Chapter 20Chapter 25 – Blood For BloodÂ
“Cruel? I don’t think you’re qualified to ever use such words, Lily,” I said.Â
Lily had tears in her eyes as she went down on her knees. “Please, Kira, she’s all I have left. Spare her life,” she cried.Â
I stared at her for a second and then I burst into laughter.Â
‘This was the same way I begged you to spare my mother’s life but instead you broke her urn,”Â
stated.Â
‘I was naive and foolish. I’m so sorry, Kira, I’ll do whatever you want,” she cried.Â
‘Bring my parents back and restore my dignity. Take away that night, make the world seem lik hat night never happened,” I said to her.Â
If I could do that I would but that’s impossible,” Lily stated, crying.Â
stared at her pathetic look and suddenly a plan formed in my mind.Â
Well, maybe if you indulge me and make me happy I will reconsider,” I said.Â
She nodded, “Yes, I’ll do anything you want.”Â
smirked, “Are you sure? I want you to entertain me. Bark like a dog for starters.”Â
ily looked uncertain as she stared at me and Damon. Damon didn’t seem to pay any attentior o her as he tapped his phone rapidly.Â
Please, Kira -” she started to say but I interrupted her sharply.Â
If you can’t do it then get lost!” I snapped, losing my patience.Â
She contemplated and then suddenly she was on all fours barking like a dog.Â
burst into laughter as I pulled out my phone and started recording. She did several other anima ounds until I finally got tired.Â
Then I edited them and posted it online. The post went viral in a second and she saw it on herÂ
hone.Â
With tears filled eyes she looked at me and I almost would have felt pity for her if she had everÂ
itied me just once.Â
Will you let my mother live now?” she asked me.Â
beforeÂ
smirked and stood up before responding, “No. She’s probably dead now and the surgery has been completed. I’ve ordered them to feed your mother’s corpse to crows along with that of yourÂ
ather. That’s what they deserve.”Â
Pure rage filled her face as she launched herself toward me.Â
‘Oh you vicious monster, I’m gonna kill you!” she snarled.Â
But before she could do anything the door opened and Troy stepped inside with three nursesÂ
who held her down.Â
“Is it done?” I asked him.Â
He stared at Lily who was struggling in the hold of the nurses before he nodded his head.Â

“Done, I’ve done exactly as you’ve asked. Lily’s mother is dead and her body is bird food.”Â
I turned to stare at Damon who gave me a nod from his secret man that has infiltrated them.Â
“Then it’s time for her to become sterile,” I grinned.Â
I stared at Lily who’s eyes widened in shock and then she started crying.Â
“No, please… you promised, Kira!” she cried.Â
‘We all make a lot of promises, Lily, it doesn’t mean we keep them,” I stated.Â
“I’ll kill you! I’ll ruin you!!” she cried.Â
‘You can’t do shit, Lily. Maple Group is bankrupt, your boy toys are over you especially after revealed what you and your father was planning. You’re all alone in this world left with nothing out to grovel and beg for food for the rest of your life,” I said.Â
We’re going to prepare her for surgery,” Troy said.Â
Lily screamed as they dragged her away and I followed them swiftly.Â
n the theatre room I made it very certain that I didn’t want them giving her any anesthesia.Â
Lily started crying again. “Have mercy, Kira, please.”Â
But her pleas all fell on deaf ears. Then she turned to Troy.Â
Troy, I love you. How could you agree with her to do this to me?” she cried.Â
Troy scoffed, “You’re one to talk when you connived with your father so you could make me the all guy and abandon me.”Â
Lily started crying, “No, I just agreed with him because I had no choice. I would never do that, would have saved you.”Â
But it was too late. They strapped her down and then cut into her.Â
Lily’s screams were raw and heartbreaking as they performed the procedure. It was almost similar to the one I screamed on that day.Â
But it wasn’t nearly enough to make up for all the pains they’ve caused me.Â
So I stood and watched as they completed the procedure and when she passed out, her throat raw from screaming, I knew she had finally attained the same type of pain I felt when those men invaded my parents home.Â
