A Forced Contract Marriage with the Devil novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207

“Our men? OUR MEN?! he laughed, “My men! When I said I hand–picked every single one of these three–hundred and thirty men, I meant I picked the men who were loyal to me not you. The rest of the Salvatore men were loyal to you, there were of no use to me, so I left them behind in Sicily.”

I glared at him, “You-”

“All it took were a few misogynistic assholes who couldn’t bear to answer to a gay and deemed you highly unfit to rule. That’s all it took to turn them all against you, I persuaded them into believing that you were the enemy, and trust me that was the easiest shit I have ever done after you spread your ass again for De Luca.”

He walked closer to me, I glanced at his injured foot, the one that I had shot. And as he was about to say something again, I slammed my shoe into his wound, making him bend over and hiss in pain.

I took the chance and got up. I grabbed his wrist with my left hand and held his gun hand against his chest, the gun caught under the jacket and I hit him twice more with my right hand, square in the nose. He staggered and I shoved him away.

I swung back around and roundhouse kicked him in the stomach real hard. He stammered out a curse, his injured foot was now laced with blood as it spurted out of his shoe.

“You fucking bitch!”

He kicked me in the shin, making me lose my footing.

I felt my feet fly out from under me and my back slammed into the ground, but before I could get up, he was over me, he placed his knee between my chest and pushed it down hard.

He raised his fist and I raised my arms up in time to block his punch. Our faces were coated in the red liquid that was dripping onto our chests, staining our once–clean clothes.

“I’m the one who taught you how to fight, Nikolai. You can never outshine the master.”

Though my vision was blurred from sweat and blood, I was raging mad and wanted to rip his head off.

I grabbed the gun that was now resting just beside my face and, I slammed it against his cheek, breaking the skin and probably his cheekbone.

He let out a string of profanities before he used his leverage of being over me and gripped my head. He repeatedly slammed and banged the back of my head into the ground. I wrapped my hands around his neck, digging my fingernails into his flesh.

I tried to stop him, I tried to fight back but when my head collided with the tiled floor with such force that a painful vibration reverberated throughout my skull making me disorientated, I felt my strength leaving my body.

His fist crashed against my cheekbone, knocking my face to the floor with a loud cracking noise.

“You and I, we would have been good together but you chose him. And now…” I saw him loading his gun as he pointed the barrel over my forehead. Say goodbye to your husband, Nikolai…”

I closed my eyes, accepting my fate. I was done with this life anyway.

I took a long breath as a tear slid down my cheek dropping to the ground. The barrel of the gun dug into my forehead harshly. His knee between my chest was making it difficult to breathe.

My hair was all wet, and the back of my head was bleeding profusely. I took a deep breath but it hurt my ribcage. I exhaled, and inhaled again, realizing I was scared. My head swam; Vtried to return to reality. My stomach tightened, but I couldn’t just give up, not like this.

I gasped, my throat burned in agony, blood licking out from my mouth. He had banged my head against the floor so many times that it was

getting difficult to comprehend what was going on around me.

I still tried to fight back, my hand raised sluggishly, slick with blood as I tried to grab him. He slapped my hand away, laughing at my pain..

‘I don’t want to kill you, Nikolai. I did care about you for a short amount of time in between. But you need to understand that it was not your place. I was ten, ten years old when Paul Salvatore took me in. He raised me like a son and I swore that I will never betray the Salvatores. It was my mission to kill Alessandro but when he got to know that you’re his weaknesses, he flipped. Just because Leah told me to train didn’t mean that I liked you, I worked for it day and night, I deserved it, and you showed up one day and took everything from me. You just a stupid gay who decided to betray the Salvatores at the end, he laughed but it was filled with pain. Luckily I have been ordered to finish you“, He added.

I weakly pushed him away but it did nothing to him.

‘Get a–away from m–me…”

“You know what the worse part is? My own brother respects and loves you more than he does me. He is the only one here who thinks that you are the one leading this attack. He is so fucking loyal to you, it’s fucking aggravating!”

I coughed. “I… I trusted you too, Marco.
