“I know Ty, I know how hard it must be for you to watch me being hurt by him and not be able to stop him. I’m glad you were able to control your anger and not try to stop him. I’m super proud of you Tyler, and I miss you more…
Now shut up and screw me already!” I teased him jokingly, earning me a smack on my ass, as he walked over to my bed with me still straddling his hips. He placed me on the bed, kissing me so passionately.
“Wait, Ty!
How do we know when he is coming, are you sure he didn’t instruct his guards to keep watch on us?” I asked in fear.
“No, my love. He went with all the guys because he is too scared of your brother. He left only us and the gatekeeper in the building. Besides, I put a tracker on his cars, if they are close by, it would trigger the alarm and warn us of his presence. We are safe my love, for now, I guess.
Now shut up and let me work my magic on you!” he teased me back, earning a soft moan and a passionate kiss. We forgot everything happening around us, and we expressed our deep feeling for each other, taking advantage of the fact that we are all alone in this house.
Then, all of a sudden, it dawned on me that something is not right here. I didn’t want to break our kiss and stop him from working his magic on my body, with his hands. But my brain was thinking hard about these few days and how abruptly Austin had left the house. It’s obvious that he doesn’t trust me around Tyler anymore. For some weeks now, he has been keeping a strict watch on us, and I know that it is simply because he doesn’t trust us around each other. He even said it out loud that he is suspicious of me and my affairs with his tech expert.
If he is this suspicious of us, then why would he leave us all alone in this house?
It’s not something that Austin would do, he doesn’t make such mistakes, not even if he is drunk. Besides, I’m pretty sure that Austin would never leave this house vulnerable to attack from his enemies. He has so much to lose if the cops come in here and get their hands on all his private documents. And at the same time, he has some of his illegal drugs and weapons stored in the basement, there is no way he would take out all the guards, leaving these things unprotected.
It’s either he upgraded his security system without telling either Tyler and me, or maybe he planted some guards around the building, but he doesn’t want his enemies to know so they could walk into a trap and get themselves killed.
Or wait,
Oh No!
Is the trap for me?
Did he set this up just to catch Tyler and I?
Oh my God!
“Tyler wait!
This could be a trap, he must have planted a bug in this room, or he planted a guard to hide in the house and monitor our movement. I don’t know why I’m feeling this way, but I’m pretty sure that Austin is too smart to leave us both in this house, not after what happened the other day. He suspects us, and he set this trap for us, and we stupidly fell for it!
How could we be so stupid!” I asked in fear as I realized that we have been fooled by Austin. I’m sure that by now, he already has all the evidence he needs to kill us both. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that this is all a setup. I can see the thoughtful look on Tyler’s face and I know that he is beginning to think about it as well.
“Pick up anything you can get your hands on, we need to get out of here before he gets back home!” he ordered me sternly as he pulled out his tablet and checked out the tracking device that he placed on Austin’s cars. I guess he is trying to figure out where he is so we would be able to time ourselves properly and we would know how long we have to escape before he gets back home.
“What are we going to do, Ty?
My kids!
How the hell did I get into this, why didn’t I think about this earlier, What the hell am I going to get my kids away from that bastard, how do I save them before he finds out that I have located them and changed their location?” I asked frantically. I could feel my heart beating faster, I’m nervous and Rylee knows that when I’m this nervous, I don’t usually think straight. He walked up to me and pulled me into his arms,
“I have all the information we need to get your kids and also snitch on Austin Foster as well. It’s all in my laptop, backed up in my special hard drive. We can save the girls, Casey, but we need to leave now before he catches us in this house. Get your shit together, I’ll be back in two minutes and we’ll fucking get out of here. Get only what’s important, we don’t want to be stalled by too much luggage, we need to fucking leave this dammed house, rugby now!” he stated firmly, assuring me that we would get out safely. He left me to go pack up his stuff as well, but he hadn’t taken two steps when the door swung open, and the demon himself stood by the entrance, smirking at us,
“Going somewhere?” he asked mockingly, his eyes glaring daggers at me and then diverting to Tyler, who seems to have gotten over his shock a lot faster than I could ever imagine. He held out a gun, and he pointed it at Austin’s face, with his hands shaking in fear. I didn’t even know that he owned a gun, I guess he must have been thinking about this for a while now. He must have known that this is bound to happen someday, that is why he carries a gun around. I went behind him immediately, and I tried to keep a safe distance and hide behind him.
