The Sweetest Temptation
Chapter 144: Afterlife

Chapter 144: Afterlife

"Now where were we?" Alina grinned, turning back to Beatrix who was silently watching the scene unfold before her eyes.

This was it. The moment that she’d leave this cruel world once and for all. She knew she was the one that Alina was going to get rid of.

The only thing that she could feel was the loud sound of her heart thumping against her chest.

Her heart beat for Damien and Rhys. She couldn’t imagine what they were both going through right now. She glanced at Damien and saw how tense his body was.

"I’ll f**king kill you!" Damien spat standing up to his feet as he stride towards Alina.

"Damien! No! Leave it!" Beatrix begged making him stop in his tracks

"Awhh, would you look at that? Adorable. I’d say, I am getting all choked up. Fetch me a tissue." Alina snickered.

"You crazy bitch!" Damien retaliated.

"Damien!" Beatrix put in. "Stop!"

"Any last words?" Alina asked, loading the weapon that would soon end her life.

Beatrix wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of seeing her cower in fear.

She had given up her heart to Damien and Rhys and maybe after her death they would be happier.

But that wasn’t possible but she really hoped so.

She didn’t want to tie them down in her love that she wasn’t ever able to complete. She wanted to set them free into a world of happiness.

"No." She shook her head, looking down to the ground and closing her eyes.

Memories of Damien and Rhys played behind her closed lids and she smiled.

But as she waiting for the bullet to leave the body of the gun and pierce her soul, all she got was a calm silence that lasted no more than a few seconds.

"I have one," Damien said, breaking the silence. "I hope you go to fucking hell."

"Well, well, well, " Alina smirked. "If we are going to reunited there why not? Maybe Beatrix will still get to see us get married. What do you think Beatrix? Should we all go straight to hell to have our happily ever after?"

Damien frowned, he tried hard not to look at Beatrix though, afraid that if he did, the walls that he had built up so high would crumble. He needed to be strong right now, and he couldn’t if he saw her.

Not now. Not when he had to eliminate the problem that was bent on destroying his life and get rid of it for good. He wanted to attack Alina once she got distracted. He took a step closer.

"Stay right there , Damien." Alina warned."Wouldn’t want any holes in Beatrix’s pretty face now, would you?"

At the mention of Beatrix , Damien immediately stopped in his tracks.

His blood boiled and his jaws clenched so hard that he was afraid his teeth would shatter.

"That’s right lover boy. A step back. We psychopaths need a bit of privacy or in otherwords, personal space. Alina declared, smirking as she waved the gun about then pointing it to Beatrix.

"You know, if I am going to back to my dad’s hellhole then I want to make my conviction worthy. I feel like killing someone is on my agenda today. Oh and look!" She joyfully chirped. "My gun is on you, Beatrix."

Beatrix was in total fear, her eyes flickering back to Damien’s mirrored expression. She nodded to him only for him to retaliate in a stern shake of his head. He mouthed no towards her. Her whole body began to tremble and she felt entirely vulnerable, no longer could her legs bear her own weight.

"I really liked you Beatrix." Alina said. I have never had a friend before but you treated me so well, I almost had second thoughts about my plans. Almost.

"If I wasn’t desperate right now and if you hadn’t been the one to snatch the only man I have ever wanted than maybe we could have been the best of friends and go on boat rides and gossip about men and do makeups" Alina sighed.

"I have always wanted to have those cute girlie moments."

"Alina.. !" Beatrix whispered her name softly.

She could see her tense for a second before she maintained her facade.

Beatrix realized how lonely Alina was. Now it all made sense.

"She wouldn’t want to be friends with a crazy bitch like you. That’s why you’re lonely and miserable. No one wants you Alina. Not even your father." Damien spat.

Alina let out a mirthless chuckle, "Hey! Loverboy, watch it would you! Your sweetheart has a gun aimed at her head. Becareful with your words or I might get really angry and harm her."

"Come here." Alina beckoned at Beatrix with the gun.

Beatrix hesitantly moved towards Alina. Once she reached her, Alina cocked the gun up against Beatrix’s forehead and her nasty hands over her body as she painfully grabbed neck causing her to cough.

"Let her go." Damien gritted out.

"Do you take me as a fool?" Alina chuckled.

"If you want to make it out of here alive, let her go." Damien pressed once again. His patience was wearing off. Beatrix was in pain and that meant he was in pain.

But Alina only tightened her grip on her, causing Beatrix to wince.

"Hurt her." Damien provoked. "I dare you."

"Look who’s talking." Alina laughed. "The guy without the gun."

"I don’t need a fucking gun." Damien gritted

I’m going to kill you, and it’s going to be a slow and torturous death." He shouted.

Alina chuckled, "That sounds fun. I like a little pain but let me remind you, that I have your girl. And if you plan on keeping her alive, then I recommend you remember who’s in charge... I can do a lot of things to her, Damien." Alina sneered. "

You think you’re the only powerful one here?"

"What is it that you want?" Damien breathed out. "Let her go, and I’ll give you anything."

"I want her life." Alina spat out. "I want to see her dead. Now, will you give that to me?"
