Chapter 23
85
Savienna's eyes had earlier become deeper. And his black aura was more dominant. I saw Abbygayle get up from her coffin earlier, while Savienna quietly walked back to where we were.
"Sabrina, don't let him manipulate you. He's good at that." Savienna whispered softly, I was a little amazed at how well she controlled her bloodlust. How I wish I can control mine like that.
"Listen you psycho you can't just attack like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!" I heard Pierce preach to Savienna, I looked at them and I just hid my smile when I saw how much you boss Savienna while Pierce scolded.
"I'm sorry okay? I am just pissed! I didn't expect that either! It's my bloodlust who controlled me." Savienna said, I heard Pierce just shrugged at Savienna and patted his forehead.
"Don't attack without my signal, you psycho!" He reminded. Savienna just nodded at Pierce, so I turned my attention back to Deus and Patrick who were just staring at us.
"Long time no see, my dear Savienna. Did my experiment on you worked well?" Dr. asked with a smile. Patrick. She is the reason why Savienna became like that? Not Mom?
Oh my god, this is so confusing! I'm confused!
"Shut up. You cunt." Savienna said emphatically, I looked at her and I saw that Pierce was already holding her and we were sure that she wouldn't start just like that.
"And you ... Sabrina Lacsamana. I've looked everywhere just to find you ... and here you are. Hellion really hid you well huh?" Dr. smiled. Patrick, he approached Saint and smiled at me.
"I admire Hellion for being so strong, after all the whips and torturing the poison still works in her body? Bravo!" He said with a laugh and applauded.
"What did you do to her?" I can"t help but ask Patrick that.
"Just a little whips, and torturing happened these last few days. And now he is our human zombie now." Dr. Patrick said as if he had won a lotto. I can not believe. I know Saint won't let them do that without a reason!
"And I'm glad Hellion didn't fight back. Just a little threatening of you being dead works." They threatened Saint! He said if he fights they will kill me ?! Oh my god, my baby ..
"What did you do?" I asked them.
He smirked at me and pulled a remote control out of his pocket.
"This thing controls Saint Santillana, if you don't do the thing that I want you to do. I'll blow up his head." No!
"Don't you ever lay a finger on him!" I shouted at Dr. Patrick. He just. laughed at me and took a deep breath.
"Okay, I won't. But in one condition ...." He is making a truce! And he's making me choose.
"I will let Saint live, but you need to give me your position as the Second Highest Mafia Boss and Saint's position also." He said with a smile.
I would gladly to give him my position but Saint's position? I am not sure of that. He struggled to get to the top of this organization. I can't just gamble that lightly.
"Sabrina, don't." I heard Psalm whisper to me. I can't believe what Patrick Sudalga wants, he is in nuts! The two of them and Deus are going crazy!
"How sure are you that you won't hurt Saint when I give you what you want?" I asked him a tough question.
"A hundred and one percent sure. You must trust me, I don't do unfair business."
"Yours and Hellion's position in exchange of his life. Do you agree with that?" Patrick Sudalga asked me again.
I can't gamble on Saint's life, and even more so I can't hurt anyone else. They are risking too much just to protect me and I can't accept that I will just give that to Patrick.
"Sabrina, I'm waiting ..." I heard Dr. Patrick with a pissed off voice.
"I can't rely on Saint's position, but you can take mine." I said.
"Sabrina! What are you thinking?" I heard Savienna's annoyed shout at me. I looked at him and he seemed to want to come up to me to hit me but Pierce stopped him.
"Hmm, half of the deal? Then I'll give you Hellion's half life too. 50/50 situation of his life for a half deal." 50/50 survival status is bad. Super bad. That is not possible.
"My position and Saint's full life. Not half, my position is high enough to satisfy you." I said again. He laughed at me and swallowed his senses.
"But not high enough, I want you and Hellion out of my way! And no more problems!" He smiled and promised, I rolled my eyes at him.
"Then I have no choice but to do this ..." I whispered softly.
"Do what?" Kunot when asked by Dr. Patrick.
"LACSAMANA! WILL FOREVER BE IN THIS HISTORY! WE WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED! NEVER!" I shout.
And that was the sign my Mom was waiting for and everything will be in chaos.
I saw the shock in Dr.'s eyes. Patrick one by one Mommy's staff left. I can"t hide my joy because we have a big chance of winning with them. Deus was also shocked when that happened so I just smiled.
"What is happening ?!" Annoyed cry of Dr. Patrick and I saw how he was in a hurry to move.
