🌹CHAPTER THIRTY - SIX🌹

I gasp as my eyes land on the gun that is pointed at me and my mom. He takes the safety off and puts his finger on the trigger. My mom goes over to me and pushes me a bit behind her. "I may have failed to kill you once but two birds with one stone. How marvelous" He speaks.

"Have you gone out of your mind?" My mom asks me. She reaches behind her and takes my hand into hers and we hold each other tightly. Fear runs through my whole body as my heart is beating faster inside my chest, almost as if it wanted to get out of my chest.

"Don't act like this, I've always been out of my mind" He says and for that I'm highly confused. He insulted himself, that is how I know that he has grown insane and should not be trusted but then again I could not even trust him before so why should I do now?

I gulp when he walks even closer to us. "We will pay you money" My mom says but I shake my head. This needs to end. I've already promised him money and still he wants to kill us. None of this will be over until he has been stopped or I know that he's just going to come back for more money when the one that he would have runs out which I know would happen rather quickly.

"No, we're not giving him money. Not when he has breaches the deal that we made and even shook on it. You're going to cross me again but not this time" I speak and I have no idea why I'm trying to have this much courage when he holds an actual gun in his hand and can shoot me at any given second and I'm sure he will.

Since he did have me and Alexander shot before but he only hired someone to do it, perhaps he won't do it himself. He rolls his eyes but he still has the gun pointed at us as he walks closer. The fear inside me is growing intense and I have a hard time not passing out right about now but I must remain calm.

"I've already contacted the police and in a couple of minutes they'll be barging in here and you'll go to jail" I speak, lying through my teeth. I may not have called the police but I will when I do get the chance. But, he doesn't know that I haven't called them because he pales and I notice that the gun lowers a bit but not fully.

"And without money you won't be able to afford any good lawyer and you'll be sentenced to a long time in jail, perhaps even without parole" I speak to him smirking. He knows that I'm right but what he doesn't know is that I'm not speaking the truth, the police aren't on their way and they won't be unless I can get a phone.

"I'd better run if I were you" I tell him and this time he turns around and runs out of the room. "I didn't call the police" I whisper to my mom who only giggles. I watch through the window as he gets into his car and I do hope he goes far away from here.

"He will be back, sooner or later, he will be back. That I can tell you" My mom tells me before he welcomes me into a hug and cries into my neck. I hold her as I feel my own heart pounding within my chest. I did not know that it would work but somehow it did.

However, I do know that she is correct about it, he will be back. And I for one am not looking forward to that. "What were you talking about?" I ask her and she shakes her head as she breaks the hug and looks at me. "He was just trying to threaten you and your fiancée" She says.

As soon as she has said that I look down at the ground in sadness as the tears prick my eyes. "He isn't my fiancée anymore" I tell her and she gasps as she makes me look up at her. "What are you talking about?" She asks me and I know that speaking the words and saying it out loud will make it real, so real that I don't want it.
