CHAPTER 15
"Now I have to set my car on fire because of that imbecile," he said loudly to himself after he parked his car. "I would have killed him, myself," he got out of the car. "Trying to take my wife away from me. My favourite car," he opened the trunk and took out the diesel. "What if...," he looked aside.
From a distance, he saw a woman running towards him.
"What is she doing at such a dangerous place?" he looked at her.
She ran as fast as she could when she saw a car parked from a distance. She got close to him.
"Wait! Is that not Jasmine? Jasmine!"
He ran towards her. He got to her and held her hand.
"Getaway from me. I know I have wronged you but stop haunting me. You just a ghost. Please leave me alone," she begged in fear.
"No no, Jasmine you might have heard but I am not dead. Open your eyes sweetheart. Look at me, touch me."
She stepped back.
"Okay okay I faked my own death so that I can save Adela from that detective. And I know he has been holding you as hostage. I am not dead but still alive and kicking. You see," he took his hand and put it on his chest. "My heart is even beating right now," he smiled.
She threw herself into his arms and cried hysterically. He gave her water so she could calm down. After few minutes they sat in the car and she wiped the tears.
"I am scared," she sniffed.
"What are you scared off. What happened to your cheek? Did someone beat you up?"
"Yes! It's him."
"Him? Who?"
"James. He killed Bianca and when Adela held him at gunpoint, I managed to escape. I wanted to come with her but she refused. I am scared on what he will do to her."
"That sick bastard has got my wife?! You could have told me. Do you know where they are?"
"Yes, I do."
"Dammit!" he started the car.
Jasmine gave him direction to the house. Few minutes they parked the car few distance away.
"I am going there and you call my dad. Explain to him.. I mean tell him everything. He should call the police." He was about to open the car door when she held his hand.
"Be careful. He is armed."
"I will."
He got out of the car. He headed to the house and took a deep breath. He was about to open the door, when James opened it.
"We meet again."
"Bastard! What are you doing here?"
"Stevie!" cried out Adela as she stood beside James.
"My lady. I am here for you. Let my wife go James. This is between me and you," said Stevie getting inside the house as James took a step back holding Adela.
"I thought you were dead."
"You thought wrong. I am always a survivor. Do you think you were going to get rid of me that easily. Come on. I told you I am smarter than you. The cops are coming there is no way to run James. You better put that gun down and fight me like a man. You have always wanted this to fight me."
"Step aside Adela!" ordered James.
She didn't listen to him but tried to fight him. Unfortunately he pushed her with so much forcethat she stumbled and hit her head on the floor.
"Adela!" shouted Stevie running to her.
"Stop right there or I will shoot you," said James.
"You are a coward. You can't fight me like a man. I am not surprised, Bianca has been the Boss in this game. She controlled you. If it wasn't for her you wouldn't be here. Now you see how you couldn't do anything by yourself. You are nothing but a child born out of wedlock. No one but a killer."
"You don't know what you saying man."
"Oh yes, I do. Fight me like a man. Coome!"
James got close to Stevie and attacked him first. He punched on the nose and Stevie started bleeding. Stevie clenched his fist with anger and when James was about to throw another fist. Stevie whacked him in the jaw. He chopped him in the neck and knocked him out cold, his head hitting the floor after being knocked out. He lay unconcious on the floor. Thinking that he is dead, Syevie turned and went to his wife.
"My love!" he held her tightly in his arms.
He helped her to get up.
"I am so sorry Stevie. I should have listened to you."
"No no it's okay. I am glad that you okay."
"Stevie!" she shouted pushing him aside when he saw him pointing the gun at him, and was about to pull the trigger. While his hand gripped the butt of his gun tighter. He pulled the trigger and he felt her warm hand grip him. Suddenly he heard the crack of the gunshot twice as loud as thunder. It was terryfying, then the world became silent. He stared at her in horror. They say a bullet travels at speed that is a thousand times faster than the faster human but somehow Adela managed to turn around acting as his shield, just in time to stop the bullet from hitting Stevie.
"What have you done?!" shouted Stevie.
James was about to fire again when he realised he had run out of bullets. With so much anger he walked to him and lifted him up to his feet.
"I wanted to kill you not her," said James.
He punched him, banging his head on the wall and the floor. He punched him again and again until Jasmine walked in and stopped him.
"He is dead Stevie. The police are here. Adela is bleeding."
