Chapter 13:

Someone dies

Playing With Fire


Yuri got super mad and wanted to kill the one who had taken her. Just then, he got a call. 

"Looking for Cara?," the caller asked. 

"Jason?!," Yuri asked, shocked. 

"Oh. So you do remember me, bastard?," Jason said.

"Where is she?!," Yuri asked. 

"Somewhere in the universe," Jason replied in a playful tone. 

"Don't fuck with me! Where is Cara?!," Yuri angrily said. 

"Hold your horses, shithead! I tied her up and she's blindfolded. And you know what? I'm gonna kill her!," Jason said as he laughed menacingly.

"Kill her?! But you love her. Right?!," Yuri asked.

"Love?! Of course not! She told me herself that loving someone was like playing with fire and fire is dangerous!," Jason said, laughing. 

"Just tell me how much money you want! I'll give it to you!," Yuri said. 

"Money?! I do have a lot of that. But it won't hurt me if you gave me this girl and just a little bit of your money," Jason said. 

"Give Cara to you?! Oh, hell no!," Yuri said. 

"Well then, if that's what you want, then so be it. Bye bye, Yuri!" Jason said. 

He hung up leaving Yuri confused. He didn't know what to do now. Cara, the one he loved, was gone. He wanted her back but he didn't know how. 


He got dressed up, took his gun and stepped out of the penthouse only to be met by five guys who fought him and took him somewhere when he became unconscious. 


He woke up. He was lying on a mattress that was very uncomfortable. The room had a fan that gave him very little air and it was considerably dark in there. 

He tried to shout but he was gagged. 

Entirely hopeless, he just sulked into the mattress, missing Cara and everything about her. 


"Wakey wakey, bastard," someone said in a mischievous way. 

Yuri woke up, drenched in sweat. It was Jason who had come to see him. 

"Wanna see your darling?," he asked. 

Yuri nodded.

Then some men blindfolded Yuri when Jason ordered them to. 



Yuri's blindfold was taken off. He was in the middle of a road. His mouth was still gagged but he started to say something so it was taken off. 

"Where is she?! She's not here!," Yuri shouted. 

"What's the hurry? She's right there!," Jason said, as he pointed behind Yuri.

Yuri turned around and saw a woman who was blindfolded and was gagged. She was made to sit on her knees, the same way Yuri was sitting, too. Her hands were tied behind her back just like Yuri's were. 

Her blindfold and gag were taken off. 

"Yuri!," Cara shouted as Yuri came into view. 

"Cara! Oh my God! I'm glad you're safe!," Yuri shouted. 

"Shut up, you two! I'm the one who's gonna talk here!," Jason interrupted. 

"First thing's first! Who do you love, Cara?," Jason asked. 

"Yuri! I love Yuri!," Cara answered. 

"Fine! But you're married to me. Don't you know it's a sin to cheat on your husband, you church going woman?!," Jason said. 

"But it's bullshit! You can't just force me to marry you!," Cara said. 

"Shut up, Cara! Shithead, you tell me! You love her. Right?," Jason asked. 

"Yes! What about it?," Yuri said. 

"Then die for her!," Jason said.

"What?!," Yuri asked, shocked. 

"If you love her, then you should die for her! But if you won't, then that means you don't love her!," Jason said. 

"See, Cara? Nobody loves you at all! Not me! Not Yuri!," Jason said, making eye contact with Cara. 

"It's fine. I didn't even ask anybody to love me in the first place!," Cara said. 

"Cara, don't say that!," Yuri said. 

"Shut up!," Jason said to Yuri. 

"You're mine, Cara! And this idiot has to die now! And it's all because of you!," Jason said. 

Then he cocked his gun at Yuri's forehead and was about to pull the trigger when a bullet came flying at him and went into his forehead. He started bleeding and lost consciousness. He fell to the ground and his forehead bled continually. 

And then came into sight the man who had shot Jason Pratt. Yuri and Cara couldn't believe their eyes. It was Shane Kole!

"Shane?!," Cara asked, shocked. 

"Untie them!," Shane ordered his men. 

They untied them and took them away. 

Jason's men were cowards and fled when they saw that their boss had died. 

As for Jason's body, Shane's men threw it away as Shane had ordered them to because he knew nobody cared about a dead man's corpse. 



Two weeks later, they were gathered at  Cara's apartment for a dinner. Cara was glad to host a dinner for her brother and lover. 


"Pass me the pepper, Yuri," Shane said. 

"Here you go," Yuri said, passing the pepper to him. 


Yuri and Cara had gotten Shane's blessing for their marriage. She couldn't believe it when Yuri boldly told Shane that he wanted to marry his sister. 


Now it seemed like it was a good thing that Cara did play with fire because she got the one she loved.
