"It's been one fucking thing after another—-"
My fears have transformed him into this scary, larger-than-life boogeyman...when in truth he's nothing but a man who can only rely on his family's money and power to get his way.
"And that's the only reason you're still alive."
But just as Aaron slowly raises his gun, another voice interrupts us—-
"I'm afraid you have it all wrong, Mr. Bronn."
Iknowthat voice, and if the terror that flashes in Aaron's eyes is any indication, it seems like he knows it, too.
My heart thunders against my chest when I see the Devil stepping out of the dark.
"Don't come any closer," Aaron yells out shakily.
"You look frightened, Mr. Bronn."
"F-Fuck you!"
"You're right to feel scared of me," the Devil says softly. "You may not be prepared to hear this, but the onlyreasonyou're alive is because she's alive...and for the past few weeks, my men have been working hard to keep you from making the worst mistake in your life."
The Devil takes another step forward, and Aaron's expression turns slightly hysterical. "I said don't fucking move—-"
"I warned you, didn't I? You were supposed to forget she ever existed—-"
"Fuck you!"
Multiple things happen all at once after that.
Aaron is about to pull the trigger when the Devil lunges at him, and my whole world turns into a tearful blur when the Devil snatches the gun out of Aaron's hold...and shoots the other man using his own gun.
I'm already sobbing by the time I crash down on my knees.
Oh God, finally.
It's finally over.
