There’s so much hatred in each of her stabs and cuts, and it’s gotten me completely transfixed. I’ve heard stories from Aspen about Sunny’s supposed murder sprees around Spine Ridge, but I’ve never witnessed it myself, nor did I really believe she’d actually bring her victims to campus.
But now that I’m here, witnessing it firsthand … I don’t doubt she’s killed before.
My heart throbs in my throat as she circles the man with her gun in one hand, forcing him to open his mouth so she can look him in the eye and watch him cry as she blows his brains out.
Goose bumps erupt all over my skin.
Such casual cruelness …
God, what a woman.
Whatever that man did that got her so upset, he must’ve deserved it.
Because why else would she go so far as to end his life with zero mercy?
Suddenly, the old window cracks beneath my weight.
Her eyes shoot up toward the roof, connecting with mine in a flash, before I lower my head and hide, heart beating in my throat.
Fuck.
She saw me.
CHAPTER 3
Xavier
No time.
Gotta run.
Fast.
I hop off the roof and land on the metal railing, groaning as my foot lands wrong. Ignoring the pain, I immediately roll down to the stairs, where I skip half the slats before I jump down to the ground. The door to the warehouse has already opened, so I turn toward the other end of the alley and make a run for it.
“Hey!”
Oh fuck. Oh fuck, oh fuck!
She’s gonna kill me.
I bolt as fast as I can around the whole damn building and make a beeline for my car.
I can hear her heelsclick-clackingon the concrete behind the building, so I turn around the corner and run to my car, opening the door so fast that I nearly lose my grip.
“Dammit!” I growl to myself as I jump behind the wheel, slam the door shut, and drive backward.
Just as she comes into view and marches right to my car.
Fuck, what do I do?
I can’t turn around. She’ll see my plate, look up the ownership details, and then she’ll know it was me. My mask hides my identity, but there’s no telling what she’ll do if she finds out it’s me.
Only one option left.
I keep it in reverse and hit the gas so hard I shoot back farther until she’s out of reach, then I swiftly make a U-turn and race off into the night.
Fuck me, my heart is beating so fast I swear it might give out on me.
