Chapter 51

When I woke up he was no longer there! So we are really over?? We are really done? We can never be together?

********************

"Is there anything we can do to stop you from going back home?" He held my waist tightly.

Now I feel bad, but I have to go.

"Relax Lucio, she will come back. She is just going there because of her dream", Violetta said trying to comfort Lucio.

Yeah that was a weird dream but I know it was a warning

"I will come back. Don't worry", I hugged him tightly

"Please don't forget about us when you go back home", Tristan said as he took me into his arms and hugged me

"What a nice view", I pulled away from Tristan and looked at this man. He was tall but not that tall. He is muscular and has brown hair. He is good looking

"What are you doing here?" Reina asked while standing up

They know each other?

"Well, dear sister I'm here to pay Aphile Cadsway a visit!"

What? Sister?? Reina has a brother that I don't know of. How come? Why did she not tell me? How did he find out? Did Reina tell him?

I looked at Reina and she quickly averted her eyes in this man's direction

"Jesper, what are you doing here?" Tristan asked in a protective voice.

"I've come here to take this lovely lady with me. I'm sure Xavier will be very happy to see her. After all, she is the enemy's daughter."

Enemy's daughter?? What enemy?

"She is not going anywhere", they all said at the same time

What is going on here? I am confused! What enemy? Xavier...

That day, Xavier said he want revenge. That some people from my country murdered his sister.

"She has been free for too long", I looked at him

What has Xavier's revenge got to do with me?

"She doesn't know anything", Lucio said

Could it be that he was talking about Linz and Mr Cadsway?? Could it be that I am the girl he was talking about? That is wandering around freely in New Orleans?

"She is coming with me", he grabbed my arm and pointed his gun at my forehead

Gun???

"Guys... What is going on?"

They all took out their guns and pointed at this man.

Wait! My friends have guns?? Reina and Violetta?? Lucio and Tristan? Even Enrique??

"Little sister, why don't you and your friends lower your guns!" he gritted

"Look, Jesper, she doesn't even know what happened!" Enrique said

What happened? Did my stepdad and brother kill his sister, Xavier's twin?

"I know", he laughed

"It will be so much fun to watch Xavier torture her for the mistakes of her step-family", he laughed

They killed her? But why? Why?

"She is innocent, she doesn't even know that she is surrounded by gangsters."

Gangsters??? They are gangsters? Are they also gangsters?

"Listen Aphile, we will explain everything to you later", Violetta said

"Yeah, you can do it later. Now we have to go. I promise you, Xavier will be so happy to see you", he had that wicked smirk on his face

"Please don't hurt her", Reina said softly

He grinned

"She will get hurt", he looked at me.

"You can't take her", Lucio said as he pulled the trigger and grabbed my arm

"Look around you", he said. We all did, there were men wearing black outfits with their guns pointed at us.

"Can I take her to Xavier?" Reina asked

"Nope! I will be the one taking her to him. Now if you'll excuse us, we have better things to do", with that he dragged me out and roughly shoved me inside the car.

"Drink this", he said

"Why must I?" Where did I get the courage to say that?

"It's water, drink it", he roughly forced my mouth open and poured the liquid he called water into my mouth

"Good girl. Now you gonna sleep for hours", he knocked me off with his gun.

***************

My head hurts so much!! So how will he take his revenge?? Will he hurt me? God, please protect me.

I heard voices. I know these voices.

"What the fuck is she doing here?"

That is Xavier's voice

"She is a Cadsway and we want revenge!"

That voice, it's that man's voice.

Where am I? Why can't I move my hands? Where am I?

"I've been with her for months, why didn't I ask about her last name? This bitch is related to that bastard!"

Is it my fault that my mum got married to that man? Is it my fault?

God, please forgive him, he is just thirsty for revenge, he doesn't mean anything that he will do.

"So what will her punishment be??"

Of course, there will be punishment! Will it be harsh?

"A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye"

Mother!! I need you!! Please I don't want to die! I can't die

"Wake her up!"

How will they wake me up?

God! Please help!

"Wake up", I screamed, why is it so cold and why am I wet?

Shit! They poured cold water on me

How can you pour cold water on somebody?

"Bitch wake up!" I stayed silent waiting for Xavier to tell him I'm not a bitch but no, he didn't say anything

Someone grabbed my hair and pulled me up to face him!

"When will my punishment start?" Being dead is better than suffering

They laughed viciously. God, please don't let Xavier do this. Please, he is a good man. Please, God!

"Hello beautiful", he said with a vicious smile

"Xavier please remove your hands", instead he tightened his hold on my hair

"From now on you will call me Sir, you are going to be my slave", never have I been a slave in my life, never had I been kidnapped like this.

"I won't be calling you Sir", he slapped me so hard, that my cheek stung

"You gonna call me Sir!!"

Today he showed me his true colours. So he is a gangster? A gangster?? Oh Heavenly Father, please protect me

"Why didn't you tell me you're a gangster?"

"Well baby, I'm more than that", he smirked

More than that??

"I'm the leader of this gang!" They started laughing. He is the leader!! He is more dangerous!!

"Don't act too shocked, your stepfamily, your father and Linz are gangsters. We are enemies, they killed our sister!! They murdered my twin!! You're gonna pay for this!! I'll make you pay for your father's mistake!!!" He slammed his fist on my face.

For the first time, he raised his hand to me. Okay not only am I scared but I'm frightened, damn I'm scared of him. If he can punch me in my face, he can do more. God, what can I do? What can I do to stop him?

"He is not my father, butstepfatherr. And, it's not my fault your sister died. It was her day, she was being called back home, I promise you she is happy where she is", I cried

"Xavier, I'm sorry for your loss but how can it be my fault?? I was not even related to that man when he killed your sister!!"

Next thing I know Xavier is strangling me.

"Xay you... are... hurting... me", I choked

Why does he have to be this strong? God I don't want to die

"I will make sure that you suffer before you die", he removed his hand from my neck.

"Can I have water??" I choked

"No! You're not getting water!!"

I looked around to only see his brother smiling victoriously. I don't hate him but I just don't like him. He is the main reason I am here!

"Give me the knife!" At the mention of knives, I shivered. God, please help. Help me!

I can't die without changing Xavier to be a better person. I can't die! Help!

"Aphile day by day you're going suffer. When I'm satisfied then I will kill you", he said as he traced the knife on my cheek

"Please don't do this Xavier", I begged, something flashed in his eyes but was quickly replaced with an evil smirk

"Do you love me??" He stopped midway and looked at me, he looked deep into my eyes.

"Yes I still do", I winced when I felt the knife go deep into my skin. I felt my blood flow down my cheek. That's a scar! A scar I will never forget! That scar will never go away!!

"Then why??" I screamed when he pressed hard on the wound he made

"Aphile, welcome to my life!"

"Please go! Please leave Xavier. Get out of here!!" I shouted

He must just go! He hurt me!

"Let's go Xavier. I'll take care of her later", the evil one said
