Melissa's pov.

" What are you talking about?" I stuttered vaguely. I can sense my face getting blanched as I glare at them in request for an answer. 

No, they are lying, you don't need to take them seriously, get yourself together and stay calm to the end; Talking about the end, I'm not even sure if I will see the end if what they just said is true.

" I'm not sure if you understand or should I get you a translator instead?" Daniel turned to leave but stopped on his way and looked back at me. " Which language translator would you prefer, French or Spanish?" He scowled.

 I was deeply hurt by his words; I even attempted to rush him from the bed and strangle him with the first thing I laid my hands on. Unfortunately for me, my back didn't seem to accept the motion, I practically screamed when I felt a sharp pain down my butt. 

I retreated from the idea.

" Daniel, I don't want you to make any mistakes tonight," Daniel's father mumbled to him, completely neglecting the question I asked earlier.  He bowed to his father a little, with a smile forming on his lips.

" You can confide in me," He assured him confidently. 

At this point, I feel like a ghost. Even though they are boldly discussing how they will end up killing the only guy I ever fall in love with, I can't do anything. They know that nothing could stop them from getting what they want. What is their goal exactly after killing Bobby? Is it his father's company? or he will also kill his parents? The more I kept thinking about it, the more I don't think this felony chain has an end. 

" Kill her immediately you notice he came with anyone, don't even spare her," I flinched at his words, His voice was harsh and stoic. How can a human being be this cruel to his fellow brothers? no sympathy at all. He was talking about killing a fellow like he was talking about the killing of a deer. Even wildlife deserves sympathy.

I looked at Daniel. He was busy smiling as his father continued to feed him. 

" I will see you later then, have a flight to catch up with," He eventually put an end to his prattle talk.

"He will be in jail next time you set your eyes on him," I muttered to myself. 

" What did you just say?" Daniel demanded out of nowhere. I was sidetracked with his words because I have no idea that I said it out loud.  I didn't say anything, I just continued to look down thinking of the perfect excuse to give this soulless being.

I know I will end up getting hurt in the end if I provoked him, the person at my front was so fierce and I am sure he was only waiting for me to make a mistake, so he will have an excuse to point to when he's' ask by his father why he hurt me. 

" I will advise you to keep your mouth to yourself and abstain from saying anything, who knows, you might be lucky to join Bobby tonight...." He paused, threw his father a quick look before glaring back at me.  " Draven is busy waiting for you two"  He bawled in a mockery manner. Draven's name being mentioned again sent another cloud of pain through me. Have been restraining myself from thinking about him all this while, but I don't think this is still a joke. The way Daniel displayed his excitement whenever he mentioned his name meant something was wrong. I also noticed his so-called father expression is a bit strange whenever Daniel shouts Draven's name.

No, it is not just possible. I shook my head in an attempt to dislodge the thought out as soon as possible. Ignoring won't put me at ease because the truth is right beside me, it's up to me whether I decide to believe it or not. 

I don't want to agree but it seems like they have killed Draven as they claimed. 

I had no idea that I had been sobbing again until the salty liquid reached my lips. 

" Why did you have to kill him? '' I whimpered, slamming my hand hard on the bed without minding the two crazy killers beside me. " He did nothing wrong, he always speaks good of you, so why? why do you have to take his life when he doesn't belong to you in the first place...... you can get....t anything......you...uuu.....want....t..from him....mmm..witho....... killing...g him why," I whimpered, crying my mind out. The picture of his body when I saw him lifeless, while he was getting beaten by the person he called his father won't stop showing up. Draven is Gone...

" Shut the hell up, do you think we owe you an explanation for that?" Daniel answered angrily.

I felt a hand on me, the person is trying to force my face up. But I didn't hesitate to his hand away with the remaining strength in me, I  continued to cry into the pillow. 

" Drag her up immediately!" 

They grabbed me by my arms and forced me to face Daniel. I was surprised to see his father who said he was late for his flight earlier.  He was now sitting on a couch with his eyes glaring at me intently. 

" If you miss him so much, I can easily send you to him this instant....."

" Daniel, stop." His father cut him off. He stood up from the couch and walked to me, his hand reaching for my face when he got to my front. 

He chuckled, " You asked me a question," He hesitated, two of his fingers brushing aside some strand of hair from my face.

" You see, I think it will be so good of me to clear some misunderstanding here since today is likely to be your last day you will ever set your eyes on me" I hissed. I feel like spitting on someone's face right now.

The guys holding me are too strong, they don't seem to care whether I'm in pain or not, even as tears kept on rushing out of my eyes.

" Draven has never been a son of mine and he will never be. He was just a leech, standing between what belongs to me. And since it is mine, I have no other choice than to clear him out of the way," Daniel clapped from behind; like a thirteen years old boy who was applauding his father for delivering a good opening speech at his school graduation.

" You are the leech here. What is Bobby's offence?/ is my offence!" I shouted at him.

" You want to know? don't you think you are asking for too much?" Daniel demanded, but I ignored him like I did not hear a word.

" Just let her be," His father reached for his pocket, pulled out a white handkerchief and wiped his face with it.

" His offence was being born, no other thing. Since my brother got what was supposed to be shared between us, I don't think it is bad to also retrieve what his mine,"

" And you need to kill him before you can do so?" I managed to say.

" Yes, because he is a treat to my plan. No Bobby, and there won't be anybody to acquire all their wealth when his parents are no more. You get the concept?" I was dumbfounded by what I just heard. Bobby is not even the main target in all this but his parents. I'm not that surprised because I see this coming. I wanted to say something but I was too shocked to even think about a word; it feels like the world just crashed in front. I have the answer, but I can't prevent it from happening.

" Dad, you will be late if you continue with this useless chat,"

He turned to Daniel. " I will be off then, don't make any mistake" After saying this, he looked at me for the last time, and then head towards the door.

" You can release him and cuffed her back to the bed," Daniel commanded.

" No, no," I struggled to get out of their grip, but they are too strong compared to my tiny body.

" I will come to get you in the night," Daniel paused. The guys have already cuffed my hands back to the bed, they are now trying to get my leg straight before doing the same.

" Maintain your manners till then," He muttered before heading to the door.