“Let us go, Austin. We don’t want any trouble, we don’t want to be slaves to you anymore. Just let us go, and we won’t press charges, we won’t tell anyone about this, we would leave and never return to bother you.” Tyler pleaded, his voice coming out stronger than he looks. Austin simply laughed at his warning, making him look and sound stupid.
“You fool!
I ignored you two when you were only helping her to search around my head for evidence to use against me.
But the moment you fucked my wife, that is when you dug your own grave!” he responded to him, making me even more nervous and scared of him. It means that he knows about my plans, he has always known about my plans. He knows I was looking around the house for some evidence to use against him. I can’t believe that he knew all along, yet he kept quiet and let me go on believing that I stand a chance to escape from his house. Who knows, he may have been feeding us with wrong information all along, he must have been pulling my strings all along, manipulating me into believing that I can outsmart him.
After fooling me all this while, he decided to put an end to his silly games today. I guess he has come to kill us, that is why he pulled this stunt on us today. Well, if I’m going to die today, I might as well die with dignity and respect. For almost eight years, he has demeaned and abused me. I’ve shivered and cowered in fear for as long as I can remember.
But not anymore…
Certainly not today…
Yes, I was doing it all for my kids, and yes, they may end up growing up without a mother. But when Drake finally gets to him, when this evidence is found by the cops, I want it to be known that I did not cower in fear in my last moments. Let my kids know that their mom was brave, fierce, and strong. I won’t let him see me weak in my final moments, so I came out from my hiding spot behind Tyler and I faced him squarely, glaring daggers at him.
“What the hell are you doing, Cas?
Get back!
Stay behind me, you’ll get hurt!” Tyler pleaded.
“That’s it, baby girl. Come back to me willingly, and I may spare your life and that of your bratty kids. All you have to do is to ditch this loser and come to me, I’ll forgive you, I promise and I’ll take you back.” Austin kept trying to convince me to come back to him, but I know better than to believe a word of what he is saying. If I dare to go back to him, he will simply use me to taint and mock Tyler, and then he’ll still kill us both for daring to go against him.
“His boys are out there, Ty. He has us surrounded, and I know he is going to kill us both. I would rather die than listen to a word he is saying. I will die with dignity and I will be happy to die in your arms because I know that I was lucky enough to experience true love from you. I love you Tyler, and no matter what happens here today, I will keep on loving you.”
He looked down at me, smiling widely like a lovesick puppy. We totally ignored Austin, and we looked at each other with love and care. Then he used his free hand to pull me into his arms, leaning to kiss me passionately in front of Austin. We have nothing to lose anymore, we just have each other and our deep love for each other. It’s better we express our love in our last hours on earth, right?
We had only kissed for a few minutes when I heard the sound of a gunshot, and it was quickly followed by another shot, making it two gunshots. I was startled by the shots fired, and I felt Tyler shiver in my arms as well, so I thought he was also startled by the gunshots as well. It was when I felt him falling down on the floor like a deadweight that I realized that he has been shot by Austin. I screamed in pain as saw the trail of blood on his face, he was shot in the head, giving him no chance to fight for his life and survive this.
“You fucking bastard!
Kill me!
Kill me too!” I screamed at him in pain.
“No, baby girl. You ain’t dying today, not when I still need you alive. I told you you don’t own your life, did I?
You bitch!
I’ll make you regret your rebellion, I’ll make you fucking pay for this!” he let out angrily. As he spoke, I tried to crawl and reach for Tyler’s gun and take my own life. But he got to it before me and he kicked it away, then he locked his hand in my hair and dragged me away from Tyler’s body, stopping me from mourning his death.
“How dare you mourn your lover in front of me, have you gone completely insane?” he scolded me furiously, hitting me all over with his fist.
“Kill me!
Kill me now!
I can’t take this anymore!
I can’t go on this way, Austin, I’m done being your puppet. Just end it for me please, just kill me now!” I kept pleading and crying as he kept beating me continuously.
