Roman Montero and her

47

Kalani's POV
I was choking. Or more like someone was choking me, in my dream. But why did it feel so real, why wasn't I breathing?

I was suddenly pulled back to life and I opened my eyes and I was being straggled, by Mr Steffano.

“Oh look, Missy here is awake.” Steffano sarcastically said, as grip on my neck suddenly tighten. I tried pushing his arm away but he just kept increasing it.

I coughed and I tried to hit his hands with my elbows still he wasn't moving.

His phone rang and instantly, he removed the one hand and he answered it.

“Oh it's you. I'm kinda busy Montero, you know, killing your girl.” he said casually. I could hear someone screaming profanities on the other end of the phone but I didn't care about that at the moment, I was losing this battle.

This guy was going to kill me and that was a given. And it scared the shit out of me because it was happening right now and I couldn't do anything to save myself nor my babies but to beg.

“Please. ” I whispered in a choke while coughing. He then just put me on loud speaker and said, “say that again, Montero didn't quite hear you sweetie.”

“Please, stop.” I repeated. I couldn't care less on why they where fighting now but I just wanted to live, I wanted my babies to have a chance to live.

Montero's profanities haven't stopped on the other end of the phone but Steffano didn't care. He kept going. “Was this how she was begging Montero?” he asked. “Begging you to stop, does this sound just about right to you?”

“I'm sorry ok?!” Montero yelled, “Just stop!” I could here the brokeness in his voice and for a second, my heart melted for this guy.

“You sorry?” he chuckled. “You killed a pregnant woman who was your friend and all you have to say is that you sorry and only when I'm killing her?” wait, he killed what? A pregnant woman? That easily could pass as me. How could he? You telling me that he could kill me too then apologize later?

“Im sorry ok? Just let her go?” he kept yelling.

Montero was begging, at it was for the wrong reasons. Did he want me to live so he could kill me himself or he really wanted me to live?

“But that's not gonna happen Montero.” at this point, my vision was blurry, my throat was burning, my face was turning purple due to the lack of enough oxygen and my ears where red because I could feel them.

“Please...” I begged one last time, hoping there was an angel that was hearing my pleas.

Roman's POV
No, he was killing her. Steffano was killing her and it was all because of me. I could hear her cries and her pleas but I couldn't make him stop. I didn't have leverage on him and I even if I burnt more of his things he wouldn't care.

He was going to kill her. He was going to kill her and my babies were also going to die.

Reiley was right, I was a monster. A monster that could kill his own family just because he had power and money. This was my one chance to life and just maybe love, but I just blew it all up. And for what? Pride, power, anger, just because I could. And what is that costing me now, my family.

“F*ck.” I yelled pushing everything to the floor. Breaking glasses and plates, I didn't care. I ran my hands through my hair and I started pacing around. Maria looked freaked out, but Liam and dad where both calm.

“What's wrong son?” my dad asked.

“Steffano, he is killing Kalani and there is nothing I can do.” I continued pacing around. I took out my phone trying to dial his number again but he ended the call.
