KELLY POV
I gasped as Dain forced me to sit, and Holly chuckled before pulling him closer. Then she kissed him again, this time with her eyes on me.
It felt as if my heart was ripped out of my chest and her betrayal stinged even more than Dain's. We are like soul sisters, and I love her so damn much.
I didn't expect this from Dain or even from her. I have never felt so heartbroken all my life; she pulled away, smirking at me.
"How did that make you feel?" She taunted.
"Nauseous," I replied, wiping the tears on my cheeks; it didn't stop more from falling.
This is Holly, my nice friend that looks out for me, the one that was worried that I would get lost in the crowd last night.
The one I shared everything with, and nobody knows her like she knows me; she is the reason I'm not in college now. I gave her my savings because she had a debt she wanted to pay.
This is how she repays me? Sleeping with my boyfriend behind my back and holding a knife at me.
"Oh, don't cry, you poor thing. Look at how she is crying like she's the innocent one," she pouted.
Dain left for her room, and it was just the two of us. I glanced at the door. I can escape if I play my cards right. "Don't even think about it; if not, I will gut you and call it a day," she threatened with an unhinged glint in her eyes.
"You see you and I are different; we are so different, and sometimes I wondered why you didn't notice. I didn't sleep with your boyfriend because I fell in love with him or something; I only did it to spite you, and I saw how you were head over heels in love with him, so I seduced him, and I might have told him something about you." She shrugged and started laughing hysterically like a maniac.
Oh my goodness, is she possessed?
"When did this happen?" I asked to see if I could buy some time to make my escape; she is crazy, and I don't need anyone to confirm that.
"I don't know, two months ago? Three months ago? Or let's see... A year ago?" She chuckled while playing with the knife in her hand.
"What did I ever do to you?" I asked and she scoffed.
"What did you ever do to me? Let's see is the fact that you are a worthless little whore or that you are a snake!" She snarled, pointing the knife at me. I have to think fast before she cuts me.
"You went ahead and dated Carl, even when you knew how I felt about him, you worthless piece of shit! You go around acting like a little Miss Goody two shoes when you are just a little slut," she accused.
"What the hell are you talking about? You never told me you liked Carl; I didn't even like that guy; he's my ex for crying out loud! You didn't say anything when I told you he asked me out," I yelled. If this is about my ex, then she has got to be kidding me.
He wasn't my type, and we only dated for a few months before I ended things with him. I met Dain right after, and we started dating.
She never told me anything about this, and I'm surprised the whole thing is about him. "You see why I hate you; you act like you are so good when you really are a bitch. Carl wasn't interested in me after he saw your stupid, beautiful face. I saw him first, and I fell for him first, then you just had to come in and ruin it all with your slutty eyes and pretty face. I hate you for taking that away from me. Guess what? Your useless boyfriend didn't even try to stop me from making advances on him. It started with one phone call. I lied that you were sick; he rushed down while you were away, and I lied that you were cheating. After that, I gave him a good head, and he resisted only at the beginning, but soon I had him eating out of my palm. You know how men think of women as fickle, but it's the opposite, and I didn't even have to try hard." She laughed.
"You are a monster," I spat, and she grabbed my hair, pulling so hard my scalp burned in pain.
"Yes, my dear, and I'm going to enjoy showing you what this monster is capable of." She raised the knife to stab me, and I didn't think twice before throwing my weight on her.
We crashed on the table, and her grip on my hair loosen, so I made a run for it, only for her to grab my hair again, pulling me back.
Pain crossed through my veins as she sank the knife into my right shoulder, and I screamed in pain, "If you think you will be leaving this place alive, then think again. Don't worry, I won't dump you in a ditch. Your boyfriend suggested we dump you in an abandoned alley full of trash. Don't worry, the police will find your body quickly so you can rest in a morgue. I'm sure we'll be out of the country when they start investigating. We are leaving in two two hours." She whispered into my ear and ripped the knife out.
I cried out in pain, then I hit her stomach with my elbow. She grunted and let go of me. My shoulder was bleeding badly, and I needed to leave before she got to me again.
