“Are you fucking serious?” I scowl, “I may not want them dead, but they did try to kill us! Brett is dead because of them!”

I notice Kaden shaking his head vigorously, and I walk over, ripping the tape off his mouth, “No! I had nothing to do with his death! That's all on Felicia. She was blackmailing him so he would help her.”

I turn my gaze on the one that started this whole shit storm, “Oh really? What exactly did she threaten him with?”

“She threatened to spill that he was into men; told him she had evidence that she would show the whole school and send it to his parents. His father is very strict, and so he did her bidding. Then, when he found out that I really was interested in you, he was happy to go along with it.” Kaden isn't having any issues spilling everything or answering our questions.

“What about the fire?” Oakley asks, “How did anyone know we would be there?”

“There's a bug in Cat's phone. Felicia had Brett install it. She could always hear everything,” he informs us, and I feel my face heat.

“Everything?” I croak out.

“Yeah...” Kaden nods.

I look over at Oakley and see the anger etched in his face, “You fucking bitch!”

I grab him when he lunges for her, and she begins to laugh behind the tape. She knows he's pissed about her listening to our little tryst in my father's office. She has no remorse. I can tell by the gleam in her eyes that she isn't sorry for anything.

Ripping the tape from her mouth, I ask her straight up, “Are you sorry for any of it?”

I'm hoping she will say yes, because maybe there is still hope for her. Her ominous look tells me I won't like what she's about to say. I send up a prayer, asking for forgiveness on what I may have to do if she proves that she isn't remorseful.

Felicia's eyes squint at me, “I had no plans to harm you, but your fathers left me no choice. Then, when I realized that you werelettingthem use you, to treat you like their own personal whore, and that you were enjoying it...I knew there was no saving you. They're the worst Sinners of all...”

She doesn't get to finish her sentence as a bullet flies right through her forehead. The smoke plumes from the barrel of my gun as the room goes silent. I stand here and watch a trickle of blood roll down her forehead as it lulls forward. I'm a fucking hypocrite. I just killed her... and it wasn't in self-defense; she was just a shitty person.

“Jesus Christ!” I turn my attention to Kaden when I hear his outburst, and his eyes widen.

“Sorry, but your sister was a fucking bitch,” I bring my hand to my side and look at our fathers, “I want to be updated on their progress at the Institute.”

Once I see their nods, my eyes linger on my father, and I notice the pride in his. Turning, I head for the door, not needing to check and see if my Lords are following. I can feel their presence close behind. I know they will follow me anywhere, just like I will follow them.

It's not until I step outside that my body begins to shake in the aftermath. Strong arms wrap around me and lift me as warm breath tickles my neck, “I've got you. I'll always have you, Lovely Lina.”
