TOUCH OF SIN

Chapter Twenty Four

Wesley pov:

I have never been so scared in my life ever since I found Clara's lifeless body until I watched Sheryl's petite lifeless body being stuffed into the ambulance. It was like I was reliving a nightmare all over again. I could hear my ears ringing and my breath coming in short raspy angry rasps. It was like I was relieving that night. Seth had dropped me off as usual. I had stayed at the office till midnight.

We had both panicked when we saw a body lying by the front doors. How we had rushed out before the engine could go off. How my heart had filled with dread as I got closer and I recognized the dark long hair that could only belong to my baby sister. Her white gown she was wearing to celebrate her eighteenth birthday was   no longer white but red as she bled from the wound from her severed trachea. Her lifeless body and her lifeless eyes empty if life still haunted me.

The ambulance took a whole ten minutes Seth arrived in eight and he was the reason I hadn't gone berserk. Its been two hours since then.

I paced the hospital corridors and I was sure I was going to bore a hole on the floor. I was worried and mad at the same time. I was more than angry actually, I was feeling murderous.

After Seth told me detail what had happened earlier I lost it. I had punched him in the face. Actually I had beaten the crap out of him. That being that he didn't even punch back. He was a strong guy but even he knew when not to fight some rights.

I was a raging bull and I had seen red when he had told what had actually happened to Sheryl. Seth being Seth had let me take it out on him. I was convinced that some part of him was feeling guilty after seeing Sheryl's condition.

Some part of me wondered what could have happened if Seth hadn't gotten to Sheryl on time. I growled and my fist connected with the wall. Seth was not here to hold me back because I had fired him after I heard what had happed. I might have overreacted a little but I wasnt the CEO of REEDS CORP just by working with slacking people. He didnt even argue or give me a reason for his actions, arrogant bastard.

After getting a glare from an elderly nurse I sat down. Not that I cared what she thought but I didnt want to be thrown out of the hospital. I treaded my hands through my short hair again and again and as I worried for that fragile girl. It was all I could do not to burst out of there and drive to Green Valley Estate and kill my brother.

Yes, kill my fucking brother.

That bastard Leo was the one who had assaulted my fragile angel. He always hated me since Johnson brought me under his wing after my parents passed. I was seven years old then and he was ten and he always made sure to remind me I was adopted and that I didnt belong in their house. He had always been a son of a bitch and made me sure I lived through hell my entire childhood, from beating me, bullying me, getting me into trouble to calling me names. As we grew up youd think that he’d grow out of his hatred but instead it grew and got worse.

Clara however always liked me and we had always been best friends.  She was four years younger than me and she loved me from the moment I stepped into the Johnson family. She never liked Leo even if he was her older biological brother. He was always self-centered and egocentric. She always crawled in my bed as a child whenever she was scared and hang out with me all the time.

Leo of course didnt like that I was getting more love from his sister and his hatred skyrocketed. He claimed I was taking his sister away from him and turning her against him. He told everyone at school that I was hitting on his little sister. I didnt mind though. Clara was like my sister and best friend and we loved each other. He always beat me to a pulp and I always had bust lip and broken ribs.
