Chapter 153 Aless!
Chapter 153 Aless!
VICTORIA'S POV...
"You..." My lips parted in a daze. "Yo..u look like me!" I could not help the tremble in my tone.
"Yeah, I..." She gulped a mouthful of saliva and nodded. Maybe, loss for words. Just like me.
Our features, hair colour everything is the same. Even the length of our hair too! It would feel like a
reflection of mine unless she has that one difference with me. Our eyes.
They hold different colours. My eyes are green. But hers are purplish. So unique and different! Well, I
have never seen anything like this before. Just like Leo, she can attract all attention to her at once with
those eyes.
As we both stared at each other in disbelief, we were suddenly pulled out by a clapping sound.
Our heads turned together in that direction and I watched a man entered the dark cell. My eyes roamed
from top to bottom at him.
He is in a suit and not looked too old in my eyes even though the side of his hair turned greyish. But
they were in a line and it was not really understandable if it was real or intentional.
"What an amazing reunion of two sisters, huh?" He clapped and I gasped, Hearing his words.
Did he just say two sisters!? I blinked, baffled and then turned to the girl beside me. Like me, she was
also stating me with wide eyes and a shocked gaze.
"You should appreciate me, girls." I heard the man and turned to him again. "For me, you guys at least
meet with each other before death." He smirked evilly, inserting his hands in his pocket.
"But, I have to say, Christine is lucky." He turned to the girl.
So, her name is Christine? I guess so.
"She even gets to meet her mother."
"Huh!? What the fuck are you saying!?" Christine glared at him, suddenly angry.
He laughed, "What a destiny. You lived with your mother for two days as her hostage and no one even
know! So sad that Victoria didn't get to meet her mother. And I can't be more generous to let her meet
her mother anymore. I am so sorry, Victoria." He turned to me this time making a sympathetic sound
with his tongue.
Everything he kept saying just going over my head. Mother? Sister? What the fuck!? I blinked and
looked up at him before parting my lips.
"Ar...e you Mafia Manchini?" I asked. I just want to confirm if he is the man who wants to kill me. No,
not me but us!
He laughed. "Oh, Victoria. Should I call you intelligent because you get that right?" He raised his brow.
"No? tsk~tsk."
"Do You wanna hear a story?" His eyes roamed on both of us as he sat in the chair, placed at the
opposite of us. "Then let me share it with you!"
He sat on the chair and tapped on his chin before he started, "Once, there lived a princess, named
Diane Martinez. The only daughter of her father and trained to take his throne. She grew up with aim
but soon, that foolish girl chose to tarnish it all by falling in love with their gardener's son."
"They loved each other. And when her family gets to know, they were too angry for an obvious reason
and her father even slapped her once for the first time in life ever! He immediately fixed her marriage
with his friend's son."
"But Diane loved her lover so much and ran away with him the day before her marriage. Yet, they both
get caught. The guy whose marriage was fixed with her also loved her silently. Feeling betrayed, he
killed her lover before her eyes. Diane was enraged and she took revenge by killing him with torture.
However, was already pregnant by then."
"Her father realised his mistake and let his daughter live her life. Diane decided to give birth to her child
but the guy whom she killed his brother returned to take revenge. She was pregnant and so she could
give birth peacefully, she secretly hide in America. There she gave birth to two twin daughters but the
guy wanted to take revenge and followed her with a strong will."
"He gave the doctor money and bought her to kill the babies. Even though he could kill the woman at
once, he didn't but chose to take his time and torture her to death."
"The doctor announced the babies died while giving birth. In the meantime, that guy even killed her
parents. Diane was devastated and he lived happily to see her broken! But, soon she took over
everything and even adopted a son!"
"And at one business party, that guy also realised that her two daughters are still alive! That greedy
doctor didn't kill them but sold them!" He frowned bitterly in that part and continued, "One is in London
and the other one is in New York!"
He raised his brow at us. "Do I need to explain the daughters or do you get it?" He laughed. "Yeah, you
are the two daughters. And Diane Martinez is your mother."
My whole body felt numb and I was really on the verge of strangling that man! Just open my hands for
once you filthy shit!
"Let us go, Manchini! Or you don't know my husband! He will kill you!?" I shouted at him, feeling
enraged because of this situation.
Just when I am thinking of Aless and Leo and how crazy Aless would be while finding me disappear,
forcing me to lose my patience.
Manchini only laughed and shook his head. "You are too naive, Victoria. I thought a CEO and a
businesswoman like you must have some smartness, but clearly does not! Do you think I kept any
source for that husband of yours to reach here? Definitely not!"
He stood up. "Anyways, you sisters exchange your last words, and I will be right back." He smiled at us
and then left.
I struggled once to free myself but in vain as usual. I sat there helplessly, shocked by the entire
situation that felt like a nightmare.
I watched the girl from the corner of my eyes. she was quiet too, drowned in her thoughts. Well,
assuming, she also didn't know any of this.
However, staying silent would make me mad. I need to hear or say something.
"I... I have a husband and son at home. I just want to go to them." I spoke out my heart. "I don't want to
die."
Christine did not respond to my words for some time or looked up at me. A few seconds later, I heard,
"I want to save my babies. I am pregnant." She said and I gasped.
She looked up at me as I stared at her, and then my eyes dropped onto her flat stomach.
Immediately the horrible memories of my past started kicking in my head. I remember how I lost my
first baby and what happened during Leo! I was kidnapped too at that time and almost lost him!
"A... Are you feeling alright?" I couldn't help but ask.
Christine blinked and nodded, "Yeah, well for now at least. I am feeling so weak."
"Don't panic. Let me think of something." I muttered and we both fall into silence again, not knowing
what to do actually.
I want to talk or hear more things about her life but couldn't form a word. I am almost numb at this
point, feeling helpless for both of us.
I don't remember exactly how long We sat there. but then the door of the dark cell opened again and
Manchini came in along with a few other men.
"Times up, girls. I Hope you exchanged your last words." He smirked. "Now, let's get started. Whom
should we start?" He asked, clasping his hands together. It felt like he is deciding to play with his
favourite doll!
"You first." He turned to me. "She is pregnant and it would be fun to torture her!" Hearing his words I
gulped. This man is freaking crazy!
Oh, Lord! please help us!
He walked toward me and I stared right into his eyes. Even though my heart is beating faster and
crazily, I could not show my fear to this psycho!
"Bustard..." I muttered and it must infuriate him as he suddenly grabbed me by the hair and slapped my
face hard.
I fumbled in pain, yet did not lose my patience and stared at him in disgust.
He brought out a sharp blade and hold that on my right arm.
"no please!" Christine yelled, terrified and he laughed like a maniac.
"It's fun to let you see your sister being tortured, isn't it?"
He pressed the sharp knife on my arm tightly and I gasped in pain. Hold on Victoria. Even though you
are losing your life, you cannot let this man enjoy it. If you are dying then die with dignity so that he
can't sleep at night just imagining your face.
I closed my eyes and gulped, getting ready to die. I just hope I could see my loved ones for the last
time.
Just when I thought the sharp blade would slit my skin, I heard a loud thud and everything happened so
quickly before I could realise anything.
But, the pressure of the sharp blade was gone from my skin and I heard the painful groans of a man.
I opened my eyes, and oh! It's Aless! My Alessandro came for me!
He is holding Manchini by the neck and beating him up fiercely!!!
