Sold To The Wicked Him

Do you know, friendship, a real one… is the most hardest thing you can ever find in the world. Yes, even compared with love. A real friendship, with love to each other, is like a precious gem.

Running and falling on her knees, Lea reach out to see if there is still anything she can do to save Lilith.

But there is no pulse, no heartbeat. Just… a lifeless body covered with her own blood.

“No… no… Lilith… no… this can’t be…”

Hands turning numb, she still can’t believe how everything is being like this. It is as if, it was just a while ago when they had a conversation about lots of things and now…

Again, a loud bang can be heard. Another place somewhere in the mansion exploded. Who knows how many casualties there is. Or if there still have any survivors left.

“How… how cruel of you… do you really take life so carelessly?!! Do you just see them as something you can dispose… if you wanted to?”

Shaking her head, she can’t help but wonder if it was really Brylle.

“This is not like you… how can you…”

“This is me. The real me. Lea…”

Looking at him, she can’t help but just let her tears to fall. No matter how much she tried to stop it, no matter how many times she wipes it, it just won’t stop. It just… won’t stop at all. It keeps on falling. As if a faucet of water opened somewhere and it hold vast amount of water that is so endless.

“You are not… the Brylle I know won’t do any of this…”

“The Brylle I showed you won’t. But that wasn’t the real me”

Shaking, Lea still can’t believe in the words that he is saying. All this things, none of this is so acceptable. None of this things was

‘No this is just a nightmare. This isn’t true… I am just dreaming… this can;t be true … there is no way…’

Shaking her head, she wished that it was not the reality.

“You are lying… right? You are just lying… tell me the truth Brylle…”

Eyes filled with hope, Lea could not think straight at all.

“Tell you the truth that you wants to hear? I thought you love me?”

“I love you! I really do…”

Holding her cheeks, Lea took a step backward. Enough to remove the smile that Brylle had in an instant. As if what he just saw is but a sight he do not wish to see.

“If you love me, you would accept me for who I am. This is the real me Lea”

Lea cried. Not knowing what she would do, how she would act or even how she would talk to him.

“No… no…”

Shaking her head, she can’t accept that fact that Brylle is like that. She loves him, but of all people, why must he be a person that she hated more than anything else?

“Boss, we have to go”

A voice then speaks, shouting just from afar.

“Lea, we have to go”

‘He killed… he killed them just like that….’

shaking her head, she muttered with her numb hands.

“No! I won’t go with you… no…”

Not wanting the answer that she give, Brylle use his force to bring her with him. but with her hand able to reach Brylle’s hand, he didn’t notice how she manage to snatch it away from his hand.

“Put me down! Put me down or I will shoot myself”

Shouting on the top of her lungs, even Brylle was surprised with her actions.

“Lea, what are you doing?”

“I said put me down or I will shoot my head!!”

His heart stops for a moment. Realizing the very scene that was happening right in front of him

“Boss we have to go! The police are coming!!”

Brylle don’t know what to do, what to say at that moment. It is not what he wants to happen. All he wished was for lea to ba back in his arms. for her to be back home so that they could continue living a good life. Happy together… living forever… but…

“Lea, don’t do this”

It was the first time he feel much fright. It was the first time from a very long time… he was afraid to lose someone. That he feel as if his breathe would end any time soon.

“Put me down Brylle, I have nothing left for me…”

Crying, tears fall down to her cheeks, but that words she said makes Brylle be hurt too

“I am here…”

“The one who see lives of people that way? Even if I die I think you would just see me like them. Right?”

And the only thing he could do was call her name. For what she said is true. He is someone that does not care about the lives of the others. He is not someone that would have sympathy just to anyone he doesn’t know.

“You are different…” He mumbled.

“Lea-”

“I am not joking Brylle”

He doesn’t know what to do. What to say, what words he can utter to stop her. His body just move in its own.

“Put me down”

He did just as what she told him to do so. Not wanting her to shoot herself to death.

“I do just as what you says”

Smiling at him, Lea force it to be as sweet at it can be.

“I loved you… really. I did… but how can I love someone I could… never forgive?”

Thinking about her life, some weird things appeared in her memories. Just like that realization of losing someone. How she lost her granma… how she learned her father will never be back.

‘I don’t think there is still anything I can have to stay… is there?’

“Lea… don’t do this…”

Shaking his head, Brylle does not know what he would do. He feels helpless. As if just one wrong move and he could totally lose her

About to pull the trigger, someone shouted her name. as she looks at who it was, it is Aiden.

“LEA!!!”

‘Who would have thought I can still see you? I… I hope things works out well for you… Aiden. I hope you move on from the death of my twin… Wait… do I really have a twin? I also wonder’

And before they knew it, she already pull the trigger.

…

[It is a wonderful day, everyone. But not all of us had a wonderful day it seems. Right on your screen, the famous Lazarus Manor can be seen. It is a big news to all of us since it is a calm day and none knew this would happen. The manor was set on fire and lots of casualties was confirmed. The one who was responsible for the incident did not run manage to flee as he was caught by Mr. Aiden Lazarus. The owner of the Manor]

News fly all over the places. Many people look at what would happen next. Especially when the case about Lea Lazarus death was opened.

Medias and reporters did not leave and they all wants to know what happened. And indeed, the words of the jury was set in public for them to have lots of witnesses about the said matter.

All of them see Aiden as a calm and cold hearted person who really doesn’t like media to feast on what was happening on his life. It was a shock that he agreed on telling the world about one of the biggest events that happened to him.

[Mr. Lazarus, what can you tell about your cousin, Brylle Leonard?]

[I am pleased how he didn’t deny what he did. I never thought he would do that, especially to Lea. But will all the gathered information about all his bad deeds, I am glad things came to light]

[But Mr. Lazarus, what is your opinion about him having a mental illness?]

Flashes of the lights from the media can be seen on the screen. As well as numbers of microphone that was fixed in front of him.

[He is. No one can deny that. no human in his right mind would kill people so mercilessly. No human on his right mind would dare let his beloved see such cruel things. If so, he isn’t a human]

[Then do you say you agree with the court’s action with the matter? Is it fine for you that instead of jail he was in the psychiatric hospital]NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

[I dare not question their judgment]

[This would be our last question, what can you say about Paul Marney? He was said to be the mastermind of all of this but no one can tell where he is]

Looking at the screen, something was hiding behind his eyes.

[I just want to say that no matter where you are, punishment will have its way to you]

Leaving soon as he leave that words, even if he is just on the screen, Paul can’t help but throw the the remote on the television screen. There was a crack on it but he isn’t bothered.

Hair in mess, one can see tons of liquor bottles scattered all around his place.

“That fucking son of bitch…”

He mumbled glaring at the screen. Leaving a scowl, he look at the newspaper with Aiden’s face on it. There he pour some liquor and lit it on fire.

A smile can be seen on his lips as he saw how Aiden’s image was eaten by the burning fire.

“Just you wait.. just you wait..”
