Chapter 117 Sebastian’s point of view I was about ten minutes into my drive back home when my phone started to ring out. It was Donna, I’m guessing she wanted updates on how today went with Ryan. I picked the call only after connecting it to the car’s Bluetooth so I could talk to her while I keep focus on my driving. “How’d it go?” Was the first sentence she’d utter to me, layered in both curiosity mixed with enthusiasm. “Whatever happened to hello, hi, how are you. Whatever happened to formality at least,” I jabbed at her in sarcasm. “I’m doing fine if you care to ask by the way, and-““I don’t care to ask, I care about how it went with Ryan. Has he forgiven you? Did you get him the flowers like we planned? Were you able to take him on the picnic date? What about the movie date? And the lake sight? Where are you? Is he with you?” She bombarded, “Good lord, Donna. Calm the fuck down!” I blew out a tired groan. “Answer my questions!” “Your plan worked, we’re good now. Does tha
Chapter 116Sebastian’s point of view “Now that I’ve learnt all that there is needed to learn from you. How do you wish to die? My reward for you is that you get to pick?” I said to him. After he’s offloaded the secret he couldn’t prioritize over his life. “You could pick a slow painful death, or a quick one. A knife to your throat, or a bullet straight to your hearts. For me to cut off your body parts little by little or inject you with-“ I paused my talking as soon as the idea crossed my head. I glanced over at him, for someone whose death has just been announced, he seems rather indifferent about it. “Aren’t you going to beg for your life? I was planning to reconsider.” I squinted my gaze at him, wary. I could say he has accepted his fate, but wasn’t he desperate to prevent me from torturing him minutes ago. And now he was just ready to die? That’s no fun at all. “You’re a sick man. You and I both know you won’t be letting me out of here alive. So since I get to choose the w
Chapter 115Ryan’s point of view We’ve arrived home, and it looks like our home is where our guest has decided to seek residence. Both Uncle Lewis and Jayce have been settled in different rooms. Selena wanted a room close to my chamber because to her, being closer to me means getting to protect me herself. I’m just glad she’s finally out of the shadow. She’s always had to live by herself for the better part of her growing up, no friends, homeschooled, literally always alone. But finally, she’s been put in a family and a place to belong to. I’m her brother and she’s my sister, I’ve always been and will always be. Since I’ve acquired some alone time, I decided to use it and talk to Seb. To find out what he’s been up to and to know whatever he’s doing at the moment. I had just gotten comfortable on my bed when a knock banged on my door. Annoyance rushed into my expression as I sat up. The door then pushed open before I could authorize the invitation and Vee’s mean face popped into
Chapter 114Ryan’s point of view By the time I arrived back at my uncle’s ward, he’s been packed up and ready to move out of the hospital. That was when it hit me, I haven’t asked about my Aunt Marie since I arrived. Isn’t she also awake? Is anybody even with her? I quietly turned around and made my way over to her own ward which was only few steps away from the room Uncle Jayce was admitted to. To my surprise, her room has been cleared out, not a single of her presence was in sight. Is she gone? Did she check herself out without anybody’s knowledge? I exited the room and went back to my family who were already at the hospital’s lobby, finalizing their check out. The bill has always been handled by me beforehand, so they wouldn’t have to worry about that. When I got to them, I pulled Vee away from my mother so I could ask her about our aunt. “Where is Aunt Marie? Is she gone?” I asked silently, once I’ve pulled us away to a corner. “She’s a mother, Ryan. What do you think she’
Chapter 113Sebastian’s point of view “This is not my first time working for Lewis. Him and I have gone way back, and all he did was have a job for me. He wanted me to find a way to separate you and his nephew, he said however way I can that I simply needed to get the job done. So I thought I’d dig into you and Ryan, this is how I found out that you weren’t exactly who the world thinks you are, and the same with Ryan’s family. You’re a murderer, and Ryan’s family are enablers. Ryan’s sister committed a murder and they helped her get away with it. There was no justice for that innocent man, and that fueled my passion for this job. I purposely decided to operate through the identity of the dead man who was wronged, Matthew Simmons. I thought to myself that I was avenging him. Lewis Growan then suggested to me that whatever threats I was planning to send out to you both should have a little bit of scare or action, something that has the both of realizing that this is not a joke. I had
