Lauren

"Argh!" I moan, digging my fingers on his skin as he thrust harder. I rolled my head to and fro.

My legs wrapped on his waist as we moved erotically on the bed.

It's like never before, to feel his undying affection and bask in his love.

"Love" he whispers in a shriek cry, kissing me all over the face and I turned red, blushing. Karl pulls out and rolled over.

I wheeze out soft air, naked and being hit by the cold air from the conditioner in the room.

Shyly, I throw my leg over his hip and scurry closer to him, burying my head on his chest.

We were just done having a banging sex and I can't wait until when we no longer have to hide to have the pleasure we want.

"So what's the plan of killing him?" I asked intrigued and biting my cheeks. His callous palms squeezes my butt as I chuckled.

"Well, we set an ambush for him" he whispers distracting me. It's like he had everything planned already.

I tilt my head to meet his hot gaze while my breath came in short.

"How? Kyle isn't easy to get rid of"

Calling his name too sends terror flushing inside me.

"Relax love, I've got everything handled"

He lean his face forward, to kiss me but we stopped when a gunshot rings in the air.

I widened my eyes at him as he looked startled too.

"He's here?" I announced with uncertainty, hastily jumping down from the bed to get something on.

The small hair on my body stood at it's end as my chest grows tighter to I can't breath.

"What the fuck? He has a game today!" Karl muses, unbothered but I threw his clothes at his face, urging him to get dressed and hide.

My hands reached for a gown from my closet. Why is he back home so early?

Shit! I didn't call him. He always makes me speak with him before he starts any game.

But that won't bring him back? Does he know about my affair with Karl?

"I'm not hiding Lauren, he's bound to figure out someday!"

He grabbed his pant and slowly wore it while sitting upright on the bed. I became hypersensitive, and my heart hook in my throat.

I stomp closer to him, to knock some senses inside him as chills runs down my spine.

"What? Can you hear yourself? Kyle is going to kill you if he finds out about us and I'm..."

"Relax love, I'd protect you, that bastard is bound to die anyway"

He placed his palms on my cheeks and my heart betrayed me as it hammers fast.

I'm trying to believe him but I can't, not when Kyle is involved.

The door blast open interrupting us and we both shoved our gaze to the door.

It was Kyle, stained with blood and holding the arm of someone. Karl jumps down from the bed as he quickly toss me to his back.

It seems like a scream of betrayal formed in Kyle's throat but came out as a stunned whisper.

Our eyes locked and a flash of guilt eats me up.

I shouldn't regret this, it's Karl I want.

Kyle stood glued to door, his eyes expressing disbelief. He isn't saying anything.

"Princess?" He finally calls in a low tone, quite disappointed. My muscles stiffens as I grew unnaturally still.

But I hide myself properly behind Karl who acted like a shield, although my eyes takes note of his reaction.

He strides inside the room and scoffed.

"It's not what it is, is it?"

I peeped over Karl's shoulder and realized he was staring at my trampled bedspread.

He dumps the hand on the floor, took a step forward and I was melting away with those blazing eyes of his.

Karl wasn't saying anything as he was anger too, and before I could swallow, a fight erupt between them.

Kyle lunged at his brother, his fists swings hard as punches connects with Karl's jaw.

"How dare you fuck my wife!" Kyle roars rolling all over Karl who pushes him away.

"You don't deserve her, bastard!" Karl fires punching Kyle hard on the face.

I yelped, trying to intervene but Kyle shoved me back and I tripped to the bed. Blows rained down on each of them.

Karl tried to fight back but Kyle's rage fueled him.

I shudder, pulling myself from the bed as I heard a crashing sound from the lamp that hit the floor.

Karl stumbled back against a wall and Kyle pinned him there, fist cocked.

"How dare you?" Words were torn from him like shards.

Karl spat blood, his eyes grew wild as they glared at each other, I needed to do something.

"You can burn the world for her Kyle but she'd always chose me" karl proudly declares snickering at him.

Kyle almost landed a punch on him but I sneak in between them and he suspends his hand mid-air just so it doesn't land in my face.

