RALI

My jaw was practically glued to the floor as I stared at my screen for what felt like the millionth time.

I sat on the edge of the kitchen island, legs tucked under me. Veronica, halfway through stirring a pot of soup had frozen and leaned in with Ruby to read over my shoulder.

"Holy Shit. He truly sent it!" Veronica blinked like she was trying to reset her vision.

I shook my head. "I can't believe this."

When he offered to meet up an hour ago, I thought it was a joke. But now, he'd truly sent the location for the meeting. Fortunately, it was in a cafe, which made me feel a little relaxed.

But Void just easily agreed to meet up with me!

"Are you sure we got the right email?" I turned to Ruby. My nerves were frayed at the seams.

"Oh, don't be ridiculous. This was directly from Black Net. Trust me, no one in their right or wrong mind would dare impersonate him."

"He must be so eager to get people killed," Veronica muttered, and for some reason, the words clanged inside

    "You psychopathic monster!" My voice broke on the edges of fury and grief. "How dare you? How could you kill him?"He didn't flinch. Calmly like I was some TV noise, he reached for a new glass, pouring with steady hands. The faint slosh of wine taunted me.Fury burnt hotter in my chest. I tried to reach for the glass, but his rough hand closed around my wrist, bringing me to a stop.His eyes flickered with a cold fire. "You touch my glass again and I'll make sure you don't recognize your hands when I'm done with them."The door clicked open and closed behind us, the trio slipping out and leaving me trapped with the monster.Hot tears pricked my eyes, blurring the monster before me. When he finally released my wrist, the ghost of his grip still throbbed in my bones.He went back to his wine while I stood there, breaking apart."Who the fuck made you a judge, huh!?" I screamed in frustration. "What did Grayson actually do that was so different from what you've done to me? At least, he d

    The pliers hovered over his index finger. "This one looks proud. Doesn't it, Grayson? Always pointing. Always dishing out orders. Tell me, would this finger have been the first one you shoved inside her if you'd had the chance?"I didn't wait for an answer. The pliers clamped down, biting into the nail, and his whole body jerked. His throat ripped itself raw around a sound that wasn't even a scream, more like a dying animal's groan.I twisted until the finger fell off his hand.Veins bulged across his neck as he writhed in the chair, gasping out between curses. "Fuck! OH, FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK!?"The fear was there now, shining plain in his eyes. Somewhere inside him, I knew a voice was already whispering how 'serious' this was.While he whimpered, I turned back to the table where my collection lay in neat rows."You're sick, man," he said, like I hadn't worn that diagnosis into my skin a thousand times already."Are you seriously fighting for her? The girl doesn't even acknowledge you.

    VOIDConsciousness never comes gently. It drags.I watched the struggle ripple through him: fingers twitching first, then the shallow pull of breath against the gag of leather across his chest. His eyelids fluttered, fighting the weight of sedation.I didn't rush him. Half the fun is in the crawl. The slow realization and dread that seeps bone-deep before words ever enter the picture.I sat opposite him, one ankle lazily hooked over the other knee, cigar smoldering between my fingers while I let him wrestle his way back to awareness.His head lolled forward again, chin hitting his chest with a dull thud. Then, the chair creaked as his body twitched against the straps, his wrists instinctively jerking before the rope bit down harder.I watched as the haze began to clear from his face. His lashes fluttered, his lips parted like he was about to speak, but the only thing he managed was a wheeze.His eyes finally lifted. Thank fuck.I leaned back, letting the cigarette burn between my

    Fresh tears spilled over and I curled onto my side.Void froze just inches from my feet and I felt the frosty tension oozing from him, chilling every nerve it touched.Fear scrambled my mind into a blur. I shut my eyes tight and was dragged back to that nightmare: Grayson sedating me, him touching me while I laid weak and defenseless."He tried," I sniffled. "Drugged me and... and almost had his way, but Vlyrissa stepped in and saved me. He didn't succeed."Void was quiet and cold. I didn't want to imagine the thoughts running through his mind..I broke into more sobs at the realization that I'd just given Grayson away. Another life balanced on the edge because of me.No. Not Grayson Knightley. Not someone I'd known for this long.Grayson might've been an asshole, but he had a legacy. He's been hardworking. I'd hate to see him lose everything to death."He didn't touch me," I pleaded through the tears, my eyes wide open now. "He...He only attempted. It was a foolish mistake a—and he al

    His tattooed hand brushed across my cheek and gripped my hair."Void, please... Please."But my pleas were ignored as he inched my face toward the surface of the water. I was so close I could feel the cold breathing against my skin.I let out a sound that was neither word nor scream. Just raw, soul-deep terror.Fuck."Did you know, Rali," his voice rasped close to my ear, "most people don't actually die from drowning. Not at first."His fingers twisted deeper into my hair, yanking my head back just enough for me to see the glint of light flicker off the blocks of ice bobbing in the tub."They die from the fear," he continued. "The terror hits them before the water does. Before their lungs ever give up, their minds already do, making them forget how to breathe. The water doesn't even have to try."Another whimper broke from my throat as he forced me closer to the surface. The mist curled up and kissed my face."That moment when the water claims your face, and you can't tell if you're c

    I blinked at the floor before sliding my eyes shut. I prayed for this moment to glitch into a dream. I swore I'd start attending church like a nun if it meant waking up."I—" my throat hurt from the dry gulp I took. "I was at Veronica's."He nodded once, pulling the cigar from his lips. "You've been staying at her place for the past five days?"I took another nervous gulp as I answered with a nod."So, you did quit your job."God, I was doomed."Look, I'm—I'm sorry. I swear I was going to tell you this weekend. I just..." Deep breaths, Rali. Deep breaths.Shit. My fingers were shaking.I folded my arms."I had to quit. The place had become too toxic for my liking. You know, it's always a competition with the other staff. I've been working on this decision for a while now and decided this was the best time to move on to something better.""Funny," he laughed. "Benita mentioned you were loved by everyone. Said the whole office was stunned when you showed up to resign."I was so close—so
