The Last Embrace 315 Desolation

Leo's world plummeted into utter desolation, sadness, madness and feeling the pain of betrayal every day. The feeling of loneliness suffocated him, he can not bear to see his adoptive father and Violet looking happy every day while he was suffering unbearable pain. There was something sinister inside him that was wanting to get out of his system. It's the feeling of wanting to appease his anger, to bring punishment to the people who inflicted so much pain on him. He wants to end the torture that he was feeling inside, he wants to be free from the horror of everything that he's been through, he can no longer take it anymore! He wanted to wipe the smile on their pretty faces...he wanted to see them suffer and pay a hundred times of what they had done to him.

He wants to kill them slowly...painfully and savagely...until all his anger can finally be sated and that's the only thing that can free him from the pain and agony that he was suffering all this time.

He can no longer see an ounce of good in everything...

Everything is bad...everybody is cruel to him...no one loves him...this world had turned it's back on him!

One day before he finally loses control.

Jackson was gone for a visit to the city.

Violet was left alone in the house.

Leo saw the only woman he loves attending to her flower garden looking so beautiful as always, he approached her from behind hoping to have a serious talk with her.

"Violet, my love....can we talk for a moment please..." he begged.

Violet didn't even throw him a glance. "Speak...make it short...I don't have free time listening to your ramblings...can't you see that I'm busy here?" she answered bluntly looking every inch the lady of the manor. She cultivated this air of arrogance around her while being with Jackson for such a short time.

Leo was hurt by her attitude of indifference, she was no longer the sweet innocent girl that he used to fall in love with.

"Come with me, Violet, we will flee this house, we will go to the faraway land that Jackson can't find us. I'm willing to forget everything that you had done with Jackson. Let's start all over again, just you and I. Please come with me!" Leo begged. It was a desperate plea from someone who was about to snap...

"No. I won't go anywhere with you, Leo! Forget me and forget everything about us! I'm happy and contented with Jackson, he gives me everything I needed and he is a man of culture, he knew everything while you know nothing, you don't even have a penny on your pocket, you are always dependent on him! If I marry Jackson I will be the queen of this manor! Everything he owned will also become mine. You don't hold a candle to him! I have a bright future with him and I'm not gonna waste it by going back to a loser like you!" she simply said.

Leo's heart was bleeding again. This time the insult he received from the only woman he loved pained him so deeply. He never expected that the woman he loved so much think so little of him and only viewed him as a speck of dirt on Jackson's shoes.

Violet's personality has changed dramatically in just a short time...she was no longer the innocent naive girl he falls in love with, today he finally loses the woman he loves.

But his heart doesn't want to give up..."Please, I beg you one last time Violet, come with me. I love you so much....we can still be happy together!" he pleaded again in desperation just for the sake of their young sweet love.

Violet looked at him wryly. "I'm sorry, Leo," she gently placed her hand on her abdomen. "I'm already one month old pregnant with Jackson's baby. We will get married in three months..." she revealed the final nail to the coffin.

"Nooooooooo!" Leo was stunned in shock. This can't be! He felt a sharp knife stabbing his heart repeatedly, his heart was hemorrhaging and all he can see was his heart dying before his very eyes. He saw red...black...red...black dots alternating in his vision.

He runs towards the house fleeing away from the woman he loves, he nearly stumbles on the first steps of the stairs due to the tears drowning his vision. He finally made it to the top of the stairs and dashed towards his room slamming the door behind him...he jumped into his bed while the uncontrollable rage was boiling inside his mind and heart. He was crying his heart out in the next few hours...he poured all his emotions...all his hatred and anger into his tears. He punched his bed and the wall a few times, he only stops when the pain was no longer bearable as his knuckles turn bloody red.

After a while...his tears subsided but his hatred towards Jackson and Violet intensifies.

From the drawer of the cabinet, he grabbed the gold necklace which belongs to his mother, he put the jewelry inside the pocket of his pants.

He wiped his face dry with the blanket and left the room. He went to the kitchen and sharpen the knife and wrapped it in a towel and set it aside. He will need it later when Jackson returns. For now, he needs to take care of Violet first...

He went back to her flower garden, she was no longer there.

He saw her up in the terrace...drinking her afternoon tea.

A smirk curled up in his lips, his eyes darken. He went back inside the house and proceed towards the terrace.

"Violet, I wanna show you something...I saw this beautiful jewelry inside a wooden box below the bed in the basement..." he placed the jewelry in the table.

Violet's eyes sparkled while admiring the jewelry, she picked it up and placed it in her palm and perused it. "It's a beautiful piece of jewelry..."

Leo smiled. "There's more jewelry hidden below the bed in the basement, I discovered it while cleaning the basement the other day," he said.

Violet stood up feeling excited. "I will go there alone...don't follow me! Stay here!" she looked at him with disdain.

"Okay, just call my name if you need my help," he said, his eyes gleaming with a dark intention and anticipation.

Violet sauntered towards the stairs going down towards the basement. Leo was staring at her retreating back with a devilish smile plastered on his lips.

Time for his revenge!

Time for a reckoning!

He followed Violet into the basement, smirking.

Inside the basement, he saw her peeking below the bed in the basement, trying to reach the wooden box located at the far end of the bed, while she was busy...she did not notice Leo creeping up behind her back.

It's too late for her to do anything...

Without mercy Leo holds Violets head firmly and bang it on the floor...she yelp in pain...and scream all her might shouting for help but no one can hear her voice because Leo closed the door... she tried to fight her attacker but her strength isn't a match with Leo who was already going berserk during those moments...he has no mercy now...he repeatedly bangs her head into the cement floor.

Her bloody face suddenly goes limp and she lost consciousness.

He scooped her limp body and placed it carefully in the bed, she was still breathing though, she was still alive. Good! He doesn't want her to die too soon...for all the pain she put him through she deserves to die slowly for atonement on hurting him so bad.

He took one last look at her bloody face and smirk, then he wrapped the blanket on her unrecognizable face. He took the rope from the cabinet nearby and bound Violet's body into the bed and then he placed duct tape on her mouth to silence her just in case she will wake up later.

Next...

He will wait for Jackson to come home tonight to finish him off.

Tonight he will taste freedom...he will deliver himself from pain.
