Chapter 104
Enzo:
Το say that I was furious would not be an understatement.
Now, I knew that the man would stoop low, but this was far beyond that, and I knew that IF he wasn’t stopped, then he was going to be doing more than what he was.
“Alaria…”
“We are going to need to get out,” she said, and I nodded. I didn’t need to be told twice, but right now, I knew that we were going to have to be careful. One wrong move could not only cost our lives, but also Ashton’s. And I was going to kill anyone who dared lay a finger on my
son.
“Mama…
“Shh, baby.” She whispered, assuring him. I looked at his teary face as I held him in my arms, and I watched as she extended a hand to him, kissing his knuckle.
“We’ll get you out of here, my little champion. But I am going to need you to be strong.” I said, and he nodded. I kissed his temple as I wiped his tears, and it wasn’t until I took sight of his maid that my heart clenched. The woman was dead.
I covered Ashton’s face, not wanting him to see her body before I looked at Alaria. The two of us shared the same silent message, we knew that things weren’t going to be easy. But we were going to have to manage them our way.
We ran out of the room without making much noise, making sure to use the muffling sound of the fire to blur our steps out. At this point, I knew that Jacob was well aware of where we were, one of the reasons why we avoided all windows. He would have his eyes there, waiting for us to make the mistake of showing our faces. And that wasn’t something that I aimed to give him.
I looked at the door, knowing that someone would be outside. I looked at Ashton for a moment, the child wasn’t supposed to be here. Jacob was sick for involving him right now, and I was going to be sure that he paid for it.
“Ashton, you’re going to keep your eyes closed, okay?” I asked, and he frowned in confusion. “Think of it as a game, one that you are not going to want to lose. I don’t want you to open your eyes.”
“Okay.” He said, and I handed him to Alaria. She shook her head in question, and I nodded toward the door. The one way out of here was this door, but I wasn’t dumb, I knew that even thinking of opening it wasn’t going to be smart. The men would not only be waiting for us,
but there were fire, and the frightened humans to deal with too. At this point, anywhere safe from the fire was going to be worth trying, and I knew that one of them was inside the house, toward the windows.
I grabbed a chair and threw it at the door. The force knocked it down, but also the gush of sudden wind brought in heat, and the flames. The men who were standing by the door, guarding it, waiting for us to come out to attack, burned alive. Their eyes widened in surprise at the burning flames, and I looked at them. I could spare them, but I wasn’t going to be dumb, even touching them was going to be fatal right now.
