Delilah's reign

chapter 15

ALONZO'S POV

I woke up the next morning, her rosy sent making the atmosphere a lot better, in couldn't help but watch as she slept so peacefully in my arms, her lips puckered as if begging me to lay tender kisses on them

why do I fell this strong urge to have her by my side, to have her for myself? feelings so odd to me I had little words to explain , how she has this effect on me I do not know

I stayed there studying the features of her face for the hundredth time

"could I be falling for the Velasco girl?"

DELILAH'S POV

by morning i'm groaning as the sun meets my eyes. Rolling onto my side. I wrap my hand on what should be Alonzo, only to be greeted by cold sheets

I got up heading into my bathroom, turning on the shower as I finished brushing my teeth and walked in, as I squeezed the shampoo bottle I made a mental note to get another seeing that this one was almost

before I moved here I used to enjoy playing songs from my phone as I took my bath singing along and pretending to be on stage, using my shampoo bottle as a microphone... I know embarrassing, but have you not done it too?

after showering I walked out of the bathroom looking to see if Alonzo had returned, events of last night playing in my head

a little while later a knock sounded on my door

for some crazy reason I wanted it to be Alonzo, normally I would be scared to death of opening the door. I quickly threw on a tank top and some shorts, putting on my trusty flip flops, its been awhile since I dressed like this

I headed for the door lonely for the knock to sound again

I opened the door a small smile on my face as I looked up, only for it to disappear when I saw who it was

"Hello cousin dearest" Ethan said pointing a gun at me, I wasn't sure what he was doing but I knew he was up to no good, I mean the guy has a freaking gun to my head

"Ethan-" I said only to be cut off by him

"shuu shuu shuu, let me do the talking" he sounded drunk, hell he smelled like he had a party in the trash, his golden brown hair a big mess on his head as his suit had wrinkles on it, he must have been wearing these clothes for days

"okay" I said putting my hands in the air as he started

"you... you Delilah you fucked everything up for me, two years, two fucking years I spent planning how I would take over the cartel after my father killed your mother making sure your father would never get another child, especially not a male and you had to come along and spoil it all like the f*king bi*ch you are" he said hatred evident in every word he said

"what do you mean?, you knew the cartel would be mine to lead, and my father could have just gotten another wife " I said a little confused wondering where Alonzo was as tears effortless slide down my cheeks

"that would have never happened, your dumb father was too in love, he would have never married another wife, he wouldn't will the cartel over to me so I waited, I waited for you to get introduced to Alonzo thinking you would never agree to marry him, but you did, so went I back to him and tried forcing him to sign the fucking papers but he wouldn't"

tears began to run down my cheeks as I listened to my own cousin spill those words like it meant nothing

"so you killed him?" I asked blinking away the tears that blurred my vision

"No, but I wish I did, that insane lunatic needed someone to put him out of his misery anyways"

he lead me downstairs into the living room as he trailed behind, I could feel the barrel of his gun on my head

"Alonzo!" he yelled still holding his gun to my head

"now where's the Spanish bastard?" he asked before yelling Alonzo's name again

soon after we could hear Alonzo walking down the stairs, as Ethan looked up the stairs I tried hitting him but he caught my hand expertly placing the gun on the side of my head and one arm around my neck to keep me in place

"try that again and the last thing you will hear is me pulling this trigger" he said his breath wreaking of alcohol

I looked upstairs not giving him an answer as Alonzo came in view, the instant he saw us he pulled out a gun only to be stopped by Ethan's warning

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" he said pressing the gun further into my head causing Alonzo's eyes to move between me and the gun as he had his own gun pointed at Ethan

"drop it" Ethan said nodding as Alonzo's fingers tighten around the gun

"drop it!" Ethan said louder than before

this time Alonzo threw his gun to the floor, there were four guards with us but none dared to shoot

"them too" Ethan said nodding at the guards who still had their guns pointed at him, Alonzo gave them a signal and they all dropped their guns except one who was being kinda stubborn at the wrong time

"drop the damn gun" Alonzo yelled his hands still in the air as the guard dropped his gun

"what do you want Ethan" Alonzo asked dropping his hands to his side "because old friend, no one would dare pull this stunt on me without sensible reason" Alonzo added taking a step close

"I want what belongs to me" Ethan stated, shifting his weight from one feet to the other... he was getting tired

"And what might that be?" Alonzo asked one brow raised

"The Velasco cartel" Ethan stated as if it was noting, for the next three seconds nobody said anything, the silence was only cut short by Alonzo's dark chuckle

"the Velasco cartel" Alonzo repeated as if mocking Ethan, has this mas forgotten I have a freaking gun being aimed at my head

"you see now ethan, that can never happen, I've had enough of your bullshit, get out of my house or I'll end you" his threat sent shivers down my spine, is he trying to get me killed?

"money, ill give you but if you don't leave now you will never see another sunrise" I could feel Ethan start to tense up as his grip on me loosened

"the Velasco cartel belongs to me, me not her, not this fucking bitch" he said taking his hand off my neck and just pointing the gun at me

"i'll kill her, ill kill both of you" he said moving the gun from me to Alonzo. I looked at him still pointing his gun at Alonzo, his drunken state preventing him from realizing how dumb it was to put his attention completely on Alonzo

I flung towards him, making his gun fall to the ground as he hurries to get it, in a swift moment the sound of a gun could be heard, I looked down only to see blood gushing out of my cousin's head

the life draining out of his eyes. Alonzo shot him.