The human zombies are one by one collapsing because of the speed of movement of Mommy"s crew. They all move fast and without wasting time.
"Stop it!" Dr. insisted. Patrick.
But even though no one listened to him, I soon saw how he lifted the remote he was holding to control Saint.
In an instant move I immediately ran towards the direction of Dr. Patrick and pulled the remote from his hand. I saw the shock in his eyes because he didn"t expect what was happening.
"What the hell? Lacsamana! Gave me back that remote!" He shouted in disgust, I just laughed at Dr.'s reaction. Patrick and immediately looked at the remote.
No doubt I smashed it with both my hands, I saw the unpainted face of Dr. Patrick. I looked at Saint and saw that the former aura of his personality was slowly returning.
"You won't get away with this!" Dr. shouted. Patrick.
He approached Deus and whispered, I saw Deus nod and I was surprised when Abbygayle suddenly ran towards me and was ready to attack me.
But my reflexes were very strong and I immediately avoided his attack. I looked at Savienna and saw that they were also busy fighting against the human zombies of Deus.
I wasted no time and when I got behind Gayle I immediately kicked her hard. I did not expect that my kick would be strengthened and that he would be out of balance and submerged on the floor.
But he immediately stood up and when he looked at me I was surprised by what I saw. Her eyes ... her bloodlust ... her eyes are like a snake's eyes. And I know that at any moment he is ready to end my life.
When he rushed at me I immediately avoided. Her reflexes got even faster and I knew when she caught me it was my end.
"What are you going to do? Sabrina Lacsamana? Just dodging? Oh how weak you are." he said laughing, my forehead frowned when he suddenly pulled my dagger behind him.
Uh-oh.
He threw one at me and unfortunately I couldn"t dodge right away so, it immediately sank into my thigh. I groaned in pain and looked badly at him, I tried to control myself. I can't panic! Not now!
"What now? Are you suppressing your bloodlust? Just let it go, Sabrina. Just let it reign you, Sis." She said with a smile, I immediately closed my eyes because I seemed to be hypnotized by Abbygayle's eyes.
I was surprised when I felt a caress on my back so I immediately jumped. It's Gayle.
"Don't hold back, Sabrina. Let the bloodlust reign your system. It feels so great!" I could feel my horror at every word Gayle uttered.
Deep breath, Sabrina. Deep breath. Don't let, her ruin your control. He will not lose control of your body.
"I see, your body's defense mechanism is high enough to make a wall. But can I do that?" I immediately opened my eyes and looked for Gayle. I was almost weak when I saw him approaching Saint who had not yet regained consciousness.
"Let's play a game. Suppose Hellion is the princess, you are the prince and I am the dragon. And you need to kill me first before saving ㅡ" I didn't let him finish speaking and I immediately threw the dagger that was buried earlier in my thigh in his direction.
I saw how the dagger I threw at his forehead sank. Bitch.
My hands are shaking and I can't believe what I've done, maybe that's an adrenaline rush because I'm nervous and maybe Saint will be damned.
I hurried to Saint and I just smiled as he slowly opened his eyes. The different colors of his eyes and his tired looks opened up to me.
"B-baby ..."
I smiled at Saint and helped him sit up. He was panting and his body could hardly be seen because of the number of wounds.
"What happened?" He asked as his gaze traveled inside the Ring Of Fire. Everything is in chaos.
"I'll explain everything to you, later but please ... help me get rid of those two." I said and pointed to Deus and Dr. Patrick talking seriously.
"I can't take them down in one blow ... my body is so weak .." He said softly. I smiled at him sincerely and cupped his beautiful face.
"I'm here. I'll help you."
I saw the doubt in Saint's eyes. I gave him an assured smile. He took a deep breath and stood up. He grabbed my hand and helped me stand up.
"Fine. Just stay at my back, just attack when it's needed."
I was like a dog while nodding and just following in Saint"s footsteps. He calmly walks towards Deus and Dr. Patrick as I was about to eat my body with nervousness.
Whatever happens I know I'm safe.
Saint is here. He's here.
"I can't believe you were able to survive in that situation?" Deus asked Saint with a laugh, I was even more nervous when I saw the anger in their eyes. They are so mad.
"What did you do to me and my girl?" Saint asked Deus with his deep voice. Even I was horrified at Saint"s current aura. I looked into his eyes and my jaw dropped at what I saw ...
His eyes ... they're both red! What the actual fuck! I tried to look again but the color of her two eyes was really red!
Is this bad? His bloodlust is clearly showing ...
