Hell Marriage

Chapter 48: I want to hate you.

Connor’s POV

I took the underground stairs, two at a time.

I threw the door open, and there it was, the basket, this means?

Alaina did come here and she brought Carrissa.

I looked around the room carefully and quickly, no one’s here, but they were here not up to ten minutes ago.

Why are they doing this?, why did she help Carrissa escape?

Wait, why did I imprison Carrissa?

I imprisoned her because she made a plan to separate Ava and I.

Why did I imprison Alaina in the first place?.

Because she tried to kill Ava.

I released her because Ava wanted her out, she came out and helped Carrissa escape.

What could they be planing?, they have nothing in common, wait, I imprisoned both of them because they wanted to hurt Ava in some way, so they both have something in common, and if they’re both out, it means…. Ava!

I swear if they even lay a finger on her, I’ll kill them.

I thundered upstairs, running like never before.

“Ava!” I screamed on the top of my voice.

“Where’s Ava right now?” I asked a maid.

“Your room sir” She replied, bowing in greeting. I moved quickly to the second floor and to our room.

I kicked the door open.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The scene before me horrified me, Carrissa sat on the bed. She glanced at me, and for a second I saw fear in her eyes, Of course you should be, you should be very very Scared.

She looked wildly ahead, staring at something, I couldn’t take my eyes off her to see what she was staring at, the urge to kill her engulfed me.

“He killed both of them, he killed his brother for the throne and power, then killed his mother for standing in his way!” She said hurriedly. Anger consumed me, my demon fought for power and I released it

I finally lifted my gaze from her face and saw Ava sinking to her knees, I saw red.

Author’s POV

Connor moved towards Carrissa with the grace of a panther, he stalked his prey with the intensity of a leopard. Carrissa got to her feet unsteadily, fear overpowered her. She cowered away from Connor, where the hell is Alaina?, they’re partners in this.

“He killed them Ava!, he killed them, he took his Brother’s name and position!” She yelled. Ava gasped painfully. Her chest was aching badly, not from physical wound but from inner pain.

Carrissa moved back and hit her back against the wall. Connor moved towards her. Slowly and gracefully.

“No!, get away from me.” She yelled.

“He’s going to kill me like he killed them!” She cried out.

“Murderer!”

“Murderer”

“Murde…..” With long sharp claws, Connor severed her head from her body in one go.

“Oh shit” Nicholas said.

He got to the palace moments ago, he saw Connor running and ran after him, he got there just as Connor killed Carrissa.

He walked into the room and drew Connor to himself, right now, he’s a mindless creature, his demon has taken control over his senses, his eyes were smoky now, if he doesn’t control his demon soon enough, his eyes would change it’s color, then they better expect hell in human form.

“Logan” Nicholas whispered gently, trying to bring him back.

Blood stained his stark white shirt as he hugged Connor, he stared blindly at the blood splattered everywhere. He glanced around and saw Ava on her knees.

She looks shocked and tears clung to her face, and more tears streamed down her face, oh no, Nicholas almost moaned out.

What a mess

“Ava, she’s here” He whispered silently to Connor.

Connor stired. Ava’s name seem to be the magic word.

Connor blinked his eyes and stared numbly at Ava.

“Ava” He whispered.

Nicholas moved away from him, sensing his need to go to her.

Connor moved towards Ava slowly.

“No!” Ava shouted

“Don’t come close!” Ava shouted. Connor stood transfixed for a minute, confusion written all over his face.

“You killed your own family” Ava whispered, she shrinked down on the floor.

“Ava..” Connor said warningly, that topic’s very sensitive to him.

“What?, you’ll kill me if I talk about it?” Ava asked.

“You’ll kill me like you killed her?”

“You killed her because she was telling the truth!” Ava yelled.

She stood up, holding the chair for support.

“You don’t understand, I……” Connor tried to talk.

“You what?, you’re a monster!” Ava shouted. Cyprian rushed into the room, The palace was on it’s feet, Ava was yelling her skull out.

“Yes!, I killed my brother and took his name but….”

“Get out!” Ava shouted.

“Ava…”

“Nicholas please, you’re no different from him, you all knew this and kept quiet about it!” Ava stopped Nicholas from talking.

“Ava!” Cyprian shouted. By now, he understands what’s going on perfectly, and he won’t stand by and let Ava accuse people when he knows what really happened. Nicholas already explained it to him.

