His Crooked Ways

CHAPTER : TEN

He is a dead man.

Emma was stunned by his words, he could feel her breath stuck in her throat for a second. He shouldn't have said that, he was making progress, and after many years he is finally close.

"What do you mean?" she uttered, her tone filled with disbelief, "What do you mean by he paid?"

Please don't ask

He tugged her toward him, they should leave now before she knows the truth. If she knew now then all of the things he did will be for nothing.

"It means he paid me money to have you, to break up with you" George snickered, proud of himself.  He hated the smile on his face,

Does his smile remain the same when I make him go bankrupt?

Emma shoved his hand from her wrist and advanced toward him, he sat on the floor with his hands pressed to the ground.

"So that's the reason for the breakup, he paid you, isn't it?" she asked him, gone was the shock, now she was scowling at him with disdain.

"Yeah", that was all his reply, no other explanation. The next moment she slapped him hard on the face.

This has to be the second-best thing I saw this year.

"Fucking asshole" she was brimming with rage, she looked like she wanted to kill him on the spot. Everyone around us was trying to intrude, trying to de-escalate the situation, but one look is all it takes for them to wither in fear.

Cowards.

She came toward Zander, or at least that's what he thought, but she went past him. She was leaving the place. But he was the one who drove them there, then how will she go?

He thought she was angry at him, so she will insanely walk home, but she went toward the exit and turned, crossing her arms, with her gaze focused on him.

"Get the car," she ordered.

Zander gave her a quick nod and paced over to get the car.

He thought she will explode in anger, but her silent gaze seemed far more lethal than her anger.

"Emma if you want to kill him, just tell me. I'll get it done." He told her, looking at her face through the rearview mirror. But she didn't reply to him, she didn't even look at him.

When they reached her apartment he swiftly got out of the car to open her door, but she opened it herself and started to pace toward her home.

What should I do now?

The sane part of him told me to give her a moment to compose herself, to explain myself to himself tomorrow. Today has been quite eventful, so all of them need a breather.

Besides what else can he do, barge into her house and demand her to hear what I am about to say?

No, I shouldn't do that, that is not nice.

That's what he thought when he waited for a long time and finally decided to knock at her door.

So, He knocked at her door and waited for her to open it, he have to be patient.
When there was no response, he knocked again. Wait, did she-is she-No, she is not gonna do what he thought she was going to do right?

I mean, I don't think she will decide to end her life for that loser.

But he didn't want to take any chance, so he was about to break the door open, and she decided to open the door at the same time.