"Come on, Hellion! Can we take advantage of both the Mafia Heiress, with all her money and power? You can rule both Mafia Worlds." Dr. replied. Patrick. What the hell is he saying?
"But hurting her costs everything Dr. Patrick and Deus ... do you know how dangerous am I right now?" Saint's tough question to them. How dangerous is he right now?
"Whatever you say Hellion! That bitch of yours is just useless when we don't take advantage!" Deus shouted. I heard Saint sigh and I was surprised when he suddenly rushed the two.
Saint and Dr.'s movements were very fast. Patrick, on the other hand, avoids all of Saint's blows. I couldn"t help but be nervous and I didn"t know what to do.
Saint's gaze suddenly deepened and he became more aggressive, when he caught Dr. Patrick's neck he did not let go of it and slowly lifted him into the air.
"You have no right to call Klea, a bitch nor useless!" I could see his grip getting worse.
"S-s-she's a r-real b-b-bitch a-afterall!"
"Shut up!" Saint shouted in Dr.'s face. Patrick. I looked at Psalm and saw the sadness in his eyes.
My eyes immediately widened when Deus suddenly stabbed Saint with a throw knife.
I started to panic and I was more nervous.
"Saint!" I shouted when I saw him weakening again, he is not fully recovered! And that impact may shatter his body!
Dr. had a chance. Patrick retaliated against Saint so he immediately kicked it very hard. Saint's body immediately flew towards me, I immediately attended to him and saw him coughing up his own blood.
"I'm okay ... don't worry ..." He sighed.
My vision darkened and I stood up. I looked at them and I wasted no time and I immediately rushed to them.
But that was a very wrong move because I didn"t think they were stronger than me. They dodged my attack and had a chance to hit me instead.
"Klea !!" I heard Saint shout as I felt the pain of Deus kick me.
I looked at Saint and saw that he was also having difficulty moving because of the number of wounds on his body. I can't even help him! I am still useless like before. I am still weak! I still can't save myself ...
I saw how Saint's eyes returned to it's original color. They are not both red anymore, the other one is now brown like before.
Is he tired already? I just smiled at him deeply. I heard the approaching footsteps of Deus and Dr. Patrick.
"I told you Santillana, you can't beat us." I heard Deus say. They are wrong, I know Saint is stronger than them.
I heard gunshots so I was immediately alert and I immediately looked in their direction. They are holding a gun!
No! No ....
"No !!!" I shouted when I saw them point the gun at Saint.
"God! You can't do that !! Stop!" I almost crawled closer to Saint.
I also heard Savienna's shout. I just cried.
"Goodbye, Saint Santillana." Deus said smiling and pulled the trigger of his gun.
But I didn"t expect what I saw.
"NOOOO !!!"
"Mom !!" Savienna and I shouted at the same time. She saved Saint .... she dodged the bullet for Saint! She sacrificed her life for Saint!
I got up and immediately approached where Saint and Mommy were. I looked at Deus and he was also surprised at what he did.
"K-klea ... I-I'm sorry ..." Saint apologized. Savienna is standing behind my back and she is not moving. She is just staring at Mommy, being clothed with her own blood.
God shot her at her head. So he is unlikely to survive. I just cried as I hugged my knee. I can't believe, how can they do such thing?
If Mommy didn't do that, Saint could die ... but why in most people why Mommy?
"Oh, how touching ..." I heard Dr. Patrick. I stood up and wiped the tears from my face and looked at them.
I looked at Savienna and I also saw the anger in their eyes. I will never forgive Deus for what he did.
"Who wants to follow?" Deus asked with a smile and it was as if nothing had happened to him. The shock on his face had disappeared before and that fun had replaced it.
"Lacsamana's wife is gone, the only thing left is you two, your twin." Deus said smiling, but I knew I was the only one they could finish.
Savienna is very strong and Deus will not just knock her down. I was shocked when Savienna suddenly pulled the daggers from Abbygayle and threw them at Deus one by one.
I saw that Deus was alarmed so he immediately dodged the daggers that were heading towards where he was. I also saw Saint stand up and approach Dr. Patrick.
"Can you do much faster than that? Savienna?" Deus asked smiling. I studied all the moves of Deus.
He is fast, I admit that. But I know I am much faster than him.
I quickly ran towards him and I immediately snatched the gun he was holding earlier, I immediately snatched it from him because he was distracted by the daggers that Savienna was throwing.
He seemed surprised at what I did and he didn't expect that.
"What the hell? Give me back my gun!" Deus shouted. I ignored him and immediately who the gun was and pointed it at him.
