They dead...

Myra heard the word 'Mom' and tears rolled down from her eyes, it's been decades since she heard it…

July hurriedly unlocked the gate and she hugged Myra tightly, both sobbing…

Aaron looked at them and felt bad as directly or indirectly it was his father's fault in separation from them, he just sighed.

After a long hug, Myra asked ' Where have you been? How are you in July?'

July said ' I'm fine mom and sorry for leaving like that'

Myra shook her head and then she realized of Aaron and she said ' This boy knew you and brought me to meet you'

July looked at Aaron she didn't know about him and said ' Thanks, are you a friend of Mathew?'

Aaron felt weird he just nodded and then said ' I will be leaving you guys carry on'

July offered for him to come and have coffee but he knew it was not a good place for him and they have a lot to solve….

Aaron thanked for the offer and left…

July held Myra's hand and took her inside….

As they went inside, July made her sit and sat beside her. Both had many things to talk about but didn't know how to start and it was a bit awkward silence…

Suddenly there was a noise and They looked up and saw Mathew coming down from the stairs…

Seeing Mathew Myra was shocked, she recognized him from the pic just now shown but Francis….

Mathew looked at the woman and then in July and seeing their tears he asked confusingly ' Who is this July?'

July said ' This is my Mother '

Hearing it he was shocked it's been so long since they married and he has never heard nor seen her and she suddenly appeared here and the way she looked at him he knew she didn't like him….

Mathew nodded and greeted her….

July smiled and looked at Myra and seeing her stunned she said ' Mom this is Mathew, my husband'

Myra was even more shocked…

She looked at July and said ' This man is a bad man July '

Hearing it both Mathew and July were stunned…

July looked at Mathew and then at Myra and said ' What happend mom, why are you saying that?'

Myra said ' He is a bastard, he played with a young girl and threw her'

Hearing it they were shocked and suddenly a name popped up in their mind and both July and Mathew looked at each other…

July said ' is the girl's name Maria  you talking about?'

Hearing July's tale the name Myra nodded and said ' yes he ruined her, but by God's grace she found a good man who protected her'

Mathew just turned around and left, and July looked at Myra and said ' Mom there's a lot for you to know and it's better if I say it to you now'

Saying she looked at Myra and sighed and started her story from the start of how she met Francis to Here….

Aaron after leaving didn't go back home, he went to the beach and sat there in darkness hearing the sound of waves, he felt lonely for the first time in his life…

He said as if saying to himself ' You tried your best to protect him, but he couldn't change'...

He then opened his phone and looked at the name Ava. They had become great friends who shared things with each other, but he couldn't press the dial button, just threw the phone down and sat there alone…..

In a warehouse,

Guards were all over and it was completely dark with just a light on in the center and below it were 2 people tied to a chair and who were begging to be released….

A car stopped in front of it and one of the guards opened the door and Arthur got down and as he walked in everyone bowed to him…

Francis and Rachel saw someone coming in the dark and it was Rachel who recognized him and said ' Arthur,  sorry please let me go I will never ever come in your way will go somewhere far please'

Arthur slowly got visible and he said ' Ya that's true am here to send you far away'

Hearing it both felt chills on their body…

Francis said ' Please leave us, I was just behind her as I thought she was with Matthew and planning to destroy me'

Arthur chuckled and said ' After being with an emperor do you think she would care about the pawns?'

Francis was stunned hearing it, yes he couldn't see it. A man who could care less about a burned-down project worth several billion dollars is too huge for them. It's just a dream to see even that much money…

Arthur looked at him realizing and said ' It's too late to realize now'

They both looked at him in horror and said ' Please let us go, you won't even see us again'

Arthur could care less, he never gives any second chances but he gave them several and he realized that he was right to never give chances and he won't make that mistake again…

He then looked at the guard and nodded…

In a few seconds, the guard brought a table in between them and 2 guns were placed on it and 2 guards stood side by side with them…

Rachel and Francis were shaking in fear…

The guard then untied Francis, but Francis couldn't move….

Arthur smiled and said ' As I have already given you chances I will give you another chance…. To choose how you die'

Both Francis and Rachel looked at Arthur with their eyes almost popped out…

Arthur said ' Either its an easy death in seconds by shooting yourself or by draining your last but of blood in pain and torture'

As soon as he said the guard picked up the chair with Francis and placed him directly in front of the table with guns on it…

Arthur said ' Don't dare try pointing it towards me, as I will kill you and even your son if that happens, now you have 2 choices 1st pick up the gunpoint it at ur head and shoot yourself

Die instantly no pain else every 30 seconds my people will be cutting your body making you bleed and your time starts now'

Hearing it Francis was stunned for a few seconds and he said ' no you can't be doing th….' N before he completed the guard beside him pulled out a dagger and cut his hand making him scream in pain and blood oozed out….

Rachel too screamed seeing blood coming out of his hand…

Arthur chuckled and said ' what are you afraid of these are minor cuts not deep so that you don't bleed to death in a single go ' Arthur was still saying it and once again the Guard cut another mark making him scream…

Arthur said ' well either die like this or you have a simple option' saying he tapped the gun…

Every 10 seconds the guard was placing a cut making him bleed and screams were going loud and loud….

5 minutes passed and Francis' whole body was marked with several cuts of blood all over the ground. His body looked as if being played by a beast…..

The whole ground was covered in blood, Rachel seeing it she tried to get her leg up but in vain….

Francis couldn't even make a sound now, he was lying on the ground his blood slowly draining through his body through the cuts….

Rachel was terrified she was limp in her seat knowing it's her next….

The painful screams of Francis were roaming in her mind….

Francis was breathing and his eyes open but had no energy even to move his finger nor to scream in his pain tears were rolling down his eyes and to slow it down on Arthur's gesture the guards stopped placing cuts leaving him to drain slowly….

Arthur looked at Rachel who was already half dead and said ' Well he will be going there slowly, lets get on with you too, I have to go back my wife will be worried otherwise'

Rachel immediately shook her head tears rolling down she begged him ' Arthur we know each other since childhood, please for the sake of good times please let me go you can send me anywhere I will go I won't come back and interfere please'

Arthur sneered ' It's too late for it, I don't like repeating myself, what do you choose'

As soon as he said that, the guard untied her and pulled the chair in front of the table…

She looked at Arthur in a pleading way but of no use suddenly the guard held her hand and placed a cut making her scream in pain and blood started coming out….

Francis down on the floor was breathing unevenly, his body was turning pale as if life was being sucked out of him …

Rachel's scream from 1st cut didn't stop and the guard once again placed a cut making her scream again and she looked at Arthur seeing him not even blink and as soon as the guard was about to mark the 3rd cut she suddenly held the gun and shot right in her head and her body fell to the ground as if a free ball….

Arthur said something to the guard and turned around and walked out….

The guards stood and looked at Francis who was taking his last few breaths and after a few seconds he finally groaned and a mouthful of blood came out and he was gone…..
