If I took off that mask right now, she would head for the hills. I had to wait. The opportunity would come—I would make sure of that, even if I had to manipulate my way into getting what I want.
For years, my life had been so empty. The only time I felt a rush was when I’d kill; the adrenaline was indescribable.
She’s just a whore like every other woman,a voice said in my head.Slit her throat and kill her! Kill her, you twat!
“Evan, these pictures are amazing!”
Aria pulled me out of my past, disarming me with her seductive eyes.
“The models are so beautiful.”
“Not as beautiful as you.” I smiled.
“You’re flattering me. We’re all beautiful in our own way.”
“I don’t give empty compliments.”
“I’m sorry for what happened with Noah earlier.”
“You don’t have to apologize for him.”
“He’s just really protective of me.”
“I noticed”—I sipped my champagne—“I hope you’re not upset that I displayed your pictures tonight.”
“Not at all. I really appreciate the effort you put into all of this.”
“I have plenty more events lined up in the upcoming months. I expect you to be there.”
“I wouldn’t miss it.” She smiled warmly.
“How’s school going, by the way?”
“Great.”
“Are you dating anyone?”
“No… but there is this one guy in my sociology class. He’s asked me out a few times. I feel bad for making excuses.”
“What’s keeping you from saying yes?”
I already knew. I knew everything about Trevor and had dug into his past, pulled up as much dirt I could find, and had targeted the bastard as my next kill. What Aria didn’t know was that he had been cheating on her throughout their relationship with multiple women… including a drunken one-night stand with her best friend Ally. She was also on my hit list. Anyone who had maliciously lied to Aria deserved death in my eyes. The most disturbing part about my personality was how quickly I could shut off my emotions in the name of justice. If I couldn’t get an admission of guilt out of my targets, then I would eliminate them from the face of the earth. It was divine justice served. Someone had to be God’s executioner. I was happy to take on the role as her angel of death in the name of love; it was violence channeled properly.
I knew what it was like to be cheated on and lied to. I still fantasized about murdering the fatal ex who broke my heart. If she wasn’t in an unhappy marriage with three kids, I would have finished the job. She was suffering and had let herself go; it gave me peace.
“I guess I just want to focus on school instead of a relationship.”
Aria’s soothing voice pulled me out of a red mist of murderous thoughts. Someone seemed to have caught her attention as she peered over my shoulder. Turning around, I sawNoah and Cammie laughing together. She seemed to be cozying up to him.
“Did Noah and Cammie date back in college?” Aria asked.
“Sort of. They have history together.”
Based on the gossip my sister Breanne had shared, those two had an “intense friendship.”
“Did Noah love her?”
“Let’s just say that whenever they were alone together, they ended up with their clothes off.”
