The Devil Within (S1)

Chapter 13

Taehyung's heart rate increased as her body collapsed above him as he held her tightly.

"Alessia!" Franz screamed his lungs out running towards Taehyung. He had planned to shoot Taehyung but Alessia shielded him, taking the bullet herself. Atleast her last moments were spent with the one she lived for and the one she wanted to die for. She was smiling when she lost her breath and her soul drifted to heaven.

Taehyung stared at Franz who glared at him before picking up his sister's dead body and running away.

Elenora was staring at the scene, wide eyed.

She quickly ran to Taehyung and checked him, "Are you hurt? Who was she? And who shot you?" She asked.

He sighed, knowing that he will have to explain everything to her.

"I will explain." He sighed, feeling a little guilty for Alessia. All that poor soul wished for was his affection but fate always surprises us in the worst ways, doesn't it?

The room was dark, only a few rays of light peeking from the window. Franz was looking at their childhood album, in which Alessia and his pictures were pasted.

His eyes were bloodshot in rage and grief, it seemed as if nothing surrounded him except his burning of vengeance and misery. He had taken away the life of his own sister, his father was disappointed and refused to even look at him. His father was very attached to his daughter ever since she was born, as she was 3 years younger than Franz and Franz was the same as Taehyung's age.

Guilt consumed him as he clutched the album tightly, he won't let it go that easily unless he ruins Taehyung's life for him his sister gave away her life so willingly.

"Oh-" Elenora nodded after listening to everything about Alessia and Franz from Taehyung, who had a casual look on his face, he was not shocked but surprised that Alessia was so in love with him.

Deep down, Elenora felt a stinging pain in her chest, feeling as if she snatched away the right of hers to live with Taehyung who was in love with him.

Her heart was stubborn and still wanting Jungkook even after the love Taehyung had shown to her.

But the question is, why wasn't Taehyung taking any dreadful step towards Jungkook and Soha?

4 years later....

The flock of birds gushed through the air and the waves crashed on the shore. The silence was blooming with the melodious voices of nature.

He had developed a habit of visiting this place often, now that he had stopped smoking. As for his heart, he had left it somewhere unknown long ago. He deeply inhaled the fresh air.

He was not satisfied, he wasn't happy nor grief struck. His wife was not his, he had convinced her multiple times to attack Jungkook and his family but she always refused, making his doubts arise even more. She had completed her university in computer sciences. Maybe they had built a relationship along the way but both of them knew, it was hollow.

Taehyung slowly sat down on his knees on the beach as he silently gazed at the shore. His mind was busy in numerous thoughts, his feelings numb. So all he did to feel alive was... Kill.

*Bang*

*Another bang*

"Spectacular, Mrs. Kim." Josh complimented with a little smile.

"When will Taehyung return?" She asked while keeping the pistol on one of the stands. Her aura was now dark, and her vibe didn't radiate one ounce of helplessness. It screamed power.
