The Death of Me | A mafia story

Chapter 28 - Snow White and Prince Charming

[NOT EDITED]

Cara's POV

Terror welled up inside me and threatened to burst out of my chest. The hardness his eyes held opened up wounds i tried so long to heal.

Fear wrapped around my throat and tightened its hold as his words registered in my ears, they gave a promise that i am more than sure he is going to keep.

But i told Alex that i'll fight.

And that's what i will do.

Not wasting a second, i kicked him hard on his thigh, exactly where he got shot. A groan vibrated from him and his hand dropped down, that gave me a chance to run past him and scurry away, to the bed, to where my bag is, where my gun is.

But he was faster than me, he grabbed my arm harshly from the back and pulled me to him.

"No ! Leave me !" I snapped as i tried to fight, i tried to hit him, kick him, anything but he is much stronger than i am.

"Stop fighting !" He growled before he pushed me back slamming me against the wall. I winced at the contact but still, i tried to fight.

His eyes burned through me, he looked like he lost it all before he grabbed both of my wrists in his hand and pinned my arms above my head.

And at that same moment, i felt a tug on my belly.

My wide eyes dropped down, my heart thrummed against my ribcage as i saw the gun, the gun in his hand, the gun pressed against my stomach.

All the logical thoughts fled away, panic crawled inside my bones as i shook my head, tears glistened my eyes, "No, please no." My voice was so low as i pleaded for my child's life.

It looked like my pleading just angered him more. I gasped as he pressed the gun harder against my skin pushing me back, closing the slight gap separating me from the wall.

"I am sorry love." He said, venom dripping within his words as he pulled back the hammer. Its clicking sound echoed deep in me, stretching, crushing and slowly breaking up my nerves.

"Please no-" I hiccuped a sob, "It's yours.. the baby is yours..please - don't do this."

I had no choice.

"Don't fucking lie to me !" He snapped, his voice rang in the whole room making me involuntary shut my eyes.

Tears streamed down my cold cheek, my eyes still closed as i shook my head, "I am not lying." My voice was so low, like i lost all the energy in me, like a part of me felt he won't listen and he would just kill my baby. His baby.

I opened my eyes to stare into his furious ones, "It's yours." I added.

"STOP LYING !" He gritted his teeth, "You would say anything now to save yourself-"

Dread barreled in. My heart started pounding so hard I could feel it in my ears.

"No no i am not, i am not -" my voice raised, i was beyond scared, "Look at the papers, see how old the baby is, i am two month pregnant Nikolas and I've been there for only few weeks ! What do you think that's supposed to mean !" I just wanted him to believe me.
