Linda's POV
"I killed him."
Brandon and Daniel looked at me in shock.
"Linda!" Daniel yelled.
Brandon ran to check if Gorilla is still alive. Would it be bad if I wished he was dead?
"He's still breathing." Daniel told Brandon. I didn't move an inch.
"He killed Casey." I stated.
"What?"
"He killed Casey and he also killed my real father!" I yelled.
"You could've killed him!" Brandon shouted.
He's right. I'm a monster!
"I don't know what came over me okay? I just snapped!" I cried.
"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry I shouted." Brandon said.
"Should... should we call the ambulance?"
"We have to." Brandon took out his phone to call the ambulance.
I'm going to jail.
......................................
"Relax LA. He won't go to the police."
"How do you know that!" I shouted.
Brandon contacted Gorilla's family. I don't even know why I came to the hospital.
After a few minutes, Gorilla's family came. His wife Melissa and her two sons.
"Where is he? What happened?" Justin, one of the twins asked.
"He collapsed." Daniel answered.
How did he come up with that so fast?
"How?" Melissa asked staring at me right in my eyes.
"He fell down the stairs after he collapsed." I said trying to remain calm.
Melissa didn't like me, that was a fact. She thought I wanted her sons' inheritance. They're not even his blood. At least I've got some of his blood in my veins.
"I wouldn't be surprised if this is your fault!" She shouted.
"Excuse me?" This little piece of...
"He stressed about you day in, day out. Is Linda okay? Did she eat dinner!?" She yelled.
"He never cared about me!!" I yelled back.
"Oh he did. Do you know how many times we convinced him to kill you!?" The world around me paused.
"You did what?" I asked not believing what I've heard.
"You said 'we'." I shot her a glare.
"Yes. Even when I told him that he should leave you alone, he still gave you millions. Of course he thought I wouldn't find out but..." She doesn't even sound like she regretted doing this.
"You are evil!" Daniel yelled at her.
"Call me whatever you want. I'm not going to let this trash take away my sons'inheritance!!" Calm down. Calm down.
Breath in. Breath out.
"And your father..." She clicked her tongue.
"Did you guys know about this?" Daniel asked the twins. They both shook their head sideways in shock.
Brandon held me close to him. I pushed Brandon away and ran outside.
I let out a loud cry outside. I'm so tired...
......................................
"She said all that?" Mom asked and I nodded.
"Wow. And I thought Franklin was heartless."
"Right?" I feel so guilty right now. I nearly killed Gorilla for his wife's nonsense. Melissa used dad's anger against me and himself.
"So... Do you see him in a different light now?" Mom asked patting my hair.
"He still killed Casey. He wanted to kill me!"
Mom sighed.
"Maybe I should go and see him." Mom said causing me to snap out of my thoughts.
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"I'm still going." She shrugged her shoulders causing me to smile.
...................................
"Linda!"
"Linda! Wake up!" I opened my eyes in horror.
"It's just a dream sweetie." Mom comforted me.
"I saw her mom. She was trying to kill me!" I looked side to side.
"Who?"
"Melissa. She...she tried to.."
"Calm down Linda. It's only a dream."
I nodded but I knew fully well that it was a warning.
Ohhh. Guys. I think I'm gonna end this book earlier than I thought. Xoxo.