"Stop please, I love him" I confessed as tears stream down my eyes.

I could feel his heat, his hate as his anger gathers like tears in his eyes. It's the first time I've seen him look this broke.

His eyes caught between the two of us and he surprisingly burst into a giddy laughter.

His breath heaves as he runs his palms on his face and then gasped.

He's mad and whenever he is, someone will die. Kyle releases his grip from Karl and then nods his head.

"You planned this Karl with Robert to get me here and miss the games?" He brawled taking out his gun from his pant as he points at us both.

I spread my arms, trying to protect Karl and quaking with fear.

"You don't deserve anything good in your life Kyle, not my parents either" Karl retorts, trying to push me aside but I didn't want to leave.

"Kyle, just leave us alone please, you don't even want me, you just want to gain revenge against my father, haven't you done enough!" I wailed, tired of him.

Kyle chuckled like the devil and then shot at Karl's leg. I forgot I had lungs as I rolled my eyes to face Karl who whimpers and covered his bleeding leg with his palms.

"Come to me princess and I might forgive your sins!" Kyle declares, his eyes darkens at me and he pants heavily.

Kyle cocks his gun again, aiming for Karl's heart this time. Not even a word could form on my lips as everything was happening fast.

Karl growl in pain and I went on my knees before Kyle, steepling my fingers together, like I was saying a prayer.

"I'm pregnant with his child!" I yelled, crying and begging for mercy.

Kyle widened his eyes at me as they soften. His hands shook and he gnarl at us both.

He lowered the gun to my womb and I circled it with my arms, shaking my head.

Not my baby.

Karl gasped from behind me as I haven't told him yet. I intended to make it a surprise when we elope.

It's ironic that Kyle and I haven't kissed or had sex ever since he stole me away from my family.

"Please, for the sake of our unborn child, spare him" i added, perturbed as karl and i were about to face judgement.

"Fuck!" Kyle screeches and shot Karl by the shoulder this time. My words only triggers him to shot the more.

Karl viberates as he groans for air.

My declaration set Kyle on fire as I scream in fear. Scurrying closer to karl, I tried to curb his bleeding.

He gaggled, unable to hold back the pain as I quickly applied pressure on his shoulder crying.

"You used me Karl, why don't you fucking tell her the truth, you sly!" Kyle roared kicking his feet in the air as he expresses his anguish.

I had no idea what he meant but saving Karl was all that registered in my mind.

Fear enveloped me and I want to protect my child. Karl's eyes were barely awake as he was losing blood.

"Please stay with me Karl" I whispered in tears, wanting him to stay awake but he only placed his palm on my stomach with tears in his eyes.

"We must protect our child"

I locked my fingers with him and then pinned my forehead with his.

With every strength I had, I stood up to face Kyle. Anger rushed in the moment the shock fades.

Kyle had his back facing us now, like he's contemplating.

His eyes were below the balcony as he was cussing, restless and scratching the back of his neck with the muzzle of his gun.

"Now you fucking plant a child in her, you manipulator..."

"I should have known, it's you"

While, he grumbles in anger and contemplates, I muster up courage, and in a rush, my hands forcely pushed him down the balcony.

My heart stopped and a chill froze me to a spot.

His loud grunt slice through the air and when I nervously bent to have a look, I found Kyle holding on to the rail of the balcony, his legs swinging in the air.

His eyes had fear in them as he struggles to pull himself up and if I assist, he'd make it up here alive.

"Princess, don't let me fall" he yelps, looking down below him as though measuring the height.

I fell in a limp position, suffocating and reminding myself that I'm not a murderer but he doesn't deserve to live.

Yet, I anxiously stretched my hand to grab him but Karl appears unexpectedly, used a foot and kicked Kyle down.

A loud bang engulfed the place and time paused. A sickening wave wells up in my stomach.

My hands flew to my mouth, suppressing a silent scream as adrenaline pumps inside me.

Karl looked at me and slide gently to the floor, drawing himself closer to where I sat, while burying the pain coursing through his body.

"A monster doesn't deserve to live, love"
