AS A SLEEPING FRIEND

65. Extra Part 2

Javier and Elin walk down the beach without wearing their footwear. The wind blows breezy with the sun that is not too hot.

Javier stops their steps, then holds both of his wife's shoulders, he stares at Elin's late-goal bead, making Elin wonder what Javier wants to say to her.

"What's wrong?" ask Elin.

"I've found Liam" Javier replied starting.

Elin blinked her eyes, but a moment later she glared and cast a sideways glance.

"I will punish him. What do you think I should-"

"Just up to you, brother!" sela Elin with a bad look.

"You sure you don't want to see him first? He's still your brother anyway" Javier said.

Elin smiled cynically. "Sister? I never felt like he was my brother."

"You don't think of him as your brother because he sold you out, and then planned an accident back then?"

"Well, that's the strongest factor. But he never thought of me either. Long before that day .. I already hated it. I used to think of him, thinking he was a big brother who could protect me as his sister. But it turns out he's very evil. He tortured me. He beat me every day without mercy" said Elin who immediately then shed his tears.

Javier is overwhelmed by this fact, and he learns that Elin suffered such torture from Liam, even when Elin was still living in her own parents' house.

"Is the scar on your stomach also because of it?" ask Javier. He was quite curious why in Elin's stomach there was a kind of blackened skin, Javier thought it was the scars of Elin's accident at that time, so he did not ask further, he did not ask, but hearing Elin's confession now Javier wants to know the truth.

"Yes, it's because he put a hot iron on my stomach."

Javier. What was Elin's life like before she met him? Javier never asked.

"... ever since then, I've always thought Liam was nothing more than a stranger. I don't want to meet him, because he will always use my feelings to give him forgiveness" Elin said.

"alright. Then, I'll interpret this as a sign that you're handing over all decisions regarding Liam to me."

Elin nodded steadily and at that moment Javier brought Elin into his arms.

"Make sure I don't have to see him next day. I don't want to see her again at any time." Elin was hugged in Javier's arms and the man nodded in response to his wife's speech.

...***...

Irina cries every day for forgiveness from a woman she knows named Carla. Irina knows that this tomboy woman is a bodyguard who had an accident with Elin, 2 years ago. So, without needing to be explained by Carla about her mistake, Irina was immediately self-conscious and afraid of Carla's retaliation against her.

"How many times do I have to apologize to you, Miss. I beg you to forgive me. Forgive me and don't torture me like this again." Irina screamed at the end of her sentence because an object full of thorns again pierced her feet that had been bleeding. The object will press automatically on his leg every few minutes.

Carla did not comment on Irina's words at all, she only smiled wryly whenever the woman asked for her forgiveness.

"Or, you better kill me. I couldn't bear the pain anymore. Don't torture me anymore." Irina spoke again every time she missed and again screeched if the same thing pierced her leg.

Irina felt that it was better for her to die than to feel this kind of continuous pain. He's really tormented. Not to mention his legs like he could no longer move. There's only pain.

"It's nothing" said Carla who finally spoke. "After all, you will die later, but this is not the time yet" he stressed.

Hearing Carla's speech actually made Irina hold her breath. Although he knew in the end he would be diha-bi-si. But, still it made his heart beat fast.

A loud door push, made Irina and Carla reflexively turn towards the entrance.

There, Javier arrives to see what Carla has done to Irina.

"Javs. Please, please let me go, help me, Jav!" irina's enthusiastic screams saw Javier's arrival. He thinks Javier's gonna forgive him? Is he crazy? Instead Javier will be much more cruel to treat him than what Carla did, only he still does not want to dirty his hands because of Irina. He was only waiting for the final stage because the decision was in his hands.

"Jav, please, Jav! I will do anything to make up for my mistakes!"

Javier ignored everything Irina said, he looked at Carla at the other end. "Are you satisfied with punishing him?" ask the tomboy woman.

"I'm still looking for his hand, sir," Carla replied.

Hearing that, Irina swallowed her saliva hard. What does Carla mean? What after his feet, then these punctures will also be felt by his hands as well?

"Please kill me now!" irina said with resignation.

Javier laughed when he heard it.

"You think this is all you decide?" Javier's getting chuckled.

Javier looked at Irina fixedly. "You saw me, right?" point it at yourself. "I .. who have the right to determine the continuation of your life!" pepas stressed.

"Remember our original plan, sir," Carla said.

Javier stood up straight again, tidying up his clothes that were almost tangled because of his own actions.

"All right, you take care of him. The bloodier the better" Javier said with a grim grin. Irina's eyes bully at him.

"What are your plans?" ask Irina before Javier leaves the place.

Javier sniffed his shoulder, and Carla said.

"Make you food for the tiger."

"You gotta be kidding me, right?" Irina let out a discordant laugh that sounded very bitter.

"Mr Gladwin never messes around when deciding something." Carla crossed her arms, looking at Irina with a scornful look.

"Don't. No!!!" Irina's screams were like the sound of Javier's escorts walking away from the place.

...***...

The second Javier visited today was Liam. Because Elin had also submitted the decision to him, Javier came there with a pair of gloves that he had worn.

Liam seemed to be in the same hanging position as two days ago. The difference is, now he is weaker to make Javier singled out his distinctive smirk smile.

"Javier ..." Liam made a sound with his heavy voice.

"Hmm?" Javier muttered in response to Liam's call.

"Don't punish me harder than this."

"I know. Then today your sentence will be stopped."

"really?" Liam looks as if from his inverted position when he sees Javier's whereabouts down there.

"Yes. You know that I always make my words happen" Javier replied.

"Then, let go of this bond of mine. You know, I feel really tormented in this position. I can't even count the time, but I feel like it's been too long."

"Yeah, you're right. I don't want to linger either."

Javier grabbed his gun and cocked it right then and there. Realizing that, Liam tried to break away, wriggling in his bound position.

"Javs... Jav what am I doing?"

"Letting you out of pain, relieving you of punishment" Javier replied in his distinctive raspy voice.

Javier pointed his gun at Liam up there, making him his target.

"I gave you 2 options, the first is I shot you in the head and the second is I cut off your neck veins."

Liam roars begging for Javier's forgiveness which Javier does not gubris at all. He continued speaking to the man who should be his sister-in-law.

"But options are just options, Liam. In fact, it was still me who determined," muttered Javier, and DOR .. he pressed the trigger right then and there, making a bullet directly lodged in Liam's head.

Blood dripped along with Liam's head being shot, but Javier was still watching if the man was still breathing.

Javier is not satisfied with just one shot. In his mind, it was always imagined how the torture Liam did to Elin, until because the torture was what caused the scar on his wife's body.

DOR !

DORR!!!

The next 2 bullets shot back, as well as making Liam die at that time.1 in the heart of Liam and the other in the neck of the man.

Javier smirked in satisfaction. Throwing him the gun he used to execute Liam and then dumping his gloves as well.

Javier came out of the stuffy room and said slowly to Willy who was standing by the side of the door.

"Take him and clean it all up."
