he says before walking away to grab a glass of water. ... Alberto joins me in the garden. And as usual, he's dressed in a dark suit, his stick in hand and a very dangerous look. Sometimes, I think he's Mafia. "Good of you to join me" I tell him after we shake hands. We both seat and I cut to the chase. "Tell me everything Bethany told you" He sighs dropping his stick on the table. "She said you killed her child and that was all. She just kept raning it to the police men trying to justify herself"

He holed up at home, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Jacob supported me as we stood there, his gaze at Timothy cold and unyielding. Timothy's eyes then fell on my slightly rounded belly, shock evident in his expression. "Lena, you..." I nodded slightly, keeping my tone composed. "Hello, Mr. Lewis." The formality of calling him "Mr. Lewis" put an end to any connection between us. He shook his head smiling bitterly. He knew that we could never go back to how things were. - Christopher's life ended quickly. He was buried in the same cemetery as Mia. When I visited Mia's grave, I saw Timothy again.

"Eden… I didn't mean to… I really didn't know it would turn out like this… I just… I just heard the elders say that doing it this way helps the dead go to heaven… I was trying to do a good thing… I didn't mean any harm…" He trembled while he cried, as if he had suffered some terrible injustice. "I just wanted to do something for him…" "A good thing?" I repeated softly. "Feeding a body to dogs is a good thing? Shoving ashes up your hole is a good thing? Curtis, do you have a single honest word left in you?" I unlocked my phone and played the footage I had found near the operating room. The images were suffocatingly brutal. The body being dragged across the ground, torn at by dogs…

Miss Aria was a legendary firecracker who spent her days knitting Delilah’s ‘barely-there’ risqué outfits and telling wild stories about the hearts she’d broken back in the sixties. She was the perfect antidote to the Ashford gloom. As we turned onto the main road, I pulled out my phone. I hadn't checked on the farm in forty-eight hours, and the withdrawal was real. I hit the speed dial for Ulysses. While the phone rang, I stared out the window. God, I hope those boys aren't murdering my legacy tomatoes. Leaving the farm had been like limb-amputation. Selling Bessie, Jude, and Charles had been the worst—the three cows had been my pride and joy, but the bank was a cold, heartless mistress.

Gerey was beginning to tremble and the cooling wind that blew here and there began to feel cold against his skin. “Their cell overreacts to the chemicals, I think, they get so strong that their cells don't last much longer in that state so it - explodes in them, one by one till the individual is gone.” He paused and they walked on, slower than before. “You see, I didn't have much time to talk about it with whom I got the information from. If we'd spoken a second longer, he'll be dead and probably me, too.” “Woah! That's wild. Where are they doing this stuff?”

Jackson remained silent, only nodding affirmatively. “I thought I’d be okay and I was okay, for three weeks at least. I tried talking to her after, telling her I was open to trying new things but she wouldn’t have it. A week later, after checking out her social media accounts, I found out she moved on. A part of me died that day and that’s when the alcohol and gambling started. I tried putting myself out there, going on a few dates after being matched on dating apps and they all ended badly. Dates with the wrong kind of girls tend to end only one way, you know,” said Morgan, his eyes beginning to water.

And death. “It’s just comfort,” Speedy said. He was alert that night, an unusual change from his drooling, incontinent self. Mykel thought about candles and about how they burned brightest just before they went out. “I don’t know if Woods would approve.” “Just half an hour. Help me walk in. I’m weak. She’s scared. The little one’s dying.” “Look, you should be resting.” “I’ll rest when I’m dead, boy,” Speedy said, letting go of Mykel’s arm. “And you’ll rest too someday. ‘Til then, let us live. No woman should cry alone in the night, not on Christmas.”

Anyway she looked at him, he was delicious. “Oh! Hi Aaron! How are you?” “You know, same ol’ same ol’. What are you seeing tonight?” “I saw Darker Side of the Moon and waiting to see Fire Cloak and The Passing 3.” “Oh. The Passing 3 was good. Better than 2 I think.” “Sweet.”

The other answered fanning himself with his hand. “Be quick, we can’t keep the CCTVs off for too long.” The one on the guard commanded. “This is fucking hard! Why can’t we just snap off her neck instead?” the shorter man argued in a bored tone. “I would enjoy that too but that person wants it to look like an accident.” “What load of bullshit?” “This bullshit will earn us millions so get your hands moving!” the first one growled, getting tired of the other’s unnecessary blabbering.

Any woman can fall for his type right away. “What’s your name?” I asked but my question went unanswered. "So you're the obstinate type, huh? How about I put an end to your waywardness by making you rest in a pool of your own blood?” I took a revolver from my pocket and pointed it at his forehead. It was quite pleasing to watch him quake in terror. “My name is Tyler! Please don’t kill me! I am sorry!” He begged for mercy. “How is it that I'm suppose to forgive someone who sought to murder me and then killed my mother instead? You wouldn't do it if you were me, am I right?” I rolled my eyes as I prepared to fire, keeping my gun pointed at his forehead.
