Chapter 8

Autor: Johnny Fisher
Third-Person POV

Keith tried to scream for help, but someone knocked him out and threw him into the back of a cargo truck. The doors were locked. His head was swimming, and his body felt like it had been drugged.

"Sasha! Let me out! Where are you taking me? You can't do this!"

But Sasha locked the doors herself. She looked at the desperation in Keith's eyes and said only one thing, quietly, to no one but herself.

"Mom, I've settled your debt."

Rory's POV

    Rory's POVThe longer Sasha talked, the more uneasy I became."But Rory, I was willing. I know you hate me for what happened to Mom. Even a month ago, when you told me to put a knife in my own stomach, I did it."A week ago, you told me to jump off the building, and I didn't die. Someone got to me in time."Three days ago, you told me to drive into oncoming traffic. I still didn't die. Please don't be angry, Rory. I promise I'll get it right."My skin crawled. The words tore out of me before I could think. "Sasha! Are you out of your mind? That wasn't me! I've been in Sudeval this whole time!"The second she heard my voice, Sasha's eyes shifted, unfocused. "Rory, am I hearing things?"I grabbed her by the shoulders. "Sasha, you're sick. You need to see a doctor. Right now."But she threw her arms around me and held on like I'd disappear if she let go. Tears soaked through my shirt at the shoulder."Rory, you're finally talking to me again. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. What happene

I kept pushing through every break and every holiday. I was terrified of stopping, because every time I slowed down, the image of Mom's face right before she died would flood back in.Uncle Finn felt for me. He brought me into his company and walked me through the business from the ground up. After more than a dozen major deals, I could hold my

    Third-Person POVThat last line hit Sasha like a blade driven straight through her chest.She stared at the words, her mind gone blank and her whole body shaking. What did he mean by "killed"? Linda had just finished her surgery, and the doctors said that the treatment was going well just days ago.Keith was the one who'd been hurt when Linda hit him. So how could she be dead?Sasha stumbled out of the bedroom and into the living room, fumbling for her phone. She called Linda's attending physician, Paul Langdon."Dr. Langdon! My foster mom... She's still alive, right?"Paul's voice came back sharp and furious. "So now you remember she's your family? Three days ago, when she died, her son called you begging for help, and you told the nurses to attend to some other boy who had nothing wrong with him!"You wasted the window to save her. She died because of you!"How exactly do you plan to make up for all the trouble you've caused our hospital?"The truth peeled itself open in fro

    Third-Person POVSasha's hand hovered over the screen, frozen mid-tap. Slowly, her fingers began to shake, and she couldn't stop them.Rory never acted like this. No matter how bad their fights got, he'd always come around eventually, even if it took some crying and yelling first. This silence wasn't like him at all.Sasha panicked. She dialed 911, and the police promised to send someone out to look for him.She didn't trust them to handle it. She got in her car and tore through every place she could think of, anywhere Rory might go, before ending up at the house.When she finally pushed through the front door, what she found inside stopped her cold.She made it to the living room, but just barely. Her legs felt like dead weight. The furniture was untouched, but the family portrait that used to hang behind the TV had been ripped to shreds.Keith's face had been torn away separately. Rory's piece was set aside on its own, next to a photo of his parents.But Sasha's face had been

    Third-Person POVIn the hospital room, Sasha held a spoonful of soup up to Keith's mouth. She'd spent all day making it.He knocked the spoon away. His face twisted with frustration, more at himself than at her."Sash, it's been three days, and you still haven't gone to check on Rory. This is my fault. If I hadn't let you mess with him in the first place, none of this would've happened."He's my best friend. Mom treated us like her own kids, and you just stabbed them in the back. That wasn't right."Keith hung his head, eyes red. He had that kicked-dog look, all guilt and no spine.Normally, Sasha would've melted at the sight. But today, for reasons she couldn't pin down, all she felt was irritation.She glanced at the burn marks on her arm and thought back to their school days. She used to get into brawls with troublemakers outside school, standing up for people. The scars piled up until they became part of her, and eventually she stopped feeling them.But every time she came

    Rory's POVHow was she here?Before I could process it, Greta's hands were all over me, sliding from my face down to my neck and lower. Her eyes were completely unfocused. Panic tore through my voice."Greta! You could go to prison for this! My fiancee is Sasha Belmont!"Her expression twisted the second she heard the name. She backhanded me across both cheeks so hard that my eardrums nearly burst. Blood seeped from my ears, but she just smiled, unhinged."Rory, you're mine. What does Sasha even have that I don't? You still don't know, do you? Keith and Sasha were already all over each other in front of everyone!"I went still. My resistance stopped.So even the confession had been a lie. They hadn't come clean at all.When she felt me stop fighting, she went at my clothes with renewed frenzy. I fought back, and just when I was about to give up, Sasha kicked the door in with a group of bodyguards behind her.They pinned Greta down, but Sasha wasn't done. She grabbed a stiletto
