Pure evil
Hawk Andrews (Edward Jones)
I released a heavy sigh as I stepped out of my mansion, everything that happened today was kind of draining. I can’t believe I almost lost Mary today. Taylor, what would I do with that woman. My car was parked outside the gate and another strange car was parked beside it. I paused for a moment, trying to get a glimpse of the person in the driver’s seat.
Suddenly, the person stepped out of the car. I was caught off by surprise, because I wasn’t expecting to see him at all. It has been years, way back in high school.
“Hi Hawk,” he called out, forcing a smile as he stepped closer to me.
“Wow! Jeremy. It has been a long time. How have you been?” I asked, still staring at him in shock. He has changed so much, he was not the Jeremy I used to know. He is way taller and bulkier than before. It is weird to see my high school partner in crime standing before me. Taylor used to be scared of him back then because he didn’t stop making her life miserable, but everything stopped after Taylor did a weight loss body surgery. Jeremy was practically Taylor’s bully while I was Mary’s bully. I wonder if she was still scared of him.
“How have I been?” He asked, scoffing loudly. I raised an eyebrow in question, not quite understanding why he looks angry.
“I heard you have been acting as my son’s father when I am still alive,” he added, hissing as he stood right in front of me.
“Your son? You have a son?” I asked in confusion.
“Stop playing the pretence game with me. You know what I am talking about don’t you.”
“I am sorry Jeremy, but I have no idea of what you are insinuating.” I replied calmly.
“Why the fu*k would you name my son after you, Hawk junior! Are you kidding me you bastard.” He growled out.
“What a relief,” I muttered under my breath.
“Thanks for this, you have no idea how happy I am to hear this from you. I have always known that child wasn’t mine. Calm down Jeremy, I don’t have the intention of claiming your son as mine. I think you should have a conversation with his mother, she is the one who is trying to push the father responsibilities to me. She keeps claiming the child is mine.”
“So how do you intend to explain the engagement or do you think I haven’t heard about it. What other excuse do you want to give? for your information I’m taking Taylor to the underworld. You had better get rid of the idea of getting married to her because it won’t happen.”
“What!” I exclaimed loudly, Jeremy swore in high school that he won’t ever take up in his father’s footsteps but seems like he has already. I never imagined he would take over his family’s lineage. He was part of the mafia world now.
“You heard me clearly. I don’t know what might be happening between you two. But Taylor is mine, mine alone and I’m taking what is mine before the end of today.” He barked out with an air of finality before walking back to his car.
I could only smile after hearing this, I wanted to tell him I had no intention of taking what was his away from him and he could have her forever. But he didn’t wait to listen to what I have to say before he drove off.

I noticed a black car was following me as I drove back to the office. It wasn’t Jeremy’s car and I wonder who it was. Anytime the car speeds towards me. I made sure to dodge it, I was in haste to get to a much busier road. Being alone on the road with this strange car was making me get crazy ideas. I picked up my phone in a hurry and dialed Xander’s number, making sure to put it on loudspeaker. Whoever is tailing me must be up to something dangerous.
“Hello brother!” Xander said..
“Go to my house right now and get Mary and the kids out of there. But be careful and be at alert.” I replied hurriedly.
“Is something wrong, I thought you already booked a morning flight to Santorini tomorrow morning.”
“Something is not right, there is a car following…..” Before I could finish my words, I noticed another car speeding towards me at the front, the other one was still behind me. It was too sudden, before I could use the break or swerve to the sides. The car rammed into me the first time, the glasses shattered and the car reversed, Then it increased speed and rammed into my passengers side the second time. I caught a glimpse of the culprit as she got thrown out of the broken windscreen of her car.
My car rolled over several times, breaking glasses and inflating the safety bag. Everything occurred in slow motion, probably due to my extreme heightened awareness. My head made contact with the dashboard not a moment later. Making blood pour out of my nose.
There was a moment of silence, extreme silence that was like a piercing sound in my ear. Silence with a bit of noise. The crash itself was very disorienting. It was loud and Everything becomes still and quiet right after the impact.
I immediately began to smell coolant, the radiator has probably cracked. And the air-bag propellant has a burnt -chemical smell.
My life flashed through my mind as if it was being fast forwarded. I saw myself eating Mary’s special recipe of Lasagna. The hectic chaos begins, different thoughts began to run through my mind. Am I still alive? Is the person I saw being thrown out with force who I think it was, and did she survive it. I noticed I can’t feel my leg or my arm. The woman who hit me was pure evil.
The smell of fuel leaking from my car wasn’t helping the situation, I couldn’t breathe properly because of the smell and this made me want to move out of the car, the passenger’s window was already broken, that was the easiest way to get out. My head was hurting terribly, and the rate at which my heart was beating was too fast, but I persisted. The car was definitely going to blow up soon, and I badly want to be out of it before it does. The moment I crept out of the car, that’s when I saw it. My left arm was bent in a weird position, it didn’t look pretty. The pain was just too much for me to bear.
One moment I was cruising along the road trying to get away from the vicinity, and the next second, a driver in another car jumps the lane and hits me head on. Suddenly everywhere became dark, the darkness enveloped me, pulling me and not letting me go no matter how hard I tried to stop it.

Unknown’s point of view
News got to me that Jeremy paid Hawk a visit, that idiot ruined my plan already. I thought me rejecting him was going to get him off my back, but the idiot didn’t get the message. How I wish he wasn’t the father of my son.
I went far to get a weight loss surgery and a beauty fix so Hawk Andrews could notice me and he still wants to go back to that bitch, no one takes what is mine. I want Hawk Andrews and no one else and if I can’t have him. I will make sure no one else can have him, whatever happens to him, he surely called it upon himself.
“Have you found him? Are you still following him?” I asked Biden over the phone.
“Let me know when you get to the right spot.” I added.
“I have found him, he’s driving towards the upple street.” Biden said. I immediately revived the engine of my car and I drove towards Upple street. This was going to be the end of Hawk Andrews, the end of us both. We will be dying together.
I increased my speed immediately I sighted his car. My car collided with his the first time, then I reversed before speeding towards him and hitting him with full force. I immediately felt myself being thrown out of the car with the force, I landed on one of the rods in the street, a sharp pain shot through my chest as I saw a rod protruding out of my chest, with pools of blood gushing out of it. I knew I wasn’t going to survive this, neither would Hawk Andrews survive, I saw the way his car rolled over twice or even thrice. I smiled as darkness engulfed me, my heart stopped beating, we both died together. This is the end of us both.
