I don’t add that the two weeks I was in that place without Valen were some of the hardest days of my life.
“My clever girl,” Valen growls in my ear.
I smile up at him, tipping my head back so that he can kiss me. Nathan twitches under me as Valen pulls back and kisses the tip of my nose.
“Finish it, baby,” he murmurs as I sigh and look down at Nathan.
“Why?” Nathan asks, the word hard as the color begins to return to his face.
“Why what? Why did I swap with my sister? Because she deserved a taste of what I went through. Only the perfect daughter wasn’t as strong as she thought she was, now, was she? I endured two fucking years in that place, and she didn’t even last two months.
“But then, she didn’t have Valen to hold her together.”
He presses a kiss to the side of my neck, making me squirm.
“Still, I was surprised she managed to hang herself with the sheets like that. The staff were usually pretty on top of watching me. It wouldn’t be any fun for them if their favorite victim died, would it?”
“Why me now?” Nathan manages to get out, and I cock my head and look at him with amusement.
“It’s your turn, of course.”
He frowns, confused.
“I don’t think he’s figured it out, Boo,” Valen chuckles as his hands move around to cup my breasts.
“What? That I killed his daddy and his brother? Some detective.”
Nathan’s eyes go wide.
“You didn’t think I would just let them get away with it, did you? Your brother was easy. He didn’t even recognize me. I drugged him with a little Sono-d, and then I followed him as he took Henwick Hill. I rear-ended him and watched his car go through the guardrail, and… boom.
“It was easy to make your dad’s death look like a heart attack. I wanted him to suffer, but I was playing the long game. After your brother and dad, I took nine more lives. Each one of them had a hand in what happened to me.”
Nathan’s chest is heaving as he takes everything in. “You’re the Lullaby Killer.”
“Ding, ding, ding. Give the man a medal. Oh, right, they already did. For bravery and valor, right? What a fucking joke.”
“They didn’t deserve—” My hand is around his throat before he can finish.
“Don’t tell me what they deserved,” I say through clenched teeth. “You have no fucking clue what they did to me. Some held me down while I was raped, others turned a blind eye, and some took turns themselves. None of them were innocent. If they had been, they wouldn’t be dead. Now, as fun as this has been, it’s time to tie up the last loose end.”
“You won’t get away with this.” His hands twitch.
“Of course I will. I’m the victim, remember?” I say, smiling, before continuing. “I had everything set up and ready. Valen used the burner phone to call my phone and then the station to say he saw a woman being taken before I drugged myself with Sono-d and crawled into my own grave. Valen laid right beside me, keeping me safe until I lost consciousness.”
“I stayed in that grave with her for as long as I could before I covered her with dirt, and then I had to watch as she forgot all about me. She didn’t know what I’d done for her or what I would do for her. I stood by and watched you kiss her. I watched you fall in love with my woman, not knowing if our years of planning would come to fruition. I should kill you myself, but I made a promise to her after I killed her parents that I would let her slay her own demons,” Valen snarls at him.
“I needed a way to get close to you. I needed a way to be involved without being a suspect. And nobody ever suspects the victim, do they?” I grin.
“You’ve had access to all the bodies, and you know how to stage crime scenes and hide evidence. You purchased a dozen music boxes over the years. I should know: I paid for them with your credit card, or I made it look that way.” Valen chuckles.
I turn in Nathan’s lap so my back is pressed against his chest. I spread my legs wide as Valen moves closer, grabbing my legs and angling my hips so he can slide his cock over my wet pussy.
I look up at Nathan and grin. “And the best part? You have a bag full of jewelry in your safe with only your fingerprints on them. Trophies I collected over the years. Not to mention the burner phone with the two calls made the night you conveniently found me in the park.” I giggle, which turns into a groan when Valen slips his cock inside me.
“I’ve never been in your office, never touched your safe, so they won’t find a single print of mine anywhere other than the guest room, the kitchen, the living room, and on your gun.”
He jolts at my words as Valen starts fucking me faster. Valen grabs my boobs and squeezes hard, knowing I need him to leave bruises. I arch up under his assault and cry out when he rakes his nails down my ribs, tearing my skin.
