Jacob's POV.....

As soon as I entered Agustin's cabin I saw the flower vase shattered into pieces near the door.

Agustin was standing a few feets away.

His eyes where blood shoot, a growl was evident on his face, hands tightly fisted at his sides, his stance was rigid as if ready to attack anytime.

I know that look. He is angry very, very angry.

So, he knows, I concluded. As if to confirm my theory he spoke.

"You son of a bitch, you helped her escape..."he seethed at me in rage. But what he said next came like a blow.

" You love her, don't you?......don't you dare deny, you motherfucker." He said his voice dripping with rage, chest heaving as if it's causing him lots of efforts to keep his breathing even.

"Took you too long to find out. That's slow for your standards. I guess you are loosing your touch. Tell me Agustin what are you going to do, now that you know I helped your little bird escape her golden cage." I mocked him but before I can comprehend anything the next thing I know his fist directly landed on my nose with such a force I am sure it must be broken.

"You motherfucking bastard. I will not spare you, you traitor...you dare lay your eyes on my wife you shameless low life pig." Saying that he threw another punch at me making me taste blood.

He grabbed me by my collar and looked at me with disgust.

"That was some nice punch but I guess you can do better, let's try again. Common hit me. " He was taken aback looking at me as if I have lost my mind.

"Common Agustin....That is what you do best. Whenever things doesn't go your way start hiting people around you who the fuck cares even if its a woman- sorry I mean your own wife." I taunted.

"Was it the same way you used to hit her...oops sorry I guess you preferred your belt, right? Must be painful like a bitch, For your sweet little fragile wife whom you love so much, you can't imagine someone laying an eye on her when all you did was torture her to death. I am sure you used your power to the fullest to beat a helpless women...tell me Agustin did you enjoy it? Was it worth it?" His hands loosed from my collar and fell to his sides. His features was that of pure agony as if I have ripped his heart out, without me even touching him.

For a moment I could see guilt shadowing his features but he immediately masked it and fisted his hands. But remained rooted to his place.

"Yes, I do love her-" I didn't deny. " And I did help her escape" His eyes darkened as soon as I said the world love, I could see his neck veins bulging out.

"You are one pathetic bastard. You know what you have got yourself into by admitting that. You will regret being born, you will be left with absolutely nothing. You have no idea who you have messed with." He gritted out.

" I regret nothing and never will. You are the only one who will regret your whole pathetic existence and will be left with nothing at the end, absolutely nothing."I said to put some light on his delusional self.

"You ungrateful piece of shit. I made you who you are today and you dare stand here and say that you love my wife. This is how you repay, you motherfucking traitor." He roared in rage.

I let out a humorless laugh" how can I forget that, that is the only reason three life's are destroyed today. That is the only reason I gave up Onika for you, You know why? because I was in debt to you. But the debt is long paid Agustin.

It was paid the moment I took a step back so that you can have a chance at your happiness with Onika, it was paid when I died a million times seeing her being someone else's infront of my own eyes and put a smile on my face which cost me more then your debt ever will.

The only regret I have is that, Onika also had to pay for my debt to you, she shouldn't have been the one paying. It should be me all alone. She needs to stop paying for my debt, Agustin.

And you know who is the one being ungrateful here? It's you. Uh ha it's you Agustin. Look at your pathetic self you have lost everything because of your stupidity and you know what's even more pathetic you don't even realise it.

The one who owe me is you. You owe me for saving Onika's life." He gave me a look of utter disbelief when I said that.

"Don't you claim that she is your life and everything, you can't live without her and all. Then shouldn't you be thankful that I saved her from your. Before you killed her. You where so engrossed in your sadistic pleasure and revenge that you didn't even realize you where killing her everyday bit by bit. If not for me she would have been long dead." I stated as a matter of fact.

He just stood in his place as if someone has just paralyzed him.

He didn't argued back for the first time in his life as if speechless. I can say he agrees with me...but he won't ever admit that. The day he let go of his arrogance, half of his problems will all ready be solved.

