"Ugh, so annoying, anyway, that was your ex-best friend on the phone, probably calling to inform you that the body of your beloved has been found in some ditch somewhere." David sneers, ripping the tape off Liah's mouth.
"Moses isn't dead, you disgusting pig! Do you really think he's just going to sit there and let Anthony take his life? He escaped the other side's base and ripped through it like a tornado...."
"Bla-bla-bla." David Jear cutting her off. "You make it sound as if he's some god or something. He's just a man, Liah, like the rest of us; he bleeds just like the rest of us, and he can easily be killed, just like the rest of us, so spare me your damn worship ranting," he growls.
"Why do you think I chose to use Zoey to get rid of that piece of shit? Because I knew that as long as your idiot, trigger-happy brother believes that he was the one who got his baby sister pregnant, no one would be able to stop him from killing that bastard, and it worked." David laughs, tightening the ropes on Liah's hands and feet.
"Get comfy, sweetheart, this will be your final resting place because no one, and I mean, no one, is going to find you here." He chuckles. "You won't get away with this, David!" She shouts.
"Look around, sweetheart, I already have. You left for a two-week retreat, and there are a few days left before that retreat ends, and only then will anyone realize that you're not really there. I already told your mother that I was going to meet you here and that we were going to try and patch things up...
And last night, I called her and told her that we got engaged. She even congratulated us, and she called me this morning just to check in, so she isn't the least bit worried about you...
And Anthony has his hands full with killing your lover and other gang stuff; he doesn't have the time to worry about you right now." He laughed menacingly.
"Your lover probably died believing that we had run off together. So no one is coming to save you, Liah, no one." "David, don't do this, please." She cried. "Sorry, honey, it's way too late for begging; you shouldn't have disrespected me the way you did. Now you'll pay for your sins." He growls slapping her hard across her face, which made her cry out, but then she remembered Moses's high tolerance for pain.
So instead of making him see how badly her face stings, she bit her lips, swallowed the taste of blood in her mouth, and took a deep breath before speaking again.
"What about your sins, David? Having sex with a child, getting her pregnant, then framing someone else for your crime, isn't that sinful as well?" "My sins aren't on trial here, yours are," he sneers, then continues. "But you know what? You're right, intercourse with Zoey was wrong but the little twit was so damn willing...
Then shortly after you returned from Razor's base, she told me that she was pregnant. I was all set to blame a boy from her school, if he died, then no problem, it was all about saving my ass and reputation...
just like he killed your lover because he thought that he was the father, if he knew that I was, then I would be dead for sure, and she was sooo in love with me that she couldn't bear to see me get hurt, so we both agreed that someone else had to take the blame." He gloats, circling her like a predator with a smug smirk on his face.
"But then Razor stash that clueless dimwit in your house and bam! I came up with a new plan, blame it on the dimwit." He laughed, clapping his hands like an overexcited child on Christmas.
"But of course I had to act as if I was against it, you know, make a scene and all that while subtly planting the seed of doubt in your mind, but his losing his life for something he didn't do is all your fault...
Because I wouldn't have even come up with that plan if you weren't so damn drawn to him. I mean, I know that along with all the others mongrels over at Razor's house that had their way with you, he too got in on the action, but instead of being disgusted by him, you were drawn to him, you wanted more of him...
just proves how disgusting you are. You were so eager to jump his bones again that you didn't even know that I came back to the house that morning, but came back I did, and I heard both of you in the bathroom ...
I couldn't hear all that was being said through the door because of the running water, but I did hear him tell you to lace your hands around his neck. I kind of figured out the rest after that. I left while both of you were grunting like animals, you disgusting bitch!" He growls slapping her again, which made her dizzy.
"Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to pretend that I didn't know what was going on between the two of you? To continue playing the clueless boyfriend, huh? Hmm, anyway." He sucks his teeth, then continues.
"Just in case you were wondering how Zoey was able to describe that sex position in such great detail, I was the one who provided her with that little info. I also told her how the big bad Michael was leading her big sister down a sinful path and how he needed to be punished, and of course, she agreed, so she had no problem helping me get rid of him, and man, that plan worked perfectly." He laughed, kissing the tip of his fingers.
Her phone begins ringing again, and he checks it. "Hmm, someone keeps calling from your dead lover's phone, maybe it's your brother calling to gloat about how he disposed of him but I'll pass on that." He sneers, flinging her phone against the wall, smashing it to pieces.
"Nooo! That wasn't Anthony, it was Moses, he's alive and he's trying to reach me." She cried. "Bullshit! He's dead, Liah! Dead, get that through your thick skull!"
"I can't believe you were behind everything from the very beginning. I even defended you." She gritted out between clenched teeth. "And why exactly would I need a lowlife like you to defend me? Woman, please." He sucks his teeth again.
"I was the puppet master pulling all your strings, from the nosy church sister coming over to bake, so both of them had to be locked in a room alone all day, to all the questions Zoey asked him about himself...
to the meditation scene that you walked in on, to that dance routine which had her falling on top of him, to that video she made while he was exercising, Everything Liah. I was pulling the strings to everything, am I a genius or what?" He asks, admiring himself in a long length mirror.
"You were behind the questions she asked him?" "Of course I was, I had to get my info somehow right? Wait, you didn't actually thought that little twit was that smart, did you? That, my dear was phase one of my plan, divide and conquer...
but come to think of it, there was one thing I wasn't responsible for." he says scratching his freshly shaved chin.
