Chapter 265 Live On

If Reece Wright hadn't gotten caught and sentenced to death, Dorothy Sampson wouldn't have been so

heartbroken-and she definitely wouldn't have ended her own life.

If that hadn't happened, Brendan wouldn't have lost the only sister he had left in the world.

And it all came back to Kristian.

Brendan's thoughts spiraled into something darker, something far more twisted, though he still wore that same unsettling smile. "If she hadn't spent that night by the sea, she wouldn't have caught a fever. And she never

would've told me she wanted to come here to clear her head."

Freya's thoughts were spinning, scanning everything she knew, trying to piece it together.

Dorothy?

Her boyfriend who'd been sentenced to death?

And Brendan Hoffman.

She kept digging through memories until the pieces snapped together.

*Uncertain, but needing to know, she asked, "Your sister... is she Dorothy Sampson?"

"You're quick, K," Brendan replied, giving a roundabout confirmation.

He'd taken his father's last name, but his sister had used their mother's.

After their parents died, Dorothy was all he had left. But Kristian had ruined even that.

"Her boyfriend got caught because of what he did. Kristian helping the police wasn't wrong," Freya said plainly. "If you want to point fingers, start with yourself. You knew what her boyfriend was involved in."

"I should blame myself?" Brendan shot back.

Freya still hadn't looked at Kristian.

"Right. I should blame myself," Brendan repeated, his tone suddenly soft. "That's why I brought her enemy here to die with me. A fitting tribute to her memory." Brendan turned his eyes on Freya, still speaking with that maddeningly calm tone. "Today, it's you, me, and Kristian. We're all going to die here... and join Dorothy on the other side."

That was why he'd said no one could ever sentence him.

Freya glanced down at the sea, then at the setup around them.

Jumping meant almost certain death. Staying meant a hundred percent chance of getting blown up. It was, quite literally, a dead end.
