GiGi keeps speeding down the road until more and more buildings stop showing up. The company is far away from the big part of the city, so we keep heading in that direction until we see a sight that nearly makes our hearts stop.

"No," I mumble when GiGi pulls up to the scene, putting the car in park while I watch everything before me in shock.

The large confrontation in front of us blocks the road, holding up at least a dozen cars ahead of us. There are two ambulances, three police cars, and a few fire trucks, and I see a large wave of fire and smoke in the distance. I watch the water spray over the large flame, but all I can think about is Taehyung.

"No, no, no," I shake my head while getting out of the car and running past the other vehicles until I reach the police cars ahead. Already, I get a glimpse of the black vehicle that's Taehyung's. It's turned upside down and on fire.

Two cops rush up, stopping me from going in further through them. One stands in front of me, blocking me from the sight of the wreck.

"Ma'am, you need to return to your vehicle,"

"He's my husband! Let me through! Please!" My knees go weak as I try to hold myself up when I grab the officer's arms.

"Ma'am, you really shouldn't see this-"

I watch when a paramedic rushes up to talk with the driver of the ambulance vehicle.

"We have one survivor and one death. The woman is alive with little few injuries, but we couldn't get the man out in time before the vehicle exploded. The woman confirmed his identity as Kim Taehyung, but we couldn't tell that by looking at him. The body is burned beyond recognition,"

My voice cracks and I puke on the ground as soon as those words hit my very ears. Holding myself up on the police car, I throw up everything because this can't be right. It has to be a nightmare; I can't lose him. There's no way in hell this is happening, not to him. There's just no way.

We were just starting our lives together and getting everything prepared for the future. I can't help but think about the last time I saw him smile at me earlier in the car before he left. If only I cleaned out the office before today, if only I refused to let him go, then he would be alive.

"W-Where is she? I'm going to kill her!" Forcing my sadness away, I ignore the pain and focus on the anger instead. I push past the police and make it to the ambulance where I jerk the back doors open and see Alice having a clear mask over her face and holding a smirk when she looks at me.

Moving her mask away, she says a couple of words that seal her fate.

"I'll be with him soon, and he'll be mine in death," she comments with a smug grin on her features. "Now, you'll have nothing left of him," she laughs softly, but I lunge at her.

"I'm going to fucking kill you! I'm going to make you pay, you fucking bitch!" I yell at her, but the police pull me away from the ambulance and back to the car with GiGi who's hysterically crying in her seat.

The other girls get out of their cars and take in the scene, too. However, they cry, but I can't force myself to cry after knowing she did this to us-to him. He trusted her, and she... she did something unforgivable.

"Ma'am, you need to turn around and head home. If you're the wife of the deceased, then the police will be by later today to explain everything. For now, you need to take it easy and head home, alright?" Ignoring him, I get in the passenger side and tell GiGi to turn around and head home.

There's nothing here for me anymore except for hate. She took the one person who I loved away, and I can't even think about anything else but revenge.

When the ambulance carrying Alice heads back to the city, GiGi turns around and follows a long distance away from the ambulance.

"So we're going home?" GiGi asks through tears.

"No, follow the ambulance," she glances at me confused, but I don't say anything and neither does she.

I'm going to make Alice pay for what she did, and I'm going to make her pay in the worse way possible.

The hospital was in sight, and I ran inside while they carried her in.

They took her to the ICU, and I remembered the floor it was on and everything. She's not getting away from me.

"Drive," I hurry outside and into the car with GiGi.

"What did you do?" She asks, driving away but holding a bit of worry on her features.

"Nothing, I'm just finding out where she's being held. GiGi, I need you and the girls to help me with this." I begin slowly, thinking of a way to make her understand that this has to happen.

"We need to come back tonight and take her. I'm not going to let her go after what she did to him... Taehyung deserved so much more... he was recovering, and GiGi, he was so happy to see his brother again. I know he probably didn't tell any of you about his past, but he had a brother he loved, and he was going to show up in a week or less. He just told me this morning, and he was so excited to see him again... and now, he won't, and I'll have to be the one to tell his brother the bad news."

"The point is that his life ended too soon. He wanted to see his brother, wanted us to renew our vows, wanted a family with me, and he wanted to be a father, but she took that from him. We need to get revenge; we need to make this happen,"

I know what I'm saying sounds crazy, but right now, there is no gentleness in my heart, no soft-spoken words, or future goals anymore because, to me, my life ended back there with his. I don't care what happens to me as long as Alice is dead, and I'm the one who ends her life.

"Okay, I'm in," surprisingly, GiGi agrees but is also a tad afraid of agreeing. "So what are we going to do?" She asks once cranking the car.

"We're going to explain it to the girls, and anyone who wants out can take it. I'm not forcing this on anyone, but I can't let this slide, GiGi. I love Taehyung so much, and I know he would do the same if it were me," I fight the oncoming tears once more.

I don't need to think about it. I need to focus on Alice. I'll have the rest of my life to grieve over the man who stole my heart and breath away, but I'll only have one chance to get revenge.

"We'll make her pay, Ada. Taehyung will have revenge, and I promise, I'll go to jail for him if I have to. He saved me so many times, and I want to return the favor."

Her anger's coming out as much as mine, and right now, I'm thankful for it. I have no idea how to act around death; it's a numbing feeling, and I hate it.

However, right now, all I care about is making her pay. I'll come back to the house and wait for the police. All I have to do is wait for tonight, and we'll take Alice from the hospital. And then, we'll see how much she'll be smirking after I make her feel the same pain Taehyung did.