“Stop saying things you’ll regret later, you don’t know what really happened…..”

“No” Connor raised his hand to silence Cyprian.

“What really happened uhn?, he took me to see the fucking painting, if he’s really innocent he would have told me what happened, it would have been better if the truth came from him than from her, and he killed her.” Ava gasped, “Seven years Connor, you never told me anything, fine, you were angry with me, but couldn’t you have…..”

“You even marked me!, we mated, and you still didn’t trust me enough to tell me!” Ava shouted,

Nicholas and Cyprian gasped, obviously Connor didn’t tell Nicholas about it, and it’s quite a surprise to Cyprian

“Please.” Ava said, joining her palms together pleadingly.

“Please, get out, go away I can’t stand you” She said, looking at Connor.

“Just once… let me explain…..” Connor started to say

“You’ve had years to do that, to tell me the truth, but you didn’t, and I honestly don’t want to hear it anymore” Ava said.

“Now get out.” Ava said pointing to the door.

Connor stared at her for a second, and turned to go.

“Ava you Can’t….” Nicholas started to say.

“Let’s go” Connor said, his voice void of emotion.

He got to the door and pulled it open.

“Just where do you think you’re going Logan Donnacha?” Ava said.

Connor turned to look at her, and her expression had him confused for a second.

“Uhn?” Cyprian asked.

“You’re smiling?” Nicholas asked, surprise written over his face.

Ava wiped her cheek and laughed softly.

“How do you like my acting?” She asked smiling, a hand curved on her waist in a pose.

************

Alaina was kept in a room till it was dark.

“He’ll see you now” Someone said from outside the door.

Alaina got to her feet unsteadily.

She had sneaked out of the palace with Calvina very early this morning.

They got to the airport before there was any trace of sunlight in the sky, they boarded the plane and were out of Myths before long,

they got to their Destination and Calvina went away for Five minutes, when she came back, Alaina’s jaw dropped, she looked like a female body guard, with a black suit, the suit didn’t come with a skirt but with long ankle length pants.

With her heels clinking on the concrete floor,

Her long shining earrings, red coloured lips, smart sun glasses, and the style with which she walked, her hair flowed behind her.

If Alaina had not seen her working as a maid she would have argued if somebody else tells her this new person had ever worked as a maid.

By now the sun was already rising, therefore Calvina didn’t have much time to indulge Alaina and let latter stare at her to her heart content. But a little taunt will do.

“Close your mouth, the Car’s waiting” Calvina said smirking.

A man got down from the car and Calvina flew into his arms and they kissed, laughing like high school lovers.

“Allan!” Calvina exclaimed after they broke their kiss.

“You’ve been well?” The man asked furrowing his brow.

“Yes” Calvina said smiling.

“You look thinner” Allan said suspiciously,

“I know” Calvina said laughing lightly.

“I’ll tell you all about it, but we don’t have much time now, we have to.” Calvina said.

Allan nodded. He was pleased to see her.

He stared at Alaina for a minute, who knows what Jaguar wants from her?.

He inclined his head in her direction.

“Miss.” He said and shifted his gaze to Calvina.

“You did well” He said and Calvina Clicked her tongue.

“You’ll ride with her in the other car.” Allan said sliding back into his car.

Calvina and Alaina rode behind him in the other car, with four other cars following them.

They took Alaina to a safe house.

They were lucky to get there, just as the sun rose.

Since then they kept Alaina in a room without food and water, nor blood and now it’s time to finally Meet him.

The door opened and Alaina stepped out,

“This way” A lady in professional clothing said, moving away.

Alaina followed the lady through many corridors.

Finally they got to a door.

“Sir?” The lady called at the door.

“Send her in” A masculine voice said.

The lady opened the slowly and soundlessly.

Alaina walked into the room, and the door closed softly behind her, but she couldn’t care less.

the beauty of the room engulfed her, For a minute she thought she was in some ancient roman setting, the paintings on the wall, the rug on the floor, the fire place, chairs, everything In the room screamed ancient and Roman, but it was…… breath taking and lovely.

“Like the scene?” A voice said.

She jerked her head towards the voice.

A man moved into the light, she didn’t even notice he was there but now that she can see him, surprise mixed with shock settled on her Expression.

“You!” She exclaimed.
