Chapter 145: Bang

Damien glared at her, "Do you really think you’ll get away after killing her?!" Damien challenged.

Alina shrugged, "I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not. But at least you will still be lonely and miserable and I think I can die in peace knowing that." Alina shrugged.

"Fuck you!" Damien growled in anger. "I will haunt you in the afterlife if you fucking kill her."

But Alina ignored Damien. Her smirk pulled up her lips as she played with Beatrix’s hair. Nerves fluttered in her chest.

"What about I kill you first, then Damien and after that I kill myself? We all can have fun in the afterlife. We are all sinners I’m sure we could have lots of crazy fun with the devil" Alina sneered.

"No!" Beatrix cried out. "Don’t do this Alina, I’m begging you."

Tears were once more trickling down her cheeks and she looked at Damien as she spoke, taking in as much of him as she could.

"Kill me." She sobbed. "I’m the obstacle right in your fairtayle. Damien had nothing to do with this. It’s me who had bewitched and charmed him. Kill me and let him go. End all of this. End all of it now and just kill me!"

"NO!" Damien shouted. "Beatrix , don’t say that!"

"Damien please." She begged. "Damien , this was all my fault. I shouldn’t have ever come into your life. I should have died a long time ago.

But god was great and he gave me you and Rhys. He gave me a little bit of happiness in my bitter life and for that, I will be thankful. But I won’t let you get hurt because of me . Let me go,Damien . I was never meant to be yours."

"No Beatrix !" Damien frantically shook his head.

"Our story will not end like this. You were meant to be mine and you will always be mine.

I won’t give up on us!"

"Please Damien ." she sobbed.

"Alina please let her go. I will do anything you want!" Damien urged. Please, I’m begging you, just let her go."

"No Damien, I-"

"Enough!" Alina shouted while she chuckled hysterically.

"Well, this is entertaining. So fucking romantic that I’m getting butterflies. But I’m sorry but any last words? I’m sure this is enough last words anyway but since I’m a good person I will let you say the three letter words too." She smiled.

"Damien, now any last words?" Alina asked.

Tears were flooded out of Damien’s eyes as he looked at Beatrix. If this was the last time his eyes would see, then he wanted to look at her, look at her for as long as he had. She looked at him, shaking her head and whispering ’I’m sorry’ as if any of this was her fault.

Alina lowered her head to Beatrix’s ears, "What if we both don’t get the guy? What if we are both miserable together ? Then we will get something to bond over as friends right?"

She whispered lowly in Beatrix’s ears. Beatrix’s eyes bulged with fear when she realized what she was planning to do.

"Say goodbye to the man we both love." Alina chuckled.

Before she knew it, Beatrix mustered up the last bit of strength that she had in her body, and elbowed Alina in the stomach running towards Damien.

BANG!

It all happened in a split second. Damien frowned as Beatrix ran straight at him. But just as she reached her destination, her body jolted back into him, taking the impact of the bullet. The bullet that was meant for him.

The bullet that she took.

"Beatrix!" Damien shouted as his arms wrapped around Beatrix who came toppling down. Her eyes were filled with tears and pain, enough to make her unconscious but she had to stay awake. She had to stay awake longer, just to be in his arms.

"Beatrix !" Damien screamed. "Baby!" He began to cry. Kneeling onto the floor with Beatrix in his arms. Her head was in his lap and his hand was on top of hers which covered the wound gush gushed red with blood.

He shouted looked frantically around. Xavier who was limping and a groups of men holding guns entered the room and grabbed Alina but it was too late the damage was already done.

"Beatrix why’d you do that?" He sobbed. "Baby, why’d to take that bullet?"

"Shhhh..." Beatrix whispered, lifting her hands that were now stained with her blood. She ran them through his hair and she looked into his eyes.

Absorbing every millisecond that she could have with him.

"Beatrix , stay awake!" He cupped her face.

"You’re gonna be fine. Baby just stay awake."

He begged.

But for Beatrix this was it.

Ever since she was a little, she

listened to the fairytales that her mom told her, wanting her OWN.

She had wanted a Prince Charming to rescue her from her overprotective father and brothers..

But instead of a Prince Charming she got two broken men who didn’t even know how to love. But for her, they tried their best each day.

She wanted to live each day to its fullest, in the deepest of love and grow old with them. It wasn’t possible but she had hoped for that one day.

She wanted to bear their kids and raise a family together with them.

Her life had never been perfect but who’s life ever was. Fairytales may not have existed but she had found her own in Damien and Rhys . They may not be a real prince but they ruled her heart. Their love may not have lasted long but it was the purest love could ever get. She may not have been able to grow old with them but they made her the happiest she had been.

Her dreams never came true but she was happy. Only if she could see Rhys too before she left this cruel world.

Beatrix wanted to press her head against Damien’s heart and listen to his heartbeat as her heart gave out.

"I love you, Damien. Tell Rhys I love him too." She whispered. She may have been weak but her voice was strong.

"Beatrix I-" Damien began, but Beatrix didn’t let him continue.

"I love you. Both of you" She said, letting out her final breath before her eyes closed and her body went limp in his arms.
