Unexpected Love

Chapter seven

Chapter seven

Everyone wore black, the day was full of emotions and tears, I held a white rose in my hand, standing in front of my sister's coffin, wondering what she is doing right now. "Lorenzo, would you like to say a few words?" the priest asked me and I nodded. I looked at everyone around me, my sister's and parents were crying holding each other.

"Ever since we were small Jasmine would always follow my sister's around doing all their little business idea's together, they called themselves the three musketeers. I on the other hand was always the outcast stealing their business clients and sometimes idea's, but Jasmine she always came to me after we would have a big fight and she would slide a note under my door saying 'If I pay you 50% more for your cookies can I come inside your room?' always being the one wanting to come close to someone to make them smile, we got close over the years, she showed me how to love and care for other people, she gave us all hope for tomorrow." I looked down at her coffin again and started to feel tears in my eyes. "she never complained about anything, she was a smart beautiful lady and a very good mother to her daughter, she will be missed." I wiped my tears off my face, I bent down and kissed Jasmine's coffin. After a few minutes they lowered her into the grave, I felt a piece of my soul go with her, the reality sank in that my sister will never come back, she's truly gone.

After the grave was filled everyone started to make their way to their cars, my mother and sisters stood by me looking down at the grave. "I can't feel that connection anymore." Roxanne said while taking ahold of my arm. "I miss her already, the late-night phone calls, talking about what was going on in my life." Bethany said while holding my hand. "We all miss her, we are not the 4 Martino's anymore." I looked at my mother and she wiped her nose off. "She's watching over us all, keeping a hand over us and Leandra." My mother said while making her way to hug us.

We bid our goodbyes after the little get together by my sister's house. I made my way to my new home I bought down the street from my sister's, I opened the front door and heard a baby voice that belongs to Leandra, I made my way to the living room and saw she's lying on the floor playing with toys while Maria was busy with Leah. "Welcome home sir, they were good today." I smiled at Maria thanking her. "Maria, I have an appointment to go to and when I come back you can have the rest of the night off." She nodded at me and went on playing with Leah.

I got in my car and drove in the direction of an old warehouse where Harley locked Alex up. When I pulled up I saw Harley waiting for me outside, I got out my car and made my way to her. "Are you ready?" she asked me with a smile on her face, she was in love with the idea that we were going to starve Alex out and then kill him slowly. I opened the door and saw Alex sitting on a steel chair, he smelled like urine and vomit. "Well what do we have here? How does it feel being here in this warehouse where you killed Richard?" he looked up at me and started to laugh. "You really think it will make me feel bad for what I did." He spat at me, I took off my suit jacket and opened my black leather bag, I took out a knife. "You see I am going to make you enjoy this Alex, after I am done with you, you are going to thank me." I cut open his pants, I then used my knife to cup a piece of skin of his leg, he was screaming from the pain. "Are you ready for what I am about to do now?" he looked at me with a straight face, I stood between his legs, Harley stood behind him and took a hold of his head so that he won't turn away, I opened his mouth and shoved his skin in his mouth and pushed it closed so that he needs to swallow it. "Cover his nose so that he can swallow it." Harley nodded and closed his nose, after a few seconds I saw him swallowing his skin, we let go of him and he vomited on himself. "Was it that bad?" I started to pull my face at him. I went to my bag and took out a cigar clipper. "Now this one I love the most, you know why? Because it cuts a cigar so beautiful, but fingers even more beautiful." He started to look at me and then at the clipper. "I will do anything you want me to do." He begged me. "Here you beg me just after you ate your own skin, but when I begged you to let them go what did you do? O that's right you killed them." I walked closer to him and started to clip his fingers off, I saw liquid running down the chair, making me know that he just urinated on himself yet again, I took the fingers and sat them next to my leather bag, I rolled up my sleeves. "Now I am going to beat you up again and again till you won't be able to see through your eyes." I did what I told him, punch after punch I got angrier at him for taking away the people I loved. I took a step back and saw him trying to open his eyes but he couldn't. "How does it feel to be hopeless? How does it feel when someone is slowly taking away your life?" I turned around and picked up his fingers. "Harley open his mouth wide, as wide as you can." She stepped closer and did what I asked of her, she doesn't say a word because she knows why I am doing this. "Don't forget to swallow Alex." I started shoving his fingers in his mouth, he tried swallowing but I pushed them so deep down his throat that he is starting to suffocate because Harley closed his nose as well. I took a knife and stabbed him as much times as I possibly could. I looked at him and I didn't feel satisfied enough, I took a big knife out my bag and walked to him starting to cut his head off, after his head was in my hands I threw it on the ground and kicked it. "Now I am done." Harley came to me and gave me a hug, she didn't say anything because she know what is going through my mind right now, heartbroken and loneliness. "Let's get you cleaned up." She pulled back and made me follow her to her car, after we were done I bid my goodbyes and made my way home, after I took a shower I told Maria she can go home, Leandra and Leah were sound asleep I looked at them and thought to myself I never imagined being a father to two beautiful girls, this was truly an unexpected love.
