The Promise

Chapter Eight

(Horrifying Revenge)

The next morning, Gwin returns to his house after spending the entire night at the police station. Explaining the same thing over and over again about what happened to his fiancé.

He ambles towards the living room and he sees a paddle of blood of his fiancé. He shut down his eyes as the horror image of Danisa appeared in his mind when she was throttling in his arms.

His emotional pain is uncontrollable as he thinks about the police and forensics arriving last night and took away Danisa's corpse in a body bag.

He takes a seat on a couch and starts to sob while burying his face with his hands.

The feelings of his loss displays discomfort as he is disappointed in himself for unable to protect the woman he loves.

His cell phone vibrated from his pocket while he's still sobbing. A maddening frown appeared when he recognized the number.

"You did this." said Gwin as he answered the call, with a raging soft tone.

"How does it feel? To lose someone you love." said Sane.

"Why? She had nothing to do with this!" Gwin roared, huffing as he got up from the couch.

"She had everything to do with this." Sane responded, with a savage low voice. "If it wasn't for her, you would have kept your promise. We would be together as we speak."

Gwin's begins to drive into a madness of anger.

"You killed my fiancé because of a stupid promise we made when were young!!"

Gwin clenched his fingers, a sign to prove if Sane was right there next to him, he would be squeezing her neck, watching her suffering like how Danisa did before her death.

"I killed her because I wanted you to feel the pain you left in my bloody heart. And I can feel your heart is shattering into pieces." said Sane, with a grimly voice of satisfaction.

Gwin's intense emotional state is furthered in sorrow with Sane's pleasant emotions from her contentment.

"I will make sure you pay for this!" said Gwin.

Threatening with a strong response to his fiancés' murderer perceived provocation.

"Next time when you make a promise. Honor it."

She hung up on him again.

Gwin groaned out loud and smashed his phone on the wall.

Sane steps out of her white KIA looking ravishing. Her body fit perfectly in her lavender gray cocktail dress and her beauty product has cared for her face.

Her cheekbones appeared more defined, and the eyebrow hairs dyed with eerie black.

Her lips applied with a dark crimson lipstick and her fingernails colored with dark jungle green, matching her toenails.

She is feeling good. She has returned to work and she has told her friends everything that happened, excluding her visit to the witch.

She enters her regular restaurant, a spot where she usually meets up with her friends.

She finds Andiswa, moisturizing her juicy lips with a lip balm.

"Oh my God, aren't you looking beautiful." said Andiswa when she sees Sane coming towards her.

She rose up from the chair and they shared a hug.

"I missed you so much." said Sane, unable to release her arms from her friend.

"I'm glad you are feeling better. We were so worried about you."

They take a seat, and Sane looks around and asks about Amanda.

"Oh, her sister died yesterday. I think today she's going to Gauteng with her family and bring back her body." said Andiswa.

Sane is taken by a shock when a waitress comes and Andiswa orders two strawberry milkshakes. Their favorite.

"Danisa is dead? That's so terrible. What happened to her?" Sane asks, without knowing it's the same Danisa she assassinated.

Sane had no clue Amanda's sister was the woman who was getting married to Gwin, because she and Andiswa didn't know anything about her fiancé.

"I'm not sure. They got a call yesterday night. She couldn't stop crying over the phone." said Andiswa.

They both feel the sadness that Amanda must be going through.

"We have to be there for her." said Sane.

"Of course. Like we wanted to be there for you when you isolated yourself from us."said Andiswa, as she glanced over the menu.

"I'm really sorry about that. I was really in a bad space." Sane apologies again.

"I know. We understood you needed some time alone after what that bastard did to you."

Andiswa clasps her hand on Sane's hand, both smiling at each other.

"Yeah. I'm over it. Now we just need to focus on Amanda. She's going to need our support.