I saw the shock in his eyes and immediately stopped moving. While Savienna grinned broadly because of what I did. She still has a lot of daggers in her hand and I didn't expect Abbygayle to carry that many daggers.
But sadly, she died too soon.
"Give me back my gun, Sabrina!" He shouted.
I just laughed at what Deus said.
"I haven't stopped you when you killed my Mom! So you have no right to stop me from what I do!" I shouted at him.
"Oh well, you can do whatever you want. But I know you can't shoot me! You are too good for you to shoot me!" He said with a smile.
"Sabrina, shoot him. Don't hesitate." Savienna commanded while looking at me seriously.
I looked at Savienna and she immediately nodded at me. I looked at Deus and I saw the pride on his face.
"Go, Sabrina. Pull that trigger, let's see if you can do it." He said with a smile.
"I know you're too good to shoot me, I know you Sabrina. You're so smart." He added.
I took a deep breath and tightened my grip on the gun I snatched from him.
"Sabrina! Do it!" Savienna shouted again.
"Oh come on, Savienna I know your sister couldn't do it. She is too pure for this."
"She is nothing but a useless crybaby in your family!" Smiling Deus said.
I frowned at what Deus said. I can"t accept him killing Mommy. She is just trying to save Saint, and I can't believe what did he just do.
I no longer hesitated and pointed the gun at him with the best aim to his head.
"I'm sorry, Deus. But you don't know me that well" I said.
And without any thoughts, I pulled the trigger.
I looked at Deus' body fell into the floor with his eyes opened and seemed unable to believe what had happened. I looked at Saint and saw that he was lying on the floor and while Dr. Patrick was not breathing.
Did we win? I looked at them and I saw them smile. We won ... I smiled at them and immediately approached Saint.
He is silently sleeping..he is holding the left side of his body. Where he was stabbed.
"Baby ... we won .." I whispered to him.
"It's all done ..."
"It's done ..."
After that day we are brought to the underground hospital. I recovered quickly while Saint was still not waking up. The doctor said he suffered severe damage to his body and brain.
The poison nearly killed his brain, and it almost crushed his body. But he still manages to kill Dr. Patrick, even though he's having a hard time.
The doctor said he will wake up in a few days, because his body is still at rest. And there is a possibility that he will forget some events.
I stared at my engagement ring and took a deep breath. I'm here now at Saint's mansion, and Savienna and Pierce aren't letting me out.
"Sabrina? Do you want something?" Savienna asked as she adjusted the couch pillows.
"Can you let me out?" I will ask.
"No, sis. You know it's not safe yet ㅡ"
"She can go out. I'll go with her." I looked at Psalm because of what he said. I smiled at what Psalm said.
"Okay fine, but return her before 7pm. And don't stay away." I nodded to Savienna and immediately stood up.
Psalm was about to get his car ready but I told him I wanted to walk. He did nothing and followed my wishes.
We walked quietly inside the area of Saint"s mansion. I stopped when I could see the playground, I walked towards the swing and sat down.
I tried to forget everything that happened but I couldn't ... everything was fresh to me and it seemed like it all happened because of me.
"Sabrina? Are you okay?" I heard Psalm ask who was also sitting on the other swing.
"Yeah, don't mind me. I still can't get what happened out of my mind." I say weakly.
"Then, don't think about it. Just move it on." He said and slowly moved the swing he was sitting on.
"But still ... many are lost, many are lost because of me ... everyone close to me is lost ..." I said.
"Those who are lost are not your fault, they choose to save you even if there is no guarantee that they will also be saved. It is not your fault, it's our choice to stay by your side and save you." I nodded at what he said.
He is right. I shouldn't blame myself because they wanted to stay by my side, and I didn't force them.
But I don't really understand Psalm, when I met him he was very kind but now he looks like a different person ... who is he really?
"Can I ask you a question?" I asked her.
"Spill it."
"Why did you approach me, in the first place? And you even courted me. Is that part of Dr. Patrick's plan?" I asked. I looked at him and saw him staring at the sky. He sighed.
"I liked you, genuinely. Until now. But I can't do anything, you already have Saint so I just stayed away. I went to the OS because Papa ordered me. I don't even get the chance to say goodbye to you "But I'm happy to see you there again, everything I did in the past is not for my Dad. I did it, genuinely." I smiled at what Psalm said.
This is the closure I am looking for.
"I'm sorry that I can't like you back ... ㅡ"
"It's okay, I understand. I also accept that you're really Saint." He said and laughed softly.
