Cruel Intentions
She gasped when the cold wall came in contact with her back.
"Ah, how much I missed this' said the captor in hoarse voice. She inhaled deeply as he buried his face in the crook of her neck.
"Seth........"
He breathed deeply in her hair and let out a groan. "You look hotter in this makeover" one of his hands ran through her locks. 'I love these black hairs on you" and smooched her nape
She tried to free herself from his grasp. "Aren't we cousins now?" she tried to reason.
"Cousins! Bullshit! I won't accept this. And you know very well that I've loved you much before this. You are mine" he whispered in her ear and bit her ear lobe "only mine". His hand roamed all over her body. She started struggling under his touch. "You are making it hard for me, baby"
"Please don't ......" she requested but her pleas fell to deaf ears. He slowly inclined his face near hers and leaned in for a kiss.
"Leave her, Seth" an authoritative tone stopped him. Seth took a step away from her and she breathed in relief.
"Father" she acknowledged her saviour.
"What the hell am I listening uncle? I disappeared for three months and I come to find out that you adopted June?" Seth gave him an incredulous look.
"I adopted her for a reason, Seth. I never do anything until its necessary. It's time for the revenge. It's time for HIM to pay for your father's death" the man replied with a grim expression.
Seth clenched his fists on HIS mention. His blood boiled with rage and all he wanted was to rip the heart out of HIS chest. He has suffered so much because of him. Every cell of his body yearned for revenge. Vengeance started blinding his senses but the mere sight of the girl standing beside him was enough to keep his sanity.
"But why June? Anybody would have done that. Besides, I want to kill that bastard with my very own hands" he seethed.
"You are underestimating his power, Seth. He is too powerful to be killed by some snipers. We need a fool proof plan, which I've already prepared .And rest assured, you will get the chance to take your revenge. Besides, I don't want that good for nothing son of a bitch to die easily. I will make him beg for death. He will die from betrayal and for that reason, I have chosen June. "
"But I still don't think that it's a wise decision to use June" Seth objected. As much as Seth wants to avenge his father's death, he loved her too much to send her to kill a man and not to mention a very handsome man. His insecurities kicked in, as he knew that she never returned his feelings.
"She is not June anymore! She is Angela Velázquez, the daughter of Antonio Velázquez. Keep that in mind "Antonio hissed. "And don't forget who you are. I don't expect the heir of my company to go crazy for a girl"
"She is not just a girl, uncle. She is the girl I love"
Seth's words made her heart swell with warmth but at the same time she couldn't help but to feel guilty. She knew how much he loved her. He kept her nagging since the first time they met. She too loved him but it was only platonic. She even tried to explained him several times but he was stubborn as hell. She felt guilty for not returning his love.
Antonio tried to ignore the open confession of his stupid love sick nephew. He slowly stepped towards Angela aka June "I've been waiting for this moment since years. I have trained her all these years for only this moment. Who would have imagined that there is a deadly assassin hiding behind this beautiful and fragile girl" he let out a hysterical laugh.
"I suppose that you won't disappoint me, right, doll?" his voice was extremely soft and sugar coated but it was laced with threat as he stroked her hairs. It sent shivers down her spine. She was standing silent between all their arguments. She could not make out between the myriads of emotions she was facing right now. She loved Antonio very much. He was the closest figure to her father. But as much as she wanted to feel warm and happy by his sweet tone, she could not help but feel intimidated by him. His cold and dead eyes could make anyone freeze to death. But she meekly nodded her head to oblige.
"Good! now remember that you are not June anymore. No one should find out about your real identity. Don't forget the training you've got in these years. This mission is very important for me. Remember that you have to make him fall head over heels for you".
June's mind drifted towards her dinner date with him. He seemed to be so nice and considerate. She wondered how a man so gentle like him can kill someone. Her reverie was broken by her foster father's voice.
"Be careful, doll. And try not to get caught." His voice was dangerously low as he warned her.
"Yes father" the words sounded foreign in her mouth. She always found herself tongue tied in front of him. But also she can never disobey the words of the man who saved her life.
"Alright, but I'm warning you, if anything happens to her then I swear I will......." Seth accepted grudgingly.
"Keep this thing in your mind son, you and her are never gonna happen. So stop thinking about her and find some other girl for yourself" Antonio gritted his teeth and stormed out of the cabin. Antonio's yelling was followed by complete silence. Slowly Seth reached her and cupped her cheeks in his large palms.
"Don't you worry about what he said just now, okay? I promise you that I will never leave you and I will always protect you, baby"
His intense gaze made her to squirm. She hesitatingly removed his hands from her face and took a step back. "Look it's really overwhelming that you love me so much, Seth. But please try to understand that we can never be together" she tried not to sound harsh.
"You don't love me?"
"I do, but not in that way. I've always loved you as my brother. Why don't you understand that I'm your cousin now?"
He shrugged "so what? That will never stop me from loving you.. I can be an incestuous brother" he winked. Now she was really annoyed. What's the problem with him?
"You are disgusting and crazy" she shouted at him and he laughed in return. Provoking his wild cat was his favorite hobby.
"Yeah, I'm crazy but I'm crazy for you, baby"
"Take this thing inside the thick skull of yours" she poked a finger in his forehead "that I will never be yours"
"Believe me sweetheart, you will always be mine. I will chase you everywhere even if I have to go to hell for that" she rolled her eyes at his cheesy line and barged out of the room.
No matter what anyone tells, Seth always does what he want.
