My CEO 121

121 She Made Me Do It

(Ashlyn)

I will my hands not to shake as I hold the gun and my mind is clear.

This is the only way to end this once and for all. Winona stands there with Gordon Brown and Jayden, and all I can think about is how she's ruined everything.

Jayden should be mine. He was always supposed to be mine. This is all her fault. Jayden should be here beside me. Worried about me.

I take a deep breath, steadying myself. The gun feels good in my hand. I don't care what happens after this. If I can't have Jayden, she won't have him either. She won't have anything but death. I'm done with the games, the lies. This ends now.

Winona's eyes widen when she sees me. For a split second, our eyes lock, and I see her fear. Good. Shet should be afraid. She's taken everything from me. I hate her.

Without another thought, I pull the trigger.

The gunshot cracks through the air, making my ears ring, and everything happens in slow motion yet it's micro-seconds. I see Jayden move, throwing himself in front of Winona.

The bullet hits him square in the chest, and he falls to the ground, I see blood on his shirt.

"No!" I scream, the reality of what just happened hitting me like a freight train. "No, no, no! Jayden!" I take aim at Winona again because she has to die.
