His voice didn't leave anything up for debate so I immediately fell down
on the couch, mouth slightly open in shock. My heart started beating furiously.
This whole scene was how a lot of my nightmares started.
“Maddox, please. You’re scaring me.” Tears were gathering in my eyes.
How come every fucking good day I had ended up in shit.
That man in front of me that looked like Maddox but didn’t act like him
chuckled darkly.
“I’m scaring you?” He narrowed his eyes at me and I swear my heart
stopped for a second there. “That’s fucking rich coming from a killer.”
A killer.
Killer. Killer. Killer.
The word echoed in my head, like the aftershock of a bomb going off. It
was deafening.
Blood froze in my veins as my eyes opened wide. No.
No, no, no, no.
This couldn’t be happening.
Panic rising inside of me had me gasping for air. I couldn't believe this
was happening. He couldn't know. Maddox couldn't know my secret. He
couldn't know the one thing I swore to never speak of, the one thing I tried to
push to a dark corner of my mind just so I would never have to look back at
it.
A killer.
That’s what I was, wasn’t it?
I had killed.
