SEX WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCÉ-Chapter 48 - FORTY EIGHT

- KILLIAN -



An excruciating groan slid out of Marino’s mouth as I place the third bloody pair of teeth on a metal tray.



He’s not talking. I will soon make him. "Still not ready to utter a word?" I ask, holding his head up to look at me by grabbing his short hair in my hand and squeezing my fist.



"You’re a fool to think I will." He said with a grimace. Because of his removed teeth, his voice sounds quite funny to my ears.



I grinned. I was going easy on him but he seems to want none of it. "I’ll make you. Sooner or later, if you don’t appreciate me being your dentist, I shall give you a pedicure instead."



Marino’s eyes widened. His blood stained teeth shivered in response and his throat tightened. Marino spread his mouth open wider but instead of speaking, he laughed.



"There is this book the Ivanovs used to read." I start, taking my hand off his hair. Marino eyed my movement carefully as I adjust backwards, looking at his face. "When a dog has a lot of free will, it becomes naughty." I stared at him, dead in the eye while saying each word painfully slowly. "When you feed it continuously, it gets arrogant and expectant for more, every day at the same hour. When you deny it meals, it barks at its owner. Forgetting where it came from. Forgetting how it scavenged for food." I pat his chin gently, adoring the scar on half of his face, I only said a quarter of the part in the book but I’m sure this gives him a lead on where I’m headed, after all, he must’ve read it as well. "It’s a weird thing to read to children, but the older one gets, the more they understand the meaning." I let my gloved thumb crawl on his deformed face. "Can you feel my touch?" I ask. The other side of the gloves is filled with blades. I can change sides if I want to.



Marino didn’t answer. He shook his head away instead, facing the other side.



"The dog flashes it’s teeth and tries to prove its strength to its master. ’I guard your house’ It barks, ’I am your back bone’ It squirms, ’If you don’t feed me, I’ll bite’." I continue speaking. "Little does the dog know it’s owner has a gun, the owner has a rod, the owner knows how to tame and discipline wild pets. Be it lions and cheetahs, it makes them cats. Turns snakes to worms and wolves to puppies."



I fold my fist and shove the bladed part of my hand in his knee. Marino’s leg stiffened. The leather gloves got stained with his blood.



Perfect.



I twirled my fist around slowly, letting his body dissolve each painful cut.



"Do you remember the song?" I ask Marino, looking at his face. "Do you remember what the owner did to the dog?"





I took my fist out and gripped his knee, squeezing tightly. I want him to feel the pain of the cuts even more. Blood drenches his pants as I squeeze harder.



"This is where you answer me, Marino. I might show mercy." I release my fingers and roll a finger up and down his wounded knee slowly. This man made me hurt Hazel, I haven’t forgotten that. My body is injured because of him, I won’t forget that.



I want to know who sent him. I want to know if he worked with S or just made moves like S does to confuse us. For someone to know about my truce with S, they must’ve been working on the inside.



I need to know all the pieces before I destroy his body. But I can rip him to pieces if it will make him talk faster. The glove’s blades are laced with poison, it won’t take long till his wounded flesh decomposes.



"Okay, since you won’t, I’ll make you." I stood up and threw my fist at his face. Marino grunts, some of his teeth flew out. Good. The more hurt he is, the better.



I threw my feet up and forced it on the chair he’s sat on, between his legs, pressing my foot hard on his crotch. My hand gripped the back of his head, holding him in place as I land another punch from below his chin.



This sudden movement takes a toll on my body but I won’t stop. I’m not going to stop even if it means re-destroying every limb in my body. "Who are these men and who do you work for? Don’t make me ask again!" My voice stiffened.



The grin on Marino’s face is gone. That made me scoff. Not so proud and full of mockery now, eh? Marino didn’t say a word. He’s not resisting like before but he’s not saying anything either. I made my foot firmer on his legs, sinking it into his thighs.



"Give it to me!" I said sternly and Liam threw a dagger. I caught it and forced it in his thigh, the same one I punctured with my gloves. Marino screamed. "Scars fit you." I say stretching his head up to face mine. His face has so many pierces caused by the blade on my gloves brushing against it. "Make me ask you this again and what will come next will be worse."



His breath quickened and his eyes bulged. "I wonder how hideous the other side of your face will look without an eye." I say raising my hand while clutching my hand around the knife handle. The knife slid out of his thighs, now overflowing with blood. "Let’s find out." I arch my hand forward, targeting his eye.



Marino struggled in his seat. "I’ll speak! I’ll speak! Just don’t cut my face!" He shuddered. I gave Liam a side glance and he nods slightly.



