Chapter 24 - Chapter Twenty Four 24 The Truth

"This is just the beginning Louis Grey" he said.

"You pulled a fast one on me, if anything happens to her, you'll die" said Louis leaving as he carries Rosaline in his arms.

Rosaline had scratched herself and was still burning up he decided to take her to the hospital and she had a swollen forehead.

"I'm sorry" he whispers placing her on the stretcher.

Louis paces up and down in the hallway and the doctor finally comes out from the ward, he looks at Louis who was bleeding by the corner of his mouth with little scratches on his face.

"She's fine; she's just tired and stressed out, I gave her some medicine to help the fever subside and the ones for pregnant women so no need to worry it won't affect the baby" said the doctor.

Louis freezes his eyes widened "She's pregnant?" He said

"Yes congratulations to you, she's already four months" said the doctor.

"Can I go see her?" He asked.

"Sure" said the doctor leaving.

Louis opens the door and sees Rosaline fast asleep, he walks slowly and sits next to her burying his face in her arm.

"I had to kill them"

"But all this wasn't supposed to happen I couldn't bring myself to kill you especially when I looked into those eyes as you called out to me; you're the only one who made me feel this way" said Louis his eyes turning red again.

"Even after all this I can't bear to let you go, you're my compass; you lead me towards the light rose, if I loose you then I've lost myself, for years I felt like no one could bring me down,but you did it; you've got a hold on me" he said, looking at her with pitiful eyes.

"You gave me happiness, love and showed me the beauty of innocence, the one I've never had since childhood,i never got to love or feel loved when I was little, when i was sad and needed shelter i didn't know where to go, but you came into my life covering me like a fog it felt warm, you...made me discover shelter and peace (sniffles) but in return what did I give you? I dragged you into my darkness" he gritted through his teeth he felt a tear trickle down his eye and it lands on the sheets. He placed his hand on her belly stroking it, "I love you and our baby, I would never let anything happen to the two of you" he said kissing her forehead and leaving.

 He stands up and goes outside; Ashely was outside too, she stands up looking at him.

"Master Grey are you leaving?" She asked.

"Yes take care of her, get her home by the morning when she wakes up, don't let her hurt herself she's four months pregnant" he said walking away. Ashley was stunned at his words she watched him leave, depression, anger and sadness emanating from him.

Louis drives to a cliff sitting on his car and smoking when his phone rings.

"Master Grey" was showing on the caller ID. Louis' face turns ashen and he looks answers "What do you want?" He asked

"You beat this is all your fault, you didn't kill them all and now you're going to pay for that, we're finished" came Victor Grey's angry voice.

"You've killed us all" said Victor.

Louis sneers "Is Satan scared of death now" said Louis.

"You're a fucking devil that's what you are if anything happens to us you're the one to blame" said Victor Grey.

"I'm scared, Master Grey, do you want me to beg you like I did before, the way you wanted" said Louis his voice filled with anger.

"A sinner has to pay for his sins, yours are many Master Grey, watching you loose everything gives me pleasure" said Louis.

"I'm going to kill her, that woman has charmed you, you can't even think straight" Victor yelled.

"I haven't been thinking straight since you raised me what's the use" said Louis.

"It's not her we're up against, Rosaline has nothing to do with this so get your dirty claws off my wife" said Louis.

"You misplaced the Red Box because of a woman" said Victor.

"Are you doing this on purpose just to get at me you devil" said Victor.

"I don't know " said Louis with a carefree attitude.

"We'll meet in hell sooner or later; I might as well pay for my sins too, but yours is very near i can feel it in my bones" said Louis.

"I'll drag you down too" said Victor

"I'm already stuck with you, but the truth is who is really dragging who down" said Louis hanging up.

"You're a dead man Victor Grey" he said fire sparks in his eyes, with deep meaning and he throws the cigarette away then starts laughing and screams.

Rosaline opens her eyes and scans the room; she sees Ashley sitting down.

"Mrs Grey-

"Don't call me that where is he?" She asked with red eyes about to stand up.

"You all knew about this didn't you, and you all looked at me in the face and lied to me" she said her choked up.

"Miss Rose please listen; you're pregnant; please calm down Master Grey said I should bring you home and he'll tell you everything, you need to know" said Ashley helping Rosaline up. Rosaline's face went pale " I'm pregnant " she said holding her stomach.

"You're four months, just come home" said Ashley.

Rosaline pushes her hand away "I'll walk myself" she said walking away.

Rosaline felt like she couldn't breathe especially when she saw Louis waiting for her in their bedroom. Ashely and Reinald left the room. The two of them looked at each other saying nothing.

"How do you feel?" Louis asked her, his eyes showing guilt.

"Why do you care, your mask is off why are you still pretending Louis Grey" said Rosaline

"There was no mask, when it came to you; everything was real" said Louis.

"I'll just ask again, I want to hear it from you" said Rosaline.

"Was it you who killed them?" She asked Louis sighs and he lowers his head like a child.

"Yes it was me, I followed my father's orders to kill them, I blew up the house" he said raising his head up and looking at her his eyes dark. Rosaline holds the desk to support herself tears falling down.

"I took the red box" said Louis.

"What's this Red Box's deal?" She asked.

"It started thirty years ago, the Scorpions and the Black Snakes, they were two mafia clans working for the king of Mafia called the Dragon, he was the richest and powerful Mafia leader in globally, with diverse connections. He died without having a heir to inherit his riches and connections; he kept all his assets and keys to his riches in the red box, the Scorpions and the Black Snakes wanted it for themselves and that's how the bloody war started, the red box needs a special key to open it and that one's missing too, no one seemed to ever find it, well recently your father who is a black snake got the red box and I was assigned by my father to get it" said Louis; looking into her eyes that were filled with shock. "Mafia" she whispered.

"I took the red box and was about to leave that night...but then I came across you; I wanted to leave you there; I just couldn't bring myself to do it; so I took you away" said Louis.

Rosaline's cold facial expression turns into shocked facial expression.

"Yes it was me; I took you to the forest; you looked so innocent; even though you were an Anderson; I didn't seem to care and I didn't know what why; I went to get something but when I came back you were gone I searched for you, for years I felt incomplete without you, I wanted you and at the same time I didn't, I saw you again, i couldn't bear to let you suffer so I took you away from the Grey family" he said to her.

"You've been in here, you took my heart, I wondered why I was punished this way, I tried to stay away, and wanted you to be by my side too. I felt empty and naked and- lost without you I couldn't hold back when I saw you with Michael, I didn't seem to care about we being enemies anymore I couldn't loose you to him; even though you found out, at least it was going to be the only good memory I would have in a lifetime" he said going closer to her.

"You're my end and my beginning, my reason to live and reason to die, my curse and blessing, I love you and I can't stop myself from doing it and I can't hate you, I never expected this to happen" he said to her his eyes filled with longing.

How do you think things would end up after this confession?
