Atrophy | A Dark Mafia Bully Romance

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Sixteen

Elena sat down in a seat as she held Fiona's hand tightly.

She knew everyone was here. Everyone including Vanessa and it terrified her. She didn't want to remember. She didn't want anything to do with her. She would panic and make a scene. Elena tried to maintain her sanity as she told herself she was here for Emerson.

They started the graduation ceremony and everyone clapped and hooted as students started going on stage.

Vanessa couldn't even go on stage due to how scared she was of what people would do. Tara went for her and smiled as she took her place.

Vanessa was thankful that because of Tara, she didn't have to deal with any kind of ridicule.

"If you did the crime, do the time." A deep voice sounded out from near where she was secretly seated.

She looked up as a man she had never seen stood above her.

Her eyes narrowed as she looked into his dark green eyes that were hardened with an edge of curiosity in them.

It didn't matter who he was, he was here for the same reason as them. To taunt and torture her.

She looked away him after a moment, claiming defeat as she got up to leave and avoid any sort of altercation.

"Your grandfather sent me. Tara's already here." The man stated and boredly looked away from her.

He was built like a tank, muscular and fit in every way. He could rip her apart easily. The man easily loomed over her as he glared down at the crowd of people cheering for their loved ones graduating.

He was almost as built as Emerson.

"Tyran?" Vanessa questioned recognising his similarity to Tara as his eyes snapped to hers at the sound of her voice.

He didn't say a word as he sat down and gestured for her to sit beside him as they watched the ceremony.

Emerson went on stage next and Vanessa stiffened.

Tyran noticed and spoke out loud. "Emerson Grisham huh?"

Vanessa spoke after a thoughtful moment. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yeah right."

"Did you know that Sean promised me one wish after I graduate. Anything within reason." She changed the topic suddenly.

Tyran calculatedly tipped his chin as he analysed her behaviour carefully.

"The boss is here by the way. My grandfather is with him and they're watching everything from... a distance." He distractedly stated.

At the ceremony, Mason got up for a moment to answer a call.

He looked off into the distance as he saw two figures sitting on the grass at the hill that overlooked the entire area.

Vanessa fucking Winsley.

Mason ended the call and called Lucas, one of his hitmen.

"I want the girl fucking dead. She's at the ceremony. The second she leaves. Follow and get rid of her. I can't sit here and let her get off with what she did. It's time." Mason sneered as he faced away from the girl that had almost ruined his family beyond redemption.

He ended the call and turned only to see Emerson facing him.

"What is it son."

Emerson eyes glimmered darkly.

"She has to go. Do you have any objections?" Mason asked.

Emerson gritted his teeth and spoke back firmly. "You won't kill her."
