Chapter 61 Kieren
KIEREN
Present Day
“You fucking bitch,” I growl in her face. The chill of death permeates my limbs, and I shake uncontrollably. I estimate I have an hour tops before I’m unconscious.
“Is this what you want, baby?” Monroe coos, squeezing my bloody finger in the hand she holds over the water. “If you’re going to kill me, then go ahead.”
The demented smile on her face is one that could bring me to my knees. Fuck, my beautiful puppy. So goddamn perfect.
So goddamn dead.
“You don’t look so good, Kieren. Better listen to your friend and go to the hospital.”
“Give me…my… ring,” I stammer, words now becoming difficult to form.
“Did you like it when I kissed you earlier?” the bitch continues to taunt. “I felt your stiff cock between my legs. It’s a shame you’ll never get to fuck me with it again.”
“Fuck you, Monroe,” I spit. This is not how we were supposed to end. I was supposed to fucking catch her. I was supposed to have her again, fuck her again, call her mine again. And then kill her.
Failure sluices through my veins like ice, and I don’t fail.
“Shut… up,” I shake. “Shut up, you worthless cunt.”
“Worthless? Now there’s the Kieren I once loved,” she insincerely pouts. Her glinting, deep blue eyes mock me with sick delight, and at the intentional flaunt of her bygone love, I snap. Because she was always supposed to love me, no matter what I fucking did. Mine until the bitter end.
Pushed to the edge of my sanity, my vision begins to blur. My hand grabs her throat, my physical movements now disconnected from my brain, and I squeeze with as much strength as I have left. “Do it,” she begs, barely able to get a breath down. “Do it, you fucking pussy.”
Rage. My entire body floods with rage. I can’t see. I can’t stop myself from shaking. I’m losing control.
“Come find me in hell, Kieren, and when you do, I’ll give you a big fucking kiss.”
I don’t know if I did it. I don’t know if I pushed her, or if she slipped off the ledge of the footbridge, but in the blink of an eye, she’s gone.
Then I hear it, and the sickening crack of her body colliding with the still water of the lake swallows me, and all I had planned for my sweet puppy, whole.
