Devil's Snare by Sruthionyx (open ebook TXT) 📗

By the time he came out of his thoughts, she disappeared, just like a lightning strike. He ran looking for her but she was nowhere to be seen. “Damn it”, he hit the tree with his behemoth-like hands. He was cursing himself for going after a woman who didn’t as much show her face. He stood there for some time hoping to see her but luck doesn’t seem to be on his side.

Rafael came home disappointed; his mind was on those eyes he had seen at the park earlier. He must find that girl, or else he will lose his mind. He had been in search of those eyes for years. Thinking about the interaction he went to bed hoping to see those ravishing eyes again.

As if God had heard his prayer, he saw those eyes again but in his dream. The dream that had been a recurring occurrence for the past 12 years.

He is standing on a balcony at the edge of a beautiful waterfall, the waterfall was so beautiful it made his chaotic heart feel peace, the kind of peace that he had never felt while he was wide awake. He was standing there waiting for someone, he doesn’t know whom he was waiting for but knows that she will arrive, and she did.

He felt someone creeping up behind him and touching his shoulder, he turned around seeing a beautiful woman standing before him, a kind that he had never seen in his life, she was like the goddess Venus, she was standing there looking at him in his eyes, all he could see was those beautiful dark brown eyes that made him want to dive in and swim in them, they are like two drops of honey glistening in the sunset.

The woman lifted her hand to touch his face, the touch of her hand made him shed tears. Her touch made his rotten heart feel alive, for she is his la sua tranquilitia.

Rafael kissed her palm. The woman instantly closed her eyes feeling the warmth in his kiss. Rafael didn’t want her to close her eyes, he wanted to see those eyes. The eyes looked at him like he is the one and he loved that feeling. He wanted to get drunk in that feeling. Rafael doesn’t know who she is. He has never seen her face except for the eyes and angel tattoo on her chest. Every time he gets closer to her, or she was about to step into the light, she gets snatched away from him.

And just like that, he wakes up. Rafael did not know the meaning of this dream or whether he was supposed to go looking for her even, but all he knew was that woman in his dream belonged to him and when he sees her again, he will make sure that she is with him and will never let her go under any circumstances.

Heaven and earth may pass away but his desire to go look for his woman and his thirst for her will never pass, little did he know he will be her destroyer and tormentor.

In a dark Alley,

A man was running fast trying to escape something or someone. But the brothers didn’t seem to be in a rush to catch him because they were enjoying the chase too much. They loved it when people feared them or begged to show mercy, they loved to kill torture, and maim, it would give them an adrenaline rush.

The man ran and ran until he stumbled upon a house, he kept knocking on the door frantically “please, open the door, someone please”. But nobody seemed to care, the door he was knocking on never opened. He kept running further, and he came to an abandoned road, while he was about to run further, he was suddenly blinded by a white light.

There were a series of lights that lit up that were from cars surrounding him. The man was beyond terrified, he began to pick up momentum to run. Just when he was about to run again, the man was caught like a deer caught in headlights. “Please…. I will leave this country and I will never return, let me go, I will never tell anyone. let me go”, he frantically began to trash in the hold of a huge man. The huge man did not let him down, instead, he heard a series of chuckles followed by a loud bang.

For second nothing was heard, there was a loud shriek piercing the silence of the abandoned road. The man was shot in the hand and a part of his hand came off. His flesh was hanging down, and the blood was gushing like tap water.

“Please…”, said the man in agony. He saw two pairs of shiny boots come close by. “I have a sister, she will be all alone, I beg you”, said the man. Victor chuckled, “was your sister not in your mind before you decided to figure out about our secret businesses?” he put pressure by standing on the man’s leg. “You shouldn’t have dug in so much, did you not know that ignorance is bliss? even when you figured out, why you have to go to the police? are you that stupid?”.

The man was stunned, “How… how did you?” Victor gave his classic smirk, “we are angels of death” the man was shuddering feeling pain and agony.

Victor continued “besides, my bro here is an excellent tracker, once he figured you were gone, we immediately knew what you did”.

The man kept crying knowing that his death is near. Victor bent down and whispered in his year “Oh and about your sister, don’t worry Rafael here will take good care of her”’, saying this Victor shot him right between his eyes.

Rafael walked over to his brother and said, “well-played brother, I love how you did not let him die in peace, but you do know I am not touching her right? The woman is too fat for my liking and totally out of my type”.