"And he is better than me. And you deserve him. I am happy for you, are you getting married?" He asked and I nodded.
"I apologize in advance because I might not be able to go to your wedding. I'm going to fly to the US to handle family business and I might migrate there."
"And this maybe, our last day together."
"Thank you, Psalm. Thank you for everything. I will never forget everything you did for me, I owe you a lot." I couldn"t help but sigh as I watched Psalm.
"Come on, don't cry. I'm still going here to visit. Thank you too, Sabrina. For making me feel what it's like to, like someone. Thank you." I stood up and so did he.
I hugged him and just cried. This will be the last time I will be seeing Psalm. The first friend I've ever had.
When we were gone he smiled painfully and wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Good bye, Sabrina. Thank you, for everything." He said and I felt him kiss my forehead so I was surprised.
"Don't tell Saint that ah!" He smiled and turned his back on me.
The figure of Psalm slowly receded, and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Good bye, Psalm. Thank you, for being my friend."
From: Savienna
Saint is awake.
I immediately smiled at the message I received from Savienna. And I'm also nervous because he might not remember me again. I immediately put on casual clothes and almost ran to the car parked outside.
"In the OS, we are." I said again. My chauffeur nodded at me and started driving.
I rated the OS quickly, so I immediately ran to the hospital where Saint is now staying.
I took a deep breath and knocked on her room. When I got inside, I saw him sitting sluggishly on the hospital bed and not wanting to look at the food in front of him.
"Saint ..." I called to him. He immediately turned to me and his face immediately lit up.
I immediately approached him and hugged him. The food on the hospital tray almost fell, but it was a good thing and he managed to get rid of it quickly.
"You're safe ... thank God .." He said softly while caressing the back of my head.
I separated from him and sat in the mono block chair next to his hospital bed.
"You remembered me?" I asked her, her forehead slightly furrowed because of what I said.
"Of course, why can I forget you?" He asked confused, I smiled at him and shook my head.
"Nothing, I just thought." I said again.
"How long have I slept?" He asked me, I barely stopped and counted the days he slept.
"Hmm ... I think two weeks?" I'm not sure what to say.
"Do you know that I've dreamed alot about you? While I'm asleep my dreams are always about you, like, you marrying me, you bearing our child" I smiled at what Saint said.
"I missed you .." I whispered softly.
"I miss you too, baby .." He said.
I patted his head and pulled out the tray where his food was.
"Did you eat already." I said.
He immediately shook his head. "Feed me." He said with a smile, I just fell on my forehead.
Sometimes Saint is really very childish, I don't get why he is like that sometimes. Sometimes too clingy, sometimes too clingy.
"I don't want to, you have a hand." I said.
"Please?" He said and made puppy eyes! The hell? What's with him today?
"I don't want to! Do your own thing, you have a hand." What a shame!
He sighed and pouted. He pouted right infront of me! Oh my god, he is so cute and adorable. He acted like he was sulking and didn't want to look at me.
"Okay fine." Saint smiled at what I said and immediately opened his mouth.
I sighed. I immediately shot him and he was happy to chew on you. Tss, really childish.
"Where do you want to get married?" Even if he was the one eating, I would soon be shocked because of what he said.
Why is he bringing that up?
"Do you want it here? In the Philippines, for no divorce or abroad?" He asked me.
"Uhm ..."
I can't speak, I mean it's good to get. married here. I don't have a problem with that, and I'm not choosy about where Saint and I will marry.
And wherever we get married, we will get married again in the organization. But as for Saint, I know he wants a grand wedding.
"It's okay if you can't decide now, I don't mind. Besides, let's still plan for the event." He simply said, I smiled at him and pointed the spoon at him again.
He immediately shot it and smiled at me.
"How about children? How many do you want?" I was immediately humbled by what Saint said and I could feel the criticism on both my cheeks. I heard him laughing so I immediately pinched him.
"Crazy! Get well first!" I preached to him.
"Why? Do I need a lot of energy? Is that how much you want?" I covered my face because of what Saint said.
"What's wrong with you?!" I was embarrassed to ask him.
"I am just kidding baby, but I don't mind twelve children though." t-twelve ?! I couldn"t help myself and I walked out of Saint"s hospital room.
I could still hear his laughter while I was still blushing with shame. What did he eat? Why is he such hype?
"Oh? Why are you out there? That came in." I looked up at the sudden speaker and I was surprised to see Ate Mary.
"A-ate M-mary?" I can't believe what I said.
"Hi baby Sab ..."
