Chapter 165 - OBSESSED 4
I was so scared at the moment that I could barely breathe. Tears drift down my flushed cheeks like an endless waterfall as I watch Vince land a blow on Ace that made the latter stagger backwards.
Vince wasn't content yet, he landed another blow, this time it landed on Ace's jaw. The force was enough for his brother to stumble on the floor with his lips now bleeding.
Watching the scene breaks my heart into multiple pieces. And the fact that I couldn't do anything to stop it, breaks my heart the most.
"You have no idea how long I waited for this to happen." Vince said ominously. His sharp gaze never leaves his brother.
Ace lifted his face so he could look at step brother. He wiped the blood at the corner of his lips. "I'd been waiting for this too…. You destroyed my family and now is the day you shall pay for it." He replied in a cold manner that could have frozen the depths of the underworld.
Vince responded with a sarcastic grin. "You took away what was mine. I'm just taking her back."
"Phoenix was never yours. And I swear, as long as I live, you will never have the chance to make her yours." Ace vowed in a voice as hard as steel.
Vince's face twisted into an ugly mask of rage. "You will stand in my way as long as you're alive, that is why I'm going to take this chance to kill you and take the woman you love."
Without warning, he landed a kick into Ace's stomach. He fell to the ground, thrashing in pain.
The agonizing groan coming from Ace's seems to please Vince more. His lips were curled into a triumphant smile as he repeatedly kicked him.
Ace couldn't fight because Vince's gun was directed to him. As much as he wanted to fight back, he was afraid the gun would accidentally fire and unintentionally hit either of us.
As I watched my lover beaten into a pulp, I could almost feel his pain too. It hurts like hell to witness the man I love tortured because of me.
I want to scream but I couldn't even utter a sound so I just look at Ace helplessly rolling in pain, bruised and beaten up.
"How does it feel to see your lover slowly die in front of you, Phoenix?" Vince slowly turned to me. His mouth devilishly grinning as if he was so satisfied with what he did.
"I planned to torture your husband until he couldn't take it anymore but since I'm running out of time I will speed up the process. I will kill him now. The police might arrive soon so I need to escape and take you with me before they arrive."
My eyes widened. No! No! I screamed helplessly but no one could hear my silent plea.
"Say goodbye to your husband Phoenix…." Vince said. Slowly, he aimed his gun towards Ace who hadn't recovered from being beaten up. He's still curled on the floor, clutching his stomach while trying to overcome the pain.
I looked towards the gun which landed on Catherine's head. It's impossible for me to reach it when I can't move an inch. And even if I managed to pick the gun, my fingers were tied behind my back and I wouldn't be able to fire the gun properly.
All hopes escaped from my body. So this is the end of us? I thought miserably.
I couldn't bear to see Ace slowly die. I just can't. I would die too.
Life with him had been a chaotic roller coaster but after all these years he was still the only one I could imagine sharing my whole life with. And despite everything that happened between us, I love him. And now, thinking that he will be gone forever, brings me unimaginable pain.
Please lord help us…. I prayed as tears moved down my cheeks. Please don't allow evil to win. I pleaded inwardly.
Vince grabs Ace by the collar and swings the gun into his face. He falls and his head bumps into the floor. His head starts bleeding.
Watching the red liquid flow down his face stabbed my fragile heart with an imaginary knife. It feels as if I'm being beaten too.
"It's over Ace. Say your last words."
"Go to hell." He sputtered, blood leaking on his bruised lips.
"You're going to hell first, not me." Vince said and pressed the gun to Ace's head.
I sobbed as I watched the scene slowly unfold. I have never been this scared my whole life.
I closed my eyes tightly until I saw starbursts in my eyes. My lips trembled into a silent prayer.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I flinched as the sound of gunshots reverberated on the four corners of the kitchen then a loud thud followed as a body dropped to the floor.
My tears flowed more abundantly this time and my shoulders shook uncontrollably. I was so afraid to open my eyes, for I will not be able to bear the morbid scene which is about to welcome my sight.
Seeing Ace lying on the floor in a pool of blood would be a sight I will never forget even after death.
All the strength that was left in me slowly drained from my body. Slowly, I forced my eyes open and unexpectedly my mouth dropped to the floor.
Ace was very much alive and the man lying on the floor bathing in a pool of blood was Vince.
I blinked my eyes several times just to make sure I wasn't just imagining things. When my eyes cleared with tears, the scene in front of me remained the same.
I was still shocked when a voice beside me spoke.
"Phoenix? Are you alright?" It was Catherine Grace.
When I looked up to her, I saw my friend standing on her feet, her left hand clutching the wound on her right shoulder and in her stretched right hand I saw her holding a gun.
