11 Reconciliation

It's better if the person inflicting the pain is not related to you. I was always crying and cursing at my fate for bring me into this kind of a wicked world, until hunger came and I had to survive.

By the time she was done, it was already dark outside.

Antonio POV

I know that the past months, has been quite stressful for you Susie, holding her hands, looking into her eyes while I try to comfort her.

Since the incident last week, we have been too close, not bearing to leave each other's sight.

I know I need to come clean, but now I can't overlook what is happening here and rush off to make peace with my past, my past can wait.

You know one thing with this independent women, most times they don't want to ask for help. I said while still looking at her.

Shaking my hands off her, she gave me a glare. Antonio, don't make me angry with you she said.

See, channel that anger at King, he is the one making you stay indoors for three days now.

Don't!!!!!!!! Susan said

I know Susie.

A maid came to the living room to call her to answer a business call coming from the office, she went to the library with the maid.

Since King's goons vandalizes Susan's Mercedes on Monday evening, leaving a note on the destroyed windscreen,

" This is just a warning from King, next will be a flesh dripping with blood"

it has been like this.

First, she wanted to retaliate, but i had to stop her because King does not just want two million dollars, I can perceive he wants more.

The note looks like it was written with blood.

When me and Susan took it to the lab to be inspected, it was truly a human blood.

She insisted on bodyguards while I said I will guard her always, but she should stay away from the office, at least she can still work form the house.

Emily's thought came into my mind. But come to think of it, Emily acted quite strange yesterday, Antonio said. Browsing through his social media platform.

"I know the signals I was sending her way the last time I was in New York, but I came to redeem my love".

"I came to forgive myself and also hopes she forgives me too"

Now I have thought about it, I should apologize to Emily, I know I hurt her and...… here she comes.

"Hello beautiful one" she looked up at me, sighed and continued walking.

I got up to follow her when I was interrupted with the ring of my phone. I took it out and started speaking into it, she left the room.

Emily POV

I just don't understand what it is with that guy. Yesterday he pushed me to the floor, today he is calling me beautiful one, such ingrate, Emily thought shaking her head.

"I will personally tackle the next girl I see him showing kindness to. I just hope they are just being friends and nothing more".

"No one is allowed to lead you on and then leaves you crying your heart out for them, they are not worth the stress".

Moving into the car my sister got me two weeks ago, I decided I can as well do some shopping, after all it's a Saturday and I also need to meet with Andrew.

It's been a while I saw him, I know he will be shock at my new found confidence come on, even me is shock, am just grateful to Sus for taking care and loving me so much, I owe her so much.

I was driving fast when suddenly the light turned red.

A gun shot in the air made me jerk up from my seat, guys with guns came out of nowhere and asked me to join their car. I stepped out of my car, then I was smashed with the back of a gun, I passed  out.

The room was dark, my head is spinning, when I suddenly remember what happened before I passed out. I jerk up my head when I heard a voice. See this beauty is awake.
