The Devil's Wedding Ring Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Nine
Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Nine "Find me Jeff's address, I need to see him.""Jeff?" Daniel squeaked over the line, the panic in his voice escalating. "Valerie, did you not hear a word I just said? The police are looking for you, Darren is practically salivating to lock you up, and Jeff is suspended! He's off the grid!""Just find his address! And if you knew Jeff was suspended, why didn't you tell me?""You didn't tell me you were going to the station," Daniel countered, his voice defensive and panicked. "You told me you were going to see Caleb!"Oh fuck! How did all of this go from 0 to 100 so fast? Fuck! Were they baiting me? What was all this?! Was the entire city turning into a giant snare, and I had just walked right into the middle of it?"I've found his address," Daniel said, cutting through my spiraling thoughts as the phone vibrated, signaling the incoming text.I pressed my accelerator, raising my speed as I swerved, heading towards Jeff's house. The tires squealed, f

I sat there all day. I didn't say a word. I couldn't even speak, the memories flashed before me in blinding, agonizing bursts. Her laughter, her smile, how could anyone think of killing her?The way we both played around, the way we always slept together. I would always wake up and she would be lying right there, watching me carefully, before she would reach out and gently stroke my hair.How could she be a lie to the very end? Right from the moment we met when I was only six years old, how could she show me all her gruesome side, a life so deeply tainted with horror and sweetener that I had a fair share of those two.And then she died.I know I wished her dead. I know there was nothing I wanted more in the world than for her to die because of what she did to me, but not like this. I didn't wish for her to die like this. Who said she could die? Who told her that she could die without my permission! I haven't even forgiven her for betraying me! I haven't even listened to what she had

The room seemed to tilt slightly, the chaotic noise of the precinct suddenly fading into a distant buzz. "What do you mean forced off duty? Why?!"The officer glanced around nervously, lowering her voice as she took a step closer to me. "Internal Affairs cleared out his desk two days ago. They said it was a disciplinary issue regarding an unauthorized investigation, but everyone here knows the truth. Someone high up made a phone call, and Jeff was sidelined before he could pull the trigger on a major warrant. He's completely locked out of the system, Miss."The ground felt like it was dissolving beneath my boots. Cillian and Sterling, those two has done it yet again, or maybe it's not even them this time, maybe it's Montgomery or those big men involved. Did they get tired of playing fetch with me? They had systematically dismantled the only shield I had left in the department. What did Jeff find this time to make them take him off? "Where is he now?" I pressed, my breath hitching

"Val, we have a lot to talk about, just have a seat."I watched out for him for more than a moment, my eyes scanning the heavy shadows behind him, looking for any sign of an ambush. My heart hammered against my healing ribs, a sharp reminder of what happens when I let my guard down.But Caleb didn't move. He just stood there under the flickering yellow bulb, looking entirely defeated, carrying a weight that seemed to age him by ten years.Realizing I wouldn't get answers standing on the defensive, I chose to sink my butt into a rusted metal folding chair a few feet away. I winced slightly as the motion pulled at my tightly wrapped bandages, but I kept my eyes locked on his."I'm sitting," I said, my voice tight. "Now start talking, Caleb. No more riddles. No more dodging my calls. What is going on?"Caleb dragged another chair over, sitting heavily across from me. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his hands clasped so tightly his knuckles turned white."You think C

"Val...""Daniel, don't... stop making it so hard for me because you heard what he said! Why are you so bent—""It's okay..." he cut in immediately, his voice dropping into a quiet, defeated tone. "I'm sorry for bringing this up now. I just... I just wish you could stop him. I wish you could stop him from killing himself."A cold, bitter laugh ripped from my throat before I could stop it. "He should do me the honor of actually watching him die. I gladly want to watch him die. Taking his own life? He should tell me the location so I'd come over and film such a beautiful moment. I would love to watch it forever."I didn't wait to see the expression on Daniel's face. I turned around and walked out on him, my chest heaving as I panted heavily. I didn't stop moving until I was safely secured inside of my room with the door shut tightly against the rest of the world.I sat on the edge of the bed, seething, my mind spinning as I thought about all that I had lost in the twinkle of an eye bec

"Cillian, where the fuck is he!!!" I kept on yelling, my voice cracking under the strain as Daniel rushed forward and grabbed onto me, trying to keep me steady."Calm down," Daniel pleaded, his grip firm but careful around my bruised arms. "Valerie, please, you need to rest.""I should calm down?!" I was still wriggling, trying to tear myself out of his hold, when I froze.From the other end of the hall, Cillian emerged. He walked with that same slow, agonizingly calm stride, completely untouched, adjusting the cuffs of his shirt as if he hadn't just watched me get broken in a concrete basement. I knew it. I remembered everything. I remembered him standing over me, and I remembered his hand striking my neck, knocking me unconscious. What on earth did he cook up with Sterling after I went under?Fuelled by raw, blinding fury, I ripped myself away from Daniel and ran toward him. My fractured ribs screamed in protest, but I ignored the agony, stopping right in front of him and blocking

Sarah gasped, her hands flying to her throat. "You didn't mean that..." she started to say, while I interrupted her."I spilled those words out like they were nothing," I continued, my voice eerily calm. "And the universe listened. He obeyed me. He came back in a box because I told him to. My paren

"I'm okay," I pitched in immediately, my voice cutting through the heavy silence that usually followed the Thorne name. "Thank you for the other day."Sterling Thorne shrugged, "It’s no big deal. I noticed you were in so much trouble. If someone didn&rsquo

"So that was your plan? You got so jealous of your brother as an illegitimate, dirty child of your father that you couldn't bear not having what he had? You couldn't resist him having me?" I let a harsh, jagged laugh escape my throat, the sound echoing in the confined space of the car. "You sound m

"Perfect!" Cillian exclaimed, his voice ringing with a synthetic joy that grated against my nerves. He walked toward the dress, his uninjured hand reaching out to stroke the heavy silk of the skirt. "She will look really pretty in it, don't you think?"He turned his gaze toward Jane, his eyes narro
