The Fall Of Freddie The Leaf Novels & Stories

I would not give them the satisfaction of hearing me break down. But the tears came anyway, hot and bitter. They streamed down my face as I grieved for the life I had lost, the freedom that had been stolen from me. I did not know how long I sat there crying. Time seemed to lose meaning in that quiet room. Eventually, the tears stopped, leaving me exhausted. I wiped my face with the back of my hand and took a shaky breath. I had to pull myself together. I had survived Landon's betrayal. I would survive this too.

I shoved his face away and mumbled, "Yes." Not long after that, disaster struck Hayden's company. All his collaborators began to pull out of their deals, followed by the bank urging him to settle his outstanding loans. Ultimately, even the assets in his name were frozen. Hayden sought help from everyone he knew, but his so-called "friends" avoided him like the plague. "The Langleys made it clear that anyone who helps you would be going against them," someone told him in hushed tones. Only then did Hayden understand that Julian was truly out to get him.

"We're even now." She laughed as if she had just heard the biggest joke in the world. "Julian, seven years of your youth, and you're telling me we're even?" I spoke softly. "Yeah. Consider it seven years down the drain." Then I hung up. I blocked every way she had of contacting me. Outside the car window, Seaport's scenery sped backward and disappeared behind us. Leaning against the back seat, I closed my eyes. Seven years ago, I had left this city full of excitement, running toward Evelyn with all my heart. I thought it was the beginning of love.

He tightened his grip even harder. “Crack.” It was the sound of a crushed throat. Sophia’s body jerked violently. Her eyes bulged, gray rat fur still clinging to the corner of her mouth, then her hand fell limp. Lorenzo clutched his ruined eye, gasping for air. The remaining eye held no remorse, only the wild relief and madness of survival. He shoved the corpse aside, dropped to his knees in the filthy water, and roared at the camera. “I won! Water! Give me water!”

In fact, it felt more like a freebie that came with purchasing the necklace. I threw the ring into the trash, just like how I threw my years of love and sincerity for Archer away. "I don't owe you anything anymore, Archer."

He winked. "My answer is no!" Leah rolled her eyes. "Really? Then I'll really show the clips to-" Freddie brought out his phone, and Leah immediately spranged up. "You wouldn't dare!" She snapped and made to snatched the phone from Jim, but Freddie ran off. They began chasing each other around the class. "I'll send it to you later Lavender!" Freddie said and rushed out. "Freddie!" Leah screamed, and went after him immediately. "Gawd, are they ever going to change?" Lavender held her head frustratedly.

This time, his head was crushed into pieces. "I gave it to you. Why didn't you catch it?" Frederick wore a hostile expression. He had plans to indulge in sex with Jasmine a couple more times, but these losers screwed it up. "You have a death wish!" The man's subordinates finally came back to their senses, and pounced at Frederick. "Go to hell, all of you!" Frederick bellowed. They all froze in place. A gust of wind blew by—they collapsed to the floor, blood oozing out from all their orifices.

Well Frederick didn't know Ian was going to be at the factory that day but his plans had ruined him too. "What a good luck for me. Two stones on a bird.” He laughed wickedly. "Sir.” Frederick heard Biggy’s voice. "What is it?" "The newspapers you requested.” Biggy replied. Frederick dropped the wine glass on the table and collected the papers only to find out that he was on the front page of every news papers in Chicago. He has been declared wanted which means that he couldn't move around freely! Now he is a fugitive! “They want to cease my freedom and limit me from getting my plans done.” He murmured. But soon he grinned because Biggy would still be the one helping out with his plans.

I nodded at Gio and he grabbed Freddie's right arm and put it in front of me. "No no no. Don't, please no." He begged, I opened the plier and placed his index finger in it. I clamped it down and pulled. A loud crack resounded in the cell. Freddie screamed in utter agony. "Look what you made me do." I sighed, " Freddie, I don't like when people betray me. I don't like it even more when they lie to me. I can break another finger or you can talk." Tears fell on his face and snot rushed down from his nose, I wrinkled my nose in disgust. How pathetic.

I ask changing the topic. He gulps, "Dad said pizza." We piled all of the food shopping into the trolley, as I pushed it into the stationary aisle which was empty of customers, he shoved me into a shelf harshly. "Look, will you just stop with the silent treatment you bitch." He raised his fist and my eyes went wide, none of them would ever hit me in public. Suddenly he was shoved to the floor. My eyes darted to my saviour and then back to the floor. "What the hell?" My step-brother moved to his feet and launched himself at the boy who had just knocked him down.
