Chapter 30

Carmella Hart:

"Let me tell you something you won't believe" Lexi Ryan said with a sly smile "I and Casper fucked this morning while you're here"

"I know that is a lie"

"Of course, you won't believe it. I already said you won't believe it" she shrugged. "He fucked me inside that room I was given. He was so good. He was screaming the whole time," she whispered aloud.

"I know that Casper will never cheat on me."

Lexi scoffed.

"And who do you think you're to him?"

"I'm his wife and the mother of his daughter. I'm not competing with you when it comes to Casper. I know that I am his number one priority"

"Keep bluffing"

"We both know that I'm not"

"KEEP BLUFFING!" she screamed and started hitting me "JUST KEEP BLUFFING! I'VE KNEW CASPER SINCE DIAPERS! I'M MEANT FOR HIM! I'M HIS WIFE!"

About two minutes later, she stopped hitting me and said "I don't have more time to waste on a dead body"

She opened her purse and brought out a short gun "Lexi it's not too late to change your mind" I said desperately while trying to free myself out of the handcuff "Lexi"

"SHUT UP!"

"Lexi, I promise to forgive you"

"I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING FORGIVENESS!"

"Lexi"

She pointed the gun at my forehead. Changed her mind few seconds later and pointed it at my heart "There are only two bullets inside this gun, and both are for you. The first one is for your heart and the second one for your head. Don't dream of surviving because you won't be surviving my shots"

"Lexi please" I begged, and tears rolled down my eyes "Don't beg me. You must die"

"Lexi"

"On your knees"

"Lexi please"

"ON YOUR FUCKING KNEES"

"Lexi please"

"Say your last prayer"

"Lexi please. I'm begging you"

"SAY YOUR FUCKING LAST PRAYER!"

Lexi Ryan:

"Our father who art in heaven" Carmella said and I cocked the gun. She stopped praying and looked at me.

"Continue" I said.

"Hallow be thy name."

I shot her.

She fell helplessly on the bed and I walked to where she was and smiled, "I don't even need to waste my second bullet…dummy."

Lexi Stokes:

We all ran out of the car and started heading inside the condemned story building, but the police stopped us.

Casper joined his hands together and started praying while Jason put his hand on my shoulder As the police were about to enter the building, we heard a gunshot and all of us stood like statues while Casper sat on his butt in shock We showed up late. I thought and tears started rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably. Carmella was gone and it was because we weren't fast enough Jason ran to where Casper sat and started consoling him but Casper out of control. He was shaking vigorously from shock The police ran inside, and we all waited for them to bring out the monster that killed Carmella Two minutes later, there was an announcement that the culprit had been caught, but when the culprit and her partner were dragged out of the building in hand cuffs, I was more shocked.

"Lexi" I called.

She hissed at me and looked at Casper who had raised his head up when he heard me called her name "Lexi" Casper also called, and tears rolled down his cheeks "Why?"

Lexi said nothing as she was pushed inside the police car.

The paramedics came out of the building with Lexi on their stretcher. She was unconscious and she needed our prayers because the bullet was inside her lungs Three days later…

"Are you really okay?" I asked Carmella "Yes"

"Are you sure that you are strong enough for this interview?"

"I've never been as strong as I am today in my entire life" she smiled "Okay. Once everything is set, I will come back for you"

I got up and was about to be heading out of the room, but she stopped me by grabbing my wrist. I turned around and looked at her "Thanks for saving my life"

I smiled and put my hand on her hand that was on my wrist "I'm not the one who saved your life. It was God and he used my friend"

"My regards to your friend"

"You don't have to send your regards" I smiled "She and her boyfriend are here with us today. Can they come in?"

"With maximum pleasure"

"Cheetah! Cynthia"

Cynthia opened the door and rushed toward Carmella while Cheetah just stood at one corner and watched.

Cheetah might be a bad boy, but he was our savior.
