“Maddox, what have you done?” I whispered in fright.
Energy was slowly leaving my body, it felt like I could lose
consciousness at any moment.
“You don’t get to act that way now, Sofia! Not when you’ve betrayed me
in the worst possible way! All this time and you were only fucking using
me?”
Tears started rolling down my cheeks, I was shaking my head hysterically,
I wanted to say that wasn’t true, that I never used him but no words would
come out of my mouth.
They were all stuck in my throat, so much it felt like I couldn’t breathe.
“I trusted you! Fell in love with you and you went ahead and stabbed me
in the back! How fucking could you, Sofia?!” His screams were the only
thing that echoed in my brain, that and the whispers that said everything was
over.
I didn’t feel guilty that night. After all, I was only doing what was best for
my sister. But right then seeing Maddox’s red eyes, his clenched jaw as he
yelled at me and flung his arms in the air like a madman, the guilt I
experienced was soul-crushing.
“I can’t believe I let you around Valentina while all this time you were the
killer, Sofia.” He hissed the last part of his sentence with so much
disappointment and rejection it made me ill. Had I been able to, I would have
thrown up his words just so that they’d stop plaguing my insides and making
me sick.
“Fucking dammit, Sofia, answer me!”
“My name is not fucking Sofia!” My shrieking voice seemed to take us
both by surprise and Maddox took a step back, stunned. “It’s not, it’s not, it’s
not!” I couldn’t stop screaming, grabbing my head as tremors wrecked my
body. It was like something in me had broken, like the last thread holding my
sanity together had snapped.
