CHAPTER SIXTEEN:Save Her Life?

Juan's pov

~~~

I actually didn't know what gave me the courage to ask my boss to spare her life,if anything, it was very obvious that she was going to die soon without having anything in her system for days.

I had done that.I begged for her life,even when i knew damn well what implications my actions were going  to cause me.

Boss was keen on killing her and her sister, and i felt bad about that.Which is the question that was left unanswered?

Why did i care about that?

Why did i fucking care about an enemy's daughter?!

I was running crazy.

I couldn't breathe,it was more like thinking of  what  boss was going to have goosebumps crawling on my skin.

For the first time I wasn't excited as i had always been,to watch how  boss  was punishing his enemies and it's all because of her.

It's all because of Angelina lopez!

She was messing with my mind,and made me feel things no one had ever made me  feel in my many years of working with boss Alejandro.

No..I didn't and wasn't one who was interested in any woman,but that all changed at that moment she bumped into me.

She was something else.

The first expression on her face amuses me, because it was pretty obvious that people gets intimidated and scared of their life with just a glances right at my face.

But her?

She didn't knew who was i was,yes that was a big fucking mistake that she didn't have any idea what sort of a man was.

But she shouldn't have looked  me in the eyes with those enchanting brown eyes of hers, that could look right  through my soul to notice that i had a thing for her.

That's what everyone thinks now,the rumours were escalating faster than i thought after i had begged for her life to boss.

Yet it still did not seek to faze me about what's happening,I was far more concerned about what was going on with me.

I wanted to know,I needed an answer because it's clearky not love that i feel for her.Im not that stupid to fall for her.

Boss Alejandro would bury me  six feet alive if he noticed that i had such feelings for her,it was something else.

Something else that i didn't get to understand what it's all about, because day after day i haven't  been able to forget the look on her face, as the house was burnt down to ashes with her dad  in there.

That was a peaceful way to die, unlike if he had gotten into boss Alejandro's hand's.I was sure she would go crazy at what he would do to her  dad.

He will make her watch him torture her dad to the brink of death, and when it seems that he had gotten better.He will start all over again. 

I tried to understand, and not blame myself for not having a goodnight rest for days,since after what i did at her family house.

I did it for the family.

I did it for the red dragons!

There was no way i would choose her over my family, there's absolutely no way i will chose her instead of boss Alejandro.

He gave me life.

My life was like a ticking tone bomb in tbe life of my enemies that wanted me dead,well that's until he showed up and picked me up to tbe street.

So,why would i betrayed the family  for some bitch? For her!

She's a nobody who deserves nothing good,from being the daughter of the boss's enemy.They all have to pay for what they did to his family back in the days.

Every single one of them,that is the boss's  rule and i have to abide by being the filial right hand man i was to him.

Yet it wasn't exhilarating when i remember her,I couldn't feel more alive that there would soon be a blood bath, once boss Alejandro catches who were behind the murderer of his present.

For the first time in years,I was feeling bad for someone else. It was as if i could feel her pain, as my chest tightened and breathing was hard abit.

I couldn't let her die.

I had to do something,that was what came to my  mind days ago,  as i manly took it in me to talk to boss Alejandro about her.

I shouldn't have involved myself,but it was late.i had been involved right from the day we bumped into each other.

I had being involved in Angelina's life the moment i had burnt her house down with her dad inside,I was totally fucking involved with everything about her.

That's it.

Pity.

I was feeling bad about doing this to her and her little sister, Anastasia also wasn't any different from her.She's stubborn like Angelina,but not to the extent of not listening to Nate.

I felt bad for what i did to the two sisters,which was why i had approached her this evening,and advised her to drop the attitude of she still wants to live.

But she probably took as a joke, or she was just  plain stupid not to know who dangerous boss Alejandro was.

Anyway,I did my best.Yeah ..I know i did.

I can't help her because this was her fate by being the enemy's daughter,but i had hoped that she would heed to my advice and stop fighting boss Alejandro.

I still didn't know what's wrong with him, because he had been acting strangely ever since the encounter with het at the basement.

But one thing was obvious,it is the fact that she will end up dying and leaving her little sister if she doesn't change and behave.

Who knows?

Boss Alejandro might spare their life,there is a huge possibility that he had some plan for them for keeping them alive till now.

I only hoped that it doesn't have to do with sending Angelina to the whore house,and selling her off to some sexually starved prick.

That would make me feel bad, she didn't knew how affected i was by her,you know..I actually thought that she had feelings for me.

I had this strong hunch that she was smitten by me,and would actually listen to me.But i was dead wrong,people change when they are in a difficult situation.

Right now,she wasn't that naive girl who had bumped into me on the road,and was eyeraping me.

She was something else, someone else who was hungry for revenge.I saw it in her eyes hours ago when she lashed out at me for trying to save her life.

Save her life?

Yeah,that's what i wanted,I don't want her dead..yet!

I still have to figure out what it is about her that made me feel this way, and if this was me catching feelings for her.

I was as good as dead.

Boss Alejandro would kill me for having any relationship under his lair, it was forbidden to do so and everyone knew that and so was me.

So for now,I have to avoid her.

To be alive,and also to find out what's wrong with me before boss Alejandro gets a sniff of what's going on with me.

I watched as her chest rose and down as she slept peacefully,not knowing that there were a lot of wolves standing by to attack her.

Her innocence was what attracted me to her,she was not like any sophisticated lady out there that was money hungry,and would do anything to have it.

She had a fire burning inside of her,but i have to quench it real soon before the boss uses his way to do that.i bet she wouldn't like him doing that.

So,I gently closed her door and turned to leave,until i saw who was standing meters away from me.

Boss Alejandro.

Has he been here all long?
