Chapter 122

I could see Tabitha who stood behind Ashton, looking terrified. There was a stalemate between the two psychopaths as they stared each other down. Ashton looked like a raging bull while Angela was eerily calm and collected.

That was a superpower of hers I had noticed over time. She was able to remain calm in the mist tense of environments in order to get a rise out of you. But the last thing we needed right now was to get a rise out of Ashton. He was unstable even on the best of days.

“All of this is a lie?” His voice boomed against the walls of the cabin. “You lied to me!”

“Oh come now, I literally met you two weeks ago. It’s your fault for believing me and it doesn’t matter anyway. You will get your money and I will get Damon, it’s a win-win”

“But you said you wanted to kill her. That was not what I signed up for. I am not a killer.”

“Oh, but you will be and quite honestly think of it this way, she will be gone and you will be free to go after her sister. The entire reason Corinna called it off was because she was in her ear. Now you can get your wife back like you always wanted

The room grew silent as he thought it over. His eyes moved from me to Angela and then back again. This psychopath was actually thinking about it. Was the man truly obsessed with my sister like that, that he wanted to trap her yet again even though she had made it perfectly clear that she was happier without him? Had the public humiliation not been enough? He must also be living in the same land of delusion that Angela was.

“But what about the ran80111?”

That was the first thing that came out of his mouth.

“You will still get the ransom, and I will get what I always wanted, the love of my life.”

I had to keep myself from scoting under my breath because of how crazy this all sounded.
