House of Pleasures

Chapter 23

***

-Hello,- Alex greeted Lilian in the morning,- hot bath?

-Yeah, please.

-How are you?

-Not so good... I can't feel my legs...- she whispered,- and i can't really talk...

Alex kissed her, got up and put on boxers and jeans.

-I will make you a bath, don't go anywhere!

He left to bathroom.

-Ha, ha. That's hilarious.

Lilian closed her eyes for a second, when she heard a noise. She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a knife.

Very sharp knife, indeed.

-What the heck?- she whispered.

-I bet you had no idea...

-Lexy?

-That's me. Are you ready to die?

-No, not really.

Lilian knew that if she tried to scream, it wouldn't work, if she would try to move, her limbs would let her down. She took a moment to appreciate that Lexy had locked the bathroom doors, knowing that there is no one to save her.

-Tell me, do you want to suffer as much as i did?

-No thank you, i can never suffer as much as you did.

-Wow, you are trying to be strong in front of me, but i must tell you one thing... I lost my heart a long time ago, so, when i tell you to scream, that's what you do!

Lexy grabbed Lilians arm, sinking knife in her skin, cutting her, not too deep, just to make sure she bleeds.

-Does it hurt?- she asked, almost grining.

-Fuck you!- Lilian whispered.

-I like your attitude.

-He will never love you,- Lilian told her.

-Oh, honey, i am not here for love. I just want to see you dead.

-Why?

-You had all.

-So did you...

-Yeah, i did. I did have a job, it didn't matter what i had to do, and i liked it. But explosion made everything worse.

-Are you blaming me for that?

-It destroyed my life and who i was.

-It didn't. You did.

-What?

Lexy smacked Lilians cheek.

-As i told you before, i just want you dead.

-I didn't think you would go that far... Why?- Lilian spoke quietly, seing Alex moving closer with a tea spoon in his hand.

She had to contain herself, not to be surprised how he got out.

-The "head" was mine.

-Yeah, he was...- for that Lilian got another hit, this time a punch right in her stomach.

-Shut the fuck up, you little cunt! You don't deserve him!

-Do you? You don't even know his name!

-So? That doesn't mean anything! I was his, first!

-Not anymore,- Alex shouted, snatching the knife out of Lexys hands, throwing it away. He pushed her up from the bed, moving the tea spoon to her neck.

-What are you going to do? Make a tea?

-Watch me!

Alex moved fast with his metal arm, bending the spoon, putting it around Lexys hands, almost like a hand-cuffs.

He managed to put her to sleep with fast movement, then running to Lilian.

-You are bleeding!

-I am fine. Now that you are here, im safe...- Lilian whispered.

-I love you,- Alex kissed her.- you need to get to hospital.

-Im ok, it just needs a bit of cleaning and it will be fine...

-You sure?

-Yeah, get her dumb ass out of here, please.

-Ok.

Before Alex stood up, he kissed Lilian one more time, grabbed Lexy, and went to the elevator, shouting.

-Just don't go anywhere! I'll be back soon!
