My feets landed on the fuzzy, carpeted floor beneath me on their own accord, slowly elevating my dead weight up in the air. A sudden, disoriented circle spun my head around, as I reached out to grip something around me in urgency.
Slowly breathing in and out, I blinked repeatedly for some seconds to get rid of the blacks specks trying to invade my vision. My head was pounding with a migraine, vibrating the veins behind my neck in an aching motion. Everything was hurting, so so badly. My limbs, head, stomach and most importantly, my heart.
The heavy pressure on my chest was building up with each passing second, reminding me with the bitter truth. I couldn't take the guilt, I just could not comprehend the fact that he was gone. And moreover that it was entirely my fault that it happened.
If only, I had been a little more compliant and wouldn't complain for each and everything that life started throwing at me for the past six months. The rules that Elliott laid out for me were completely absurd and outrageous, but they weren't impossible to follow. He warned me about the consequences. Not once, not twice, not thrice, but multiple times.
The death threats that he would always direct at Levi were never a joke, him and I both knew that. Actually, anyone who atleast has a minimum amount of common sense would understand that Elliott is not the man who jokes or plays around. When he says something, he means it.
I shut my eyes close with immense force, leaning my shoulder against the wall while trying to block out the last thing that he said before ending it all.
Then, why? Why and how could I be such an incompetent little fool to disregard all the threats regarding Levi's life and attempt an escape from him? The whole point of escaping was to run away from my abductor and live with my bestfriend, to start a completely new life with a new identity. Levi isn't here anymore, so what was the point of all those futile plans of mine?
That is right. Nothing. I did absolutely nothing except for endangering Levi's life just for the sake of my stupid so-called 'freedom', which I couldn't even achieve at the end.
And to think that I was dreaming of buying our own apartment already. Elliott was right, attempting an escape from him is nothing but just a silly little fairytale of mine.
Did I really think I can win over him? An extremely influential businessman and underground crime organisation's leader who has an entire world of people waiting for his orders? Infront of him, I am nothing but a powerless orphan with no one to have my back.
He could kill me and throw my body in a ditch now, and no one would even bat an eyelash at our direction. Because they aren't as naive and slow as me. They actually care about their own lives and their loved ones lives, unlike me who selfishly thought of my own happiness first.
