#Chapter 247: Superheroes

Moana

A little while later, Edrick and I were standing in the front doorway of the mansion and looking out at the scene before us.

The security guards were leading Michael, who was cuffed, over to the car. His nose was still clotted with blood from Edrick’s punch, but something about it was satisfying to see. I enjoyed seeing Michael finally face some consequences for his actions, and I especially enjoyed watching Selina scold him like a child.

What was even more satisfying, though, was seeing him being shoved into the back of the car to be driven down to the police station.

Kat was found by the guards, too. Not long after Edrick punched Michael in the face, Kat was found hiding in the woods. As it turned out, Michael paid her a pretty penny to get close to me and lead me off into the forest to get lost so that he could kill me. She looked ashamed as the guards cuffed her, and wouldn’t even lift her gaze to look at me.

Edrick had already called the police and told them what happened. They were waiting for Michael and Kat now, and I couldn’t wait to see them both behind bars after everything that they did along with Kelly and Ethan.

As we watched the security guards drive away with Michael in the back of the car, Edrick slipped his arm around me and let out a sigh. I couldn’t help but tear up as I gazed up at him; just an hour ago, I thought that I had lost him forever. And now, he was standing beside me without a scratch on him.

“Come on,” Edrick said, guiding me away from the door. “You should rest. Are you feeling alright?”

I nodded. “I’m fine. I feel great, actually. Maybe we should follow the security guards so we can give our statements to the police—”
