Sarah pointed to Elizabeth.Jake walked close to her and grabbed her by the clothes.“Give me one reason why I shouldn't put your body alongside theirs”.“I am not going to beg, I deserve anything you do to me”. Elizabeth said not displaying any fear.Jake released her.“I'm letting you go, not because I am too weak to kill you buy because you deserve a better punishment, you will live the rest of your miserable life, thinking about how you failed in this world, and the deaths of all these people will be upon you alone”.Elizabeth did not know when a tear dropped from her eyes, she would have preferred death over leaving like this, when no one was looking she grabbed a gun and shot herself in the head. Jake didn't say anything, he didn't even feel anything, he only held Sarah close to himself and said, “Let's go”.They drove back to the house, and this time it was finally over, when they got in neither Cassandra nor the old man was at home, and a maid told them that

    Aiden walked straight to where she was huddled and sat beside her not minding her hateful stare, “I am going to ask you one last time, why have you not been eating the food brought to you?”.“Because I'm not hungry, I don't feel like eating anything”.“But you drink the water, do you think the food is poisoned if so it would be easier to poison the water that you drank without any hassle, now listen here, I'm not giving you the food out of courtesy, I'm giving you to hold my end of the deal with your boyfriend, although I promise to give you back to him in one piece, that is if he delivers what I want on time, so next time one of my men bring in your food, I need you to eat and finish it up, do you understand me?”. Sarah gave a nod to show she understood everything that he said.“Good girl”. He tapped her cheeks and left the room with Tyler.“So what do we do now?, Do we just sit and wait?” Tyler asked Aiden.“That is the only thing we can do, wait for him to come to us, don't worry y

When he got inside he slumped in the chair and signaled for the maid to get him a cold refreshing drink.“Do you want to kill yourself by running that long?, I saw you when you started you know, I just didn't imagine you would go that far,you do not have to stress yourself like that”.
