they could park the car but right now, I needed to see Avelina.

I barged inside the gates to skid to a stop, my eyes wide, my heart tired of it's tiresome running when the scene in front of me made me stop dead in my tracks. My blood stopped flowing for the next few damn minutes, my brain couldn't co-operate as to what was happening and what was this sight in front of me when for the first time in my life, I couldn't put two and two together.

What the fuck was this imagery? How did this happen? Who-what-why......what the actual fuck?

Bodies lay dead on the ground, blood coating the floors and walls as I roughly counted around twenty-five to thirty. Men laid down with their legs and arms in awkward angles, a few still had blood pouring out, either out of their chests or head, flowing smoothly down the walls. There were men with knives decorated deep within their chests, chunks of flesh being visible when trust me, none of this was what made me speechless. None of this was what made my heart stop because this? This was what I had been seeing since childhood, it was a movie for the eye to see daily.

What fucking caught my eye was Avelina standing in the middle, her pants torn from the middle, a shirt stuck inside her pants, her hair open, her chest heaving up and down with heavy breaths that she took. She was sweating, had blood marks all over her body and trust me, even this wasn't what made my heart stop. Where it should have? It didn't.

The thing that actually made my world seize to exist only for me to find my legs pushing my entire body towards her was seeing her standing there with a knife in her hand. Had she fought these men? Avelina? This Avelina? The one I married?

Wasn't she sulking the other day in front of me? Was that all a drama?

I reached in front of her, wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her flush against my chest. She whimpered and looked at me when I went drunk as fuck. I lifted my other hand and removed some hair out of her face. Some type of emotion swivelled behind her fucking beautiful irises but she hid it as fast as she allowed me access to it. Fucking nanoseconds.

I ran my thumb down her cheek wiping away all of the blood when I whispered to her, "Are you okay?"

She narrowed her eyes at me, "You never asked that when you hurt me."

Something stirred within me not because I was angry that she replied back, not because it ticked me off for her growing a smart mouth but because she was right. She was fucking right and threw my own weapon back at me with which I fired her. I rolled my eyes and tightened my fist around her back, "Are you all right?"

She nodded.

"What happened here?"

She ran her hand through her hair, giving them volume which made my eyes follow her every movement. A pang hit my chest knowing that she had such beautiful hair and I had cut exactly that. Even though they had grown a lot, I regretted cutting them brutally.

"Your enemies came here to take me, to use my body like you did, to rape me like you did, to haunt me like you did but the only difference?" She looked right in my eyes, "They were getting paid for it. For my sacrifice, they were getting the money. That was the only difference."

My lips were sealed shut and nothing came out when a sudden commotion at the door caught my attention. Cassio rushed inside breathing heavily and checking that Avelina and I were okay, his eyes scanned the rest of the house.
