Different Pedro

Luciano was beyond shocked as he held his bleeding arm and watched the woman he always thought was harmless. A girl he had loved and knew was calm and soft-hearted. There she was holding a knife with his blood dripping from it.

“W-when did you…how on earth are you like this?” Luciano couldn't put words together to describe the monster standing before him. She didn't waste time, but nearly stabbed him in the gut if he didn't move out of the way and ended up driving the knife in his arm instead.

“Since a monster like you showed me the true colors of this world! Now get out of my way,” Olivia growled, gritting her teeth such that Luciano took a step back. Shaking his head in disbelief, the burning sensation of the wound had him feeling like his heart was on fire.

“You were never like this…stop it now, Olivia, and open your eyes…he's turning you into a monster!” Luciano yelled, hating every bit of Pedro's existence, he managed to brainwash Olivia and turn her into the murder.

“If you want to die…then don't blame me,” Olivia said and lunged at him, Lucia moved out of the way and used his left hand to grab her hair and shoved her down. Olivia managed to get out of his hold and brushed the knife on his belly, a small cut was made which had Luciano moving away from her as he reached for his belly, blood started oozing out.

“Fine. If you want to avoid listening…then I'll handle this the hard way,” Luciano said with heavy breaths and called out to his men. Shortly after, the door flew open, and two men dressed in black came in. Olivia's eyes darted around, scanning the two men, then glanced at Luciano.

“You are mine, Olivia, I lost you once but not anymore…be a good girl and drop that knife,” Luciano said in a dark tone. Olivia frowned upon his words. She didn't belong to him and would never allow him to get close to her.

“Screw you Luciano…go to hell!” Olivia spat out disdainfully, bent down and lifted her dress just enough to remove two more knives she kept under the black lingerie she had worn inside. Luciano was surprised again. This wasn't Olivia. In the past, she couldn't even kill a fly, but now looks so sure.

“Get her and make sure she's tied down!” Luciano ordered, and the two men started advancing towards Olivia. Cracking their knuckles as if to intimidate her. Olivia's eyes turned murderous as she sized up the men.

“What's going on?” Luciano asked when a man rushed in and fell to the floor, and he was bleeding badly.

“Sir… I…they…” the man was shot several times, Luciano bent down to the man he asked to guard the area and Olivia took advantage of them being distracted when she took charge. By now, she knew how to use the knives in her hands.

“Stop it, Olivia!” He yelled, taking out his gun when Olivia stopped, her chest rising and falling angrily as she glanced up and pulled out the knives from the men's necks. They dropped and bled.

“Come with me,” he said, taking small steps towards Olivia. She shook her head in denial, she was wasting her time. Just as Luciano was about to grab her hand when someone pushed the door open, and it was Zane. Luciano was distracted; hence, Olivia used the back of her hand to smack him across the face. Zane kicked him in the gut, and he was sent flying across the room and landed heavily on the wooden table, which broke, dragging him down with it.

“Are you okay?” Zane rushed to her just as three more men came in, all armed.

“I'm okay, but where is Pedro…” Olivia was desperate, she pushed Zane out of the way and ran out of the room. She didn't even know where she was going, but finding Pedro and stopping Corina was her priority.

“Olivia, wait up!” Zane shouted after her, “make sure he doesn't escape,” Zane gave orders to his men, who nodded, and he went after Olivia.

Luckily, Luciano had brought her to a warehouse. Olivia came out, and it was dark, the place looked deserted and isolated.

“Wait… Olivia… I'll drive,” Zane came out as well and both ran to where his car was parked. “What do you mean he's at the mansion?” Zane left the mansion, but he did not see any sign of Pedro or Corina. Olivia had no time to explain as she took the wheel. Zane protested and forbade her from driving, but she insisted.

After minutes of driving like a mad woman and breaking some traffic rules. The car finally came to a halt. Olivia was the first one to stop after snatching a loaded gun from Zane.

“Damn this woman,” Zane cursed as he stormed out of the car and followed her inside. He had never seen Olivia act so crazy before. Like a horror movie. Zane found dead bodies all over the place. It seemed they had been in a bloody shootout. How did this happen?

Back inside, Olivia rushed straight to Pedro's room and once she got there. She pushed the door open with so much force that she nearly fell. Regaining her composure, she glanced up and found something frightening. Corina was trying to force Pedro into doing something, but he was pushing her away. He was completely naked, and she had tied some sort of dog collar around his neck and a leash.

“Disgusting bitch!” Olivia shouted, Corina was startled and looked up only to find Olivia.

“You!” Corina exclaimed in awe when she saw Olivia standing at the door.

“How dare you,” Olivia growled, pointing the gun at Corina. She was not a human being, whatever she was doing to him. He didn't seem to be controlling himself

“Get out you bitch…how dare you interfere,” Corina spat out bitterly and loosened the ropes.

“Pedro!” Olivia yelled and prepared to run to him when Corina took out a cable tie. Pedro dropped to the floor, hitting himself hard. He was mumbling something, shaking his head and screaming at the same time as if he had a severe headache.

“Stop right there,” Corina stopped her as she dragged some sheets from the bed and wrapped them around herself. Olivia was devastated, seeing Pedro tossing and trembling on the floor.

“What did you do to him”

“I warned you, Olivia… I told you to leave us alone…but you…you are so naive and now…he's going to pay,” Corina said and raised the cable ties in midair and was about to slam it on Pedro's back when Olivia pulled the trigger. It happened so fast and unexpectedly that Corina gasped in horror as the silver bullet knocked her hand away and embedded in her flesh. The deafening sound of the bullet piercing through Corina's flesh startled Olivia, who gripped the gun with cold hands.

“Ahh” she cried out in the most excruciating pain she had ever felt, “you!” The pain was too much, and I saw blood dripping from her hand. Corina felt dizzy.

“You called for this bitch,” in one stride, Olivia reached where Corina was and used the back of the gun to knock her away. The impact was blinding that Corina stumbled backwards and landed heavily on the floor holding her bleeding face.

“Pedro,” Olivia tossed the gun away and rushed to Pedro “Sweetie, calm down… I'm here,” she dropped to her knees and tried to reach for him when he shoved her away. Olivia fell on her butt, surprised when she pushed her hair off her face and looked up. Pedro was not himself, his eyes were red as if he had been smoking or injected with some drugs which made him see hallucinations. Olivia crawled back to her feet when the man grabbed her by the throat, tightening his grip that Olivia choked as he lifted her off the floor.

“S-stop it… p-Pedro… stop it now,” the words choked out of her trembling mouth as she tried to pry his hand away. But he gripped her delicate neck even tighter that tears dripped from her eyes. Pedro was looking monstrous.

“Kill her Pedro…she's the monster…kill her," came Corina's voice, Olivia shook her head fighting and gasping for air. This wasn't Pedro.
