Chapter 59
**** MELINA P. O. V ****
When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was in a dark room. I looked around to see if I could figure out how I got here. Then I thought about how some men at the party had taken me away.
I yelled, “Help me! Somebody help!” as I started to cry.
I heard a man behind the doors ask, “Why should anyone help you?” When the door opened and a man walked in, I got scared. He wasn’t someone I knew.
I stepped back in fear and asked, “Who are you? What do you want from me?” Then I saw that my hands were tied.
“The first thing you should ask is what Jason Emerson did this time,” he said, “because I know this isn’t the first time you’ve been in trouble because of him.” Then I realized he was one of Jason’s enemies.
I asked him to let me go because I had no idea what he was talking about. He laughed.
“Of course you don’t, but right now you’re the only thing I can use to get what I want,” he said.
“What is wrong with you? Are you that scared? Jason hurt you without looking for your weak point, and here you are like a coward going for his girlfriend. If you are a man, why can’t you go straight to his face and do your worst? You know you are nothing compared to his power and bravery, and that’s why you all go for the ladies. What a shame.” I rapped in anger, and he hit me hard in the face, making my head fall down in pain
“You can’t talk until I tell you to. Now shut up and let me say what I need to. Then we can go on with my plan,” he said, and I turned my head to look at him.
“Before you say anything, just know that Jason will be here soon and will do what he does best: kill you and save you from your miserable self,” I told him, and he smiled.
He looked out the window and said, “That’s just what I want.”
My heart started beating very fast, and I started to feel very weak. I then thought back to what the doctor had said, and I got scared about the baby.
“Now, I’ll tell you why you’re here and why you can’t get away from me.”
“Jason Emerson killed the Bastods, both the husband and wife. Joan and Kyle were devastated because they loved their parents so much and they weren’t old enough to work.
“Soon, they grew up and were able to get revenge for their parents, who had done nothing wrong. They knew that if they went to Jason and killed him that way, he wouldn’t suffer.”
“So they went after his mother and cut off her head. You caught Joan, and then he and his brother did what they thought was best for her, even cutting off the finger I was going to put this on!” he yelled, pulling a ring out of his pocket. I was dumbfounded.
I thought, “So he was going to marry Joan.”
I told him, “You should be glad she’s not dead, because my friend and I begged them not to kill her or her brother,” and he went crazy.
“You think I would be doing this if she was still alive, but she died after two days because the Emerson Brothers made her lose so much blood!”
“She’s dead, and I didn’t get to ask her to marry me because she died fighting for her life!”
“I’ve noticed that Jason is happy because of you and that baby inside you. But if I take you away from him, he’ll be sad, even if it’s the last thing I do on Earth,” he said, making my eyes widen.
I was shocked and asked, “You know I’m pregnant, right?”
He pointed a gun at me and said, “You think I’d just sit down without doing any research? That’s a lie. I know you’re pregnant, and I know you and the baby won’t see Jason again.
“Oh my God, please don’t do this. You don’t have to be a monster,” I said, and my heart started to beat very fast. My head was getting so heavy that it was hard to keep it on my head.
“When you had the chance, you should have told Jason that. They were threatening Joan, and you were right there.
“So I can’t just kill you. “Torturing you is the best,” he said as he put a knife in front of me.
I cried out, “Please don’t!” He took my pinky finger and put the knife on it. When he started to move it, I screamed louder than I ever had in my whole life.
“Melina!!!
“I heard Jason yell, and hearing his voice made me very happy.
He stood up with the gun in his hand and said, “Look who’s here,” leaving me to cry.
**** JASON P. O. V ****
I yelled at Dave through the window, “Don’t you dare touch her!” as I held one of Dave’s men in front of me and pointed a gun at his head.
“I already did. “I thought her pinky finger wouldn’t be useful afterward since that’s not where the ring will stay,” he said as he bent down and picked Melina up.
She looked tired, and blood was dripping from her finger. When she looked at me helpless, it broke my heart.
“Let my people go, or this time I’ll go for the neck. “Then your baby dies too,” he said, and my eyes got really big.
I looked at Ryan and gave him a sign with my eyes.
“And anyone who moves will also die. He said, “Drop all your weapons,” and he held up the gun. I swallowed hard.
I let go of the person I was with, and Ryan did too. Harrison stood behind us, and we both put down our weapons.
The men started to move away from us and toward the house. I saw Dave looking at the men, so I decided it was time to do something.
When Ryan called my name, I quickly bent down to pick up the gun.
“JASON!
“He yelled, and when I looked up, I saw Dave pull the gun on me. Ryan pushed me away and stood in front of me.
When the bullet hit him, he fell to the ground and began to bleed right away.
“Ryan!!!
“I yelled as I held him in my arms and put pressure on his wound to stop the bleeding.
“Jason go save Gracie. Harrison put his hand on Ryan’s wound and said, “I’ll get him to the hospital.”
“I’ll be okay. Ryan said, “Go now,” and he was breathing hard. I nodded, stood up, and saw Dave smiling.
He said, with Melina still in his hand, “I’m having so much fun.” I got up in anger and moved toward him.
He reloaded the gun and pointed it at me, but before he could pull the trigger, someone hit him from behind and wrapped a cloth around his neck.
I decided to take a chance and ran into the house, where Nina was fighting with him.
I got closer and shot him in the head with my gun while he was looking away. He fell to the ground and passed out.
I looked at Nina, and she tried to talk, but I hit her face with a good slap.
“The only reason I’m not killing you right now is because you saved both my life and Gracie’s,” I told Gracie as I walked up to her.
“Melina are you okay?
” I asked, feeling sad.
“I am not. I don’t get myself. “I was tired, but I’m glad you’re here,” she said as she fell into my hand.
“Melina!
“I called her, but she didn’t answer. Her eyes were closed, and she fell asleep.
“Shit!
I looked at Nina, who was staring at us, and said, “I’m carrying her like a bride.”
“Don’t think I won’t come get you both when I take Melina to the hospital. “If I were you, I’d run like hell from that jerk,” I said as I walked out the door.
“And you were able to make Harrison hate you. “Congratulations,” I said as I finally walked out the door.
“Wait a minute, Melina. “Please,” I begged through tears.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
