My Emotionless Goddess

” And who the hell do you think you are to barge here without any ounce of respect?” Daniel was beyond angry. He hated it when someone interrupted his fun moments. His eyes were spitting fireballs, literally, threatening to burn the intruder alive.

” You are very ignorant Mr Morgan,” the person said chuckling evilly,” the last person who asked me Such a stupid question is yet to be found.. and do you know why?” He paused dramatically,” because I fed him to the whales and sharks in the sea.” The voice was dangerous, dark and sinister as if it came from the depths of hell carrying with itself all the evilness.

Daniel was slightly taken aback, only few people could talk to him that way. The first one was Miranda Lambert and the other was the legendary mafia Boss and CEO of Johnston company. Of Course, he never had the chance to see the second person so how would he know if this was him. But the Aura emanating from his body was oppressive, forcing someone to bow and give in. It was not something every Dick and Tom possessed. It was something that came from years of dominance.

” Who are you?” Daniel found himself asking. He couldn’t ignore Such a man.

” Who am I? Tsk! I am disappointed with you. Is there anybody in this country who doesn’t know of my name?” Ronald asked leisurely. ” But I’ll save you the hassle, afterall you are nothing but a child’s play in my eyes. Call me Don Ronald Johnston.” Ronald answered, the air surrounding him was oppressive making Daniel to Lower his eyes.

” Now, where were we? … Oh yes.. you wanted to claim the life of our prince? Are you qualified to do that?” Ronald spat. He was beyond angry when he heard the bastard say that.” You talked about revenge? Is it because the queen never took you seriously so you are bitter because she chose Justin over you?” Ronald asked tauntingly. He knew how best to get a reaction From his enemies and took pleasure taunting them.

Daniel’s face turned beet red from anger and jealousy. Yes, he had tried to suppress his feelings for Miranda for years but still sent her little flags to show her that he was interested in her. But that woman paid no heed to his actions. She never considered him man enough. In her eyes, he was less Man, she never noticed him.

When he got news that Miranda was dating Justin, he smashed everything in his reach. How could he not hate Justin? He hated the boy to the core for snatching away his bride.

“What do you know?” Daniel asked . He won’t let the guy have the satisfaction of seeing him angry.

” I Know much to realise that you are obsessed with our new queen. But you should give up, you don’t deserve her.” Ronald said plainly, not trying to cover anything. He enjoyed taunting people the most

” You….” Daniel said angrily. He couldn’t get his mind to say anything to refute Ronald’s words. He felt tongue tied.

” What about me? Am I wrong?” Ronald said leisurely. Daniel couldn’t take the insults anymore and decided to act. He skillfully retrieved his gun and pointed at it directly to Justin and then.. bang!

The whole thing happened so fast that even Ronald was late to react. Before he could stop the man, the bullet was already fired. Justin on the other hand was worried sick about the King who still lay unconscious in his lap. All his attention was on the King so he didn’t see who the bullet was aimed at. He heard a gunshot and raised his eyes to see who the unlucky person was only to see that the thing was pointed straight to him.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Before Justin could react, someone already did. Nikolai had been quietly listening to the men argue until he saw one remove a gun and point it at justin. He did not have a second thought before throwing himself before Justin and taking the bullet for him. If he didn’t take that decision, he was damn sure that Justin would be dead by now. The guy must be a skilful shooter. He had pointed directly at Justin’s heart. That was a one shot kill.

Justin closed his eyes expecting the pain but that pain did not come. One second. Two seconds. Five seconds. Ten seconds. Thirty seconds, still no pain. From the calculation of speed in his mind, the bullet would take two to three seconds to hit it so why was there no pain? Or was he already Dead? He wondered and then slowly opened his eyes.

When Justin opened his eyes, he was met by a scene of Nikolai clutching his chest. Blood was oozing From the gunshot wound. He gasped and felt an excruciating pain in his heart. It felt like his heart was ripped open mercilessly. Without thinking, he rushed towards the Man. Somehow, tears started rolling down. He couldn’t seem to control them, so he let them fall freely.

His hand trembled as he touched Nikolai’s wounded chest. Surprisingly, the guy had a huge smile on his face. Justin had learned first aid techniques so he helped Nikolai lie flat on the ground and started applying pressure on his wound. He did it once, twice, thrice but the blood seemed to have continued to flow even More.

Nikolai stretched his other unbloodied hands and tried holding Justin’s cheek.

” My brother… My little brother.” He said with a smile surprising Justin. Yes, they were brothers but they were never that close. All the years they knew each other, Nikolai would always tease Justin in the Palace. Nikolai being the queen’s son, Justin avoided him like a plague. He never liked the queen and the feeling was mutual, she never liked him causing the two brothers to avoid each other.

” Andrew.. I.. I .. pro.. promised o-ur parents too. Al.. ways.. protect you.. I have… do- done my Job.. till my .. la-last breath… You must promise… Me to.. live.. happily… be happy.. and always smile.. am. sorry..” He stopped coughing violently, blood spurted out of his mouth.

” A.. I’m sorry… B. big.. brother .. cannot.. accompany you anymore… If .. I meet.. our parents… I will tell.. them.. how big.. you have.. gr.. grown..” he said and smiled.

Justin’s tears were rolling down uncontrollably Washing his face and Nikolai’s too. Taking a chain from his chest, Nikolai handed it to Justin. ” This is the last thing.. I.. have from our… family… Keep it safe..” Nikolai said and smiled again. The smile was forced and beads of sweat were seen painting his face..
