“That’s true,” I mutter.
“Shut the fuck up,” he growls, pointing the gun right at my forehead. “Turn around.”
I do what he asks, breathing out a sigh.
Whether I listen or not, my time is going to end sooner or later.
I just never thought it’d happen this quickly.
And that I wouldn’t even be able to tell her goodbye.
“Hands on your back.” He wraps a bunch of ropes around my wrists and knots them together tightly, then throws a bag over my head.
He pushes the gun into my back. “Now move.”
“What do you think you’re gonna do? Throw me over your bike?”
“You think I came unprepared?” he hisses, shoving me. “Keep walking.”
“Where?”
“Parking lot.”
“So you can put a bullet in me?”
He snorts. “You think I’m going to let you off the hook that easily?” A car beeps, and a door is thrown open. He must’ve stolen this. “Get in.”
“You can still stop this,” I say.
He merely laughs and knocks me on the back of the head, and I fall from the dizziness and instant nausea.
“You killed my sister,” he says through gritted teeth. “And I’m going to make it fucking hurt so much, you’ll be begging me to kill you.”
CHAPTER 62
Aspen
“We have to go. Now.”
“Why the rush?” Mom asks as she suddenly peeks into the hallway too.
“Um … we’ve made other plans tonight, and I don’t want to miss it,” I lie.
I don’t want her involved in this if I can avoid it.
“Your food was delicious, ma’am,” Grey says while he puts on his coat.
“Good to hear. I’d love to see you again.”
“Of course.” Grey smiles with his usual charm.
“See you soon, Aspen?” Mom asks.
“Sure,” I reply.
“I’m gonna go clean up the mess.” She waves and walks off, while I swiftly put on my coat.
But before I can open the front door, Xavier suddenly blocks my way.
