Chapter 105: Last Conversation
Viviana sucked in a deep breath closing her eyes. She slowly released her breath and sat on her knees, making it easier for him to kill her. When she heard him walking to her, she tried to calm her pounding heart. As the cold muzzle of the gun pressed into her forehead, her lips curved into a smile as she had said everything she wanted to say.
But she had something left to say. She had a question actually.
She wanted to know if he remembered her.
Each time she looks into his eyes, she remembered Leona and the time they spent together in the cave that day. Did he really forget Leona? He was so attached to her that day, and he even has the tattoo of...
He does not have the tattoo of Michael but of Jophiel. Why?
But maybe she should die not getting the answer to that question. She did not want his eyes to be the last thing she sees. Maybe she would regret dying then. Her eyes filled with tears. She couldn’t calm down anymore.
Somewhere, she found some attachment to life.
One more hug, maybe... One more kiss...
So, as the muzzle of his gun pressed on her forehead warmed and reached her body temperature with the passage of time, she stayed with her eyes closed. She is human. An unfortunate one at that. Nothing she wishes for will come true. She is meant to die with regrets.
But maybe she is lucky. All her life, she had one or another person who would show her kindness and care. Even in the lair of the lion, she was treated with care by the lion himself.
Her life, on average, was not totally bad.
She didn’t know if one would feel pain as bullets pass through. Kastello would know where to shoot to kill. She trusted him. But when she felt the tremble in the piece of metal on her forehead, she gulped.
