RhysâAlmighty Rhys Madigan, pleading for mercy? Who would have thought?â Cory said, mocking me and chuckling.âCome on Rhys, we both know who is the stronger of usâ Vincent added.âYou guys don't even deserve mercy. You're nothing but bad newsâ he sneered.âListen...â I warned them âI am willing to surrender, you can't hurt me or she, you know thatâ I motioned to Tessa.Vincent started laughing. âOh please,â he scoffed âlike anyone would ever trust her over youââLet Tessa go, you want me right? Let her live pleaseâ A smile crept up in Coryâs expression âYou really wanna save this whore?â she asked rhetorically. âThat's very charming considering that you didn't find it difficult to kill three people without remorseâ âWhat do you mean?â She snorted âdon't play dumb with me boy. You killed my parents and my little sister, remember you got into an accident and you fled, left the scene, left us to die! My parents died because of you, my little sister died because of you!â she screamed
Rhys âWhat are you doing?â I asked Blair.âCalling for backup, do you think a single gun would save you from your brother? If you did, then you don't know the kind of brother you have. He's dangerousâ âI don't need your help. I'm in control, and you're the problem.âBlair laughed.âYou're a fool Rhys⊠they are watching you! better make use of this chance and let me do what I know how to do.I swallowed her insults like bitter lemon drops. âWhere is she?ââAt an abandoned warehouse out of townâ, Blair said as if we'd been discussing the weather.Speaking of the weather, it had begun to rain. A light mist that made it impossible to see anything beyond thirty feet or so, but enough to make me feel uneasy.It also meant that I couldn't see anything outside of the car. And I had to pull over into the parking lot before stepping out. It was a miracle Blair followed and the rain took longer than I expected.I watched as Blair dozed off beside me and a silly idea came into my mind.I gently
DarcyI was tired of fighting, my body was extremely weak, my throat dry from dehydration and the constant ringing in my ears made me almost blind. I felt completely lost and I couldnât understand why. What did these people want from me? Was this happening to me? Why were these people staring at me? Where did they come from? How had they taken me here? âI am thirstyâ I cried out for the hundredth time. âPleaseâ I begged again. âJust give me something to drink, anything at all. Pleaseâ. My voice cracked, and I was surprised I didnât feel any pain anymore. The silence only amplified the sound in my head. It was deafening. So quiet, so peaceful now. The ringing was gone.âThat's your punishment for pulling that stupid stuntâ One of them hissed. They looked angry. Yes, I had tried to escape again but I didn't even make it past the day.I got punched hard across the face, my head snapped to the left and back to the right, the ringing grew louder but not quite as painful as before, and I
Rhys When I drove down to Vincentâs house, I didn't know what to expect but I made sure I kept my gun closed.Someone whom I assumed was the nanny opened the door and she was holding a baby.For the first time in a long time, I paid attention to their son. He was a spitting image of Tessa... I mean Darcy. He had her eyes. Her beautiful, greyish blue, wide, soulful eyes. He looked just like her. And that terrified me for some reason.It also made sense why she had been fooling me the whole time. I would have probably done the same thing if I was her or done even worse.The nanny looked at me as if she was skeptical of my being there or something equally dumb and stupid because she didn't let me inside. âTell Vincent I am hereâ, I demanded. âHe's not hereâ she said. She wasn't rude by any means, she just seemed completely unimpressed with my presence at all.I wanted to tell her to fuck off, but my mouth wasn't cooperating. What a fucking mess.âWho is at the door?â I heard Vincent as
RhysâWhat do you want?â I typed and waited for a reply while I began to drive down to the police station.The car was silent on its way there, but the ride didn't last long since it soon became apparent that my phone was ringing. It was the sound of my cell phone ringing that alerted me to where I was. I stopped the car and reached for it.âWe said don't go to the police and you are parked in front of one? You really must think we are unserious right?â The voice said from the other line.I looked in the streets but everyone was going about with their business, there was no sign that I was being followed.How did they know where I was?âWhat do you want?â I yelled through the line as loud as possible just to make sure my message wasn't lost in the noise from the cars passing by.âYou already disobeyed us and now your darling wife would pay for itâ He sneered âDo not test our patienceâ âNo, no, noâ I heard Tessa scream from the background. I could only imagine her franticness and dang
DarcyâWhy? You are supposed to be his friend. Why would you do this to Rhys?â I asked the man in front of me. My hands were shaking from trying to break free and my body was trembling with rage. He stood staring at me.âYou see my dear, life is not always black and white. There are people who can love others, and those that do will be remembered for eternity. The difference between you and them is that you choose to stay with the light and I decided to go to darkness. That, or it takes too much effortâ His face was twisted in amused expression, as though he was watching a child trying to figure out their math homework. But he was serious about what he said.âRhys has always had things easy, he was always good at everything, he had the women, they loved him, and he loved them back.â He shook his head sadly âThe thing is, there is no such thing as perfect men, only ideal ones. And unfortunately, there isn't any such thing as perfection in this world, and there's nothing you can do to c
