Marked for Evil.

Adelynn's pov:

Right, it's been a day and I haven't been able to sleep at all. The target list is playing on my mind every second of every day, it's exhausting.

I know I've said this before but both Jason and my dad said me and Elias were targeting before Elias was killed. Jason said it more recent than my dad because my dad told me when he was telling me that Ryle was my brother.

The thing I find weird is that Jason told me that we were definitely on there at some point the day I went to Ryle about my dad telling me and asking Ryle about it. All of this begun when we met Ryle but if we were really targets then.

How long has Ryle been watching me and Elias for? I know for a fact when someone has targets they have to study them, watch them, find out everything they can by observation.

I feel like what I saw yesterday has just pushed me away from ease, Ryle said he'd never be able to get over Elias. I mean I know everyone has to get over everyone eventually but it hasn't been long, I'm still grieving and Ryle was dating him for god sake.

Maybe I should ask Ryle about it, he might have a reasonable reason or he might not. I won't know until I ask him. I won't ask him about the target list thing because I already have and he said no and I don't want him to think I don't trust him, of course I trust him I just want to know if we were on there.

Since the ones on his laptop are his personal targets then if me and Elias are on there then it wouldn't of been a different person, it would of been him who would of killed us. I definitely need to talk to Ryle though so I'm going to go to him and demand some answers.

I walked along the hall at a somewhat fast pace and got to his office, I knocked on the door and waited for a reply. I didn't get one.

"Ryle!" I shouted. Still no reply. "Ryle!" I shouted louder this time. Again, no reply. "I'm coming in!" I shouted as I pulled the handle down and pushed the door open.

No wonder he couldn't hear me, he's with that same guy again.

"God, can you be more shameless?" I questioned him as I walked closer. I actually couldn't tell if he was ignoring me or if he actually couldn't hear me. I got to his desk and banged on it. "For god sake Ryle!" I shouted and they both jumped.

"Hear me now?" I asked them both. "I heard you every time I just wanted you to go away." He replied. "Apparently it didn't work." He added on afterwards.

"I need to talk to you. Alone." I emphasized the fact I needed him alone without his new toy. He definitely is a spitting image of our father. The guy left and it was just me and Ryle in the room.

"So what's so important that you have to disturb me?" He asked me, he's acting like I disturbed him from a life or death business deal.

"We need to talk about whoever that is. What happened to you not being able to get over Elias?" I questioned him with a slightly impatience in my tone. "Addie, I know you are grieving and I am as well and I do miss him but I can't live in the grief." He explained to me, is he serious?

"Ryle, it's been just over a month since Elias's funeral and you're already sleeping around with other people." I exclaimed. "Like I said, I can't live in the grief I have to move on like you do." He replied, I get that he has to move on but it's a little soon.

"You're allowed to grieve Ryle, you're allowed to cry and scream if that's what you need. I haven't seen you cry once." I pointed out to him, he stood up and walked round.

"What are you saying? That I don't care? Adelynn we don't all cry at the mention of Elias's name like you do. I grieve in my own private time." He stated, what the fuck. I stood up in front of him just looking at him in disbelief. How could he say that?

"What is your problem? I'm sorry that I grieve like a normal person and you don't. Oh wait, you aren't normal. You were raised by Lucien for god sake, no wonder you can't cry." I raised my voice slightly.

The thing with Ryle is that he thinks he's scary but he's not. "Don't speak about our father like that." He spoke with a tone of warning in his voice. "Or what? You're defending him now? You hated him atleast a week ago." I replied to him.

"So tell me Ryle. What are you actually going to do if I speak about our father like that?" I added on questioning him, questioning his intentions.

He didn't say anything for a few seconds just staring at me with that same emotionless face. "I'll remove you from the family, I can do it with a click of my fingers." He explained, I raised my brows and scoffed.

"You can't remove blood Ryle, not without killing me. Feel free to remove my last name I didn't use it until I got announced as your sister but I was still a Rivera, I still have Rivera blood and that's all I need. Unlike you, you need the name for somewhat of social status." I replied back to him with a very 'don't piss me off' tone.

"You don't have Haze to bring you a social status anymore, you're just you." He spoke, why did he have to mention Haze.

"Fuck off Ryle." I said to him. "What?" He questioned me. "I said. Fuck off!" I yelled that time. I grabbed one of his glasses and threw it at him. "Get out! Fuck you and fuck off!" I screamed, he dodged the flying glasses and whatever else I could get my hands on to throw.

"What is your problem!" He yelled back at me. "Just get out! Go away!" I screamed once more, when is he going to get the hint?! He finally walked out of the door when I threw his bottle of whatever he was drinking at him, I then screamed out in frustration.

Why? Why did he have to mention Haze! I don't even wanna hear his name! He killed Elias for god sake! Ryle knows that!

You know what, that target thing is bothering me. I'll go on his laptop now since I'm here and look. Maybe it's anger that's making me do this, maybe it's because Ryle has pissed me off that much but fuck it I'm going to look.

He left it open, that's good. I sat down on his chair in front of his laptop and clicked on files. I found the target list folder and there was all the letters of the alphabet.

This is Ryle's personal target list so this will tell me. I found 'H' and double clicked to get onto the folder. I scrolled down a little "A....B.....C.....D......" Then I stopped.

I got to E. "Elizabeth, Eleanor." I was reading the names out and I stopped. The one below Eleanor.

"Elias Heart." My breathing got heavier the second I read that out.

He killed Elias. It wasn't Haze.. It was Ryle.. I took my finger across the screen. "Completed." Oh my god. It's true, he actually killed him.

Wait, if Elias is on there then.. I came off 'H' and went onto 'R' I clicked on it and scrolled down only a little bit then I saw it.

"Adelynn Rivera." I spoke, no. No it can't be true.

"The bottom left draw of his desk." I repeated Ryle's words. The words he said when he told me Haze killed Elias. I bent down to the bottom left draw, and opened it.

The same exact gun that Ryle told me Elias was killed with but it wasn't the one I found, the one I found is hidden. The gun I have didn't kill Elias. This one did.

OOOOOOOOOO SHE'S FOUND OUTTT!!!!!! Honestly so excited for the last few chapters they are gonna be so good trust me.
