CHAPTER 47: HE WOULD BE PUNISHED

Olivia’s POV...

"Scared." I smiled when I heard another noise coming from outside, a growl coming from a wolf, and a scream from another, his guards are shouting for help and all Conrad could do was stare at me.

I guess I was right when I said he would come for me, he always will, no matter how much we fight, because my heart knows he is nothing like Conrad, and my wolf feels like we are always meant to be connected, either way, we are better off with each other.

"Where are you doing?." I asked, he stared at me for a second without sparing me a glance before he headed to the other side of the room, to my surprise there was a window.

It was covered, they made it look like there was not one until he moved the large brick that stood behind it and sunlight glimmered through the room, my eyes filled with tears as a form of happiness.

I just need to get the hell out of here, the keys are with comes, even if I tried he would not give them to me, I needed him to come close, even if I am hurt, I wanted to try.

"You fucking stay where you are and don’t even think of trying anything." He yelled and I nodded.

"Are you worried you will die and Victor would not be here to save you, he never really liked you, you were a pawn in his game." I breathed out and he glared at me.

He has always been a coward because all he did was pull out his phone and send a message; he ignored their growls, he ignored their screams and he didn’t even bother to even try to help them.

All he did was stand by the other side and stare at me.

"You are my key to leaving this place alive."

"You think Luca would let you leave with me?" I asked and he smiled.

"You have no idea what I have in store for you," Conrad mumbled and I didn’t dare look at him, whatever he had in mind, I didn’t want to be any part of it, and if Luca was here to help me.

I will fight with all the strength I have but I will not leave with Conrad, he will not take me away this time.

He inched toward me and his frown deepened.

"Is he going to watch you die or will he actually let me go, I have a feeling he will let me go and he will have one of his men follow me to find me."

"How are you so sure you will not be found?" I asked.

"Victor will- where is he?" I whispered cutting him off, I watched as a frown appeared on his face, in an instant he pulled a knife toward me and he pushed it against my neck.

"Not a single word." Conrad breathed out.

Was I scared that I had a knife to my throat?

Yes.

Am I going to let him hurt me without a fight?

No.

Will I watch Luca let him go?

No, I will have to do anything about it, it didn’t matter how long it would take, I felt like I had to do something, maybe trap him with the chains when he is trying to leave, maybe find a way to make him fall before he does.

I can’t always be the victim.

"Victor is not going to come to your aid, hell he is not going to come to help you unless he needs you, you claim you are smart and yet you can’t even see through this, yet you don’t want to believe that he would do nothing for you, did he come to your life to tell you he is your lost long cousin or did he come to brainwash you and ask for help," I asked when he pressed the knife further into my skin.

My breath hitches and my eyes filled with more tears, I felt my blood dripping for a second when he pulled the knife away, I don’t think he can kill me without his so-called boss telling him to do so.

I don’t think he can even make any decisions for himself, and I think Victor asked him to stay.

I heard not scream and more growls, I could feel Luca despite my pain, maybe because he is closer to me, maybe because those footsteps I could hear, those footsteps that clouded my mind and his scent felt strong, he is closer than I think.

I didn’t behave like he was near, I don’t think Conrad knew he was here, until we heard the sound of the door.

A tear fell out of my lips when Luca walked into the room, his eyes met mine for a second, and I could see the regret flashing through his eyes.

My breath hitches when Conrad places the knife even more.

"Don’t even think about it." Conrad threatened, no matter what Luca can do, Conrad’s knife is closer and it’s starting to hurt, I need to be careful because one mistake and I would be dead, I don’t want to die.

My eyes met his again and I didn’t know what to say, he should not do anything stupid, behind Luca a few other guards came in, when another person walked in, he was covered in blood.

I didn’t have to even look at him twice to know who it was, it was Ares, his eye gave him away, the way he stared at me, was filled with regret too, it’s not his fault, he did what he had to do for his Alpha, for his pack.

"Look at you, the great Alpha listening to his Beta because of a woman he fell for, you know she was mine first, all that you did together, we have done it together, we have done even more, I don’t want any trouble, all I want to do is leave." He spoke.

"Be careful what you wish for Conrad," Luca said, his eyes were on mine for a second. I think I can find a way to push Conrad away, but I can’t run, I didn’t have that much strength, all I can do is push him away

Just enough for him to fall back but it would take him just a second to stab me or make any other harmful decisions, I had hoped that Luca would be able to do something before that, I had hoped he would not end up making another mistake too.

The more he stared at me, it felt like he understood what I was trying to say.

"Now tell the guards to get inside and you tell the rest of the men to get inside and further in, and don’t do anything stupid." He spoke, he wanted to lock them, giving him enough time to run away, before they could do anything harmful. "I don’t have all day." He breathed out.

"You know Conrad, you are not as smart as I always used to think you were, you are the stupid man I always recalled, just when I thought you were better but you are still the same," I smirked before I gathered all of the strength that I had and I pushed him away

My eyes closed yet I could hear the noise, I could feel the knife on my thigh and I could hear screams, I could hear a gunshot and I could hear the growls of the wolf and when a soft hand touched my face, my eyes flickered open and a tear slipped out of my eyes.

I stared at him with a smile on my face.

My savior is here

Luca.

"He is taken care of." Luca breathed out when he carried me in his arms, the chains were taken off of me by him, by just a rough tug and I smiled at him.

I buried my face against Luca’s chest as he carried me outside.

—-

"You are fine now," Luca promised When we got to the car, he was still holding my hand, he didn’t stop at that, my eyes were on his, it’s over, all the pain, all the crying, it’s over and he didn’t get what he wanted

We may not have gotten Victor but having Conrad here is more than enough, my enmity is with my ex-husband, the man who didn’t care for me, the man who wanted to hurt me.

"You will make Conrad pay, I want to make him pay too." I breathed out., he pulled closer to me and he placed a kiss on my temples again and that is his promise, to make Conrad pay, to make him suffer what he has done.

To make him regret what he has done and I will be here to watch it, now all I wanted to do is to be with Luca.
