Chapter 85
*warning, violent scene*
“What’s taking her so long?” Jace whined impatiently, “The priest is getting impatient.” He whispered to Ade who was by his side.
“You know how females are with delaying.” His best friend shrugged, “She would be walking through that door soon.”
Jace was about to turn to the priest when a loud scream was heard. It was obviously from Korina’s room, the two men looked at each other before breaking into a run with the rest of the family following them.
“You are full of lies Russo.” Korina screamed, “How dare you say so? How dare you even show your face here?”
“I have proof sweetheart.” He said throwing an envelope towards her, “and I have a video.” He smirked feeling proud that his dad had recorded Jace doing sick stuff.
“She died years ago.” She said, “What ever you say now is false.”
“Look in the envelope bitch!” He screamed at her.
Korina opened the envelope, gruesome images of her mother’s body met her. She was freshly dead in them on the floor of a warehouse. She looked at the next pictures and saw her naked with what looked like a teenage Jace bent over her with a knife.
“No! No! No!” She wanted to tear the pictures, “This can’t be him, he didn’t kill her.” She screamed at him, “It’s all lies, it’s all fake.”
“Well the pictures don’t prove that he killed her but this does.” He pulled out his phone and walked over to her.
He handed her the phone and clicked on a video.
Korina watched it and her world turned up side down, her fairy tale turned into a nightmare.
“Please, please don’t do this.” She saw her mother plead, even tho the video quality was low, she knew it was her mother, she was tied to a chair, bleeding, her naked body badly bruised.
She saw a man go before her, he looked exactly like Jace and she knew he was his father, he usually ranted about how much he hated their similarities.
The man slapped her mother repeatedly across the face, “Shut up bitch.” He spat, “Black monkey.”
Her mum sobbed, nodding and keeping her mouth shut.
“Bring that fucker over here for me.” The man growled, “Bring Darius here.” She saw him being dragged to his father and watched his his dad slapped him in the face, “Worthless piece of shit, swine!” He spat.
The poor boy whimpered.
“You helped her escape didn’t you?” He dragged his son by the hair, “Now you are gonna kill her.”
“I can’t, I won’t.” Jace challenged him and he received a blow which caused him to land on the floor.
His father handed him a gun when he rose to his feet, “Kill her.” He instructed him, “Kill the bitch or I will kill you.”
“I won’t.” Jace screamed, “And you already killed me a long time ago.”
“You dare to challenge me?” He pounced on him beating him mercilessly.
Korina’s tears had ruined her make up by now.
“Shoot that monkey.” Jace resisted and with each resistance he got beaten.
It was when her mother couldn’t take it anymore that she nodded her head his way and Jace agreed, he pulled the trigger killing her.
The door was broken down, every one rushed in and Jace wanted the earth to swallow him, she knows, He knew that she had found out with the look on her face.
“Korina!” Jace called, “I know…”
“Stay the fuck away from me!” She screamed.
“Korina please.” He moved closer to her, “Please let me explain.”
“When were you gonna tell me?” She screamed at him, “When were you gonna tell me that you killed my mother?”
“Korina, babe.” He said, “We can talk about this.”
“Now, this is fun to watch.” Russo laughed.
“You told her!” Ade screamed at Russo and dragged him out of the room.
Claire was in tears while Korina’s friends and her aunt remained shocked at the scene.
“I was going to tell you when it was right.” He looked at her pleadingly and got on his knees, “Please my love, we can talk about this.”
“I hate you!” She screamed, “I can’t marry you.” She pulled off her engagement ring and threw it at him, “Go to hell.”
“Korina.” Jace was crying now and still on his knees, “I swear I didn’t want to do it, I didn’t mean to do it, I didn’t mean to kill your mother.”
“Mum!” Daniella screamed as Aunt Dido collapsed, “Help!” She screamed, Anne and Claire rushed to her side.
Korina and Jace didn’t notice that aunt Dido had fainted as their attention were on each other.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“I don’t want you to come near me or my baby.”
“You are pregnant?!” He smiled, “I am gonna be a father?” He asked pointing at himself.
“No, you are not going to be in this child’s life, not now, not ever.” She bent to pick a gun from the ground and pointed it at Jace.
“Korina please, I love you.” Jace pleaded, “We can work things out.”
“I can’t believe you killed my mother.” She cried out, “You never told me all this while even after witnessing my grief, I can’t believe that I am carrying the child of my mother’s murderer.”
“Korina, I love you, don’t leave me please.” He pleaded even while knowing it was useless.
“I can’t stay with you.” She removed her veil and shoes throwing them aside, the glass shoes got shattered, “You will stay away from me Jace, I will make sure of it.” She said pulling the trigger on the gun she held, she aimed it at his leg, the shot rang out loud and Jace’s world became black.
