Chapter 187: I Will Stay Away From Her Riccardo

If the street hadn't been so quiet, I wouldn't have heard the pained grunt coming from the alleyway. My first thought was to ignore it, but I knew if it had been Angelia, I would want someone to check and make sure she was okay. The alley was dark, but I could make out a boy cowering against the bricked wall with his head bent, holding one hand against his ribs. He looked up when I got close enough to see his face, my jaw ticked as I saw it was Ben.

The anger I had felt since Andy called came rushing back, but a wave of horror swept in as I scanned him. I hardly remember his ugly face, which was even uglier now. The left side was almost caved in, and his eyes were swollen. He was bleeding heavily, and I couldn't discern where it came from, the deep wound just below the temple of his nose, which looked broken. Shit, his entire body looked broken. He was barely able to stand, only managing it with desperation and the aid of the wall. From how he stiffened, I guessed he knew who I was, probably from the day I had dropped Angelia off at work.

I didn't feel satisfaction as took in his crumbled form. Instead, I felt disgusted because whoever had done this to him was a deprived motherfucker, I had come here today to beat the shit out of him, but whoever had gotten here before me had set out to kill this guy. "Please, no more." He whispered, trying to hold a hand up in self-defense, but it didn't get far before it fell back to support his ribs again.

"I promise I will stay away from her. She w..won't ever see me again."

Stay away from whom? I wondered, guessing that he had gone after another girl, one who was a man with no morals at all. Unless...could Kingston have heard about what Ben had done to Angelia? No, even Kingston wouldn't have gone this far, I hoped. I strolled closer, keeping a menacing look on my face.

'It seems someone beat me to the punch." I chuckled darkly, even as my stomach clenched in revolt at the sight of him.