"Talk."





"I was working for S. Not with him. Your father and I had unfinished business."



"You want me to believe you came after me for something you had with a deceased man?" My throat tightened.



Marino grit his teeth as he forced his head up to face me. His bloody teeth came to view. I messed it up badly. This is only the start.



"How...." Marino coughed, spitting blood on my face accidentally. That irked me but I didn’t respond to it. "Do you think I got this scar?"



My eyes widen for a bit. No. Father definitely didn’t. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom





I squeeze my hand tighter on his hair. He shrieked. I can tolerate anything but I find this to be bullshit. How dare he accuse dad of doing that?!



"You. Better. Keep. Talking." My breath hitched. "Or my hands will move."





He coughed, struggling to laugh. Nothing’s funny. Or maybe his appearance is.



"We had a deal. He signed a contract with me and breached it." My brows creased. How long ago was this? And is this why he attacked me? "My son was under his care. Ivanov’s death clearly destroyed our plans and his men hurt my son." Marino’s breath was getting slower as he paused. "I remember that day clearly. Having to run into the burning building to save my son. You all got out safely, of course. Luckily my son did but not me."



So that’s how he got the scar. It wasn’t acid. It definitely wasn’t father either. He was dead.



"What does this have to do with you sending spies?"





"If Ivanovo is dead, passing my rage to his sons was a splendid option." I eyed this man. His fingers widen on the arm of the chair and he starts scribbling things. "Although I heard his wife already lost some babies."



I got angry hearing this. He has no right to utter a word about mother.





"That bitch was no better than a street rat after all!" Marino screamed, locking eyes with me.



My knife designed his face in a second, tearing a portion of the scar open. Blood oozed out his face as he yelled in agony.



"Watch your tongue." Liam’s voice cooed from behind. I can hear his rage. Marino is testing our patience and if he goes on, I fear I may not keep my part of the deal.



Marino managed a chuckle. "It’s just so easy."



With a clenched fist, I forced his head lower and hit his face with my knee.



"Is that why you sent agents?" There’s something he’s not telling me. I also want to know how much he knows. How much his agents have gathered and if Asami knew about this, how is he linked to S? How did he have an idea about our deal in the first place? I want to ask so many questions but I don’t want to say anything that’ll involve Hazel. There’s a possibility they do not know about the girl. I plan to keep it that way.



And if they do know about her?



I swallow. Then I have to kill them all today. It’ll be a bloody day.



His chest heaved as he exhaled. "Do you mean to ask me something else?" A loud noise trailed after each word. He’s struggling to breathe.



I take my hand off his head and clench my fist around his shirt instead, strangling him. My intent is to block his air flow even more.



"That nice looking lady?" Marino mumbles. That made me loosen my grip unwillingly.



I heard a loud thud coming from behind and I turn back to look. It’s Liam, he dropped something. His brow was raised as he stared at me. I know that look. He demands to know more later.



I laugh. "You know saying that risks your chances to survive?" I shift backwards and lowered my body to face him still keeping my foot between his legs.



"I know you wouldn’t kill me, son of Ivanov. Not when I know things that can end you."



I scoff. "Nice try. If you did, you wouldn’t send agents."



Marino’s gaze wavered for a second then his face hardened. "But you have the information you need."



I pick the scissors and dip my finger in the ’o’ shaped handle, rolling it around my finger. "I can make you get that out with certain means." I clasp my fingers around the scissors.



"You don’t understand the situation, do you? I work for S. Kill me and you risk his wrath."



"I fancy the thought. Worry more about yourself." I stood and took a few steps back. Now I am pacing in front of him. "You see Marino, when you’re at a disadvantage, you start trying to prove your worth with empty threats." A half grin forms on my face. "I don’t have to because I know I’m needed. You aren’t. Do you really think S cares? You’ve been here for hours and he hasn’t placed a call. What does that tell you?" I fell my hand on both chair handles. He struggles to get his cuffed hands out of my grip. This is why I know he’s stupid.



If it’s any consolation, I’m sorry about what happened to his son. But even in death, my father’s men had one job and that was to protect us. They surely knew nothing of the contract. And even if they did....



I shook the thought off. Now’s not the time to think about other things.



"S couldn’t care less if you lived or died." I study him from head to the end of his torso. He’s shaking. "Which means you’re no longer connected?" I say subtly, monitoring his every movement. He seems frightened, which means it’s true. This is ridiculous. "And this was a one man mastermind mission." Saying this out loud makes me both amused and angry. "And you’re the head." I stood up straight and laughed. I could rip his body off, limb by limb, but I don’t have that patience.





