Life of lies

Chapter 49 - Wildflower 🌹

Aria's POV

The punch to my injured stomach weakened every fiber in my body. It sent sharp pains all over my body

Where the heck are my family members?!

If Elisa succeeds in killing me, I will never forgive them, even in the spirit realm

"Someone help me!" I scream, but it only comes out as a choked sob.

"Aww....poor thing. Too bad no one will come to your rescue, because  your elder brother, Lawson is soundly asleep.....I might have made him inhale something....I don't know" She giggles

Oh God

I'm gonna die

Of all the scenarios I've thought of about dying, I never imagined that I'll be dying like this; in a hospital, helpless and alone, in the hands of my former best friend.

"Elisa please! I beg you. Don't do this" I weep.

"Prepare to meet your God!" She brings out her glistening knife and flashes me an evil smile.
I tried to get up and run, but my body was just too weak to move.

I will still die anyway, no one can save me now

So I just shut my eyes tight, waiting for the violent piercing of the night through my skin, but all I hear is the sudden slamming of the door.

I squint my eyes to see who just barged in.

It's Carl!

What's he doing here? Elisa might try to hurt him.

"Who the hell are you?!" She seethes.
Carl's eyes land on me, before quickly turning back to Elisa.

"Game over, Miss!" He says in a calm, yet threatening voice.

Carl's POV

The sight in front of me, made me really mad. I could feel the pumping of my blood in my veins.

"Who the hell are you?!" The demon asks.
Aria laid on the floor, clutching her body, in an effort to protect herself.
This isn't what I promised her. I promised to protect her, even if it involves taking my life for hers, I will protect  her.

Carl Walton never makes empty promises.

"Game over, Miss"

She runs towards me, clutching her knife tightly.
I've dealt with worse situations than this.

I grab her hand and twist it, making sure it gives the desired effect.

Maybe today, I'll do what I have never done before; physically hurting a lady.

She struggles in my hold, in a swift move, I place the knife below her chin.

"One more move, and I'll cut off your head" I threaten.

She laughs...she actually laughs.

"You're a gentleman, you won't hurt a lady" she replies.
I tilt my head, in order to see her facial reaction.

"Really?"

She turns to face me too, I could feel her disgusting breath on my face.

"Yes" she violently hits me in the groin, before freeing herself and dashing out.

"Fuck!" I groan, that's when the worthless doctors and security guards rushed in
"She just ran out you fools! Go after her! Don't let her escape!" I yell, gesturing to the door.

Nora/Elisa's POV

I run as fast as my legs could carry me, ignoring the excruciating pain on my left leg.
I can't let them catch up with me!
No way in hell.
