Bia
"I leave you no other choice? Me, I leave you no other choice? Have you lost your mind? It's actually a fucking rhetorical question - of course you are, otherwise you wouldn't have done all the horrible things you did!
"Bia, listen ..."
"No no! Now you are going to listen! Let's get a few things straight. Someone told you that my father was involved in your mother's death and you ran to get revenge on him. And decided to ... how did you say it ... to ruin him and ruin his daughter!"
"Bia..."
"Shut up! I said you're gonna listen now!"
"If you try to escape I will strangle you with my own hands and I will do it very slowly."
"Those words are still echoing my head! Do you know what it feels like to know you're gonna die? Huh? You... Would you really do that? Were you really going to kill me? - Alexander was staring at the ground, not having the courage to look at me.
"Answer me, dammit! - I screamed, not being able to control myself."
"YES!" He grabbed one of the glass ashtrays and smashed it with all his might against the opposite wall. "Are you happy now? Did I satisfy your fucking ego?" There was rage in his voice, and his eyes radiated anger, like hell.
"I would kill anyone who did what they did to mom. Any fucking one! Do you hear me? I loved her the most in this world! Her and my brother! And someone took her away from me ... we found her in the apartment, killed like a dog ..." His voice broke in the last sentence. I could see tears in his eyes. Until now, my heart felt steely, but after his words, something changed. I felt his pain. I imagined what it would be like if I found my mother dead. I imagined him and his brother as little kids, finding her lifeless body. This is the worst thing that can happen to a child.
"Ice, I understand your pain, but... for God's sake! You can't just dole out justice. What if you had actually gone so far as to kill me, and you had received the last message a few minutes later, realizing that your mother's death wasn't mine or my dad's fault? How would you live with the thought that you killed an innocent person?" My tone was still serious, but much softer.
"Bia, I apologized to you way too many times! And I never apologize! We have already clarified all this and yes, you are right - I have to think before I act. But this is all over now, it's gone, and I'm going to fix it with or without your help. If you follow the plan voluntarily, everything will be much easier. Of course you won't because you like things being complicated and fun, right?"
"Why do we have to pretend to be a couple? I don't understand. Where did that come from?" he sighed as if he was already giving in to my stubbornness.
"Listen, I can release you and let you go home if that's what you want. But I want you to think twice before you decide, okay? Think about everything very carefully is all I'm asking. You witnessed what happened outside the hotel and at the airport. If you go back to London, this won't stop! They will find you and..." he paused, taking a deep breath before continuing, "I know I kidnapped you and said a lot of scary things, but I never intended to actually kill you. I just wanted you to fear for your life, that's all. Everything I said earlier was out of my anger and because I was literally on the edge. But, it seems your father has some serious enemies who are after you."
