CRUEL INTENTIONS

Chapter 25

Aziel smirked when he saw Lucius heading inside the building. He knew Lucius was coming for him. "Now things will get interesting" He said standing up and glancing at Carvida who was slowly gaining consciousness. He smirked and sent Lucius a message :

Come on the third floor. In first room.

Once the message was sent. He waited tapping his foot impatiently and after some time... Lucius indeed came barging in the room looking around frantically. His eyes widened when he saw Carvida on the bed struggling against the rope tied around her wrists and legs. Her voice muffled with the tape placed on her mouth. Aziel smirked even more satisfied with the look on Lucius'face.

"Surprise" Aziel said making Lucius snap out of his shock. His piercing blue eyes rounding up on him and darkening.

"What did you do to her?" Lucius asked with hatred while glancing at Carvida who looked right back at Lucius with fear. Fear for Lucius.

"Oh nothing much" Aziel replied nonchalantly.

"Stop with the bullshit. Your men let me in without even fighting back. You did something. What is it?" Lucius asked pointedly.

"Ah you were always cunning my dear Lucius" Aziel replied with a fake bow.

"Tell. Me. What. You. Did. To. Her" Lucius said putting emphasis on each words.

"Sign this" Aziel simply replied placing his finger on a contract in front of him.

Lucius advanced slowly, his eyes glancing back at Carvida occasionally. He then grabbed the paper and Aziel watched as Lucius clenched his jaw and slammed the paper on the table.

"Sell myself to you? Right. Good joke. I'm never doing that " Lucius said with a scoff.

Aziel shook his head in disapproval. "Tsk Tsk... Lucius... That's what you don't understand. You are in no position to decide" He said looking at Lucius with power and dominance. Aziel had thought about everything thoroughly. There was no way he would not get his revenge. Love brought a vulnerability in humans. One he would use to make Lucius pay.

"Why? You are going to use her to blackmail me?" Lucius asked, his voice laced with fury and hatred.

"You see... While your girl was unconcious.. I injected her with a poison and if you don't sign the contract and sell yourself to me. I won't give her the cure and she will die in approximately eight minutes now. Especially with all the blood she lost, she won't last longer" Aziel replied calmly loving how Lucius'eyes widened and all the colours drained from his face. That's exactly what he wanted.

He wanted to watch Lucius'world crumble apart. Both actually. They both would definitely suffer from this. Lucius would become a slave... While Carvida would live in guilt knowing Lucius was now at his mercy because of her. It was like killing two birds with one stone. But killing them slowly and torturously.

"I don't believe you. It's a lie " Lucius stated making him chuckle.

"It's far from a lie. Go to her and hold her hand you will see, her body must already be turning cold right now" Aziel replied with a sadistic smile.

He watched as Lucius indeed walked to Carvida who was shaking her head at him. His heart filled with immense satisfaction as he watched Lucius exhale heavily looking tormented now that he held Carvida's hand. The poison was certainly already spreading in her body right now. It was only a matter of time before she died.

"Give me the cure... I'll sign it" Lucius said looking at Aziel with loathing. Carvida's muffled protests were instantly heard but none of them cared. One was determined to save his love. The other determined to get his revenge.

He lost his nephew.. His last family. Lucius deserved to suffer for the rest of his life for killing his blood. Aziel could definitely not believe it but Lucius'words had confirmed what he wanted to deny. His nephew was indeed dead and he had a doubt it was done in a cruel inhuman way. He closed his eyes with the thought of it and exhaled heavily before opening them again.

"Good. Sign it and I'll cure her. Quick there's only three minutes left" Aziel stated pointing at the contract after looking at the clock.

Lucius stared at Carvida once again before quickly heading back towards Aziel. He then signed the paper without hesitation and looked at him with immeasurable amount of hatred.

Smirking, Aziel pulled out a small embossed cruet bottle from his pocket. He then headed towards Carvida, removed the tape on her mouth and made her drink the cure. "You should know Lucius that I don't just love with a passion. I hate with a passion as well" Aziel stated once Carvida had drank the cure completely coughing in the process.

He heard Lucius scoff in reply. "If you hate with a passion then remember I'm also a criminal and more powerful than you" Lucius spat coming closer to Carvida.

Aziel simply hummed in reply content that his plan worked. He then turned away from Carvida and sat comfortably on his chair watching the two with a satisfied smirk. "Bid her goodbye now. You are my slave" He said making Lucius clench his jaw.

"Lucius.. Why... Why did you do that?" Carvida stuttered seemingly still feeling the effects of the poison.

"I'd follow you to the ends of the earth to protect you from danger, and I'd give my life to save yours. I love you more than life itself little flower" Lucius whispered caressing her cheek lovingly.

Carvida immediately hugged Lucius tightly wrapping her weak arms around him. "I.. I l-love you too" She said drowsily.

Lucius smiled and lifted her up. "I'll take her to the hospital then I'll return here" Lucius said with a stoic expression. His blue eyes filled with pain.. anger.. sadness.. hatred and guilt as he stared at Aziel. All the emotions Aziel felt when he realised he lost his nephew.

"Very well. Enjoy your last moments together" Aziel replied with a smirk, watching as the two left the room. Lucius would not be able to escape him anyway. The contract clearly stated that he was not allowed to leave, go against Aziel or escape. He was bound to him and had to obey his every order or he would die... Ah! Look how wicked fate is. The most powerful CEO in the city was now Aziel's personal slave....
