CHAPTER 30 - DEAD BODY

Kara’s body was shaking when familiar arms enveloped her from behind. 

“Get away from me, you monster!” She cried, evading those stifling arms.

She felt like retching. 

She remembered the last time Nico showed him how ruthlessly he dealt with people who crossed him.  

It was bloody!

Kara squeezed her eyes shut.  The image of Marco lying in a pool of blood plays in her mind. 

“He’s not dead. You are overacting!”  Nico jolted her back to her senses.

Kara slowly opened her eyes, and true enough, Marco Bonacci was not dead.    

“He just fainted from fear. What a coward!”  He tsked, but his derogatory words did not affect Kara. 

Her eyes scanned his body for any trace of blood. She found none. 

Then, she dropped to her knees and put her index finger to his nostrils to check if he was still breathing.
