Third Person’s POV
.
.
.
Grace's eyes widened in fear when she saw that her father was talking about the man who held both the twins mercilessly like an object in his hands. Not to mention, he was talking about that man who was gazing at her intently. She knew that the entire police force was behind him but could not trace a single proof that could land him in jail and, realizing that she just talked with him was making her paranoid.
.
Grace looked around and found that the entire society was witnessing everything but, none of them was coming out to help John's family. Though she was afraid of Zayden Staunton, that did not mean she would not step out of her home to help John and his family.
.
“Have you gone mad? Or have you decided to die today?”, Her mother snapped at her when she realized what her daughter was going to do.
.
“Mom, they are in trouble. Can not you see that?”
.
“Really Grace!, They are bloody criminals. If you get involved in their business, soon we will find ourselves in trouble. And I would not allow you to go there.”
.
“But mom, we can not let that happen!", Grace cried.“I do not think that man is dangerous?”, She said, or more like asked, because she was not very sure of it. She was never interested in reading or listening to the news of the Mafia world, but some stories about him did pass through her ears. And those stories were not something you would like to tell a child while sleeping.
.
“A man who killed his father and wanted to take revenge from his brother is definitely dangerous.”, Her father replied instead of her mother. “I would not let you do stupid things just because you want to help John's family. Zayden is a heartless monster and will not even spare you thinking of you as a woman. So, stay away from him as much as possible.”, He said more like ordered.
.
Grace knew how dangerous he was and, she would be stupid if she had another encounter with him again. That is why she nodded her head like an obedient child when her father ordered but, that did not mean she would not help John and his family. Grace left there saying she had to change her clothes, and when she saw that no one was around. She took out her mobile and started shooting the video.
.
.
“...do you think that I would forgive you just because you have a family now?”, Zayden asked and slapped John. “I am sorry to say but, your family has to bear the consequence of your deeds.”
.
“Please, sir...please leave him.”, John’s wife pleaded but, Zayden handed the twins in her hand carelessly and took out his gun from his back pocket, And placed it on John’s heart. John realized the gun had silver bullets in it while many people gasped in shock and surprise, not to mention fear, as well.
.
“Zayden..please forgive…”, John stopped speaking when Zayden emptied all the bullets in John's heart right away without wasting a single second. Grace gasped, witnessing a murder in front of her eyes while John’s wife collapsed on the ground when she saw the love of her life dying and her world just crushed under the feet of a heartless monster named Zayden Staunton.
.
“I, do not forgive anyone.”, Zayden said, looking at the dead body of John. “Not even those who address me by my name.”, He hit the dead body of John and continued. “And you were not of that level to call me by my name.”, Saying this, he started leaving from there and, Eric was just behind him.
.
.
Eric did not want Zayden to kill John, but then this was nothing new that Zayden did. He had been like this for a long time. He was well aware of the truth that once Zayden had decided something, he could go beyond any extent to get what he wanted, which included even killing someone. Nothing could stop him from achieving what he wanted. His thought wandered toward that kind woman whom they had just met. They believed that she did not live in the same society. Otherwise, Zayden would not have killed John, at least not at his place. He would have killed John far away from here.
Thinking about that woman named Grace, Eric could not help but feel happy for Zayden. He believed that Grace would surely change Zayden with her kindness and love. He had an idea that a woman like Grace would never agree to be with a man like Zayden, so he was determined to do anything to bring both of them together. He thought about all the things which could make Grace fall in love with Zayden, just like Zayden did.
At first, he had to find out all the details of Grace, as it was the task that Zayden had given to him. He chuckled at the thought of what if Grace knew who Zayden was? She would surely run away from Zayden faster than the light.
.
But then, he would not let that happen. He would not let Zayden live alone without a family again. Zayden was not like this from the beginning. Everyone made him like this either by hurting him or betraying him and, John was among them. John and Zayden used to be great friends. At the moment, Zayden became more successful and Powerful than John. John used his sister to hurt him and flew away with Zayden’s money, leaving his sister pregnant.
He had gone through loads of things in his life, and not being able to earn, the only girl who caught his attention would definitely break him. Eric’s heart crunched thinking about Zayden getting hurt.
.
‘No, I will not let that happen. I will do anything to make him happy. And now that Zayden’s happiness resided in his chosen woman.’, He thought.
.
.
Grace was crying a lot after witnessing everything. She had never seen something like that in her life and, she was sure that she would not be able to sleep for nights because of this incident. She was cursing herself for taking them to John’s house. She was too fragile to witness a murder. She closed her eyes but quickly opened them when she recalled how the blood was flowing through John’s heart as a tap left open. Here she was crying in pain while John’s wife was sitting near her husband's dead body, like a statue.
Grace felt like perhaps she could have really done something rather than shooting the video, but she was just a weak woman. When no other men came out for help then, what could she have done?
Little did Grace know that she had the power of stopping this, just by her mere presence. But she did nothing except make a short film on everything which just happened.
.
She did not waste another second and uploaded the video on the internet hoping, that Zayden would soon get arrested because this video would surely help the police as proof against him.
