CREATED FOR RUIN CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
GINEVRA I had been in the hospital for a week. It took me at least three days to get back on my feet but my body needed the rest and I took it, making sure to feel refreshed and ready to face the world and its hassle once again. There I was on that bed, surrounded by gifts, roses, all shades of it sent by Ricardo as though he wasn’t the one who put me on that hospital bed. Except for when Ricardo’s men would deliver his gifts, and when Izzy, who often disguised herself as a nurse to sneak into my private ward and see how well I was doing, I got not even a visitor. Not one. Only then did I realize how awfully boring and lonely my life had been. I made a promise to myself—a promise that whenever this phase of my life passed, I was going to live a better life. To actually live. Today I was getting discharged, and after tons of check-ups, I was finally ready to leave with my driver who had been waiting for me the whole day. The moment I arrived the estate, I headed straight to the u

GINEVRA I had never been this anxious all my life. I had never had to constantly looking over my shoulders in anticipation for the worst. I had never had to constantly question my capabilities. Until recent times. One week. It had been a week since my plans were put into action. It had been a week since all available products were successfully transported to a different location while I continuously visited the abandoned warehouse, conducting my regular business transactions as though nothing was amiss. The whole point of this was to lure the Sanchez's and their cohorts in, use my own landscape to my advantage. The plan was simple, and what remained was the perfect execution. My men were guarding the whole area, perfectly hidden away in the bushes, heavily equipped with guns, grenades, bullets—every firearm needed for maximum defense when an attack was launched. Today, overlooking all my protests, Raul had adamantly followed me into the warehouse like the stubborn man he was.

GINEVRA The blood which had soaked me up earlier had dried up against my skin, causing the feel of disgust. From my stab wound, blood had continuously overflown. I was in pain, but I had a goal. Until my goal was attained, I didn’t care if I bled to death. I brought my bike to a stop when Sanchez's headquarters came into view. My binoculars were gripped in both hands while I monitored the entire vicinity. Soldiers, lots of them, stationed on guard with their guns in hand. They were expecting me. I was weak, bloodied, disgusted, battered, and I was alone, about to face vicious animals all by myself. I sat in contemplation on my motorbike. To move forward, or to give up? I chose the former. Like I said, this world of ours, the mafia was a death pact. It was until death did you apart. If today was my day, I'd accept it but not before making the most out of it. Picking up my phone, I dialed the manor. Paulo answered. "How is he?" my voice shook as I enquired about Raul’s con

GINEVRA One week later. One. Two. Three. Three knocks resounded on my door, startling me back to reality. “Come!” Gracie walked in, a forced smile etched on her lips. “I just concluded my daily checkup on Raul. . .he really is recovering quicker than I expected.” A chuckle had escaped her as she reported Raul’s health condition to me. In silence, I watched her face, observing the depth of her frown—her unhappy eyes. When Gracie was finished talking, she began approaching the door when I called her back. “Gracie, could you sit with me for a second?” She hesitated, but when I shot her my pleading eyes, she had instantly succumbed. I scooted close to her and held her hand in mine. Our eyes connected with a swirl of emotions as silence encased us. My heart knew what her heart held, and Gracie’s heart knew what my heart held. The understanding of the heaviness in our hearts had forced tears out of our eyes. “Not even an invite to his funeral, Ginevra.” Her body quaked while she hu

GINEVRA "Julia?" "Oh God. . .no. . .no. . .no." I found myself in a dark, smoke-filled alleyway, when a ray of light appeared in a corner, I followed its direction until I got to the end of it where the light shone so bright. But all of that changed in a split second. There was blood, too much of it, flowing like a river towards my direction, threatening to drown me. I looked down and found that Julia was laying lifeless on the ground, all burnt up and disfigured. I called out to her many times, yet, I was met with silence. I leaned down, attempting to graze her face with my fingers when her eyes shot open, blood spewing out of them. "You left me." Her thunderous, monstrous voice ricocheted. The blood which had been drowning me suddenly dried up. I took to my heels, screaming for help while Julia chased after me. "You fucking coward, they killed me and you let them breathe. I hate you; I hate leaving everything to you. You're a disappointment." Her voice kept ringing in my e

RICARDO Death, one word that carried depth. Something that had never and will never be evitable. It creeped up at your doorstep, taking you unaware just when your life began holding meaning. The funniest thing about death was how many people begged for it, yet, it didn’t come. Many people forced it upon themselves. And many people planned out how it'd play out for them. Death was dreaded by all, yet, a lot of people obsessed over it—I might’ve been one of those people who were obsessively fascinated by death. How else could I describe the way I lived my life? Hiding from people, taking up the name—Ghost, living in the shadows. . . I lived a baseless life until I met my doom and she pulled me out of the shadows and made me her own; her target. The first time I met Ginevra Rodriguez, I knew I was doomed. What was more baffling was the knowing that she was my ruin, still, I couldn't keep my distance. That was who she was, an enchantress. She pulled me all the way in and entrap

GINEVRA I put on an all back overall, black combat boots, a red wig, and enough make up to help enhance my disguise as I readied myself to attend Ricardo's funeral. My friends thought it an extremely bad idea to be around the Sanchez's at a time like this—a time when they were burying their son who was murdered by me, but I had no care in the world. How could I bring myself to stay home while a better part of me was being put into the ground? How could I sit there knowing that if I at least had a little bit of control over my intrusive thoughts, then we wouldn't have been in that messed up situation? Ten days, one week and three days ago, I shot Ricardo twice. In his heart. And ever since that day, I had been in the run. I could never forget that night when I suffered a panic attack and the chaos that ensued immediately Alex had left with Ricardo's lifeless body. I could never forget how I scrunched myself up in a corner, clawing at my head, neck and face in attempt to shut out t

GINEVRA My eyebrows creased together in confusion but before I could say anything, my earpiece activated. "You've been spotted, Ginevra, and unless you're hell bent on dying, get the hell out of there!" Paulo hollered. "I think what he meant was. . .run!" Izzy yelled and I took off. "Give me a fucking break," Harley sneered. Gunshots rippled around her like fireworks. My situation too, wasn't any better considering half the henchmen of the Sanchez's were pursuing me like their life depended on it. They wanted to take me in alive but that didn't stop them from sending bullets my way. I ran until my black SUV double crossed me and I jumped inside, panting and choking on my cough as my lungs were on fire. "Look who made it," Dominico jested. Meaning to chuckle, a groan escaped my throat when I felt a sting on my arm. My eyes snapped to my arm and I found Raul trying to stop the blood flow by applying pressure on the wound I didn't even realize was there. That was how numb I was p
