Love or Loyalty

Sebastian p.o.v:

After dinner, everyone departed to their rooms. I'm too exhausted from the earlier activities therefore I decided to take a bath and relaxed a little bit in the shower.

I ambled towards the third floor, where my bedroom exists and as I opened the door of my room, I met with a weird silence, no doubt my room is filled with many expensive merchandises.

A huge king-size luxurious bed, a walk-in closet filled with top branded clothes and articles, and a gigantic bathroom laced with every latest facility installed in it.

Furniture made from delicate and pure leather with elegant designs is implanted in my room. The theme of my room is black and so is my soul.

But this quietness always reminded me of how vulnerable I'm. No doubt power and money precisely filled your ego and arrogance but never your heart.

I dragged my feet in the direction of the bathroom and stripped the expensive suit from my body then get under the shower. I set the water indicator to warm to cold and allowed the cold water to splash over my head.

Their screams always echoed in my ears and it made me feel guilty with every passing moment of my life.

What significance of accumulating so much power now when there is no one to protect?

I stood under the shower until my head and body started feeling numb.

After a while, I decided to come out of the shower....my demons are not going to leave me no matter how much I tried.

l fasten a fluffy white towel around my waist and pace in my closet. I changed into a comfortable white T-shirt and black sweatpants.

As I stepped out of the closet, I found Alexis standing in the living area, and behind him, Sofia is propelling a trolley of wine.

" Sofia is here, master"

Alexis informed me...I can sense 'hesitation' in his voice.

" You can leave, Alexis"

l ordered him and he complied without any suspicion. He bowed his head and turned on his heels.

Before getting out of the room he gave a full glance at Sofia and I witnessed the pain in his eyes while he is closing the double door of my bedroom.

Sofia is wearing a beautiful revealing but elegant black dress perfectly matching her pale skin. Her lips are painted with red lipstick. She is gorgeous undoubtedly.

I examined her expression and similar to Alexis hurt and pain are quite visible in her eyes.

" Good evening master..... Will you like to have some wine?"

She bowed her head and greeted me in a submissive manner. Then poured me a goblet of wine and forwards it to me.

" Placed it on the table, and get down to your business Sofia."

I plopped on the couch while instructing her and throw my head back on the headrest and stared at her with my half-opened eyes.

She started fidgeting with her clothes and inclined to undress. Her hands are trembling and her face showed she was forcing herself to accomplish her task.

" HALT!!!!!!! "

A loud command from me stopped her abruptly at what she is doing. I pulled out the first drawers under the table and grabbed a gun from it.

Her face got pale after identifying the thing in my hand. Her clothes are still halfway undressing but she doesn't bother to fix them.

With the help of the gun in my hand, I gestured for her to come and knelt beside me and she followed me as a good doll of mine.

" Now answers me truthfully.....Sofia, what's going on between you and Alexis?"

I inquired of her harshly while pinning her head with my firearm. Fear is quite evident in her eyes while mine are cold and expressionless.

" No...nothing.....hap...happens between us, It's just a k..kiss master...please forgive me, master."

She confessed to me but anxiety made her shudder a lot and even big fat tears started to roll down her cheeks.

" You know the rule Sofia, one of you shouldn't be alive.... now tell me which one I choose from both of you... you or your lover huh!!?

I allowed her to select in a low and dangerous voice. It's going to be her choice, not mine. She knew they did a grave mistake.

" Then....ki....kill me, master... it's me who entangle our feeling. It's nothing to do with Alexis, he is innocent in all this."

She asserted to me meekly as she lifted her tear-stained face. Her explanation and the determination in her voice stunned me, it left me speechless. Her eyes are all red from crying and she seemed lost.

" Let's call your lover, we get to know his thoughts as well, Sofia."

I articulated her and uplift the intercom beside my couch and dialed Alexis' room code. With the first ring, he picks up the phone.

" Come upstairs...you fu**er I know you are waiting for her"

I stated to him coldly over the intercom and I can imagine the amount of fear on his face because I can hear the sound of saliva gulping down to his throat over the line.

" Ye....yes master"

He responded to me fearfully and put the receiver down. It will take a few minutes to ascend the stair and I wanted to know how fast he can climb up for his lover.

" 10, 9,8,7,6,5,4,3...."

I began the countdown to ten and I'm merely at three when the door of my room is flung open by a scared-looking Alexis and he is panting heavily.

His eyes get widened and his jaw dropped to notice Sofia under my firearm. His stare travel over Sofia and then me.

Without uttering a word he knelt on the ground before me.

" My who*e confess that you kiss her and even she chooses her death over yours... do you want to speak up anything about this Alexis?"

I questioned him to vacuum my skepticism. While he was sitting on the ground by folding his keen and bent his head.

" No...it... it's not her fault master. it's me. I shouldn't intertwine my feeling for her... it's my failure master, so kill me instead of her"

Equivalent to Sofia, Alexis' voice is also filled with dread and determination. I'm getting more and more frustrated about the situation.

Is love more important than loyalty?

Is the feeling of devotion that strong? They are ready to die for each other. crazy..!!!!?

All these running in my head gave me a headache.

" Step out of the room Sofia, let me exchange some words with your lover "

I removed my gun from her head and instructed her, and she followed my words without any problem. She is still shedding tears and her slow paces show how reluctant she is while leaving the room.

She glanced at Alexis and their eyes met for two seconds but Alexis averted his gaze immediately. His eyes are filled with tenderness and his face is stoic.

" Let's talk, you fu$ker"

l asserted to him with gritted teeth. I hit his face hard with the grip of my gun and punch him square in the face.

He earned a bruise and his face swelled up from my action as blood trickled down from the corner of his lips.