" Countless times I told you not to do this. You need to work on your misunderstandings. Someone throws some fake photos on you and you believe it? Didn't you know her at all? Let's suppose even if she did cheat on you. You are no one to abuse her. You had no right to do so. I thought that you will come to your senses soon, I mean you can't see someone you love in pain let alone be the one who impose that pain on her. Isn't that how love is supposed to work?

But the day I witnessed how you tortured her like an animal was the day I concluded, you are too far gone in your madness, what you did was unforgivable and you were past understanding anything, no matter how hard I try.

I had to do something.

My intension was never of snatching her away from you or I would have done it even before you could have married her. The only thing I was doing was saving her life. So I offered her help through John. At first she declined saying that Agustin will find out the truth and then he will get into trouble but then something happened one day and she asked for help. She was desperate to get away.

I will tell you her exact words to John.

'if I stay here a moment longer nothing will be left of me..please help me get out of here before I die.'

It was not like I didn't know that you will find her sooner or later. I just ensured that you find her only after you know the truth and have realized your mistake and learned your lesson.

Then she was careless enough to have her photo printed on the front page of a magazine.

The only thing that held me back from doing anything was because I saw you in pathetic situation day and night. Drowning in regret and guilt. I thought you realised your mistake.

I thought now that you know what you had lost you will cherish her forever. Make up for your mistakes

But oh dear lord was I wrong. You. Are. A. Sick. Bastard Who. Is. To. Arrogant. To. Realise. Anything." I pronounced each and everyone word painfully slow so that he let it sink in his think brain.

"You remember that day Agustin? Someone tried to rape her, hit her, bruise her. And she was so scared she came crying to you because she thought you are her safe haven.

Of all the people in the world it was you she seek comfort from.

You should have been the one there for her at such vulnerable phase of her life.

Because she was the one to trust you with her heart even after going through so much loss in her life. She lowered her guards down and let you entre in her heart and gave it to you. You should have been the one to trust her even if no one else did.

You should have been the one to tell her that everything will be all right, that you will make everything alright.

You think you can come back to her life and demand her and order around to live with you like nothing happened? You think she could get past something like that?

You claim to love her? Sorry, but I don't understand what kind of love is that. You first took her as a challenge then as your possession. I doubt that you ever actually loved her."

Agustin was standing as still as statue, carved of stone. Lifeless.

The Agustin I saw few minutes before was gone to be replaced by a broken one, but I know it won't take him long before he revert back to his usual self.

"I made a mistake...But I love her. Sh..she lo..loves me.I know she does" He said, almost to console himself.

"She doesn't love you..." Before I can complete he cut me off in a haste

"She does, you know nothing about her. She loves just me and won't love anyone else other than me, ever ... She will forgive me one day I know she will"

"Oh yeah sure she does." I said with sarcasm laced in my tone." Whatever floats your boat. I don't give a damn about your delusional self. But it would be better for you if you already accept that you have lost her. Take my advice and Instead of soiling her life you better let her go."

"Let her go for whom? You? That's not happening. She is mine. you better back off Jacob. If you think you can get her by taking her away from me then you are hell wrong. If you know what's good for you, you better stay away from her." He said with finality, challenging me to say otherwise.

"Why would I do that? I don't take orders from you, anymore.". I said with a chuckle.

"You are asking for it. Aren't you? You are asking for a fight."

"Now, now, now there is no fun in taking something as precious as Onika away from you without a fight. Now is there?" I provoked him.

"Warning someone is not my type I simply destroy but considering that not long ago we were friends. I am warning you one last time, back off Or you won't like the consequences."

"Do your worst Agustin Deluca I don't give a damn." I said.

"Oh you will when I am done with you. That's my promise"

" On the contrary, I promise you Agustin when all this is over you will come to regret every action of yours and will be the one to say sorry for each and every thing you have ever done." I deadpanned.

" I accept your challenge. No one knows me better than you Jacob, I am never the one who loose." He said with confidence.

"There is always a first time for everything, let's start with this one."
