Chapter 5

Chapter 5

It's been a few days and I don't think I can bear it anymore. The passion inside me is getting stronger and I cannot pull myself away from it, it's attracting me and there's no turning back from it. It's started and I cannot turn back now, I have to move forward. I cannot hold it inside me.

I grit my teeth, not being able to focus on the file in my hand. I emit a deep breath and called Christian, "Hey, Dude... I need a favour."

"Yeah sure, Tell me." He said.

"I want to end this. I cannot take it anymore, create a situation and end this." I said.

"Gotcha, you just do what Kathrine told you and leave the rest to me. Come to dinner tonight at my place. I will ask Sophie to get Candice there as well. I will sort your matter out." He said. I smirked and replied, "Thanks.." I cut the call and went to have a survey over the shipment to pass my time.

"Who came to Officer James' place?" I asked, taking a look around.

"Sir, Someone named William Cray." I hummed and asked, "So, how's he?"

"Not like those you have bribed, Mr Moretti." a voice came from behind. I turned and spoke of the devil and seemed like it's him.

"Well, Hello Mr Moretti. Nice to meet you." He offered me his hand. I shook hands and didn't say anything.

"Survey?" He asked, looking around. "Yeah, want to join?" I offered. George looked at me in horror, looking away knowing what I am about to do and making sure it would happen.

"Yeah, sure." We began to take a troll around with George following from behind knowing my intentions all too well.

"Took you long enough to meet me, Officer," I asked, lighting up a cigarette.

"Just gathering some information about you." He said.

"From Austin?" I asked, referring to the man whom I told to give information about me to the new officer. He stopped in his tracks and was stunned. I turned to him and smirked, "What? Didn't Austin tell you about the price for the information?" I asked him as I walked close to him. A look of terror formed over his face as he moved back, knowing he was trapped in my web like a vulnerable butterfly from the very beginning. My smirk grew dark, I walked close and said in a low tone, "Life."

"Y-You c-can't be s-serious." He said knowing he is stuck and there's no way out. He was about to take out his gun but the people around me point their guns at him. I walked close and was one step away from him. I looked at him icily and told him in a faint warning tone, "Listen, Officer, you are in my territory and here, if the thought of hurting me crosses your mind and people here will take your life. Keep it in your mind." I then moved away. He was breathless, looking here and there frantically with sweating rolling down from his forehead. He knows there's no way out of it. He was stuck.

"Don't be afraid, Officer. It all depends on you. What do you want?" I asked in a voice louder than a whisper. He looked around knowing his no will cost him his life and he has to reach the officer station before it.

"I will t-think about it." He said, taking a step back. I put my hand in the air and everyone put their guns down and began to work.

He turned to leave as I asked George, "How many people he has in his family?"

"No one, Sir." He said. I nodded in understanding and took the gun from George and shot him, "Good, then no one gives a fuck about his existence." I said and walked closer to him. I lost at him, struggling to keep himself alive. I narrowed my eyes at him and smirked, "Bye, Officer." I smiled wickedly and shot his head. I kept enough distance so the blood won't splatter over me. I sighed and gave George the gun back. "Take care of his body. If he came here on duty then he never came here but if he came here just to say 'hi' then we just have him a warm welcome. You know what to do." I said to George. He nodded, "Yes, Sir."

I then went home and looked at my hand devoid of any emotions, how easy it is to take a life but how difficult it is to save one. What I am about to do... Is it right? After losing trust, how can I let it happen again? When everything is shattered then why am I desperately trying to build it over and over again? This pain of mine worth it? What if the same thing that happened to Lydia happened again but then a voice from inside me tells me to let go and not think about it. I want to grasp this ray of light before me and never let it go. Even if things won't go the same way, I will make them. This time, I will use force if I must- by all mean, Candice will be mine.

I have done so many things and there's no use in talking because I have gone too far and now, only the path ahead exist. There's no turning back, All these years are not in vain.

In my journey, the path forward exists, my destination is not clear but I am sure it will lead me to something beautiful and worth remembering.