I threw the dagger at his foot. It pierced through till hit the ground with force. I heard the noise of the hit echo on the metal floor. Marino’s yell pleased my ears.



Heck, it made me feel satisfied.





"S was being a pussy! Backed out of the deal when I wanted to go after you! I needed to get my revenge but he was all about protecting you!! I had to take matters into my own hands, Son of a coward!!"



Yelling that only makes this funnier. My father was anything but a coward and Marino knows.





"And look where that got you, oh smart one." I took a step forward. "Chained to a seat. Brilliant." I whisper, taking a step back. I pulled my gun from the strap and shot.





I’m not going to let him die that easily. He has a lot to say. Grief is a very deadly thing when carried on for long.



Says the man who wants the theft of his parents avenged. My mind judged. Not now! I don’t have time to reminisce.



Marino is panting and wrestling to get out of his seat. It’s futile. He can’t. I stare at the bullet and his cut off little toe.



I have a lot of spare bullets. I will shoot all his toes out, one by one. Then I’ll continue with his hands.





"Do you know her name? I won’t ask you twice."



He’s panting hard.



"The next bullet will be directed at your teeth." Liam said. I spared him a gaze. He’s pointing his gun right at Marino’s face. At this rate, the man might die with a heart attack.



"No! No! Maybe my men do but I know nothing more!" Marino gushed. Liam cocked his gun. "I did my research. I only know of her family and the blonde she hangs out with."



Kaiden. This mission must be recent then. But he knows about Hazel’s family. He keeps giving me more reasons why it’s important to kill him.





"That’s all." Marino rushed his words.



Liam pulled his hand back. I won’t. Another bullet flew right at him. This time, ripping off his big toe.



Marino twisted in his chair. His eyes bulged and his head cocked to the side. With that kind of neck twisting, I thought it was going to snap. "Make it stop. Make it stop!" He yelled in agony.



I find this pitiful.



"You’re lying. Don’t make me ask the assassins." My voice is stern.



"What else do you want to know?"



"Everything." I muttered.



"S only let’s us know the things he wants us to during his dealings. Mine was solely for a selfish purpose. That’s all I know. I know nothing about you!" I shot his hand this time.



Oops. My aim was meant to puncture his palm not dissever it. His palm dropped to the ground.



Marino let out a yelp, tilting his head lower to watch blood splash out.



Marino starts muttering words in Italian. I’ve been around some Italians to know a bit of what he’s saying. He’s cursing. A pained laughter slid out of his mouth.



That made my brows crease.



"Fucking Ivanovs. I should’ve come for you when you were younger." He cackled, rummaging on his seat like a mental patient. "I should’ve killed you when I had the chance, bastards!!" Marino raged. He laughed again. "You can torture me all you like, Killian, but you won’t kill me! I know it..... I know everything. Your position in that school... all about the family of the lady you’re into. I also know she’s a student." He bursts out. "Nothing might happen to you but what happens to her when the school board knows she’s messing around with a teacher?" Marino laughed.





My fist clenched. This man is really tempting me to murder him.



"Even if you kill me now, I have pictures everywhere. Copies and copies of files in different places. I have people waiting for my return or they will leak them all. Your relationship, along with the fiancé."



My breath hitched. He knows about Kate. What more does this man know?



"Everyone involved in your life will suffer." He screamed. Laughter shortly trailed after. The hem of his pants are dripping blood on the floor. His hand is too. "Don’t you need to be in that school to get what you want?" Marino asks, laughing manipulatively. "I know everything and I will easily destroy your plans faster than it took you to get here. All you have to do is pull that trigger." He breathes heavily, stifling groans. Behind those words is a suffering man. What I can’t tell now is if he’s bluffing.



I can’t say ’fuck it’ and call his bluff. I care about Hazel but I’ve worked hard to get to this point. Now I wonder if he knows about the hard drive. With or without that school, I can get what I want.



I won’t let this man destroy Hazel.... or Kate, but... if it comes down to it, ..... my jaw tightened, I haven’t known her long enough to ruin everything for her.



My lips spread ajar slightly. I still don’t know if my earlier thought is true. My mind is telling me something else.



"Why are you waiting, Ivanov? Kill me! Fucking kill me!" He dares, laughing while staring at me. He forgets I can injure him. Regretfully, not enough like I want to. "I thought so..... you’re just like your father."



I swayed my eyes to Liam when Marino mentioned that. Liam dare not do anything reckless.



