258 The best thing (1/2)
”No! Please, don't do this to me, Alex. Please!” Abi pleaded. Her voice shook as she tried to pull her hands away from him. Her mind was going numb, the pain in her heart had reached its peak and she didn't know if it would be able to take any more. It hurt so much that her tears had dried up and her body lost all its strength. If not for the rope that was tied around her, she would have fallen to her knees.
The smoke filled her lungs. There was no way she couldn't breathe it in. The smoke made her feel dizzy. No, please… she couldn't succumb to this. If she did, her Alex, her husband would… she would lose him forever.
Abi gritted her teeth and she begged him again and again.
”Alex… you said you love me. I am your wife! You can't do this to me! Please! I don't know what I would do without you! You are my reason for living. Please, don't!,” she cried in agony, filling the room with unbearable pain.
The storm outside still raged. The rain kept pounding on the roof, the thunder roared and the lightning flashed through the dark curtain, mirroring the turmoil inside that dark room. It was as if the world knew that something momentous was going to happen and it showed up to watch it happen.
Alex nearly broke down as he watched her. She was in so much pain. This girl didn't deserve any of this. He needed this to end now. Her pain needed to end now.
”She isn't hypnotised yet! Why?” he hissed in an ice cold voice as he looked at Xavier. His eyes were no longer calm. It was filled with an intent to kill - to kill Xavier - right then.
Xavier immediately felt the immense danger and he lifted his hand, with his thumb ready to press the button. He knew that even the tiniest mistake, a single moment of dropping his guard down, would cost him his life and he'd end up failing his mission. This was something he would never allow. He knew that this was probably going to be his only chance to kill Alex - the only and last chance he would ever have.
”Then, that means the incense isn't working on her?” Xavier told him, alert as ever.
”No, that's impossible!” Alex's voice was firm as Abi continued begging.
”Then why is she not affected by it?!” Xavier lost it. His eyes were glowing red now and the hair on his skin stood up. Alex's aura was triggering his natural defensive instincts. ”Just do it now, Alex or I'll blow her up!!” he threatened, dead serious, showing his canines for good measure.
Alex's jaws clenched and Abi wailed even louder. ”No, Alex! No! Don't do this, don't do this!”
Alex looked at Abi and he kissed her eyes, down to her lips.
”I'm so sorry,” he whispered and Abi pleaded even harder, cried even harder, feeling like her throat was bleeding from all her pleading.
”Don't make me wait! Do it now, Alex! Plunge it straight into your chest!!” Xavier butted in, impatience and fear evident in his eyes.
”No, I need to wait. She needs to forget everything! She has to be hypnotized before killing me or she won't forget!” Alex demanded. His authoritative aura, the kind of authority nobody in this world could ever ignore, blazed from him and Xavier found himself being fucked up.