"You are just a sour, jealous bitch!" I yelled, holding my bleeding shoulder as I turned to kick her stomach. She yelled, calling for Dain as I kicked her again, and then I quickly ran for the door just as I was about to twist the doorknob.
A heavy weight crashed on my back, and I wailed as Dain dragged me back. Holly had recovered, and she glared at me before stabbing me again in my left thigh.
Dain held my hands behind my back with his other hand on my mouth; my screams were muffled, and I lost hope as she stabbed my right thigh.
Dain let me go, and I fell on the ground with a large thud. I couldn't walk, so I started crawling away from her.
"Now it's time to finish it." She raised the knife again, and I screamed.
The door burst open, and I heard a gunshot. My eyelids were heavy as I was losing blood, and my vision was blurry.
I caught a glimpse of some men in black suits before I passed out.
KELLY POV My eyes caught Holly's worried gaze as I took my fifth shot of tequila. She should take a chill pill. I'm not going to pass out on her. We are at Brooklyn's most expensive nightclub, and it's not as if we just got in here by luck. I work here, and they let me take someone with me because I'm a staff.That's why my best friend is here with me, and the main reason is... It's my twentieth birthday! My boyfriend Dain is supposed to be here with us, but he said he had something important to take care of, and I'm guessing it has to do with his mother. That's the only thing important to him apart from me."Kelly, quit drinking. You know I can't handle you when you are drunk. How will I carry you out of this place without any assistance?" She pointed out taking the glass out of my hand as I tried to take another shot."It's a club, Holly; you can ask anyone for help; they will gladly help you; it's a free world; you don't have to worry about anything." I smiled, taking the shot
KELLY POVEverything was a mistake.My life itself is a mistake, and I don't know how I ended up making another. I quickly snapped out of my pathetic thoughts. "You are awake." He stated the obvious as I wrapped the duvet around my chest: "Yes, but I wish I passed away instead of waking up in a stranger's bed." I huffed, picking up my clothes from the floor while using one hand to hold the duvet on my chest.What am I even hiding? The pervert has seen it all while he was having his fill with me last night.Last night... Where was Holly? Why didn't she stop him? Is she alright?"That's not a healthy thought, Kelly," he said, and I paused too angry to let this go."You stupid jerk! Don't you ever call my name again; in fact, I never want to see your stupid face in front of me, fucking pervert. I should report you to the police." I gritted out, but he seemed so chill, like I didn't just threaten to report him for raping me."You are only mad because you don't remember what happened; you
ALEXANDER POV I might have turned into a statue as I watched her go; she just insulted me in the presence of my men.They all stayed silent, waiting for me to shoot her in the head or something, but I couldn't move; instead, I found myself wanting to follow her. I have always loved a challenge, and Kelly seems like the type I would want to keep. "Should I go after her?" Finn, my second in command, asked.He thinks I want him to go finish her off, but it was far from that; I want to keep her instead, which doesn't make any sense. I don't chase women or try to make them stay.Kelly is a bit different from all the women I have met ever since my ex-wife left me. The women usually are the ones to try to get my attention, but I found myself wanting Kelly to look at me at the bar last night.She didn't seem impressed or even try to make advances at me until she was completely wasted. I should have stopped her, but I couldn't because I couldn't think straight.I wanted her so badly.And I s
KELLY POV The tears streamed down my chin as I hopped into the taxi. I couldn't even stop myself from sobbing like a child.The driver was stealing glances.at me, but he couldn't ask if I was okay. This is New York; not everyone is okay with their lives, and a sobbing girl in his taxi shouldn't be his problem. I wiped the tears trying to figure out what I would say to Holly or Dain. I really hope Holly is alright, because I don't understand why she will let me out of her sight.Was she drunk too?Or is it just my fault that I went back to the handsome stranger I met at the bar? I'm such a dumb idiot. All these wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been drinking like that; my head is pounding and my stomach rumbles loudly enough for the driver to hear. I didn't have the time to be embarrassed because I was busy reflecting on my actions. "Here." The driver tossed me a chocolate bar, and I grabbed it, tearing it open.My eyes caught my reflection in the side mirror, and I looked terri
