《Timeless Love》Chapter 38
Advertisement
I was woken up by a burning sensation in my leg. I shot up in a sitting position with a yell. I looked around and seen that I was in a bedroom. I tried to get up but felt a sharp pain that was coming from my leg, under the blanket. I pulled the blanket off of me and examined my leg. It was wrapped up in a bandage. I was going to touched it but I started crying instead.
"I wouldn't touch that if I were you." I jumped when I heard a man say. I looked up and seen this man who had salt and pepper hair. He had a small beard and dark eyes. He reminded me of someone but I just couldn't think who, for some reason.
He started walking towards me. But I tried to move back but it only made my leg hurt more.
"Calm down. I'm not going to hurt you." He said with his hands up in the air.
"Who are you?" I asked in a whisper tone.
"Let me change your bandages and I'll explain everything. But I promise you, I'm not here to hurt you." I looked at him for a second and nodded my head slowly.
He smiled softly at me before he walked over to the other side of the bed to the dresser and got a black bag. He seen me eyeing the bag.
"Calm down, it's just a medical bag." He said and sat down next to me. "I'm going to clean your wound and re-bandage it. It will hurt for a minute."
I sunk in my breath when he started pulling the tape off my skin that held the gauze down. Once it was removed, I looked and seen he had stitched me up. He cleaned it and placed new gauze on it and taped it back up.
He handed me two pills and a glass of water. I looked at the pills and when I looked at him, he had a pills bottle in his hand.
"I had a feeling you probably thought I was going to drug you so here is the bottle of meds I just gave you. Their painkillers. They will help with your pain." I looked at the pills and then at the bottle before I took them.
"Where am I?" I asked when I finished taking the pills.
"Your at my house." He said and I looked at him. "You have been knocked out for 2 days." I gasped.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Toni..... ." He said and my eyes went wide.
"I guess you know who I am?" I nodded my head. "Bu-But Leo said you were dead." I stuttered.
He took a deep breath and I seen so much sadness and pain in his eyes. "Do you know who kidnapped you?" He asked and I shook my head until I remember Sofia.
My eyes widen and I started looking around frantically when I felt arms grab me. "Calm down, she is dead."
"What? Why would you kill her?" I said. Then I remembered what happened and how she was in love with Daunte. How can someone be in love with their cousin? "She was about to kill you and I'm sure my son would of been heartbroken if the woman he loves would of been killed. I had to do what I had to do." He said it like it was the thing to do. I looked at him like he had two heads.

After a few minutes of silence, he looked at me and gave me a sad smile. "Years ago, me and my wife was in a accident. My wife didn't make it but I did. I didn't want to leave her alone. I didn't want to let her burn in that car. But I was taken from inside the car and into a warehouse where I was tortured for months. They burned, stabbed, electrocuted and drowned me. I tried to escape a few time but when I finally found a way to escape, I planned to get revenge for my wife's death. So for years I searched and searched for the people who were involved. To find out that it was an enemy of mine, a rival gang leader that I killed just before my wife died. I planned for years and found out his lover wanted revenge for his death and planted a bomb on our car that kill my wife."
"I'm so sorry." I told him. He shook his head.
"My wife was an amazing woman. She was beautiful and caring. She was also fiesty but rare. She was everything a man would of wanted. Kept me on my toes and put me in my place when I stepped out." He laughed to himself. The way he was talking about his wife, told me how much he loved her. How much he admired her.
"While I planned my revenge, I watched over my boys. I watched them grow and I watched them become men. I was selfish to leave them but I needed to kill those who killed my wife. She was the love of my life and I was nothing without her." He smiled again. "Anyways, later on, I found the woman. The woman who killed my wife. Her name is Maria Hall. Who happens to be My brothers new wife." I gasped.
"Your saying Maria? As in Matteos wife and Leo's stepmom?" He nods his head. "She killed your wife and tortured you?" I asked and he just nodded again.
"But Maria had a sister who had a son with another gang leader. ." I gasped. "I knew you would know who that was. Since your father is the one who messed up his face and left him with only one eye." I shook my head. What did he mean, messed his face up. My dad killed him and his partner. I started breathing irregular.
"No my dad killed him." I said with tears in my eyes. "He is dead!" I yelled and he shook his head. "Your father thought he was dead but he wasn't. He was hospitalized for a year but now he is dead, along with his son. The only one I kept alive that's in my basement is his right hand man."
I froze. I started getting flashbacks and crying. I took a few breaths, trying to calm myself down. After I did I looked up at him and he had so much sympathy in his eyes.
"Does he have a scar coming from his eye down to his cheek, almost to his jaw?" I asked him quietly. He looked at me with shock in his eyes. When he nodded, I lost it. I started shaking. My body started to get cold, I felt the room getting smaller and smaller. He can't be alive.
