Chapter 4
MONALISA P. O. V
“Fuck!!!” His hand speedily left my neck and held unto his poor dick, as he massaged them softly. I finally breathed a sigh of relief as I ran with all my might and grabbed my gun.
I pointed it directly at him with shaking hands. “I wanted to let you live, but I hate snakes.” I pulled the trigger, and the bullet pierced through his heart, and he slumped to the ground, coughing out blood, as he breathed his last breath. Without feeling satisfied, I took out the heel of my shoe and stuck it into his eyes.
Suddenly, I heard gunshots sounding everywhere. Fuck! My heart leaped for a second, and I tried to compose myself. I gazed at Phil’s lifeless body lying on the floor, and I shook my head sideways in fright, probably marveling at how I did it.
I’m a murderer after all. I’m no different from Dominic. I’m a beast just like him who doesn’t feel remorseful when ending someone’s life.
Phil might have a family waiting to welcome him back home, or perhaps a girlfriend or a child. Why didn’t I think of that before pulling the trigger? I’m such a heartless being. I slowly slumped down to the ground beside Phil’s lifeless, cold body, as I sobbed gently.
My eyes gazed at the gun I was holding and diverted them to Phil’s body. That was when I realized the meaning of what I’d done-staining my hands with human blood. From today onward, I will have to kill to be saved. I will have to fight for survival because every breath I take now is numbered. Because if any word of my escape gets to Dominic, hell will surely break loose.
That’s why I have to be strong now and not sit back here and cry over a dead body. Because if they were in my position, they could’ve done worse by burning me alive because that is how evil their hearts can be.
I quickly wiped away my tears with the back of my palm, because they didn’t deserve my sympathy or tears. because they turned me into the beast I am today. They made me this way, and they will surely taste their own medicine soon.
The gunshots became louder than ever as I hurriedly grabbed my luggage from the floor. I held onto the gun tightly with my right hand to defend myself while I rolled my luggage with my other hand as I made it to the door.
Suddenly, the loud vibration of a cell phone made me halt, and I glanced back to check where it was coming from.
And I discovered it was coming out of Phil’s pant pocket. I hastily rushed to him and retrieved the cell phone, and as expected, *Dom boss* name was boldly written on the screened call. Without thinking twice, I quickly turned off the cell phone before dipping it into my pant pocket.
_I have to leave here as soon as I can before those bad guys get to me. __
I ran out of the room with my heart beating rapidly against my chest, as goosebumps covered my skin. because I was feeling so nervous at the moment.
I finally came out of the building and saw some groups of hefty men surrounding the whole building, looking well-armed and treacherous.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Their eyes kept darting around, while others were running around the building, firing their bullets endlessly at every corner, which resulted in the breaking down of windows and walls.
_Damn! These men looked so dangerous. If not, who could be wearing such a heavy suit in this hot sun without reconsideration? _
My eyes and mind became vigilant as my eyes glanced around for a root of escape. I quickly rolled my luggage and ran to the back of the building, and the only way out was to jump over the wall.
At that moment, I never thought of how lengthy the process was because I was so determined. I suddenly heard footsteps coming in my direction.
“Don’t move, or I will shoot.” I heard them warn in a union as their strong boots hit the ground. Without having much time to think, I threw my luggage over the wall, and my gaze landed on my little hands. I wondered how high I would have to jump over the wall.
They started firing bullets all over in my direction. “Fuck!” I jumped up, dodging bullets flying in my direction. At the speed of light, I jumped over the wall. My stomach brushed so hard against the wall, causing me to groan out in anguished pain as it circulated all over my body.
Suddenly, I felt like a fire was piercing under the skin of my right toe. My hand tightened so hard into a fist as my mouth pressed into a hard line, trying so hard not to scream out the brain eruption that flared all over my body, causing me to shiver as I tried to control my body.
My body kept vibrating like I was connected to the bare wire of an electric as I felt my blood freeze up like a piece of ice.
I tried to maintain my position on the wall, regardless of how my body was about to lose its balance anytime soon. Huddling the only strength I had in me, I fell over to the other side, permitting myself to land on any surface I found myself on.
I thought I could wake up and see myself in heaven, but I was disappointed when I saw myself on the bare ground with my body still vibrating. I glanced down to my toe and noticed that the bullets were connected to an electric robe, which would paralyze me for some minutes.
Both hands hastily grabbed the robe, ignoring the blasting flames coming out of it as I held it so tightly. I began to pull, and at the same time, I screamed out in pain. But I continue to pull, shunning the anguished pains that shoot all over my tissues and body cells.
Luckily, I successfully pulled out the rope with the bullets connected to the edge of the rope. Blood was oozing so massively from the open hole on my toe. I glanced around for my luggage, and I found it right beside me. I unzipped it and pulled out one of my tees.
I tore the neckline in two with my teeth. I quickly used it to wrap up my wounded toe to stop the bleeding but to no avail.
My eyes wandered around as I pulled out some grass leaves growing on my left. I smashed the leaf together and dipped it into my wounded toe, as I used my torn cloth to wrap it up.
At least it will last me until I get to a safer place. I stumbled to stand up from the ground, as I was drenched in my sweats. I felt weak, but I had to keep going. I have to go away from this place, where Dominic and his boys can never find me.
I quickly pulled out Phil’s phone from my back pocket and turned it on. Immediately, the screen came back to life. Massages kept popping endlessly into the phone, and it all came from Dominic.
I ignored them all as I pressed on the call log; luckily it wasn’t on the lock pin, as I found ‘Ariel Sky airway’ contact among the call log. I quickly guessed it belonged to anyone who booked the flight for us to Mexico.
I dialed the number, placing the phone on my ear, and after a few rings, a young lady’s voice boomed on the phone’s speaker. “Ariel from Sky Airways speaking.”
I breathe out in relief. “I guess Mr. Phil booked a flight this afternoon to Mexico?” I asked in a calm voice, trying to keep my voice clear.
“Yes, Ma’am. Together with a lady called Monalisa.” She responded.
“I want to cancel that flight and replace it with Italy. Can you do that for me?” I asked, praying in my heart not to be asked unnecessary questions.
“Of course, Mr. Phil had cleared off the bills. And you’re lucky you called at the right time. Italy plane will take off at 50mins from now, Ma’am.” She answered politely.
I ended up the call, with a smile on my face. Now it’s time to start a new life. and nothing will stop me now.
