ZACHARY'S POV
" Any information?" I asked, clenching my fist.
" Not yet but we're trying." Riley whispered, offering me a sad smile.
I exhaled a blow of air and grabbed his collar in frustration. " I want my September, f*cking right now. It's been twelve hours since she's missing."
Riley nodded his head and removed my grip from his collar.
" Zachary, don't loose your temper. We will find her but for that, you've to act mature. Your anger is not a solution, it will only complicate the situation." Blake said, patting Riley's shoulder.
I ignored his words and grabbed my hairs. " Wherever she is, I hope she's fine." I tried to calm myself but f*ck, my body was becoming restless, ever passing second.
I don't know what had happened after she kissed me on the road when we were returning from cemetery. All I remember was something hitting me hard on head and then everything went black. After I gain consciousness, I tried to find her but she was nowhere to be seen.
Damn it. Where she could be?
May be she had ran away but my mind is not ready to accept this fact. She can never leave her daughter like this.
But what if she was kidnapped?
My heart started thumping louder at that thought and unconsciously I pleaded for her safety.
" Zach, you need to see this." Door flew open and Grace entered with laptop in her hand.
I raised my eyebrow and averted my eyes to the screen which was playing a video. She turned up the volume and David's filthy face appeared.
" Zachary Wilson, guess what? I have your f*cking sexy wife on my bed." As soon as this words rang into my ears, I smashed the laptop on floor and gestured Riley to find that motherf*cker.
My fingers started quivering and then it hit me. September wasn't lying. That bastard had tried to molest her but curse to my stupidity, I believed his words and thought that September was all over him.
I shook my head to clear everything. There's no time for guilt. First I've to save September from that pig.
I swear, I will bloody kill him without any mercy.
He can't harm my September. She's mine, all mine. No one can touch her body.
After shoving the gun in my waistband, I sat inside the car and waited impatiently to let Blake track David.
" We have found him." He smiled.
I pressed my eyes shut and after thirty minutes, I reached to my destination.
My mind was blank. All I wanted was to kill him but before that I wanted September. Her safety was my priority but nothing was rushing in the back of my head. It was like, there was fear. Fear of losing my wife, fear of not seeing her again, fear of emptiness.
I gulped saliva down my throat and with heavy steps I entered inside his house only to find his men. Riley and Blake stared shooting them but without giving them a second, I rushed upstairs only to find David, sitting on his chair, facing wall.
" Where is September?" I pointed the gun at him.
He laughed and turned his face in my direction.
" I killed her....almost." He shrugged his shoulder.
I stiffened all of sudden, sweat started covering my body. A sharp pain ignited in my chest and everything stilled.
FLASHBACK
" D..Dad." I cried, watching his lifeless body on the ground.
" I killed him." He laughed, mercilessly.
I stared at my father's body. Blood was coming out from her forehead. He had shot the gun without thinking twice. I blinked and shifted my eyes to my mother who was also killed. Her once beautiful face was now pale and red with blood.
Mum. Dad.
I held my breath but tears didn't came out. My throat was craving to scream their name and run to them but everything was silent. Even the sound of gunshots were immune to me.
Fear was now long gone.
FLASHBACK ENDS
September.
My lips started quivering to call out her name but the memory was pulling me back into the past. That fear which was long gone had returned. That pain was now hurting me through September.
I shook my head and searched for her and there she was. Lying on the floor, naked, body covered with cuts and bruises.
I clenched my fist in fear and took steps to her. As I was close to her, I sat on the ground and removed my shirt to put it over her body. I kept her head on my lap and looked at her face. Her once beautiful face was now full of bruises. Her hairs were no more. He had shaved her head. I licked my lips and unconsciously a tear escaped my eyes.
The heart which I've always thought that didn't exist was now clenching in pain. My September was in pain. But I became unable to save her.
I don't want to loose her. I..I will let her go away from me but please stay alive September. If you'll die then I won't be able to live anymore.
I closed my eyes and more tears started rolling down. There was time when I found satisfaction in her pain but at this moment, all I want was to experience her smile.
P..Please god. Save her.
I prayed, forgetting the hate I had for prayers.
I wiped my tears and carried her up in my arms to take her to the doctor but before I could take any step further, David started laughing.
I licked my lips and pointed the gun at him to finish his story but he said something which made the gun slip from my grip.
" You're wife was virgin."
I stared at his pathetic face and waited for him to laugh again and confirm that he was telling a lie.
But, he didn't.
" Trust me, I was shocked to find that Zachary Wilson's wife was untouched before. Tell me, how you managed to keep yourself away from her tempting body?" He raised his eyebrow.
She was virgin?
She lied to me? Then what about Claire? Who is she to her?
My mind started pulsing with questions but right now my main priority was to take her to the doctor.
" She was calling your name for help. She believed that her husband will come to rescue her. She was crying when I thrust into her, she pleaded. She became lifeless sex doll whom I used and then brutally bruised her. It was fun."
I took the gun and without a second thought, I killed him.
But this time I didn't get the relief in watching a dead body.
She was calling me for help? She must have thought that I will come but I didn't and this guilt was never going to leave me.
***
" Don't worry Zach. She will be fine."
Someone said but I was on the edge of getting a panic attack.
She was in operation theater, doctors said that they will try their best to save her but this fear of losing her was making me restless.
I closed my eyes and remembered the times I had with her. Now everything seemed like a dream, even at once it was reality.
It was all my fault. If only I had never killed her family and boyfriend then right now she must have been smiling instead of this hell.
I was her hell.
Suddenly, I remembered.
Wife of that man whom I killed, had said something.
"I know Zachary Wilson you don't have any family and that's why you will not understand our pain but mark my words one day, one day you will cry over your destiny. You'll never get the love in your life. Never. A person like you don't deserve to be loved."
Love?
And then it hit me.
I am in love with her.
I didn't knew how to react. Should I be happy for this or cry over my f*cking Destiny?
I will never get the love in return and now I don't want that too. I only want her happiness and if her happiness is in anything but me then I am ready to stay away from her, forever.
F*ck. I really love her.
Please September, survive this for me and I promise I will fade from your life. From now on, Zachary wilson will be only in your disgusting past.
I am not lucky enough to have you but that's not about my luck. A person like me deserve nothing but to die.
That woman was right. A person like me don't deserved to be loved.
I f*cking don't deserve you.
" Mr. Wilson."
Doctor came out which made me snap out from my thoughts.
" Y..Yes." I stammered.
" Your wife is now out of the danger but..."
Every nerve in my body calmed down. It was like my heart has finally taken the beat of peace.
She's fine. My September is fine.
I pushed the saliva down my throat and asked. " But, what?"
