His Possession

Chapter Forty-Four:

LUCA'S POINT OF VIEW:

My phone suddenly chirped and Tyler and I both flinched, instinctively reaching for the phone I clicked it on and scanned through my text messages. It was another message from Damon, except it wasn't a text, it was a video message.

Tyler pulled my eyes away from the phone, "What is it?" He asked curiously and leaned forward in the chair. I let out a shaky sigh, feeling myself grow anxious at what this message held.

"It's a video." I said with a small breath, moving around towards the monitor on my desk and plugging in the video feed to watch it on a larger screen. Did I want to watch it on a larger screen? I don't know. But I needed to see what this was.

I saw Damon straighten himself out as the video began playing, Tyler shifting up and standing beside me in my chair. His eyes were fixed on the screen and he had a look of concentration on his features.

"Hello Luca," I heard Damon ooze out, his lips carving into a vicious smirk that I have seen all too many times. "I hope this message finds you well, as you probably know what will happen to your Kitten, if you don't cooperate with me." I felt my body tense and I heard a small whine come from behind him. Emily. I shifted closer to the monitor, trying to get a better look.

Damon turned around quickly, "Shh, shh, Principessa. Your time will come, don't worry, but for now let me finish. It's rude to interrupt people." Damon turned back away from Emily, who I still couldn't see and flashed me yet another smile. "I presume you want to see her alive again, correct? If so, I want fifty million cash delivered to a location of my choosing." My breathing hitched slightly at his words. "No police. No surprises. Nothing. If anything happens during this meeting, I will kill her right in front of you." I heard some shuffling behind him and I small cry, causing my heart to ache. Damon knew gathering up fifty million in such a short amount of time was nearly impossible.

I rested my arms on my desk and pulled my brows down, "You've managed to tarnish my name, destroy my businesses, and prevented me from gaining any clients, which has left me broke; so it's time to pay up." Damon spewed out the same BS that he thought was the truth, when it was truly a distorted reality. I watched as Damon raised his brows and shifted his shoulders up in a small shrug.

"I want you to watch your Kitten scream, watch her scream for me." I watched as the camera shook slightly and Damon stepped aside as he pulled out a long K-bar from his pocket, revealing Emily strapped to a metal table, in only her underwear. I gritted my teeth and gripped onto my desk, wanting to flip it and lash out.

Emily's soft features were pulled into a frightful look, and her eyes were wet with tears. She tried to fight against her bonds, but it didn't do anything. The table only shook lightly, but she couldn't escape or do much else. She opened her mouth to try and scream, but her cries were stopped by a thick rope tied around her head, digging into the sides of her mouth and leaving her porcelain skin red and angry.

I felt the urge to scream and yell, but managed to suppress it. Tyler flinched beside me and I craned my head slightly to look at him. His brows were pulled down and his lips were carved into a vicious snarl. I had never seen Tyler this angry before, I knew this was serious.

Damon turned towards Emily, "Don't worry Principessa, this will only hurt..." He trailed off in a condescending way, "a lot." Emily let out a shrill scream and thrashed about on the table, making me cringe and look away for a brief moment.

Her eyes were wide with fear and her thick brows were pulled up in shock and confusion. Damon's back were facing me, but I knew was smiling. He always did when he tortured people like this. He suddenly cocked his body to the side, allowing me to watch this scene play out. His knife pointed towards Emily's bottom foot and he suddenly dug the knife into it. I growled and gritted my teeth in anger, watching her body twist and tears spill from her eyes.
