Chapter 15

“I know, but what with the face?? You seem like you found a bag of money.” I questioned him.

“Oh, do you remember when I saw you and this guy at lunch– which pissed me off?”

“You mean Brad? Did you see him at that lounge? I said. He stated he met him when passing out some flyers for an event. He doesn't remember the event because he threw out the flyers, but that bar is where Bailey was last seen. Somehow he thinks that guy has something to do with that incident.

The look on his face as he was proud of his lead. Even though he said that I was confused about why Brad would be there, he has two jobs already. Before I could say something, I was cut off by knocking from Aria. She wanted to come into the room to get comfortable.

With no movement, she pounded on the door, which forced us to open it. Why would we get death stares? She shrugged happily as she went to get her pajamas. I faced Kevin and told him I would help. "I really don't want you to do this, but it's your choice, babe." He kisses me on the cheek.

Footsteps were heard from the kitchen. We quickly looked to see who walked into the house. It was Evan and Brandon with bags of food. My twin apologized for not walking home like time and brought my favorite food to make up for it. Aria peeks around the doorway and speeds past us to get the bags. Aria is a big foodie and eats everything in sight. I grabbed a bag before Aria devoured our meal, and we went to the living room to watch a movie.

Evan and Brandon got all cuddled up. I wanted to do it with Kevin, but it would be suspicious. "What am I? The fifth wheel?" Aria complained.

"Are you lonely, Aria?" I teased her. "Why don't you join me if you want to cuddle? I'll keep you warm, babe." I smiled as I opened my arms. Without hesitation, Aria jumped into my arms, and we enjoyed the movie without problems.

After a long day at work, I went to the junkyard to relieve stress. I walked into the office to find Minho waiting for me. “A new bride is waiting on you, Brad. She is tied up to the chair downstairs. She was still knocked out." He said proudly. Saying okay, I went to check the monitors. A blank tv screen sits in the left-hand corner. I plugged up some wires to fix the problem, and a picture appeared. The camera I placed on Aria came on smoothly. Another image popped up; it was the view of the police station. Two in one. Now, I can watch my enemies every move.

"This is a beautiful sight; it's like playing cat and mouse. But they will never find out where the mouse is hidden." I laughed. Snatching the mask from my desk, I headed downstairs to the beauties. It was quiet as the girls shivered in their cages.

“My third victim has arrived. Do not worry, my love. You won't be here for long as you are only temporary until my main meal is here.” I said as I grabbed a scalpel from the metal table. The cold object was placed on her cheek as I began to cut into her skin– making an x mark the spot. The woman woke up screaming in pain. She wiggled around, and the chains rattled, giving me a satisfying tingle.

The woman I snatched up was too big for my taste, so I gave her the needed surgery. All the fat needs to vanish so I can have something slender. She screamed so loud the others backed away from the scene. I let her destroy her lungs, as no one can hear her. Jennie and Bailey were the only ones who watched this tragic event, which somehow pleased them. They saw someone who was not them get tortured. This woman is getting much worse than them as they got brutally beaten. Their wounds were still healing. Annoyed, I taped the woman’s mouth shut. Hums sneaked their way in while I washed the blood.

Behind this mask, I had dark and lustful eyes. The girls couldn’t see my face at all. But they knew how much I was enjoying the torture. After she was washed and stitched up, I took the bloody water and threw it at Bailey. "I can see what you are doing! Stop messing with your chains! Now I'm going to look at your room."

"N-n-no. I was doing nothing— I swear!" Bailey begged and pleaded with me. It was no use. I began to abuse her until she couldn’t move. I don’t kill unless I need to. I like to break. Them. Down.

"If I see any of you playing with your chains, it will be the end for you!" I grabbed the girl on the chair and tossed her in the cell next to Jennie. I made sure I chained her up nicely. “I will starve you until I get acceptable weight. Then a second surgery will begin, okay.”

Whimpers and shivers came from the new girl as the old ones stayed completely silent. At this point, there was nothing they could do.

The movie ended. We all yawned and stretched our aging bones. Evan and Brandon said their goodnight as they went to bed. Kevin gave me a quick kiss before going to his room. Aria and I stayed up to talk. "I was wondering.... why do you and Kevin keep your relationship a secret?"

"Because it will be troublesome for our careers and my brother. To find out your sister is dating your roommate is weird." I began to clean up the living room.

"But it's not like it's his house to think less of you."

Agreeing to that, I mentioned we weren't ready to come out yet. People don’t need to know about our relationship as people like to start drama. We have been dating secretly for almost a year, and it’s going well. Keeping it a secret is for the best. "But you can't even be seen together— alone. Isn't that stressful? You two can't even have sex without Evan knowing."

"We do have sex. When he is not here, or we have quickies." I chuckled nervously. "It's just that Evan will freak the hell out, and I don't want that."

Aria shook her head. Her eyes averted to the left, then back at me. Who did she see?
