Tears of Vengeance

You Are Mine

A week passed by.How should I kill Vernon? I thought about this all week.This place was a hell and it was suffocating me.I couldn't stay here for another day.I formed a new habit.Whenever I felt the urge to leave this place or if I felt sad,I punched the wall.It made me feel better.It felt like punching will make my pain less and indeed it was helpful.Except for that one part,my hand was swollen like the size of a tennis ball.If I compared my two hands,it looked really funny.
This was just another day like that.I felt the urge to leave.My heart couldn't take much pressure.I punched in the wall as hard as I could.I pictured the scene of Alex laying in a pool of blood and I wished the wall was Luke Vernon.
Tears ran down my cheek.Why am I so unlucky?
A knock on the door made me stop punching.I wiped my tears and opened the door.
"Miss,your breakfast is ready." A maid said.I nodded and walked down.
Oh,please no!
I hated seeing his face.He pulled a chair and was about to start eating his breakfast.I walked down the stairs and sat on the chair which had the most distance from him.
I chewed onto the tasteless spaghetti.My left hand was hurting a lot.Well,it hurts every time I punch so it doesn't matter.I ignored it.
"Lucia..." He said.I didn't move my head but just looked at him.
"I heard sounds coming from your room.What do you do?" He asked.I was busted.
"Nothing." I replied instantly.The pain in my hand was extreme today.I winced and closed my eyes tightly due to the excruciating pain which grew much intense.
"What happened?" He stood up and walked towards me.
"Nothing." I nodded my head.
"Don't give me that Lucia.What happened?" He asked.
"Lucia?" He asked very softly.His voice was so melancholy and gloomy.He put his hand on my cheek.I held his hand to move it but the pain inside me was unbearable.I dug my nails deeper in his hand, unintentionally.My sharp nails seemed to have quiet an effect on his hand as it had hints of blood but he was silent.He didn't say a single word to me neither his face had any expressions.
He paused for a moment but then grabbed my left hand and I flinched in pain.I bit my lips to control myself.
"God..." He whispered."Come on." He said.I follwed him to his car.We sat in the backseat.
"GreenLeaf Hospital." He instructed the driver.
"Why did you do it?" He asked as he frowned.Now,I could see a bit of tension on his face.I looked at my hand.
"Is it painful?" He asked.I nodded.
"Don't ever do it again." He said.I looked at him and then looked outside the window.
We stopped in front of a large hospital.We went inside.He talked to the receptionist.
"Good Morning,sir.Should I tell Mr.Wright that you are here?" She asked.
"Yes.It is an emergency." He said.
"Yes sir.I will call him." She said,"You can wait there."
"I don't have to wait,goddamn it!" He said angrily.
"My apologies sir." The receptionist got scared.
We waited for a few minutes,"You can go now Mr.Vernon." The woman said.
He got up and held my right hand.We walked into a doctor's chamber,without appointment,yes.
"Good morning Mr.Vernon.What brings you here?" He asked as he greeted Luke.
"She has pain in her hand.Please check her." He said.
"Yes,please sit." The doctor motioned me to sit.
I sat down as he held my hand."Ah!" I winced in pain.Luke held my right hand and placed his other hand behind my back.
After the doctor examined my hand for a couple of minutes,he said,"Her hand needs an x-ray.I will inform them." He said and called someone.
"Mr.Vernon is here." That's all he said.
"Come on." He said as we walked into the x-ray room.There was a x-ray machine.I was told to place my hand under it.They took a couple of shots and said,"Two of her fingers are fractured.Her ring finger and her little finger." He replied immediately.Okay,I always saw that x-ray reports take one or a couple day to give the reports.
"Please come here." The orthopedic motioned me.He applied a splint on two of my fingers.
"You must not work by using his hand.After two weeks,you may open it." He said and I nodded.
"Thank you." I said and got up.The doctor smiled at me and shook hands with Luke,"I wish I could say it was a pleasure seeing you."
Luke held my hand and we walked out of the hospital.
I sat inside the car and rested my head on the window.
"Come here." He said as he pointed to his lap.I rolled my eyes.I ignored him and closed my eyes.
The ride was bumpy.I was hitting my head on the window repeatedly.
Luke pulled me and placed my head on his lap.I pretended to be asleep.He stroke his fingers through my hair.
His fingers felt like the fire burning my heart.I hated him so much.What kind of person is he? Even after he killed my fiancé,why is he being so kind to me?
After we reached home,he carried me in his arms as I rested my head on his chest.I was asleep but I could feel everything around me.
He placed me on my bed and left the room.
I fell asleep soon.

I woke up at around 4 pm.I sat up and decided to take a shower.Oh shit! My hand hurts like hell.
I took a few clothes and filled up the bathtub with warm water.I sat down as my body got in contact with the warm water.I hugged my knees and placed my head above them.
Being in the military was a dream.Especially in the U.S. Military.I am in Russia.The Russians were always cruel to us.
Being in Russia was a disaster.I mean, Luke suggested me to work with the military but I will never betray my country.
I was looking for a chance.I could get closer with Luke and pass information to General John Walker.
I dried my body and wore the fresh clothes.I went downstairs where Luke was sitting.
"Can you help me improve?." I told him.
"Terrorist." He smirked.
"Bitch." I whispered.He knew what I was planning.
"Did I hear something?" He asked.
"At least train me or teach me.You are taking away my entire life's work and struggle.I cannot let that happen." I explained.Well, whatever I said was true.
"Fine,I will train you." I rolled my eyes and placed my legs on the transparent table.
"Show some respect.I am older than you." He said.I stood up and left.I don't give a shit about showing respect to my enemy.He literally called me a terrorist,it was so embarrassing.
I laid on the bed and dialed Alec's number.Alec Dempsey was Alex's younger brother.He was very fond of me.
"Hello Alec.It's Lucia." I said.
"Lucia! I heard what happened to you.Are you okay?" He asked.
"I am safe.How are you?" I asked him.
"Just broken.Never felt this much incomplete." He said with a shaky voice.
"I miss him very much Alec.He is in a better place now." I assured him.
"Did Luke Vernon kill him?" He asked me.
"Ye-how do you know?" I asked.
"I knew it.Only he can be so cruel but Alex said he got that handled." He said.
"Alec,what are you talking about?" I asked confusingly.
"Nothing.Take care of yourself Lucia.If you need me just call me."
"What are you talking about ? Please tell me."
"It's nothing Lucia.We all love you very much.Take care." He said and hung up.
Uggghhh! I buried my hands in my hair.Well,the other hand was painful too.
"Lucia." He called me from behind and I jumped.I realized my door was wide open.
"Yes Mr.Vernon." I said in an ignorant way.
"Luke." He said and sat beside me.
"Luke..." I said.He tucked some hair behind my ear.
"Don't touch me." I whispered.He put his hand away.
"Look at me." He said.
"Forget about Alex Dempsey." He said.
"Don't say another word about him!" I stood up and pointed my finger.
"Well, forget about him soon because you are mine.Only mine." He said very calmly and left my room.
What does he mean by I am only his.He is my bloody enemy!
