Intoxicated Romance - S01 E26

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 26

Steven:

i was so excited this afternoon when antonia called me to meet her. I

thought of it as my chance to mend things with her. I had rehearsed

what i intend to say before my mirror several times. I was both

nervous and excited. Nervous that i may not say the right things and

excited about seeing her again. I was already on my way when i got

jane's message

. She had tried calling me but i ignored the calls until

i saw the message. I was quick to doubt her but something in me seemed

so uneasy so i diverted to my dad's office just to check on him.

When i got to the office, it was complete chaos. There were police cars scattered in the premises and an ambulance and that's when i knew something was awfully wrong and Jane was telling the truth.

The sight of my father on a stretcher with his head crushed is ingrained in my memory.

I still cant stop thinking that i would have been able to save him if i had answered have's call sooner.

My father was never loving or affectionate but he's still the man that gave birth to me and i cant let his death go unpunished. I have to stop James before he harms

someone else that i love

. I cant even bear to think about antonia and

our baby hurt. I give the police my statement and I'm asked to follow

them to the station for my written statement. Antonia must be angry at

me by now. I need to call her. I dial her number but her line's busy.

She must be on another call. The detective comes to tell me that they are leaving and i abandon the call to get this over with. I have to finish this police business so i can get to antonia.

I have to keep her safe.

At the police station, i write my statement and hurry out.

I enter my car and dial antonia's number. She doesn't pick up. I call her again and it rings for awhile before she picks up.

"hello, antonia. Are you okay?.you got me worried"

"hello brother" my brother speaks through the phone. Shocked, i lose control of the steering wheel and step on the break. The car stops suddenly and i am launched forward.

My head hits the steering but i

don't care.

"what are you doing with antonia's phone, you son of a bitch! You better not hurt even a hair on her head or I'll kill you" i say and i hear the bastard laugh.

"calm down.

I can assure you, i didn't harm her hair, i just punched

her a few times."

"you are going to pay for this James. Just wait till i find you. I'll make sure you rot in prison!"i scream into the phone.

"now listen you motherfucker. Enough of these empty threats. I'll give you half an hour to meet me at the address i will send you.

Come with that incriminating video and Make sure you come alone or else I'll break her pretty neck"he says and the line goes dead. No no no no no!

I scream and punch the steering wheel multiple times. My knuckles hurt

but it doesn't compare to the pain m heart is feeling right now.

I wipe my tear stained face and reverse my car towards jane's house.

I'll do anything to make sure antonia and my baby come out of this

safe.

As soon as i get to the address, i park my car and jump down. I see jane's car also parked at the front of the house. I pound on the door as soon as i get to it. The door flies open and i see James. He is wearing only a trousers with his belt unbuckled. My eyes flares and i

grab his neck.

"what have you done?!" i scream in his face and he laughs. He pulls a

gun out of his pocket and point it at my temple.

"get your hands off me" he grinds out and i do.

"good. Now, move to that corner" he says pointing to the dining

section. I move slowly with my hands out. I search the whole room with

my eyes and i see a girl of about 19 lying by the corner, weeping. Her

clothes are torn. I move to stand close to her.

"kneel!" James commands and i comply.

"let the little girl go, James. This is between the both of us. Where

is antonia? Please let them go" James studies me for a while then nod.

"alright, I'll let her go" he says then points the gun at her.

"no James. Don't do it" i beg but he releases the trigger. blood

splatters on the wall and the girl's convulses till the last breathe

leave her. I turn my eyes away.

"oops. That was a slip of the fingers" he says and starts laughing

like a mad man.

"okay now, to more important business. Where is the video?"he asks

"where's antonia"

"she is just unconscious behind that wall so i suggest you give me the

video before i put a hole in her head"

"here, take it" i stretch my phone towards him and he snatches it from

my hands. I give him my password and he successfully deletes the

video.

"i have fulfilled my end of the bargain so let us leave. I won't tell

the police about this. Please" i beg

"i still need something from your fiance" he says and goes behind the

wall. He comes back with antonia. He's dragging her by her hair.

Antonia sobs beside him. He pushes her toward me and i catch her. She

sobs on my shoulder and i pat her back. James brings some documents

from the table and pushes it towards antonia.

"sign it" antonia pulls away from me and collect the papers and a pen.

She goes to sign it but stops

"i will sign this only if you let Steven go". James squats beside antonia and pull her hair backwards. I try to move his hand away but

he points the gun at her.

"sorry baby, but Steven isn't leaving here alive, so you better sign

that before i decide to kill you too"

"i'm not signing" antonia grinds out.

"well then you give me no choice"

"stop! She'll sign it" i tell James, then turn to antonia.

"you have to sign this. For me. I won't be able to live with myself if

you and the baby die because of me"i say and antonia shakes her head

fervently as she sobs

"i cant lose you Steven" she sobs out then She hug me tight.

"wow wow wow. So very touching. But this is a waste of time. Now sign

it"James says. I watch as antonia signs all the documents with shaky

hands.

"now, you die Steven"James points the gun at me and i close my eyes. I

hear gunshots but i don't feel any pain. I open my eyes to see James

holding tessy. Police swarm the place. "come any closer and I'll blow

her brains out"James says and points the gun at antonia's temple. His

right hand is bloody.

"hold your fire!"one of the gunned policemen orders.

"good, now, i am going to walk out of this place and you won't fire. Got it?"

the police men nod and James grab antonia, using her as a body shield

and he walks out of the room. I run after them but a police man hold

me down.

"stay still."he whispers. I hear a car engine purr outside. We wait

for some seconds before the police man beside me yells.

"go go go! Get the cars.Don't let him get away" i rush outside with

them. Antonia isn't outside which means, he tot her with him. The

bastard! I follow one of the police men into his car and we zoom off

after them. I can see jane's car in front of us and it isn't moving in a straight path. Its just moving haphazardly. I watch in horror as a tricycle suddenly drives in front of them and the car loses control.

It goes off the road with immense speed and runs through a fence by

the side of the road then stops. We park our car and i run towards the

wrecked car.

"antonia!" i yell. I get to the car and try to open the passenger door

but its jammed. I look inside to see antonia's head bleeding. I keep

hitting the door as if it would magically open. I am pried away from

the car by some police men.

. I push them off me. I am so mad right now.

James better be dead or he will die by my hands. The driver's door

suddenly open and James comes out. He is bloody.

"Steven, i am sorry. it wasn't me. It was them. The voices. They did

it. Don't worry I'll get rid of them" he rants like a mad man.

"you are crazy! I am going to kill you today" i shout and rush at him.

But before i get to where he is, he shoots himself. I get to him in

time to catch his body.

"the voices a gone,now I can rest "he says while coughing out blood

and goes limp in my hands. His eyes wide open.