"Hey... Hey... I need you to calm down." He kept repeating it but all I felt was pain all over my body. I felt that guys hands, caressing me and I cried even harder. A while later, once I was able to get my body to calm down. I looked up at him.

"Where is he?" I asked him.
"Down in my basement." I nodded. "Take me to him." I said and he shook his head.
"You can't move from the bed or you will damage your leg even more." He said. I tried to get up but he pushed me back down.
"I need to see him!" I yelled.
"Why? Why do you need to see him?" He asked. I looked away from him.
"I can't say." I told him while I was still trying to get up. But he kept pushing me down.
"I'm not letting you see him until I know why?!" He said. Raising his voice a little. Who did he think I am?
"Don't raise your voice at me." I told him. Then I looked him straight in the face and took a deep breath. "H-he, I need to see him, please!" I begged. He looked at me and studied my face for a second before he looked at me with the most saddest eyes.
"He raped you, didn't he?" He whispered. I felt my chest tightening when he said that. I have barely started admitting it myself. "I need to see him, please?" I begged again.
"How old?" He asked and I froze and just looked at him. "You were just a child, weren't you?" He said and I just cried hard before I nodded my head and whispered "5."
He stood up quickly and looked at me. "5?" He asked. I nodded my head and he got angry.
He took a deep breath. "How about you sleep and then when you wake up tonight, I'll take you down there." He said and I shook my head. I needed to see him now.
"I need-" he cuts me off. "You need to rest and I promise I'll take you down there after."
I thought for a second and nod my head.
"Great, then you can tell me how you and my son met on our way home." I looked at him and smiled with the mention of Daunte.
"Home?" I said and he nods, "Home" he said before he walked out the room, shutting the door behind him.
I laid down thinking about everything. I miss Daunte so much. I cant believe they are tricking him into thinking that's his baby. I shouldn't have left him there. I shouldnt have walked out. I should of let him explained.
I fell asleep promising myself that when I get home, Im going to let him explain. Im going to tell him the truth. Im going to tell him I love him. I closed my eyes and imagined me in his arms and sleep aint never felt any better.
A Few Hours Later
I sat in this bed waiting for Toni to come inside and get me. I still can't believe his dad is alive. I'm scared he is going to have a heart attack when he sees him but I only hope he will hear his father out.
I can't wait to go home. I'm so excited to see him and feel his arms wrapped around me. To feel his lips on mine and his warm body pressed against mine.
I started having nasty thoughts but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Toni walks in with a tray of food. He lays it on the bed and I notice his knuckles are bruised.
"Is your hands okay?" I asked him and he just nods.
"Eat and I'll take you to the basement." I looked at the plate and see it was chicken alfredo with broccoli. He also brung me a glass of ice water. It's looked amazing and I didn't know how hungry I was until my stomach growled.
I hurried and ate the amazing food. He sure knew how to cook. When I was done, I was so full.I felt like my belly was going to burst. I finished my water and placed everything back on the tray.
"That was amazing. Thank you." I said to him with a smile on my face. He picked up the tray and sat it on the dresser. He then turned his body so he was facing me and he had a serious look on his face.
"Let's talk before we head down there." He said as he walked towards the end of my bed and sat down looking at me. "When we go down there, you are going to need to stay next to me at all times. Even though he is chained up, doesn't mean he can't reach you when you step in the cell." I listened to him carefully. I'm not going to lie, I'm scared. I feel my body shiver as I realize I'm about to see the man who raped and touched me when I was a child. The man who haunted my dreams at night for the past almost 20 years. The man that made me suffer and made me never to trust another man. No man until Daunte.
"He look physically bad with all the brusies and cuts I applied to his skin from getting information. I don't know if you wanted revenge or you just wanted to see him and talk but I have no more use of him, so if you want to kill him, that's fine with me, if not, then I'll kill him myself." He said with a shrug to me like it wasn't a big deal.
I knew he deserved to be hurt for what he did to me and I'm glad he is. I want to kill him myself. I feel that's the only way these nightmares will stop. By killing the man who planted them in my mind. But I'm also not a killer. Yes I fight and get into brawls when needed, but I have never physically killed someone. They say that your first kill is the worse but I wonder if it will be the best since I'll be getting rid of the most disgusting person on this earth. Knowing what he is capable of doing if he stayed alive scared me.
If he can do something like that to me, I wonder how many other little girls he have hurt. Me thinking of that, made my blood boil and I knew exactly what I needed to do. I needed him gone.
"Alright. Let's go." I said as he started to pick me up.
I'm about to get rid of my demon.
