Chapter 82: Chapter 82

Padgett's POV

When my eyes opened, I was surprised to see myself in a dark room, the last thing I could remember was that I got a message from Cameron that I need at the office, I hurry out from Emerald's house only to get double-crossed by a car that pulled me out, the rest was blank.

Who is there? Let me out. I yelled, I try to scream but it kept echoing, I try to move only for me to see Cathy lying lifeless beside me. Ah! I screamed as I jumped from her side. Who is there?

Are you scared? My eyes bulge, seeing Berry point a gun at Cassie's neck and her hand ties behind her.

Berry, what are you doing? I yelled as I try to sit on the floor. Do you want to kill her? I asked

Stop it already, stop feeling sorry for this idiot, you should thank me for trying to help you catch your mom's culprit.

What do you mean? I asked as I stared at them confused, Cassie's skin is covered with blood.

Go on and tell her, if you don't want me to blow off your head? Berry said.

Let me go; I didn't kill anyone, I never did kill her.

Really? She hit Cassie's head and pushed her to the floor. Guys you should make her talk. I watch as the men pulled her hand into the hot water.

No! Stop it! I beg you stop it. I watch as Cassie cries for help.

Let her go. I screamed.

Why sister-in-law? You should know that you are my sister-in-law, whoever hurt you, hurt me, you see Cathy, she has been here all this while because she was skinning evil thought against you, so I decided to eradicate her and this bitch, she killed your mother.

My eyes dried from all my tears, and I stand up with my hands tried.

Did you kill my mom? I asked.

Start talking!!! Berry yelled, I struggle with my tied hands and legs towards Cassie. Put her hand into the boiled water, If she refused to say anything.

Wait, I will confess, just promise me you will let me go. She said as she cried with the pain coming from her burned hand, I look at Cassie.

Don't ask me to promise just do as you are told, if not...

Wait!!! She yelled. I am sorry Padgett, I was the one responsible for the death of your mother, he was supposed to hit you, I really didn't want you to die, I thought been confirm to a wheelchair will make Cameron stop loving you and makes him hate you, I really didn't mean for all that to happen, I got scared, so I had to kill Rhonda.

What? I rushed to her and I hit her continuously with my tied hands, while I cried non-stop, I felt like a despicable child, I created so many problems for my mom, she love me, yet my actions caused her pain, I hit Cassie with all the pains in my heart.

That's enough, sister-in-law, let her pay for her crime.

Yes, let's call the cops. I said but Berry burst into laughter, I look at her lost.

Naive sister-in-law, you should know the cops will do nothing about it, so let's end her life.

No! I don't want...

You don't want to? She said slapping me, which made me fall to the wall, my head bleeds

Ouch!

Good, now, you should choose, her life or yours? Berry said as she pointed the gun at me and the other stretched at me. You have five seconds to make your decision, one! Two! Your time is ticking.

I dragged the gun.

Good girl!!! Now shoot her.

No Padgett, no; she is only going to flame you for all the bad things that she did, don't do that, you shouldn't let anger get the better part of you. Cassie said.

Shut up!!! Berry slapped Cassie across her face, as she dragged her in front of me. Go on and end her misery, shoot her now.

Berry, I can't! I said.

You can't or you won't? She asked in anger, as she now hits me, I manage to kick her pushing her away from me.

Fine, she is my culprit and I said I want her free.

Really? Berry asked, I nodded to her. Fine, let her go. She orders her men, and right in front of me, they untie her arm. You should run

What? She asked

Yes, run, my nice sister-in-law said you should run. Berry said Cassie look at me.

Yes, go, I don't want to hurt you. I said. Thank you! She said as she was about to run out, Berry shot at her.

Cassie! I screamed as I run to her, I cried on her, like she was my family. I told you, let her go, why did you kill her? I hit Berry, she pushed me to the floor, I was getting pity weak as she hit me hard. Berry, what did I do wrong? I asked, for the first time, I felt she was determined to kill me, I felt hopeless.

What did you do? You did everything? Everything that could make me hate you. Yes, I hurt Cameron, and I cheated on him but he would have still taken me back because I knew that, he love just me and me only but you coming back, he couldn't love me, he couldn't forgive me, I blackmail him into being with me, you see those pictures, I send them to his parents, I told my dad to force Adrian's father into betrothing Cameron to me, for four years I could count the number of times we had intercourse

But he is getting married to you and you are pregnant.

Pregnant!!! She laughed sarcastically and then seat as her men point guns at me. I am not pregnant, even Cameron knows that I am not pregnant, he bugs me, I know, when I said I got the girl, I know his thoughts must have wandered to you. I am sure, my dad would be with them right now.

Them? I asked surprised.

Yes, them, with them, your entire family or should I say friends, strangers, I really don't know but let's see. My eyes bulged out, when I saw the CCTV footage, all of them were tied, Mr. White, Berry's dad had imprisoned my friends and my family, my tears fall, as I see Cameron struggles, Alex, Emerald, Julia; Ray, and Sutton.

Let them go, it's me you wanted.

No oh! All of them are my culprit, if there is no them, there will be no you, I know that Mr. Adrian wanted you for his son...

That is not true. I said she titter very loudly.

You have no idea, you are not some stranger but their late best friend's daughter, my dad was the one who killed your father.

What? I yelled.

Yes, so you could disappear, your father was poor but he had knowledge just like you do, it's a good thing he died after imparting his knowledge to the company, which made me have good looking life, so thanks for that but at this point, you need to join him, as well as your fake family.

Please, set them free. I said

Dad is going to kill them all, who do you want to die first? She asked.

No one! I beg you, no one. I said.

Don't be greedy, you should choose one, either, Sutton or Cameron.

No, I am not taking anyone, of them all of them are important. I said.

Really? Maybe, Emerald and Julia, remember Julia is not your friend? She said with a wicked smile, her smiles are evil, and her laughter, is without humor, I never knew that Berry could be this heartless.

I said leave them alone.

Fine then, what about those two evil witches that called themselves parents, should I end...

No! Leave my parents out of these, leave them out of this.

You are greedy, since you can't pick I will help you, let me help you.

Wait!!! I said as I saw her with an object having a red button on it. A bomb. I asked and the next thing is boom

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Ha!!! Ha!!! ha!!! Her laughter follow as she point the gun at me with my tears dropping and I found myself, closing my eyes as I wish she end my misery, no need living because my family is probably all dead.

Bang!!!
