Ginny’s Pov “He… He told me I need to silence everyone who knows. All the servants. He said it’s the only way to cover it up.” I clutched my chest, “I didn’t agree! I said I couldn’t do it, I can’t do it! But he said… He said it was either that or wait for them to turn against me. I… I don’t know what to do anymore. What am I going to do, Dad? What am I supposed to do?!” Howard let out a heavy, guttural sigh. Then, SLAM! His fists crashed down onto the glass table, rattling everything on top, “You absolute idiot!” He roared, “You stupid, naive girl!” I flinched hard, choking on my own breath. “You’re telling me,” He growled, pointing a shaking finger at me, “That you discussed silencing people, killing people, in front of the same servants you want to silence?! Are you out of your mind?!” “I… He tricked me!” I cried, “He said it on purpose. He was manipulating me, he made it sound like it was the only way! And I… I was panicking, I couldn’t think.” “You let fear destr
Ginny's Pov The second Kevin walked away, it was as though the world lost its oxygen because I could not breathe, my knees gave out immediately and I crumpled to the ground, hard, but I didn’t feel it. My palms dug into the dirt, trying to find something to hold to but the panic was already spreading through my body. My breaths came in sharp, broken gasps, my chest heaving so violently it felt like my ribs would break into pieces. Kevin knew everything that was happened and worse he had said it out loud, in front of everyone. “Silence them all…” His words echoed in my head like a death sentence. “No, no, no…” I whispered, my voice hoarse, almost inaudible, as tears spilled freely down my face, blurring my vision, my head ached in all places and I could barely see, I could barely talk. I tried to call out for someone, anyone, but when I looked up, the yard was empty. The servants had already vanished like rats from a sinking ship. Not even one of them had stayed to help me. Of cou
Kevin's Pov “S… Silence them all?!” Ginny exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock, “Are you insane? You want me to…” She stopped yelling as her voice turned into nothing but a whisper, “You want me to kill them all?” I shrugged, “It's none of my business if you want the people who know your secret to stay alive. If that maid that you have chosen to go to jail for you decides to implore everyone to help her take revenge, what will you do? It's their testimony against yours. Also, once the police start investigating, it's only a matter of time before they find out the truth. So it's best for you to silence them all, including that maid.” I turned my gaze towards the servant still sobbing on the ground. The rest of them had also started backing away the moment I mentioned silencing them. Ginny's mind might not be fully here to realise that I was intentionally saying this in front of everyone so that they would and could hear what we were planning against them. That way, the game would
Kevin's Pov I didn’t blink, “Yes.” She stared at me like I’d just confessed to murder. I continued, my voice calm, composed, and dead serious. “You’re going to give my mother the funeral she deserves. Not some half-assed donation to a charity or whatever stunt that you had in mind. A proper burial, white roses, gold casket, everything. I want her treated like royalty, because you were the one who killed her, Ginny, not some maid.” Ginny looked like she wanted to scream. But I wasn’t done. “And after that…” I said, my tone dropping and my lips pulling into a smirk, “You’re going to pay me.” Her jaw dropped. “I want money, Ginny. A huge sum. Enough to bury your little secrets deep where no one will ever find them. And if you try to wriggle out of it, if you so much as breathe the wrong way about this… I swear to God, I’ll make sure everyone from your precious professors to the board of directors sees what you really are.” “You’re insane!” She spat. “No.” I said, stepping close
Kevin's Pov I followed her right after she went out of the venue that day to confront her about what the hell she did back in there and why she embarrassed me in front of everyone but instead, I saw her take away the credit card that she gave to Ginny in a way that even Ginny wouldn't be able to resist. It was a shocker because the Rhea I knew would have never done that. She loved Ginny like her own life. I thought it was only a matter of time before Rhea gave Ginny back the credit card and even more. But instead, Rhea became completely different. She stopped following me around and even said she didn't like me anymore. I didn't believe it, she was definitely playing hard to get. My thoughts were proved when Rhea agreed to come to the club with Ginny and I. Even when Ginny told me that Rhea was the one that I slept with, I completely believed it, I thought I finally had her. But no! It was Ginny. Ginny was the one who threw herself at my bed but I didn't care either way. Ginny was
Kevin's Pov “I did it… I was the one who pushed your mother. It… it was an accident, I really didn't mean to do that. I didn't.” The girl sobbed, her eyes red and bloodshot. I stood still, not knowing what to do or even say until Ginny suddenly slapped her, her face morphing into a disappointed look. “I treated you with care and love and yet you did something like this?! How could you?!” She yelled, her body shaking, “If you had told the truth from the beginning, maybe I would have helped you but you chose to frame me for it so you have to face the consequences. Someone, call the police.” She instructed and at first, no one did as she asked. “Can't you hear me?! Do you all want to lose your jobs?!” She practically screamed which made a male servant whip out a phone to call the police. After he had done so, Ginny turned to me, pity in her gaze. “K… Kevin. I'm so sorry, I promise that the person who killed your mom would get their punishment. I'll make sure of that.” Ginny reached
