Sold To The Wicked Him

“Aiden Lazarus… you bastard…”

Brylle is now checking all his things. It is not just camera whom he learned to deal with. Even with guns and things of sort, he made sure to learn a thing or two.

“You really know how to make me mad…”

‘Did I choose the right thing to do?’

Paul can’t help but be worried about what he did. But that is the only thing he can think of. After all, he know too well that this day would come. And even Brylle knows it too.

‘Hah, just as I think, I really can’t do this’

Standing up on his seat, he hold the gun that Brylle was holding.

“What are you doing?”

“Just gonna check something”

Staying calm as he always is, he wonders if Brylle can do it.

“Can you kill someone?”

“I already killed people tho”

Shaking his head, there was a smile on his lips. But Brylle can’t tell if it is a smile or a smirk.

“Sometimes, the person you really wanted to kill can’t be killed so easily…”

He mumbled as he point the gun if front of Brylle.

“Why are you not begging for your life?”

Brylle did not even look bothered by the fact that a gun was pointed at him. that any time soon his life can end.

“You would have click it sooner if you really wanna do so”

“So you tell me you trust me?”

That made Brylle think.

“Is there anyone else I can trust than you?”

Putting down the gun, he ruffles Brylle’s hair.

“You really grown up”

“And I am still capable. Useful enough for you to dispose me. Aren’t i?”

Letting go of his palm, he also wonders if it is really that reason why he can’t find the urge to kill Brylle.

It is not as if he isn’t the one that ruined his family. If not for Brylle showing up then both his mother and father won’t have the reason to fight.

If it isn’t for Brylle than he can be the only person his mom would rely on.

But no matter what he thinks of, he knew that there is something in him that doesn’t make him do so.

“This is your chance. What is your plan?”

Walking steps farther where Brylle was, Paul decided to look at the window.

“Don’t you already have one?”

His younger brother replied which made him smile.

“Of course I do. When did I not have one?”

“Then let me do that. Just make sure Lea won’t be hurt in the process”

Slightly shaking his head, Paul look at the sky.

‘I guess that really is what it feels to have someone be your weakness’

“Of course”

It surely makes people be vulnerable. But also, it makes someone be strong.

…

“Even this place looks familiar… I feel like I know this place…”

Murmering to herself, only a woof of Puff barking can be heard. Lea is now walking in the garden as she feels like going out for a walk. Lilith went inside to prepare some snacks and drinks that lea can eat.

‘Thinking about it, I haven’t seen Aiden… how can I even get out of here? I really have to meet Mira. Even though it is just a day I left the mansion, I am sure Brylle is worried about me…’

Worried, the very scene she saw when the two of them had their last conversation keeps on poping out of her mind. She can’t forget that time.

‘Is he worried about me?’

Wondering about what might be going on in Brylle’s mind, she can’t help but be worried.

‘Is he alright?’

But with her having those thoughts, a loud bang can be heard coming from afar. There are smokes and burning fire in the vicinity of where she was.

“What…”

Hugging puff in her arms, she doesn’t know what to do. The fire is spreading so faster than what she thought it would be. Lots of maids and servants are leaving the house. And they look as if they were looking for something.

“Madame?! Madame??!!”

Shouting back and forth, one of the maid saw where Lea was.

“The madame was there!!”

One of the maids shouted. But before she can even took a step forward, she stumbled falling with a gunshot on her head.

That made all the maids and guards look at where the owner of that gunshot was. Even Lea can’t believe in what she was seeing.

“The madame! Save the-!”

One by one they all fall down.

“No…”

Lea mumbled. It is like a dream- no a nightmare.

To see numbers of people dying in an instant…

‘How can that person kill them as if they were ants?’

Shaking her head, her hands are shaking. Holding Puff, the dog barked which probably caught the attention of that person.

The one with the gun.

‘I… I need to leave here… I need to leave as soon as possible… I… I have to…’

Taking steps backward, there is a hand that pull her. But before she can even react, she was at ease when she saw who it is.

“Brylle!”

She mumbled crying. Knowing Brylle was there to save her.

But something struck on her mind.

‘This is the mansion of Aiden… and they are not in a good side with each other… how can he enter-‘

Seeing the whole suit of Brylle, he even have trails of blood on his face. She noticed it not so quickly as Brylle thought she would.

“Brylle?”

She called. Asking for an explanation about all of that. Not noticing how puff jump down and run somewhere.

“Why are you holding a gun?”

And his eyes landed on the gun he was holding. He was in rush to even fix himself.

Numbers of loud bang can be heard as some debris would fall rolling to where they are.

The whole mansion is in chaos, even the greenhouse that is just a bit far from where they are.

“I will take you home”

Shaking her head, she doesn’t want to think that way. Her mind is asking what is he doing. She don’t understand why things started to became like this

“You did all of this?”

His hand then touches her cheeks. Instead of warth she always felt, she was left with fright. Not because she think she would be hurt. But because she thought that the reason why he did those,

“Is it all for me?”

Kissing her forehead, tears fall from her eyes. Asking if it is really because of her

“All for you…”

“No… Brylle… you… you killed them… because of me…”

Hands holding her mouth, Brylle saw how hurt she was. He didn’t mean to make it this this. What he just want is for her to know how much he loves her. That he would do anything for her.

“Why… why do you have to do this?”

Seeing him, she can’t picture how that kind Brylle turn to this. How the Brylle that he know could do something… she never even dare of thinking…

“You don’t like it?”

Closing her eyes, the very sight she just saw made her shiver. People falling and dying just like that…

“How would I like that kind of-”

hands covering her face, the tears cou;d not be contain on her eyes.

“You don’t like it?”

he asked with his eyes full of questions.

Looking at Brylle she had a bit of anger on her words. He just killed people. How can he ask if she likes it or not. More than anyone, Lea knows how hard it is to have someone you love die. Even if they die in your arms, or you just heard it from the news.

‘Lea… your father… he won’t be back’

‘Granpa? What- but he told me… he promised me he would…’

‘I am sorry… your granpa can do nothing…’

Thinking that they leave and broke their promise… but the truth is, they wanted but it was death that hold them back in doing so. For when it comes to that thing, no human could even dare say a thing. They are helpless when it is about the end of one’s life.

and for someone to carelessly take it…

“Brylle… how can I?”

Tears continued to fall. She didn’t even heard the words of Lilith calling for her.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Shut up!! I said shut the fuck up you piece of-”

Looking at Brylle, she notice how he was pointing his gun in one direction. But the moment she look at it, she was late.

“Li… Lilith?”

Her clothes have blood in the direction where her heart was located. Smiling as soon as she saw Lea, her eyes slowly closed before falling on her face. Lifeless.

‘I am glad you are safe… madame. And I am glad it is you whom I last saw… I am… really… glad…’

“Lilith!!”

and her voice echoed as she saw the sight of Lilith, covered with her own blood.
