"What do you mean she's still alive?"

"I don't know how much clearer I can make myself," he raises a brow. "I never killed her because she never died, you all just threw the blame on me." He finishes.

"Then where is she? And you never tried to convince of otherwise." I say this whole situation wasn't adding up.

"She's safe, and I never said anything because she didn't want anyone to know."

"Even her sister?"

He nods. "She was miserable, the shit she and her sister went through I'd fucking fake my death too." He says. "She asked me to help her."

Rory doesn't talk about her life growing up, like ever so it makes sense. "So why are you telling me this? Does she know you're telling me this?" He nods.

"She wants to come back, she wants to see Rory."

"I think maybe you should tell her that."

"I would but I'm afraid I won't be able to get two words in without my throat getting slit open."

I roll my eyes as I stand up head to the door calling for Rory to come inside, before she can step in and stain my carpet red I stop her at the door, staring into her eyes. "Be cool."

"Gio."

"Rory." I give her a stern look, and she nods knowing she can trust me.

She steps into the room and I make sure to stand just in between the two in case something goes down.

"Rory..." Theo starts.

"Blaze. Or was it Theo?" She says.

He looks at me. "Just spit it out," I tell him.

"Your sister is alive, I didn't kill her." He tells her and her face falls for a second.

"What is this?" She looks at me for a second before looking back at Theo. "Don't fuck with me right now." I could hear the pain in her voice, she wanted to believe it but was struggling to.

"I'm not, she's alive... she wants to see you."

"Where have you been keeping her!" She shouts.

"Ror-"

"He took her away from me," I notice her reaching for one of her knives and pulling one out from the strap on her thigh, but I place a hand in front of her. "You monster." She tries to move my hand so she can get to him.

"I didn't take her away from you, she came to me!" Rory stopped at that. "She was miserable and wanted to get out of that fucking house, can you fucking blame her?" Theo began to raise his voice.

"You don't know shit!"

"I know more than you think, she told me everything."

Rory scoffed and rolled her eyes. "You expect me to believe that shit? She would never."

"She's not the person you once knew Ror-"

"Don't call me that."

"I don't want to fight with you, you can talk it all out with her soon enough, her flight lands in a few hours."

She looked at me and I could tell she was fighting the tears from falling. "I believe him," I tell her.

She slips the knife back into its pocket and looks at Theo. "Lie to me and I'll fucking skin you." She said as she walked out, as she opened the door I noticed Sergio standing out there like some kind of guard when she pushed past him he sent a quick glare to Theo before racing after her.
