Tears of Vengeance

The Promise of Vengeance

The day passed by in a fluke.I was inside the room the whole day.My back was hurting from laying on the bed for hours.
"Miss,can I come in?" A lady asked from the outside.
"Yes." I said.
"Miss,master called you downstairs to have your dinner." She said.
"I am not hungry." I said.She nodded and left the room.It's not that I wasn't hungry,I had no apetite.I just wanted to go home.This place was suffocating me.
Also I had to know that why Luke Vernon killed Alex.There is something everyone knows except for me.Another fact which cannot be missed is Luke's behaviour towards me.By the look of everyone else,he seemed like a very dangerous person.He was just a General but he had a lot of secrets going around.
"Lucia." The same gentle voice pulled me away from my thoughts as I looked at the door.
"You didn't eat anything since morning.You denied lunch,I agreed but you have to eat now." He said in a voice just like my father.
"I don't have any apetite." I said.
"Lucia..." He sat beside me and put his hand on my head.
"You can't do this to yourself.You must deal with the loss you faced.You can't be gloomy about it forever." He said like it was nothing.It was definitely nothing to him.He killed Alex and Alex's absence is like a victory to him.How would he even understand my agony?
"It's none of your business." I said.
"You are my business." He said as his hand touched my cheek.
"I am your nobody and don't touch me!" I said as I pulled away his hand.
I saw rage in his eyes.For a moment,I thought I would die but the fire in his eyes disappeared as he tried to control his anger.
"I will send your food here.Eat and go to sleep." He said and left the room.
A maid left the food in my room and I ate it.
"Someone save me from this devil's charms." I said.It was past midnight,I opened the door and came outside.I looked down to the living room.It was pretty dark everywhere except for a light in the living room.
Luke was leaning on the couch with his eyes closed.There was an ashtray on the table in front of him.There was some finished cigarettes on the ashtray.His eye lids moved slightly.As if he was in a nightmare.The first three buttons of his white shirt was undone.I could see his light chest hair.I was standing far away from him but it felt like I could feel the pain he was in.He was so alone in this large place.I wanted to return to my room but I had an urge to go and wake him up from the nightmare he was in.
As much as I detested him,I was not a bad human being.I can't bear seeing people in pain no matter what.
I slowly walked downstairs in front of him.Only one light was shining over his forehead,he was sweating immensely.I touched his palm and he jumped out of his sleep.He was breathing heavily.He rubbed his chest and swallowed the lump in his throat.
"What's bothering you?" I asked.
"It's nothing.Go to sleep." He said.I didn't say anything but on my way to my room,I saw him drank a mouthful of water.
He is so dangerous and notorious.What could possibly scare him this bad?

I headed back to sleep.The expression on his face was bothering me a lot.I don't know why but I felt pity for him.Well,I couldn't let my emotions come in front of me.I will get revenge for Alex,I promise.
