Chapter 11 Who Is He?

• Aurora's POV
• I was reading a book after having dinner. Occasionally checking that officers are still out. It was almost past ten and I was wondering if he was going to come that night.
• What if he came but saw police at the door and went back?
• A part of me wanted him to come and get caught by police and a part of me wanted him to disappear and never come back like he never existed.
• I looked at the book again and realised that I was just looking at the page and was thinking about something else. I wasn't reading at all. My mind wasn't working properly, I was scared.
• My fear came to reality when I heard noise outside.
• He was out there! I clutched the book tightly as my stomach churned.
• I thought I won't be scared as the police were out but I was wrong, he scared me even with that hope.
• I placed the book down and got out of the bed, my hands trembled as I twisted the lock and opened my bedroom door.
• My soul almost knocked out of my body when I saw Rafael in the living room. He had his hands in his pockets and was standing like a boss.
• I gasped when I saw those men grunting in pain on the ground.
• He was looking at men and slowly looked up, straight into my soul. He didn't look like he had a fight with two police officers.
• He was standing untouched.
• My head started spinning for a second when he raised his eyebrows at me.
• "You promised you will be a good girl!"
• He sighed.
• "Why do you want to make it difficult for you, Angel?"
• He shook his head disappointed.
• I looked at him with teary eyes.
• "Please!"
• "Not a word!"
• He warned and I flinched.
• "You broke my trust..."
• The fuck I cared about his trust but I had nothing to say, I couldn't trust him with my safety as he had tackled two police officers.
• I looked at the door while thinking about running away and he tsked at me.
• "Try it!"
• He challenged.
• "Show me how stupid you can be"
• He stepped aside from my way.
• I was really stupid to think that I could escape, I was naive, I underestimated him and paid for it because I did what he challenged me for.
• I started running towards the door and he jerked me back while grabbing on my hair.
• It was sudden and painful, my back landed directly on his front.
• I sobbed in pain when he grabbed my jaw with the other hand.
• "I wanted to go easy on you but you have different plans it seems..."
• He released the grip on my hair and made me look at those men.
• "You really think these low life people can stop me from getting what belongs to me?"
• He gritted.
• "There is no one who can protect you from me, not even me!"
• I sobbed as his grip got painful.
• "Please, it's hurting"
• "You made a mistake now you will solve it."
• I couldn't understand when he said that but my eyes widened when he pulled out something from his waistband and I realised that it's a gun.
• I froze. I had no idea why he had a gun and why he pulled it out now.
• The first thought was, he was going to shoot me but then he unlocked the gun and forced me to hold it.
• My hands trembled with the weight of the metal.
• "Have you ever killed a human, Angel?"
• He smirked and I shook my head furiously when I realised what he was going to do to me.
• "No!"
• I hadn't even hurt an ant.
• "Today we will teach you a lesson, that you can't get away with the mistakes..."
• He patted my head and grabbed my hands which were holding a gun.
• "No!"
• I tried to move but his hold was tight on me, his chin rested on my shoulder as he tightened his grip.
• "Don't move!"
• He ordered making me freeze.
• "You could have hired better men..."
• There was a disappointment in his voice.
• "These high on sugar men can't even protect you from the street dog. Let alone protecting you from the Rafael Delgado!"
• He finally told me his surname. It felt familiar, I have heard that name before but couldn't recollect where.
• Who the fuck was Rafael Delgado and why was he so confident about himself, I wanted to scream that but I was in terror.
• I sobbed harder when he forced my finger on the trigger.
• "No, No, No!"
• I screamed and closed my eyes when he tightened his hold and pulled the trigger.
• He moved my hand and pulled the trigger again. Two gunshots rang in my ears and head leaving me in complete shock.
• I felt him taking away the gun from my hands and lifting his chin up from my shoulder.
• "Welcome to my darkness, Angel"
• He chuckled while kissing my shoulder.
• "We should celebrate your first murders, your shot was perfect by the way... I am proud of you."
• I flinched when he ran his hand through my hair.
• "Why don't you open your pretty eyes and have a look."
• I refused to open my eyes and see the sin he forced me to do. I couldn't understand what to do. I killed police officers!
• I could have been punished for that, they could have arrested me. Rafael trapped me.
• I was going crazy while thinking about all the circumstances when I almost lost my balance and he pushed me on the chair.
• My eyes snapped open and found him staring down at me in adoration.
• "You look beautiful when you cry..."
• He smirked.
• I wasn't surprised by his words, from the past few hours I had come to realize that this man is twisted.
• What shook my world was, two dead bodies lying in my house.
• I cried looking at them and heard him sigh.
• "Are you crying because they are dead or because you killed them?"
• He asked.
• What was the fucking question.
• "Because you forced me to kill them"
• I sobbed loudly.
• "I didn't kill anyone... I didn't!"
• I yelled.
• He sighed and looked at the dead bodies.
• "Okay, you didn't... Now try telling that to the police..."
• He smirked at me and my eyes widened in horror.
• No, he can't do that. That gun had my fingerprints.
• "Let's inform the police that their honourable men were killed by a girl they wanted to protect..."
• He mocked.
• "I didn't"
• I shook my head.
• "You know I didn't... Why are you doing this?..."
• I cried my heart out.
• "Please don't call the police, please don't inform them..."
• "But you went to them first..."
• He leaned down and caressed my cheek.
• "You involved them in this... It's your fault and you should pay for it."
• "Rafael, please don't do this"
• I pleaded. My helpless eyes looked into his cold one.
• "You won't dare to mess with me after tonight."
• He smirked and pulled out the phone from my pocket.
• "Call them!"
• He ordered.
• I shook my head furiously.
• "Please, I beg you!"
• "Let's practice shooting more"
• He grabbed my arm and I cowered back with a scream.
• "No!"
• He was going to made me shoot more bullets in bodies, that was fucked up.
• "I won't ask again"
• His voice turned hard.
• I blinked my teary eyes and grabbed the phone with my trembling hands, it felt like they would get paralysed anytime.
• I dialled the number and they answered the call. Rafael was looking at me with the look which said, I have you in my clutches now.
• "Hello, I am Aurora"
• I couldn't control my crying.
• "Aurora, is everything okay... Is he there?..."
• I was Ken on the call. I had no idea how he would react after knowing that his men are dead.
• "Yes!"
• I nodded not realising that he couldn't see me.
• "Can you come here with more men"
• I replied, what if he comes alone and Rafael kills him too.
• I looked at Rafael after disconnecting the call.
• He chuckled at me.
• "You are smart!"
• I had no idea that he meant it or mocked me but his expressions told me that he read what I was trying to do.
• And that made him more dangerous. He sat beside me on the chair, took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves just like he did the night before.
• "Let's wait until they come!"
• He said casually like we are sitting at a cafe and waiting for friends.
• I thought he was going to leave after making me call them and make them arrest me for murder but he sat beside me waiting for them.
• I had no idea what was going on in his mind but it wasn't good. His smirk warned me by sending chills to my terrified soul.
• I wasn't able to understand who Rafael Delgado was?
