CHAPTER 108

AISHA'S TRIAL IS OUT as expected, she was tried and convicted for all the deaths that had taken place in the last two months.

She looked at her brother and looked pleased.

Asaph in turn went to her in his wheelchair.

— I know everything our parents did.

She spat in his face.

— Didn't you realize it's a worm? — I pity you.

Asaph smiled.

— Deep down I know that your darkness is just a shadow in a sea of darkness.

She smiled.

— Keep your preaching to yourself.

She followed the courthouse corridor escorted by a police officer.

Sandro Palmeira put his hand on the boy's shoulder.

— Try to understand her — he said solicitously — she doesn't know love.

OTHER THAN AISHA, all the charges against Martín were inconclusive and once again acquitted.

Martín got up, buttoned his jacket and greeted Sandro Palmeira.

— Congratulations on the attempt, sir, best detective in the world, but I can it's power.

He went out waving to all the people.

Sandro smiled to himself.

The battle is far from over...

He still had an ace up his sleeve.

ESPERANZA WAS A VERY special girl, beautiful, intelligent, completely the opposite of what they imagined they would be, after all, if she pulled either one of them, she would be another loser in life, but the strength to live had taken care of the little one, and that irritated her. both deeply.

When she turned eight years old, her paternal grandmother started taking her to church, and she discovered that nightmares, as bad as they are, can get even worse.

And they stayed...

Father Ramón forced her to have sex with his nephew while he was masturbating looking at the two of them. It hurt her so much, but her grandmother forced her to stay with the priest saying that if she wanted to have a future in life, she would need God.

If that was God, all she wanted in life was to get away from a...

This life she had to endure until she was twelve years old, but after killing Jean Desjardin the invitation was inevitable to enter the Society of the Sun, even because the refusal of the invitation was certain death, no one could know about the Brotherhood.

With Jean's death, one of the leaders decided to take care of me within the Brotherhood, his name was Andromacus von Cielo, the most bloodthirsty man anyone could ever meet. Some said he was Himmler's reincarnation, and that killing was as natural a habit as eating and as essential a necessity as water.

AFTER THE TRIAL, the police officer took me to the car, put her in the back seat and left the scene.

— You have an important connection.

Aisha answered the call.

— Hello, yes... of course... thank you... I knew I could count on you...

The car stopped and she got out. The police officer took her handcuffs and held out a backpack.

— I think everything you need is there.

— Sure, thank you.

MARTÍN GONZALEZ WAS in his library, nonchalantly smoking a cigar, and noticed the presence of someone he hadn't expected to see so soon.

— My dear, Aisha, you can show up, I know you're there.

She emerged from the darkness of the room and Martín smiled with satisfaction.

— Vrill has always been your means of escape, hasn't it?

— Yours too, as far as I can remember, we both have a past we'd like to forget.

She smiled.

— I killed my past, one by one.

— Even Vrill, if it weren't for you, everyone would not even imagine that she existed, she would remain a shadow in the midst of darkness, as she has always been through the millennia.

— But now, Aisha Camino needs to die, just like Esperanza Sanchez.

— I fully agree.

Martín pointed a small revolver in his direction.

— What are you doing?

— Breaking the last link I have from my past.

Aisha moved like a cat, she knew the little revolver had five shots.

No, five chances for him to kill her, but she would only have one.

The hatred used in that kick was so intense that it broke Martín Gonzalez's neck on the spot.

Aisha paused for a moment to catch her breath.

It's over... it's finally over...
