Onika's POV.....

"Have you lost your fucking mind?!" I shouted at him incredulously.

He just rolled his eyes at me and said."let me first explain how this works, before you jump at any conclusion."

Then he looked thoughtfully at me before saying"I always used to think how you and Agustin get alone seeing nothing in common between you two but there there finally I found something, you both are too impatient and impulsive for your own good." He said mockingly.

Say what! " I and Agustin have nothing in common and we so not get along, so only I am sitting here with you and reviewing my escape routes. So don't you ever I mean ever compare me with Agustin." I said through gritted teeth and glared at him, hard.

His lips were twitching as in controlling himself not to throw into a fit of laughter but nonetheless he raised his hands in surrender.

"Now can you explain yourself? What makes you think that I will accept Agustin back? There is no way in hell I am gonna do that."

He looked at me carefully and said "I am not saying you to accept him back just act like it...pretend..make him believe that you have accepted your fate and are ready to give him a chance."

I gave him a 'are you crazy look' but before I can say anything he gestured me not to."let me complete Onika. Safeguarding Alex from his claw is our main aim as of now as he is the only weapon Agustin can use against you. He will be forced to divorce you after 3 months on your demand as he had already signed the papers. I want you to gain his confidence and take his signature on legal papers stating that he is giving up all his rights on Alex."

I looked at him disbelieving "Jacob, do you understand wh...what you are talking about? This is crazy and not to mention way to dangerous. We can file a case against him in court and fight for Alex's custody. I..I can arrange some money and a lawyer. The court will surely consider Alex's best interest and wishes as well, won't they?" I asked him urgently.

He let out a heavy sigh and said." Its not about the money or lawyer Onika. I can hire you the best lawyers and you don't need to worry about the money but what I am afraid about is, you don't stand a chance in court.

Wishes of a child is important, yes but only if old enough to capably express reasonable preference. Alex is merely three years old. If you are proved incompetent Alex's preference will mean nothing... I am sorry to say but you will lose the case before you can blink... everything is in Agustin's favour..he had played his cards well." He said grudgingly.

"Think about it. Once you get divorced with Alex's custody, Agustin can't do a thing.... And only you can do this Onika. Agustin is too clever to be fooled by anyone, its only infront of you he let his guards down, it's only you around whomever he can't think clear and loose his senses. Just distract his mind from reading the papers and take his signature."

I looked at him in panic." Jacob I cannot do this. Please...there has to be some other way..I..I can't do this. He will see right through my act. Do you realise what will happen if he comes to know? Oh god I don't even want to think about it..."

Jacob clutched his hair in frustration "Onika, stop fearing him so much..."

"Stop fearing him! Stop fearing him! Do you realise if he comes to know we all will be six feet under before we can utter the word sorry. I can't do this... Oh god this is wrong.." I could already feel my eyes welling up with tears and the bile rising in my throat just by thinking of the consequences.

Jacob's eyes softened ever so slightly and he took my hand in his hand and rubbed it soothingly "relax Onika you need to stop fearing him so much if you want this to work and You think you can rightfully fight Agustin... then you are delusional. You can't be a saint and fight someone like him. Let him have a taste of his own medicine..."

Then he paused and asked me in a challenging tone" Or are you afraid, afraid to get close to him?" His tone heavy with disapproval.

"What? No, of course not!"

"Then do it, do it for Alex... Nothing is more important than him, right?"

I nodded my head without hesitation. Alex. He is everything.

"Look Onika..I will not force you to do this if you don't want to, okay? But it's only you who stand a chance against him. But if you don't want to do it..then we will think of some other way."

I closed my eyes, he is right, Alex is everything that matters. I have pushed him into this mess, I need to do it. "Okay, I will do it...." I said with finality.

Jacob looked at me sympathetically" Are you sure about it? Because once you are in you can't back off."

For Alex, I reminded myself and said " yes I am sure..but I have no idea how to do it."

"Now legal work I will take care off....what you have to do is take his signature and you need to be very very careful about that.

He is very sharp. You need to gain his trust first and then wait for the right time and fire.

Normally he is very careful before signing any papers, he always read the papers carefully before signing it. So you need to distract him first..."

