Sophia rolled her eyes. 'Look when the cops decided to show up' She said in her mind.
Hugo comes back to the living room. "Adrian we have to leave. We've been surrounded and I'm sure enough that the only way to escape without getting blown in the head is if we go now"
"We're in the middle of something"Adrian said stubbornly.
"Suit yourself", Hugo dropped the pistol on a table. "I'm gone"
Then he left the living room.
"Some friend you have" Sophia sneered.
"He's not my friend" Adrian said frowning.
"He should probably be your superior. Seeing as you're nothing more than a wretched low life traitor"
Slowly and expertly, he slashed the dagger across her arm. It was painless to Sophia but immediately, she sees her own blood gush out of her arm down to the floor. She had never seen her own blood like this. She felt terrified immediately.
"What did you do" Mr. Pueterico spluttered in his own saliva.
"Exactly what I'll do to her face if you don't ....."
"Dad please just tell him" Sophia shook
Suddenly there's a bang on the door.
"This is the police. Open the door now or you'll have us come in with force"
"Dad!!!"
"Sophia the will is in your room"
"What"Sophia said softly. In her room. They've been living in that mansion when they moved away from China(her maternal home) since she was 10. And she's 19!!!
"It's been in your room ever since under a loose plank on the floor just beside your bed" Mr. Pueterico said terrified
"If this is some kind of joke..."
"It's not. If it is you might as well end my Daughter's life"
Adrian smirked with satisfaction seeing that he was serious. He slowly cut the ropes around Sophia and removed her blindfold. In no time she was free. She stands up surprised when he put a protective arm around her waist.
Then he aimed the gun at Mr. Pueterico's head. "It was nice doing business with you...."
"What do you think you're doing " Sophia reached out for the gun "He kept the other part of his deal why do you still want to kill him"
Already , the cops had gotten tired of waiting and had started to break down the door which seemed difficult because it was a bullet proof door.
"It's none of your business Sophia. So stay out of this"He started struggling for the gun with her.
"None of my business??? He's my father!!"
They kept struggling with the gun and suddenly a loud bang was heard. They stopped and looked. Mr. Pueterico was staring heavenwards. There was a smothering bullet right in his left breast. He rolled back his eyes and then shut them immediately. He was dead.