"You both are stupid and do anything for the slightest feeling. Aren’t you nearly married, Ivanov?" He’s referring to me. "Why play with another lady’s heart? Have you no dignity? But what to I care anyway?" He chuckles. "Even I will do the same if I met someone that fine. I’ll even do worse. Claim her and destroy her over and over till she’s nothing but my little fuck puppet."



My blood boils. I can feel my anger heighten so much that I can’t feel the pain in my body anymore. Fuck it, I thought I didn’t but I care about Hazel enough to get offended by what he’s saying but I was wrong. I do care. And I won’t let anything happen to her. Ever.



Especially after today.



"Maybe it’ll be the first thing I do. Tell me Killian, what is she like in bed? You have slept with her, haven’t you?"



"Watch your mouth." I order.



Marino obliged. "You have fucked her countless times, right? Does she accept or do you take her by force?" A wide smile forms on his face as he asks that and it’s infuriating. I did not rip his teeth out hard enough to have him talking this much. "Force is more like it. After all, who will come to a grotesque looking man like me without force?" He chuckles.



Marino forgets he’s in enemy’s territory and is blabbing so much. I can’t believe I’m just standing here and watching him blab. I want to pull this trigger. I want to shoot him again so badly. But if I do, I fear I might kill him.



"She will serve right as a sex maid."



"I won’t say this again, watch your mouth."



"Don’t you think?" He ignored my warning and continued. "After ruining her in university, I’ll make her desperate for anything to survive the shame or even abduct her and force my way on her. Torment that sweet pussy of hers till it’s ripped and she’s crying, begging me to get off but I won’t."



The sound of a gunshot made my eyes widen. Liam shot Marino’s thigh. "When my brother says shut up, you do so."



Marino is trying to get on my nerves on purpose. The shot had an effect on him. It’s obvious in his stiffened movement. "In fact, I’ll even get my men to take turns on her. She sure will look good on the paper, dead by sexual assault."





That’s when I lost my shit. I have let him demean her so much that I can’t take it anymore. The image of her dead via abuse is painted in my mind and I can’t get it out. I made my way forward, grabbing hold of a bigger pair of scissors and charged at Marino. The chair squeaked as a result of our weight.



"Let me make this clear to you, Antonio Marino," I started, deforming his body with the tip of the scissors, grazing his skin so deep that I felt the scissors cut through some muscles. "You will never speak of her again in such manner. You will not leak any incriminating information," I held the hem of his shirt in both hands and ripped it open, revealing his bare chest to me. I ran my hand over his chest with the scissors, cutting his skin in a disorganised manner. Slicing over the same cuts while opening more wounds. Marino didn’t have time to say a word during this as he was occupied by his screaming. Good. I need him to be in pain. "I will let you go today, not so you can live, but so you can put a permanent halt to every thing you have on us. Burn every file," I raised my hand up to his other hand. Shredding it bit by bit. His blood stained my clothing but I don’t care. "Every hard drive, destroy every single thing and send every other person involved back home with payment. You will warn off all those involved in your plans and ring my name in their ears. Tell them to beware of me." I said.



I didn’t touch his face or neck but I’ve done so much to his body that he may bleed on the way back. That is, if he’ll have the strength to stand up when I’m done with him.

"You will send my warm welcome to each and everyone. And when I let you walk out of here alive, you won’t utter a word linking to me about your wounds. You will be a good dog at home and enjoy with your family because I promise you, if you do anything I haven’t told you to, your son won’t be the only member in your family you’ll watch die in front of your very own eyes." I dug my hand out of his arm and clenched my hand on his face, pressing his cheeks in with my fingers. "I will keep your tongue the same for this reason. You will lose it the moment you defy me." I stab his gum with the scissors, closing it with force till it became sore and his tooth fell off. "And you will never utter a word of disrespect about her again in your life. Or I swear, I will kill you."

I got up from him and shot his shoulder as a parting gift. His screams deafened my ears all the while I was talking to him.

I walk behind him, took out a key and uncuffed his hand then undid the padlock keeping the chain around him locked. "I’ll be watching you Marino. If you value your life, whatever happened in this room will be a secret only us know."

I pushed him forward and he stumbled on the ground. His body twitched but he didn’t move. I don’t know why but I feel like I haven’t dealt with him properly. I’m not content. I stroll to him and placed a foot on his back. He groaned. "For the sake of your eye and balls. You wouldn’t want to hurt your teeth trying to eat them." I took my foot off. "You have twenty four hours. Don’t make me

wait."
