Chapter 25

Leon ( part 2)

I open the door very slowly and find Pedro pointing the gun at her. Seeing her there being threatened made my blood boil and even more want to kill him in more ways than one.

Another thing that caught my attention was seeing that my queen was injured, and the urge to go in and wipe out his race was stronger. But I couldn't act on my hot head.

I try to check if there was any way to distract him and remember that the front door was locked. I think some more and soon remember that in the kitchen there must be some glass or plate, and go back downstairs. I had to bring him there.

When I get to the kitchen, I look for something that makes a loud noise and start throwing everything on the floor, making a huge noise. Before long, Pedro appears, armed. When he turns on the light and sees me, he is surprised, and doesn't have time to act, because I punch him, making him stagger and fall to the floor. I kick his hand, causing the gun to go off.

- You fucking son of a bitch! - I yell, and kick him.

- Who's the son of a bitch here? - he laughs.

- You'll pay dearly! - I threaten him, and stand over him and punch him until he stops laughing and starts bleeding.

- I have to tell you something!

- I don't want to hear it!

- Oh, but I want to tell you! Do you know who took your girlfriend's virginity?

- I don't want to know! - and I punch him hard again, and even though he was dizzy, he laughed. The guy really liked to be beaten.

- I was the one who took your girlfriend's virginity, and I'll tell you one thing: she is delicious to this day! - he laughs, and I punch him so hard that I knock him unconscious.

Before I go after my queen, I manage to grab a knife and run out. I go back to my queen, and when I find her I'm shaking so badly, I think I'm going to faint. When she sees me, her relief is so great that she begins to cry.

- Hey, don't cry! - I console her by giving her a kiss and pass the knife hard over the rope.

- Leon, thank God you found me! - she says, crying, and hugs me back, saying: - Are you hurt?

- I'm fine, and calm down, you're safe! Let's get out of here!

- Yes, let's! - But before we leave, she asks me, afraid: Where is Pedro?

- My queen, I don't want you to worry about anything else.

- Leon, he can come after us!

- He'll be unconscious for a few hours," I warn her, and feel her body relax.

I take her away from there, and as we are walking I see a cab pass by and call it, giving it the address of the hospital.

- I don't want to go to the hospital!

- I am sorry, my queen, but we have to go, to see these injuries, and I will also call your sister and see if she is still there.

- Do you know what I missed the most?

- Missing what?

- Being called your queen.

- But you are and always will be my queen! - I warn her, and she hugs me tight. Then I remember what that lunatic said about having raped her again and I ask, awkwardly: - Did he hurt you anywhere else?

Her body tenses and withdraws, and I hold her in my arms, afraid she would run away.

- So he told you? - she asks, embarrassed.

- Yes, and you don't have to be embarrassed, when we get to the hospital I want you to take a test.

- What examination? - she gets out of my arms, realizes what I mean, and then laughs: "You think I was raped?

- Weren't you? - and that's when relief floods over me.

- Thank God, no! It would be very unlucky for me to have been raped twice, wouldn't it? - she laughs, but then she starts to cry, and I cry along with her.

- I'm going to kill that guy!

- No!

- He deserves to die for lying to me that he raped you twice. I feel like going back there and killing him! Why don't you want me to kill him?

- He'll get what he deserves, and I know he's been beaten, a lot!

- And why do you think that?

- Because your hands are hurt, and I don't want you to go to jail for killing that vermin either.

We arrive at the hospital, I pay for the ride and take her straight into the building. As soon as we get to the floor, I call Vane to let her know that I found her and then to the police. I hang up as soon as I hear Vanessa's voice call out my queen's name, and seeing the two of them hugging each other was the best thing that ever happened.

They part, and Vane looks at me and says:

- You kept your promise!

- I always keep my promises," I joke, and Vane pats me and lets me go. I pull Duda into my arms and say, "And now I need your kisses again, my beautiful queen.

- I also need your kisses again," she says, and, with an audience and everything, I attack her mouth with fury, showing everyone to whom this woman belonged: only to me.
