Chapter 56: The Escape!

Mario ran like he had never done before, and he came on time with the silver gun in his hand. He handed it to Marcello and stepped away.

Marcello was furious. It’s almost as if he has been so blinded by anger that he doesn’t know what he is doing anymore.

’What if he hurts himself? Do I stop him?’

Eduardo pondered.

"Don’t even think of stopping him, Eddy. You’ll get in his way. Let him finish dealing with the betrayer" Nikolai’s voice rang in Eduardo’s ear as if he read his memory. Nikolai just leaned on the wall with a grin on his face as if he was watching a movie.

Marcello checked the bullets in the gun and saw that they were complete. He put the gun back in its place and pointed it at Viktor. Viktor tried to speak, but he had socks in his mouth.

"Giving you a chance to explain will make me even more pissed, Viktor. Everything here is proof of your wrongdoings and betrayal. You did all this for me? Lies, Viktor. Lies! I don’t need anything from you. You, of all people, know that I don’t take innocent lives, yet you made me kill Carlo and his family" Marcello moved closer and was still pointing the gun at Viktor, who was still struggling to speak.

"I’m just going to get revenge on you on his behalf. Once I’m done with you, make sure you apologize to Carlo in the afterlife. Not just him but every one of his family members. The number of bullets I used in killing him and his family will be wasted on you" Marcello added.

Eduardo tightened his lips, not wanting to say anything. He was a bit excited to see what was happening.

’Revenge on my behalf? Apologise to me in the afterlife? Too bad, I’m still here because I would have loved to get revenge myself. To think this old fart is responsible for all this’

Eduardo heard a gunshot and snapped back to reality. The bullet went through his palm. Viktor let out a muffled scream, staring at the hole in his hand.

Marcello was not going to show mercy to the man who raised him.

"That’s the first shot, and it’s for his younger sister", he said and still pointed the gun at Viktor, ignoring his groan and scream.

There was another gunshot on his lap.

"That’s for his younger brother," he said, with a cold voice.

The guards watched in horror as the bullet went into his body and Viktor started to bleed profusely. There was no glimpse of mercy in Marcello’s eyes.

"My cousin is being soft on him. Is it because the old man was responsible for raising him? Hmmm..." Nikolai rubbed his chin. The guards heard that and we’re puzzled.

"That’s him being soft?"

They wondered.

Another gunshot rang out.

"That’s for his father" Marcello said and then pointed at his other leg. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

"This is for his mother and finally..."

He pointed the gun at his head.

Everyone fell silent. The head?

"He’s not going to kill the butler, is he?"

"That man has done a lot for the young master and even saved him several times when he was a child"

Everyone waited in anticipation. After a long, muffled screaming, the socks were soaked wet, and they slipped out of Viktor’s mouth.

"Ha! Young master. It’ll be a relief if I die by your hands" Viktor said as his breathing got heavy and slow. He struggled to move closer to Marcello, grabbing the gun and pushing it to his forehead.

"Go ahead and pull the trigger, young master. Kill me!!!!" Viktor yelled as a weird grin appeared across his face. He stained the silver gun with his blood while staring deeply into Marcello’s dead eyes.

"As you wish. I’ll end your life once and for..." Before he could complete his sentence, the lights went out in the whole house. Everyone began to murmur. This has never happened before. By the time it came back up, Viktor was nowhere to be found. And there was a stranger with a mask on, standing by the window.

"Forgive me, young master, but I’ll be taking the master with me", the person said with a slight bow. He raised his head and exchanged glances with Eduardo.

He turned around and immediately jumped out. Marcello had the chance to pull the trigger but he couldn’t. The gun slipped off his hand as he staggered towards Eduardo.

"That’s it for today! Showtime is over! Get lost!" Nikolai smiled at the guards that were outside. They immediately dispersed and went back to their rooms.

After everything, he was still unable to kill Viktor. If Marcello wanted to kill him, he would have done so when he grabbed his gun from Mario.

Marcello leaned his head on Eduardo’s chest.

"Take...take me out of here, Eddy" he whispered.

Eduardo wrapped his hand around Marcello’s head and looked at Mario, who had a bit of jealousy in his expression.

"Take the gun back with you, Mario and this mess..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. That’s my job, anyway. Take the boss back to his room" Mario waved his hand at Eduardo and turned his face away.

"Thank you,", Eduardo said and walked with Marcello back to his room. He got to the room and carefully helped him on the bed.

He took off his shoes and socks before covering him with the duvet.

"I’m proud of you, Marcy. Thank you" he mumbled, touching his forehead. Marcello’s eyes were closed and he remained in a still state, almost as if he was asleep.

Eduardo stretched his hands and yawned. It was past midnight already. He had just realised that if Marcello wasn’t in his room at that time, he would have lost his life. Viktor was ready to end his life, all because he was being a distraction.

’Maybe I’m indeed a distraction to him. I could avoid him a bit when I was Carlo, but is there a way to do so now that I’m his slave? Ah! I better head back to my room’

Eduardo turned around to leave and a rough hand clasped his wrist, stopping him from leaving.

"Huh? Are you awake?" His eyes beamed.

"Eddy?" Marcello called.

"Yes, it’s me... I’m glad you’re..."

"Eddy?" Marcello called again. Eduardo touched his hand.

"Hey! I’m awake. Just open your eyes already you bastard" Eduardo was already getting furious.

"You’re still being mean to me, babe" Marcello’s lips curved into a weak smile. Maybe he still taking time to process Viktor’s betrayal.

"What do you what? Water?" Eduardo asked, with an indifferent face.

"Come closer... And kiss me. Do it roughly, Eddy. It’s an order from a master to his... Slave" Marcello ordered, in a calm voice.
