Areson :

I opened my eyes and found myself in the apartment again... It was dark, but I noticed Sebastian sitting on a chair at the corner of the room.

"Let's talk a little, Mr. Kingstone, shall we?" he begins...

I wanted to kill him. I'd ran out of patience... But his men have Kasity.

I laugh.

"You're so afraid of me that you're threatening me every day. Do you think you can win this way?" I answer...

"Let's get straight to the subject." he slowly says, getting up to grab the whiskey bottle.

"Oh wait, let me guess. You're going to kill me if I don't act as instructed" I say and then look away and laugh.

"Areson Kingstone is not afraid of death." the pure truth coming out of his mouth.

"But he is afraid of-"

"Enough!" I cut him off, banging my hand on the table loudly.

"That is it. That's your fear. I can see it through your eyes how scared you are." He continues, still provocative.

"You're not afraid of death, but you are afraid of somebody else's death. It's funny how we know you better than you know your own self." he laughs...

"I spoke with Rivera, everything is ready for the trade. We also spoke with the mafia you told us and Damassiel has the papers ready now please if you could-" I announce and then...

"Shut up" he says, obviously irritated...

"We will not let Damassiel go, unless this job is finished." he continues...

"Then I say No." the words slowly coming out of my mouth...

They call me useless, careless, nobody ought to miss
With the thing they don’t understand
They call me hopeless, heartless, there’s no way out of this
When it’s so far outta your hand
I confess there’s a hole in my chest
From the things that I did
And the gun in my hand
I won’t rest till it’s all done and said
And I get what I give•

He freezes. His look serious. Speechless and surprised. Unexpectedly caught off guard.

"You what?" he asks trying to understand me.

"I refuse to finish the deal. Let me remind you something. Avery Suarez, best secret spy, Nathaniel DeMask, never lost a case throughout all his lawyer career, John Ryans, never loses his target, seems like guns love him and Tristan Deluca, an interrogation expert. What makes you think I'm afraid of you now?" I answer, standing up...

I approached him slowly and confidently.

I’m a pain dealer, I’m a faith healer
I’m a soul stealer, and I’m coming for you
I’m a dream breaker, I’m a truth maker
I’m a cold-blooded killer and I’m coming for you•

"You have no idea what you're causing now." He replies...

"Let me make this clear to you, Perez" I say, obviously irritated. Then I get up and with a quick movement, put my hands around his throat.

"You'll let Ms. Kasity Damassiel go, or I'll start the war properly, as it should have started from the beginning of all this bullshit." I slowly say, emphasising each word so that he could understand what was waiting for him.

"Very good" he answered ironically, when I let go of his throat...

They call me freedom, fallen
Don't you hear me calling
I’m the voice in the back of your head
With a whisper, I’m there, over your shoulder
Don't you wish you never let me in
I confess that the devil’s my kin
I’m a brother to sin, since I don’t know when
I won't rest till it’s all done and said
And I get what I give•

"Damassiel will be brought to you. From now on, you know what happens if you break the rules" he says, while fixing his shirt.

"Get out" I order.

"Careful" he threatens and then leaves...

I’m a pain dealer, I’m a faith healer
I’m a soul stealer, and I’m coming for you
I’m a dream breaker, I’m a truth maker
I’m a cold-blooded killer and I’m coming for you•

At that moment, my phone rang...

"Oh it's you" I answer...

"Hello, bad guy" she says...

"What do you want?" I ask, not wanting to talk to her...

"Calm down sweetheart... Meet me tomorrow morning. Just wanted to say goodbye, our business is over" Rivera continues...

She sounds like a provocative snake I have to say...

"Fine" I reply and hang up.

Late at night...

I'd fallen asleep at the balcony, the whiskey glass hanging from my hand...

'Kasity what you do to me' I think...

A knock on the door...

The door opens slowly and I hear heels...

It was dark and only the balcony's moonlight could illuminate the mysterious silhouette standing in front of me...

•And I'm coming for you•
