Parasite: To Kill A Supreme God Of War

Chapter 8

“Oh, I don’t think—”

“I mean if you have the time.” Adele tilted her head, smiling unwavering. “I’m free this afternoon.”

Penny hesitated. Something about the woman’s eyes made her heart race.

“Please?” Adele added, her voice honeyed, patient… but with an undertone Penny couldn’t quite name. "A little something for knocking my out? Don't say no..."

Penny sighed deeply as if sure this was a wrong idea. “Alright,” she said finally.

Adele’s smile widened, slow and triumphant. “Wonderful.”

Eve froze the moment she stepped into her study. A man sat there, legs crossed casually on her desk like he owned the place. For a second, her brain refused to believe what her eyes saw..

Then she smirked, “I knew you were alive,” Great. Today seems to be her lucky day.

Krazy had a stern look as he raised his head to study her expression, "I didn't come for you.. Where is your husband? He's the first on my list.”

Anyone will be in a good mood when they don't have to go through the trouble of luring their prey. “Give me a second,” She turned to the door but suddenly, it was locked.

“You and I are stuck here, so for your own good, start spilling. Where is the man who tortured me and had my mother killed?”

Eve smirked, stepping forward, “Missing your daddy already? Oh, it's natural for anyone with an absent father to crave fatherly love.. but..”

“Shut up!” Krazy barked, shutting her off in that instant. “If I ask you again you'll be sorry! Where is Lucas?”

Eve chuckled, crossed her legs over the same table as Krazy as if she was in control. Without a second thought, she tapped on the red button on her desk then footsteps were heard and suddenly, the door swung open.

Seeing this, Krazy was certain that was an emergency button.

About 25 men filled the place, causing Eve to lean to her sit with a smug face, “Take him to the dungeon. Beat him to death if you must. Find out what he already knows and finish him off,” She ordered.

Then about four men stepped forward. One of them grabbed Eve's hands and was about to place them behind her when she shouted, “Are you nuts? I said torture this bastard…” She wasn't given the chance to complete her statement when a tape was wrapped around her mouth.

Hee eyes widened in disbelief when she raised her head to see the smug look on Krazy's face, “Hmmm! Hmmm!” She struggled as they pinned her down while the rest pointed their guns at her.

“Who's in control now?” Craig laughed so hard, Eve gritted her teeth with pain.

She couldn't take her eyes off him as she tried think of the possible way this loser had tricked her bodyguards into following his orders instead of hers.

“Hmmm!” She tried to free herself but the rope tied to her wrist was too tight.

After tying her legs together, the fat man retrieved her phone from her pocket and hands it over to Krazy.

Meanwhile, Lucas West, who was in a business meeting heard his phone beep.

The moment he saw a picture of his wife tied like an animal, his heart sank.

Before he could comprehend what was going on, his phone started ringing.

“This meeting is over,” He said, and exited the room immediately before picking the call.

“Hello, Lucas. Long time no father and son talk.”

Hearing Craig's voice on his wife's phone gave him a full understanding of what was going on.

“Craig?”

“Guess the devil was bored so he sent me back for you.”

“You always did have your mother’s flair for drama. Shame she didn’t live long enough to see what a disappointment you turned out to be. If you hurt my wife, you bet I'll kill you myself,” Lucas barked.

Craig remained calm, “I believe you have something I want, and I have something you want.” He said, grabbing his gun and positioning it in front of Eve.

“Lucas!”

Hearing Eve's voice in the background, only made Lucas even more anxious and restless. Without hesitating, he softened his tone, “Son.. wait.. please don't do anything you'll regret. She's your step mom."

“I only have one mother whom you killed years ago. You've once lost a mistress. Don't blame me if you lose your wife today.”

Lucas' heart sank, "Wait. Perhaps we can work something out."

"I am giving you the opportunity to work something out. Bring yourself to me, and she might just live.”

“Let's talk about this, son. Don't act rational.” Lucas pleaded. He couldn't possibly show his face in South River. His enemies want him dead. Going to South River is like asking to be killed in seconds!

Right now he's caught in the middle of saving his wife or saving his life.

"No. The time for talking passed, Lucas. Here's what we are going to do. I'm going to shoot your wife through the right rib cage. Just grazing the lower quadrant of her right lung. It will slowly collapse, making it difficult for her to breathe. And if she doesn't get medical attention in less than an hour she'll be dead.” Craig's gaze was fixed on Eve and his index finger on the trigger.

“Son, Craig. Please!”

Shoot!

“Ahhh!” Eve screamed so painfully, that her blood gushed profusely.

“Evelyn!!!” Lucas shouted on the other end as a tear fell from his left eye. His ears felt numb at the gunshot and his body trembled with fear. He saw his life flashing across his face. What kind of a monster has Krazy become?

His heart raced so fast, it felt his body vibrating like he was going to pass out soon.

"Second hand spinning, Lucas. Looks like you have a little decision to make.” With that, Krazy dropped the call.
