Damian's rose novel Chapter 28

Authors pov

Damian came home and directly head towards the bathroom as he needed a shower. Not for cleaning the dirt and blood from his body but to calm himself down. He closed his eyes and the scene where Rose turned her back on him flashed in front of his eyes, sighing frustratingly he ran his fingers through his wet hair. Her every cold word pierced through his heart like an arrow.

He finished his shower and dressed up in a black pant and shirt. It was late night and darkness was on its peak, he picked up the whiskey bottle and started pouring himself a drink and as he was about to drink it he heard a knock on the door, it was jack, he came in and said...

"Everyone is waiting for you in the basement..."

Jack was well aware of Damian's suffering. He knew how much Damian loved Roy and now it will hurt Damian more when Alexander will torture him.

He could see the pain on Damian's face, he was hurt and Rose's behaviour was not helping him either.

Damian nodded at him and head downstairs towards the basement, he saw his trusted men were already standing there waiting and demanding for the traitor's punishment.

Alexander was standing there too, his eyes clearly showing how angry he was on Roy and Damian knew that Roy is about to face hell now.

He diverted his eyes from his father to his brother. Roy was bounded in chains which were hanged to the ceiling, he was only in his boxers and his face was covered in black cloth.

Alexander looked at Damian and said in his evil tone...

"Let's start, shall we ?..."

Damian closed his eyes and reminded himself that Roy deserved this, he is getting punished for his sins. Taking a deep breath he locked his emotions and feelings inside which he had for Roy and opened his eyes. They were cold now, he didn't wanted to feel anything and that's what he was doing now.

Damian removed the cloth from his face and roy blinked his eyes to adjust his eyes from the lights of the basement.

As soon as Roy's face came in front of Alexander, he strode towards him and threw a punch on his face making him scream in pain. His already broken jaw was now on fire due to his powerful punch.

"You fucking traitor! I gave you everything, name, status, all this royalty and you backstabbed me..."

He spat angrily on his face.

Roy licked his bloody lips and smirked...

"Fuck you..."

Alexander clenched his jaw and picked up the whip from the wall.

"This will be a good example to everyone, they all will know now how we treat traitors in our family."

Alexander said evilly and started whipping Roy.

Damian was standing there with straight face, keeping his hands in his pocket. Roy's screams was breaking his heart little by little. Afterall he was his brother whom he loved like his own son.

But he didn't stopped Alexander, as a mafia boss it was his responsibility to punish the betrayers even if it's his own family members he has to punish him. Rules are rules and they must be followed no matter what and who.

All his men were enjoying his screams. Roy's half unconscious body was hanging in the chains, his skin was torn and fully covered in blood. Alexander threw his whip on the floor frustratingly still not satisfied with his pain.

"That's enough, kill him. I don't have time to waste on this piece of shit.."

Damian ordered like the mafia boss he is, Alexander's eyes snapped towards him and he smirked. He knew that Damian was saying this because he wanted to end Roy's suffering, he was well aware of Damian's soft side for Roy.

Alexander wanted to torture him till his last breath but the father in him was not allowing him to do that, just like Damian Alexander was in pain too but punishing Roy was necessary.

Damian took the gun from his father's hands and shot Roy in his heart.

'Why did you do it Roy, you knew how much I loved you, I always tried my best to provide you everything, l always hid your mistakes so you won't face father's wrath and still you betrayed me. Why did money and power became more important to you than your own family...'

Damian sighed and threw the gun on the floor.

Damian didn't talked to anyone and head straight towards his room. He poured himself drinks and tried to forget Roy's screams which were still ringing in his ears. If someone else would have been in his place then he would have tortured him with pleasure while enjoying every moment of it. But it wasn't enjoyable when his own brother was hanging and screaming in agony in front of him.

He took of his shirt and layed down on the bed, closing his eyes he tried to sleep but today's scene was continuously flashing in his mind.

Sighing he sat on the bed and looked outside.

He was feeling lonely so he once again decided to drink alcohol but it looked like alcohol decided to betray him too. It wasn't helping a bit to calm him down.

He again threw himself on the bed and looked at the side where Rose used to sleep. He wanted to hold her and get lost in her warm embrace, she was his only piece and the feeling of loneliness and abandonment was making his heart heavy.

He released a sigh and closed his eyes.

" I need you Rose, please come to me angel..."

A soft hand caressed his hair and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"I am here Damian..."

His eyes snapped open and he looked at the source of voice. His deep blue orbs came face to face with stormy grey ones. She was lying beside him just like before, her hand was on his cheeks and her eyes were filled with care and love. Just like it used to, only for him.

He touched her face gently, confused that if she is really here or is it a dream.

"You are here, angel..."

He said in disbelief...

"Yes I am..."

His lips turned into a small smile and he clinched on her tightly.

She was lying down beside him while he was keeping his head on her chest, his muscular arms were gripping her waist tightly like she will disappear any moment now.

"Don't leave me alone please..."

He said in desperate voice. She wrapped her one hand around his bare shoulder and other slid in his hair, gently massaging his scalp to calm him down and he closed his eyes in satisfaction.
