lost lover 5

PoV Mason
I walked through the empty halls of the mansion, feeling cold. These were the times I missed my cousin.

Will was weak and weird, but he was kind and loving. I missed being loved that way.

I came across Stanfords study. I wanted to knock and ask if I could call William, but suddenly I noticed the door was slightly open. I heard him talking to someone. He must be on the phone.

"I need you to get rid of him. Make it look like suicide, that wouldn't surprise anyone. No, money doesn't matter, just make sure that little disgrace is gone by Tuesday. I can't have him bring shame to the family anymore.", Stanford spoke. I covered my mouth and fled quietly.

I searched for Mabel. The only person I could talk to right now.

I found her in her room.

I locked the door behind me.

"Mabel! It's awful!", I cried out.

"Has he chosen my husband?", she grumbled.

"Worse. You know how we both know he makes people disappear sometimes? With the help of a contract killer?", I blurted out.

"Yeah, he does that. What about it?", she sighed.

"Mabel, he hired one to kill William!", I said, tears threatening to fall.

"What?!", she blurted out.

"I heard him on the phone. I think he wants Will gone.", I sniffed, then added:

"We need to warn him!"

Mabel nodded.

"I have a way to reach him. Let me just call my ex.", she stated.

I blinked, confused.

"Hey, uhm, Mathew? I need to talk to William. ", she eventually spoke into the phone

"You had a way to reach him all this time?", I asked, a bit mad.

She shushed me and put the phone on speaker.

"Hello?", I heard the familiar voice.

"William! It's us, Mason and Mabel." , I explained quickly.

"Oh. Oh! How are you guys?", he asked.

"Good, good. Listen, we aren't supposed to talk to you, but we need to warn you. Stanford hired someone to kill you.", I sighed. Silence.

Then:

"Oh. I guess my time is up then? Will you be okay with me gone?"

"You're not gonna let them kill you, are you?", Mabel blurted out.

"What choice do I have?", he sighed.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Mabel quickly hung up.

I opened the door, to find Stanley.

PoV Mathew
I was speechless.

William had went for a walk.

I went to my Dads study and knocked.

He opened a few seconds later.

I sobbed lightly and hugged him tight.

"What's going on?", he asked, hugging me back.

"Stanford wants Will dead! It's awful, apparently he hired a killer!", I sobbed.

"He did what?!", my Dad gasped.

"Where is Will right now?", he then asked.

"Out on a walk. Alone. He thinks if his father wants him to, he has to die!", I sniffed.

"That's insane, we need to do something!",Dad cried out.

I nodded and wiped my eyes.

"I don't want him to die."
