Collided worlds

Chapter 28

Game of thrones. Of course. I should have known that Jason was always about power. The way he always acted, his reaction when i told him i wanted to leave all those years ago. But, well fucking played, right? No one could have doubted him. He said this game would end with one of our deaths. Only god knows what he had planned.

"What the fuck do you expect us to do now, Jason?" I questioned, my fists clenching at his smirk, "I want to see my fucking parents. If you don't take me to them right now, i will kill you."

"You won't kill me." He said, "If you do, you'll never see them again."

"Take us to them." Asher spoke, his arms crossed. "Right fucking now. Then we will consider playing your sick game."

"It doesn't work like that." He went to sit back on his chair. "Play the first game and you get to see them."

Asher clenched his jaw. "What is the first game?"

"Go back out there and kill...." He replied, thinking as if he has forgotten the person he wants dead's name. Groaning, he took out a phone and called someone, proving my assumption to be correct. "Who do you want dead again?" He asked, looking at the ceiling, "Ah...okay." Putting the phone on the table, he grinned, "Some guy named "Alonzo. Alonzo Venerdi."

"Alonzo fucking who?" Asher let out an exhausting chuckle before clenching his jaw again, "Do you have any idea who the fuck that is?"

I looked at him in confusion, obviously not knowing who that is. Judging by the phone call Jason made, whoever this Alonzo was was not a threat to him but to his partner. They were eliminating their opponents and my brother was one of Jason's biggest opponent in this sick game of his. The possibility of him asking me to eliminate my brother made me see red. I wouldn't kill my brother for the lives of my parents. But Jason, i would. I would torture him to death but i knew he wouldn't break. He has been trained for this. We all have. And he doesn't have a loved one either. He had been planning this for years. He wouldn't keep a loved one around for us to use against him. That's why he never dated, never married, never bonded with anyone. He was a traitor since day one.

"Who is he?" I nudged Asher, earning a sigh from him as he answered with his jaw clenched. "The Italian don." He glared at Jason, "This would mean war."

Jason shrugged, "I don't understand this but it is not my wish to kill whoever Alonzo is. It is your nemesis's and since he is my partner, both our words' are law."

"You're in my fucking city." Asher growled, "I own New York. I rule this place. Not some pathetic wannabe king."

Asher's words seemed to have an effect on Jason. He stood up and launched at Asher but before he could, i don't know what came over me when i removed my knife and placed it in front of his neck, daring him to take another step forward. "Touch him and i will slit your throat."

"You're not going to do that, little girl." He chuckled, "You know better. You want mommy and daddy back safe, do you not?"

"Fuck you, Jason." I hissed, pushing the dagger closer to his neck, drawing blood. "The only reason you are alive right now is because you hold our parents captive. Trust me, the second we find them, i will kill you."

"The laptop on my desk has a video of your parents, live." Jason spoke, pointing to the laptop sitting on his desk, "There are surveillance cameras everywhere in their holding cell."

No shit.

Releasing him, Asher and i rushed to the desk, his fists clenched themselves upon seeing the video. Our parents locked together in a dark cell. They were sitting apart from each other. Our mothers were crying while our fathers held them, both keeping a stoic face on, avoiding to show any emotions as if they knew they were being observed.

"After i kill Alonzo," Asher started, his jaws clenched, "You'll let them go?"

"Your parents will be free to go." Jason nodded before looking at me, "Hers, however...."

"Son of a bitch." Asher muttered, "What must she do for her parents to be released?"

"Convince them to give me the King title and bow in front of me along with everyone else. Her included."

I glared at him, "I'd rather die before bowing for a traitor." I meant every word.

"Careful what you wish for." Jason smirked as Asher grabbed my hand before saying, "Alonzo will be dead by tonight. Make sure my parents are home, safe. One bruise on their fucking body and i swear to fucking god i will kill you."

"Garrett and Cherry promised your parents' release after you deliver Alonzo's head." Jason sighed, smacking himself in the head repeatedly after giving away the names of the people who has an enmity with Asher.

"Garrett and Cherry?", Asher repeated the names, his hand tightening around mine. "The Russian kid and the gold digger of a wife are the ones who kidnapped my parents?"

"Yes. He was a kid, looked around 17." Jason rolled his eyes, "The wife was demanding as fuck. I hated her the second she opened her mouth." He sighed before continuing, "You, Katherine, will come with me while Asher kills Alonzo. Your partnership," He referred to me working with Asher, "Ends here. Say goodbye to each other-"he looked at Asher, "And i will deliver your parents at your doorstep once my men confirms that you have completed your task."

There it was. The moment we parted ways. I knew i had to part ways with Asher but i always thought it would be on my own accord, my own decision, my own time. Not because someone decided that it was the end for us. The end of a story that didn't even begin.

"Fuck no." Asher groaned, walking towards Jason angrily, "You will not take her away from me. Garett and Cherry are the Russian mafia and they do not stand a fucking chance against me. They wouldn't stand one chance against me if it wasn't for your part- for your help in kidnapping my parents." He grabbed Jason's collar, smashing him against the wall, "You have become my enemy as well, Jason. All you can do now is praying to god that i go easy on you."

"Get your filthy hands off me." Jason snarled, trying to push Asher off but he wasn't budging. "Get off or my men will get you off." He gestured to his man but before they could make a step forward, i slit both of their throats, making Jason's eyes widened in fear as both his men fell on the floor, choking on their blood.

The other two men went to stand outside on Jason's order earlier. I couldn't tell just how stupid he was when he gave that order. He was already outnumbered and he sent his backup outside, to keep an eye on the door.

I smiled, seeing as we had the upper hand. For now, at least.