I looked at him suspiciously with narrowed eyes. What does he mean by distract him first. As if he understood the look of confusion and said..

"Put stop to your dirty thoughts I am not telling you to seduce him if that is what you are thinking. Just ask him out on a date is enough distraction for him to sign his own death certificate.

If you go seducing him, signing some papers will be the last thing he do, so don't distract him so much so that he forgets how to sign. Just be confidant in your moves and don't go trembling to him or else he will know.

"I..I wasn't thinking anything such." I said innocently.

"Liar liar pants on fire."he muttered under his breath but I heard it loud and clear and clicked my tongue at him like a three yr old child. I have learned the habit from alex he always does that.

"Okay, Onika I am saying this once again....you need to be slow and gradual or else he will get suspicious... don't act like a good wife all of a sudden or else he will know we are cooking something. He is too intelligent for his own good.

Make him believe that now you realise there is no way out for you and you are accepting you fate, slowly. But don't change all of a sudden to a loving wife."

I nodded my head in agreement.

While from inside I feel like I am dead girl walking. My hands have already started shivering. God, please, please help me to pull through this, successfully.

If this plan goes wrong I know I will have to pay for it I just wonder how heavy the price would be.A sickening knife's edge dig deep into my gut just by thinking about it. But this is the time I do something instead of waiting for some miracle to happen and for Agustin to realise his mistake. I have already waited too long.

I looked up at Jacob. His brows furrowed. As if in deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Just tried to anticipate Agustin's next move against me."

*********
Agustin's POV........

"Do you, Agustin De Luca,
Take, Onika Coulin,
To be your wife;
To have and to hold,
From this day forward,
For better, for worse,
For richer, for poorer,
In sickness and in health,
To love and to cherish,
Till death do you part."

" I DO." I said without hesitation, my voice laced with determination, Looking directly into the beauty eyes of the woman I claimed to adore above everything. She was looking at me with so much love, her eyes wet with tears of happiness and hope, hope that from this day forward she will be loved and cherished.

Believe me sweetie after I am done with you death will be a luxury....

I wish I could go back in time and revert back the day i met you.

I used to think that it was the luckiest day of my life but, now it feels as if it was rage of angels falling on me all at once when you led your eyes on me.....

she was so scared she came crying to you because she thought you were her safe haven.......

You should have been the one to trust her even if no one else did......

You think she could get past something like that?....

I loved you so much and I would have preferred dying a thousand times than hear those words coming out of you mouth. You were my everything.

I am ready to take Xavier's torture a thousand times more if that means I can undo yours.......

If you continue like this one day she will leave you for good and there will be nothing you can do to stop her......

I deserve better than you. If I ever love again I assure you it will never be you.....

You want me to believe that you will never treat me that way. How do I believe you Agustin what have changed?......

Loving is not everything, Agustin, at least not when the love becomes a rope around your neck, tightning with each breath you take, suffocating you.......

I hate you.....

I hate you.....

I hate you.....

I gasped and jolted my head from the wall on which it was resting, cold sweat beads rolled down from my forehead as the world's reverberated in my head.

I feel completely disoriented. I don't know for how long I have been passed out at this corner of some filthy pub. I think I drank too much.

My head is throbbing like a drum. I took deep breaths for a few minutes to even my breathing and heart beat.

I checked the time. It's four hours since I left ..... All I could think is about her, her tear strained face....

It hurts too damn much to know that I am the reason behind it.
What should I do? How long can I see her like this. I would eventually have to let her go..I can't see her like this hurting all the time.

I was wrong to think that time will heal everything...it's just getting worse with time and now I am no more sure that it will ever get better. For how long will I keep her forcedly with me?

But I don't know how to give up on the only lifeline you have. How to give up the only thing that matters. How to give up your everything...Just thinking about it makes me feel....dead.

That is what I will be without her.

Dead.

Just the thought of not getting to see her again makes my stomach churn.

But may be it will still be better than see her dying everyday.

Maybe this is the time I should finally let her go. I tried to ignore my aching heart, threatening to explode with pain at the mere thought of it.

**************

Hello everyone.

Yep, I know it's completely fucked up...if Agustin would have decided that a little earlier thing would have turned out differently but now.....well let us find out.
